ARAFAT THE "OCCUPIER" Roz Payne [Letters, May 29] sees Palestinians at checkpoints and casually infers some form of Israeli apartheid. She witnesses controls on Palestinian travel and has no clue why. It is not rocket science to understand why Israel has checkpoints and controls travel. The true "occupier" of the Palestinian people is Yasser Arafat and his totalitarian thugs who have done nothing to gain peace, freedom and justice for their people. Theirs is an anti-democratic, corrupt, patriarchic gang of men that could care less who it steps on in its obsession to destroy the Jews of Israel. — Stephen McArthur Berlin NOT SO STRAIGHT DOPE? In your May 29 issue, Cecil Adams' "The Straight Dope" may have taken a wrong turn. Secondhand, he badmouths WWII resource recycling. Since I have been recycling since 1927, I realize that, while some glitches may have occurred, there's been dollars in trash all along. Fortysix years ago in suburban Philadelphia the Boy Scouts had periodic newspaper collections, in tons. A junkyard gave us the

free use of a truck to do the collection and paid the troop at least two cents per pound. I found the same possibility when I came to Vermont, plus one cent per magazine. Aluminum, copper and lead have always been in demand. I could go on and on, so just one more example. Shortly before Thanksgiving 1967, the Alpha Gamma Rho boys at UVM wanted to raise money for food baskets for indigent people. We had seen a pile of old castings and other recyclables behind a university building. On inquiry we found the materials were headed to the landfill at a cost to UVM. They were glad to have us take over. The junkyard paid the boys about $70 to add to their holiday contributions. If recyclables had value in peacetime, isn't it logical they would have even greater value in the critical war years? Maybe Adams would do some search and research with an open mind? — Joseph Bornstein Burlington MIXED-UP FLICKS Please get your movie previews/shorts straight.

I think that it is just great that Kate Carter was able to have such a wonderful career doing something that she loves and is good at and she wasn't forced into the box of going to college. Being a high school senior, the pressures of attending college have peaked in this last semester.

people who connect in an Italian class, not about "three couples who travel together to Venice and the complications that arrive." There is no "boy" in Lord of the Rings. Monsoon Wedding is a look at the intricacies of family ties in India, and certainly not "a comic look at marriages," as one of the central themes is incest. And while I'm at it, your movie reviewers often make the mistake of confusing a description of the plot of the movie (and giving away far too much) with a review of a movie.

No Way, Jose! With each day it becomes clearer that the greatest threat to America post 9/11 is not Osama bin Laden. No, the greatest threat to America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, is President George W. Bush.

That he was a teen-age punk who got into trouble and went to jail, where he became a Muslim. Wag, wag, wag. But Abdullah, er, Jose is an American citizen. He was born here. And Mr. Padilla is today an American citizen who has had his constitutional rights stripped away by order of George W. Bush. The fact is, Jose has been in custody since getting off a plane from Pakistan a month ago. And after all that time, Mr. Ashcroft didn't even have enough evidence to charge Jose with a misdemeanor. Instead, this American citizen is magically redefined into an "enemy soldier" and held incommunicado. Wag, wag, wag. Folks, if Dubya can do it to Jose, he can do it to you. The truth is, no amount of presidential tail-wagging can erase the fact that since 9/11 this President has taken no action that would have stopped

We know that immediately after the strikes on September 11, Dubya's first response was to run and hide. We know that Dubya's chief political advisor, Karl Rove, planted false stories in the press that Bush was on the run that day because of intelligence reports indicating Air Force One was a target. Not true. To this day, Dubya has never explained his race to an underground bunker in Nebraska while Mayor Rlldi Giuliani raced to Ground Zero.

Tasty Concoctions •V"' A Japanese company has ? developed a snack for dogs made from "bovine windpipes." The Hiroshima manufacturer said that the chewy product strengthens teeth and fights canine bad breath. Also, an Osaka university research team announced that it has "enhanced the healthful properties of pork fat by transplanting a spinach gene into a pig." Hot Money Firefighters responding to an apartment fire in Mount Vernon, New York, quickly extinguished the blaze but called police when they learned the source. "We found out it was U.S. currency that was burning," Fire Chief Ed Bruno said. "A lot of it." After finding $10,780 and some ashes in the oven, police said that the boyfriend of the woman who lived in the apartment apparently hid $20,000 in cash, which caught fire from the pilot light. "We are trying to determine if there is a criminal element to this," police detective Capt. Robert Kelly said. • Police in Penrith, Australia, reported that someone backed av stolen 11-ton truck through the window of a service station, attached chains to an automatic teller machine, dragged it from the building and took off. As

the abandoned truck, "because the cash all went up in flames." Wrong Place, Wrong Time Shawn Sullivan, 33, took first place in the heavyweight belly-flopping contest during Red Belly Day festivities in Fanning Springs, Florida, this Memorial Day, winning a trophy and $100. After a picture of his winning flop appeared in the Gainesville Sun, however, he was arrested for violating a court order to "remain confined to your approved residence except for an hour before or after your approved employment, public service work or any other special activity." "I guess belly flopping doesn't count," Sullivan said. • Sheriff's deputies at a music festival in Pasco County, Florida, spotted Korey Bradd Henderson, 25, wearing a bright orange uniform marked "Polk County Jail." They contacted the jail, which said the

arrested because he was supposed to be on home detention and had sworn that he stayed home that weekend. • When police in Miami Beach, Florida, showed up to arrest a 19-year-old man in connection with a shooting, they learned that he was already at the courthouse, having reported for jury duty. Detectives summoned the suspect to the front desk, then arrested him. "He went there to do his civic duty," Capt. Tom Hunker said. "We followed him and did ours." • Jeffrey Price Barber, 44, decided to play a joke on his wife, so he smeared ketchup all over himself, grabbed his .22-caliber rifle, fired a shot and lay down on the floor of their home in Richburg, South Carolina. His wife heard the shot, found his body on the floor and called 911. When sheriff s deputies responded, Barber explained what had happened, but they checked and found out that he

T a n z a n i t e ,

had a police record. They arrested him for being a felon in possession of a firearm. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 15years-to-life in prison. • After a sergeant at Savannah, Georgia, Police Precinct 3 told beat officers during roll call to be on the lookout for a stolen green Honda Accord, officers headed for their patrol cars. Officer Harry Henderson spotted the Honda next to his. "Thinking this too good to be true, Henderson went back in the precinct to check the lookout information," police representative Bucky Burnsed said, explaining that the driver had parked the stolen car to go inside the station to talk with his girlfriend, who was there on another matter. Officers arrested Terrance Frazier, 17. Homeland Security A man who arrived at San Francisco airport as part of a tour from Shanghai was detained while trying to board a connecting flight to New York when authorities spotted a pair of suspicious shoes in his carryon bag. The shoes had wires and batteries, but the passenger speaks little English and could not explain what the shoes were for or how to disconnect the batteries. Although police determined that the shoes were not dangerous and contained no

explosives, they confiscated them and blew them up anyway. Afterward, airport representative Ron Wilson explained that the shoes were designed to heat up and keep the wearer's feet warm. Reality Check . After the German manufacturer Siemens won a contract to build 785 railway cars for Britain's South West Trains, it announced it would spend $14.5 million to duplicate the dilapidated condition of British commuter train lines to test the cars. Modifications to the company's test track include deliberately inserting gaps between sections of tracks, making track heights and gauge widths uneven and installing an erratic electrical supply. "It's a step backwards for them in technical terms," SWT Managing Director Andrew Haines said, "but the result should be better for our passenger." • Philippe De Coene, a city councilor in Kortrijk, Belgium, proposed building a portable forest to show citizens the advantages of having trees. The plan involves loading several hundred trees into a 40-foot container and wheeling it to different areas of the city. "I'm convinced it won't be expensive," De Coene said. "Crazy ideas aren't always expensive." ®

stood leaning against the

rear fender of .my cab as the evening Amtrak came to a noisy stop. It was early June and I didn't expect much. The students were gone and the summer tourist season wouldn't begin in earnest for a few weeks. I was watching a few travelers disembark from the front coach when a voice called out from behind me. "Hey, man! Yo, cabbie!" It was a tall black man in his mid-twenties whom I recognized as a fare from this past winter, maybe around Christmas. "You remember me?" he asked. "I'm Tony. Can you give me a ride again?" "Sure, good to see you, Tony," I replied. "Jump in the front. You're in the South End, right?" Good memory," he said as he climbed in, stashing a small pack at his feet. "I'm on Wells." "Sir, do you know where the shelter is in Burlington?" I turned back to the window to face a woman, also in her twenties, carrying a crammed backpack and two worn suitcases. Her long auburn hair, which showed signs of premature graying, was pinned up in a makeshift bun with strands falling around her face. Her torso seemed sunken, not just from the weight of the bags she carried. She looked like a recently released prisoner of war. "Yeah, I do," I replied. "D'ya need a ride there?" "I do need a ride, but I don't have much money." "How about two bucks? Can you manage that?" Her sad blue eyes seemed to light up for a moment and, peripherally, I noticed Tony nod a couple of times. This was a relief, because I knew he knew his ride was going to be more than two dollars. "Thanks," she replied. "That'll be great." I loaded her personal effects into the trunk and, as we got

