FREYNE R IG H T T H E FIR ST T IM E So LaTulippe is not the ideal poster kid for an anti-hazing campaign, and his motives may be less than “pure.” Big deal. Check o u t a few o f the folks basking in the governm ents w it­ ness protection program, or who have gone scot-free for their own sins in exchange for public testi­ m ony that put an end to other crimes. W hy Freyne’s sudden contri­ tion and awkward attem pt to re­ anoint the U VM hierarchy just because the context o f the details was a bit distorted in the first telling o f hockey hazing [Inside Track, M ay 17]? O r does he real­ ly expect us to believe there was N O H A Z IN G at UVM whatso­ ever? N o drunken bashes, no “elephant walk?” Just because at least one juvenile macho now admits he enjoys flashing and under-age drinking?

C ’mon, Peter. You were right the first time. Hazing doesn’t build team spirit (unless you’re talking to a bunch of social mis­ fits or street gangs). And UVM didn’t have the smarts to catch on or the balls to do anything about it — from the president to the coaches — until they were forced to, thanks to the press. Yes, Peter, you were right to shame UVM for looking the other way on the subject o f haz­ ing for so many years. And it will be another shame if the recent revelations about Mr. LaTulippe’s wayward ways diminish latebloom ing insights on the hill. Let’s hope none of them read your latest penning (an after­ m idnight slip-up?). O r maybe they had the good sense to ignore it. Good character, sportsm an­ ship and survival in the face of adversity are never built on hum iliation and fear, let alone

Then he is whisked in a golf cart the 1000plus-feet east to Boss Hawgs II Bikini Co., where waitresses are clad in bikinis but the beer flows freely. T he golf cart ride is free and there’s no cover charge at Boss Hawgs. Neon Cowboygoers can swig soft drinks while they watch dancers shed their clothing.

Bob Lemke, the operator o f a Stratford, W isconsin, tavern fea­ turing nude dancing, found a way around a new ordinance setting limits on adult entertain­ ment. W hen the Cleveland Town Board adopted the mea­ sure, it granted exemptions for performing arts centers, civic centers and dinner theaters. At first, Lemke said he would chal­ lenge the law, b u t the thought o f paying a lawyer made him seek a cheaper solution. He changed the name o f his busi­ ness from the Prime Tim e Saloon to Teasers Exotic Dancer D inner Theater. “I’m a dinner theater,” he insisted. “I serve pizza.” • A nude dancing club in Fort Valley, Georgia, found a clever way to skirt a Peach C ounty

Convicted murderer Vincenzo Curcio escaped from high-security Vallette prison in Turin, Italy, by sawing through the bars o f his cell using dental floss. Authorities said Curcio discovered that the bars are made of ductile steel, which contains no carbon and is softer than steel or normal iron, because the prison was designed in the 1970s more to withstand terrorist attacks from outside than to prevent escapes from w ithin. Curcio took several days to saw through the bars, then tied bedsheets together, lowered him self to the ground and climbed over the jail fence, aided by the alarm system’s being out o f order.

nEWs QuiRkS

A group of women stormed a Kenyan police sta­ tion to demand officers either make love to them or close illegal drinking dens they said made their husbands impotent. T he local People newspaper said the women, from Kandara, north o f Nairobi, brought busi­ ness in the town to a halt with their day-long protest against excessive drinking by their m en­ folk. The women said the pop­ ulation of the district was falling as a result of the poor sexual performance o f the men. “O ur men have turned to veg­ etables,” one woman com ­ plained. “They leave hom e early and come back intoxicated. There is nobody to meet the sexual needs of wives.”

W eighty Matters A 51-year-old woman who was sentenced to two and a half m onths in jail for making and selling moonshine at her apart­ ment in Norrland, Sweden, appealed her sentence, arguing that she was too fat to go to jail. After the 350-pound woman explained she needs help with personal hygiene and dressing, the court let her off with a $1737 fine. • M ark Mosher was convicted o f murder, despite his attorney’s claim that he was too fat to com m it the crime. The Massachusetts Superior C ourt

BY ROLAND SW EET jury rejected the defense’s argu­ m ent that the 450-pound Mosher couldn’t have fit behind the wheel o f the pickup truck that prosecutors say the killer used to drive to the victim’s home. • Police in Englewood, Colorado, accused 350-pound Darrell Moore, 30, o f suffocat­ ing his 32-year-old wife during an argum ent by pushing her to the ground and lying or sitting on top o f her “for five to 15 m inutes.” • After Philippine police chief Panfilo Lacson announced a physical fitness campaign to reduce the num ber o f over­ weight police officers, the police chief o f Central Luzon ordered officers whose waists measure more than 34 inches to climb M ount Pinatubo once a month. “This is not going to be a pic­ nic,” warned C hief Roberto Calinisan, who said he would lead the climb. “We will be bringing food but not sum ptu­ ous meals, because it will just defeat the purpose.” • Lisa Evans, 26, threatened to file a complaint after she was fired from her job at an Edm onton, Alberta, adultentertainm ent club, where she

worked at a nude peep show “fantasy booth.” T he club’s management insisted that the firing was justified, noting that customers had complained the woman, who weighs 270 pounds, is difficult to fantasize about.

S ticky Situation A group o f Swedish cham ­ bermaids wants protection from male hotel customers who lose control of themselves after watching pornography on tele­ vision. “Chambermaids are always having to come face to face with over-excited guests watching porn movies,” said the women, members of the Swedish Hotel Workers Federation, who dem anded the maids be allowed to work in pairs and be given alarms to use in case of attacks. They added that their work has become not just dangerous, but also physi­ cally disgusting since hard-core pornography started being shown in hotels. “We have to dry off sticky television screens and clean stained sheets, as well as picking up used tissues thrown under beds,” they com ­ plained. ®

FINAL EXIT? Blake Robison has played all the parts at Vermont Stage Company — play­ wright, actor, direc­ tor, marketer, grant writer, schmoozer. Last week the 34year-old Middlebury native performed one last task for the B la k e RobiSOII theater company he founded six years ago in Burlington: He wrote himself out of the script. In June, Robison will take over as artistic director of the Clarence Brown Theater at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville — a plum job that combines academic duties with the production and presenta­ tion of a world-class theater season. Oh, and a $12 million endowment left by the late, great Hollywood director of Anna Karenina, National Velvet, The Woman o f Affairs and Intruder in the Dust. As a career opportunity, says Robison, “it was just too good to pass up.” It’s been a slow exit for Robison, who started cutting back nearly two years ago when he took over as producing director of the National Shakespeare Company in New York City. Playwright and executive director Dana Yeaton picked up some of the slack, but Robison remained the man behind the scenes, directing plays like The Last Station and Amadeus, landing an ongoing grant to fund new plays, and negotiating for a per­ manent home in the new black-box performance space at the Flynn Theatre. For the last several years, Vermont Stage has been based at Royall Tyler Theatre, thanks to a history-making deal Robison struck with the University of Vermont. It was the envy of every other local theater company in the area. As comfortable on stage as he is in the board room, Robison is a smooth operator, with a genetic predisposi­ tion to diplomacy — his father, Olin Robison, was president of Middlebury College before he took over as president of the Salzburg Seminar. Robison the younger was not going to turn down an offer “way bigger than Shakespeare,” as he puts it. “I am really thrilled that I can make this transition in my life and leave Vermont Stage in such a good place,” Robison says. Enter Vermont actor and teacher Mark Nash, who was summoned back from New York City to follow Robisons ultra-tough act. The son of sculptor Paul Aschenbach, Nash has definitely paid his local drama dues. And he is acting teacher to two members on the Vermont Stage board. “We could have done a national search,” Robison says, “but we thought it would be bet­ ter with someone from our Vermont family of artists.” In other words, the “incest” was intentional. “Mark knows every M ark Nash actor in northern Vermont. I think the local arts community should feel excited and reassured. He’s got an awareness o f where they’re coming from.” Although he won’t be directing anything until next spring, Nash will definitely be laboring for the October delivery of Midwives in the new Flynn space, a stage version of the best-selling novel by Lincoln author Chris Bohjalian. Yeaton is adapting the script, while the organization searches for a guest director to start the season off with a bang — no, make that a blood-curdling scream. Although Midwives is hardly a risky venture, Nash hopes the company can continue to be a testing ground for new scripts. “So many theater seasons are a combination o f warmed-over classics or the latest off-Broadway hits,” he says. While his predecessor runs off to join the 66-member League o f Resident Theater Companies — which includes the esteemed Guthrie and Yale Rep — Nash prom­ ises “by God, someday Vermont Stage will be 67th.” IN BRIEF: Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven is on a roll. After he signed up Kris Kristofferson to play the lead in his next movie, Disappearances, “We’re now working to...accelerate fundraising, both in Vermont and within the film industry,” he writes in a recent press release. The cash he’ll be collecting at a tribute dinner in Lake Placid for film director Milos Forman goes to a different pot, though — Craven’s new Adirondack Fledgling Films Program is an upstate adap­ tation of the movie mentor program he launched for teens in Vermont. Just in time for the Lake Placid Film Forum . . . Here’s some icebreak­ ing news: David G iancola’s latest snow-holds-barred action pic is final­ ly available in the United States, at Blockbuster Video. It’s out two months earlier than expected, but could be a hot seller for summer couch potatoes. It’s not The World Is Not Enough, or even Spellbound, but you’ll see Killington from a whole new angle — the terrorist’s. (Z)

