MOVED BY KATEY'S STORY To Jernigan Pontiac: I just fin ished reading your story [Hackie] for the May 16 edition of Seven Days. I am not sure what has com pelled me to write this, but I was very moved. Many of the stories you write about hold a special emotion in them, regardless of whether that is your intention. This weeks story, about “Katey,” particularly moved me. While I am not a single parent and have never struggled with the same experiences as she, my heart goes out to her. Having known several single parents in my life, I know that she faces significant chal lenges, particularly in the dating world. As you alluded to in your story, her friendships have suffered. But also, in dating, especially at this point, her confidence is likely at a very low point. I’m a 27-year-old single guy in this city, and I know what it’s like to be around people who don’t have the highest level of maturity. But I am single by choice, because of my deep passion for true love. That poor girl that you wrote about, right now, just needs some friends, people to hold onto, to give her hugs, to let her know things are going to be OK. [Katey]... is very, very lucky. The point you made in your story is the point I think you were try

ing to get across to her, as she sits down to read Seven Days. The point being, her family, her little one — that is the essence of life. Please let her know, everything is going to be OK. After all, she’s got you watching out for her, right? — Pete Krantz South Burlington HUNGRY FOR FOOD NEWS After reading your food issue of May 16 1 was inspired! Although, truthfully, while the entire issue was of its usual outstanding quali ty, I was especially intrigued by Molly Stevens’ article, “Testing, Testing.” After reading about the toils and troubles of food writing I was left wanting more. As I am a self-confessed foodie and a gradu ate of NECI I found myself relat ing to Molly’s food adventures... Thanks for such a great paper. — Levi Hanson Barre FLORY’S INTENTIONS Rep. Peg Flory has advocated an interesting proposal. Under her plan, Vermont’s civil-union law would be repealed and replaced by a reciprocal benefits law that would make virtually any relation ship between any two people eligi ble to receive benefits and privileges. Overall, the plan has merit but
it is being criticized because oppo nents feel that it strips away the dignity provided to same-sex cou ples through civil unions. Rep. Flory denies that charge. If she feels strongly that the reciprocal benefits law does not diminish the dignity of a “couples” relationship, then she should consider repealing Vermont’s marriage laws and replacing them with reciprocal benefits. Or, she should advocate for, reciprocal benefits in addition to marriage and civil unions. I think her reluctance to take either of those steps reveals the true intent of this legislation and should be opposed. — Tom Bisson Montpelier IN SUPPORT OF SEN. JEFFORDS While I have only lived in Vermont since 1988, I cherish, am proud of and enjoy living in this state I now call home. Senator Jeffords’ decision to become an Independent has deepened and enriched that sense of pride I have. As an Independent myself, I fully welcome and support Senator Jeffords’ decision. Since Vermont is gaining a true independent in the U.S. Senate, I now feel much better represented. I am completely confident that Senator Jeffords will continue to
serve Vermont and our nation well. I also believe that, with his deci sion, he has done more than any one has in a long time to give poli tics and our political process a much-needed shot in the arm. Now average citizens may begin to feel they have someone at a higher political level to relate to, be repre sented by and have as a role model for their making a difference in various meaningful ways them selves. I am grateful to Senator Jeffords for his courage, sense of dignity and the depth of respect that he has shown in standing firm for what is best for our state, the people of Vermont, the nation as a whole and everything he believes in and holds sacred. — Morgan W. Brown Montpelier ODE TO SOY We had to respond to Susan Green’s article [“Where’s the Tofu,” May 16] in your food issue. We’re quite sure Susan has never visited the deli at Moon Meadow Market or interviewed our chef. To correct the shallow com ments made, we are not a do-ityourself deli. We are a full-service deli.

Last Thursday, a few hours after the bombshell dropped, Jeezum Jim related the story of how Dubya’s dad, Bush I, had confided to him a decade ago that he, Bush I, had failed to pay enough atten tion to the moderates in the Republican Party. That failure cost Bush I a second term in the White House. We now know it was a lesson the father never passed on to the son.

Curses, Foiled Again
“and then she did this to us.”
When police officer Greg Tucker heard loud music blaring from a 2001 Toyota Camry parked at a convenience store in Tallahassee, Florida, he pulled alongside to tell the driver to turn down the music, then noticed it was parked in a handicapped spot. Tucker told the driver to move, but the man said he would only be there a few minutes. Tucker ran a check and discov ered the car was stolen. After arresting Alonzo Lamar McMillan, 20, on several felony charges, Tucker declared, “He’s not exactly a criminal master mind.”
Bad-Neighbor Policy Police charged Keziah E. Stahl, 20, of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, with racking up $2275 in psychic hot-line phone charges on her neighbors’ phones while pretending to make emer gency calls. Johanna Shingle said she let Stahl use her phone after Stahl said her phone wasn’t work ing and asked to make an emer gency call. Shingle later got a telephone bill listing $445 for calls Stahl made. Another neigh bor, Philomena Grohal, told police Stahl made $ 1830 in psy chic hot-line calls from her phone when Grohal and her husband let Stahl stay overnight after she told them she was locked out of her apartment. “We thought we were helping her out,” Grohal said,
Optimists of the Week Carl and Debbie Prewitt, owners of the Eastwood Texaco Service Center in Birmingham, Alabama, sued the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in federal court for price-fixing and won. The Wall Street Journal reported that Senior U.S. District Judge Charles Weiner granted the couple a oneyear injunction barring OPEC from crafting, implementing or enforcing agreements on crude-oil production. How the court will enforce the injunction isn’t clear, although the Prewitts’ lawyer, Michael Straus, said he “assumes a lawful order of the U.S. District Court will be obeyed.”
At Least He Wasn’t in the Middle Seat Donna Beaulieu, her daughter and son-in-law complained to Continental Airlines that while on their way home to British Columbia after vacationing in Bali, the airline seated a man next to them who was unconscious and hooked up to IVs and oxy gen. “We looked at each other and said, ‘This guy isn’t going to make it,’” she told the Houston Chronicle, noting that several times during the five-hour flight to Hawaii, he stopped breathing, only to be roused by flight atten dants until he finally frothed at the mouth and died. The airline
Way to Go
designed to be accurate to within a few millionths of a second a year, has been plagued by prob lems since its installation in June 1999. The latest glitch occurred in April, when the clock began losing an hour every Sunday. Although NRC officials cannot explain why the loss occurs, they insist it is a software problem. “The clock itself is not losing time,” Jean-Simon Boulanger, the NRC’s group leader of frequency and time, said. “The problem is a display, which doesn’t display time properly.” To add to the embarrassment, the display fea tures a plaque boasting that the Millennium Clock “celebrates Canada’s rich history of leader ship in timekeeping.”
said it was only performing a humanitarian mission, adding that it normally tries to give ill passengers their privacy but was unable to in this case because the flight was virtually full.
Cow-a-Banga The Austrian province of Vorarlberg announced it is ending the practice of blowing up dead cows in order not to upset tourists. Because of the rugged terrain, when cattle die on the province’s Alpine pastures, heli copters have usually been needed to remove the remains. They cost $956 a trip, however, so farmers began hiring demolition experts to place explosives inside the cadavers and blow them up for
Arthur P. King Sr., 41 died either from suffocation or starva tion when he became trapped in the ductwork at a factory in Racine, Wisconsin, apparently while trying to burglarize the place. After his body was found three months later by a worker who opened a vent door, Thomas Cloyd, the deputy chief medical examiner, said it appears that King removed an exhaust fan from over a chimney, then slipped his 5-foot-ll, 167-pound body into the 14-by-l4-inch square opening. He dropped about 10 feet, but once he got past the roofline, the chimney narrowed because it was lined. “It’s a smooth tile,” Cloyd told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “There’s nothing to grab and pull yourself up with. The more you struggle, the farther down you slip.”

I t i I ernigan, we’ve signed up for a co-ed softball 1 league,” Veronica I announced as I drove her and her husband to their regular I Friday night date at Halvorson’s. “It was Nigel’s idea — as I you might imagine — but now I I’m keen for a go at it!” My favorite Brits, Veronica I and Nigel, are working on I graduate degrees at UVM. They rent a cozy garage apart I ment in the Hill section. It seems like they’ve been here in I Burlington an inordinate length I of time, far longer than you’d imagine it takes to complete I even an advanced course of I study. i; Truth be told, I I think they’re besotted with the Colonies, I and may well be I dragging out the course work as an I excuse to stay put. I They’ve taken to American life like 1 marmalade on scones at afternoon tea; it’s I been that perfect a fit. “Nigel,” I said, “you sure you’re ready for this big L step? This isn’t like cricket, ya know. Don’t be showing up to the first game dressed in some dandy, allwhite, English schoolboy get-

on to more important matters, what did you think of Varitek’s walk-off home run the other night? Absolutely brilliant, wouldn’t you agree?” Nigel, who never even saw a baseball game before arriving in the States, is now a huge fan. Like most of us up here, he roots for the Red Sox, God help him. “Yeah, that was a thing of beauty,” I responded. “And wasn’t that Varitek’s first homer of the season? Did I get that right?” “It certainly was,” he replied. “And it couldn’t have come at a more opportune moment. W hat a smashing play!” Talking baseball with Nigel
They’ve taken to
up after his cool reaction: For him, I learned, wood dart frogs are no laughing matter. Now I try to be serious about the whole business, but it isn’t easy. “Champion, Jernigan — champion! Last week, I pur chased a new female, so with any luck, we’re looking at a new generation come summer.” “Well, congratulations, and best of luck with the breeding program,” I offered, thinking, Oh, my God! The babies would be the size of — what? — microdots? For all his affini ty with American culture, it occurred to me, Nigel is still a bit of an “eccentric English man.” “W hat about the summer?” I asked, as we wove through downtown, the streets bustling with people. “Any big plans?” “Funny you should ask,” Veronica replied, “because this week end we’re off to Sears. They’re hav ing a seasonal sale, and we have our eye on a big, beautiful . Kenmore gas grill. Last year we got into barbecuing, and this summer we plan on pulling out all the stops.” “You should come over for the July 4th weekend,” Nigel jumped in. “We’re putting on an Independence Day blow out. There will be a barbecue, a couple of kegs and, of course, fireworks in the evening. We get a wonderful view from our backyard. We’re going for the ‘Full Monty,’ I daresay.” That settles it, I thought, as I took in their gleeful smiles. By hosting a celebration of America’s independence from the Motherland, they cross a Rubicon of some sort. W hat would Queen Elizabeth say?! So now it’s official: Veronica and Nigel have gone native, the Earl Grey traded in for the Nescafe. Ta-ta, Old England, whassup, New England. Come July 4, it will be down with the Union Jack, up with Old Glory. I daresay, they may never go back. ®