underway, I recalled more of my earlier ride with the guy sitting next to me. Tony worked at the hospital — as a technician of some sort, I think — and, like me, he was a big NBA fan. He must have been thinking along the same lines, because as we approached the fairgrounds he said, "Man, you

soapcfeh 1 were right about those Knicks; their collapse this year was total." "Yeah, but what about the Nets?" I said, "Jason Kidd has been simply awesome. Who would have thought —" "Wow, you have A&Ps here," the woman in the back commented, oblivious to our conversation. "That's great." "Burlington ain't in the boonies," my seatmate jumped in, switching gears. "We have everything up here. Where are you from?" "I'm from Hartford. I had to leave town wicked quick. Things were not working out for me down there." "Well, Burlington's a good place. You get yourself settled, I'm sure you'll do real well." "What about work? I got to work; I need to get some money." Tony pivoted in his seat to face the woman in the back. "This is what you do," he said. "On North Winooski Avenue there's a storefront that offers daily pay for daily work. You show up there tomorrow, I'm sure you can catch some day work." I glanced up at my rearview and saw the woman break into a big smile. "Thanks so much, dude. So far Burlington is turning out to be one friendly town!" We reached the homeless shelter on lower Church Street and I unloaded the woman's

On the way to his home, Tony and I talked about the ongoing basketball playoffs. For a lot of men — and I'm one of them — sports talk is a satisfying form of male intimacy. Tony seemed to enjoy it, too. We pulled in front of his place on Wells Street. He thanked me for the ride, handed me some bills and got out. As he made his way up the brick path to his front door, I noticed he had given me four bills — two ones and two tens. "Hey, Tony!" I called from my open window. "I think you made a mistake. The fare was 12 dollars and you gave me 22." He looked over his shoulder and said, "No, it's okay. That's to cover the homeless girl." I nodded. He nodded back. I drove back downtown, my eyes welling with tears. What an unaffected gesture of kindness, I thought, performed without a shred of self-congratulation. He wouldn't have said a word unless I had asked. And that was the part that moved me the most. I found myself easing over to the side of the road and cutting the engine. Above me the night sky was completing its transformation from blue to black. In this dog-eat-dog world, I pondered, how does a person develop a heart like Tony's? ®

moving Objects After curating exhibitions at the Fleming Museum for 11 years, Janie Cohen is taking over as director on July 1. The 45-year-old Burlington resident has already proven she has the vision — and the connections — to deliver the big picture. She masterminded a Picasso print show that graced the Queen City seven years ago. Ditto a eugenics installation, a Rauschenberg print show and an exhibit of visual art by Giinther Grass. Next year she's bringing works by Andy Warhol and Rembrandt. Broad horizons haven't compromised her local focus, though. A natural diplomat who lives right on Church Street, Cohen has been involved in virtually every visual arts endeavor in northwestern Vermont, including the Firehouse Gallery, Art's Alive, the South End Art Hop and the Exquisite Corpse Artsite at Jager DiPaola Kemp Design. The late Burlington photographer Wes Disney bequeathed his entire body of work to her. Along with making the Fleming "an even more accessible place than it currently is," Cohen hopes to work more collaboratively with other museums within the state. She also needs a new curator. "It takes more than one person to manage a collection of 20,000 objects and an exhibition program of 10 shows a year," she suggests. Not to mention a growing inventory of public art. . . Barre sculptor Jim Sardonis — of "Whales Tails" fame — is hard at work on a new piece for the University of Vermont campus. University officials loved the idea of a fossil carved from black Isle La Motte marble for the atrium of the Perkins Geology Museum. "It's a forerunner to the spiral Nautilus shell," Sardonis says of the piece, which is a combination of rough and polished rock. He expects it to be done by fall, before construction at the Perkins is completed. Until then, it will sit on the green in front of the Fleming. No slouch, Sardonis recently crafted a sculpture for Harvard Medical School — the Global Environmental Citizen Award — that went to Harrison Ford. book ends Calais must have more published writers per capita than any other town in Vermont. And the authorial outpost gets a little more exposure in Mirror Lake, a debut novel by Tom Greene due out next year from Simon and Schuster. Editor-in-chief Michael Korda, who also worked with Tennessee Williams and Larry McMurtry, barely touched the manuscript. "They changed six words and added a comma," reports the incredulous Greene, a graduate of the writing program at Vermont College, where he currently works as communications director. In the meantime he's signed a two-book deal with Random House in England and another one with the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann. "We are also getting a tremendous amount of interest from Hollywood," Greene adds, describing the book as "two intertwining love stories set in Vermont." He has since moved to Montpelier, where he was one of the wannabes in a regular writers group . . . A second stand-out in the same klatch, Slizi Wizowaty, also got lucky this year. The former librarian at South Burlington sold her first novel to University Press of New England. The Round Barn constructs multiple story lines around the acquisition and relocation of an historic farm building. Novelist Chris Bohjalian calls it "a delightful homage to a New England in transition, and to the people who live there — a Winesburg, Ohio for Vermont". . . Sarah Strohmeyer wouldn't be caught dead in a writer's group. But the Montpelier mystery maker did recently attend a "Malice Domestic" convention, where she picked up an Agatha Christie Award for Best First Mystery. She got the "people's choice" for Bubbles Unbound, the book that launched the detective career of her big-haired, short-skirted protagonist. Bubbles Yablonsky makes Nancy Drew look like a nun. She also seems to share some genetic material with the subject of Strohmeyer's first book, a non-fiction parody of the Barbie doll. Her latest, Bubbles in Trouble, is out this month from Dutton. hard-pressed Not too many commercial printers have a client list that includes the Met, the Guggenheim, the Getty and the Smithsonian. High-quality reproductions, rare books and limited editions are the specialty of the Stinehour Press in Lunenburg — a 50year-old family business that sold out to an Irish public holding company in 1998. The company was languishing under its out-of-town owners when three investors from Chicago put together a deal that allowed Stephen Stinehour and Ric Walter to buy it back last December. Tom Yoder, Bob McCamant and Bob Roth — all owners of the alternative weekly Chicago Reader — are now partners in the business with Stinehour and Walter. "The whole company has turned around," according to receptionist Cynthia Tardiff. "The life is back in it." Sales coordinator Ruth Leporati agrees. "They want to keep it alive and operating as it is," she says of the Windy City slickers, "not try to kill us." Don't stop the presses. ®

hat does it mean to a young girl to have a loving father — or not to have one? Go to any bookstore and you'll find authors insisting on the need for male role models in a young boy's development; visit any multiplex and you can see a teary celebration of the mother-daughter bond. The father-daughter relationship gets less press, perhaps because we assume the feelings

provide, deeper even than his affection and support. The novel is narrated by Elaine Cynthia Potter — the author's given name — whose birth certificate bears "an empty space with a line drawn through it" where a father's name should be. The story that produced that space is all too ordinary: a stormy break-up, a bitter mother and a father who was already well practiced in the art of ignoring his illegitimate children. But what it means to the adult narrator is a sense of being

Despite the Father's Day timing, there is nothing Hallmarkish about this book. In her previous works, both fiction and memoir, Kincaid has shown herself to be an expert on the exquisite anguish that relations can inflict on each other, with or without malice. Always at the forefront has been the figure of her mother, a woman so powerful, both in her love and in her brutal disapproval, that her daughter often wondered if she was capable of surviving her.

We joke about "daddy's girls" and "mama's boys," as if the primary purpose of the other parent were to spoil us rotten. And yet, as Bennington author Jamaica Kincaid shows us in her new novel, Mr. Potter, the girl who grows up fatherless is missing something deeper than the material goodies a father can

"doomed" to a life lived without full knowledge of her past. Going on heresay until she finally encounters him as an adult, she knows Mr. Potter only as an „ enigma — she calls him "my specter." And in her alienation from him, the daughter comes to feel like a specter too: "Not only did he ignore me, he made sure that until the day he died, I did not exist at all."