One Vermont collector eees the big picture — and buys It, too

ou could say it all started with the mole crab. W hen Mark Waskow, then age five, found a mysterious critter in the Pelham Bay near his Bronx home, he did what any budding scientist would do: He took it to the American Museum of Natural History for identification. Everyone knew it was a crab, but the museum staff didn’t know what species it belonged to, Waskow says. Finally he found himself in the fifth-floor office of an eightysomething entomologist — the kind of classic field researcher who knew everything, Waskow recalls. The old man provided a species name, but was less intrigued by the creature than by the curi­ ous lad. “He was so taken by my interest and enthusiasm that he invited me back and told me to talk to the departm ent o f edu­ cation,” Waskow says with typical candor. “They were starting weekend workshops for young people. At the age o f seven I started teaching classes to people my age and a little older.” By the time he was a teen, he had his own office at the muse­ um. The scenario signaled at least three things about Waskow: his voracious desire for knowledge, his unflagging, enterprising pursuit o f a goal and his need to catego­ rize. But while his boyish interest in creepy crawly things and classification systems augured his eventual studies in entom olo­ gy and invertebrate zoology, it wasn’t nec­ essarily a clue that M ark Waskow would, almost four decades later, become the biggest art collector in Burlington, Vermont. Born with the collector gene, Waskow began amassing objects as a child, starting with tokens and bottles and moving on to art glass, Statue of Liberty and W orld’s Fair memorabilia and just about anything

insect-related. But the attraction to visual art began just a couple o f years ago, long after Waskow had abandoned a scheduled academic career for a far more lucrative one in insurance. T he Waskow Group, headquartered in Burlington, specializes in corporate investment strategies for tax planning and employee benefits. “In the early to m id-’90s I was em pire-building,” Wascow says. “Now my business exists to support my art collecting.” Forty-three-year-old Waskow may be known for suit-and-tie. financial transac­ tions in some quarters, but he’s got a growing rep among artists, gallery owners and other collectors as a man with a plan. Make that a vision. And that’s not just to create the largest personal collection of art­ work in the area and hopefully inspire other potential collectors to do the same. Wascow also intends to archive the con­ temporary history o f Vermont’s visual art scene, and to “put Vermont on the map as an art destination.” It’s a tall order, but someone’s got to do it. And half an hour with the indefatiga­ ble, fast-talking collector — still child-like in his enthusiasm — convinces you that if anyone could achieve all three o f those goals, it’s him. In less than two years, Wascow’s collection o f artwork, mostly by Vermont emerging artists, already num ­ bers in the hundreds — 230 pieces in the gallery, about 140 at home, and a few hundred more unframed works in a mas­ sive, 10-drawer flat file. And that was last week’s estimate. W hen Waskow likes an artist’s work, he tends to buy in multiples, causing his collection to grow by leaps and bounds, and providing quite a pleasant windfall for the artist. “W hen you buy 50 works in a week,” he says, “that’s collect­ in g ” T he only thing Waskow is reluctant to talk about is w hat all this art is worth, though after some prodding, he acknowl­ edges it may be approaching half a million


dollars. “I would steer away from a m one­ tary evaluation,” he says. “N one o f this is about money; its about being surrounded by what you like, about pleasure and doing what you w ant to do.” Waskow also doesn't want to give the impression that only the wealthy can buy art. Collecting is also about helping others, he adds, and, given his predilection for emerging artists, he’s actually able to help out quite a bit: T heir work simply doesn’t cost that m uch yet, and the relative bar­

fortunate enough to have a job that pays me to be in the art scene; Mark’s buying his way into it, as it were.” Spengemann admits that he questioned Waskow’s col­ lecting in the beginning — wondering whether it was more about the act of col­ lecting than about the actual art. He’s sub­ sequently changed his mind. “M ark speaks eloquently about Vermont artists; he knows their back­ grounds,” Spengemann notes with obvious admiration. “He talks with conviction

“If there were more Mark Waekows9 arts organizations wouldn't need to exist." — Pascal Spengemann, Firehouse Gallery gains are not lost on Waskow. Furthermore, “people remember you when you’ve helped them out early in their careers,” he notes. T hough Waskow admits he’s spent up to 10 grand on a single piece, most o f the collection consists o f smaller works by still-unknowns — in the bigger picture, anyway. For the most part, he’s averse to dropping big bucks on single works — and nam e-brand artists — because “I don’t want to com m it that much resource base to one thing. I don’t really buy into the ‘value’ system created by the gallery w orld,” Waskow adds. “I tend to think an artist’s work is best when they’re emerging — they’re at their most creative and fresh.” T hat hasn’t prevented him from becom­ ing a familiar and welcome face at local art galleries, however, around exhibits o f more established artists. “In this arts scene in particular it’s been great having someone who gets art that’s abstract, cutting-edge, not just your typical pretty scene,” remarks Stephen Doll, curator o f the Doll-Anstadt Gallery. “It’s im portant that a com m unity has someone who fills the role o f buying it. It’s very exciting for artists to have some­ one like that around, because they can go outside the boundaries, stretch a little bit and be com pensated.” Sculptor Leslie Fry agrees; she calls Waskow’s appetite for acquiring art — including several pieces o f her own — “voracious.” And she means that in a good way. “I hope M ark’s enthusiasm for buying and collecting art in Vermont inspires o th ­ ers to do the same,” she says, “and at the very least takes away any scary sacredness about appreciating art and taking it hom e.” But money isn’t all that matters to the artists, either, Waskow says. He believes simply paying attention and getting to know artists and their work provides “psy­ chic income” that’s just as valuable as the financial boost. “I spend a lot o f time with the artists and give them encouragem ent,” he says. “T he feedback provided by a col­ lector can be im portant because it can help them to crystallize their thinking as they develop.” O f course, the pleasure goes both ways: Waskow acknowledges that artists are a most interesting, creative species. “Artists spend more tim e asking questions and working them out in their lives. T hey also have a lot o f energy, and I respond to that energy,” he says. “I love watching the developmental process o f a young artist.” “M ark and I have a lot in com m on,” posits Pascal Spengemann, curator o f Burlington’s Firehouse C enter for the Visual Arts. “We’re both art groupies. I’m

about what he likes. He’s single-minded and efficient — that’s not a term you usu­ ally associate with collecting. And he goes to three times as many openings as I do.” He speculates that Waskow is “demystify­ ing” the process of collecting. And certain­ ly his “psychic” input often includes practi­ cal advice about distribution and market­ ing — something right-brain types often find overwhelming. “He doesn’t really believe in arts organi­ zations; he wants to support artists direct­ ly,” observes Spengemann. “H e’s like patrons the way they used to be. If there were more Mark Waskows, arts organiza­ tions wouldn’t need to exist.”

askow’s own “gallery” is a rented office space in downtown Burlington that is already burst­ ing with two- and three-dimensional works on the walls, displayed on antique tables or in glass-covered cases. It also includes a num ber o f his earlier obsessions, such as bug artifacts, superhero figures and popculture doodads. He will show the works by appointm ent, but not to other buyers. “I don’t collect to resell,” Waskow says adamantly. “I just like to be surrounded by art.” He also loves to give the tour, complete with as much as a visitor wants to know about each artist. Waskow reveals what he calls his “near-photographic memory” as he rattles o lf the artists’ names, histories and influences and titles of the works — just recalling their names at this point would be an achievement. The annotations along the way are telling: “I love his dark, gothic sensibilities,” he says o f New York-based Vermonter Eric Kidhardt. “I have his very first painting he ever did.” Calling New Hampshire assemblage artist Greg Brower “insanely brilliant,” Waskow notes his good sense of composi­ tion. Brower uses “discarded and post­ industrial materials,” he notes approvingly. “A lot are personal, dealing with topics he’s going through in his life.” “It’s strong work,” he says of Burlington abstract painter Tom Lawson. “A lot o f artists can’t make the leap from small to large, whereas Tom’s work holds together well. He has a lot o f obvious influences from the masters — Picasso, M iro, Kandinsky — but he’s put his own stamp on it.” It’s impossible to pin Waskow down to a favorite am ong all his works; that’s like asking him to pick the child he loves best. But he’s liberal with compliments to the

W

artists and boasts with near-paternal pride about their achievements. Waskow is clear­ ly delighted with his discoveries. T he collection also points to another — and, perhaps, previously unknown — talent of his own: packaging artwork. “I believe the presentation o f a piece is as im portant aesthetically as the piece itself,” Waskow says. “A lot o f artists don’t take the time to properly frame their work, but it really improves the work and makes it more sellable.” W hile he’s happy if an artist has made the effort, “I happen to have a knack for framing,” he states matter-offactly. Jennifer Koch can vouch for that. Proprietor of Frames for You and M ona Lisa Too in Burlington, Koch has been blessed with all Waskow’s business. “He goes in phases, but I always have some­ thing going,” she attests. “His requests are not normal, either, not run o f the mill.” It’s not uncommon for Waskow to have an idea for a frame that doesn’t really exist, Koch says, “and my challenge is to create it. It’s been fun for me because I am so intrigued with collections. He gets so excit­ ed and enthusiastic about everything he buys.” W ith his first gallery space at capacity, Waskow has just rented another one on the next floor up. His Burlington apartm ent is quite full already, and his business office has long been crammed with his collec­ tions of insurance memorabilia and other historic items. “This is a good indication of how focused I am when I’m into some­ thing,” he says.

askow’s focus, and intensity, were never in question. D uring his stint at the Natural History Museum, he was exposed not only to the vast family of invertebrates but also to New York’s rich tapestry of visual arts. His mother had been a commer­ cial artist and took her only son frequently to galleries and museums. Waskow says he inherited none o f his con­ tractor father’s skills as a “high-level handy man” — but it appears some o f that industry and resourcefulness rubbed off. Waskow went to Cornell University at age 16, on a full scholarship, and spent summers on research in the W hite M ountains — his introduction to New England. He finished college at 19, with a degree in ento­ mology and invertebrate zoology, but it was a close call: Waskow fell ill with a rare form of pneum onia just before graduation — and before his blackbelt exam in Tae Kwon Do. “I’m the only person who has survived it,” Waskow says o f the adenovirus 21. “W hen I did survive, people thought I wouldn’t be able to walk uphill. O f course, I went back to Tae Kwon Do. W hen people tell me I can’t do something, I go do it better.” Circumstances conspired to deter Waskow from a life o f studying bugs, how­ ever. For one thing, his father had passed away during his first year at college, and the death revealed that his family had no life insurance and little savings. T hen there were Waskow’s hospital expenses. A large phone bill was the last straw. About this time Waskow saw an ad that seemed to offer a way out. “It said, ‘Stop! Ask yourself what you’ll be doing in five years,”’ he recalls. “T he ad was about insurance, and I had this problem that had to do w ith lack o f insurance and planning.”

Waskow quickly figured o ut that, even at the top o f his field, he would make about $40,000 a year, and it w ould take years to get there. “So I started w hat proved to be a marvelous career in life insurance,” he says. “From 1979 to 1985 I did it. By the end o f ’81 I was the top salesman for that com pany internationally. By the end o f ’82 I was top district m an­ ager. By the end o f ’85 I was completely b u rnt o u t.” T h at’s when Waskow decided to go independent; after an initial affiliation with N ational Life, he w ent on his own in 1987. T h e career change also brought him to Vermont. T hroughout these years, Waskow collected, and his preferences evolved. “In the early ’80s I sold about 40,000 bottles and used the proceeds to get about 800 to 900 really good bottles. N ow I ’m more interested in Vermont bot­ tles and glass perfume bottles,” he says. A nd though Waskow claims he’s cut­ ting down on his non-art collecting, “cut­ ting down” is a relative term. As in, “I’ve reduced my W orld’s Fair memorabilia to only 30 or 40 categories. I used to buy hundreds o f Statue o f Liberty items a year; now it’s only 50 to 60 a year. Tastes change and get more sophisticated — or at least different,” he observes. “’I’m par­ ing down as my vision gets tighter and more refined.” Waskow says his 11 -year-old son Alexander has promised to continue the Statue o f Liberty collection, though right now he’s more interested in Pokemon, and

W

has already been-there-done-that with Star Wars and Power Rangers. So far, fouryear-old Destiny has not exhibited the col­ lecting gene. “But she can dance,” Waskow exclaims — the proud papa is reportedly no slouch on the dance floor himself. Divorced nearly three years ago, Waskow has his kids every Wednesday and every other weekend. “W hen I’m w ith them I feel like the luckiest m an in the w orld,” he gushes. A nd w hether or not they yet share his latest passion, their room at D ad’s house is filled w ith art. O ne thing W askow did pare down was his waistline: D uring his “em pire-build­ ing” years he had ballooned to 276 pounds — on a 5’9” frame, But along w ith learning about art, W askow seems to have acquired a new zeal for self-improve­ m ent — this from a man w ho already reads eight to 10 books weekly, and needs

To make matters worse, fewer than 50 percent o f O ld N orth End resi­ dents own cars and most large grocery stores are in the suburbs.