Rushmore-like, with giggles "punctuating every other word. . “As his wife of five years, I can assure you that Nigel is any thing but a dandy!” “All right, guys, you win,” I said, all three of us now crack ing up. “I’m convinced that Nigel will show up looking completely indistinguishable from his slobby, disheveled teammates.” “I’m glad we cleared that up,” Nigel said. “Now, moving

He’s picked up an amazing amount of baseball knowledge consider ing he didn’t know an E.R.A. from an I.R.A — or tbel.R.A., for that matter — when he got here, but he mingles all these English expressions into the discussion. I mean, Varitek’s game-winning dinger was a lot of things, but “smashing” doesn’t immediately come to mind as the classic adjective. Although it was quite literally a smash, now that I think about it. “Hey, how about a froggy update?” I asked. “How are the little guys doing?” Nigel collects and raises wood dart frogs — tiny, bril liantly colored critters, maybe an inch or so long.

By S usan Green espite wars, pestilence and other dis tractions, one good thing you can say about humankind is we sure know how to “pitch a wang dang doodle all night long,” as the old Willie Dixon song suggests. The pagans excelled at agricultural events, nature rituals and celestial obser vances. Then various religions got in on the act, followed by special interest groups and nonprofit organizations. With festi vals, cultures celebrate their unique lega cies and nations honor their nationhood. The world over, we simply love to party with our neighbors in public places — preferably outdoors. In Vermont at the start'of the third millennium, festivals have proliferated far beyond previous norms. Particularly in the scant warmer months, a weekend does not go by without someone throwing up a tent, firing up the grill and luring the kid dies with a promise of face-painting. Organizers generally offer some theme to give their events a hook. The arts, of course, are a natural, and food comes in a close second. Festival ideas can be quite serious or silly, from Stravinsky to sweet potatoes. In the ever-expanding search for new excuses to party, we will some day See festivals dedicated to inchworms, aci dophilus yogurt or laser eye surgery. Like magazines, festivals have been launched to represent nearly every imagi nable interest. If it exists, the reasoning apparently goes, why not gather to sing its praises? But with so many partisans anx ious to honor their favorite endeavor, pas time or food, the brevity o f a Green

So, the following year she moved her activity back a week, only to learn that it conflict ed with something at the Sheldon Museum in Middlebury. “Now, I have to call around to find a date,” she explains. The Wool Festival might seem a some what itchy focus for July. Yet it’s a fine time for recognizing the early 1800s, what Williamson calls “the golden age of sheep,” when Addison County boasted 11 million of the ruminant mammals. To acknowledge the golden age of fes tivals, then, here’s a survey of some preem inent — and a few offbeat — “wang dang doodles” around the state this summer. It is by no means comprehensive, so keep

On the other hand, we could devote a lifetime to thank ing farmers for all the lovely pastures that help keep the state so green. Got milk? Info, 933-5921. June 2 — At the Mutt Strutt in Stowe, pooches reign supreme. The one-day fundraiser to benefit the North Country Animal League is an opportunity to walk your own dear Fido, or a lonely canine from a shelter. Jackson Arena is the site, hosting a scavenger hunt, agility demon strations and competitions that might call for those fabled puppy uppers and doggie downers of “Saturday Night Live” fame.

Brattleboro’s Fort Dummer State Park tranforms itself into a typical English village of that era to resem ble what it would have been like during a visit from Queen Elizabeth — as in the Elizabethan Age — and her court.

This year’s line-up includes the legendary Dave Brubeck, James Carter, Dave Holland, Marcia Ball and Los Hombres Calientes. To quote poet Carl Sandburg, “Drum on your drums, batter on your banjo, sob on the long cool winding saxophones. Go to it, O jazzmen.” And jazzwomen. Info, 863-7992. June 10 — The Vermont Blues & Jazz Festival, now in its fourth year, has had a name change after merging with the Vermont Sustainable Living Fest. Henceforth, the combined event will be known as — what else? — Mr. Opie’S Magical Vermont Get-Together. Ya Ya Mambo, Burma Jazz and Sandra Wright are among the performers. Solar trailers and live raptors are among the environ mental exhibits. Ultimate Frisbee is anoth er attraction. It all transpires in Tunbridge. Info, 296-3888. June 11- 16 — The Celebration of Peonies is a way for visitors to enjoy the blossoming season at Hildene, a 24-room Georgian-style colonial estate that was the summer home of Abraham Lincoln’s old est son from 1905 to 1926. Long before Chairman Mao coined the phrase to indi cate a totalitarian crackdown, Honest Abe’s boy “let a thousand flowers bloom” on his 412 acres in Manchester. The
peonies, which range from pale pink to deep burgundy in a formal garden that was designed to resemble stained glass, will also be appreciated in photography workshops and painting classes. Info, 362-1788. June 1 4 -1 7 — T h e 4 ls t annual American Society of Dowsers Convention is essentially a festival of extrasensory perceptions. While nobody can explain precisely how this form of div ination works, the methods will be exam ined in lectures and workshops on water, map, agricultural and treasure dowsing. Plus, open-minded participants can learn about feng shut, chakra and aura balanc ing, earth energies, labyrinths and runes. People with profoundly unbalanced chakras might prefer peonies. Info, 684-3417. June 16 — The Vermont Pride Festival features a rally, parade and, well, gaiety on the Burlington Waterfront all day long. But in fact the celebration includes speak ers, rallies and parties around the state through the month of June, beginning with a march through Montpelier and rally on the Statehouse lawn June 3.

June 23 -24 — The Summer Revels & Solstice Festival — in Norwich one day and Woodstock the next — concentrates on traditional entertainment, such as shape-note singing, medieval spring carols, Italian madrigals and Eastern European melodies, as well as dance styles ranging from contra to Morris to clogging. This year’s featured performer is Meg Ryan — no, not the movie star, but a top English clog dancer. This event, with an agricul tural village fair atmosphere, also crowns a Corn King and Queen. That’s corn, folks, not porn. Info, 603-298-8913.
Vermont Quilt Festival in Northfield is all about lovely, handmade bed coverlets, 400 of which will be on display. Info, 485-7092.

July 4 — One might assume that The Ghost Walk is more suited to Halloween than Independence Day, but Peacham Historical Association president Lorna Quimby points out that “spooky is not what we do.” Instead, they select townspeople who are long gone and, in a day light visit to their graves, enlist the living to speak for the dead. This year, the enactors will repre sent Colonel George Harvey, an ambassador to the Court of St. James during the Woodrow Wilson presidency, and two butterprint makers from the 1900s. Although the cemetery is also the final resting place of Quimby’s great-grandfather, who fought in the Civil War, he apparently did not leave behind enough infor mation to make the cut.

July 14 — The Ferrari Festival will rev up with 20 of the upscale autos from around New England in a downtown Burlington parade.