Mother, Kincaid showed us how this woman might have told her own life story: angrily, poetically, in a first-person voice that took no prisoners. Like Autobiography, Mr. Potter is a novel, leaving us to wonder whether the narrator of the book is in fact Kincaid and Mr. Potter, her father. Yet this narrator sounds like a researcher pursuing an elusive subject. She never takes us far

any of Kincaid's previous works, it reads like a transcription of an oral narrative, something meant to be recited or sung rather than read. As in a piece of music, the forward motion of the story often gives way to a circling one in which themes, ideas and even phrases repeat themselves. Long, spiraling sentences bring us back again and again to the authors constants: [Nathaniel Potter] died, and he left Mr. Potter, his son, and Mr. Potter was my father, my father's name was Roderick Potter. These repetitions can be frustrating, especially early in the book, and some passages could benefit from editing. Yet the repetition ultimately works in that it shows us the narrator dancing around the abyss where her father should have been. The echoes give us a sense that, no matter what the daughter may learn about her father, at the center of his — and her — story is this empty space: "My present, at any given moment, will echo his absence." Sometimes Kincaid's style feels like poetry, sometimes like a magical incantation whose purpose is to raise a dead man and make him speak, to "remove him from the great and everlasting silence." Throughout the book the narrator reminds us that she can make her father speak, or at least try to, because she can read ? and write. Mr. Potter, an illiterate, has left no account of his life; ironically, only the daughter he ignored can memorialize him. Kincaid gets hold of a fascinating theme here: the power we wield when we tell other people's stories. Many novels tackle the problem of healing the painful rifts between parent and adult child: Think of Rebecca Wells' cult bestseller, Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood. But few of these stories acknowledge that writing down bitter memories allows the child not just to experience closure but to exact revenge. What vengeance could be sweeter than telling your version of the family dysfunction when it's too late for your parents to counter with their side of the story? Kincaid's narrator resists any temptation she might have had to turn her absentee father into a villain or a victim, choosing instead to keep her focus on the simple, undeniable facts of his life. Yet she reminds us repeatedly that the Mr. Potter we see is her creation, woven from a composite of reality and imagination: "In this way I make Mr. Potter and in this way I unmake Mr. Potter." Mr. Potter is less a tribute to a father than it is to the creative power that enables a daughter to break the patterns of her past. ®

very morning over breakfast, my father would read The New York Times. Then he would leave the paper on the table for my mother, and on his way to the bus, buy a second copy to read during the 45-minute commute from our home in New Jersey to New York City. Then all day long at the office, he would work at putting out the next days edition. He worked at the Times from 1958 until 1991 — for all but about 10 of those years as assistant national news editor, with responsibilities for political coverage. During my summers home from college, I lived with my parents and took the bus with my father to a job I had in the city. I loved those cool Montclair morn-

closest my father and I had ever been. He died eight years ago. But coming to work at Seven Days as assistant editor — a title that sounds so similar to his — has made me feel close to him again.

In spite of these differences, when I'm sitting here at my new desk checking facts or asking a writer to clarify a detail, I can't help but feel as if my father is peering over my shoulder. Sometimes I imagine him smiling with pride. But just as often, his look feels more critical.

children betrayed ignorance about some current event, he would storm, "You've got to read the paper!" At work, he could be even more gruff. Once he confessed to my mother that he'd snapped at a young reporter, reducing her to tears. He snapped at me plenty, too, especially when I made the mistake of calling him at work just before deadline time. My father spent his days gathering information from reporters all over the country. After negotiating length and immersing himself in the facts of each story, he would convey their essentials to the editors who determined which piece belonged where and what size headline each deserved. As 5 o'clock approached, he would kick his chair, which was on rollers, over to the Night Desk to tell the people there what to expect after he went home. This mission would so absorb him that more than once, we've been told, he sideswiped some wandering superior. It's easy to picture my father being oblivious to a passing VIP. At home, he scorched tabletops with his neglected cigarettes and could hardly change a light bulb. Evenings in front of the television, when my mother would ask — no, instruct— him to fetch her a Diet Pepsi, he would walk dutifully off to the kitchen, where the ice

0 room, we would hear him self-scolding, "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Myvjgf mother once surprised hirgjby converting the bedroom next to theirs into a pool room. She spent weeks having the walls painted, installing new lights and moving in the enormous table. He never suspected a thing. On the other hand, its virtually impossible to imagine my father ever forgetting a detail. His encyclopedic brain seemed to hold every national story the paper had run during his tenure — and not • just its contents, but also its location and the size of its headline. He could summon at will the minutiae of American politics: the name of the losing candidate for governor of Massachusetts in 1960 or the percentage of votes Thomas E. Dewey received in 1944. This expertise wasn't always welcome. On Sundays, pen in hand, he would make short work of the Times crossword puzzle. Then, while my mother and I collaborated — using a pencil with a " good eraser — on a second copy of the puzzle, he would sit watching his ballgame, keeping one ear on our deliberations so that he could call out corrections. On a more personal level, my father had an uncanny fascination with — and remarkable memory for — the details of other people's lives. Like the reporter he'd been at the start of his career, he was constantly interviewing. Within five minutes he could ascertain where

someone was born, who his family was and where they lived, where and when he'd gone to school, past and present employment. My father's questions didn't come across as prying, just interest. People were floored when years later he'd ask, say, "Is your brother still living in New Haven?" With the bureau chiefs, reporters and stringers whose stories he managed, his personal attention translated into long-lasting friendships. When our family traveled — Arkansas, California, Hawaii — we touched base with local hosts whose bylines we'd read for years. Wherever I lived, after I left home, he made sure I had the phone number of some surrogate guardian I could seek out in case

calmer and less quick to judge. The spring before he died, my parents drove to Vermont together for the last time. Both had health problems, and though it wasn't obvious whose prognosis was worse, the visit had a definite sense — to me, at least — of an ending. We lingered at the table after lunch, listening to my father's new tape of Louis Armstrong singing "What a Wonderful World." Then my father and I took a slow walk to the lake. It felt as if we should be saying something important. But neither of us could think of what. After a long, awkward silence, he finally asked, "This has worked out for you, hasn't it? You're happy with your life here?" He phrased it

Though he broke things and bumbled around the house, as an editor my father was a force: exacting, all-knowing and inescapable. He was so intensely identified with his job that it was hard, while he was working, to imagine him doing anything else. My mother worried aloud that unless he found something to engage him after he retired, he would simply waste away. When that day finally came, he didn't join a bridge club or learn to cook or drag his old golf clubs down from the attic. He did continue to read the Times from cover to cover, but only once a day. He spent more time watching sports on TV and listening to tapes of old standards. For a while, on doctors orders, he took a slow walk down the block each day. While my mother was still working, he regularly accompanied her to her school library, where he worked as a volunteer and made friends with the teachers. Relieved of his responsibilities at the newspaper, my father grew quieter,

as a question, but it felt like a blessing. In my mind, that moment is conflated with another, 18 years earlier, when he was still in the thick of his job: Its a beautiful June morning, the air fresh and clean from last night's rain. The rhododendrons are in bloom. My father and I are standing at the foot of the back steps, waiting for my mother to back the car out of the garage and drive us to the bus that will carry us to our separate offices. As contented and relaxed as I have ever seen him, Daddy smiles at me and quotes, "What is so rare as a day in June?" I have heard this line of poetry countless times. But this morning I hear it differently. It expresses not just my father's utter approval of the day and the rhododendrons, but also of me. It's a good moment to remember, these days. Especially when I find myself stressed out and snapping, struggling to meet the deadline — all the while editing myself. (!)

Gooooooo Check out Seven Days' Wellness Section for all the health you need

First began to learn about the fundamental nature of malefemale relationships second grade, and it was a cruel but critical life lesson. My first crush was Cindy Harrington, a three-and-a-half-foot brunette with a bowl cut only slightly longer than mine. She was the one girl in second grade shorter than I was. All of which I took as a sign we were meant to be together. My heart was bursting for Cindy, and I expressed my love for her in the manner of all smitten preteen boys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mostly, that is, by treating her badly. I pulled out small locks of her hair and called her four-syllable nonsense " words that almost always contained the word "butt." I threw into the trash one of the oatmeal cookies she had baked at Brownies and made her cry, despite the fact that it was actually a pretty good cookie. Of course, I also did my best to impress her: I performed astounding feats of strength at kickball and Red Rover. I demonstrated my intellect and grace under pressure by coming in fourth at the class spelling bee two weeks in a row. In short, I did everything in my power to make it obvious to her that I was the stuff of superior genetic material. Cindy was keen on me, too, returning her love by spitting in the little pencil well in my desk and telling the rest of the class that I had lice. Things went pretty well, for a while; I was making Cindy's life somewhat more miserable than she was making mine, and thus I was holding onto the

