I don t know about no side-effects. Are they not counting blindness these days? Not that that's likely with careful use of steroid asthma inhalers. But if the message you heard was that inhalers have no side-effects, you heard wrong. Steroids are a lot like the Internet — versatile, dangerous in the wrong hands, and seemingly impossible to describe in comprehensible English. A typical encyclopedia account begins with the fascinating news that steroids are "any of a class of natural or synthetic organic chemical compounds characterized by a molecular structure of 17 carbon atoms arranged in four rings." Not to put too fine a point on it, but so freaking what? Eventually we get the picture: steroids are an important type of hormone, the chemicals by which the body regulates growth and other functions. Sex hormones, bile acids, vitamin D — they're ail steroids. Ordinarily the body manufactures steroid hormones naturally (out of cholesterol, interestingly). For good reasons and bad, though, people sometimes hot-wire the system, dosing themselves with 'roids to get bigger muscles or, in your case, to continue breathing. The results are often dramatic. But over the long term, In some cases, the system friez e ^^2 ^ ^ - - You're righttfoat the steroids in your inhaler aren't the same as the ohe$;iis«i by bodybuilder^ AH steroids arechemicaily similar (17 ; carbon atoms in four rings, remember?), but because of differences in the odd atom here and there they have widely varying effects. Anabolic (tissue-building) steroids, the kind some bodybuilders and athletes use, are basically synthetic testosterone. The glucocorticoids used in inhalers, on the other hand, are of a type produced by the adrenal cortex. High doses of glucocorticoids — much higher than the body normally produces — prevent the inflammation that causes asthma. But when taken in pill form they can also cause severe sideeffects, including suppression of the adrenal gland, cataracts and osteoporosis. Inhaled steroids, which became popular in the early 1990s, were thought to be safer than the pill kind because they acted directly on the lungs and weren't spread throughout the body. Today they're the mainstay of asthma therapy. Studies have shown that the reduce the risk of hospitalization or death due to ast 1997 aCanat

MARCHING SEASON Some folks don't fancy politicians marching in Memorial Day and Fourth of July parades. They argue it detracts from the observances of soldiers who gave their lives for the good oP USA and the fight for independence. But yours truly says — phooey! The pols add to the marching mix, breaking up the same old humdrum of kids' bands, antique cars and so many fire engines, pumpers, tankers and ladder trucks you'd think it was National Firefighters Day. And while we're at it, time to mention one little pet peeve. Memorial Day is not a day to honor veterans. Veterans have their own day in November. 1 Memorial Day is a day to honor | and reflect upon the men and | women in uniform who never got to become veterans because they » were killed in war, the form of | population control that we | humans fancy more than any I other. Yours truly loves seeing politiicians in parades. Let them face | the populace, pound the pave| ment and face the music. The « Vergennes Memorial Day parade is a personal favorite. This year I Attorney General Bill Sorrell led | the pack from the back seat of a | '66 Cadillac convertible. He was g the keynote speaker. More on him later. 55 Bernie Sanders led the candidate marching 1 section. He walked the route with his wife, Jane | Sanders. OP Bernardo needs no banner or sign to | identify himself. He's a star. The congressman has ~ improved his waving technique dramatically over * the years. He's relaxed and confident. That's what 1 four terms in Congress will do for you. | Lt. Gov. Doug Racine marched behind a nice | blue banner. Nice smile. A-plus wave. Deb Markowitz, candidate for secretary of Estate, pulled a little red wagon with her kids on | board, while her husband and another kid carried | the "Markowitz" banner. Wholesome. Not sleazy I No, Steve Howard wasn't there to throw sharp objects at her. In fact, our sources say L'il Sleazy Wonder is dropping out of that race and will run | for state senate in Rutland County instead. Too | much baggage. We'll miss him. I State Auditor Ed Flanagan marched, but he ^was shy one volunteer. Fast Eddie, Vermont's 1 junkyard dog, had one guy holding the banner by | himself and another behind him driving a Buick Skylark with a Flanagan sign on top. Felt sorry for the guy carrying the banner solo. U.S. Senate candidate Bashful Jack McMullen, the Cambridge Carpetbagger who wants to retire U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, strutted his stuff. Jack McMillion had the biggest banner of all. And he wasn't at all shy, gliding from curb to curb handing out little McMullen stickers to children. 'Course, they don't vote. A couple grown-ups who recognized his name shouted out "Carpetbagger!" and "Go home!" which he surely will after the election. Bashful Jack's team of six volunteers was decked out in green "McMullen for Senate" Tshirts. According to Wayne Turiansky at Amalgamated Culture Works, Jack McMillion's Tshirt order was picked up last week by a young man driving a vehicle with Massachusetts plates | and wearing — what else? — a Massachusetts | College Republicans T-shirt. I Anybody surprised? * And Barbara Snelling did the march, too. IBabs was flanked by Rep. Connie Houston of | Ferrisburgh and Bill Sayre, board chairman of | Associated Industries of Vermont. No candidate's I banner for Babs. The trio were decked out in old,