nce labeled the state’s Smithsonian for its distin guished collection of American folk art, Vermont’s Shelburne Museum is fast fashioning a new reputation for state of the art. To update its image — and thereby attract broader audi ences — the institu tion is beginning to display its familiar treasures with a more ^ modern twist. But how does a country museum change with the times without corrupting a beloved collection? 1 The answer, its seems, is to put the juxtapo sition on exhibition. O n July 1, a month later than originally scheduled, the muse um will open “The Collector’s House: Response to the New Century,” which pairs radical new interpre tations of architecture with the comforting A decor of yore. The outside o f the house is an 80 x 20-foot steel warehouse; the loft like interior will house weathervanes, decoys, miniature carvings, decorative quilts and rugs. Museum President Hope Alswang, who left a New York career in 1997 for what she calls the “opportunity o f a lifetime” at the Shelburne, explains that the deci sion to re-package the past was part o f a concerted effort to

tution’s history,” Alswang explains, “you take greater aes thetic risks, open the windows and doors and let fresh air in — spark new discussion and debate among visitors, like, ‘W hat is a house?’” W ith 45 park-like acres host ing 38 American houses, some of which date back 10 generations, the Shelburne Museum is wellsuited to question the future of “home sweet home.” Besides, it’s not totally out of character for the institution, opened to the public in 1952, to push buttons and boundaries. Its founders — the mother-and-daughter team of Louisine Havemeyer and Electra Havemeyer Webb — pas sionately pursued what others dismissed. The Havemeyers led American interest in Impres sionism, at first a controversial movement. “I’d like to believe that Ms. Havemeyer was considered avant-garde,” she says. “She comes from a great heritage of people who were unorthodox in their ability to take a risk on art when others thought folk art was trash and Impressionism was decadent.” Webb herself would have been an ideal resident for the Collector’s House. “The thing about folk art is scale. It’s big and doesn’t lend itself to a con ventional household setting,” Alswang explains, noting that Webb used to display her expan sive collection on the tennis courts. In fact, the Collector’s House sits between the Welcome Center and the Webb House —a modern bridge to the founder’s history, as it were. V ’ ~ Essentially, the new exhibit imagines the ayant-garde 21stcentury home of a 19th-century

continued from page 13a American folk art collector. To create the contradiction, Alswang paired a couple of contrasting trail-blazers: radical residential architect Adam Kalkin and the elder statesman of American interior design, Albert Hadley. Both men were present at the Shelburne Museum last week to check on the buildings progress and to speak at a design sympo sium for board members and museum supporters. The 38-year-old Kalkin was recently featured in The New York Times Magazine with his own 4000-squarefoot galvanizedsteel warehouse-like abode in Bernardsville, New Jersey. For both his home and the Collect-or’s House, he used prefabricat ed and recycled materials. The out-
Kalkin is philosophical about his pragmatic aesthetic. “The way we use houses is not how they are designed,” he elucidates. “This is the reality of the way people live. The big vertical space is very liberating; our houses tend to be so box-like.” And expensive. But Kalkin’s structure costs a mere $70,000. “I had a fantasy of building these low-cost things, using industrial junk,” he says. He’s also turning his inspiration into a book of drawings, titled The Butler Variations, due out this summer. “You can build these cheaply, with minimum amount of fuss,”

side is fashioned from Butler steel — the same company that builds Wal-Marts. In the absence of traditional walls, bedrooms and dens are crafted from ship ping containers, which Kalkin points out are in abundance these days since the United States is importing more than export ing. The open kitchen-living space takes center stage and is flanked by huge, garage-door- ? styled glass windows — blurring the line between home and gar den.
Kalkin continues. “It’s priced on imagination, rather than the -j*, usual finish and glop.”: ; , Alswang asserts that the sf u structure offers a way for V e r^ r; monters, if not all Americans, to reflect on the issue of housing, “This is not a state that has; ; em b raced coo tern porary.architec ture,” she notes. “We’re not prq-; posing that this is an answer,: but rather a way to use materials in a new, exciting way.

Walking through the empty structure, he already knows what he wants and where he wants it. He sees shelves for various folk paintings and arti facts, as well as some unexpected objets d ’art, like carousel figures. The plan is to complement the “strong axis” with traditional fur nishings. “Adam and I were talking about it,” Hadley says, “and I seem not to be afraid of the strength of this whole sculpture — to play with it.” It’s not entirely unexplored territory for Hadley, since he also decorated Kalkins New Jersey home. In the Times’feature, Kalkin credited him for making the place “much richer and more accessible to people who might not otherwise understand it.” In turn, Hadley called Kalkin’s home “a living sculpture in the landscape.” But will this structure undermine or distract from the Shelburne Museum’s historic landscape? No way, says Kalkin, whose mother is a member of the Board of Trustees. He sees it as a fitting building for the museum, con sidering its history. “The museum is a collection of old buildings, some kind of utopia, a place that never existed before,” he details. “Webb imported these buildings and gave them a relationship that never existed. She brought things together that preexisted to make something new.” He adds that while museums tend to be exclusive cultural domains, “the Shelburne has made something that’s open and that’s accessible without using the popular cultural idioms and vulgarities. To me that’s a rare museum — not nostalgic, it’s a living thing, and doesn’t have the ambiance of a bank vault.” For Alswang, the issue was to find a way to use the intellectual capital of the institution to plot a more unique course. “It’s not a science,” she remarks. “It’s a reactive process. We look at our artifacts and ask what is it that these things say and what can we do with them.” (Z)

Thrills and spills at the Burlington Skate Park By J eremy Kent he sport of skateboarding is well-guarded at the Burlington Waterfront: behind chain-link fences, inside a steel yard of rails and concrete. Some people might miss the grace and commitment of these kids, with their casual attitudes and saggy jeans soaked with sweat and full of kneeholes. But curious passersby on the bike path often stop and grab a link of fence to have a look. The Burlington Skate Park brings skater and spectators alike to the free-wheeling scene at the Waterfront. The first year of the municipal parks presence has * heightened recognition — even respect — for local skaters. With a new high-caliber competition in June and warmer weather on its way, summer 2001 promises to bring the level up yet another notch.
T
Visit the park on a busy day and there are some things you will nearly always witness. Some kid with a bloody knee. One or more skaters flirting with athletic genius. The “tink” of a skate board truck on the steel coping — skaters knock the metal or wood on their board to celebrate somebody pulling off a trick. As people fill the park to capacity, the better skaters gain momen tum. The skate tribe feeds off each others’ efforts, elevating the sessions. Unless they skated to the park from some distance, kids coming from school or work need a little time and momentum to get in the zone. “When you skate a park like this, especially one with a lot of people around, you have to calculate people’s trajectories without even seeing them ,” testi fies Nate, a Burlington regular at the skate park who wouldn’t reveal his last name. This Jedi-
force awareness is just one of the compelling dimensions of park skating. The facility’s challenging ter rain is, of course, another. A halfpipe adjacent to the park’s entrance offers skaters and in- i liners a place to work on their pipe tricks. Inside the park are lots oi boxes and rails for end less hours of trials. The west side contains several ramps, called “transitions,” and a half pool for people who can pull it off. While the box and rail area were designed for beginners, skating skills vary all over the park. “I think everyone in the world should learn how to skate,” suggests one rider enthu siastically, clutching a chewed-up deck that has seen better days. Kids new to Burlington’s skate park might take it for granted, but the place was 11 years in the planning. Back in

Hot Wheels Drop in to see some serious comp at the first-ever Burlington Skate Park Open, June 16, noon —7 p.m. Skaters of all ages and abilities can enter both street and mini-ramp competitions. The Fiveboro professional skate team — representing the hot New York gear and clothing line for the skate and hip-hop scene — will also put on an afternoon demo. The entry fee is $10. Levels: 12 and under, 13-17, and 18 and over. Register at the B Side or Burton Factory Store in Burlington, or the day of the event at the park, starting at 10 a.m. Kids under 18 need a parent or guardian present to sign a waiver. Rain date: June 17.
1989, kids with day-glo shirts and cool shoes were looking for a place to skate. A resolution passed by the city council estab lished a task force, which in turn recommended building a skate park off Manhattan Drive. It was
to be on top of a landfill, but, as it turned out, this needed about 10 to 20 years to settle. The issue lost steam; nothing much hap pened, officially, for years. But complaints and concerns about skaters on the Church
Street Marketplace were constant reminders that they needed a city-sanctioned place to go. In a unique twist of the democratic process, skaters pounded on the steps at City Hall until the local government heard, and heeded, the message. In 1996 a new task force, including many skaters, eventually settled on the current site for the Burlington Skate Park. But there was plenty of opposition to this location — particularly noise concerns from' adjacent residents — and to its users. It took four more years before the park was actually built. “I think, unfortunately, a lot of the issues we were dealing with in this process were percep tions,” says Bob Whalen, super intendent of Park Planning and Development. A 23-year veteran of the City’s growing Depart ment of Parks and Recreation, Whalen — known around the office as B-Dub — spends much of his time negotiating the cre ation of projects such as the skate park and the new fishing pier. For a while, some skaters found temporary relief at interim quarters — affectionately called “Ghetto Park” — on Home Avenue. Others simply left. “Because it was such a long, drawn-out process,” says Whalen, “we had a lot of turnover with people who were involved with it, particularly the skaters. They literally grew up and went off to college.” But finally, beginning last summer local skaters were
able to leave their shifty back yard ramps behind. Having a bona fide park shared by lots of skaters, though, necessitated a new code of conduct. For the most part, skaters do their best to keep order inside the fence — any trouble is caused by kids who don’t really come to skateboard, they say. The lack of negative incidents at the park so far is a testament to skaters’ ability to Self-police. Actual etiquette, on the other hand, might take some time. “W hat are you going to do, put a sign up that says ‘Learn the unwritten laws?”’ asks one skater during a recent visit to the park. Most seasoned skaters can’t recall exactly how they learned the rules of riding. But it’s a school of hard knocks, and it doesn’t take long. “Kids can expect to get occa sionally run into and yelled at,” says another veteran park skater. “That’s just how you learn.” Some recent advice from locals: Step one way, never stop. Don’t get blinded by the head lights. If you fall, get out of the way. Lean your board over the edge to show you are going next. And this, from another anony mous rider: “Lotta speed, lotta style, smile for the camera.” While young, uninformed skaters can be a nuisance, the regulars seem to be tolerant. “I like it around here,” offers “Big John” Van Hazinga, owner of Ridin’ High Scoot and Skate on
Church Street. “The kids don’t have big heads, it’s more of a humble scene.” A San Diego T native and 16-year veteran of the sport, Van Hazinga has skated all over the country. Other skaters will tell you, however, that his real credentials come in his skat ing-related injuries: a broken femur, assorted head and elbow gouges, a 35 mph road rash and, at the age of 13, a little run-in with a moving car. Van Hazinga hears lots of feedback on the skate park. Kids wish the park was open longer — like 24/7 — and was bigger, he says. The park can get pretty crowded, according to the skaters, some of whom believe rumors that much of the park’s budget went to the neighboring hockey rink and sound walls used to keep residential neighbors appeased. The truth is, the rink and walls combined cost less than the $60,000 spent on skate ramps. The whole park project, from design to construction, cost nearly $250,000. Complaints about the size of the park may soon be resolved as additional skate parks are con structed in surrounding towns. According to Whalen, Colchester is considering a site for a tempo rary park while a more perma nent plan is established. Projects in other towns, such as Milton and St. Albans, may help the Burlington park settle into its 45person limit. Meanwhile, skaters will just have to find their space and share the air. ©

