A civic center to downtown Burlington — for concerts and hock ey games. — Ed Moore Exe c u tive Director, Burlington Business Association Essex I’d like to attract all the weapons so I could bury them in a big hole. Katharine Montstream Artist lurlihi

AW O DEY IS ELO Q U EN T CRITIC Pat Hudak’s letter [Weekly Mail, May 26], in which she (he?) attacks Marc Awodey’s critical and writing abilities, based on his unfavorable review o f Emily Bissell Lairds paint ings [“The W ood Is G ood,” May 12], is hypocritical, inaccurate and absurd. Hudak apparently does not believe, as I happen to, that the responsibility o f a critic lies not only in recognizing tal ent, but also in exposing that which is unoriginal and pretentious. She/he accuses him o f being “mean-spirited and juvenile,” and then proceeds to question his competence as a writer on the basis o f two words used in an unrelated paragraph, which she/he has taken care to remove from their con text, thereby erasing their meaning, which Hudak apparendy failed to understand. Hudak claims that Awodey’s review does not inspire a dialogue about the work and “art in general,” but what exactly is preventing her/him from responding to Awodey’s very clear and specific opinions? Instead o f defending the quality o f the work, Hudak instead attempts to malign the integrity o f the critic. If someone is failing to create a dialogue, it is certainly Hudak, not Awodey. Hudak’s letter is also factually incorrect. At no point in the review does Awodey attack Laird’s personal character, as Hudak claims, but remarks only upon her work. Anyone who regularly reads Marc Awodey’s reviews will know that they are rarely scathing, rather they are elegandy written and insightful. Long may Seven Days continue to publish this eloquent and uncompromising critic.

IN DEFENSE OF STAR WARS I want to preface my response to Rick Kisonak’s intensely negative cri tique [May 26] o f The Phantom Menace with a question: “What are you talking about?” I’ve seen so much o f this cynical, world-weary, overly intellectual response since I stood in line in the rain for the eagerly awaited and pro foundly enjoyed premiere o f Star Wars, Episode One, and I just don’t under stand it. Have you seen what George Lucas has to say about this movie? He describes it as “a Saturday afternoon thriller for kids.” What more could you possibly ask for in such a genre? In response to another o f your points, most o f the wars o f humanity are fought over things like taxes, i.e., The American Revolution.. .And as for movies which couldn’t happen at all without their special effects, well, so what? The alien scenery and the incredibly real digitally composed backdrops o f different worlds are exacdy what Star Wars is about. The sophistication o f these techniques has reached a level where anyone who isn’t so guarded in their reactions can just let it be — it’s totally real. And it’s a very large part o f what people who enjoy this kind o f movie are there looking for. By the way, I found the Jar Jar Binks character to be utterly charming, totally real, and so convincingly alien in his different gait and all the other

details o f his non-human physiognomy I was astonished. And Q uigon betting the farm on Aniken Skywalker was absolutely true to the storyline and general character o f Star Wars. Rick, you need to relax. I see by your lukewarm review that you didn’t like The M atrix, either, which was a stardingly prophetic allegory, comple mented extremely well by its highorder special effects...Last year’s W hat Dreams M ay Come was another film which couldn’t have happened at all without SPFX .. .but lest you see me as boiling over with praise for any movie which has wonderful digital magic, I’d like to take this opportunity to state that The Mask, even though it was an SPFX tour de force, was a very poor film. O ne last thing. I’d love to have your job. I think I could bring a fresh er outlook to it. After all, any film is just lights on a screen and people read ing lines to each other. The most important factor in the enjoyment o f a movie is what you bring with you. If you didn’t enjoy The Phantom Menace, on its own terms, I think you may have forgotten how to just have fun. — Jim Dodds Waitsfield

FREYNE W R O N G A B O U T RO BIN Peter Freyne out-smart-alecked him self with his comments about Robin Lloyd in the May 26 “Inside Track.” Robin spoke for hundreds, or more likely thousands, o f us when she challenged Bernie Sanders’ support for N A T O ’s bombing o f Yugoslavia. As a publisher, writer, filmmaker and long time grassroots organizer o f non-vio lent actions, Robin is respected, even revered, in Vermont. Her integrity is untarnished in the many countries where she has mobilized constructive actions against repressive governments. In no way does Robin deserve Peter Freyne’s insolent and inaccurate comments. Her supporters would fit into a telephone booth? O nly if you visualize the rows o f phone booths at international airports as far as the eye can reach, and then some. — Nancy Farrell Burlington

FREYNE’S ASSESSM ENT O U T R A GEOUS Outrage is the only word that describes my reaction to Peter Freyne’s characterization o f Robin Lloyd [Inside Track, May 26]. Robin is one o f the most caring persons I have ever met, and has admirers around the globe. In a society gone mad with con sumerism and materialism, Robin’s selfless funding projects on human and civil rights issues both locally and globally raise the human spirit. Robin, in my opinion, is a “breath o f fresh air.” — Miriam Ward Burlington

The Hot Air Award Jeezum crow, but State Sen. Vince Illuzzi just cant stay out o f trouble. Last week we learned from WCAX-TV that Prince Vince is already in hot water for something he did in his new job as Essex County State’s Attorney. But is it as bad as it first sounded on the TV airwaves? Let’s face it, media-wise, 1999 has been Vince the Vampires year. Seems everyone’s been writing profiles of Vermont’s most colorful and contro versial political animal. Earlier this year, the Associated Press gave him the treatment. So did Seven Days. And a week ago Sunday so did the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine in “Rascal of the N orth,” a thoroughly researched, beautifully written piece by for mer Chicago Tribune writer Jon Margolis, currently of Barton. “Vince Illuzzi is Vermont’s version of James Michael Curley,” wrote Margolis, “a politician who gets more popular the more he is punished by the proper.” In Vermont, the voice of “the proper” sounded loud and clear the evening after the Globe pro file. WCAX-TV’s news director, Marsupial, er, Marsillyiss, er, sorry, Marselis Parsons led the newscast with a story that por^ trayed Vince the Prince once again in hot water with the Professional Conduct Board (PCB). T hat’s the panel that oversees the ethical behavior of Vermont’s attor neys. WCAX reported a complaint against Vince had been filed by Darrel Tardif, an Island Pond man whosa^on isjacing a slew of criminal charges in Essex County District Court. They ran a clip of the gentleman calling Vince “unethical.” The crime? Illuzzi contacted the son’s employer to make sure a possible court-ordered curfew would not affect his employment. Vince also provided a copy of the young man’s colorful criminal record. Pretty shocking stuff, eh? And important, too. It must be, or why else lead Vermont’s most righteous and most watched TV news with it? But insiders know there’s no way Vince will ever get an inch out of WCAX. He may be a Republican, the preferred party of “the proper,” but he sure ain’t no Ruth Dwyer or Susan Sweetser. They’re the kind of Republicans WCAX and its generous owner, Stuart “Red” M artin, have fancied in the past. As the Globe reported, “[Vince] is an abortion rights advocate, he’s against the death penalty, and if two guys want to marry each other, ‘It’s OK with me.’” Turns out, Ch. 3 ’s big scoop on State’s Attorney Illuzzi was chock full of more hot air than Sharon Meyer forecasts in an entire sum mer. You see, anybody and everybody files com plaints against lawyers. Some actually have merit. This one did not. The Associated Press reported Monday after noon — a week after the WCAX report — that the PCB sent Mr. Tardif s letter back to him with a note pointing out there was nothing in the “complaint” that indicated Illuzzi had done “any thing that may have violated the Code of Professional Responsibility...Even assumingyour allegation is true,” wrote the PCB, “it seems you are referring to criminal charges which are a mat ter of public record.” According to the transcripts of Monday’s six o’clock news, there was no mention of this devel opment in the story on WCAX, though it was available on the AP wire. O ur favorite TV station reported it at 11 p.m. and slipped it in their Tuesday morning newscast. It wasn’t the lead story as it had been a week earlier. Instead, Vince’s absolution was sandwiched between a

story about the North Beach Flasher and Charles Kuralt’s secret mistress. W hen it comes to Vermont’s “Rascal of the N orth,” it appears WCAX-TV’s policy is clear: guilty until proven innocent. Now there’s some award-winning journalism for ya! On the Political Beat — Stop the presses! The infamous former Rutland legislator and chairman of the Vermont Democratic Party — the one and only Steve Howard — has withdrawn from the 2000 race for state auditor of accounts. Reached at his office in Boston Monday, L’il Stevie Blunder first told us his cam paign was “on track.” But while we were on the line, Stevie received a call from Addison County Sen. Liz Ready, also a declared candi date for auditor. Whatever Chainsaw told Sleazy Stevie sure worked. When we spoke to him Tuesday morning, L’il Stevie had decided to withdraw. Ready, he said, is “a more qualified and formidable can didate.” He said that his ethi cally challenged campaign for secretary of state in 1998 taught him he “isn’t ready for a statewide race.” He said he will support Chainsaw and “do everything I can to get her elected.” Even if it means staying in Massachusetts? Speaking of the Commonwealth, remember our buddy Jack McMillion, er, McMullen, or whatever it is? Megabucks Jack is still around, and he’s determined to overcome the carpetbag ger image he wore so poorly in the 1998 U.S. Senate race. Jack tells Inside Track he does not expect to be on the GOP ticket in 2000, but will help the party financially. As for Hillary Clinton’s entry into the New York U.S. Senate race, Jack says, “If Hillary’s a New Yorker, I’m a fifth-generation Vermonter!” And Gov. Howard Dean let the cat out of the bag at Monday’s Burlington Rotary. He declared a new rail project will be up and running this summer — linking Burlap to the Amtrak train in Rutland. Afterwards he was less committal. “We’re working on it. It doesn’t mean we’re going to do it. But we’re working on it.” Promises, promises. Media Notes — Never saw so many news people in the same Burlington watering hole as we did Saturday night. It was the new crew from WVNY-TV, Ch. 22, our local ABC affiliate. Everybody knows Ch. 22 doesn’t do much in the way of local news — never really did — but now, the new management is going all out to make a professional reentrance into the Vermont TV news picture. “We know people don’t change news habits easily,” says WVNY’s general manager, Larry Delia. “We will come out of the gate with a com petitive product,” he promises. And no question, the horses are in the barn. Delia’s hired 25 new people for the news opera tion, including former WCAX news reporter Catherine Hughes. Lately, Catherine’s been an independent producer at Vermont Public Television. Joining her are a team o f reporters from around the country. Eric Greene from Cleveland will be the anchorman and executive producer. Leo Doyle arrived from Providence to be the sports guy. Carrie Blake moved over from Bangor, Maine, to be the weekend anchor, and Randy Mann will go head-to-head with Tom Messner and Sharon Meyer in the weather wars. “He’ll have all the doodads,” promises Delia. Plans call for a month of rehearsals for the new news department. August 9 is the tentative date for the great unveiling. Popcorn! Peanuts! Crackerjacks! @