v ftae vayiftr

1 red "Re-elect Barbara Snelling Lieutenant Governor" T-shirts. Is she running? I Let's just say Babs was the only Chittenden County senator marching in Addison County on Monday. Say no more. Citizens Initiatives? — If Vermont had a statewide referendum, the first question we'd like to see on the ballot is "Should Memorial Day be observed on Memorial Day?" Nothing too tricky there, folks. Last weekend we had Memorial Day marches on Saturday, May 23, and Monday, May 25. And the State of Vermont officially observes the holiday this coming Friday, May 29. What's the big problem with observing Memorial Day on May 30 like it's supposed to be? The way things are going, Christmas will soon be switched to the third Monday in December, and New Year's will be moved to the first Monday in January — except in Vermont, where it will be a floating holiday § for state workers. It's just plain goofy! Rome Alert!!! — Bernie Rome g was steaming this weekend when ^ he got hold of Howard Dean's 1 latest fundraising letter. In it, Ho-Ho disses both Republican g challengers, Bernie II and Ruth » Dwyer. "In November, I will face either a wealthy New York busi- | nessman who opposes our actions | to improve Vermont's schools and „ has made it clear that he will fund his campaign generously out of his own pocket, or a very conservative activist who oppos- | es a woman's right to choose. Both seem determined to turn back the clock on Vermont's accomplishments." Signed, Howard Dean, M.D. § "Typical political crap," said Rome. "It's not jf just a distortion, it's an outright lie." Fact is, Bernie Rome was born and raised in g Vermont and graduated from UVM before headi ing for the Big Apple to make his fortune. HoHo, on the other hand, was born and raised in New York City before heading to Vermont to make his political fortune. "For him to call me wealthy," said Rome, "dramatizes the fear that is stirring within him because he finds himself confronted with a real 1 Vermonter who wasn't born with a silver spoon in | his mouth." Bernie II told Inside Track that his old boss, New York Mayor Ed Koch, once told him "to give as good as you get." He's trying, but so far his biggest problem is, nobody in his home state has heard of him. By the way, Ho-Ho did no marching last weekend. He was "out-of-state" attending soccer tournaments with his kids, according to his royal spokesman. "Governors are allowed to love their children, too," said Sue Allen, his Virginia bornand-bred press secretary. Let's see, Virginia? That's 13 electoral votes! Pedal Please? — Two months after he won a Chicago Bicycle in a silent auction at the Multiple Sclerosis "Dinner of Champions," Bill Sorrell is still waiting to get the bicycle. Gen. Sorrell bid $500 for a $1000 bike for his wife, Mary Alice McKenzie. MS chapter president Leslie Dunn was reluctant to talk to us. "I don't feel comfortable talking about this," she said in a brief conversation Tuesday. Problem is, The Chicago Bicycle Co. has closed its Shelburne factory. The company is being reorganized and seeking capital. CEO Stephen Marmon of Bethesda, Maryland, told Inside Track this week that the outfit's been renamed The United States Bicycle Corp. and he promised Vermont's attorney general will be getting a bike soon. We'll keep you posted. (7) I

H O L Y ' S I ' ; Soon after Frank Sinatra died in California, the Church Street • Burlington • 660-3603

phone started ringing in Middlebury. Reporters wanted a comment from the source of a recent collection of essays that bills itself as "the real Italian-American experience." But "I don't know anything about Frank Sinatra," recalls Jay Parini, who coedited Beyond the Godfather with Burlington neurologist Ken Ciongoli. Instead he referred reporters to one of the 23 contributors — Gay Talese, the former New York Times reporter who wrote Honor Thy Father.

GREAT THOU : There is no shortage of talented artists on the faculty at the University of Vermont. But the art department is losing some of its brightest hues with the double departure of adjunct professors Michael Oatman and Jeff Hannigan. With an % anthropological approach to contemporary art, Oatman has H played an active role in the downtown visual arts renaissance. He is the guy who masterminded an exhibit on eugenics in , , Vermont and, a few years later, transformed the Exquisite J n s f j ; > Corpse Gallery into a funhouse with <t funky installation that involved issuing "passports" to viewers passing through. Mostly, though, he taught, setting students on fire with his enthusiasm and creativity. "He'll probably wind up famous — or notorious — somewhere," says Hannigan, who is also leaving what he . describes as a "no-respect situation" as an adjunct professor of contemporary art and architecture. "I asked them for a full-time job, but they are looking for a computer-art person." He adds, "Michael and I felt like kindred spirits up there." Down here, it's our loss.

ROAD WARRIOR?