Who would have guessed Vermont would steal the national and world scene yet again? And now that the political coup has happened, we are only beginning to understand the profound effects this rash decision may have. The complete effect will take months and years to com prehend, but, that aside, what does this really say about Jim Jeffords the man? As a firm independent sup porting good ideas on both sides of the political divide, one would expect I should be pleased to be able to attach my politics to one so many have supported and voted for time and again, includ ing myself. But I have deeply mixed emotions given the timing of Jeffords defection, and that it truly hurts the hopes and dreams of at least half of all Americans — Americans believing as I do that the political pendulum in the past eight years has moved too far left. There is a need for extremes to be pulled to center., and Republican rule would serve well the Founding Fathers’ revered concept of “checks and balances” that leads political thought to. a more moderate position. I believe Jim Jeffords has for saken a character trait, a prime principle that is honored by and transcends all political parties; that is, for our political leaders to be faithful to one’s confirmed allegiances, and defend their cov eted principles by working tena ciously to persuade others to V affirm them. ? r 5' J Jim has done some good and decent things for Vermont, but he has in fact betrayed his affili ated party that he effectively . pledged allegiance to. Further more, he betrayed)the honored prime principle he attempted to loft above reproach with words... that invoked the,ria®s of Aiken, Flanders, Gibson and Stafford. The vaunted principle of standing firm against all polit-
ical pressure that motivated JFK to write so eloquently of this courage, but clearly Jim showed little as he withered and retreated under White House pressure. Sadly, he turned his back on a party that for nearly three decades nourished and supported him in his most difficult political battles at home and at the national level. We are now hearing, and very prematurely, the word courage being spoken to describe and characterize Jim Jeffords act of defection. This surely is a politi cal spin embraced and propagat ed by a gleeful Democratic party. To gain a more viable and honest perspective, we would be wise to study the subject of polit ical courage from Kennedy’s Profiles in Courage, a Pulitzer Prize-winning text... — Robert Skinner South Hero LEAVE CIVIL UNIONS ALONE To the Vermont Legislature: Leave the civil-unions law as is. H.502 is not necessary for any one, and no one is asking for it. It repeals V erm o n t’s existing R eciprocal Beneficiaries law, passed last year to give blo o d rel atives certain legal benefits, like hospital visitation, and takes away the o p p o rtu n ity for blood relatives to enjoy these lim ited benefits w ith o u t subjecting them selves to all the responsibili ties o f m arriage — do sisters and brothers in such partnerships need to get a “divorce” if one o f th em decides to get m arried? O r if a sister in a brother-sister rela tionship has a baby d u rin g their p ^q ierslaip w ould the b ro th er ,, th en be presum ed the “father”^. T h ere is no need to repeal civil un io n s in order to expand benefits for blood relatives; the goal o f additional benefits for blood relatives could be m et by expanding the already existing R eciprocal B eneficiary law. M eanw hile, let com m itted and loving sam e-sex couples have their relationships dignified by the civil-unions law, w hich hu rts no one else and does n o th in g to d im in ish m arriage betw een a m an and a w om an.

B y C amden J oy here was a time, before George Herman “Babe” Ruth became the greatest hitter in the game of baseball, when he was merely the best lefthanded pitcher in the American League. Because Ruths zone of domination moved so swiftly from the mound to the plate, this transformation — which largely took place during the 1918 season — remains unparal
leled in the history of sports. Imagine if, overnight, Randy Johnson turned into Ken Griffey, Jr. — or if Michael Jordan, suc ceeding in his attempt to make the White Sox, went on to hit t .345 for 15 years. Even then, baseball scholars will remind you, for myriad reasoris, it wouldn’t compare to Ruth’s accomplish ment. Allan Wood is one such scholar. Wood, who grew up in Essex Junction but lives now in
New York, has been avidly fol lowing the Red Sox for over a quarter century. His recent book, 1918: Babe Ruth and the World Champion Boston Red Sox, is a richly detailed narrative of how Ruth’s unprecedented slugging brought the last world champi onship home to Fenway Park. The scope of 1918 is bigger than Babe Ruth; it is nothing less than the story of a season under siege.

Was the 1918 World Series Fixed? n his book, 1918: Babe Ruth and the World Champion Boston Red Sox, Allan Wood raises the possibility that gam blers “fixed” the 1918 World Series, as was done the follow ing year with the famous 1919 “Black Sox” Series. Wood’s evi ls dence, though entirely circumstantial, is persuasive. . . Boston came into the series exhausted, having concluded their season a day earlier with three straight doubleheaders. To the acknowledgment of all observers, they won the World Series T against the Chicago Cubs only by “luck.” The Cubs muffed routine plays and experienced uncharacteristic lapses on the basepaths. Chicago’s most reliable runners were picked off and their fine outfielders dropped fly balls. Inning after inning, they stranded men in scoring position, behaving altogether unlike themselves. A fair number of ballplayers associated with both clubs were later tainted by gam bling scandals; some were banned from baseball, others were quietly blacklisted from the game. As Wood writes: In the late 1800s and early 1900s, gambling and baseball were as inseparable as peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Admission to a game was first charged around 1860; reports o f suspected corrup tion surfaced about two years later. The National League was I* plagued by a game-throwing scandal in its second year o f existence, when four Louisville players conspired to lose the 1877pennant. An umpire was banished in 1882for advising gamblers how to bet
I
era, suspicions about the integrity o f the pennant races and the World Series were practically an annual occurrence. In 1903, Bostons Cy Young refused a bribe o f about nine times his annual salary to throw a crucial World Series game. Two years later, gamblers got to Philadelphia pitcher Rube Waddell, who missed the entire Series because he had supposedly tripped over a suitcase. Gamblers tried fixing the National League pennant race in 1908. There were serious doubts about the honesty o f the 1914 World Series, in which the Boston Braves swept the heavily favored Athletics, as well as the 1915 and 1916 National League races. In 1917, the Chicago White Sox gave money and gifts to players on both Detroit and St. Louis for tanking in games against them in September. Whenever a new allegation or rumor came to light, it was either hushed up or flatly denied, depending on who was making the accusation. When umpire Bill Klem, known for his upstanding reputation, revealed that he had been offered $3000 to make sure the New York Giants won their 1908 playoff game against the . Chicago Cubs, the National League appointed a committee to investigate. . ' ■ ■fftfJThe inquiry was supervised by John T. Brush — the owner o f the Tjtants. Unsurprisingly, Brush recommended that no further action be taken. (It was later discovered that the Giants’ trainer, who had political connections in New York, had bribed Klem.) In 1918, when the government closed the nations racetracks, gamblers swarmed to the ballparks to set up shop. Many o f them were intimate with both players and club owners; some gamblers even kept, a few players on weekly salaries. That year, there were ample motives for a fix. The World Series shares would be the smallest ever. No one knew i f or when baseball would be played again and players were worried about money and their families security. ■u On top o f that, the Red Sox and Cubs felt cheated by the National Commission, which had unilaterally decided to share their. World Series revenue with six other teams. Combined with the ■players’ well-justified antagonism towards their employers and the legions o f gamblers working in nearly every ballpark, the situation was ripe for exploitation and dishonesty. All o f this was happening at the end o f a decade soaked with greed, betrayal and anger, one o f the mo&pbtetthedly disorganized eras in baseball history. Given the circumstances, it is easy to understand how some players could have I to \ntertainthe idea o f a f i x ... **