For one p thing, she was more physically aggressive, smacking the back of my head while sitting behind me in social studies, for instance. This greatly upset the balance of power I thought we had firmly established and mutually accept-

dred little worms, but that she was infected with the worst case of cooties ever seen at St. Joseph's Medical Center. I knew Matt was telling the truth; he was the smartest and least athletic kid in the class, and he always won the goddamned spelling bee. Naturally, I was devastated. Everyone in second grade knew there was nothing worse than getting cooties. An infection meant you were quarantined —

we always knew the potential for violence was there. At this particular recess, though, Sister Madeline was the least of my worries. Cindy circled me for a few minutes, then pounced. A man of action, I ran away as fast as my short little legs could carry me. But you can't run very far in a holding pen. There were two hiding places, one on either side of the front steps. I lost her for a few seconds,

into the frontal lobe. ed — a balance I felt should not change until at least fifth grade, or when she grew taller than me, whichever came first. The other kids noticed this situation, too, and it gradually worsened through that week. Cindy tried the old shoelaces trick at least five times, and she began pushing me around like an older brother. It seemed that she was infected with, well, confidence, and I didn't like it one bit. The horrible truth of Cindy's affliction became clear on Wednesday morning, when Matt Stevens took me aside in the hall after phonics. Next to the water fountain, Matt whispered to me that he had heard Cindy's brother's best friend's dad was her pediatrician as well as the Mantle Maulers Little League coach, and that he had let slip at practice she not only had a two-headed worm living behind her right eyeball which was pregnant with a hun-

no escape from Cooty Island — during recess. This grim situation came to a head for me on Friday, just as recess began, when Cindy walked up and declared her intention to kiss me right on the cheek. I could tell by the disgusting smoochy faces she was making that she was not bluffing. Recess at St. Joseph's took place in an L-shaped concrete parking area that had been fenced in like a little Catholic detention camp. It looked a lot like one of those ex rcise pens you see in prison n >vies. The punishment for vio iting fence boundaries with so much as a single digit was flag ilation by the enormous Sistei Madeline, who in her nuns habit looked like a gigantic, inverted toadstool. Sister Madeline was extremely quick and short-tempered. I don't recall her ever actually laying a hand on anyone, but

but Cindy cleverly eliminated first one then the other hiding place and found me pretty quickly. I then tried hiding behind John Seckinger, who had heard the rumor of Cindy's cooty infection. Reversing the roles I had intended for us, John grabbed me and began to hold me in front of him as a human shield. I disengaged by pulling his nose, made a break for it, tripped on some loose gravel and went down, face first, onto a nastyedged rock From a deep hole above my right eye, blood spurted out all over Cindy, who had leaned down to finish me off. She ran off when "Sister Madeline came onto the scene. Some adult quickly scooped me up and took me into the nurse's office. I came out a changed man.

the infection penetrates even deeper into the frontal lobe. That's when some girls become attracted to guys who are not just stupid or insane but "artistic." A guy can be completely out of touch with reality, but if he draws her a picture, or writes her a poem or sings her a song, he's home free. But I digress. Everyone else knew I had cooties after that playground mishap, but I didn't care. When Greg Lohman called nje a cooter as he caught me switching my white milk for his chocolate, I just laughed. "So what, dookie-face mud butt," I said. "You just wish you had a hole in your head, too, you buttnose blabber mouth, and you don't, so you just shut up." He did shut up, and I drank the rest of his chocolate milk in one gulp, as if I were Alan Ladd in the movie Shane. I was pretty much the tough guy until the end of fourth grade. Everyone wanted to touch my scar and, in my more benevolent moments, I let them. This, of course, infected everyone else. It's the only explanation for why other guys began doing increasingly dangerous things in an effort to get similarly injured.

terms with Ted McNally's injury. First of all, I wasn't there when it happened, which deprived me of any bragging rights. Second, the bastard got every girl he wanted, even Elizabeth Simeri, which hurt me more than anything since she was the girl I was pre-' tending not to like in the fifth grade. I was never to regain my position as alpha male. That's okay, though. I might as well embrace the fact that I'm still infected, and that I'm no tough guy and never will be. In fact, I've decided to go back to the struggling-artist model that worked so well in my teens. Now when a beautiful girl asks me what I do, I tell her I'm a poet and a writer — even though I've written exactly 12 off-color limericks and have never come close to making a living at newspaper writing. I also tell them I play the piano, even though my best piece is the first page of the theme from "Peanuts." Some might consider this a tad dishonest. But here's the amazing thing, and it proves a lot of women never recover fully from cooties, either: Every once in a while my ploy actually works. And it's a lot less painful than getting run over by a car. ®

cussion. After wiping away the tears, blood and dirt, I felt a strange euphoria. I found I was proud of my wound. It didn't really hurt all that badly, and it was profoundly gross — a serious plus. It produced the best scab when the blood caked up in a deep-purple, bubbling pattern. It looked downright cool, in fact, and I knew that the stitches would look even cooler, and that eventually I would have this amazing scar in a highly visible location. And somehow I knew that a scar was a one-way ticket to love. I also knew that, even without Cindy's kiss, I was experiencing the first symptoms of cooty infection. Cooties make boys believe they should injure themselves to gain sympathy. Cooties a'ffect girls by making them attracted to men who are accident-prone and/or do foolish things. Which in turn makes guys behave even .more like imbeciles in an effort to attract more girls, creating a death spiral of idiocy. Cooties attack the brain like mad cow disease, without actually killing the carrier. Things get much worse in adolescence, as

Football became tackle on the pavement. The first genuine schoolyard rumbles broke out. Bike ramps were built for jumping younger siblings and pets, Evel Knieval-style. There was much teasing of Rottweilers on the way home from school. Then, one sunny morning in late March, Ted McNally got run over by a car and my glory days were over. A young lady with a suspended license nailed Ted as he rode his bicycle out of an alley on the southern edge of St. Joes campus. She hit him broadside, crumpled his banana Schwinn into a piece of modern sculpture, and ground the front wheels of her Pinto to a halt just south of his temple. Ted had cheated death by an inch and a half, fortunate to be hit by one of the very few compact cars in America at the time. He was whisked off to St. Joe's hospital, which by then probably had an entire wing devoted to our grade school. His jaw was wired shut and he became an instant hero. Girls loved Ted after that. We boys feigned sympathy for him when he was in the hospital, eating blended pizza through a straw, but we all secretly hated him. Still, we hung around him like mosquitoes in hopes that maybe a car would drive over us, too. I have never really come to

A salon neophyte gets the Gentleman's treatment

BY ROBERT ISENBERG

n Sunday afternoons when my hair got shaggy, my mother used to bust out the electric clippers, a pair of scissors and an old sheet to collect snipped locks. My dad, my brother and I took turns sitting in the kitchen chair as she trimmed and shaped, modifying her approach to our individual scalps and personal styles. More recently I've subjected my head to cheap chain joints like Supercuts, scrambling for student discounts and leaving afraid to look at my own reflection. Gentlemen's Top Option, a friend has informed me, is the chopper of choice for the discerning male — a far cry from both my family's makeshift barbershop and the generic mega-salon. Nearly every man

The salon is spotlessly clean, with rich, earth-tone walls and black-leather barber chairs that denote luxury. The eight-foot windows admit great pillars of light from three directions and permit an expansive view of Waterfront Park. A haircut here costs $22 — a pretty standard salon sum. But to a newly minted college grad like me, the place feels pretty classy. I'm vaguely aware of some half-dozen other clients on my first visit, but each chair has its own private space, embraced by diptych mirrors. All I can see, as I settle into my leather chair, is the reflection of Jones as she sweeps the floor, then begins combing my hair. "What would you like today?" she asks. "Pretty short," I say. It sounds lame.

Penny Jones' theory is that men will relax if they associate highlights

needs a cut now and then, but most guys — at least the ones I know — fear the standard beauty salon. If a man is spotted entering a wax room, as GTO proprietor Penny Jones puts it, he's obviously looking to tackle some stubborn follicles. The male-friendly Men's Room offers many of the same services as GTO but is located on busy Church Street, just across from Burlington City Hall. At GTO, anonymity is a major selling point. Proprietor Penny Jones established the company six-and-a-half years ago on Battery Street but later moved to Lake Street. At this more out-of-the-way Waterfront location, men can park behind the large brick building and come in for cuts, hair coloring and massages without letting the whole world know what they're after. Since my hair has begun to spout coarse flaps over my ears and neck, I decide to give GTO a try.

I'm not versed in the stylist's lingo, but I figure my hair simply speaks for itself: unparted, no frills and — as far as I know — no significant bald spot. Jones begins with the clippers. Buzzing quickly and confidently, she takes complete control of my skull. Like all her employees — whom she calls "my girls" — Jones is slim and young-looking, and a wellspring of energy. I'm almost embarrassed that my head is being handled by such an attractive woman — one of GTO's unspoken draws, no doubt. Charm aside, Jones is a determined businesswoman who has been styling hair for 12 years. Growing up around Lake George, New York, she always knew her future was in hairdressing, she says. After earning a two-year business degree at Champlain College, she studied and worked for six years at O'Brien's Salons, where she amassed a clientele of mostly men. Anxious men, as it turned out, who