It’s the latest in a series of interim measures aimed at curbing the hunger for a downtown supermarket. The cab voucher idea was dreamed up by W anda Hines, executive director o f the C hittenden Emergency Food Shelf, and will be funded by a United Way grant through October. T he city has agreed to extend funding with taxpayer monies through April 2001. Hines says the program is gaining pop­ ularity, providing a maximum o f 50 vouchers per m onth through Chittenden

ply isn’t space available near the city’s cen­ ter. Meanwhile, the Co-op is offering a delivery service that supplies food to a buyers’ club o f residents at 230 St. Paul Street. O ther buying clubs are in the works at area senior housing projects, says Michael M onte, director o f B urlington’s C om m unity and Economic Development Office. There are also special bus runs to grocery stores at limited times, and the Special Services Transportation Agency operates a door-to-door service for the eld­ erly and people with disabilities. “I think the stores set up at the senior housing project and other buildings are good, but it doesn’t address the needs for the rest o f the population,” says Hines. “In a perfect world, it would be nice if we could open [an interim market], but in the m eantim e we need more creative ideas that will accom m odate everybody.” A ccom m odating everyone is a difficult job in a city with such wide-ranging gastronomical wants and desires. And that’s what the Co-op is slowly trying to prove it can do. Since being tapped by the city to build the dow ntow n market, board m em ­ bers and staff have been working on site designs, financing proposals and outreach to the community. M any residents are skeptical o f a long-standing “alternative” market’s ability to run a conventional supermarket with deli meats, non-organic food and pre-packaged convenience foods. “T he public hearings have been very im portant,” says C ity C ouncilor Phil Fiermonte, a Ward 3 Progressive. “I think they were a little late in getting out infor­ mation to the general public, but the fly­ ers they distributed last week described the new store well, as a place which will be open to everyone and have conventional items,” he says. “I have felt there is a

tremendous misunderstanding among people about what this store will be, and I think that’s changing.” Fiermonte, who lives in a College Street apartm ent abutting the property of the proposed market, says residents in his building were concerned about the C o­ op’s plans. Those fears were allayed last week during a series o f public hearings, at which Co-op leaders outlined their plans to deal with neighborhood traffic, light­ ing, noise and garbage. “Residents came away with a feeling that there is a willingness and openness with the Co-op to address these issues,” Fiermonte adds. M onte is also pleased with the Co-op’s outreach to date. “I think the next big step is designing w hat’s in the store, and I mean that not just in how the store is designed, but from what products will be offered. We’ll be much more involved in that discussion.” T he Co-op is currently designing the interior o f the store, roughly 15,000 square feet, says Co-op General Manager Ned Flynn. They are still making changes to the overall site plan, from traffic circu­ lation on the property to the facade of the building. At a series o f public hearings last week, many residents said the brick facade should be changed. “People seem to think there is enough brick dow ntow n,” says Flynn. O nion River’s site plan was reviewed this week by the Zoning Board of A djustm ent and, if all goes well, heads off to the Planning Commission in the com ­ ing weeks. T he Co-op hopes to break ground in September and be open by July 2001. An initial concern among critics o f the Co-op plan was its ability to garner the

necessary financing to build the store — estimated at $4.2 million. Flynn says the store’s board of directors has received five responses from area banks to the Co-op’s business plan for the venture and will begin to review those proposals soon. Also, Co-op representatives are talking with officials at the U.S. D epartm ent of Agriculture’s Rural Development Program, which will guarantee repayment up to 80 percent of bank loans for certain coopera­ tive projects. The Co-op’s plan for Burlington is reportedly being strongly considered by US DA. O nion River is also looking to its own members to finance the new store. Three weeks ago, letters were sent to current members asking them to set aside a few thousand dollars in low-interest, unse­ cured loans. “We’ve had a num ber o f posi­ tive responses so far,” says Flynn. “A lot o f

I? new location may come a new way to become a C o-op member. A com m ittee is looking at ways to make that easier, by allowing annual membership to be paid over a 10-year period, and by establishing a fund to subsidize m em ber­ ship fees that could be raised to as much as $100 a year from the current $35. T he Co-op may also revert to a patronage-refund system rather than the current model o f handing out refunds at the regis­ ter each time a person shops. A patronage system gives out lum p refund sums each year based on a num ber o f factors, includ­ ing the am ount an individual or family spends and the overall profitability o f the store. T he future o f the existing store on N orth W inooski Avenue also remains to be decided. W ith more revitalization occurring in the neighborhood, some O ld N orth End residents w ould like to keep that store open. However, it may not be economically possible. W hat remains clear is that the public hungers for som ething to sink its teeth into — not just a social mission and a good site plan. Co-op officials remain optim istic that the new store will not only quiet those stomach pangs, b ut nourish as well. “I think a lot o f that change will occur when people come into the new store,” says Flynn. “Some people’s perceptions will probably never change, but the best we can do is open a store w ith the kind of products they w ant and let them come see for themselves. This will really be a store for everybody.” ®

SEVEN DAYS

may 2 4 , 2000

By P ip V aughan-H ughes t seems almost incredible that we have left the 20th century behind. Two W orld Wars and innumerable other horrors can now be dropped into the filing cabinet o f history. In the West at least, few people under 40 have anything more than a vague notion o f w hat war means. Given our record as a species, that’s nothing short o f miraculous. But with peace and the passing of time comes the tem ptation to forget the nightmares o f the past — or worse, to romanticize them. Romance has very little place in war, at least to those whom war touches. So it’s ironic that the most universally recognized photograph — and later sculp­ ture — from W orld War II should be so disturbingly rom an­ tic: Six warriors, their feet lost in a savage tangle o f broken rock and twisted metal, strive to lift a long pole, from the end o f which the American flag is unfurling. You can almost hear the snap as the cloth straightens in the wind. Behind, below and far away, the featureless landscape ends in a sharp horizon. It was February 23, 1945, and the place was M ount Suribachi, on the tiny Pacific island o f Iwo Jima. O ne o f the six men was John Bradley, a M arine corpsman who, later in the battle for the island, won the Navy Cross for his bravery under fire. He and two other men made it off the island alive. T he other three were killed in action days after the famous photograph was taken, victims o f a campaign that caused 25,851 U.S. casualties — 7000 o f them fatal — and claimed the lives o f most o f the 22,000 Japanese defenders.

John Bradley died in 1994, and it was only then his son James found out about his father’s Navy Cross. The younger Bradley set out to learn the truth behind the immortal image. Flags o f our Fathers is plainly a labor of love, undertaken with the help o f Vermont writer Ron Powers. Bradley had known his father as the well-respected, well­ loved owner o f a funeral home in Antigo, Wisconsin — a man so reticent about his part in the flag-raising that he avoided every approach from journalists and historians. To all requests, his family knew to say that he was “unavailable, fishing in Canada.” “I don’t remember him ever articulating why he did not want to speak to the callers,” Bradley writes. “T he best he could do was to give a barely perceptible shake o f his head, as if he were dealing with a com m on incon­ venience like hay fever or near­ sightedness. It was his personal affliction.” Trying to find what lay behind this silence, Bradley talked to surviving veterans, comrades o f his father and their families. He managed to piece together a picture o f the final m om ents o f fellow flag-raisers Michael Strank, Franklin Sousley and H arlon Block: Strank, the archetypal M arine sergeant, was killed by friendly fire; Block, the Texas football star, was struck by a shell; Franklin, the farm boy from Kentucky, was shot by a sniper. T he survivors — John Bradley, Ira Hayes and Rene Gagnon — were caught up in the explosion o f public feeling that followed the photo’s publica­ tion. Bona fide heroes, they were co-opted as the stars o f the last great w ar-bond tour. Hayes, a

Hero W o r s h ip ? Pima Indian from Arizona, was undoubtedly destroyed by his fame. In 1955 He suffered a lone­ ly, squalid death from the alco­ holism that had dogged him for years. Gagnon, a mill-worker from New Hampshire, also never adjusted to his peace-time role as celebrity — a role that brought acclaim but few benefits. He also died alone, in 1979, working as a janitor. Only John Bradley was able "d continue his life unscathed — at least on the outside — by con­ structing an inviolable wall of privacy around himself. But, as his son relates in Flags o f Our Fathers., Iwo Jima left deep scars that would never really heal. “I’ve forgotten everything,” he would say. Most of all, he disdained his hero sta- — tus. “I want you to ™ always remember 1 som ething,” he would tell nine-year-old James. “The heroes of Iwo Jima are the guys who didn’t come back.” Bradley paints a fairly detailed picture ^ of all these men, but I found myself wishing he had gone deeper. His father’s vocation as a funeral-home director is touched upon, but surely deserved greater attention. You don’t have to be a literary deconstructionist to see a connection between corpsman and mortician. Flags o f Our Fathers also explores the story o f the photo­ graph itself. The supreme irony, of course, is that it captures an event that was to its subjects a non-event. T he first American flag to fly over Suribachi had been raised earlier in the day, and the flag raised by Bradley, Strank, Hayes and the others was a replacement, an afterthought. The surviving flag-raisers would always be puzzled by the fuss made over som ething that had seemed minor to them at the time. . -“ “As significant an event as going to the mailbox,” reflected Gagnon. “If only there hadn’t been a flag on that pole,” Bradley

remembers his father saying. That pole. He always called it a “pole.” “Helping Mike Strank with a pole — that’s what my father did. T he phrase ‘raising Old Glory’ was much too grand for my father and what he thought he did that day.” Flags o f Our Fathers is fasci­ nating as the story of one of the greatest images o f an imageobsessed age. As the story of a son’s search for his father, too, it is affecting. As a book about war and the concept of heroism, however, it is less successful. The Pacific Theater o f World War II seems to occupy a place in American history and culture similar to the one the First W orld

would have been improved by liberal use o f an editor’s red pen, lays it on with mawkish vigor. Describing Strank’s death, he says: “T he shell got Mike where he gave it. T he impact tore a hole in his chest and ripped out his heart.” All the com batants on Iwo are called “boys” throughout, even though four of the six flagraisers were over 20 in 1945. This gives the story a tinge of hokey sentim ent that, rather than hum anizing it, seems to under­ value the grotesque experiences and pathetic deaths of adults who were well aware of what they were going through. It is fitting that Stephen Ambrose provides a lengthy endorsement on the book’s jacket.