Is there room in the Winnebago for Matt Gosselin? The 19-year-old YMCA lifeguard has been waiting for weeks to hear if he has a seat on MTV's "Road Rules." The show throws five people together for 10 weeks in a recreational vehicle and broadcasts the ensuing drama — introverts need not apply. Of 1600 wannabes, only 30 are left in the running, including Gosselin, who recently submitted to a probing phone interview that he was also required to videotape. "They wanted to know what my relationships were like," he says. "I told them one of my past girlfriends had broken up with me and was now a lesbian. They wanted to know how I felt about that." So much for driving skills.

IN BRIEF

I Tired of boy-meets-girl movies? The Gay and Lesbian Film and Literature Club of Burlington offers a radical shift in focus throughout the month of June. Expanding their Monday night movie schedule to include Sundays, the mini-festival includes contemporary flicks like Lilies, Bound and Latin Boys Go to Hell Along with camp classics like Brain Candy and All About Eve, it gives Harry and Sally some real alternatives . . . It wasn't enough for Brian Pritchard to spend three hours running the Vermont City Marathon. The former ropes-course instructor "crossed the finish line, leapt over the fence and got to us in time to do his solo in the first piece," says fellow Taiko drummer Fran Stoddard. "It was very dramatic." . . . Congressional debates aside, Lake Champlain needs all the attention it can get. Artists can be part of the solution by participating in an August show of water works at the Doll-Anstadt Gallery in Burlington. The organizers are also trying to round up poets who can read lake-specific work: "anything from zebra mussels, to sailing in circles, to lake as metaphor — as long as it has to do with the lake," suggests poet Anna Blackmer. To answer the "call," contact Blackmer at 862-9616. ® may

f f ^ T forbid my wife to w w I shop on Church Street," a Colchester cop tells a Marketplace merchant. A middle-aged woman who wants to shop at Baby Gap asks to be escorted through the pierced and foul-mouthed crowd hanging out in front of the mall. An Essex woman who can't find the shoes she wants in her suburban stores reluctantly tells her friends, "I guess we'll have to take our chances and go to Church Street." "The undesirables consider Burlington a wide-open town," complains the business owner who tells these stories — and doesn't want to be named. "There's a slackening of the code in Burlington," says Stu McGowan, a resident of the Old North End. "There's more urinating in public, more spitting. It's not that I'm getting older; it's getting worse." Violent crimes like murder and rape have not risen in Burlington, according to Police Lieutenant Bill LaWare, who Heads the Department's Community Services Unit. But the perception of crime has. What bothers me most," he says, "is a desensitizing among community members. People here have begun subscribing to a big-city mentality. There's not as much caring out there." ' Compared to most cities," spins Mayor Peter Clavelle, Burlington is incredibly livable. We' ve received accolades across the board, from the leftleaning Nation to Reader's

Digest. But there are behaviors," His Honor concedes, "particularly in the central city, that are eroding our quality of life. Noise. Irresponsible pet ownership. Landlords not keeping their properties up. Traffic congestion." Is Vermont's largest city headed for hell in a handbasket, or does it just feel that way? Whichever the case may be, many of the city's most powerful players — from the mayor and the City Council to the Police Commission and members of the Police Department to business owners, youth advocates and ordinary residents — are hoping to see the same drop in crime in Burlington that Mayor Rudy Guiliani has managed to pull off in New York City. The magic bullet? Community-based policing. "The overall goal of community-based policing is to push down the crime rate," explains Police Commission Chair Jerry O'Neill. "You do find that in places where it's been implemented, people feel better about their community." "If you call the police and say, 'Someone spit on my foot or shouted at me...' it's very hard for them to put that high on a priority list," adds Frank Bouchett, a member of the Marketplace Commission and owner of Pier One Imports on Church Street. "Communitybased policing stops those little incivilities that happen when police aren't around. I can see the change in atmosphere on the street when a policeman is visible," he adds. "The atmos-

Burlington cops a new attitude about communitybased policing By Ruth Horowitz phere changes from one of 'when is the next little incident going to occur?' to 'things are healthy, and I feel comfortable being here.'" Rebecca Morse, a street worker for the Community Partnership Project — a collaboration between the police, the schools, the Chamber of Commerce and Spectrum Family Services — agrees. The best way to reduce crime and antisocial behavior, she suggests, is to increase police presence and encourage the officers to get to know the public as individuals. "You treat people with respect, they'll respect their community," Morse predicts. The idea of communitybased policing is to get cops out of their cars and involved in the lives of the neighborhoods they serve. By taking care of the little things — disorderly conduct, broken windows — the theory goes, a community can move from chaos to control and create an atmosphere that discourages criminal behavior. Burlington has had a "Community-Based Program," with an appropriately labeled squad car and a specially assigned officer, since 1990.