were skittish about words like "styling" and "pedicure." Like jewelry and nice shoes, which are usually classified as feminine interests, hair is something many men don't think about until it's either mangy or vanishing altogether. Jones is dedicated to making men feel comfortable. Even the salons acronym is tailored to appeal to guys. A deliberate reference to the Pontiac GTO, it's not only easy to remember, but also subtly suggests the raw masculinity of car engines. Jones' theory is that men will relax if they associate highlights and facials with auto parts. She tells me to lean my head back. I'm sitting in a different chair now, with a seat that adjusts to the arch of my back as I dip my occipital into a large, stationary bowl. Jones lathers my hair with sweetsmelling shampoo. As I stare at the ceiling, I notice that the room has a clean scent. She informs me that no chemical hairsprays or blow dryers are used at GTO, a policy that improves air quality. Men's hair gels can be obnoxious to rinse out, but at least they are easy on the nose. "What do you use for your hair?" Jones asks. "Pretty much straight-up Denorex," I say. "You know, the battery acid for itchy scalps. Sometimes I'll steal whatever my roommates leave around the shower." "Don't use generic products," she commands. "You know how your hair gets squeaky clean when you wash it out? That's a sign of a cheap shampoo." Duly noted. We return to the first chair and Jones pulls out the scissors to refine the cut. She has a subtle style, slicing mere millimeters of wet hair with the precision of a seamstress. I ask if some hair is easier to cut than others. It's a dumb question — the answer seems obvious — but Jones remarks that slight waves make the process easier than straight locks. Apparently my nondescript curls make for a very easy cut. Jones finally steps back and asks what I think. "Looks fabulous," I say. The contours are even and meticulous; this isn't just a

shortening, as my previous barbers would have done. My hair fits my head, rounding perfectly. Unfortunately, my face looks bottom-heavy. "Do you do beard trims?" I ask. "Yes, we do," Jones replies. "What would you like?" "Well, what's your professional opinV>

ion? "Short," she says emphatically, as if she's been itching to tell me. I came in looking like a Viking, with my threadbare red facial scruff. Jones' electric razor efficiently mows it down. She cuts closely across my throat — I can't help but think of Sweeney Todd —then whips the bib off my neck. Finis! Approaching the register and the knock-out receptionist — a graduate student at Columbia University working here for the summer — I ask if GTO ever hires men. "I've never received a resume," Jones says, seeming puzzled at the fact. A few men have telephoned her about an interview but never followed up. Five of her stylists came here directly out of cosmetology school; this is only the second job for the other two. Even her resident massage practitioner is a woman. Just before checking out, I spot Jones' wedding ring. I ask if her husband — an upscale professional, she tells me — comes here. "Oh, yes," Jones says, laughing. "He'd better." Before I leave, another client — a regular for nearly two years — offers a testimonial. "I get the sense when I'm here that the-staff is committed to giving a good haircut. I've had my hair screwed up by so many barbers. Not to speak badly of barbers, but for the once-a-month I get a cut, it's just a little splurge that I enjoy." I'm not picky about my hair — Mom and Supercuts had easy customers. But for a young professional like-me, a real salon is an exciting novelty. Leaving GTO, it's impossible to resist a moments vanity. In the shaded windows, I glimpse the cleancut image of a gentleman's trim. ® ; v;

Woman

The good guys'behind Vermont's leading ladies BY RUTH HOROWITZ, PAMELA POLSTON AND PAULA ROUTLY

e've all heard the proverb alleging that "behind every great man is a great woman." For centuries, women have settled for that role — and its attendant faint praise — without ever considering the reverse. Does the iiber-spouse theory also apply to high-profile females? Might there be more dynamic dames running around if they had supportive husbands at home? We set out to find the "great men" behind Vermont's "great women," and discovered an alarming number of them are single, widowed or divorced — think former governor Madeleine Kunin, Vermont Teddy Bear honcho Liz Robert and philanthropist Amy Tarrant. When we finally did come up with a short list, half the husbands turned us down. Precious few brave souls, it seems, have the self-confidence — and the generosity of spirit — to stand by their women, at least in print. Read on to discover what it takes to be a real man these days.

MR. ANDREA ROGERS, BURLINGTON

or Avery Hall, "The question is always, 'Well, I guess you go to all the shows?'" But playing backup for the executive director of the Flynn Center is not all free tickets and cast parties. When he does get "comped" for a performance, the 70-year-old husband of Andrea Rogers is most likely sitting solo. For 21 years, his wife has tirelessly managed the renovation and development of Burlington's Flynn, from a run-down moviehouse to a multi-facility performing arts complex. Overseeing capital improvements, fundraising initiatives and a performing arts series, including the Discover Jazz Festival, hasn't left a whole lot of time for hanging out with the husband. In the middle of last week's jazz festival, Hall recalls, "I saw her just for a moment. If I hadn't gone to that show last night, I wouldn't have seen her all day — except briefly at breakfast." In June, even their late-night dinners are hit and miss. But the retired mechanical engineer doesn't really mind being out of the limelight, even if it means getting ignored on occasion. "Sometimes she'll forget to introduce me," Hall laments. "People who really know her in the context of the Flynn don't necessarily know me." Another thing they don't know: Hall did extensive work on the downtown theater before he phased out Northern Engineering Associates. This couple's pillow talk must range from blower sysMR. DEBORAH MARKOWITZ, MONTPELIER

ourteen years ago, when Paul Markowitz married the woman who would later become Vermont's secretary of state, he kept his "maiden" name, and so did she. Both were enrolled at the University of Vermont — Paul was a grad student in resource economics, Deb an undergraduate philosophy major. Friends introduced them because they were the only two Markowitzes in Vermont. Today their surname is a household name here, and the family hasn't lost its egalitarian outlook. When the three Markowitz offspring were born, "The boy took my last name and the girls took hers," Paul quips. Caring for the kids has also been a shared responsibility. Both agreed, early on, that one parent would work full-time and the other part-time, to be home when school let out. First Deb took the kid shift. When Ari, their youngest child, was 2, Paul said he wanted his turn. "She was very resistant to that, didn't really want to give it up," he reports. "I said 'fair is fair."' The upshot: Paul scaled back his hours at the Institute for Sustainable Communities and took over the cooking, cleaning, housework and childcare, while Deb began the process that culminated in her election. "When Deb was talking about doing this, I totally supported her," Paul reports. "I told her, 'You would do a great job, you're perfect for it; the guy who's in there isn't doing a good job.'" With his wife now completing her second term in

tems to personnel management. "I ran a company. I had lots of employees. I know what it's like," he says. Now Hall keeps himself busy restoring antique autos — he's a Packard rat — and organizing classic-car events. Rogers occasionally lends a hand. But for the most part, both parties enjoy their independence. "I need a lot of space to do the things I want to do," Hall says. And he means that literally. At home on South Union Street, he's got two garages with a total of five stalls, one of which he cleared out for Rogers. Perhaps in appreciation, she keeps her Passat parked outside. P.R.

office, Paul sees himself as her "groundwire," he says. "There's a certain non-reality to politics. I see myself as her linkage to the other world out there, helping her keep things in perspective." Mr. Markowitz stays grounded himself by keeping clear about his own identity. "We're geared to think that the guy's supposed to be the breadwinner, the king of the castle." To overcome this mindset when your partner hits the big time, Paul suggests, "You have to come into it saying, 'It's okay that my wife is better known than meYou have to have your own life and feel comfortable with who you are." When people ask him, "Aren't you the secretary of state's husband?" he has a ready answer: "Yeah, and I'm also Aviva Markowitz's dad... I wouldn't trade what I'm doing for the world," he adds. "I feel so lucky that I've been able to work part-time and be with my children." —

MR. KATHERINE PATERSON, BARRE

t would be hard to name many living children's writers with the stature of Katherine

Paterson. The author of Bridge to Terabithia, The Great Gilly Hopkins and a couple dozen other works has won a multitude of international laurels, including two Newbery Awards and the Hans Christian Andersen Medal. It would also be difficult to find another man who glories in his wife's success with more grace than the Reverend John Paterson. The key, he suggests, is "to cultivate modestly one's own self-esteem... If you don't have modest self-esteem, you're not likely to be a good partner for someone else." The Presbyterian minister practices what he preaches. Back in 1962, when the Patersons married, he promised his wife she would not be just an appendage to a pastor, but her own person. Katherine started writing early, scribbling on stray slips of paper in stolen moments while caring for the children — two "home-grown," two adopted, all under the age of 5. "I wasn't the most helpful father," John concedes. These days, the Patersons split household chores and John ministers to Katherine's work in a variety of ways: sorting mail, assisting at book-signings and serving as her first reader — though not until the first draft is complete. When she began working on The Same Stuff as Stars, due out this fall, John watched his wife buy a telescope, set it up in the backyard and start using it. "I knew it had something to do with stars," he says. But she didn't tell him what. And after 40 years of marriage, John knew not to ask. 'Some writers love to share what they're doing with family and friends, but Katherine has never done that." Notable exceptions are the three books on which the Patersons have collaborated. Consider the Lilies and Images of God marry John's theological and Katherine's literary expertise. Blueberries for the Queen, their forthcoming picture book, tells a story from John's childhood. Katherine, who hates to hear her husband called "Mr. Katherine Paterson," is careful not to let her success overshadow his work. In the seven years since he retired from the Barre Presbyterian Church, John has been filling in temporarily at a number of pulpits. Rather than accompany him on these out-of-town gigs, Katherine has continued to worship in Barre. Joh^

every night together when I'm not traveling," he says. "We do a lot of things together." Not quite everything. When Melinda is indulging in Friday afterwork pool at Franny O's, Rick is more likely to be taking in a cocktail party. When she jumps out of airplanes or off cliffs, he's content to watch. "She courageously faces the world, and yet I see the other side of her," he adds. Rick's secret to standing by his wife of 15 years — and companion of 32 years — is simply, "Keep turning to each other. There never should be a moment when you're afraid of letting your spouse be in the spotlight," he adds. "As long as they come back to face you, you give each other strength. Your greater sense of yourself can elevate what you have together.' Rick isn't exactly an unknown quantity in Vermont, but neither is he a household name. That's why he's clear on one of the perks of his marriage: "If somebody doesn't know me, I can say I'm Melinda Moulton's husband." — P.P. MR. MELINDA MOULTON, HUNTINGTON

ts no coincidence that Rick Moulton is helping engineer Rail Day in Bennington next week: His wife, Burlington "redeveloper" Melinda Moulton, is one of the state's most outspoken proponents of rail service. After all, she built the Queen City's train station and is still waiting for her ticket to ride — Amtrak, with service to New York City. Rick, an independent documentary filmmaker who specializes in historical projects and has done numerous productions for Vermont Public Television, is cheering her on. Melinda is one-half of the Main Street Landing