enough for Ruth. It seems that anywhere he went, he nailed a pitch over the wall and out of the park, startling passers-by and smashing windows. No one in Fayetteville had ever hit a base ball further than Jim Thorpe until Ruth easily outdistanced him by 60 feet. In Hot Springs,
By skillfully weaving sports biog raphy into social history, Wood displays a patched-together pas time, its already crooked stitch ing unraveling further with the threat of war. He reveals how the Red Sox operated in the day when Fenway had its stands full of gamblers and adolescent peanut vendors, and Bostons coldhearted manager faced a clubhouse that was Firmly divided along religious lines. Thoroughly domi nating everyone’s attention was one col orful character: the crude, generous Ruth, something of a cross between a pig and a teddy bear, with a seem ingly insatiable appetite for liquor and women. Although Ruth has been the sub ject of countless biographies, he con tinues to intrigue researchers. The great mystery, the legend of the unbelievable Babe, begins with Ruth’s' impoverished upbringing. Historically, the lives of the poor are written in faint pen cil, easily smudged. Details are vague at best. Wood informs us that Ruth himself never even learned his own date of birth until he was almost 40 years old. Few noticed the street urchin slinking about the Baltimore waterfront at the turn of the cen tury until, having been sent to a Catholic reformatory, he was introduced to a ballfleld. W hy exactly was he sent to the reformatory? How did he come to be called “Babe?” Did his parents ever visit? How was his father killed? In a crisp ' ^ tone tinged with 1 healthy skepticism, Wood sets forth the Ruthian rumors and abundant contradic, tions. The legend, after ^ all, permits only so much clarification. As with Shakespeare or Elvis, the Babe simply pounced from the shad ows into the public eye. By the time he was brought to Boston in 1914, Ruth had already ^ established himself as the best southpaw pitcher around. He was also known to be a good hitter, but his team did not especially require this skill until rosters grew depleted in 1918. That year, for the first time in his major-league career, Ruth was positioned at something other one of Ruth’s home runs threat than pitcher. Playing first base or left field, Ruth took the opportu ened to knock the trolley off the tracks on the street outside the nity to show what he could do park. “Every home run he when permitted daily at-bats. launched during that season,” As Wood explains, most ball writes Wood, “was described by parks at the time were enormous the hometown press as ‘the — but none had been built large
longest hit ever seen on the local grounds,’ or some variation thereof.” It is difficult to understate the impact of Ruth’s crowd-pleasing power. The emergence of his casual skill at swatting homers ended what baseball historians traditionally refer to as “the deadball era.” That era featured an altogether different style of base ball. Scores were low. Games were thick with strategy. Starters frequently hurled complete games, includ ing extra innings, and pitching duels were the norm. Home runs were rare and almost always inside the park. When a ball was hit into the stands, the fru gal owners had it retrieved and put back in play. If a fan caught a ball and refused to surrender it, he was arrested for petty larceny. In 1918, however, the own ers had too many other headaches to chase down fans for balls. With the onset of World War I, players were rapidly being lost to enlistment and the draft. Factory teams and shipyard leagues offered pro ballplayers decent money to play as ringers. Worse yet, the baseball season came to be bracketed by the deadliest epidemic in human history. The outbreak of influenza — the so-called Spanish Flu — that began in Kansas in mid-March returned to the U.S. in September. Teams were devastated with illness. Owners couldn’t r fill their rosters. The fans stopped showing up. Through late July and early August, a heat wave killed infants, sickened many, and further weakened the teams. “Babe Ruth’s strategy for keeping cool in the dugout,” Wood notes, with typically charming specificity, i “was to place a chilled lettuce leaf under his cap.” In their heavy wool uni forms, the teams played daily, usually with one doubleheader a week. Their few off days were given over to exhibition games. They traveled between towns by unsteady railroad in small, stuffy compartments. Nothing was airconditioned. To open the win dow was to be “covered with soot and grime” from the train’s coal engine. The trips were excruciat-

ingly long — it took 20 hours, for example, for the Red Sox to reach Detroit. Boston’s strength that year was its pitching. They had a staff of steady, monosyllabic starters: Ruth, Carl Mays, Sam Jones, Joe Bush. The other players were occasionally great but too often streaky; whenever pitching fal tered in the slightest the Red Sox suffered setbacks and slumps. In the war-shortened season of 1918 (the World Series was played during the first week of September), they took the American League pennant by just two and a half games, and met the Chicago Cubs in the 1918 World Series. Every local sports fan recalls this as the last time Boston won baseball’s world championship, while Windy City fans know this as yet another series lost by the Cubs. (Although Red Sox fans say they’re cursed, the Cubs haven’t brought home a series pennant since 1908.) W hat’s sure to initiate blood boiling debates in barber shops all over New England is Wood’s contention that the Cubs may have intentionally thrown the series. Sox loyalists may wince, but the evidence appears pretty damning. (See sidebar.) Wood’s original research lends urgency to what is sure to become a classic sports book. The fleeting circumstances of baseball, its deceptive pace and sudden, petulant dramas, are rendered with a color and imme diacy rarely found in synopses of the game’s pre-radio days. ®

ure, the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh. But can he tango? One look at a videotape of a human-andhorse pair sidestepping to strains of Astor Piazzolla suggests getting to “grandmother’s house” may be an altogether outdated measure of equine achievement. “Tango” is part of a body of work being developed by a New York choreographer and a Vermont rider, which pairs mounted horses trained in dres sage with professional movers in the ring. Manhattan-based Joanna Mendl Shaw and Kate Selby of New Haven are co collaborators in “Dancing With Horses” — an equine endeavor featured this month in Dance
S
magazine. Launched by a meet ing last year at the Vermont Mozart Festival, their unique partnership will yield one of the more intriguing interspecies arts events of the summer. It would certainly delight Edgar Degas, anyway — the French painter and sculptor w h o is best known for his depictions o f dancers and race horses. One can only presume he was drawn to the similarities between the two pursuits: the training, th e anticipation of performance, the notion of the body as instru ment. But Degas never put his two favorite fascinations in the same tableau. Shaw and Selby have fused them into what may be a new art form. “We’d like to think were on the cusp of something,”
says Shaw, a founding member of the Bill Evans DafidS * Company who specializes in “site-specific work” and has served as a choreographic coach to ice skaters, Rollerbladers and gymnasts. Her fascination with the relationship between horses and human beings didn’t “come out of a pubescent fascination,” she insists. “I am trying to touch on the visual beauty of the juxta position and also the-symbolic power and the emotional con tent of the partnership.” Although she acknowledges Spanish precedents, Shaw made her first equine art |vork three years ago, when M ount Holyoke commissioned her to choreo graph a piece in celebration of

the 20th anniversary of its fivecollege dance department. Coincidentally, the college boasts excellent dance and equestrian programs — fields both domi nated by women in numbers, but by men in terms of power and visibility. Shaw, an alumna, decided to forge a connection between the programs. She made “Body on Body” using a group of student dancers and riders, and the final piece features a cast of women in Victorian dresses dancing among the mounts. The piece brought up plenty of issues about gender and sexuality, and generated a fair amount of local publicity. But Shaw laments the horses served more as props than part ners. Her more recent work strives to enlist the animals as artistic equals. The visual effect is dramatic, whether the piece is set to Bach, R.E.M. or the soundtrack from The Lion King. A tremendous amount of running is involved — especially for grounded, bootwearing dancers negotiating the sandy soil of the arena that serves as stage. Sometimes the dancers seem to be pursuing the horses, other times they are nuzzling them or imitating their move ments. If you can get past the contrast in size, and species, their interplay calls to mind a tradi tional pas de deux. In fact, th re e m overs are inv o lv ed in th is p e rfo rm in g rela

with her horse. A combination of what Shaw and Selby call “deep listening” and enhanced “movementintelligence” can intensify the relationship between human and horse. That is what motivates equestrian types to sign up for the clinics the two women are offering in Vermont this July. “Its body awareness,” says Selby, who coaches the equestrian team at Middlebury College. “The hors es feel everything we do. They are by nature deeper feeling and deeper listening animals than humans. We are inevitably the partner who is lacking.” It looks like a pretty good match between Selby and Hector, the 16-year-old Trakehner she saddles up for a solo spin at the Equestry — the stable she owns and operates in New Haven. Not only does the horse have a natural sense of rhythm while moving to a haunt ing selection of Celtic vocal music, but he points his hoofs when he trots. Suddenly he’s prancing on a diagonal. Then he’s spinning around in tight cir cles. ' “Hector is one hell of an athelete,” Shaw says, “but he is also a dancer. It’s Kate’s job to keep him in good shape: things like maintaining an even balance of his muscular strength from right to left, keeping his hip joints loose, making sure that he is working with a good balance of strength and flexibility. These are all things that dancers work on. " That list also includes improvisation — no matter how well trained they are, horses are ultimately unpredictable. They don’t memorize, either, and can get spooked by a number of things, like wind or sudden movement. A veteran dressage performer, Selby has seen her share of jumpy horses, adding, good riders are used to dealing with glitches.
The dancers are definitely at a greater disadvantage here. Darting around a 1200-pound animal — with two left feet — is potentially hazardous, and adds an element of danger you don’t get at the ballet. But there is nothing circusy about this work. No bareback babes or balancing acts. In compiling a repertoire, Shaw and Selby are focusing more on the educational than the entertaining aspects of equine artistry. And their clinics — which have already been well received in Long Island — are a whole lot easier to take on tour than a herd of horses. The Flynn Center in Burlington may be able to assist with that challenge. It has already hired Selby and Shaw to teach a series of workshops for dancers and riders this summer that will culminate in a small public performance to live, improvised music in mid-July. A larger, more elaborate work of equestrian art is planned for next year. Shaw supplies the dancers. Selby rounds up the riders. It doesn’t take an impre sario to picture the picnicking potential. Speaking of summer institu tions, this year’s demonstration falls four days after the grand opening of the Vermont Mozart Festival, which always kicks off with a presentation of traditional dressage to recorded music. Shaw was called in last year to help with the choreography — it’s how she met Selby. But so far the powers have said “neigh” to incorporating dance into the dis play. (Z) “Dancing with Horses — for Dancers” meets Thursday, July 5, 10 a. m. to 6 p.m. at the Equestry in New Haven. “Dancing with Horses — for Riders” runs Friday through Sunday, July 6-9. The informal public “performance” is Thursday, July 19, 6 p.m. Info, call 863-8778.