But true community-based policing, advocates argue, requires more than an isolated program. It entails an overarching attitude that permeates the entire organization. The city may soon have a chance to see if the approach that is said to have put the shine back on the Big Apple can also restore the luster to the Queen City's jewels. Personnel changes within the Police Department and pressure from the outside community have put the pieces in place. Chief Kevin Scully — whom some see as having been an impediment to progress, and others credit with laying the foundation for change — has retired, and a national search is underway for a new chief with experience in, and commitment to, community-based policing. In addition, several senior officers who held administrative jobs inside the station house took early retirement this spring, clearing the way for new, community-oriented patrol officers; several officers with community-based backgrounds have recently been promoted to lieutenant; and, in a major reorganization implemented January 1, officers are now assigned to teams that provide round-the-clock coverage of specific neighborhoods for several months at a stretch.

he push for changes in the Police Department has actually come from outside the force. Clavelle, who urged the creContinued

CHAD (self-released CD) — With an eponymous band name and CD title, Burlington's Chad Hollister gets an A for self-promotion. Still doing the long-haired boy thing. Hollister cops a peculiar fetish for his own considerable tresses — as Jdenced evidenced by hk his song, "Sensitive P.T. Guy" (that's P.T. for ponytail). But Chad the recording emits more testosterone than his earlier effort. These 13 songs, produced by Hollister, his friend and guest keyboard player Martin Guigui, and L.A. studio exec Charlie Midnight, exude confidence, enthusiasm and an affection for good old hairball rock 'n roll of the Bob Seger or Huey Lewis variety. That said, Hollister is more boyish than macho,

Melodies tend toward straightforward verses that often include nonsense syllables, and a sing-along chorus — sometimes shouted in goofy, guy-like glee. If Hollister s big voice is a gift, his weakness is a penchant for eye-rolling, non sequitur lyrics. Even the potentially cynical "L.A.

And Canada's a big country, so Fatties got every reason to expect more orders — especially following a slew of thumbs-up reviews. In related news, as they say on TV, Belizbeha's putting its "Inhibitions" to good use: the party mix of that smooth disco tune — as heard on Hop 2 — was added to a national comp called United DJs of America, recently released by Moonshine Records.

Routlv e s BE ST SEL LE R

ornings on National Public Radio belong to the voices of earnest middle-aged men who suggest we should be very concerned, but not panicked, about serious subjects like nuclear testing in India. Closer to home, and appealing to a slightly older demographic, are the folksy yarns of Willem Lange, Ron Rood and Will "Ranger Rick" Curtis. If you're not interested in the mating patterns of migratory birds, you might just be tempted to tune in to the livelier Don Imus or Howard Stern. I'd almost given up on the esteemed public radio crew when I first picked up the irreverent, effeminate voice of David Sedaris, talking about sexual harassment in "Santaland" and the maneuverings of one flirtatious fellow elf. This was not Sylvia Poggioli reporting from Rome. It was Sedaris making extra money working the Christmas shift at Macy's. Well observed and hilariously demented, it was the kind of story that would have pleased the late great Flannery O'Connor. "Santaland Diaries" opened the floodgates — six years and three bestsellers later, Sedaris is being heralded as "the most brilliantly witty New Yorker since Dorothy Parker," and "one of his generation s most idiosyncratic comic writers." His third book, Naked, which just came out in paperback, starts with three pages of praise for a man who, as one critic

to write after three days on the Greyhound, or a much-tooclose encounter with a stranger who collects plastic penises. "There was nothing in there that was completely made up. I mean, I did hitchhike crosscountry with a quadriplegic," Sedaris says of Naked, which follows him down a bumpy road from a tic-tortured childhood to a reluctant stay at a nudist colony. "Most of the things people think aren't true are the things that I didn't exaggerate at all . . . It is any parent's worst nightmare — to have a child who writes." Sedaris developed his ear for dialect as a Yankee growing put it, "can find meaning, as up in the South.

NAKED TRUTH

Continued from page 15 thinking, what would it feel like to write those words?' I realized words were more powerful to me than pictures." A devoted diary writer, Sedaris had already collected a lot of raw material — NPR producer Ira Glass discovered him at a reading in Chicago. Because he couldn't afford to write full-time, Sedaris cleaned apartments to subsidize his creative endeavors. But as Holidays on Ice and then Barrel Fever were published, the merry-maid thing became sort of a marketing "gimmick," as Sedaris puts it — an easy hook for interviewers who didn't know what else to ask him about. Calling on his considerable mimicry skills, he offers, "Somebody might be a college professor and they write a book. But the interviewer would never say, "Let me get this straight: You teach college and you write?" In truth, no query is too dumb for Sedaris, who puts almost as much energy into his question-and-answer sessions as he does into writing and reading his stories. As celebrities go, he is remark- ;

It's like lookihg in a mirror — a spooky mirror — and seeing yourself." Not all of his audience members laugh at themselves so readily. Last month at the Hopkins Center in Hanover, New Hampshire, Sedaris read a new story about his father, who was not only obsessed with golf, but keeping his daughters trim. As a practical joke, one of his sisters came home wearing a "fatty suit" under her clothes, giving the false impression that she had put on a ton of weight. Her father looked on horrified as she flashed her padded posterior, taking every ass-accentuating opportunity to increase his torment.