Curses, Foiled Again Rondell McNeill, 23, stole a $375 check from a soft drink company in Sumter, South Carolina, while applying for a job. Company officials discov ered the check was missing, but identified McNeill from his com pleted employment application. They called him in for a job interview. W hen he showed up, police were waiting to arrest him.

White Trash W hen the Ku Klux Klan decided to spruce up its image in Maryland’s Anne Arundel County, it applied to join the county’s “Adopt-a-Road” pro gram and clean up roadside lit ter. County Executive Janet S. Owens opposed the Klan’s effort, but several o f the state’s black leaders told the Washington Times that they supported it. “If they’re out there along the road side, picking up trash, then I and my kids know what they’re up to;” said Robert Eades, who chairs the African American Unity Coalition. “I don’t want to sweep them under the rug.” Although Klan members agreed not to wear their robes

while cleaning up trash, Owens canceled the entire program rather than let the Klan partici pate, even though the program saves the county $23,500 a year in cleanup costs. She explained that a big factor in her decision was concern that people would go out of their way to dump trash on the road adopted by the Klan.

Nearer My God to Thee One corner of a pet cemetery in Cornwall, England, has been set aside for Tamagotchis. Even though the popular hand-held electronic pets can be reset and resurrected if they expire from neglect, some owners prefer to let them rest in peace, according to cemetery owner Terry Squires, who said he has conducted buri als for Tamagotchi lovers from Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada and the United States. • Forever Enterprises began offering digital biographies, which are available by touching small video monitors in wood kiosks among the graves. Mourners can see photographs or videotapes of the deceased, listen to their voices and hear

testimonials from friends and family. The St. Louis company is also posting its 10,000-plus digi tal biographies on the Internet. • Leif Technologies, an Ohio monument maker, began adver tising personal memorials, called View*logies, which can hold the equivalent of up to 250 pages of pictures and texts. Mourners unable to visit the cemetery can download View*logies to a lap top computer.

Looking for Loopholes When New York City imple mented a tough law that ban ished strip clubs and sex shops from most neighborhoods, Mark J. Alonso, the lawyer for Ten’s World Class Cabaret in Manhattan figured out that since the law targeted specifically “adult” establishments, the way around the law was for the club to admit children. State, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Crane agreed, ruling that Ten’s “cannot be defined as an adult eating and drinking establish ment if it does not exclude minors.” Mayor Rudolph Giuliani called Crane’s decision “one of the jerkiest rulings I’ve » seen.

Captive Audiences Cass Mei, 29, who escaped from New Zealand’s Rangipoo

Prison last November, visited his wife at an Auckland jail in February without being recog nized. Prison officials learned of the fugitive’s daring visit only after police recaptured him in March. Mei escaped again by outrunning prison guards while in the hospital after he convinced them he was suffering from a dislocated knee and asthma. • Accused murderer Francisco Rawlins, 30, escaped from New Jersey’s Monmouth County Corrections Institute by scaling three fences topped with razor wire, jumping 25 feet from a light pole and leaping off a building. He then drove off in a car he stole. Authorities captured him within two hours by going to the Perth Amboy home of a woman they said he had been writing regularly and finding him on the roof.

Independent Initiative The northern Yorkshire regional branch of Britain’s Women’s Institute decided its annual calendar to raise money for leukemia research should be different from the usual pastoral scenes favored by other regions. Instead, its members posed nude, opening with 65-year-old Beryl Bamforth on the cover.

Virtual Broken Heart Julie Yasa, 28, climaxed a six-

month e-mail relationship with a 24-year-old Michigan man by traveling to the United States to meet him. They had sex once, then the man drove her to a motel and turned her away when she showed up at his apartment, according to police, who said Yasa’s body was found near the man’s apartment after she apparently took an overdose of sleeping pills.

Self-Starter A 70-foot yacht caused $7 million in damages after it zoomed across a harbor in Davie, Florida, smashing other vessels and a marina. Investi' gators concluded that the yacht’s engines “started on their own and sent the boat careening across the channel.”

Nervous Nellie Vickie Hines, a clerk in Milwaukee County Circuit Court who worked during the 1992 trial of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, submitted a workman’s compensation claim for $77,000 to cover lost wages and medical — costs for various psychological problems, insisting that she suf fered “vicarious trauma” from listening to graphic testimony. Last December, an administra tive law judge denied the claim, ruling that Hines’ problems pre dated the trial. ®

’ve just returned from Boston and the secondblackest day in my fami ly’s history. No diatribes, never fear — I haven’t got the strength. After the noise dies down, grief hits, when you least expect it. In my case, it was in the car driving to Staples to buy copy paper. Buckets of tears, “out of the blue.” Very disconcerting. Tragedy I can do, but sorrow is harder. For those who don’t know: O n May 28, in Middlesex County Superior Court in Cambridge, Massachusetts, my sister Barbara’s former husband, Stephen Fagan, a.k.a. “D r.” William M artin of Palm Beach, Florida, coppe La guilty plea to charges of kid napping their two daughters in the midst of a custody battle in 1979. The children were raised in Florida under false names, first in the home of a Combat Zone stripper who had moved to Key West — think “safe house,” folks, think money laundering and drug smug gling, think pornography — and later in Palm Beach, in the mansions of the two suc cessive rich women Fagan charmed into marrying him since he went on the lam. At the time o f the kid napping, pending a final decision, the probate judge in Massachusetts had ordered that my nieces remain in their mother’s custody. He specifically rejected the alle gations o f neglect, abuse and “unfitness” that Fagan had brought against Barbara, although this inconvenient detail was not mentioned in any o f the press reports last week. All we saw was the damning line: “Kurth has denied the charges.” It’s true, but small comfort, that edi torial opinion around the country has gone over whelmingly against Fagan and his brainwashed daugh ters, who seemed to relish their attack on Barbara in court. “We want the court to know that if we could retroactively give our father the consent needed to take the action he did 20 years ago, we would, w ithout hesi tation,” said the elder daugh ter, Rachael, exercising her right to a “victim impact statem ent.” Retroactively, we might want to give these girls a good spanking, but no one asked our opinion. The plea bargain, negoti-

M artha Coakley — the same Martha Coakley who won, then lost, the Louise Woodward “Nanny” trial — was a done deal before we even heard of it. Fagan escaped with no jail time, only probation, a fine (which his current wife will pay) and the order that he perform 2000 hours of community service in a VA hospital. I doubt he will be changing bedpans. I’ll say it right out, knowing that the coward will

men. Never the right light ing. FACT: One does not move automatically from tears to the next press con ference. You need some time to pull yourself together. FACT: The “grief process” is not your concern. “Closure” is not sought or required. Grief doesn’t close; with luck, it forms a scar, which will ache in bad weather. People should not be lied to about this. I am so tired of lies.

Justice we never expected. A show of public decency we thought was not out of line. My sister has told reporters: “A lot of people have asked me how I feel. It’s a question that absolutely stumps me, because I feel many, many ways. If you felt it, what I feel, this house would be in a shambles from the force o f it. It is so beyond saddened, or any other word.” It was for this I was weeping in the car. Have you noticed how Hollywood actors cry in the movies? Demi Moore started it in Ghost— I swear, it’s all you have to do to become a star. Stare at the camera, bite your lip gmd squirt glycerin from your eyes without mov ing a muscle. Granted, we’ve seen this kind of performance in the courtroom, but that’s not what crying is like. Crying always wants to cor rect itself. It wants to be beaten back or released com pletely, one or the other. It distorts your face, blotches your skin, drips inconve niently, chokes your speech. . You’re a. mess. No makeup -V

It happens that as my own family’s drama plays out, I’m approaching that point in my biography of Isadora Duncan where Isadora’s two children drown in the Seine. It was in April 1913. A stupid accident, no one’s fault. The car had stalled in reverse. The driver got out to crank the engine. The car jerked backward and tumbled into the water. Plop. All over. The moment Isadora last saw her children, as they drove away in the car, was burned forev er in her mind. Her dancing, which had been lyrical, filled with the joy of life, became sculptural and stark — a solitary, accusing figure in a flaming scarlet gown, danc ing to the sternest rhythms of the world’s great music: the Marche Slave, the “Dance of the Furies,” the Seventh Symphony, the “Marseil laise.” She became “promis cuous,” drank champagne around the clock, married a Bolshevik poet and was banned in Boston, where hypocrisy was invented. She tried as hard as she could to overcome her loss, but in the end it broke her. “No one has understood since I lost Deirdre and Patrick how pain has caused me at times to live in almost a delirium,” Isadora wrote. “In fact my poor brain has