“ The phrase ‘raising 01R lory’ was much too grand for my father and what he nought he did that day.” ames Bradley War holds in Britain and France: a grinding conflict devoid of mercy that brutalized everyone involved. Pacific veterans are notorious­ ly reticent to share their experi­ ences, as were those who survived the trenches in 1914 to 1918. They experienced too much relentless horror, apparently, to talk m uch about it. T here’s a lot to be said for bringing the stories of these men into the limelight, for giving their deeds the recog­ nition they deserve. But, as Bradley points out again and again, the participants were and are united by one common desire: to avoid being known as heroes. So its a shame that Bradley’s great theme is to prove we must’ proclaim victims and veterans as heroes despite their.own objec­ tions. Bradley, whose writing

Ambrose brings a kind of muscu­ lar, Homeric populism to his own military histories — war as an epic of will and deed — that Bradley echoes in his own writing. Even though he closes by agreeing reluctantly with his father, that the Iwo combatants “certainly weren’t heroes,” everything else in the book disputes this. Surely the lesson we should learn from these men, living or dead, is that war creates only vic­ tims. Although presumably it is . the last thing Bradley intended, the inform ing spirit o f these pages is John Wayne in The Sands o f Iwo Jima, a movie in which John Bradley him self was a reluctant bit-part actor. In seek­ ing to breathe life into old sto­ ries, he has fallen into the rom antic trap which that flag on Suribachi baited for future gener­ ations. (7)

Four-Twenty: A Primer By Jernigan P ontiac he date was April 19. As I glided into downtown, I noticed the synchronized blinking orange-and-gold mar| quis lights o f the Flynn Theatre. m Call it “art deco,” call it “retro,” a call it “cheesy,” I dig it. The 1 Flynn — along with Nectar’s Restaurant — are as Burlington I as you can get. My attitude is, 1 long may they shine. T he Flynn lights are aglow I only on show nights, and, as I II drove by, I scanned the marquis 8 to see who was playing. The big, black block letters read, “The String Cheese Incident.” I had no idea. Idling at the taxi stand, I ® absent-m indedly noticed a proI fusion o f latter-day m hippies milling about. * Colorful, scruffy peoI pie were frolicking in City Hall Park, cam p­ ing on the sidewalks, I skipping barefoot * along M ain Street. / W e’re talking dreadlocks, long patchwork 1 skirts, Birkenstocks, I American Spirit ciga’ rettes — the whole I nine yards. In this, the p hom etown o f Phish, ® we’re certainly accus­ tomed to the presence ^ o f this segment of I youth culture. But this night, for some reason unbeknownst I to me, Burlington was m looking like W oodstock III. 8 My next fare — a couple of 1 St. M ike’s students bound for the concert — cleared up this I middle-aged cluelessness. The I String Cheese Incident, these 9 students informed me, are one | o f those rollicking, jam -happy bands so favored by the erst* while Grateful Dead gang. I Hence the downtown hippie hordes. i Sometime pre-m idnight, the I show let out. Shortly thereafter, 8 I was hailed by a group o f the | concert-goers — three guys and a young wom an. They were 1 high, and I don’t mean merely | on the good vibes o f the Cheese concert they’d just attended. | Although it’s been 20 years for I me, one never forgets the pun* gent aroma: These folks reeked | o f marijuana smoke. By way o f full journalistic I disclosure — or is it disclaimer? | — let me state that, in com m on * with many o f my baby-boomer | peers, I “experim ented.” In my

case the experiment was a resounding success: Unlike some heads o f state, I did inhale. Deeply. I passed much o f my late teenagedom in a smoky haze. I haven’t, however, touched the stuff since the Carter administration, so I’m not exactly up to speed with the customs, favored bands and general modus operandi of your present-day stoners. “Feathers,” the young woman said, leaning over the front seat to address her friend, “that was, like, the bomb! It felt like I was at a Dead show.” “N o way, Tanya,” Feathers replied. O f the four of them, this guy appeared the most stoned: Feathers was slowly list­ ing in his seat as if aboard the

^ Fo u M w e n t^

“Dude, it’s, like, a joke,” Tanya said. “It’s not funny,” he replied. “Ya got a better punch line?” I asked, not aggressively, but out of genuine curiosity. W hat, pray tell, might Feathers come up with? I did not go unreward­ ed. “Yeah,” he said. “T he dude goes, W h a t the hell happened to all my acid?”’ Now we were all laughing with raucous abandon, includ­ ing Feathers. His sheer goofi­ ness was funnier then the joke itself. If there’s really such a thing as a “contact high,” I think I caught it. At that m om ent, the church bells began the 12 tones signify­ ing midnight. “W oo-hoo!” Tanya said. “It’s April 20th — that’s fourtwenty. Tim e to party!” “Okay, that’s the sec­ ond time I heard that today,” I said. “W hat’s the deal with ‘fourtwenty?’” Feathers began chuck­ ling. “D ude,” he said. “Fourtwenty is, like, the internation­ al time for dope smoking. So, like, 4:20 in the m orning is the time to totally toke up.” “Yeah, and on April 20th, that means all day!” Tanya added. “Well, thank you, guys,” I said. “You have taught me something I did not know.” I’d like to believe I’m still in the loop, but I haven’t been since, say, 1982. It’s not as if you’re in the loop one day and out the next. Loop eviction is a slow, draw n-out affair, allowing rich opportunity for self-decep­ tion. But that night — the m em ­ orable night o f four-twenty — the fog had at long last lifted, revealing the glare o f naked truth: I am officially and defini­ tively out o f the loop. My God, I think the 12steppers are on to something: A dm itting the truth is the first step to healing. I feel better already. ®

No way you can com ­ pare it to a Dead show.” T he guy’s vehemence struck me as over the top, particularly considering he could barely keep his eyes in focus. I thought, here’s a guy who might truly appreciate the Grateful Dead joke. “Hey, m an,” I said. “W hat’d the Deadhead say when he ran out o f acid?” Feathers turned and looked at me like I was from N eptune, and speaking Neptunese. From the back, one o f his friends pitched in: “We dunno. W hat?” “Jeez, this music sucks” I said.

what it costs to keep this thing on the air. In fact, I already pay taxes for lots o f stuff I like way less.” We used to argue about “Providence,” but I’m turning into a chick, apparently, because now I actually look forward to Friday nights. Maybe my wife is stirring estrogen into my marti­ nis, I don’t know, but we both got a big kick out of the special sea­ son-ending coma double-episode. I think I might have gotten an even bigger kick than she did. You just don’t see enough comas on T V these days. We had marital difficulties over last week’s Daytime Emmy Awards presentation, though. I thought the ABC broadcast shouldn’t have spent so much time honoring soap operas, and my wife thought I should zip it so she could focus on lusting after Eric Braeden — the, like, 105year-old guy with the moustache and exotic accent who plays bil­ lionaire Victor Newman on “The Young and the Restless.” W hat kind o f goofball accent is that, anyway? I bet it’s a fake and he’s really from New Hampshire. T he annual show had its usual gaping holes. I saw, for example, awards for the programs kids watch in the morning, but none for those their parents tune into. T he weirdest thing, though, was that it gave not one but two dif­ ferent awards to “W ho Wants to Be a Millionaire?” Me: “Since when is “Millionaire” on in the

Family Feud? atching television together leads to regular raging debates, which my wife and I tend to find at least as entertaining as whatever happens to be on TV. D uring a sweeps period, though, the give and take can approach the fever pitch o f a blood sport. Take the flurry o f season finales, with its m andatory brush­ es with death and will-they-orwon’t-they love connections. Since w ere almost total opposites in terms o f the way we process the world, my wife and I had a field day this May. I’m jaded and espy the shaping hand o f show biz behind absolutely everything, so I had a hard time with, for instance, ABC’s glom m ing ratings at the expense o f Michael J. Fox’s physical deterioration. M y wife, on the other hand, is trusting and

W

without guile, so she hung on every word in the Diane Sawyer interview. In the end, the only thing we agreed on was that “Spin City” looks like a stupid show and we’re no more likely to watch the Special Farewell Episode than we were any o f the dozens which led up to it. True love. On the “Friends” front, the real cliffhanger, o f course, had nothing to do with Chandler proposing to Monica and Richard showing up at just the wrong moment. Rather, it involved the dramatic, last-minute decision between N BC and the cast to renew their vows. My wife: “$750,000 an episode each? Look how many o f them there are! That just seems wrong.” Me: “Until we have to help fund their salaries with our taxes, I don’t care

daytime?” H e ^ “Shhh. I think - > that’s V ictor ^ j j a g right b jg 0 $ d ^ Regis.” . • ... I mentioned that I didn’t notice Maury Povich or Sally Jesse Raphael picking up awards for their contributions to daytime television, or for their selfless humanitarian work, either. The wife: “D on’t start.” See, one of our biggest raging debates over the past few weeks has concerned the latest trend in seamy morning talk T V — another category they left out of the Emmys: parents sending problem kids off to Boot Camp. Like two scientific geniuses on opposite sides o f the world mak­ ing the same discovery at the same moment, the bottom -feed­ ing Povich and perennially loath­ some Raphael evidently came up with this new bar-lowering break­ through recently at more or less the same time. Viewers have been growing weary with the parade o f rubes served up on these shows, so what Povich and Raphael decided to do is take the spotlight off people with bad relationships, bad m an­ ners and bad teeth and put it instead on their bad kids. About every other day now what both shows do is round up a halfdozen or so mouthy, slutty, just all-around repellent juvenile delinquents, drug abusers and criminals, seat them on stage next to the mothers they cold-blood­ edly abuse — the fathers in gen­

eral have long since bailed t—and magically change them into - * model citizens. This is riveting TV. T he kids strut on stage dressed like little gangsta rappers and prostitutes. T he audience boos and expresses sympathy for their poor mothers. T he wayward kids, who range in age from six to 15, give the crowd the finger, tell audience members to shut their faces, and call their mothers names which must be bleeped. T hen M aury and Sally call in the troops. Like a SWAT team, uni­ formed military types swarm the set and immediately get in the kids’ faces, confronting them loudly with the error o f their ways and promising them that life as they know it is over. Because they are going to Boot Camp. They are going to scrub toilets. They are going to drop and do push-ups. They are going to have gale-force insults hollered at them at close range until their tough facades and individuality are history. Until each miniature . thug has been reduced to a quiv­ ering mass o f reformed, apolo­ getic goodness. T he process can take anywhere from a few hours to two weeks. T he shows are divided into “before” and “after” segments, so they always end with the bornagain angels taking the stage in clothes reflecting their new-andimproved outlooks.