The story got lots of laughs in Hanover, but at the Gay and Lesbian Festival in the Berkshires a few weeks later, it went over like a lead balloon. "It was the wrong audience," Sedaris says in reference to the group of lesbians who walked out in protest. But his devilish giggle suggests he rather enjoyed the experience.

"I wrote a story about my brother that would be really fun to read, but he has a really filthy mouth," Sedaris says, punctuating his off-color example with yet another evil chuckle.

ost restaurateurs would kill for a prime location: something at street-level on a bustling city block with parking close by, and high-end shops around to draw a highend clientele. Claus and Danny Bockwold, however, are not your average restaurateurs. Their restaurant, The Iron Wolf, is already hard enough to find — across from Burlington's City Hall Park, behind Carbur's, in a commercial building occupied by consulting firms and anonymous offices.

This summer the Buckwolds hope

to move to a new — and as yet unknown — location that might be even harder to find. They would like it to be, perhaps, "something you have to get to by elevator," says Danny, who acts as the hostess, waitress and bartender while her husband tends the kitchen. "A destination." The reason they're moving is that they want something a bit bigger: their current dark and cozy room seats 26, max, and "is too small to have staff, and too big for just us to handle," says Danny. But wherever The Iron Wolf winds up, it will be worth your while to track it down. The food is serious but unpretentious, a revolving menu of fresh, seasonal dishes cooked with a definite French flair by the German-born Claus, and served by his Lithuanian wife. The current home of The Iron Wolf — the name comes from an old Lithuanian legend, according to Danny, and symbolizes the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius — does not match the food. The decor is Early Fern Bar: etched glass windows, cafe curtains and fake hanging plants, and an enormous bar inherited from the owners of the previous establishment, Harrys Bar & Grill. The glossy tables resemble high-end office furniture. The sound system, the night we were there, was softly emitting '60s fare, another jarring note. There was something disconcerting about eating noisette of lamb in an elegant, herbed

sauce while listening to "Sherry Baby" and "I Fought the Law and the Law Won." The Fab Four might at least have saved the evening, musically speaking. But, as it turned out, the evening didn't need saving. The food more than made up for the tunes and the decor. The wine list is long — maybe 80 selections — and the menu small, which to me immediately denotes a good culinary mind at work (i.e., wine ages well; most food doesn't). We eschewed appetizers on the grounds that we wouldn't be hungry enough for the entrees, but it was a real sacrifice: The menu offered duck mousse ($5.75), carpaccio ($6), and gravlax ($6.50).

Op, pop, pop." The

sound of gun shots | reverberate in my head, breaking the tranquility of our Green Mountain refuge. They are not the sounds of pistol fire in some big city — or yet another playground. Rather, they're the echoes of a crime committed right here in Vermont. As I read the first-person account in two recently published articles by Charlotte shooting survivor Alison Granucci, the horror of the scene rings loud and clear: It was a cold February day in 1990 when drifter Keith Roland stepped off a bus in Burlington from San Diego. Within 15 minutes, and for no particular reason, he found the entrance to Granucci's lower Church Street massage office. Reluctantly she let him in, only to be forced to the ground and shot, executionstyle, in the back of the head. Almost as amazing as Granucci's survival was her decision to get on the other side of the barrel in an attempt to understand the power of guns and, perhaps, to help heal herself. "What better way to put the shooting behind me once and for all than to face the very instrument of destruction that had been used against me?" Granucci writes of her decision to learn to shoot firearms — including the snub-nose .38-caliber handgun that was Roland's weapon of choice. With Granucci's words ricocheting in my mind, I head out to the Ethan Allen Firing Range to keep an appointment with some avid target shooters. On the surface, my motivation is to learn about one of the fastest-growing sports in America and to try to understand the enthusiasts who pursue it. But on another level, I too am hoping to get a better handle on the power of guns and my relationship to them. At the firing range, with Mt. Mansfield looming in the background, I meet Burlington Rifle and Pistol Club members Bill Leipold, Clem Sheffert and John

AT HOME ON THE RANGE?

Gun control requires more than target practice

For a moment, I realize that I'm the arbiter of that fine line between life and death, civilization and chaos. But before I can even contemplate the thought, the target calls me back, challenging me to improve my aim, and puncture its paper surface.

Young. This trio wouldn't ever have a problem being admitted through Granucci's door, or anyone else's. Veteran IBMers — though Sheffert's now retired — they're an unassuming and likable threesome that could just as easily be knocking golf balls around Kwiniaska as shooting holes in small paper targets. "We're a bunch of rednecks," Sheffert teases when he meets me. "We've got a minister, an engineer and a professor" in the club. While an Oregon youth is being fingered as an example of marksmanship gone astray, these shooters could be excused of being a little defensive. But as the three unpack what they're, well, packing — mostly high-powered scopes, ammunition and a couple of pistols each — they speak with pride of their sport of choice. The draw of bull's-eye shooting, which is just one of many shooting "games," including skeet and action-shooting, is the challenge and the camaraderie it provides.