It don’t mean a th in g ...if you ain’t got the basic three steps burned into your brain. Nor do prior plies prepare you for the swivels, spins and acrobatics to come. W hat does help is a sense o f rhythm, and a great outfit that makes you look like you just stepped off the set of “Happy Days” — or better yet, a recent Gap commercial. And you’ll need a coordinated partner to shepherd you through it all. Contrary to popular belief, your boogiewoogie buddy does not have to be your spouse — or even a person of the opposite sex. Last Friday night, thanks to a rotating scheme often exercised in ballroom classes, I got to dance with Kirt, Mark, Kent and the elegant, white-shoed Larson before ending up in the arms of a woman at least six inches shorter than myself. O ur “underarm turns” looked more like variations on the limbo, but it was a great ice breaker. I left with serious doubts about my stand on social danc ing. Maybe solo is not the way to go. Clearly I’m not the only one reassessing, judging from the turn-out for a four-class crash course in swing danc ing designed by Larson and Brookes to prepare couples for the Discover Jazz Festival. This year’s theme, “Jazz Moves,” acknowledges what has been going down for the past decade in dancehalls across the country. I’m one of thousands of Americans who are giving up our personal “space” on the dance floor to retrace the steps of our par ents. Scary. For the fust time since “The Twist” tore us asunder, it’s cool to be connected. “It’s this teamwork thing, where you both have to cooperate to make something work. You just don’t get that in solo dancing,” says Terry Bouricius, a Progressive legislator from Burlington who started teaching swing dance 14 years ago — “when it was still an oddity,” as he puts it. “You can admire your partner as you watch her rock ’n roll, but the two of you are not creating some thing together.” The book Swing: The New Retro Renaissance expands that metaphor to suggest the movement is also about “building community.” W ith a seriousness that seems to run counter to the campy spirit of the dance, editor V. Vale writes in his opening manifesto: “The swing move ment is about cultural rebellion in its most subversive form; one that uses the symbols of the status quo for its own intents and purposes. This is achieved through the simple means o f rejecting corporately dictated consump tion and embracing forgotten and-or ignored aspects of the American experience” — that includes music, man ners, footwork and fashion. ♦ Forgotten, indeed.

— especially for those of us practiced in the art of improvisational flailing. In the rediscovered world of jive danc ing, ’60s individualism is out the window. Follow, just because I happen to be female? Yup, and put on a short, swingy skirt, mommy-o, so we can see your underwear when you’re airborne. These dances have steps, and you gotta learn them. It’s virtually impossible to pick them up just by watching — the whole thing happens too fast. Larson and Brookes are a blur as they “demonstrate” to a tune off Bolt from the Blue, by The Jive Aces. The basic six-count we’ve been struggling to nail in class — right, left, rock step — is camouflaged in a whirl of fancy footwork. In a polyester bowling shirt and loose black pants, Larson keeps Brookes on a tight leash, but sends

her out on short swivel adventures. They look like Fred and Ginger on uppers. “If you see a good swing-dancing couple, and you like to dance...you say to yourself, ‘I gotta do that,”’ says Bouricius, who met his wife on the dance floor and spent his honeymoon at a swing-dance camp. “It just starts spreading.”

The King of Swing, was more evasive, saying it “was as difficult to explain as the Mona Lisa’s smile, or the nutty hats women wear — but just as stimulating. It remains something you take 5000 words to explain, then leaves you wondering what it is.” “The difficulty of arriving at a consensus definition, various critics pointed out, was that swing referred not to -a- type of music, but the way in which music was per- • -

formed,” David Stowe writes in Swing Changes: Big Band Jazz in New Deal America. To complicate things, it also became the generic term for a range of dance styles, including the jitterbug, that came out of Harlem in the late 1920s. Bouricius retraces the first “rock step” to Shorty George Snowden, who allegedly invented the first version of the dance — the lindy hop — at the Savoy Ballroom. The dance was a black response to the sound of swinging jazz. Whites followed suit — and zoot suit — no doubt shocking their parents at least as much as the children o f rock ’n’ roll did 30 years later. “It was one of the very first integrated social activities in the United States,” Bouricius says, noting the Savoy had a policy of admitting whites who took “The A-Train” to hear and dance to Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington and Count Basie. The dance itself borrowed heavily from the Charleston. A move called the “swing out,” which involved releasing the girl from the closed dancing posi tion and then pulling her back, set it apart. The “swing term stuck, although numerous other dance names cropped up that meant virtually the same thing, including lindy, boogie-woogie and jitterbug. “If Glenn Miller played a slow song, you did a fox trot. If it was fast, you did a jitterbug,” Bouricius explains. Over time, however, the dances evolved, picking up variations in different parts of the country. East Coast Swing was faster and more exuberant than West Coast, which now tends to be danced in triple-time to slow, bluesy tunes. Southern style includes the Texas “W hip” and Carolina “Shag,” says Bouricius — but not in the sense meant by Austin Powers. The competitive version of swing, called jive, is based on the style imported and modified by the English. The music and the dance evolved together, and “for each other,” in a way that musicians like Miles Davis would probably not have approved. But the notion of jazz as a cerebral musical journey is relatively contemporary. Following in the African tradition, “the music made the dancers want to do certain things, and when the musi cians saw the dancers...some songs were written specifi cally for swing dancing,” Bouricius says. But whoever invented the steps clearly “knew nothing about music theory,” he says with a laugh. East Coast Swing is a six-count dance on a four-count rhythm. That means the downbeat — a natural starting point for dancers and musicians — comes around every 12 beats. My partner Kirt, a former drummer, is unnerved by this. So am I, but keep counting out the rhythm as we turn and swivel in the company of nine other kinetically challenged couples. O ur halting shuffle bears little resemblance to the pas de deux I used to suffer through as an aspiring ballerina. O r to the smooth operation of Larson and Brookes, who

anny Buraczeski doesn’t make dances to just any old music. His perfor mances are moving tributes to the vast and varied repertoire of American jazz. On Saturday night at the Flynn, he sets souped-up steps to classic tunes by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Ornette Coleman, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw and...Phil Hamilton? The 38-year-old AfricanAmerican Middlebury grad — and vocalist for the Pat Metheny Group — may be lesser known than the other boys on the bill. But he’s got it all over them in stage presence. You can catch him live on stage playing “Ezekiel’s Wheel” — a percus sion-driven suite of original

tunes # ^inspired by&the?fic tional works of James Baldwin. The African-American writer whose literary works foreshad owed the racial unrest of the ’60s “talks about not being bit ter, and learning to forgive,” Hamilton says of his 35-minute piece, which incorporates excerpts from a eulogy Baldwin delivered at a friend’s funeral. Noting Buraczeski’s continuous ly moving dancers, The Los Angeles Times described the work for eight dancers as “a tableau of hope.” Hamilton is accustomed to writing music for movers — “getting paid to sit around and watch everybody sweat,” as the New York-based composer puts it. Although he was in a serious

j|z& bdhd at Middlebury, which lasted for a decade after gradua tion, he also picked up extra cash playing for dance classes on campus. His rhythmic sensitivity and upbeat energy made him the ideal accompanist — some thing former Alvin Ailey dancer Judith Jamison picked up on right away. “Judith and I just immedi ately fell in love with each other. Her movement, my music — from that, I started to develop a large interest in music for move ment,” Hamilton says of his ongoing professional collabora tions with the diva of AfricanAmerican dance. Tony Award winning choreographer Ann Reinking — who did the moves for the Broadway productions Chicago and Fosse — is also hip

to Hamilton. W hen she wts m invited to a choreograph m piece for Ballet Hispanico, Reinking invited him to write the store. “The movement is par%of your visualization of the musyc. You want to inspire the m♦ dancers,” Hamilton says of his process of composing for chore ographs. Collaborating with Buraczeski, he says, was “a great experience” that resulted in some unexpected twists. “Some of my music was driving, and he chose visually to slow it down,” Hamilton explains. Stressing the importance of live sound on stage, he promises, “You can see the music.” No five words better describe what Buraczeski is after— the Village Voice called him “the country’s most sophisticated jazz

maker.” He makes corporal the exuberant, sometime slippery # sounds of jazz in all its yaria- ® tions, from the gospel ftmes of Mahalia Jackson to the sizzUng souncfstfjf Latitji m ister Tito Puente.