I don’t know, but we both got a big kick out of the special season-ending j coma double-episode. earlier suddenly look like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. They hug their mothers, say they’re sorry, and promise to be good from now on. It’s a fairy-tale ending of life to be lived happily ever after, only its real life, packaged neatly into a 60-m inute slot and the fairy godm other and godfather are Raphael and Povich. Naturally, I see the whole thing as a scam, suspect the kids are put up to much of their on­ screen behavior, and doubt that the effects of TV detention last more than a week or two, if that long. Also, I’m too busy thinking about how inept these parents must be to feel bad for them. Meanwhile, my wife is appalled, but, unlike me, believes that none of this is a put-on. She thinks the kids really do see the error of

their ways and are likely to keep their promises to be good, because they’ve glimpsed the penal hell that awaits the bad. And because they fear that, if they don’t, they might get sent back to Boot Camp. Me: “In the First place, if you could save kids this way, M other Theresa w ould’ve thought of it, not M aury Povich. In the second, there aren’t even any real bad-kid camps to get sent back to. Maury and Sally’s production companies just make arrangements with m inimum-security prisons and juvenile-correction centers to shoot shows there. Once the show’s over, it’s over. It’s not like Sally’s the warden of a real kid prison and mothers can call her to send a squad car for their daughters if they start dressing

like streetwalkers again.” Her: “O h, you think every­ thing’s a scam. It doesn’t look to me like these kids are acting.” Me: “Right. Sally knows so much about what it takes to raise kids — hers committed suicide.” Her: “W hat an awful thing to say!” . Me: “Have you ever noticed Maury has two different hair col­ ors — a gray one for morning and a Grecian Formula one for night, when he does his game show?” Her: T hat’s the sound of her giving me the silent treatment for my suicide remark. It’s the price I have to pay for having deeply felt principles and scathing media insight. So anyway, the debate rages on. The May sweeps are just about over, though. Characters on TV will shortly snap out of their comas, leave all the cliffhanger stuff behind and go back to business as usual. Stay tuned for further developments on the save-the-children front. If Ricki, Jerry and Montel pick up on the Boot Camp motif, too — and do you doubt for a minute they will? — there shouldn’t be a bad kid left in the Western hemi­ sphere this time next year. Then maybe Maury and Sally will win Nobel Peace Prizes and the daytime Emmy can go to “Nightline.” ®

T he seniors, most o f them awake, remain silent until he fin­ ishes “T he O ld Buccaneer,” which — like m uch o f his reper­ toire — is a morbid tale o f lost love and grizzly deeds. W hen Abair concludes, the group bursts into applause. “T h at was a good one,” sever­ al murm ur. A resident with snowy hair and thick glasses stands up, as she does after every

poem, and shakes Abair’s hand. “Thank you, Father,” she says somberly. “You ought to be a priest.” “It’s too late for that,” jokes Abair, 49, who has already raised a family in Colchester. If Abair’s presentation is sug­ gestive of the clergy to this elder­ ly fan, perhaps it’s his emotional oratorical style — he brushes tears from his eyes whenever he reads “The M adman of The Mines” — or the religious sub­ text o f the poems.

hear him, and they have their favorites now,” she says. “O n nearly every holiday, my grandfather would write a poem about someone he worked w ith,” Abair tells the audience one recent afternoon, noting that Leddys poetry also concerned issues that marked his genera­ tion, such as Prohibition, correc­ tions and the controversy sur­ rounding w ho discovered the N orth Pole. T he Leddy clan settled in Underhill in the late 1800s after fleeing the Irish potato famine. Young George Leddy left the farm and moved to Burlington, working first in woolen mills, then selling ice cream and candy on C hurch Street, and finally working at the Strong Hardware Store, which occupied the space where Burlington’s C ourthouse Plaza now stands. His second cousin was Judge Bernard Leddy. “I wish I’d spent more time talking with my grandfather before he died in 1967,” Abair says wistfully. “T he poems have always been in the family. But sometimes art is better as it ages.” As children, Abair and his eight siblings paid little attention to their grandfather’s hobby. “We knew he wrote poetry, and now and then we’d steal a few verses when we had to write a poem for school,” he confesses. After he retires from IBM next m onth, Abair aims to share the Leddy legacy with a broader local audience. He has subm itted

a proposal for First Night, and will perform at the Ethan Allen Homestead on July 8. He will continue performing, too, for seniors, many o f whom he’s become attached to, while carving out a niche as a “balladeer” — a seemingly illogical moniker since there is no music in his act. “I call myself a balladeer because these poems are much more lyrical than poems you hear today,” offers Abair, who has little adm iration for modern poets “who just read their work off the page.” Memorization, he insists, is the key to poetry. “You have to

memorize when you put your mind to it,” notes one Starr Farm listener, “especially when you’re young.” “Do you write poetry?” asks another senior. “I dabble,” Abair admits, “but nothing as good as these.” Creativity, though, runs in the Abair family. H e sculpts and plays piano and guitar; brothers Phil and David are popular local musicians, often performing together as The Abair Brothers Band; and sister Carol was a finalist in the competition for Vermont’s official state song.

“We were very careful in say­ ing,” replied the general, “Corey LaTulippe told the truth about the so-called ‘Big Night.’ We did not buy hook, line and sinker other aspects of Corey’s state­ ments about the use of a credit card, about the use of a fake ID in a bar. In terms of what went on that night, the October 2 ini­ tiation night, yeah, I think there were a number of crimes commit­ ted and I stand by that.” In fact, two upperclassmen have been charged with furnish­ ing booze to minors. But should LaTulippe, with his tarnished image of sweet young innocence, be prosecuted for perjury? “We would not make that decision,” answered Sorrell, “since we were the ones asking the ques­ tions. That issue would be turned over to the Chittenden County State’s Attorney’s office,” he told us. Mr. Sorrell said he’d he “sur­ prised if a prosecution for perjury , came out given the situation and the issues he allegedly lied about.” State’s Attorney Lauren Bowerman told Seven Days Tuesday she was awaiting the reception of the transcript of LaTulippe’s sworn deposition. Until she has the opportunity to read it, she said, she won’t com­ ment on the matter. The Pollina Law — Hey, c’mon, let’s call it what it is. The new Vermont campaign finance law caps cash contributions, out-of state contributions and limits campaign spending, too. ;M When the law was still just a hill taking shape under Montpeculiar’s golden dome, it was but a gleam in the eye of his biggest lobbyist/supporter — Anthony Pollina of VPIRG. And now that’s it’s a law, who’s the first to nuzzle up to the trough of public financing? Anthony Pollina, Progressive Party candidate for governor! Tony the Prog is on track to meet the requirement of raising $35,000 from 1500 contributors, with no contributions over $50. He’ll then qualify for $265,000 in public financing to run a slambang campaign with all the bells and whistles the Republicans and Democrats use — like lots of quality propaganda in the form of slick television commercials. But Tony the Prog says his 2000 race for governor was not the reason for the gleam in his eye at the Statehouse last year. Pollyanna insisted that he did not decide to run for governor until this February. O f course, if there wasn’t such a law in place, Pollyanna conceded, he would have chosen to remain on the sidelines. “I’m very proud of the role that I played in passing the strongest campaign finance law in the country to get Big Money out of Vermont elections,” replied Pollyanna. “And I’m just as proud now to be involved in a campaign for. governor which is going to replace that Big Money with peo­ ple and grassroots organizing... I’m very proud of the role I played in passing the law and I’m proud of the role that I’m playing


in moving it forward.” Okay, okay, he’s proud. Soon he’ll be rich. But will you vote for him? L’il Sleazy Testifies — The cam­ paign finance trial in federal court has featured a veritable who’s who of Vermont politicos. But among our favorite witnesses was Steve Howard of Rutland, a former state rep, Democratic Party chair­ man and tarnished boy wonder. L’il Stevie Blunder is a political consultant these days and he testi­ fied for the Republican Party, which wants the new law over­ turned. Under oath, L’il Stevie said his political star fell after he came out of the closet. He sug­ gested the Vermont press turned on him because of his sexual pref­ erence. “Often the media focused on the fact I was gay,” testified Howard. “I could speak on 12 issues, but the thing they reported was that I was a gay candidate.” Horse feathers! First of all, L’il Sleazy Howard s political star sunk soon after he got-caught offering his primary opponent, Deb Markowitz, a political bribe to drop out of the secretary of state’s race. Steve promised her the number-two job upon his most assured victory. Second, it was L’il Sleazy him­ self who made a big deal about his coming out. The Statehouse press corps already knew his sexu­ al preference and, frankly, didn’t give a damn. State Sen. Cheryl Rivers, a witness for the state, has a hard time stomaching L'il Sleazy’s spin. “He voted for the campaign finance bill,” noted Rivers, “while saying (on the witness stand) it trampled on the Constitution. I describe that as a bizarre statement, since we take an oath of office that says we won’t vote for anything that tram­ ples on the Constitution.” Yeah, but the rules don’t apply to L’il Stevie, do they? Hail! King Anus! — The color picture at the top of the Vermont section in last Thursday’s Burlington Free Press has been quite the talk around these parts. “OUR ANUS GOVERNOR TRADED COWS FOR QUEERS,” read the sign proudly painted by Joe King of Huntington. He was referring to the new civil-unions law. W hen asked about it Tuesday, Ho-Ho replied, “I regret that the tone of civility is not able to be maintained in this debate. Folks do have a right to their opinions and they have a right to say them in whatever terms they want. I’d prefer that my kids didn’t see that sign on the front page of the sec­ ond section of the Free Press, but they did, and a lot of other peo­ ple’s kids did, too. That’s a matter for the editor of the Free Press and the person who puts up the sign to decide whether that kind of stuff deserves that kind of publici­

RUSTIC OVERTONES DISPATCH

cal chairs this week is the departure of three members from the large acid-jazzy family that is viperHouse. Vocalist Heloise Williams, trumpeter Brian Boyce and percussionist P.J. Davidian are departing, each for different rea­ sons, but all surely the result of the band’s incessant — and financially draining — touring over the past year or so. Williams decided the size of the band was no longer the right fit for her, explains viper Manager NiCOle SaltUS. “She wants to do some other musical projects but will take some time to figure it out.” For his part, Boyce is leaving to teach music at Cabot High School, which he had been doing, but found “teaching plus touring too stressful and strenu­ ous,” Saltus says, adding that Davidian, the youngest member, is going after a better-paying day job and will also continue other musi­ cal projects. “We sort of knew about Heloise and Brian for a while, then P.J. said he was leaving,” says Saltus, “so we just decided to have everyone leave at once so we could make the big change.” Without a lead vocalist, that change will leave room for “more improvisation and experi­

mentation,” Saltus explains. Under the seasoned direction of saxophon­ ist Michael Chorney, the remain­ ing six members have already begun to rehearse music in new directions. The band plays its last nine-mem­ ber show June 10 at Higher Ground, and introduces the septet — with new tenor sax man Zack Tennyson — June 15, at the Mad Mountain Tavern in Waitsfield.