T ra c k Cheap motels, homemade pie, good ferries. A cyclist explains why he’s “ Keene” on New York By George T habault
S
ILLUSTRATION: PAULA MYRICK
enator Jim Jeffords showed everyone last week that changing directions can make for a very interesting trip. The same is true for Vermont bicyclists who search the region each summer for quieter roads and new vistas. This might be the year to file away your Vermont Gazetteer and consider heading west, across the big pond. Is there a quicker way to leave northwestern Vermont’s increas ingly snarled roads and impatient motorists in the dust than to coast down King Street and catch a ride on the hour-long ferry to Port Kent, New York? Doubtful. The other side of Lake Champ lain is like an exotic, far-off country in many ways: Things are cheaper, the pace is a lot slower, radio reception is lousy, there’s a lot less traffic and, though you might find plenty of cheer in a local bar, you can bet nobody there will know your name. O ur neighbor across the lake, in fact, offers nearly the opposite
of Chittenden County’s superpumped economy. Over there, sprawl is something you do near the TV. Downtowns don’t have anchors, except if the local water ing hole has a nautical theme. Houses often sport the same “For Sale” signs year after year. On the up side, it’s a great place for cycling. .My favorite ride is the 35 miles or so between the ferry dock at Port Kent and Keene Valley in the center of the High Peaks area. I’ve done it about eight times, twice in the month of June, the rest during August. The main road, Rt. 9N, hugs the Ausable River for quite a ways, making for some great views. Plus, you’ll find it safer than a lot of Vermont highways — it’s got wide shoulders, gentle turns and tourist-appreciating motorists. V I’d recommend this trip for anyone looking to savor a gasfree getaway — whether or not you’re a tree-hugging, energy conscious environmentalist. You can find good, cheap food along the way, inexpensive lodging, if you need it in the vicinity of
Keene, and a variety of satisfying hiking trails if you want to stay an extra day and inhale some of that alpine air. Based on my survey of 2001 prices, I’d estimate a cost of under $60 per adult for a twoday outing covering 70 or 80 ^ biking miles.
Idike to catch the late-morn-Y ing ferry out of Burlington, around 10:30 or 11, to get a nice high sun and warmer air on the crossing. Well, actually, the real reason is that this departure puts me at the D & H Freight House Eatery in Ausable Forks after the lunch rush, for my first extended
break about 15 miles into the trip. This is not a race, after all. Let the ferry traffic take off ahead of you, and the road is j yours. There’s a back way into Keeseville, the first stagnant town on the trip, but you can easily connect with the main road to Keene Valley, 9N south, and take

A woman asked me, “Are you in the Ironman?” Quickly sucking in my gut and beaming, I answered, “Ma’am, I need to get your full name right now; you’re going in my will!” Twelve miles or so past Jay you’ll find the hamlet of Keene, about 30 miles or so from Port Kent, and it’s here that you’ve got to make a decision about over night lodging. The Woodruff Motel, with about 12 cabins, is the only choice in Keene, but about five miles further you’ll find the Hostel in Keene Valley, which opened last year, with 10 cheaper dorm-style beds. Let’s be honest here: If The Woodruff were on Shelburne Road, it would be condemned. As you look over it for the first time, with its frayed-at-the-edges bungalows, dirt-filled ex-pool, haphazard landscaping and seem ingly absentee management, your first thought can only be: Alfred Hitchcock died too soon. But first impressions are not that important to co-owner and manager Tom Kennelly, who took over the place in 1978 with his mother and other relatives. They run an “affordable, cozy, clean and comfortable place,” insists Tom. He likes the typical visitor: a hiker who leaves early in the morning, comes back

expensive unit, plus taxes. There are 16 units, but only 12 are rented out. Let Tom know if you’re heading his way, at 518576-4551. “We’re filling up fast for the summer, so people should call ahead,” he says. But don’t expect anyone to answer. Just leave your name and number on the message machine. Perhaps the best feature of the Woodruff is its location right across the street from Monty’s Elm Tree Inn, the best — and maybe the only — place in Keene to get a good hamburger and a cold beer. Things haven’t changed too much at Monty’s, either, says waitress Stacy Hulbert. “We’ve got the same cook, the same staff that we’ve had the last couple of years, the same menu and pretty much the same prices.” That means cheeseburgers are still $3.75, beer a bit less. The Hostel in Keene Valley got high marks from our crew last August. The hostel is only a year old, with a nice kitchen, two bathrooms and plenty of hot water. Owners Dave and Cynthia Johnson charge $18 per person per night, fresh towels and linens included, or $15 for the camp site. “You can rent the whole hostel, and bring 10 or 12 peo ple, for $130 a night,” Dave says. You can also do laundry at no

W ithin easy walking distance from the Hostel are restaurants like the Ausable Inn or the vege tarian-friendly Cliffhanger Cafe and, just.across the street, the Noonmark Diner opens at 6 a.m. The hefty breakfast special runs $6.25; go early, because the place jams up on the weekend. That’s the rundown on a bike route filled with great views, swimming holes, food joints and cheap places to stay. I’m sure there are other great roads over there — after all, the Adirondack Park has more acreage than Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon com bined. Though I like to return back to Port Kent the same way, you can also go through Elizabethtown and catch the Essex-Charlotte ferry home. From Keene Valley it’s about 30 miles to Essex, and another 15-mile ride back to Burlington — unless someone meets you at the ferry. A final tip: For extra safety on a long road trip, I use one of those orange flags that reach above my head from the ba’ck wheel. The weight is a paltry addition, and I believe that the sooner motorists know I’m there, the better. Oh, and always wear a helmet. That goes for you, too, Jim. ®

derided the Rutland Herald upon winning a Pulitzer Prize for edito rials on civil unions: Patsy’s mov ing to San Diego shortly, but for quite some time he’s sounded like a California Republican. -• Waiting in the crowd of more than 600 in the Radisson lobby last Thursday was one Republican who knows a lot about switching political parties. In 1996, Jack Long, a Burlington attorney, was the Democratic candidate for Congress. He lost big. Most Democrats voted for Bernie Sanders, the Independent incum bent. So Jack switched to the Republican Party when he ran in 1998. At the time, no Republican called him Benedict Arnold. What was Jack Longshot doing at Jeezum Jim’s historic announcement? “I was there to support Jim Jeffords,” said Mr. Long. “I have great respect for him as an indi vidual and a representative of Vermonters.” As for Gasoline Vallee calling Jeezum Jim “Benedict Arnold,” Long told Seven Days, “It’s as if Skip Vallee had seen the Vermont Republican Party lying in a shal low grave and was unhappy about it. So he decided to grab a shovel and put it in a deeper grave.” Rest in peace! Congratulations, Walter! — While Jeezum Jim stole the spot light last week, the Vermont Republican Party was moving smoothly though the gears down in Montpeculiar. That’s where House Speaker Walt Freed sur vived a heart-stopping tie vote to win what is, beyond a doubt, the top achievement of the new GOP House majority. Freed and his right-wing hate squad won a real squeaker. They successfully passed legislation in the House that amounts to noth ing more than a printed insult to all Vermonters — heterosexual and homosexual — who proudly acknowledge “our common humanity.” Freed’s legislative record indi cates consistent opposition to civil unions. Last fall, Walt rode the crest of the right-wing Take Back Vermont wave to his tempo rary position of power. Last week he delivered for his troops. On Wednesday, Freed himself cast the tie-breaking vote to keep Princess Peg Flory’s goofy anti-civilunions bill alive. “Reciprocal Partnerships” would reduce civil unions to a legal category akin to dog licens es. Peg’s bill also answers the growing public outcry demanding the extension of marriage rights and benefits to mothers and sons, fathers and daughters. Princess Peg of Pittsford says she just wanted to “take the sex out of civil unions.” Bizarre. It’s such a despicable, rancid piece of intellectually dishonest spite. Congratulations, Republicans! Nobody can say you didn’t listen, right? "Yih This, folks, is the party that America’s hero of the moment 9 just left. Jim Jeffords has long been an unquestioned supporter of equal rights for all citizens, gay and straight. He supported civil m

m:tpaunions. Apparently anti-gay is the new litmus test for Republican Party membership? It should be noted, however, that of the 83 members of the House G O P caucus, there were nine brave Jim Jeffords-style Republicans who voted their con sciences on final passage of the Freed-Flory Folly. They were Judy Livingston (Manchester), Dick Marron (Stowe), Tom Little (Shelburne), Kathy Voyer (Morristown), Malcolm Severance (Colchester), Ed Amidon (Charlotte), Dave Rogers (Castleton), Dean George (Middlebury) and John Labarge (Grand Isle). Interesting. You see, Rep. Labarge is the House Republican leader. He was absent for Wednesday’s 69-69 vote. Freed’s tie-breaking “yes” vote kept it alive for a Thursday showdown. And the Squeaker knew Labarge would be back on Thursday. He also knew Labarge would vote “no,” because John Labarge had let it be known he was listening to his constituents, and his con stituents had no problem with civil unions. Sources say Walter put the squeeze on Democrat Dick Pembroke to change his vote. Freed threatened to drop support for Pembroke’s beloved Bennington Bypass if he refused. Why, Walt, you old arm-twister! It worked. Pembroke switched Thursday from a “no” to a “yes.” The bill passed 72-69. The Duke of Bennington sold his soul for a few miles of pavement. Tuesday, a Statehouse source called to report that Speaker Freed, our favorite Dorset mil lionaire, drove the antique Chevy Impala to work — and left his radar detector on the dash. . That’s Walt Freed for you. Leading by example!