JazzD ance by Danny B uraczeski, Flynn Theatre, Burlington, June 12, 8 p.m. will show their stuff Saturday in a performance of Swing Etc. in the Pepsi Family Tent. Needless to say, we are light years from attempting any of the athletic moves demon strated in movies like Swing K ids— about the persecu tion of young swing dancers in Nazi Germany — or Swingers, whose backdrop includes the beginning of the retro movement in Los Angeles. Perhaps that explains the missing martinis. Bouricius says many trendy features of the “neo-swing” scene— which started more than a decade ago on the West Coast — have not arrived in Vermont. In clubs like San Francisco’s Deluxe, bands like The Royal Crown Revue and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy play for pompadoured guys in baggy pants and fedoras who lead partners in poodle skirts and bobby socks. Cocktails are strongly encouraged. “There are a lot of dance clubs across the country where rock ’n’ roll is gone,” Bouricius says. But the swing set is only nostalgic to a point. Ironically, technology has played a huge role in the retro revival. The invention o f the compact disc, which has allowed the re-release o f many original jazz recordings hitherto impossible to find, has brought a whole new generation in contact with a form of music rejected by baby boomers. Basically, writes Vale, “our American roots music heritage became restored to us.” And happily, we can dance to it. Like it or not, that will bring more fans to American jazz than all the jam sessions in the world. ®

’m not a pet person. For years, in fact, I have carefully cultivated the public reputa tion for being adamantly anti pet. I have been known to plant bamboo skewers in my garden to discourage my neighbors cat. I have made no bones about my lack of enthusiasm for Burling ton’s dog-park politics. And I have gushed, in these very pages, about the virtually limitless advantages of electronic animal companions over their living counterparts. So it is not without some embarrassment that I make the following confession: I am a petowner. Actually, I own not one but two pets. Granted, they’re small. And low-maintenance. But they are alive. They eat and drink and poop, and I sometimes even take them out of their terrarium. I enjoy feeding them juicy green lettuce leaves and stroking their shiny brown backs, and I love the feeling of their 12 little feet gripping my fingers or crawl ing up and down my arms. Their names are Max and Terre, and they’re the most magnificent Madagascan cockroaches you’d

ever hope to lay eyes on. I acquired my first cucarachas about a year ago, an indirect result of a story I wrote for this paper. It was about Trish Hanson, an entomologist who works for the state of Vermont and who kept, at the time, a coterie of giant hissing Madagascan cockroaches in her lab. As it turned out, Trish wasn’t just a great interview subject. She also quickly became a friend, and her roach anecdotes supplied fodder for my latest kids’ book, Break-Out at the Bug Lab, to be published by Dial Press next year. The book was what made me a roach-wrangler. As a children’s author, I’m included on a list of home-town “celebrities” occasionally paid to entertain elementary school chil dren. After my first book, Bat Time, came out in 1991, I did a brief but profitable tour as The Bat Lady. “Boys and girls,” the over-smiling librarian would gush, “We have a very special treat for you today. Ruth Horowitz is an aw-ther, and she’s going to read you the book she wrote!” Then I’d read my little book and answer their little ques tions, which usually ran along the lines of, “Are bats made of

rubber?” or “How old are you?” or “My Uncle Joe found a bat in his house once, and it had poison teeth.” Eventually Bat Time went out of print and the bat gigs stopped coming. Then, last spring, just as Dial was deciding to buy Bug Lab, I was invited to a couple of Burlington schools. I couldn’t wait to try out my new book on some live audiences — I knew that Bug Lab, with its rubberband shooting scene, AWOL insect and various bathroom and burping references, would be a real crowd-pleaser. And it would be great to finally shed my “batty” persona. When I told Trish I was tak ing “her” book on the road, she surprised me by saying, “If you’re going to be reading a book about cockroaches, you really ought to have some live ones to show them.” Oh, well, I don’t happen to have any, I excused myself. Besides, it’s one thing to write about the disgusting little vermin and another thing altogether to actually own, let alone touch, one. After all, I’m not a pet per son. But Trish was persuasive, and the next thing I knew I was hurtling down 1-89, pulling into the Richmond commuter lot, and meeting a man in a green truck with a deli container full of cockroaches. The container was labeled “Olive Salad,” but I was n’t fooled for a minute. “Do you know how to hold them?” the roach dealer asked, handing over the goods. O f course I didn’t. So he gave me a lesson right there in the parking lot. The key, he explained, is to grab them as if you mean it — firmly enough so they can’t wrig gle away, but not so tight that you squash them.

Most of my after-class inter actions take a more positive tone. At lesson’s end, a small cluster of kids always hangs back for one last, private word with me. “I think your cockroaches are very pretty,” a little girl will confess. “I love your roaches,” another will one-up her. “Can I have your cockroaches?” a third child wiH brazenly request. “I’m sorry,” I said when this appeal was issued at the end of my very first roach show. “They’re not mine to give away. These cockroaches belong to the State of Vermont.” But as it turned out, when my premiere tour of duty ended and I tried to return the bugs to their rightful owner, Trish didn’t

seem all that interested in get ting them back. “Doesn’t Sam like having them around?” she wondered. “Maybe if you keep them long enough, they’ll have babies. It would be neat to watch them molt.” W hat choice did I have? I acquired a Plexiglass tank with a locking top from some friends whose last hamster had died. I lined the tank floor with wellseasoned compost and a handful of sticks and bark. W ith an overturned spice bottle, a Tupperware top and a scrap of cotton diaper, I contrived a clever little water system. Then I sat back and waited for my roaches to reproduce. Unfortunately, the blessed event has yet to take place. Last winter, poor Maggie went home to insect Valhalla, so I intro duced Max to the lithesome young female I named Terre. Six months have passed since Terre arrived, but I have yet to dandle my first grandroach. I’ve been passing the time pondering name books, nymph-proofing the terrarium and knitting batches of blattarian booties. Some might call this behavior obsessive. I prefer to think of it as an act o f faith. After all, if a gal cant believe in her own bugs what can she believe in? ® ‘t

years John Howland c. 1957 B y P eter F reyn e eading John Howland s recently published memoir is like spending an unfor gettable Sunday afternoon nosing around in your grandfather’s attic. It’s a priceless story — or rather a collection of priceless stories from the life of the former Windsor County state senator — that speaks volumes about 20thcentury Vermont. Howland’s life has been blessed by his partnership with his beloved wife Mary and the five rugged individuals they spawned. The eldest, John Jr., a longtime Vermont newspaper man and editor who currently serves as the state’s deputy audi tor, provided the editing skills that enable his dad’s yarns to slide down like butter. This is no rose-colored Vermont Life-sxy\t reminiscence, by any means. Howland tells it like it was, warts and all, as if he were spinning tales down at the general store. There were tough times when the money ran short, when the hips gave out, and the horizon darkened. But with per severance and a big heart, Grandpa Howland always man aged to land on his feet. John Howland Sr. is the kind of old-fashioned Vermonter you don’t meet much in the Age of Wal-Mart; the sort of fella who considers it a civic duty to serve his community in public office — and knows just when to get out. He knows how important it

is to give those less fortunate amongst us a chance to work, get on their feet and win self-respect. His word is his bond, whether buying and selling real estate or cutting a deal under Montpelier’s golden dome. “In politics, I discovered quickly that, while I wasn’t as clever as some of my colleagues, and while I was every bit as capa ble of being wrong as the next legislator, keeping your word has far more political value than being clever,” he writes. For Howland, growing up in the machine-tool town of Windsor during the Roaring ’20s, “business” was in his blood, as this excerpt reveals. Business, my cousin Ollie told me when I was a pup, is about one thing and one thing only — buy ing and selling stuff. Doesn’t matter what the stu ff is, really, ju st sell it fo r more than you paid fo r it and you’ll do ju st fine. But I never had a knack for it. When I was about ten years old, I went to an auction o f person al property at the house ju st east o f the bridge on Union Street, in front o f the dam. I had fifty cents in my pocket and was pulling a wagon along with me. Most o f the pieces were well beyond my ability to bid, but finally a big box o f about four dozen dusty glass milk bottles and three or four earthen jugs came up and no one bid. So I bid ten cents and was successful in buying something. The auctioneer was fu ll o f chatter and decided to

Mark Twain has been described as possessing "the soul o f a boy" and as being "imprisoned in his boyhood." Yet, strangely, the childhood o f this quintessential Ameri can writer remains a largely unexplored territory. Few authors have examined, let alone understood, the wellspring from which Twain's novels stem. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Powers spins the real-life yam o f Samuel Clemens' boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri, and it is as adventurous, exhilarating and terrifying as any found in Twain's fiction. Ron Powers is a journalist, novelist and non-fiction writer. The author o f eight books, including White Town Drowsing: Journeys to Hannibal and Far From Home: Life and Loss in Two American Towns, he has been a columnist for the Chicago Sun Times and GQ and has written for the New York Times "Book Review" and Conde Nast Traveler. Ron lives in M iddlebury with his wife Honoree, and sons Dean and Kevin.

tale it is. Howland’s first brush with politics came in 1950, when the World War II Navy veteran was appointed public relations officer for the Vermont Department of the American Legion. At the time, he writes, “In the eyes of the press, Legion activities seemed to run on alcohol...part of my job was to counter this unfortunate popular image.” In January 1950 Lt. Gov. Harold Arthur became governor

have some fu n with me. What was I going to do with my large pur chase, he wanted to know. The crowd was behind him and got a laugh out o f his question. I was ten years old, however, and I was n’t enjoying the experience. “You can laugh all you want to, ”I answered. “I ’m going to take ’em down to Pete Jarvis’ market and he’l l give me five cents apiece for the m ilk bottles and twenty-five cents fo r the jugs. ” The experience was a memo rable one for me, as episodes o f childhood embarrassment and revenge on the grownups ofien are. In later life, I also recognize it as demonstrating the entrepreneurial fa m e o f m ind I had, even as a youngster. Some children are musically inclined, some are natural ballplayers; I liked to buy and sell things. And buy and sell he did. Over the course of the next 70 years Howland bought horses and land and machine shops. In 1956, for the remarkable sum of $1000 in cash and a $1000 short-term note from his machine shop, he bought the Mt. Ascutney Ski Area. A friend then passed along an article in Popular Mechanics “about making snow by mixing water and air under pressure and discharging atomized water par ticles into the freezing atmos phere.” So in 1957, when lift tickets went for $40 for the sea son, Howland put down Vermont’s first man-made snow on a patch of Mt. Ascutney. Some folks thought he was nuts. The first year that we made

snow, I took a good ribbing fo m some o f the ski giants. I remember being razzed publicly by Big Bromley owner Fred Papst at the New England Council Ski Show. He called it “carrying coals to Newcastle. ” The next summer, though, he asked us a lot o f ques tions, and soon we read a news story that he was investing a mil lion dollars so that Bromley could cover all o f its slopes and trails with snowmaking. The Ascutney Ski Area blos somed and Howland took on partners. In 1965 he got “skunked,” as he writes, by one of them. In business, you just don’t win ’em all. Fifty-eight pages of Ventures & Adventures are devoted to the Ascutney Ski Area story, and a classic Vermont