SPINNING OUT THE NON-HITS Mitch Cantor must believe good things come in threes — or fours. Owner of the little local label Gadfly Records, he always seems to release several new CDs at a time, and the latest offering is no excep­ tion. Try Love is a collection of 14 tunes by songwriter Julie Gold, whose career as a songwriter took off after penning Bette Midler’s Grammy-winning “From a Distance” in 1990. Tjalkuri is the eponymous release of Australian pop-rocker Broughton Mitchell, who got his other moniker — and some of his musical influences — from the aboriginal tribe he lived with for some time. And Odd Fellows comes from The Spongetones, North Carolina’s appealing power popsters with dis­ tinct Liverpool influences. Once

get back to you on the mp3 ripoff, but unfortunately there’s not a lot of progress to report. Regular readers will recall a few weeks back that several Burlington bands — including Non Compos Mentis, Never Again and Chin Ho! — had discovered themselves appropriated on mp3.com. That is, someone had altered their band and CD names, even fabricated band bios, influences and favorite other artists, and presented them on pages within the music Web site. In the case of NCM, fake CDs were actually being sold, with a different title but using the band’s real logo and similar CD art. NCM frontman has the proof: He bought one. Matt Roy, guitarist for NCM and Drowningman, actually tracked down the guy — or girl — who did it at an e-mail address (sykoaffect@cs.com), but the perp “claimed someone had hacked into his account, and made it seem like it was someone else,” Roy says. He didn’t buy it, but there wasn’t much he could do, and CompuServe didn’t respond to requests for their e-mail client’s identity. “All the bands getting ripped off were on this one guy’s station,” Roy adds. On mp3, any­ one can create their own “station” — a sort of personal jukebox — with the music they like. Roy notes further that the names and

Band name of the w e e k :

titles the person created — e.g., Tides of Darkness, Warcraft — are from role-playing games, sug­ gesting an adolescent boy. Though mp3 personnel removed the fake pages after receiving complaints from Burlington bands, they have done nothing else. “I don’t think anyone at mp3 cares,” says Roy. “You can stop this person selling, but mp3 gets 50 percent, so where’s our money?”

SINGLE TRACKS Speaking of Drowningman — that’s a photo of frontman Simon Brody on the brand-new 242 Main home page, shot by 19-year-old photog Veronique Ouellette. Designed by Jim Lockridge of Big Heavy World, the Web site is courtesy of Together Networks. Check it out at homepages, together.net/-club242 . . . Chin Ho! has licensed “(I Wish I was a) Girl” for use during the XGames 2000 on ESPN, airing this August and September from San Francisco . . . St. Albans singersongwriter Kate Barclay has another licensing deal, too: Songs from her Sunshine From Mars have been signed up by the media com­ pany Oxygen Media — co-owned by Oprah Winfrey — for use somewhere on the 24-hour cable network. Oxygen also owns Internet sites catering to women (oxygen.com) . . . Finally, the State Song, “These Green Mountains,” penned by Plainfield native Diane Martin, has been safely signed into existence and christened, with a performance by the students ofTwinfield Union School. ®

SEVEN DAYS

Records) — W ith the advent of jazz-rock fusion in the 1970s came much discussion about what jazz was or was not. The period in question, roughly from Miles Davis’ experiments on Bitches Brew in 1968 to the coming o f Wynton Marsalis in the early 1980s, was one in which jazz players incorporated rock rhythms and electric instruments into the genre, continuing to improvise as they always had. The arrival of Marsalis on the scene marked a new acoustic era in jazz, or, as some might see it, a step backward. Marsalis has since gone on to become an ardent spokesperson for neo-traditionalism, dismissing the fusion years as a wrong turn toward popular music, and attempting to define jazz for the masses from his respected position as head of jazz at Lincoln Center. The music of Jamie Masefield’s Jazz Mandolin Project has the potential to rekindle the flames of this jazz/not jazz discourse. With the release o f Xenoblast, the hybrid power trio that was born in Burlington has hit new heights o f improvisational sophistication, although its instrumentation and its approach are way out­ side o f what Wynton Marsalis calls “the tradi­ tion.” The mandolin, though strong on percus­ sive attack, is a low-volume instrument — or at least it was until Masefield amped it up over the top o f bass and drums in large venues. It is also a tightly strung instrument, which limits its ability to sustain or reverberate. Making the most o f these inherent limitations, Masefield’s playing relies heavily on rhythm, though his melodic and harmonic statements are consider­ ably more sophisticated than those of the so-

called jam band milieu from which JMP emerged seven years ago. He also takes an electric approach to the acoustic instrument, even incorporating electronic sound effects. Much of the material on Xenoblast has an underlying rock groove laid down by the fiery drumming of Ari Hoenig and straight-ahead bass work of Chris Dahlgren, though calling it rock music would trivialize it. The band recently signed with the premier jazz label Blue Note, and the word Jazz is, after all, one third of their name. So are they playing jazz? Listeners can decide for themselves when JMP open up the Discover Jazz Festival next month — June 6 at the Flynn Theatre. — Richard Mayer

ranges from songs by Eric Anderson, Stan Rogers and Si Kahn to a Georgia Sea Islands hymn about the Titanic to lyrics by Rudyard Kipling set to an original melody, but one is left with the distinct impression that this is a home­ grown Vermont production. The meat-andpotatoes of the disc are songs you might hear around a fireplace some winter night, deep in the wilds of rural Rutland County. The music was mainly recorded at Horace Williams’ Little Castle Studios in Starksboro. Little Castle is justly noted as one of the best studios in the state for acoustic production, because of Williams’ affinity for folk music and his will­ ingness to let the musicians call the shots with a minimum of artistic interference. One thing that comes across immediately is that Woodchucks’ Revenge love their music. This is a band that doesn’t just learn someone else’s material and rehash it. The research and care the trio has applied to Fill One Room are evi­ dent in “The Song of the Vermonters,” a W hittier poem set to music by the band. Every song, though, is performed with affection and attention to detail. Peter Cady provides lead vocals on some of the most memorable cuts, WOODCHUCKS’ REVENGE, FILL O N E ROOM including “Brisbane Ladies” and “The Sack of (self-released, CD) — Woodchucks’ Revenge is the Gods” — the Kipling poem.

“The history of the world is but the biography of great men,” noted writer Thomas Carlyle. But the quieter voices may tell a different story. Vermont Voices is a volume of primary sources that cover 400 years of state his­ tory, all the way back to 1609. Included are the words of pioneer settlers, Abenaki Indians, Green Mountain Boys and suffragettes. Editors Samuel Hand and Gene Sessions are likely to pipe up, too, at a reading and discussion.

Death may be a requisite part of life, but that doesn’t make it any easier to explain to children. A good theater piece can break the bad news to them — gently. In The Arkansaw Bear, a young girl refuses to accept the impending death of her ailing grand­ father. To deal with it, she enters a fantasy world where a cast of circus characters teach her how to celebrate life, rather than fear death. The Theatre Factory production is geared for families. Friday, May 26, 7 p. m. Saturday, May 27, 2 & 7 p. m. Sunday, May 28, 2 p. m. Mann Hall Auditorium, Trinity College, Burlington. $5Info, 865-7672.

Andrews introduces residents to scaly sights and sounds with slides and an outdoor training session. Saturday, May 27. Vermont Leadership Center, E. Charleston, 10:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. $5.

scape. T he steel-sparred struc­ ture stands astride a low hori­ zon, which divides a wide yel­ low sky from the somber earth. The ground is a long band of gray on top of black. Bright red under-painting is visible beneath the gray, and red appears again in the tower as a bright crimson accent. M urrow’s colors are sep­ arated like a Japanese woodcut. O ther landscapes, such as “California,” have well-blended colors — alizarin crimson, Payne’s gray, olivine greens made from ocher rather than lighter yellows. Divergent lines race into the horizon o f these narrow horizontal pieces. Brushwork is often contrasted by lines of pencil.

hile quantity has a quality all its own, Burlington artist Ethan Murrow provides both at the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts this month. There are almost no weak spots among the 43 paintings, five drawings, eight prints and a large installa­ tion, “The Extended Family of Chemicals” — all of which were created since late 1999. Murrow’s unifying theme is the complex relationship between Americans and their environment. A limited range of colors tie together the assorted media in a sort of barren Impressionism, with simple images and muted tonali­ ties. Agribusiness archi­ tecture, rural power lines and highways dot recum­ bent landscapes under yellow and gray-blue skies, while Murrow nim ­ bly varies the textures, intensities and values of his paintings with supreme confidence. His drawings o£gallon cans and other containers for household hazardous materials are no less tech­ nically strong.

This high-tension tower also seems more an architectural por­ trait than an abstracted land­

pastel, smudged and layered on the toothy paper. There is also dashed-off light blue lettering, and arrows pointing up at the containers. M urrow seems to have devised a personal code, like an engineer’s shorthand, o f automatic writing and occasion­ al stencils.

M urrow has created a room w ithin the room, with black walls on either end and an expanse o f m ottled white in the middle. Daylight from the gallery window seeps through the white sheets, and each o f the cans is roughly painted with the same matte colors that echo through the exhibit. M any of the cans are ripped or peppered with holes, and many have seemingly random letters sten­ ciled on their sides. W h at’s not random is the quart can on the far left — the only one w ith a dollar sign sten­ ciled onto it. Reading left to right as we generally do, this placement seems to indicate that money is where environ- * mental trouble begins. Maybe that’s why so many Burlington artists get their paint for free from the hazardous-waste depot on Pine Street. M urrow is prob­ ably not one o f them , however. His paint quality is just too good to have come from the dum p. ®