GET SHARR STAY SHARP. READ SEVEN DAYS.

"It's no different than golf, or pool or bowling," argues Sheffert, a modest 70-year-old with a keen wit and a sharp shot. Like other sports, this one requires concentration, good hand-eye coordination and lots of practice, he says. "You have a score in mind and you keep trying to improve," adds the former state pistol champ. Although Indy car drivers are never asked to answer for the reckless teenager who kills with a vehicle, the more than 10,000 firearm homicides in the United States each year points out that sportsmen use an implement that doubles as a weapon. "We're just as interested in prevention as anyone else. We have families, too," Sheffert replies. "What I'm thinking of when I pick up this thing," he continues in a reference to his .22 pistol, "is the high degree of mental discipline, as well as the physical ability, that it takes to be successful." The three friends, like dozens of other target shooters

statewide, are setting their sights on the 56th annual Vermont State Pistol Championships scheduled for June 13-14 at the Woodstock Gun and Rifle Club. Rich in history, competitive shooting was one of the original sports in the modern Olympics, and the "free pistol" medal is still the first one awarded at the summer games. Its ceremony is one firearm competitors accuse the television networks of overlooking. After we put on eye and ear protection, Leipold picks up his .45 pistol and aims it down range at the center of a 10x10-inch target. Even through the earmuffs, the sound of the first shot catches me off-guard. It's loud enough to rattle free Granucci's words on how the larger-caliber firearms left her shaking with the violence of the act. After a few rounds, Leipold offers me a chance to shoot his gun. The .45 is a heavy piece of metal, weighing maybe five pounds, and its price is a conContinued on page 32

URBAN FOLK By Hare Avfodev

ine artists respond to their

times in many different ways. Some bury their heads in the sand to focus on grains of pure formalism. Some attempt to create Utopian visions of how the world ought to be. Others scatter sensory overload across the walls of contemporary galleries to reflect, and reflect upon, the chaos of modern life. Emanuel Pangilinan is a New York artist of the third kind. His view of "loungin"' is akin to Fragonard's view of frolickin' on the eve of the French Revolution. Pangilinans images, currently on view at the Exquisite Corpse Artsite in Burlington, are rich with the stuff of pop culture, and his colors create harmonies of noise that many in the turning millennium would rather shut out. With the discipline of a cruise missile, Pangilinan seems to limit his technical range to capture the mysterious hummm of city life on his canvases. He has also developed an iconography of cigarettes, apple trees and Walkmans that can transmit V clips of inner vision beneath the surface flash. In his strongest pieces, he demonstrates a remarkable sensitivity for materials. His confident spontaneity of paint application — especially apparent in the back-room gallery pieces at Exquisite Corpse — should not be overlooked by viewers caught up in the hectic pictorial details that pepper the entire show. Like a budding Bruegel for the 21st century, Pangilinan

pushes the eye with archipelagoes of red and white. He has included other nods to history as well. "Imagination" is a classic Z-shaped composition in shallow space. Though its just a simple picture of a "loungin'" couple — the guy is just reading a book, and the cartoonish colors seem discordant — the creativi-

SHADOWS AND LIGHT Bv Pamela Polston

When you recognize his illustrations from Rolling Stone, you know this artist has been around. Indeed, Vermonter Hal Mayforth's cartoons and drawings have graced the pages of national magazines and newspapers for years, and in 1994 he was granted the Cartoonist Society Associations Award of the Year. In a current show at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne — which he shares with painter Laura Von Rosk — Mayforth lets loose with a volley of watercolor and pen drawings that are elaborations of doodles in his sketchbooks. One of these books is on hand for viewing as well.

Mayforth's trademark style is quick, witty, spontaneous line drawings, adorned with symbols and decorative borders that echo Southwestern rock petroglyphs. You might call his work figurative if stick figures count; his humanoids and critters are not exactly true to life.

tiple-figured surfaces are not so much compositions as arrangements. Often their humor is underlined by sly titles: "In Deep Thought" depicts a funny creature with round body, stick legs and arms, apparently experiencing an epiphany. In "Hoot," that's exactly what the largebeaked bird appears to be doing. Mayforth's intuitive ease with his mediums, off-beat imagination and lightness of spirit make for delightful viewing. Their contrast with Von Rosk's unpeopled landscapes is striking. Not that her vision is somber; rather, the

long-range perspective that leads the eye on and on, the undulating, voluptuous hillsides, the deep shadows and dark forests, inspire reflection and serenity — what nature always gives us if we pay attention. From upstate New York, Von Rosk has had plenty of opportunity for close observation of trees, patchwork fields and snowy lanes. Her interpretations, while close to realistic, have a smooth, surreal quality, their quietude an eerie edge. This is enhanced by glossy surfaces that seem to hermetically seal these scenes, preserved like sacred icons. Mayforth's small canvases are like gems, glowing from within and timeless. ® s l u g : Laura Von Rosk and Hal M a y f o r t h , p a i n t i n g s . Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery, S h e l b u r n e .