Sinatra in 1945 when Gov. Ernest Gibson resigned to become a federaljudge. That month, Arthur attended the mid winter Legion conference in White River Junction. Governor Arthur came early and stayed late, leaving at 2 a. m. and driving him self back to Montpelier. He had asked me, as well as others, to get him drinks during the course o f the evening, but he had arrived by himself, and none o f us was smart enough to take responsibility fo r him. The next week, Howland and the Legion commander paid Arthur a call at the Statehouse. “Governor, ”I said, “the offi cers o f the Vermont Department o f the American Legion are afraid o f you. You came down to our mid winter conference last week, got drunk and drove home alone at two o'clock in the morning, weav ing all over the road at eight to ten miles an hour. We were all lucky you didn’t have an accident or get picked up fo r drunken driving. ” Needless to say, the visit by the two Legionnaires was not well received. Shutting off the governor was a difficult public relations task, Howland writes, but “telling off the governor apparently came more naturally to me.” In 1974 Howland was elect ed to the Vermont State Senate,

where he served five terms, along with his Harvard classmate Sen. Bob Gannett of Windham County. As chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, his out spoken opposition to nuclear power, based merely on econom ic grounds, was legend. Even anti-nuclear activists gladly dis tributed the Republicans posi tion paper on nuclear power across the state. It took Sen. Howland six years, but he finally got Gov. Richard Snelling on board, agreeing not to investing in the Seabrook nuclear power boondoggle. Ventures dr Adventures is filled with such tales, every one of them a morsel of real life in Vermont before the big changes brought on during the 1960s. And Howland hasn’t given up control of his mementos to some publisher. He printed 1000 copies of the handsome red hardcover himself, and he’s in charge of sales. W hat else would you expect from a lifelong Vermont businessman? ®

m m m e settled into the deeply cushioned seats as the W familiar, heroic theme music filled the theater. A Field of stars washed the screen, and the prologue to the story began to crawl into infinity. “Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Given the mixed reviews of The Phantom Menace, I wasn’t expecting a great movie, but only 30 seconds into it, found myself breaking the movie house rule of silence: “Taxes?” I whispered fiercely to my husband. “This movie is going to be about a fight over taxes?” And then, 15 minutes later: “Am I missing some important sub-text, or is this just a lousy script?” And on the way out the door: “Wow. That was really bad acting!” I’d been spoiled, you see. Only six hours earlier, we had settled into the deeply cushioned seats of the space shuttle Endeavor, as our enthusiastic guide explained an emergency drill to practice how to jettison one of the external fuel tanks. We held onto the controls used by the shuttle commander to land the craft, and visited the

live feed from NASA-TV as the real shuttle docked with the real International Space Station, guided by a real Canadian astro naut, Julie Payette, who is the real hero of her country this week. Here’s my alternative starry saga: In a suburb of Montreal, not so far, far away, is the Cosmodome, a joint venture of the City of Laval and SPAR Aerospace, Ltd. Originally con ceived as a way to promote the aerospace industry in Quebec and provide opportunities for kids to learn about space science and technology, the Cosmodome is an entertaining, very hands-on learning experience for all ages. In short, it’s a blast. The Cosmodome houses two separate but integrated facilities: Space Camp Canada and the Space Science Center. The Camp — available to anyone older than nine — is a licensee of the U.S. Space Camp Foundation, which also franchises facilities in Titusville, Florida, Huntville, Alabama, and Mountain View, California. Canada Space Camp, which opened in the summer of 1994, offers half-day, full-day, weekend and one-week pro-

nauts for wa airlock leading to the cargo bay. We actually touched a real Canada Arm — the super crane, made in Canada, for rescuing errant satellites and hoisting shuttle astronauts and new parts out of Endeavor and into the International Space Station. Disembarking from the Endeavor, we watched overhead on giant video screens for the

grams. There are also one-day sessions for teachers. All camps provide work shops, rides in astronaut training simulators, time in the cockpit of the shuttle Endeavor and a tour of duty in the mission con trol room. The half-day program is a quick overview of the funda mentals o f astronaut training and some very basic space science.

L-J

BOTTLE ROCKET? A Canadian camp practices shuttle diplomacy. Additional time allows for more opportunities to experience the simulators, take more workshops on aeronautics and space science, and experience in-depth prepara tion for a mock shuttle mission. Those attending the week-long camp actually complete two onehour shuttle missions. The Training Room, a cav ernous, hangar-like space, is sur rounded by classrooms where small groups study propulsion, gravity, atmosphere and other precursors to the Space Camps astronaut physical training. In the Training Room, six different simulators provide a very authen tic experience of astronaut train ing. “Five Degrees of Freedom” is an actual simulator from the Gemini space program that allows campers to feel the sensa tions of walking in space. The “Microgravity Training Chair,” with weights and springs to off set five-sixths of a trainee’s weight, was used during the Apollo program to train astro nauts for walking on the moon. When I made a comment to the guide about the “MultiAxis,” which spins the rider on three axes simultaneously in a simulated tumbling spin-out, he quickly responded, “Yeah, we call it the throw-up machine, too.” The centerpiece of the Training Room is the space shut tle Endeavor simulator. This lifesized cockpit of the shuttle orbiter is equipped with a flight deck, airlock, sound effects, com puters and computer screens, and enough gadgets, lights and dials to provide a realistic practice shuttle flight. Audio, video and computer hook-ups link the flight deck to a mission-control room, in a loft overlooking the Training Room. During a mock

Training Room ended up cheer ing, laughing and ready to team up and fly the shuttle. The counselors themselves are young, generally between 19 and 24, which also helps make the program accessible to kids. Supervisors and managers of the Space Camp are thirty- and fortysomething veterans, and move from group to group over seeing the counselors and partici pating in the programs. The staff’s job is to provide hard sci entific knowledge and experi ences, and keep the program entertaining. “We want to show the kids that science can be fun, and they can feel good working as a team to learn the skills and solve the problems,” Frank told us. Counselors, in other words, are not simply Disney-esque guides and entertainers. There’s a seri ous educational purpose to the Camp along with the fun. “We think we are not so focused on entertainment as the camps in the States,” he noted. Not sur prising, considering our twoweek lineups for the Star Wars opening tickets. According to Frank, the ideal space camper is 13 years old. “They still have an active imagi nation and are ready to experi ence the mission as though it is real.” He also pointed out that a 13-year-old can absorb knowl edge better than younger kids and, unlike older adolescents, still has the discipline to carry out orders from the shuttle Commander. Older folks? Frank replied that parents and other'5 . adults who attend the camps tend to make jokes to break the tension, which also breaks the spell of the imagined mission. “Thirteen years old is perfect!” he reiterated. Later, as I fumed over George Lucas’ insulting script and the lost opportunity to feel that rush of imagination mixed with hero ism, I couldn’t help but compare the flickering scenes in front of me to the sight of an elderly Quebec gentleman at the Cosmodome earlier in the day. He was having his picture taken next to a life-sized photo of Canadian astronaut Julie Payette. I thought about Frank’s sad dis missal of adults and our lack of imagination. The old gentleman was living proof that age doesn’t matter as much as The Right Stuff. The important thing — remember this, George Lucas — is to remember your place in the Universe. The Cosmodome is a mighty fine place to start. May the Force be with you. ®

shuttle flight, crews on the flight deck and in the mission control follow a one-hour script, includ ing launch, trouble-shooting problems during a flight and repair of a communications satel lite. All contact between shuttle and control room is via headsets, video displays and computer readings. Space campers — or Astronaut Trainees, as the camp staff call them — can also experi ence living quarters modeled after those enjoyed by the real space McCoys. There are two floors of dormitory space provid ing 264 beds, eight bunks to a room. There are washrooms with individual shower stalls, and a full-service cafeteria. I was remarking on how immaculate the bathrooms were, checking my hair in the reflection on the highly waxed floor, when our guide, Frank, apologized for the condition of the sleeping areas. A week-long camp had adjourned the day before and the final clean-up, he said, clearly hadn’t occurred yet. I noted that he’d obviously never picked up a child after a week at Camp Hochelaga. The counselor-to-camper ratio of 10:1 ensures close atten tion, and work in small groups helps build the team spirit that is an integral part of the Space A ll Cosmodome camps require Camp experience. Teamwork, in advance reservations. Public camp fact, is one of their major goals sessions are open to anyone, and groups may also reserve “p rivate" for campers. The very first train camp sessions. Youth rates range ing exercise is a modified “ropes” from $15 fo r the half-day program game, requiring campers to lift to $675fo r the six-dayI five-night up, carry and pass each other program. A dult rates range from through a rope maze, or “force $20 fo r half-day to $225fo r the field,” into the arms of a group two-night weekend. Sessions are of campers on the other side. available in French and English. This served as a great ice-breaker, For more info and directions, call and every group that went Space Camp Canada at 450-978through this station in the 3600.