TOM GREEN’S SCHOOLDAYS The Mtv star plays an undergrad geek. ROAD TRIP***"2 The word I’ve heard used to describe this Film most often, I think, is “uneven.” Next often: “grossout.” The movie comparison I’ve seen made most often? We have a tie between Animal House and There’s Something About Mary. All of which are rea­ sons why you shouldn’t believe everything you read. Except in this column, of course. Because Road Trip is a good-hearted, goofball ride from start to finish, isn’t any grosser than the average Adam Sandler, David Spade or Norm MacDonald comedy, and bears about as much similarity to the movies mentioned above as it does to The Bad News Bears or Dr. Strangelove. Breckin Meyer stars. He’s a talented young actor, but I can’t help wondering: Am I the only one who thinks he looks and sounds exactly like what Noah Wylie would look and sound like after an Acme safe had been dropped on him? Meyer plays the new-millennium model of a prototypical college dude. He’s academically challenged, but hardly a Neanderthal. He’s strongly drawn to the opposite sex, but it’s not like he and his friends are about to drill peep holes in the girl’s shower. And he enjoys the occasional kegger or joint, but isn’t about to major in them. Meyer and his buddies, played by Seann William Scott (who looks like a young Jim Carrey), Paulo Costanzo (who looks like a young Jerry Seinfeld) and D.J. Qualls (who looks like a cross between a young Jim Varney and a baby condor) are breezy, easy-going descendents of the toga-wearing, taboo-obliterating pioneers played nearly a quarter-century ago by John Belushi, Tim Matheson and Peter Riegert in Animal House (coincidentally produced by Ivan Reitman, who produced this, too). These are guys who’ve grown up

never having to fight for their right to party because their slobbering, beer-addled forefathers secured that freedom for them a generation ago. So, when a video of Meyer having sex with a girl he just met (Amy Smart) is accidentally mailed to his lifelong sweetheart, the mad cross-country dash to intercept it is less about chugging, puking and making fun of the locals than about taking an unscheduled spring break to make sure someone’s feelings don’t get hurt. T hat’s right. I’m saying there’s an essential wellmeaning, kindhearted quality at the core of this film, and that by itself is enough to set it apart from the hundreds of lesser Animal House and Porky’s clones. Meyer and company don’t have to make fun of someone to be funny. They generate humor as opposed to perpetrating it, if you know what I mean. Anyway, kooky stuff ensues on the way to Austin, naturally. It’s the law. This is a road movie. Things explode, crimes are committed, and a very old man shuffles around a very old house behind a very large erection. Each situation is zanier and more surreal than the one before it and, throughout, director Todd Phillips gives equal time to the relationships between the traveling companions. It’s not every teen comedy in which characters actually wind up better people by the end of the film, but, in an understated, nevercornball way, they somehow manage to do that here. I appreciated in particular the growth curve allowed the character played by Qualls. At the start of the adventure, he’s the nerd the others let come along for the ride because he’s the only one who owns a ride — a car his father bought him. By the time the-four reach Austin, he’s a new man. \Cho needs a new car? Which brings us to Tom Green, Mtv personality and postmodern geek. He’s not a part of the saga itself, but rather plays, a perennial Ithaca undergrade who conducts tours of the campus for prospective applicants and their families. One particular tour, in which he recounts the legendary adventure of his friends’ Austin trip, frames the film and includes the much-buzzed-about scene in which the comedian supposedly devours a small rodent. I feel it my duty as a film critic to correct the impression you’ve probably been given on this point. If you are thinking of buying a ticket to this movie primarily because you believe you’ll see Tom Green eat a live mouse, there are two things you should know: 1. He doesn’t actually eat it, he just puts it in his mouth. 2. T hat’s not why you go to a movie, any­ way. T hat’s why you go to an Ozzie Osborne concert. Green is quasi-humorous, though hardly the dri­ ving comic force behind Road Trip. The good news is, even if he doesn’t contribute a whole lot here that you haven’t seen him do on his show already, in the end neither the madcap refugee from Mtv nor this unex­ pectedly endearing motion picture bites. ®

It’s just as well; he’s going to need all the strength he can get to transform Vermont — better known for cows than contem po­ rary art — into an “arts destina• » tion.

eople don’t come to Vermont with the W expectation o f a cultur­ al experience,” Waskow laments. H e’d like to change that. Artist Michael O atm an, a Vermonter who now teaches at RPI in Troy and the University at Albany, says that Waskow “is interested in creating this corridor between Vermont and New York and parts in between — I’m taking him to three or four studios around here o f artists I think are good. In a strange way,” O atm an continues, “it seems like M ark is creating the infrastructure” for an arts market in Vermont. In addition to his art visits in the Green M ountains, Waskow makes the round o f galleries at least once a m onth in New York City, as well as frequent trips to other galleries and studios around New England. It was Burlington art dealer and former gallery owner Pat Parsons who, early on, encouraged Waskow to go to New York to inform his taste. “I’m not trying to be elitist about New York, he just has to hone his eye,” she says, “so when he’s judging other pieces he’ll have a set o f standards to go by.” Parsons believes Waskow “really wants to focus on Vermont and basically become a dealer on some level, or a m id­ dle-man. H e wants to get Vermont out there, which is fab­ ulous, but it’s a tough world. N o one is going to say, ‘O h, a great Vermont artist,’ b ut just ‘O h, a great artist.’” For his part, Waskow says, his trips to New York have only con­ firmed for him that “Vermont artists stack up well” and deserve to be marketed and collected. “M y secret goal,” he confides, “is to create one big art and antiques arcade o ut o f C hurch Street.” “O ne o f the things that makes M ark so unusual is to have that kind o f collector in this com m unity,” says Janie Cohen, curator and assistant director o f the Fleming M useum. “In small­ er markets people tend to do smaller collections, and to focus

applauds the near-simultaneous emergence o f Firehouse, DollAnstadt and the Rhombus Gallery — o f which he’s the board chair — the M en’s Room Artspace and other exhibition venues around Burlington, as well as the South End Art H op and the First Friday Art Trolley, as events that help make art more o f a “scene.” And he’s keeping track ol it all: Waskow’s mania for collect­ ing includes a growing archive of Vermont’s contem porary visual arts history. He saves, for instance, the art listings and reviews from this paper every week, along with any other arti­ cle about art he can find. He has tracked down past show announcem ents from galleries around the state and is now working on reassembling the art history of the ’80s, before gal­ leries like Passepartout in W inooski and W ebb & Parsons in Burlington disappeared, leav­ ing a brief lull in exhibition activity. “If I have my way, Vermont will become an art destination, then they’ll ask, ‘So how did this start?’” Waskow speculates. “O r someone will become famous and they’ll ask about their back­ ground. And no one will know, so I ’m trying to create a central repository o f all the institutions, exhibit cards and reviews.” “For me that’s one o f the most novel aspects o f what he’s doing,” O atm an says of Waskow’s archives. “M ark is also unusual in that he wants to know everything about the artist. H e has an incredible visual m em­ ory — he’s a detail guy. It’s an interesting connection to his background as an invertebrate zoologist — he’s got a genealogy o f the works in his collection.” “M ark sees this as a particu­ larly vibrant time in the visual arts in V erm ont,” comments M arc Awodey, an artist, poet and art critic for Seven Days. “By see­ ing this with such an innocent eye he is also making it happen. He introduces many artists to others whom they’ve never heard of, and by his collecting and stu­ dio visits he is pollinating the garden like a bee am ong flowers. H e’d like that bug analogy.” ®

Dear Tom and Ray: For the past month, I have been trying to get a certain m uf­ fler company to p u t a quiet m uf­ fler on my car. I originally brought the car into the shop because o f an incessant rattle. I was informed that the problem was a hole in the original m uf­ fler. After the mechanic replaced the muffler, I drove the car home. But it was so loud, I brought it back to the shop the next morn­ ing. He told me not to worry. He said the new muffler has to “car­ bon up” before it can be quiet. I askea him to come fo r a ride. He d id and agreed that it sounded like a “motorboat, ” much too noisy fo r a 1993 feep Grand Cherokee. So he p u t in another muffler, a n d guess what? I t’s louder than the last one! He again told me that the muffler needs to “carbon up, ”ana he asked me to drive it fo r a month and then come back. Time’s up. The muffler’s loud, a n d I ’m not happy. W hat do you say? — Len T O M : I’ve got to make a note o f that one. ... “Muffler has to carbon up’ to get quiet.” I’m

going to try that on my cus­ tomers! T h a t’s very inventive! RAY: He was hoping that in that span o f one m onth, one of several things would happen: A. You’d get used to the noise; B. You’d experience significant hearing loss and cease to be bothered by it; or C. You’d be abducted by space aliens. O r maybe all three. But he lost, so it’s time for him to fix this for you. T O M : There are two possibili­ ties. O ne is that, when chang­ ing the muffler, he accidentally created a hole somewhere else in the exhaust system. T h a t’s easy to test. All he has to do is plug up the end o f the tailpipe with a rag. If there’s no exhaust leak, the car will stall within seconds. If there is a leak, the car will keep running and get louder, helping him pinpoint the leak. RAY: But the more likely possi­ bility is that the aftermarket mufflers he uses don’t have the same baffling as the original factory mufflers. We often have this problem w ith Jeeps in par­ ticular. And the remedy, in this case, is to buy a factory muffler from the Jeep dealer. T O M : This guy can put it in for you. You can even bring him the part. But he should give you your money back for the first muffler and put an

Dear Tom and Ray: I own a 1990 Toyota Corolla with a manual transmission. The parking-brake light on the dash­ board has started to come on. This is fin e when I have the parking brake on, but now it happens when I am driving, too. It seems to come on when I depress the regular brake pedal — f or instance, when I ’m slow­ ing down fo r a stop sign. Do you know what’s causing this? — Steven T O M : Yes. You’re low on brake fluid, Steven. RAY: T he “brake” light on the dashboard usually serves two purposes. O ne is to remind you that the parking brake is applied, so you don’t drive to your m other-in-law’s house in D ubuque with the rear brakes smoking. T O M : But the light also comes on when your brake fluid is low. T he fluid can be low because you have a leak. O r because your brake pads are worn out. RAY: M ost likely, the pads have worn out. W hen that happens, the space where the “padding” used to be gets filled by more brake fluid. T hat lowers the fluid in the reservoir and trips the “brake” light. Your pads

V erm o n t

G id e s h a r e

might be right on the hairy edge now, which is why the light is only coming on inter­ mittently. Eventually, though — as the pads get worse — the light will stay on all the time. T O M : But there is a chance that you have a brake-fluid leak. And if you lose enough of your brake fluid, you w on’t be able to stop at all. T h at would be bad, Steven. Ask anyone in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. RAY: So if you’re not dead by the time you read this, please take it in and get it checked out right away. Dear Tom and Ray: M y wife wants to buy a new vehicle, a Toyota Tacoma. I heard many years ago that driving short distances wasn’t good fo r the engine. M y wife works ju st oneand-a-half blocks from our home, and she always drives to work. W ill it harm the engine to drive that short a distance every day? The only alternative I can come up with is that we alternate vehicles every other week. Any comments or suggestions? — Steve RAY: Well, my first com m ent is “wow.” A nd I thought my brother was lazy! T O M : And my suggestion is that you get her a good pair o f walking shoes and give her a map to the sidewalk. RAY: You’re absolutely correct about short trips, Steve. W henever the engine is ru n ­ ning, it’s producing moisture. And when you drive only a

block and a h a lf— or a mile and a half, for that m atter — the engine doesn’t get hot enough to expel that moisture through the crankcase ventila­ tion system. A nd when the m oisture lingers like that, it leads to prem ature engine fail­ ure. A nd the same thing hap­ pens in the exhaust system. T O M : Assuming she’s not dis­ abled, walking to w ork is the answer. She’ll be healthier. She’ll lower her blood pressure, decrease her risk o f heart dis­ ease, feel better and maybe even get to know her neighbors if she walked. RAY: Plus, her car will be healthier, and she won’t need a new muffler every three m onths. T O M : A nd if she walks, you m ight not even need the new car. A nd maybe there’s some­ thing else you guys would like to do w ith that $300-$400 a m onth — after buying her an umbrella and some walking shoes. RAY: Seriously, Steve, you could swap cars w ith her every other day or every other week — that w ould help — but walking is the obyious answer here. Even two knucklehead car colum nists can see that.