Between the Lines — Sincere apologies to star Statehouse reporter Tracy Schmaler over remarks some misinterpreted in last week’s column concerning the Squeaker’s closed door policy. (I swear I’ll never mention Monica Lewinsky in print again as long as I live!) What some Statehouse regulars read between the lines was outrageous, wrong and not intended by yours truly. We’re reminded that dirt, like beauty, is in the mind of the reader. Lighten up. Press Secretary Departure — Congressman Bernie Sanders was all over the dial last week con cerning Jim Jeffords’ declaration of Independence. Actually, O f Bernardo’s been getting a lot of national exposure in the last cou ple years. Not to take away from Bernie’s rendezvous with destiny, but part of the credit for the exposure goes to David Sirota, the sharp and savvy twentysome thing who’s been Sanders’ Capitol Hill press secretary the past two years. Now David’s leaving to do likewise for Wisconsin Rep. Dave Obey, ranking Democrat on Appropriations. Obeys also a staunch opponent of dairy com pacts. ^ . Yo, Sirota, help him see the light, will ya? ®

leven artists comprise the second annual “Pick of the Litter” exhibit at Burlington’s Flynndog Gallery. Its subtitle is “ordinary materials, extraordinary artists,” and found objects play an important role in the show. But it’s not made up exclusively of found objects, so the reference to litter does n’t simply mean junk. Several of the artists have shown at the Flynndog before — perhaps they’re simply some of the Flynndog’s favorite puppies? No matter what the title means, many fine individual pieces appear. But there are also some weak spots, and unfortunate exam ples of artistic overkill in which quality is obscured by quantity. Jude Bond and Suse by Thomas Beale Mowrer both make art out of ladies’ under wear. This seems a dubious curatorial choice for a show not specifically about feminine skivvies. Mowrer stretches women’s foundation garments over lawn furniture, while Bond cuts and reassem bles white and off-white girdles, bras, panties, etc. into wall pieces that contain contrasting textures and shapes. Bond has also made monoprints from some of these, which are more interesting than the three-dimensional originals. “Unmentionables #2” has embossed areas in which the buckles and snaps of a rearranged girdle have added dimensionally to the paper. “Unmentionables #1” was pulled from the same object, but has more varied tonalities. Some of the strongest pieces in this show are, in fact, monoprints. Diane Gabriel’s contain the impressions of seeds, heartshaped leaves and large bird wings. “Cosmology #1” allows forms to break out of the square, as if the pressed objects were hung off the plate when print ed. These black and off-white images have a nice translucency. Gabriel also presents a sculptural wall piece — a female torso crafted from strips of bark, entitled “They Cannot Help But See.” The thin strips are arranged vertically, following the form like a vertical cross-contour drawing. A third collection of monoprints comes from Catherine Hall. “New Art For O ld ” is mostly a sprawling aggregate of pages torn from yellowed arthistory books, overprinted with simple shapes o f raw color. The installation is divided into three sec tions. The center section has stencils, flattened boxes, die-cut bits of plastic and cardboard dis
E
played on clear plastic, along with the relief prints they produced. There are 42 squares of object and print in the center, flanked by 66‘art history pages at right and dozens more to the left. Hall’s numbers seem excessive. Filling the spacious walls of the Flynndog with ad hoc arrangements of small pieces.
is probably tempting, but that approach buries the individuality of the little works. Jane Horner’s otherwise exquisite series of 56 tiny collages, collectively entitled “Each Part is as Complete as the Whole” ironically suffers for the same reason. A distracting ladder has been left next to the piece, as if to allow access to its upper reaches high up the wall. Perhaps fewer collages and no lad der would have been a more elegant solution? Also, like most artists who create large installations out of many small images, both Horner and Hall have chosen to price their small works individually — as if the large statement was less important than its constituent parts after all. If a multi-sectioned piece has conceptual unity, maybe it should remain indi visible despite the commercial difficulty of such a decision. Conversely, if “Each Part” really is as complete as the whole, why should the whole exist in the first place? Two paintings by Heather Tyme Ward executed on table tops as canvasses, and a mere five sculptures by Thomas Beale, also seem to confirm architect Mies van der Rohe’s assertion that “less is more.” Ward uses just a few hues of acrylic, spray paint and oil pastel to create her gutsy abstrac tions. “Heart Worthy” has four chambers of negative space, like the chambers of a heart, surrounded by a border of blackness. “Not the Holy Grail” allows decorative designs of the table top to remain as part of the composition. Beale’s unpretentious sculptures are made of shaped and laminated blocks of found wood. Even the two large-scale works have an organic familiari ty, rather than a perplexing air of mystery. One of them simply looks like a giant peanut, and that is enough to make it engaging. “Pick of the Litter” brings together many talent ed local artists, but the result' is a crowded, cluttered exhibit of mismatched mediums, arranged in a manner that shows few of them to their best advan tage.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay clearly hoped to transcend their dated, formulaic action origins and make a motion picture with social significance. They succeeded. The two may have done more to spare future generations the scourge of war than anyone in history. Wars, after all, lead inevitably to the making of big Hollywood movies about them and, faced with the prospect of more extravaganzas this superficial, hokey, sanctimonious and overlong, people dealing with global conflict are likely to try harder than ever to keep the peace. Let us pray, by the way, that Pearl Harbor is not “the movie of the summer,” as so many are calling it. I’d certainly hate to think things aren’t going to get a hell of a lot better than this in the course of the next 12 weeks. Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale star in Bay’s $140 million depiction of the 1941 Japanese attack and the havoc it wreaked on the love lives of three young Americans. (Fun fact: That $140 million is more than 10 times what the government spent to build the USS Arizona.) Like most films that are really just excuses for extravagant digital-effect displays, the movie has one or two powerhouse sequences and a whole lot of filler on either side of them. Early on, we watch as Affleck and Hartnett grow up together and share a fondness for airplanes and the idea of flight. Later, the best friends enlist in the military and become fighter pilots. Affleck and Beckinsale, who plays an Army nurse, fall in love, he volunteers to fly with the British and gets shot down. Which drives Beckinsale into the comforting arms of Hartnett and a whole new romance. At least until — surprise — Affleck returns from the dead and his old flame is forced to figure out how to handle the sudden boyfriend surplus, not to mention the fact that she’s become pregnant. Well, that’s the first 90 minutes — the entire run ning time of many movies. Bay could actually recoup a significant portion of his pictures cost by selling its first hour and a half to Lifetime as a detachable, self-
contained chick-flick. Just a thought. Finally, though, the Japanese arrive and pull the plug on the soap opera. The 35-minute centerpiece sequence is a state-of-the-art theater-rocker, evocative in places of both Saving Private Ryan and Titanic. (Though, as I’ve pointed out before, the hair-raising bullet effect employed in both war films was actually pioneered by Robert Zemeckis in Forrest Gump.) This is a director who specializes in action and explosions. Clearly, Bay had the time of his life pulling out all the stops. Historians have pointed to inaccuracies in the director’s portrayal of the surprise attack. (It was never intended to be a surprise, for example. A diplomatic snafu prevented the official warning which was intended.) But its power is beyond doubt. The sky darkens with war planes, bullets streak down in all directions, giant ships buckle, blow apart and slowly roll over. Chaos and carnage have seldom been ren dered as effectively. For a minute there, the terrible flesh-and-blood tragedy of what took place is painful ly palpable. Then the Japanese planes return to their carriers and we return to the Hollywood hokum already in progress, with its plot written in shorthand, its stickfigure characters, the macho posturing, dumb John Wayne dialogue and wooden performances from unconvincing, underfed twentysomething thespians. More than anything, Pearl Harbor conjures for me the idea of a high school drama club offering with a hundred-million-dollar second act. It’s just unbelievably ham-handed in places. So, what are you going to do? This sort of thing would appear to be the future of American film. The immediate future, anyway. Until audiences tire of movies that put computer effects before character, we’re going to get pictures like Twister, Godzilla, The Lost World and Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941. A date that will live in infamy. Something tells me the latest film inspired by it won’t fare all that much better, when it comes to the test of time. (7)

Dear Cecil, Why are the “seven deadly sins”so deadlyl You got your gluttony, envy, greed, etc. Those things, while not admirable, will not kill you. I mean, there’s no commandment in the Bible against pigging out. O f course, your lust kind o f fits in with the neighbor’s wife commandment, but still, what’s the deal with anger? — Ben Satohy Chicago They don’t mean deadly in the sense of putting you in physical danger, muttonhead; they mean destructive of your immortal soul. But it’s not hard to imagine scenarios in which gluttony, envy, greed and so on could get your lit eral butt in a bight, too. I can think of any number of par ties (rap artists, oppressed high school students, past NFL players) who might have benefited from a course in anger management. You raise a good point, though. I mean, how c|id sloth make the list? In a world of slaughter, fanaticism and pain we’re worried because somebody is taking too many naps? The seven deadly sins go back a long way, having got ten their start in Eastern monasticism. The fourth-century Egyptian monk Evagrius Ponticus defined eight deadly sins, which were later reduced to seven, presumably for the same reason there are seven sacraments, seven gifts of the Holy Spirit and seven dwarfs.

they condensed eight to seven by combining pride and vainglory.) But it hasn’t always been the same seven. The current heptad — pride, envy, anger, sloth, avarice, gluttony and lust — was fixed by Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century. Earlier, instead of sloth, there was accidie, often translated as sadness or listlessness. You’re thinking: Sadness? It isn’t bad enough I’m depressed in this life, I’m going to rot in hell for it in the next? I can only point out that the list was developed by desert monks living lives of “Survivor”-type privation. You got some slacker who’s not doing the dishes, you want the bastard to pay. To be strictly accurate, the preferred term isn’t seven deadly sins but seven capital vices, which better conveys the thought that the seven aren’t sins in themselves, merely habits or predilections disposing one thereto. This point was made by Saint Gregory the Great in the sixth century AD and later restated by Aquinas. But the term seven deadly sins survives for obvious reasons — it sounds a lot snappier.