weekly

Discover Jazz celebrates the Duke Ellington centennial with the David Murray Tentet performing “The Obscure Works of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn” — the tribute was chosen by V i l l a g e V o i c e critic Gary Giddins as 1998’s concert of the year in New York. Tenor saxophonist and bass clarinetist David Murray has been one of the most prolifically recorded and widely traveled jazzmen of the last 20 years. He’s performed in groups from duets to big bands — including a full string orchestra. Murray co founded, and continues to perform with, the critically acclaimed World Saxophone Quartet, and his recordings rank among the finest modern jazz works. In addition to the recent Eilington/Strayhorn project, he also currently combines jazz and traditional West African music in the group Fo Deuk Revue. Murray’s voice on the tenor sax is truly original, blending the full-toned heft of Coleman Hawkins with the sound-energy freedom of Albert Ayler; his distinctive personal style is soulful and exploratory. The group Murray will be bringing to the Discover Jazz Festival features flautist James Newton, vocalist Carmen Bradford, baritone saxophonist Hamiet Bluiett, saxophonist/clarinetist John Purcell, trombonist Craig Harris, trumpeter Hugh Ragin, pianist Hilton Ruiz, bassist Jaribu Shahid and drummer Andrew Cyrille. All 10 musicians are gifted improvisers, and most are bandleaders in their own right out side the tentet. Each, in fact, deserves a feature story unto themselves. It’s fitting that Discover Jazz pays tribute to Ellington with this show — with so many superb Ellington compositions, it has always puzzled jazz fans why a majority of musicians play only a hand ful: “Satin Doll,” “Take the ‘A’ Train,” “Perdido," etc. With the theme “Jazz Moves,” listeners will dis cover — or be reminded — that Ellington’s moves were among the smoothest. Max King and James Harvey open. —

SEA HERE NOW Talk about going on the road...M tv’s popular halfhour show, “Road Rules,” will excerpt bits o f the Good Citizen Radio H our compilation as music “beds” in the new series, according to G C editor (and Chin Ho! front man) Andrew Smith, who sent the C D to the show’s music supervisor last year. O nly thing is, next season’s

episodes will actually be at sea. Something from all 19 tracks — even Joshe Henry — will reportedly be used, says Smith. And they pay royalties. Listen for hometown sounds when “Road Rules” hits the waves next month.

SHELF LIFE The funny thing is, Jerry Trudell’s first job when he moved back to Burlington was roof ing the former Sears, now the home o f the enhanced Price Chopper on Shelburne. Last Sunday, Trudell was leading a musical demonstration at the one that closed its doors forever in downtown Burlington. “I’m pissed off about the loss o f this store for the elderly,” says the “urban punk-funk” prodigal son. “The sin gle most important element o f a sus tainable community is the ability to shop.” H e’s pushing for a boycott of the fancy new super-PC, and sug gests “the mayor should play hard ball instead o f always being such a nice guy.” Neither is likely to hap pen, but at least it’s nice to know protest music is alive and well.

DOWN WITH THE BLUES Once the Jazz Fest is over, Charlie Frazier will once again remind us these hills are alive with the sound o f...th e blues. “Mr. Charlie,” a W IZ N deejay and bluesguy himself (Blues For Breakfast), announces it’s time for submissions to Best o f the Green M ountain Blues, Vol. 4! Send origi nal material, recorded live or in the studio, to Frazier at POB 271, Burlington, VT 05402. Strange-

folk, Bloozotomy and Steve Boothby have already signed up. Sales o f the compilation, like the

three before it, will benefit Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, a Colchester summer camp for children with cancer. Oh, and the deadline for submissions is August 10.

Original member Stacey Starkweather is filling in; GSB appears at Higher Ground this Friday . . . Flynn Theatre Marketing Director Tom Ayres, who “m oon lights” as a deejay, has switched, after a year-and-a-half stint on WWPV, to W RU V Tuesday nights. “Emotional Weather Report” spins American roots and weirdness from 6 to 8 p.m. . . . “Signal to Noise Radio” is also back at ’RUV, broad casting its improv/jazz/groove thing Tuesdays noon to 3; meanwhile Signal publisher Pete Gershon has moved the ’zine from the relatively remote Champlain islands to new offices in Burlington . . . Vermont Public Radio gets in on the Discover Jazz festivities by broadcasting “Green Mountain Jazz” — native performers like Ellen Powell, Joe Davidian and others — all week long. The tribute winds up with “Live at Higher Ground” this Friday, starring the Vermont Jazz All Stars with Trey Anastasio . . .

string-plucking on “If I Loved You” and the rolling “Tiger” demonstrate she’s adept on the guitar when she wants to be. A Gallup specialty is the yin-yang relationship o f humor and heartbreak — often in the same song. In “Jack McGraw” she drives all night to find a lover at the Tally Ho motel: A n d I f in d him asleep, stretched across the bedT’I love you, Jack, ” I say, and he says, “W hat the heIII "/And then I cry before the telephone, I cry before the magic fingers bed/I cry before the orange and green decor!And while Good M orning American charms the nation out o f its dreams/I cry before the man who doesn’t want me any more. Bursting the bubble takes a different turn in “Hero,” in which Gallup has met her childhood hero, a radio personality, on a book tour and finds a limp handshake, empty eyes, a weak chin. She has little use for the usual conventions o f songwriting — rhyme, repitition, even melody much o f the time, and even in sorrow Gallup avoids the tortured self-obsession that is the curse o f much singer-song writer fare. The clarity o f her lyrical voice makes for a willing seduction, and contributes more to the idiom than a thousand senseless pop songs.

Even if you’ve never read Dilbert, you know todays workplace can do a number on your self-esteem. But at what point are your rights actually being violated? That’s the question on the agenda of an upcoming workshop sponsored by the Vermont Workers’ Center. The newly formed nonprofit broaches the legalities of such workaday issues as interview ques tions, reasons for firing and hiring, discrimination and on-the-job safety. Vermont’s homespun reputation aside, according to Workers’ Center Coordinator Jason Serota-Winston, the organiza tion’s hotline reveals “a lot of violations of workers’ rights going on.” Take a break and learn how to defend yours.

You don’t have to be an NEA grant applicant to know that art is a hard sell these days. But according to organizers of the upcoming Arts Conference ’99, it shouldn’t be that way — the arts contribute much more to a prosperous com munity than meets the eye. The two-day event brings together artists, arts leaders, community development professionals and state officials for panel discussions exploring the civic riches to be mined from an investment in the arts. Visiting public-arts advo cates from Arizona and New York City share the strategies that launched arts programs in their communities, while Vermont’s arts leaders are recognized for their achievements. Naturally, the conference also breaks into periodic fits of song, poetry and politi cal satire.

Crank Call continued from page 7 more often been crazed than anyone can know. I have reached such high peaks flood ed with light, but my soul had no strength to live there — and no one has realized the horrible torture from which I have tried to escape. Some day if you understand sorrow you will understand too all I have lived through, and then you will only think of the light toward which I have pointed and you will know the real Isadora is there.” I could not have guessed when I contracted to write Isadoras life that I would tell this part of her story in a con dition of searing, perfect pain. The grief my family feels for Barbaras two lost children has been delayed for 20 years and twisted by the fact that the wound, for the foreseeable future, will remain wide open — with salt poured into it. Otherwise, it’s the same grief anyone feels for the same irrev ocable loss. It is depthless, furi ous, disbelieving, ready at any time to be tipped into hope. There are so many things Barbaras daughters do not know, so many things they never learned. They don’t know, for example, that one of

their great-uncles, Raymond Schindler, was for many years the most famous private detec tive in America, profiled in The New Yorker, a regular at “21.” This sort of thing counts for a lot in Palm Beach. How often

O r later, now, when the censors say we didn’t look hard enough to find them. We know about cons. Here’s something else no one has told the girls: Their great-great-grandfather John R Schindler, a Universalist minis ter and partner with his sons, of the Schindler Bureau of Investigation, made a speech about crime to the League of Women Voters in Palm Beach in February 1934. It was in the wake of the Lindbergh kidnap ping and the Gloria Vanderbilt custody case. John F., a friend

or disobey is not a good American irrespective of his place in the community or social position,” Schindler told Palm Beach, years before the garish country clubs, the Kennedys, the Trumps, the wealthy stepmothers and stolen affections. “Kidnapping is child stealing. It involves two distinct crimes, assault and false impris onment. The offenses are aggravated by taking the victim forcibly to some other place. Both these offenses are felonies carrying severe penalties.” Remember that, children. You won’t be hearing it at home. ®

The Practice o f Mahamudra Mahamudra represents the highest level of teaching within Tibetan Bud dhism. It’s study and practice leads to the realization of the very nature of reality itself -there is not a single phenomenon which is not subsumed within the realizations of Mahamudra. The Practice of Mahamudra is H.H. Chetsang’s book of teach ings conferred during his 1994 U.S. visit, this book is the clearest presentation on Mahamudra meditation available. H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche, born in Tibet, is recognized as the 37th Drikung Kyabgon, head of the Drikung Kagyu order of Tibetan Buddhism. His Holiness will talk briefly on Mahamudra, and then sign books at the Borders event. H.H. Chetsang will join with other religous leaders in an Interfaith Symposium on June 9th at 7pm, at Burlington’s First Unitarian Universalist Church. For additional information about H.H.