LONE 'WOLF' Continued from page 19 my meal with a watercress and endive salad, beautifully presented and garnished with some lovely glazed nuts. My husband had the house salad ($3.75), a lively mesclun mix with a sharp, tasty dressing. Our other salad choice was a Caesar ($4.25). As we ate, we could snatch glimpses of Claus, an unassuming, soft-spoken, gray-haired man working in a tiny, open kitchen space behind the bar, a bottle of Pernod at his elbow — for my husband's swordfish dinner — and a cutting board nearby mounded with neat piles of chopped spices. The service — by Danny — was perfectly paced. Our four choices of entrees that night (the menu changes almost daily) included a filet of

that you want to lick off the plate; I settled for mopping it up with some bread. The dish came with a lovely assortment of fresh vegetables, also perfectly cooked: firm, roasted potatoes, tender asparagus, peppery spinach and a mound of the tastiest lightly cooked carrots I've ever eaten. My husband's swordfish ($16) — flavored with the Pernod and served with a tomato-saffron sauce — was also delicious, although the texture of the fish was odd, simultaneously stringy and a bit mushy. He lucked out with a serving of sauteed fiddleheads, though, along with a large assortment of vegetables. We didn't really want (not to mention need) dessert: the selections, all between $4 and $6, included vanilla ice cream with raspberry sauce, a fruit sorbet, chocolate mousse, souffle glace

the enormous bar chatting with Claus and Danny, they told us a bit about themselves. Claus, born in northern Germany, started cooking at the age of 14 and worked in kitchens in France, Switzerland and England before emigrating to the states in the 1960s. Danny, of Lithuanian parents but also born in Germany, says she spent most of her restaurant life as a bartender. The two met in San Francisco, and traveled the country looking for a spot to open their own place. While visiting friends near Waitsfield, they happened upon Burlington, and opened The Iron Wolf six years ago. They are still happy with their choice. "We find the people here very cosmopolitan, very knowledgeable about food and wine," says Danny. "These are intelligent customers — you can't fool around." Danny says part of the reason the couple chose Vermont is that "it looked like a beautiful place to live." But, busy with running the restaurant, she admits, "I still haven't seen much of it." The Iron Wolf, 1 Laivson Lane, Burlington; (802) 865-4462; open at 6p. m. Tuesday through Saturday, dinner only. Reservations recommended, especially on weekends. All major credit cards accepted.

AT HOME ON THE RANGE? Continued from page 27 siderable chunk of change — about a grand. T h e cartridge — not just the bullet, mind you, which is merely the projectile and only one of four parts of the load — is about the size of the last segment of a women's trigger finger. Inexperienced with handguns, I try to mimic the other guys on the range. With one hand in my pocket, feet spread wide, the gun at shoulder height, I do my best to breathe and hold the gun steady. Instead, as I look through the scope, the crosshairs are dancing as I look at the target 50 yards away. Finally, I manage to squeeze off a shot, but it misses the mark completely. Then, as I resight the gun, my mind wanders to the potential for destruction weighing at the end of my arm. With a shudder, I get a glimpse of the obscene power that people with guns must feel. For a moment, I realize that I'm the arbiter of that fine line between life and death, civilization and chaos. But before I can even contemplate the thought, the target calls me back, challenging me to improve my aim, and puncture its paper surface. Without being asked, John Young offers me his Ruger .22. Smaller and lighter, .22s don't have any real recoil, but they're more of a kick. With the target only 25 yards away, I find the bulls-eye with my first shot. Concentrating again on the electronic red dot that

substitutes for cross-hairs, I fire off the rest of the 10-cartridge clip. It feels good, even athletic, the blood pumping through my forearm like I've just finished a bouldering problem on a climbing wall As I wend my way out of the National Guards facility, past an obstacle course and camouflaged tanks, I think of

"It's no different than golf, or pool or bowling. You have a score in mind and you keep trying to improve." - Clem Sheffert, target shooter some of the things Granucci had said: Understandably, she would never own a gun or use one for self-defense. Moreover, she longs for a movement away from violence and guns. And yet, Granucci says she is also grateful for what guns have taught her, for they've brought her closer to the world "as it is." Outside the range I drive past mountain bikers in Jericho, soccer players in i <2olc|ester and road rideygja Winooski and see the world where I live more as it is. In Vermont, guns are a part of that landscape. Whether they're used for violence or sport, of course, is up to all of u s . ®