In current thinking the seven really bad things do not loom very large. I notice in the official Catechism o f the Catholic Church, consisting of 2865 numbered sections and published in 1994 by order of Pope John Paul II, the capi tal sins warrant exactly one paragraph. The principal codi fication of moral transgression for Christians continues to be the Ten Commandments, upon which the catechism confidently excogitates, much as the Supreme Court finds guidance for cable TV regulation in a document written in 1789. Still, you can understand the impulse to find gradations in these things. Even now Catholics distinguish between mortal and venial sin. A mortal sin is one whose object is grave matter and which is also committed with fu ll knowledge and deliberate consent. If not repented, it condemns the sin ner to exclusion from Christ’s kingdom and the eternal death o f hell. Surely such punishment must be reserved for the most infamous crimes. Yet the catechism also tells us that on Sundays and other holy days o f obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass. Deliberate failure to meet this obligation is a grave, presumably mortal, sin, same as if you were Pol Pot. Dante tried to address this by positing nine cir cles of hell, with the minimum security, wear-a-security-bracelet-around-your-ankle-and-sleep-at-home part reserved for pagan poets, Sunday late sleepers and the like while the real badasses had to go farther down. This was strictly a literary conceit, but the catechism does retain the belief in purgatory, where the faithful do time for their nonmortal failings pending reunion with the communion of saints. I personally feel this is inadequate and think the seven deadly sins angle could stand revisiting. N ot that we want to stick with the same seven. Your greed, your gluttony, your lust and so on — maybe those ancient monks considered these great evils. I’m see ing the ingredients of an incentive program that works. — CECIL ADAMS

May 3 0 - June 6 ARIES.>(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I pre dict that the next 13 months will bring you invitations to grow in unexpected directions. Will you be alert to them? If so, by July o f next year you will have grown tougher but kinder, and this will greatly enhance your ability to get what you want without offending people. I also believe you’ll have become both more disciplined and less inhibited by then, and that will in turn fuel a period o f unprecedented creativity beginning in August 2002. Be on the lookout, Aries. The first glimmerings o f this well-balanced transformation will appear soon.
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-M ay 20): Your ring fingers are the least useful parts o f your hands, right? Yet much historical lore attributes a special sen sitivity to them. In medieval Europe, apothecaries believed their “leech fin gers” could detect when mixtures o f herbs had harmful qualities. It was also in that era that married couples first wore their wedding rings in the place where everyone does today. Both traditions originated in an even more ancient notion that a unique nerve links the fourth digit directly to the heart. I mention this, Taurus, because your ring finger is a potent symbol right now. As one example o f what it should move you to meditate on: A resource you believe to have marginal value may be essential in keeping your sympathy flowing and your feelings thriving.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): M ost people associate innocence with naivete. Conventional wisdom regards it as belonging to children and fools and rookies who lack the intelligence and experience to know the tough truths about life. But I pro pose a different definition, especially designed for your use in the coming weeks. Your innocence, Gemini, will be ripe and sophisticated. It’ll be based on a savvy understanding that the world is always changing, and therefore deserves to be seen fresh
JL m * n m o T t U

butt and smartly soothe your heart.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 every day. Your innocence will be fueled by your willful determination to empty your mind o f all preconcep tions and amp up your love for all o f creation. I can’t wait to see you tap into your primal reserves o f curiosity.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): I was kicking the crap out o f my TV the other day (having just zipped through 72 channels without finding a single scrap o f decent entertain ment), when suddenly I was pos sessed by the spirit o f Lucille Ball. I knew it was she because as soon as she settled in she unleashed her trade mark cackle. “D on’t kick your TV, Robbie baby,” she scolded. “H ug it. Kiss it. Compliment it. Same goes for anything that’s frustrating you or dis appointing you or making you feel insecure: D on’t hurt it. Be nice to it. Heal it, if you can. And by the way, Robbie baby, this advice applies to all o f your fellow Crabs as well as you. Tell ’em I said so.”
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): “I need moral support, artistic mentors, loyal friends and spiritual leaders,” writes Hannah J., a Leo reader from Philadelphia, “and I need them now!” O n the other hand, there’s Eric G., a Leo reader from Halifax, Nova Scotia. “Amazingly enough, I really do have all the help I need,” he claims. “What I want next are more constructive critics, good competitors who fight fair, loved ones who don’t automati cally think every thing I do is perfect and enemies who inspire me to become better.” I have good news for all you Leos: In the com ing weeks, you’ll have abundant opportunities to benefit from the influences that both Hannah and Eric seek.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thank you for choosing the world’s only advice column designed specifi
cally for gorgeous god-like geniuses like you. We humbly acknowledge the enormous competition we face for the privilege o f serving your spiri tual entertainment needs. Before we go on, there is one thing you should know about the sweet, supportive tone we consistently direct your way: W hile we do go to extreme lengths to counteract the mass media’s portrayal o f you as a status-obsessed narcissist driven by petty desires, we never indulge in mere flattery. Our praise is always based on the absolute truth. And when we assert that you have all the resources and free will you need to create the life you want, we are not pandering to your egotism. Indeed, the coming weeks should prove that even our most grandiose estimates o f you are too modest.
place long ago, either when you were a child or in a past incarnation. The power and meaning o f that Big Uproar, which lay dormant for years, recently awoke. As o f today, this part o f your life is like a living fossil. Here’s the downside: You’re getting dragged back to work on problems you thought were gone. The upside: You’ll have a chance to harvest lost truths that’ll make you wiser and happier. (P.S. Put images o f dragon flies and magnolias on your altar for the duration o f the drama.)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
LIBRA
22-D ec. 21): There are two kinds o f people in the world: those who want someone else to rescue them from their demons and fill up the holes in their souls, and those who are com mitted to rescuing themselves and filling the holes in their own souls. I believe that many o f you Sagittarians are now at a crossroads: You’re under going a self-exploration that’ll deter mine which o f the two types you will be for many years to come. I’m sure you know how I hope it all turns out.
SCORPIO
(Dec. 22Jan. 19): If I were king, everyone would have an inalienable right to ample amounts o f food, shelter, clothing, medical care and psy chotherapy. Sadly, even the most enlightened crusaders for economic justice don’t include that last necessity among the rights worth fighting for. That’s why I’m assured a gig for the foreseeable future. For many o f my readers, I’m the closest thing to a therapist. They regard me as a com passionate witness who asks them to think, feel and do things outside o f their usual contexts. As much as I love this role, my dears, I think you may need a more personal version o f my services during the coming weeks. Please enlist a pro to gently kick your
(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): Libra is rarely the first sign that leaps into an astrologer’s mind when he or she thinks about the sexiest signs o f the zodiac. Smoldering Scorpios probably come first, then maybe radi ant Leos or mysterious Pisceans or electrifying Aries. Librans are often considered too harmonious and bal anced to exude erotic unpredictabili ty; too refined and graceful to pro voke crazy longing in anyone. But we need to set aside all those biases in the coming weeks: So say the plane tary omens. I hereby declare you Libras to be the reigning Masters o f Beguiling Love. (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Dragonflies and magnolias are living fossils. They’ve outlived all other species that were their contem poraries when they first came on the evolutionary scene eons ago. I pro pose that we make them your power animal and lucky flower. Here’s my reasoning: You’re now being trans formed by a series o f events that took
CAPRICORN
Feb. 18): It’s a good week for you to write a 10-page essay titled, “People, Places, and Things I Didn’t Know I Loved.” To do this project justice, you should wander far and wide, allowing yourself the luxury o f getting into good m ischief and stir ring up high-class temptations. Oh, I should add that it’ll be important for you to open your eyes and heart wider than usual. O ne more hint: Act on the assumption that you’re now receptive, for the first time, to sources o f sweet delight that you never imag ined existed.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Mine is just one small voice urging you to give yourself all the slack you need. The nature spirits echo my plea, as do the secret helpers that are working behind the scenes to turn you into the gorgeous curiosity you were born to be. Gaia herself, the liv ing Goddess o f our planet, would also like you to take a few days off so that you might nurture yourself with more ferocious tenderness. Indeed, the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy have aligned in such a way as to give you a mandate to luxuriate in your sanctuary and temporarily relinquish all ambition; to relax down to the marrow o f your bones and align yourself with the rhythms o f the Great Mystery.

Dear Lola, I ’m an adult student and I ’m in love with my teacher. I would very much like to pursue a relationship with her — after classes are over. I do not, however, want to make a tool of myself, and though I ’m pretty sure that I ’m reading her signals right and that she’s also interested in me, I hope you’ll help me decipher the following clues: 1) When I ’m able to catch her eye, she blush es. 2) She has encouraged me to call her by her first name. 3) On a recent progress report, she wrote, "I enjoy having you in class. ” Is this enough to go on, or am I jumping to conclusions? Besmitten in Burlington Dear Besmitten, I hope this isn’t a logic class. I ’m sorry to burst your bubble, but your evi dence doesn’t support your conclusion. I read them this way: 1) She senses that you have a crush on her, and it makes her uneasy. 2) She’s not a formal per son. 3) Cither she’s beim nice, or you’re a actual: good student.