Company, with Lisa Steele; together they own Union Station and have ambitious plans for a development at the corner of Lake and Battery that will include an inn, theater, restaurant and other public space. Melinda also sits on several boards, and she chairs the Burlington Business Association. Her profile is, quite simply, high. So is her energy level. "When she goes home at night to Huntington — a stone house she and Rick built and raised two kids in — Melinda can count on her calm and patient husband as a sounding board. "She's not one of those people who leaves her work at the office; her work is her life," Rick notes. "We spend

MR. KATHY HOYT, NORWICH or Norris "Norrie" Hoyt, playing a supporting role to his wife's lead is simply a matter of the shoe being on the other foot. Though Kathy Hoyt is well known in this state as Howard Dean's former chief of staff and current secretary of administration, Norrie was the public figure for the first 15 years of their marriage. Back in the 1970s, while Norrie was pressing the flesh — and getting press — as chair of the House Judiciary Committee and legal counsel to Governor Tom Salmon, Kathy was either working at low-profile political jobs or staying home with the couple's two sons. To political insiders she was well respected, but among the general public, Norrie relates, "I was the one people knew about." Kathys first big break came in 1989, when Madeleine Kunin appointed her chief of staff. When Kunin lost to Dick Snelling the next year, both the Democratic Hoyts found themselves out of work. When the Republican governor died in office, Howard Dean asked Kathy to do lor him what she'd done for Kunin, and Norrie became "Mr. Kathy Hoyt." For the 66-year-old lawyer, who retired in 1998, being the man behind the woman is no big deal. "Ever since we met 30-odd years ago, we've both been talking over politics," he remarks. "It's fun for me to see her in the thick of things and to talk things over and know what's going to happen ahead of time." Does she come to him for advice? "Yes, and I did the same thing with her when I was the public one." Whatever drawbacks may come from having a wife in Kathy's position are no different from those she put up with before they traded places: long work hours compounded by the 65-mile commute, each way, between the Hoyts' Norwich home and Montpelier. The perks? Norrie laughs. "I drive around in a car with her low license plates. Popular wisdom is that the lower your license plates, the higher your prestige," he explains. Dean's tags read "1." Racine's say "2." The Hoyts rank "23." "Some people may need that to boost their selfesteem," Norrie comments. 'Tm sort of indifferent to it. Maybe it helps that he's been there and done that himself. But when asked for his advice to other men who might find themselves partnered with public women, Norrie's words are carefully chosen. "From what I gather from reading popular works of sociology, a lot ol men would have a problem with that. Obviously, I don't. If you have a problem... it gives you a wonderful opportunity to sort out your priorities and think about your life." Talk about politic.

— R.H.

MR. SABRA FIELD, EAST BARNARD

pencer Field acknowledges his wife every time he picks up the phone. "Sabra Field" he answers cheerfully on a Saturday morning — and every other day of the week — until five o'clock. "Otherwise people always say, 'Is this. . . ? Is this. . . ?'" remarks the husband of Vermont's most popular visual artist. "We make it as easy as we can for the customer." Since his wife's landscape prints started selling like pints of maple syrup, customer service has been Spencer's chief concern. A former watercolorist, he gave up his art to become her business manager. "I do just about everything Sabra doesn't," Spencer says, detailing all the logistics of selling art out of their 18room home in East Barnard. "She can virtually spend 100 percent of her time doing what she wants to do: being an artist. She works all the time. She's out on the deck now writing a book." Of course Spencer's job means packing boxes and ordering ink. But it also involves chauffeuring Sabra on evening drives in their sportscar, dutifully steering their sailboat and going along on monthlong trips to Italy. Sabra is always watching out for lovely vistas. "There's nothing hard about it," Spencer says of his "domestic partnership." "If I drive, she can look all over the place." At her urging, he recently submitted to a four-day stop on a Sicilian lemon ranch. "She drew and drew. Kind of drove me crazy," he adds with a laugh. From both perspectives, this marketable marriage looks to be perfectly composed. "One of us is the boss, but we don't know which one," Spencer says. His advice to other supporting artists? "Don't try to fight the situation. Don't feel jealous. We enjoy each others company. Our business wouldn't be what it is if we were at odds all the time." — PR.

His was an administration that never forgot the little guy. And to do it he stepped on the toes of many a Democrat and Republican. Monday nights debate showed that, unfortunately, the "sore loser" mentality remains. You would have thought North Beach had been named after Ollie North the w a y Republican Kevin Curley acted. Good grief.

After all, many would suggest the whole town be officially renamed "Bernietown." Has a ring to it, eh? Vermont's Beatle Link — Congratulations to Paul McCartney upon his marriage Heather Mills. The pair wed

Tuesday at Castle Leslie, a thousand-acre estate in County Monaghan, Ireland. The history of Castle Leslie goes back to the 1600s. And Seven Days has learned there is a Vermont connection. It's a romantic connection to one of the black sheep of the Leslie family. According to the Castle Leslie Web site — www.castleleslie.ie: "Sir Shane Leslie 3rd

Baronet, Irish Speaker, author, poet and ardent nationalist, became a Catholic and stood as Nationalist candidate for Deny in the 1910 election... He then decided to leave the sinful world and retreat into a monastery, none of which went down very well with his Protestant family, who were delighted when he met and married an American beauty, Marjorie Ide o f V e r m o n t , and

forgot all about the priesthood." They wed in 1912. Marjories father was Henry Clay Ide, who was then U.S. ambassador to Spain. Couldn't be a relation of Caledonia County State Sen. Rob Ide, could it? "Oh, my God, all the family secrets!" replied Sen. Ide. He told Seven Days that Henry Clay Ide and his great-grandfather, Elmore T. Ide, were brothers. A third brother was a Civil War officer, Horace Knights Ide. E.T. and

H.K. formed a business partnership in the feed and grain business. Younger brother Henry, a Dartmouth graduate, enjoyed a combined legal and political career. Henry, Rob said, even served two terms in the Vermont Senate before being chosen by President Teddy Roosevelt to serve in a

number of capacities. Marjorie Ide, the Vermonter who stole a baronet from the monastery and became a baroness, was Sen. Ides grandfather's first cousin. Baroness Leslie passed away in 1951 at 70 years of age. "And I think," the senator told yours truly, "she would be my first cousin, twice removed." Marjories granddaughter, Samantha, runs the Castle Leslie today. And this week Paul McCartney was married in her house. Small world, eh?

As Goes Vermont?

— Time marches on. The 2002 Vermont general election campaign is off and running, and it appears the prime issue of Election 2000 will get nary a whisper. Two years ago, the election was dominated by sex. This time, it looks like jobs and Vermont's future will take center stage. Two years ago, the gay-bashing Take Vermont Backwards crowd was all the rage. We were warned again and again by church leaders of many faiths — including Roman Catholic Bishop Ken Angell, shepherd of Vermont's largest religious flock, Roman Catholics — that civil unions were against God's law. And even when the civilunions bill passed, Gov. Howard Dean was so nervous he decided against holding the standard public bill-signing ceremony. Not even a photo op for history was permitted. Two years later, Ho-Ho is traveling the nation, happily receiving applause from gay audiences for signing a law that, at the time, he thought was his presidential death warrant. Times do indeed change. Two years later, the Bingo Bishop is up to his eyeballs in pedophile priests. So much for "safe celibacy." Angell's church, its priests and the hierarchy that covered up crimes against children are hardly in a position to preach God's law to anyone at the moment. History, we expect, will be generous to Vermont. It will record that at the dawning of the 21st century, Vermont led the blikkedi&ates along freedom's 1 trail. That a brave little state, in the best tradition of Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine,

-^advanced the cause of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens. Last Friday, north of the border, Quebec became the second province in Canada to pass civilunions legislation for gay and lesbian couples. (Nova Scotia was the first.) Canada's most Catholic province took its own historic step forward in the name of freedom and justice for all Quebecers. "I am very proud," said Quebec

What's fresh today?