advertising in SEVEN DAYS wellness di rectory feels good

May 28- June 3 ARICS

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In search of a

vision about your imminent future, I gazed into my crystal ball while alternately taking sips of coffee and beer. First thing I saw was a set of horns sprouting from your head. On closer look, I thought maybe they were antennae. You got a devilish look on your face and said "Turn me on — I'm a radio" in an inviting tone of voice. That was the end of the vision. Here's how I interpret it: You're growing new psychic receptors that'll allow you to tune in to a broader range of signals from a wilder variety of sources. This could threaten the old ways and scare old friends, however — which might be both bad and good.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Fantasizing about a fresh, hot flood of money flowing into your coffers? You might consider changing your last name to Banks or Rich or Cash, as studies show that folks with those monikers are more likely to win lotteries. Another suggestion is to constantly survey the ground as you walk, scanning for bills that have fallen out of strangers' pockets. You could also check for change in the coin return slots of pay phones, or send away for the lucky treasure chest from the ad in the National Enquirer. If none of that helps, try

boosting the levels of integrity and

and chocolate syrup served on naked flesh? A gourmet bacchanalia under the moonlight? Festive groping amidst the fruit salad on a blanket spread out at the nearest park? Only one way to find out the correct intepretation, Gemini: Write "Midnight Sex Picnic?" on a piece of red paper and hand it to the sly creature who's best qualified to help you act it out.

CANCCR Oune 21-July 22): Today, at my daughter Zoe's request, I bought a non-toxic kids' kit of nail polish. As I was painting a yin-yang symbol in black and red on the nail of her left pinkie, she took the brush out of the bottle of yellow polish and drew a smiley face on the wart she has on her left ring finger. I was full of admiration for her. That wart is the only thing that truly bothers her about herself, and yet there she was decorating it with self-mocking humor and grace. I couldn't help but think of you Cancerians at that moment: It was the perfect oracle to symbolize your upcoming cosmic assignment. Which is why I advise you to paint a smiley face on your own wart, or find the closest metaphorical approximation.

^ T ^ W ™ "

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I'm asking your subconscious mind to do you a favor and dream of using an ax at least once in the coming week. Such a dream would help give you the strength to dismantle stuff you no longer need in your life. It would also remind you that in order to erect any new structure, from a shining temple to a cozy workshop, you have to destroy something first: whether it be the trees that'll serve as building materials or the old edifice that stands on the site of your future creation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The editors of Fortean Times, a magazine which specializes in tracking unusual phenomena, recently published their annual Weirdness Index. Nineteen ninety-seven was the most bizarre year since they started keeping track, exceeding all previous years in reports of poltergeists, UFOs, frogs falling from the sky, weeping statues, alien big cats, spontaneous human combustion, and panics over penis-stealing magicians. I bring this up, Libra, to prepare you for the next few weeks. Your tribe's curious adventures during this time could singlehandedly boost the 1998 Weirdness Index to an all-time high. Be ready for anything, from the ghost of your future self visiting you in the middle of the

teddy bear of your dreams, or becoming blood brothers/sisters with a truthseeking collaborator, or signing on the dotted line with the muse of business. All I ask is that you marry your fortunes together with a partner who inspires you to become a better partner to yourself.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Many Sagittarians spend their entire span of years on this planet feeling as if they're living in exile. For these permanently unsettled folks, no place ever feels like it's the sweet spot where they truly belong. As I've hinted at a couple times in the last six months, though, 1998 will most likely bring a homecoming for a sizable fraction of you Centaurs. That could mean anything from finding a community that honors your restlessness to living in a building whose fengshui is an almost perfect match for your own expansive vibes. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because you're now in an excellent position to locate this dreamy sanctuary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Since you're probably either too busy or too proud or too poor to see a therapist, I guess you'll have to rely on my services

Bang at the beginning of time to the Big Crunch at the end of time is exactly halfover. I think it's an ironic coincidence that your love life is currently experiencing a cosmic squeeze that's sort of like what would happen if the Big Bang and Big Crunch happened simultaneously. Did I say "coincidence?" Ha! It's no coincidence! This much sublime wrenching could only happen to someone who was exactly half-wise and half-foolish.

PISCCS (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): One of the most famous and accomplished Pisceans in the history of the world had trouble winning the approval of the person who was most responsible for his existence. I'm talking about George Washington. His mother denigrated his achievements and refused to show up at either of his presidential inaugurations. I hope that hearing this will dramatically diminish your anxiety about your own parents' inability to acknowledge your special talents. In the coming weeks especially, it'll be important for you to neither cater to nor rebel against mommy's and daddy's expectations. ®

way. What

scares me is this: When I'm alone, I find having very

myself

provocative

sexual thoughts

about

this adorable

canine,

and scheming

about

ways to spend time with "Fifi" in private. Am I a sinner? Mutt-lover

Middlebury

Dear Mutt, Unless you're Jimmy Carter, who

believes

that it's possible to sin in one's heart,

you're

not yet in league

with

the devil. But you have stepped

onto a

slippery

slope, and before

you

allow yourself

to step in

it any further,

consider

that bestiality

is a crime

in the state of Vermont. If that doesn't

bother

you, at least make doggone sure you've got the canine's

consent.