By Marc Awodey arbara Wagner is an artist with the courage to change. Through a long process of evolution, the floral watercolors and interiors for which she became well-known during the 1980s have changed into dynamic abstractions in which varied textures, a free use of line and dynamic colors pre dominate. The 11 oil paintings currently on display at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne are from two similar series’ entitled “Vestiges Old & New” and “Seagrapes.” While vestiges of her old style do indeed inform the newer works, Wagner has crossed an artistic Rubicon to meet new chal lenges and expand her aesthetic horizons. There’s a touch of postimpressionism about these works. They are expressive per sonal monologues based on the traditional notion of a “window into space,” as opposed to the modernist assertion that non objective abstraction be removed from the real, everyday world of objects. The “Seagrapes” pieces gen erally contain more rounded and playful forms. One of the larger pieces, “Seagrapes #1,” a vertical 36" x 24" canvas, defines these small, rounded forms with the swirled brushwork that is present in most of the series. The foregrounds and middle grounds are warm and cool colors, and Wagner has layered her dovetailed fields with transparent paint, areas of impasto and spontaneously exe cuted lines that bring light and dark areas into unity. The painting contains pale crimsons and purples, comple mented by Naples yel low and dashes of warmer orange and reds. Five yellow dash es along the upper right impose unobtrusive structure in an oth erwise very fluid piece. The “Vestiges Old & New” series includes more angular

works. Just as the dashes in “Seagrapes #1” provide a struc tural element, “Vestiges Old & New #4” has circles running close to the edge of the canvas that hold the piece together. The circles create an amoeba like exterior “wall” for the smaller forms of the painting to move within. “Vestiges Old & New #3” has a particularly lively surface.

most utilized techniques for cre ating visual texture — collage, combed lines and scumbling — work together to enliven the surface. In addition, “Vestiges Old & New #3” counters the bright dom inant hues with earthy swaths o f raw umber and raw sienna, which also unify converse elements. “Vestiges Old & New #2” was constructed like a patch

Rose madder, alizerin crimson and variations o f blue all vie to be the dom inant color, while vari ous greens modulate toward yel low throughout. Like most of the other works in this show, the piece is also richly pat terned. Large, vaguely floral forms in the lower left alternate between green with a red cen ter, crimson with a green center, green with a yellow center — all reminiscent o f Wagners ear lier themes. But these are the only some what recognizable forms. In the other areas wavy lines, blotches of brilliant hue and soft geo metric shapes all seem to indi cate where the artist is going, rather than where she’s been. ®

SHOW ME THE MONKEY Gooding gets Hopkins to share painful memories of gorilla warfare.

INSTINCT*** In the new film from Phenomenon director Jon Turteltaub, Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. endeavor to prove that charisma and acting licks can make up for a script that’s hardly more than a parade of cornball movie moments and hot-button cliches. The two are so good they very nearly pull it off. Too bad Turteltaub isn’t in their league. Loosely based on the Daniel Quinn novel Ishmael, Instinct gives us England’s greatest thespian in the role of a world-famous anthropologist who’s spent years in the jungle of Rwanda living with a group of mountain gorillas before, apparently, flip ping out and killing two park rangers. Cuba’s a hotshot psychiatric resident who asks for the opportu nity to do the strange old man’s evaluation, think ing it could lead to new insight into the psychology o f primitive man — and, more importantly, to a book deal. In the course of their encounters, roles reverse as psychiatrist and prisoner gradually become stu dent and master. Hopkins opens up bit by bit to his young examiner and, in the process, paints a portrait of paradise regained. The script’s fuzzy on the details, though. In the course of eating, sleep ing, frolicking and getting rained on with the goril las, the primatologist begins hatching wild theories about the history of mankind and the precise point in the evolutionary process where Homo sapiens went wrong.

Holy back-to-the-garden, Batman — I haven’t heard this much half-baked, recycled gobbledygook about living in harmony with the planet since the last Billy Jack sequel! Thankfully, there’s more to the story, although most of that is pretty standard stuff about misun derstood, psychotic prisoners and the sadistic guards who don’t make life quite as much fun for them as Cuba would like. As he hooted, hollered and and jumped around in one of his trademark moments, I wanted to whisper in his ear, “T hat’s al fine, but they are, you know, convicted murderers. How about we save the whales instead of the killer sharks, OK?” So, I know it sounds like I didn’t like the movie much, but the fact is, I was entranced through much of it. Hopkins and Gooding give powerful performances. Some o f the family dynamics involved — Hopkins left his daughter for the jun gle when she was very young, and she yearns for reunion — are touching. The film’s crackerjack sur prise is the marvelous work done by the legendary Stan Winston, the effects genius behind such fea ture creatures as The Queen Alien, The Predator, Th Terminator and the T-rex and raptors from the Jurassic Park films. W inston’s gorillas are so seam lessly real you can almost see affection — and later, terror — in their eyes. Great thespians, high-grade monkeys and a soso script: Jungle sagas have been bungled a whole lot worse than this one. ®

Car UNSIGHTLY BRAKE DUST VEXES READER D ear Tom an d Ray, W hat can be done about brake dust? It gets a ll over wheel rim s an d tires a n d streaks with black smudges when the dust gets wet. Someone suggested little p las tic discs th at go between the brakes an d the wheels, but I'm afraid to use these because they probably reduce the airflow to the brakes. Any thoughts? — Henry

TOM: Brake dust is one of the great scourages of the late 20th century, Henry. It's like malaria was in the late 19th century. RAY: Or like those hideous powdered wigs in the late 18th century.

TOM: For those of you who have never heard of brake dust, it's just the natural powdered residue that comes off the brake pads as they get worn down. RAY: And on certain cars — due to the design of the wheel and the airflow around the brakes — that dust ends up all over your nice, expensive alloy wheels. My wife drives a Volvo, and the brake dust on that car is absolutely terrible. And unless you're willing to wash your wheels once a week, there's not much you can do about it. TOM: You can even buy some special goop that's designed to clean the brake dust off alloy wheels, but according to my brother, even that stuff doesn't do Jack. RAY: Nope. Tried it. The brake dust just bounces off of it. It's like shooting bullets at Superman.

NEW ENGLAND CULINARY INSTITUTE has the following positions open: Husky plant in MiIton—Di shwasher/kitchen Prep Person. This position is part-time regular. Responsi bilities include washing dishes and maintaining sanitation standards in the dish room. Must be punctual and reliable. Afternoon hours, approximately Noon-4 p.m. Apply in person at the Husky kitchen after 2 p.m. Inn at Essex—Banquet Captain. Responsible for assisting and supervising staff for on- and off-premise events. This position is responsible for proper set-up, service and breakdown of assigned ban quet function, ensuring maxi mum customer satisfaction (including guests, staff, stu dents), creation of a quality educational environment and maximum profitability for the catering operation. The Banquet Captain also supervis es the waitstaff and bartenders in the abscence of the Catering Manager. Flexible schedule, weekends a must. Ask for Harold Cross or Cindy Workman at the Inn at Essex. Inn at Essex—Banquet Servers. Part-time positions for summer. Responsible for the set-up, service and break down of banquet functions. Must be punctual, have a neat and pro fessional appearance and be skilled in customer service. Experience preferred, but will train you. Ask for Harold Cross or Cindy Workman at the Inn at Essex. OUTDOOR SUMMER WORK: Socially responsible, serviceoriented, top-end residential painting company seeks bright, team-oriented men & women for summer employment. Painters w/ some exterior expe rience welcome. Call Paul, Lafayette Painting, 863-5397.

TOM: And you're right not to use the dust deflectors, because they do trap heat and could cause your discs to warp. RAY: So we don't have a good solution for brake dust, Henry (as you've doubtlessly already noticed). I'm thinking about just painting my wife's alloy wheels black. That won't do anything to stop the dust, but at least it will hide it better, and I won't have to look at it. D ear Tom an d Ray, I have a ’9 4 H onda Accord station wagon. L ast year, I stalled because the brake p e d al became hard an d slowed the car to where I couldn't keep driving. While w aiting fo r a tow, the brake p e d al came back to normal. It hap pened again recently, an d this time smoke was coming out o f the brake, The mechanic told me it's the caliper. Another mechanic told me there is no problem with my caliper. A gain, the car returned to norm al afier two hours. W hat do you think is wrong? — Tito

RAY: Well, if mechanic No. 2 actually inspected the calipers and determined that the slides and pistons are all moving freely and easily, then he's probably right — it's unlikely to be a caliper problem. TOM: Plus, a bad caliper won't make the pedal get hard. RAY: So I’d suspect the powerbrake booster. The booster is a device that provides the "boost" of "power" to your power brakes. It multiplies the effort of your foot on the brake pedal and applies that force to the pis ton of the master cylinder. TOM: If the booster is faulty, it could provide pressure to the brakes even when your foot is off the pedal. The result would be that it would seem like you were stepping on the brakes even when you weren't. RAY: Here's how you test it. Next time you experience this condition, pull over and yank your Sears 16,598-piece tool kit out of the trunk. Or, alterna tively, grab a pair of Vise-Grips. Unbolt the brake master cylin der from the booster. If brake

pressure is immediately released and the car moves freely, then your problem is the booster. TOM: If separating the booster from the master cylinder does not solve the problem, then you may have a faulty master cylin der. RAY: But assuming your mechanic has accurately inspected the caliper, I'd put money on the booster, Tito. H ow can you tell i f a used car is in good condition — or even OK, fo r th at m atter?

broader mechanism is responsible for consciousness? — Jeremy Fields, Evanston, Illinois

D ear Cecil, You say you can deliver the Straight Dope on any topic. Try this one. Who am I? or Who is the knower? or What is consciousness? (All the same question, roughly.) I f consciousness (which we a ll experience intimately) is merely an epiphenomenon o f the mind, which is an epiphenomenon o f the brain, then there must be a physical mecha nism in the brain that accounts fo r it. But then the same question can be (and must be) asked again: What submechanism within the

Whoa. Let’s see if I can get through this pup in 600 words or less. Though small minds might consider it a thumb sucker, inquiry into consciousness has been one of the central debates in the field of artificial intelligence. In 1950, when “thinking machines” first seemed a real possibility, computer pioneer Alan Turing reasoned that since consciousness is subjective and thus inscrutable, the only way we can know if a computer is intelligent is to ask it questions. If its answers can’t be distinguished from those of a human, the computer has to be considered intelligent. Some people took this a step farther. A machine that passed the Turing test, they argued, wouldn’t merely simulate thought, it would honest to God think. No way, said the skeptics. The best-known argument, formu lated in 1980 by the philosopher John Searle, went like this: Suppose I’m locked in a black box with two slots in it marked “Input” and “Output.” Pieces of paper with black squiggles on them are periodically shoved through the Input slot. My job is to look up the squiggles in a rule book I’ve been given and shove pieces o f paper marked with other black squiggles through the Output slot as the rule book directs. Unbeknownst to me, the black squiggles are Chinese charac ters. Outside the black box, scientists have been inputting ques tions in Chinese, and I’ve been sending back Chinese responses. My answers have convinced the scientists that the black box understands Chinese. But I don’t understand Chinese at all! So how can a computer, which operates in the same way, be said to understand Chinese — by extension, to think? Ah, said proponents. You don’t understand Chinese. But the system as a whole (you + the rule book + the box) does. Nonsense, replied Searle. Suppose I memorize the rule book and dispense with the black box. Now I constitute the whole of the system. People hand me symbols; I respond with other sym bols based on the rules. I appear to understand Chinese, but I don’t. I merely display a facility in Chinese syntax. Chinese seman tics, the essence of thought, eludes me. Just so with computers.