Everything!

Attorney General Paul Begin,

"because there are not that many societies that have reached this level of understanding and acceptance of the equality of all, whatever is the (sexual) orientation." It doesn't happen overnight. This Saturday members of the local gay community, and members of the straight community who support freedom, will march proudly through downtown Burlington in the 20th annual Gay Pride March. Gov. Dean, the current heavyweight champion of gay rights, will for the 10th straight year rrot be in attendance. This year his excuse is that he's scheduled to be in El Paso, Texas, speaking to the Lone Star State's Democratic Convention. Remember, Texas has 32 electoral votes. Vermont's got just 3. Enough said, eh? (7) E-mail Peter at Inside Track VT@aol. com

Seth Yacovone is barely old enough to buy a beer, yet his guitar playing conjures the spirit of some whiskey-soaked

Chicago jam session. Hunched over his six-string, Yacovone funnels grungy rock trickery and pure blues soul. His band jams with Trey Anastasio in New York City this month and embarks on an Italian tour later in the summer. This Saturday he returns to Higher Ground — right down the road from Anastasio's show at the fairgrounds. Don't be late; Yacovone's last home-turf concert sold out.

SEVEN DAYS

SHAKY GROUND? Recent reports and rumors might have clubgoers wondering what's going down at Higher Ground. After months of speculation about how the popular venue will fare in the Winooski "revitalization," the owners have been notified they have to leave. According to Higher Grounds Alex Crothers, the building that houses the 600person club has officially been condemned by Winooski officials. While original plans by the Winooski Community Development Corp. — which include offices, retail shops, housing and a parking facility — anticipated new quarters for the club, it appears that is no longer the case. Crothers informs Seven Days that a January 1 date has been set for the closing of the Burlington area's biggest and most important live-music venue. However, the place could remain open longer if litigation ensues. "At this point we're not really sure" what will happen, claims Crothers. "We are still hoping that something can be worked out, but we have also started looking elsewhere for other possible locations." That search includes properties in Burlington and South Burlington as well as Winooski. But given the alcohol-unfriendly attitude of many local officials, the challenges of opening a music club go beyond finding a building. Music fans, keep your fingers crossed — and if you have a spare warehouse somewhere in the area, give a call.

three-disc retrospective. Anthology in Motion, Volume 1 is slated for a late summer or early fall release and will feature new, rare and live Samples cuts, including tunes from all the way back to 1982. According to Egan, the group has been "holed up" in his Studio B, putting the final touches on the 40-plus tunes. Samples front-man Sean Kelly suggests the tracks are among the greatest work the band has ever done, even though "there is a version of'Ocean of War' from 1983 that sounds like it was being sung by Herman Mlinster." Interesting. With so much material dug up while at work on Volume 1, the band foresees at least two sequels in the future. In celebration of a job well done, The Samples hit the road this June for a U.S. tour. Vermont singer-songwriter Patrick FitZSimmonS has been pegged for the opening act. In other EMP news, the studio was just written up in Mix for its impressive digital 5.1 recording techniques. Fran Manzella, the designer of the studio, raves to the prestigious trade magazine about EMP's position as one of the best studios for cutting-edge, surround-sound mixing. The place looks good, too — check out the photos accompanying the article showing the swanky interior of Studio A. Congrats!

rEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEv THE MAGIC IS GONE, THE MAGIC IS GONE (Dangerfive Records, CD) — In the middle of releasing the shambling bits and pieces and sporadic pop *" gems that constituted his Rock and Roll Haiku series, Colin Clary has returned to rock. Though often second in his stable, his group The Magic Is Gone is one of the more engaging acts in the Burlington music scene. ~ With their new self-titled release, The Magic Is Gone have made an emopop album that actually lives up to the genre's heart-on-sleeve, teen-age angst posing. Let's face it, emo has slim competition for being the most disappointingly bland genre of the past decade. While its practitioners busied themselves with trying to craft "sensitive-boy rock," most seemed too consumed with matching the correct pair of Levis with their .y?f vintage Star Wars tees to actually bother with being good musicians.

The Magic Is Gone is equal parts grungy rock, bleeding hearts and pop songcraft. The best part? The group occasionally sounds like they are having fun. A sense of humor in indie rock? W h o would dare such a breach of cool? Guitarist/vocalist Clary, bassist Joe Boo and drummer Tom Goodale, that's who. Local pianist Paul Webb also adds keys to three of the album tracks. "Another Cassette Failure" opens the disc with reverb-heavy guitar and Clary's fragile tenor singing poison-dart lyrics about romantic failure. The mostly instrumental "As She Sleeps" is similar to recent Mogwai, with crashing, distorted drumming and gloriously repetitive guitar licks. "Surround Yourself With Fools" begins with a loping bass figure and elastic guitar before clicking into a chorus rousing enough for Scottish stars Idlewild. Recorded by Joe Egan and Aaron Flinn at the former Eclipse Studios (now Egan Media Productions), the clean, even production gives the songs enough space to breathe while never losing grasp of the solid instrumentation that glues them together. The disc is not without its weak points — such as the stuttering "The Seatbelt Dilemma" — yet the overall feel is intelligent and teary, fuzz-heavy and sonically intricate. Somewhere, Morrissey must be chuckling contentedly.

—Ethan Covey JAMES KOCHALKA SUPERSTAR, HOT CHOCOLATE SUPERSTAR (Dangerfive Records, MP3 album at www.dangerfive.com/jks/) — Leave it to James Kochalka to keep things interesting. From rooftop concerts, indecent exposure at live gigs and piles of the oddest stories ever told, Kochalka is truly a rock anomaly. Now he's embraced the technological Zeitgeist and created an Internet-only album. Free from Dangerfive Records in MP3 form, Hot Chocolate Superstar comes complete with downloadable cover art for those burner-friendly fans who crave the whole package from the convenience of their homes. With a broadband Internet connection, the entire 30 minutes or so of music can be planted in a listener's hard drive in five to 10 minutes. The album features seven exclusive Superstar tracks, including two that put Kochalka lyrics over classic video game soundtracks and one remix of his hit single, "Money vs. Robot." "Beat Down in the Shower" is full of characteristic Kochalka wit, yet is really about the oppressive weight of the water during a morning KOCHftLKP shower, not... well, you know. "Hotchocolate Supersex" is a one-minute hip-hop/funk workout complete with old-school scratching. "Purple Nurple" is a 20-second insta-classic with toy piano and the spicy lyric "Who wants a purple nurple?/Nobody does." Too much fun. Kochalka's two Nintendo tracks are actually both entertaining and impressive. "I Orbit You" is a sweet love song, crooned over the blips and bleeps of the Mario Brothers' theme. "Mice Suicide" uses another, darker Nintendo selection as the background for a creepy tale about suicidal mice — Kochalka's songs are often pretty much summed up by the tides themselves. "Let's Get This Party Started" is an utterly ridiculous Beastie Boys-oncrack hip-hop anthem. The album highlight, however, is when remix collective Reorder Narcotic lets loose on "Monkey vs. Robot (vs. Kiss Mix)." The chanted title line is backed by blasting rock drums, power-chord raunch and some sick classicrock chanting. Aside from the format — and the video game pieces — Hot Chocolate Superstar offers nothing particularly new to Kochalka fans. But it does demonstrate the Burlington icon, tongue firmly planted in cheek, can rock the digital world as much as the old one.

"Progressive bluegrass" may seem like an

oxymoron for those accustomed to down-home picking. Yet Gordon Stone and Michael Daves plow through the old-time genre with fiery improvisation and a cheerful disregard of stylistic constrictions. Guitarist Daves normally holds court with the Massachusetts-based funksters Inner Orchestra. Stone, a former Vermonter, is one of the Northeast's most accomplished banjo players and composers. Together, the duo influences the future of bluegrass with their jazz-inspired chops. This Sunday, the two jam the night away at the Daily Bread in Richmond.