But they say Crick and Watson, who discovered the structure o f D NA, found daily inspiration at the pubs, and IVe done some o f my best work there myself, though my breakthrough, instead o f the double helix, was

to discover that Stroh’s spelled backwards is “shorts.” Now then. I’m not a big drinker of Guinness, which always seemed to me like something you’d pour on pan­ cakes. But this is the Straight Dope, goddammit. Since I didn’t care to be seen strolling into a gin mill at nine in the morning, I went down to the supermarket and bought myself a bottle of Guinness Stout. W ent home, got a genuine tapered pub-style beer glass given to me by my brother-in-laws English wife. (I recognize that Guinness is made in Dublin — but England, Ireland, it’s all the same, ain’t it?) Poured said stout into said glass. Intensively scoped the bubbles. Noticed that they floated up. Thought, cripes, this Manuel has gotta lay o ff the sauce. But just to be sure, I went on-line and searched for “Guinness Stout” and “bubbles” and “down.” Un-frigging-believable. N ot only do the bubbles float downward under certain conditions, but people have devoted, well, maybe not their lives, but a good two or three days to fig­ uring out why. And not in vain, either. But I’m getting ahead of my story. From my on-line reading I learned that the secret of Guinness’ creamy “mouthfeel,” as the taste experts some­ what indelicately put it, is a mix o f nitrogen and carbon dioxide rather than pure CC> 2 as the bubblizing ingredi­ ent. Nitrogen bubbles are much smaller than C O 2 bub­ bles, a mere 50 microns in diameter, and produce a nice, smooth head. But nitrogen doesn’t produce bubbles as spontaneously as C O 2 . At the corner tap they deal with this by using a special nozzle that aerates the stout with nitrogen as it’s poured. In packaged goods that’s not pos­ sible, so for a long time they were stuck with pure carbon dioxide. But science marches on. Using brain cells that might have cured cancer or solved the third-world debt crisis (but we’ve all got our priorities), a couple engineering types invented a little plastic device, known in brewing circles as a “widget,” that’s placed in each can o f Guinness Draught. (See patent info at www.ivo.se/guinness/patent.html.) When you pop the top and pour, the pres­ sure in the can drops to ambient, stout squirts out o f the

widget, and nitrogen is liberated from solution and aer­ ates the exiting beverage. Result: nitrogen microbubbles galore, same as if M urphy the barkeep did the pouring. I hustled back to the supermarket, grabbed a fourpack of the tall black cans and gave them a shake. Something inside rattled — a good sign. Took ’em home, stuck ’em in the fridge for the prescribed three hours, then popped one and poured. This was accompanied by a satisfying whoosh and — I tell you, it’s a fascinating thing to watch — cascades of tiny bubbles, sliding down the inside o f the glass. All right, now for the part where I actually answer the question. Tiny or not, nitrogen bubbles ought to have more buoyancy than the surrounding liquid. W hy don’t they? I consulted Clive Fletcher, professor o f computa­ tional fluid dynamics at the University o f New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Fletcher, a disciple o f the Crick and Watson school o f liquid research, was wondering one day why the bubbles went down. A chemist friend tried to explain the phenomenon in chemical terms (one of these “if all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like nails” kind o f guys). Bah, thought Fletcher. Using compu­ tational fluid-dynamics software from Fluent Inc., soft­ ware that essentially models the activity o f the bubbles in the glass, Fletcher found that what occurs is similar to convection — the bubbles rise in the center o f the glass, where you can’t see them because o f the stout’s opacity, then heel over and skitter down the sides, their buoyancy overcome by the viscous drag o f the roiling brew. (See illustration at www.fluent.com/news/pressrel/guinness/tsldOOl.htm.) Simplicity itself, really. To further extend the frontiers o f knowledge, Professor Fletcher says he’s thinking about trying to “per­ suade Moet & Chandon to fund some cross-industry research, with plenty o f field trials.” Sounds like a worthy goal to me. Naturally, professor, you’ll need a second test site north o f the equator, so as to control for the Coriolis effect. Let me know if I can be o f help.

A R IE S

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Your oracle came to me as I waited for a flight at the San Francisco Airport. All morning I’d pondered what to tell you about your immi­ nent future. Despite promising inklings, I’d not yet found the key. Maybe it was because every time I edged towards a definitive vision, I suffered a sneezing fit; my allergies were on the warpath. Minutes before boarding my flight, my head aswim with prayers that I be given a sign, I went to the restroom to gather tissue for my poor nose. There I finally got my breakthrough. Scrawled on a changing table designed for fathers carrying babies, in the florid style of graffiti-writers everywhere, was a shocking message: Real men change diapers. I knew instantly what you Aries folks needed to hear most in order to succeed in the coming week: Be a forceful caretaker; nurture oth­ ers with aggressive aplomb; express profound sensitivity and receptivity with virile heartiness.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Dear Dr. Brezsny: I have somehow gotten myself into the absurd situa­ tion of having to decide between doing the right thing and doing the good thing. If I press hard for truth and justice, I’ll turn out looking like a rude boor. And if I opt instead for kindness and sympathy, I’ll appear to be an eager-to-please flake with wob­ bly principles. Why is having integri­ ty such a bitch? —Tormented Taurus. Dear Tormented: I suggest you lose the all-or-nothing shtick. Be willing to be half-right and half­ good. Then integrity might be a bitch, but at least it’ll be a sexy bitch.

G E M IN I

(May 21-June 20): I predict you’ll have a very symbiotic relationship with the planet Mars for the next few weeks. During this time you should be able to tap into its

Story, the cosmos would like you to summon unprecedented reserves of courage and resourcefulness.

CAN CER

(June 21-July 22): Studies show it’s normal for healthy people to be depressed 6.9 percent of the time. Guess which 6.9 percent of your life cycle you’re likely to be flirt­ ing with in the next couple weeks, Cancerian? As long as you’ve got to hang out here, you might as well milk it for all it’s worth. For starters, don’t even think about hiding your feelings. Try to cry at least twice a day, preferably in front of people who’ll thereby be shocked into giving you anything you want. Sing melan­ choly songs with your car window open, hoping to catch the attention of a bandleader who’s looking for a back-up singer. And always slump as you walk, being sure to drag your ass in such a way as to attract sympa­ thetic stares.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Astrology serves me well, but I sometimes aug­ ment it with a modern form of div­ ination called videomancy. I formu­ late the question I want the spirits to answer, approach my TV with rever­ ence and flick on the power. The first human speech that pours from the box is my oracle. Here’s what I got for you, Leo, courtesy of the show “Friends.” Question: What should be Leo’s highest goal right now? Oracle (delivered by Chandler): It’d be nice to leave an ass-print on

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s not a good week to get your lover’s name tattooed on your body. Maybe by mid-June, but not yet. On the other hand, it would be a favorable moment to see if your lovers are will­ ing to get your name tattooed on their bodies. In the same vein, it would be a ripe moment to find out which friends would crawl across broken glass for you, which cowork­ ers would betray you for $5, and which authority figures would rather give you exactly what you want than watch you walk out of their lives. Be sly about how you test ’em all. But test ’em.

LIB R A

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Escape the claustrophobic mazes, Libra, and race towards the wild spaces. Okay? Finish up with the strange subterranean magic and con­ jure up some affable wizardry in more expansive settings. Okay? I assure you that you have paid your dues to the game of Now-You-See-ItNow-You-Don’t; the film noir quality of your life needs to evolve into the mood of a bright, inviting pilgrim­ age. You’re more than ready to come out and frolic on a spiritual play­ ground. One caution: To avoid being spanked by trick endings, make sure all the doors are closed before you begin celebrating.

defrocked Catholic priest named Abbe Boullan came up with a fasci­ nating approach to spirituality. The path to salvation, he taught, was greatly expedited by having sexual congress with archangels and other celestial beings. I haven’t been able to ascertain his exact birth date, but how could he not have been a Scorpio? Your tribe is famous for your certainty that Eros should be at the heart of your relationship with the divine. By the way, the coming weeks will give you abundant oppor­ tunities for proving this belief. It’ll be prime time for you to unleash wor­ shipful devotions to the higher forms of pleasure.

S A G IT T A R IU S (Nov 22-Dec. 21): Make Goldilocks your role model this week, Sagittarius. Remember how she rejected both the options that were too puny and too excessive? Like her, you should decide that a moderate share is the exactly correct amount. I bring this up because I feel it would be under­ standable if, after your recent period of deprivation, you grabbed for way too much gusto. It would be under­ standable, but it would be a mistake. Just enough is just right.

P IS C E S

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): It would be a good week to rent a cat costume and take a vacation from being human. Therefore, Pisces, I urge you to laze around in the sun. Sniff catnip, chase birds, gobble lots of delectable fish, and find an extremely patient saint who’ll pet and stroke you whenever you want and leave you the hell alone whenev­ er you want. Other than that, though, please try to accomplish as little as possible. Ready to begin your grand experiment? Get down on all fours and do a big feline stretch. Next, hiss loudly in the direction of any person that expects you to be endlessly productive. ®

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Due to a rare cosmic loophole that impacts your inner teenager, you have become eligible to lose your vir­ ginity again — possibly in the back seat of a car, but more likely in a well-furnished shrine or holy lap of luxury. In fact, Aquarius, this re­ deflowering may not exactly be sexu­ al at all. It might, instead, involve your initiation into the secrets of how and why to be more like a lover everywhere in your life, not just in typically romantic settings.

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): I urge you to mull over what strategies you’ve used to beat your fears in the past. Review as well the role models who have inspired you to be braver than you thought possible. In the weeks ahead, you’ll need all the extra help you can get as you face spooky invitations and mys­ terious challenges. It’s not that they’ll be any stronger or wilder than dilemmas you’ve dealt with before. It’s just that at this point in your life

Dear Lola, I recently moved to Vermont from a major metropolitan area that has an excellent, and very well-used, public transportation system. I used to ride to and from work at rush hour and enjoy the experience of being p a n of that jiggling hum an crush. In tact, the subway provid­ ed my only opportunity tor consistent hum an contact. Now that I’m liv­ ing in the country and commuting to work alone in my ca r every day, my lite feels sadly empty. How can I replace what I’ve lost? Untouched in Underhill : Dear Untouched, I’m sorry you’re feeling unfulfilled, and I empathize with your need for hum an contactj However, your pailicular approach is not one I would pursue. What you do with yourself, or with another consenting adult, is one thing. But your hobby involves the involuntary and nc doubt unw anted p a rtic i­ p ation of strangers. In other words, it’s exploitative and violat­ ing. Get thee to a coun­ selor, friend, and learn to move beyond simply being part of the crowd and form actual, interpersen relationships. Love,

J