You don’t get it, the other side responded. Is not the human brain a machine? Does it not consist of zillions of neurons, no one of which can be said to think? Yet the brain as a whole has thoughts, understands Chinese, etc. Could not this machine be replicated? O f course, said Searle. Artificial intelligence may be possible. It’s just not likely to arise from computers as currently under stood. That’s the gut issue, you see. A key assumption among some AI researchers has been that computers and the human brain work in similar ways, that with the rapid improvement of com puter technology it’s only a matter of time until we’re able to pro duce artificial consciousness. In his book The Age o f Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence, computer scientist Ray Kurzweil predicts that soon we’ll be able to copy our brains into computers and thereby attain immortality. To which the Searles of the world say: Yeah, right. There’s strong evidence that computers and the brain are fundamentally different. For example, AI researcher Douglas Lenat has been try ing to teach a computer common sense. He estimates this will require 100 million discrete chunks of information, and 15 years into the project he guesses it will take his team another 25 years to enter all the necessary data. Yet a normal human being learns it all effortlessly in childhood. Nobody really knows how consciousness arises, but it seems evident there’s more to it than computer programs. Some believe the brain needs to be installed in a body. I venture to say that some breadth o f sensory input and the ability to interact with your environment in complex ways — in short, to learn — are also required. We’re nowhere near producing machines that can do this now, and claims to the contrary are just hype. Sure, maybe the com puter Deep Blue can beat a human at chess, but all that means is that a team o f programmers toiling for years can build a machine that surpasses a human at a single task. As Searle points out in a review o f Kurzweil’s book, do we freak out because a pocket cal culator can outdo us at math? — C E C IL ADAM S

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “Opportunity is often difficult to rec ognize,” said William Arthur Ward. “We usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards.” Amen to that, brothers and sisters. It’s exact ly what you need to hear now that you’re on the verge of missing a quiet but juicy invitation that is slipping through the shadows. If you don’t notice the good fortune soon, it might have to resort to tripping you up and making you fall on your face.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Even as we speak, a talent scout who has the power to change your life is getting goose bumps. Figure out why, and capitalize on it. Meanwhile, a few miles away, a chameleon who’s always had your number just lost it. Find out more, and take advantage o f it. If that’s not enough to keep you busy, I’ll clue you in to the fact that two cool fools only recently realized you have something they want. Discover what, and exploit it. (P.S.: I should also mention that there’s a wild thing out there who would love to lick your hand. Ascertain who and why, etc.)

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): The colors I usually associate with the sign o f Gemini are sky blue, lemon yellow and shiny silver: airy, adept, adaptable hues. These days, though, my mind’s eye is awash in a lush swath o f grassy green whenever I turn my psychic attention to you. I’m con vinced that’s because you’re in the throes of one of your all-time greatest growing periods. You’re a teeming flurry o f blooms; a lavish swarm o f exuberance; a fertile flourish of succu lence. • •' *

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): v* Although I regard T V as the most ingenious poison ever designed, I’ll never put a “Kill Your Television” bumpersticker on my car. My attitude is that no matter how morally justi fied my anger is, hating hateful things

just makes me sick and perpetuates the “Us versus Them” thinking I cru sade against. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, then, that my eight-yearold daughter has taken my stance one step further. On those rare occasions when we watch TV, she’ll sometimes jump up and start dancing and singing along with the commercials. I don’t think I’m reading too much into it when I say she’s doing a mock celebration. And that’s exacdy what I recommend for you this week, Cancer. In the face of forces that oppose your values, show off your most cheerful, uproarious self.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Do you know the difference between bullshit and horseshit? Village Voice writer Alan Cabal defined the former as “creative, inspired mythmaking intended to provoke growth,” and the latter as “pernicious carny scams” or “bottom-feeder derivative manipula tion.” My horoscopes, for example, are fine examples o f bullshit, while the lyrics and shtick of Marilyn Manson embody the essence of horse shit. I’m sure you’ll soon be deluged by both, Leo, so start cultivating your power to tell them apart now.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you’ve dreamed and schemed for years about becoming an Est^e Lauder spokesmodel, there has never been a more propitious moment to make it happen than the next 20 days. Likewise, if you’ve been angling for a Fulbright scholarship, an invita tion to play in a celebrity golf match, or a chance to get away with insulting a dude on a Harley-Davidson: This is the time of all times it’s likely to come to pass. The planetary influ ences are inciting your ambitions to the max, while at the same time con

...- , , U

spiring to maneuver the whole world into helping you quench those ambi tions. So save the milk-and-cookie marathons in front of the TV for a less opportune moment. For now, give yourself gleefully to the task of building your legacy.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In his book The World’s Wasted Wealth, J.W. Smith notes that despite all of our supposed conveniences, we mod ern folks do more hard labor than any society in history. The average work day of the worlds surviving hunter-gatherers is barely four hours, for instance. Even during the Middle Ages, people had more leisure time than we do today. I realize it may be impossible for you to stage a perma nent rebellion against the oppressive workload you’re expected to shoulder, Libra, but it’s crucial that during the next two weeks you carve out far more playtime than usual. Try to live up to Benjamin Franklin’s proposal that if everyone toiled efficiendy, five hours a day would be plenty.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I saw the Burmese priestess kiss the King Cobra three times, stilling the beast’s predatory fever with the grace notes o f her dance. I watched the paramedic lower herself down precariously off the bridge to nab the child in shock on the tiny rock island. In a dream I beheld you star ing down a slimy gargoyle that had crawled out from under your bed, and I marveled as you summoned the gall to ask for and receive a boon from that ugly thing.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Two talking Sagittarian porcupines are making love in a cac tus garden. It’s a prickly experience,

I I

but that’s how they like it. Amidst the love moans, one porcupine is heard to mutter, “I always get horny when things get thorny.” Next door in a rose garden, a Sagittarian unicorn wearing a crown of thorns receives acupuncture from a Sagittarian hor net. The unicorn coos, “It only hurts when you stop.” What’s it all mean? It might be time for you Centaurs to gamble on a ramble through the brambles.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Your thought for the week comes from Michael Grosso’s book, Millennium Myth: Love and Death at the End o f Time. “The great challenge to self-knowledge,” he asserts, “is blind attachment to our virtues. It is hard to criticize what we think are our virtues. Although the spirit lan guishes without ideals, idealism can be the greatest danger.” What I’m try ing to tell you, Capricorn, is that your wonderful qualities, not your flaws, will be at the root o f any diffi culties you face in the next couple weeks. In fact, the best way to pre vent problems from erupting in the first place is to set aside a time to take a stern and critical inventory of your goodness and talents.

iuty to subvert the tyranny o f le old-boy network. It’s your Righteous obligation to crack lown against the crimes of ^mediocre traditions. Be the lone wolf who blazes all the trails the scaredy-cats are afraid to tread.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): “Dear Dr. Brezsny: Help! My old Buick’s transmission is dead, my cred it cards are maxed, my kid’s got to see the dentist real bad, and the onespeed bike I ride to work is about to collapse. I’m working two jobs already but I’ve applied for another as a strip-club dancer, only I’m having so much mysterious pain in my joints I’m not sure how sexy my gyrations could be. Please pray for me, or let me know when a good luck streak is coming so I can pace myself. — Pickled Pisces.” Dear Pickled: You should have asked sooner! Just as the flapping o f a butterfly’s wings in Bangkok can impact the cloud pat terns in Baltimore, your forcefully articulated plea for help has diverted a riptide o f cosmic blessings in the Piscean direction. Its waves should start crashing over you no later than June 14. ® a d tA

You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night for your

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The makers o f the rules would never admit it, but they’d perish with out the breakers o f the rules. Cliques become moldy without the cleansing action of mavericks and dissidents. And that’s why, my creative trouble maker, I’m calling on your rebel skills now. Nobody calls bluffs and busts phonies better than you. N o one can spearhead an insurrection with as much good-time panache as you. So rise up, all you heretics and pioneers and rabble-rousers! It’s your social

Dear Lola, I’ve been calling a tew women in the per sonal ads, but they don’t call me back, and I’m wondering it it’s because of my voice. People have always told me that I mumble, but I can’t seem to help it. Truth is, I have an intense and inexplica ble dislike ot my own voice. I even put snip pets ct craters on my answering machine instead ct a message — the latest is Winston Churchill. What do you think this means? Please advise. Speechless in St. Albans Dear Speechless, I’ll bet it’s not the mumbling that’s turning the ladies ott> but the snippets ct craters on the answering machine. I'll bet the women are returning your calls, but when they hear Winston Churchill at the other end, they change their minds. No one I know wants to date a dead Brit with a cigar stuck in his puss. Lose the cute tape, and do try to speak up. And it all else tails, stick to the "letters only” sec ure,