Pure'Pop'

Phish?s first father calls in from the road

BY PAMELA POLSTON

alfway through a monthlong, cross-country tour, Trey Anastasio is getting croaky. The former Phish front man continues to be the primary singer in his new nine-piece band; even with back-up support, singing 25 nights out of 30 is brutal on the vocal cords. Though he admits he needs to learn how to say no, Anastasio doesn't hold back. He's equally voluble about the current lineup, whose members mostly hail from the Burlington area. The chemistry, Anastasio says, is great both on and off the stage. "It's clearly become a band with its own personality," he enthuses. "Everyone gets along really well. There's a lot of experimenting on stage, and that keeps me excited." The road-honed band will show its stuff to home-turf fans this Saturday at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction. From there the tour, which started in Seattle, will wend its way southward for another week, ending at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The shows have been well-received, but Anastasio has another reason to be happy: His eponymously titled solo CD was recently released on Elektra to generally positive reviews. Alternative Press magazine calls the guitarist "a true visionary." Spin declares the project "a

pretty rad album," while Entertainment Weekly dubs it "an ebullient musical Mardi Gras." The I2-song disc indeed is infectiously upbeat, filled with Latinate rhythms bolstered by a killer horn section and party-hearty jams. As Request magazine puts it, "the groove reigns supreme." Since Phish went on hiatus a year and a half ago, hordes of fans have had to content themselves with the side projects of individual members. Anastasio's exuberant new band is more than a pretty good substitute, possessing a sophisticated musicality that surpasses — but does not disdain — hippie noodle-rock. Listening to Trey Anastasio, it's easy to believe this is one band leader who's just getting started. While that's good news to phollowers of the Red-Haired One, it's business as usual to "the girls" back in Vermont. Wife Sue and daughters Eliza, almost 7, and Isabella, 5, are used to him being on the road but are happy the tours are a lot shorter than they were in the Phish days. Anastasio, 37, has always been private about his home life, but this week he offers Seven Days a glimpse into what its like to be a rockin' daddy.

SEVEN DAYS: This week is our annual Men's it always made things easier... Issue, which precedes Father's Day, so I want to talk about Trey Anastasio the daddy. First SD: Did she go on tours with you before the of all, when didyou get married? kids came alongt

SD: How about the big shows — Lemonwheel, Madison Square Garden, that sort of thing?

TREY ANASTASIO: Seven years ago, I think. SD: So Sue knew what she was getting into?

TA: Yeah. We started dating the night before our first two-week road trip. It was with Widespread Panic. I met her and went on a date to Nectar's to see Plan B. The touring has always been a part of our relationship, so

TA: Yes, and still does as much as we can manage it. This tour is built around Eliza's first-grade graduation day, with the Burlington and Albany gigs on either side of it. They're coming to New York after that. In the past we have taken a family bus a couple times, just the four of us, but that gets expensive.

TA: Yes, they've come to all the big shows. The kids get a little bored — its not all that exciting to them. SD: How often do you talk to the family when you're on the road without them?

TA: Every day, if I can. SD: What's the hardest thing about not

being with your family?

TA: The emotional distance. The fu nnv - <» thing about being on tour is, you're surrounded by a lot of people, but you don't have an intimate connection with anyone — unless my mom or an old friend comes out... I also just worry that I'm doing the right thing. I don't want to miss anything, and I don't want them to. You never want to feel you've missed... a dance performance* or even a bedtime story. The kids grow up fast. But my rationale is that I love what I . 12, 2002

do so much. It gives me a lot of joy, I believe in it, and it will affect them in a certain way. SD: Do you also like the opportunity to miss them for a while, to be out doing your own thing? I mean, it seems like the best of both worlds to me.

Enjoy the sounds

SD: Do you find yourself swapping kid stories with other bandmates who have children?

SD: Do the girls call you "Daddy," or do either of them have other names for you?

TA: Constantly — probably the most swapping that goes on is with [saxophonist Dave] Grippo. The kids are the same age. We just went to a baseball game on our day off and talked about the kids the whole time.

TA: They do have another name for me — "Deedah." Eliza started that when she was really young, and it just stuck.

SD: How aware do you think the girls are of what their daddy does for a living?

SD: Any other anecdotes about how they react to seeing you on stage, or hearing a record of yours or anything?

TA: Well, it was funny when we were on "The Simpsons." I didn't say anything about it, just turned it on. I was ig my favorite chair, they were at my feet. It was kind of interesting for about 20 seconds. They recognized Page [McConnell] and Mike [Gordon] and everyone. Mostly it was that they got to stay up an extra half-hour to watch the show. SD: In what ways have your kids humbled you, or kept you grounded?

TA: In many ways. I feel suddenly you have something in your life that's infinitely more important than anything else. That's a good thing, to keep things in perspective. Especially when you're surrounded with the kind of energy that's on the road. Carlos Santana told me, never develop your opinion or sense of yourself on the road. Go home, change diapers and take out the garbage for two weeks. SD: When you have been home over these last seven years, how involved would you say you've been as a parent? What duties do you share with Sue?

TA: It would be pretty even. We both do what we do. That being said, I'm not home right now and Sue is doing everything. For example, last night she had two kids with the flu.

TA: I think that it might be Sue. She's probably a little more the day-to-day. I'm the you-don't-want-tosee-me-lose-it. SD: Does Daddy have a temper?

TA: Daddy has a little bit of a temper, but he keeps it pretty much under control.

SD: How close are the extended families?

TA: Sue's parents live partly in Vermont. My mom's in New York; Dad's in New Jersey. We got really lucky in the grandparents department — all are very involved in the kids' lives. They all get along and we get along with them. They always want to babysit.

TA: I find that more with Sue; we've never really had a problem with that. She's comfortable with herself. I don't feel that with the kids; that's a different relationship. If I had my way I'd spend every single second with them.

TA: They're pretty clear; they know I play music and they come a lot. When Eliza was almost 3, I took her on four concerts — just us four guys and her. I had my mom or other people at each show look after her. It doesn't impress them or anything. At a show in New Jersey once, I remember asking Eliza afterwards how she liked it and she said, "Borrring."

SD: Do you carry pictures of them with you in your wallet or anything?

TA: Oh, yeah, I got pictures all over the place — wallet, bag, dressing case; Honestly, I don't go away as much as I used to. With Phish wc were touring, in the thick of it, for three months at a time. Now I go out for a month or so. I was with Oysterhead in the fall, then home until this one. I really don't like to be away as much. I record [in Vermont] and I'm home for dinner. It's had an enormous effect on my family life. SD: Does either or both of the girls look like you? Any red hair?

TA: I think they look like their mom. Not really any red hair. Isabella acts more like me — she has a little wilder tendencies. SD: Speaking of tendencies, has either of them exhibited musical talents yet?

TA: Yes! They're both in some really good local music programs. This African drumming and dance class [in Memorial Auditorium] is incredible... It's a great place to start teaching kids; they get comfortable with their bodies and rhythm. If you went from there to piano, you're off and running; every other instrument is just an offshoot of that. SD: Do the girls listen to any children's artists that make your skin crawl, or that you really like?

TA: We had to listen to the "Princess Collection" from Disney about a hundred thousand times. That one started to get to me. Right now they're into Shrek — we've seen it about 75 times. But I love that. They like Bob Marley. SD: What do you wish you could do better as a parent?

TA: Patience. What I mean by that is just in terms of sitting and listening and doing whatever they want to be doing at their pace, not at a grown-up pace. SD: What are the three most important things you want to teach or impress upon your girls?

TA: First, kindness to other people. Two would be appreciation of how lucky we all are, a count-yourblessings kind of thing. And then maybe to have the strength to just try things in life, get as much out of life as you can, and not be afraid to take risks along the way. ®

Eau, Canada "he reftitwisted Lachine Canal unlocks itiire if Montreal

BY JEANNE KELLER

ike so many great cities in the world, Montreal often looks forward by looking back. Je me souviens, reads the Quebec license plate — "I remember." The latest gem in an already overflowing urban jewel box is the redevelopment of the Lachine Canal as a premiere recreational, cultural and historic site in the middle of the city. Built in 1825, the canal pro-

vided a critical bypass around the raging Lachine Rapids that had hampered navigation westward on the St. Lawrence River. Land along the waterway developed into an industrial zone of mills and factories, warehouses and rail yards, eventually becoming one of the most important industrial zones in Canada. But that ended with the building of larger and larger cargo ships and the eventual construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959. By 1970 the Lachine Canal was finally closed to navigation. Closed but not forgotten. The canal was designated a National Historic Site in 1927, but little was done to exploit its potential. Many Vermonters have already pedaled the 11 -kilometer bicycle path along the canal that opened in the 1970s — the first attempt to rescue this remarkable landmark. Starting in Old Montreal and following the canal to the westernmost tip of the

island at Lachine, the recreation path inspired the city, the Canadian Parks and Economic Development agencies and several other organizations to fully revitalize the canal and its adjacent neighborhoods. Four years and $100 million later, the Lachine Canal is once again open to navigation — that is, to pleasure craft, kayakers, canoers and paddle-boaters. Silted basins have been excavated, locks repaired, walls shored up,

parks built, landscaping installed, bridges fixed, warehouses turned into condos, new apartments built, streets reconstructed — the list is endless. The changes have not been without controversy in a city that's short on affordable housing. Many of the new apartment complexes are pricey and have gentrified former working-class neighborhoods. Furthermore, some residents have not been entirely satisfied with measures taken to deal with toxic sediment in the canal; Environment Canada will continue to monitor water quality. Controversies aside, as a recreational resource the refurbished canal is an urban oasis and easy to access. For walkers, bicyclists and Rollerbladers, the entire recreation path or its four mini-circuits provide access to a great diversity of neighborhoods along the canal. The path is well marked and extremely safe — guarded by a "cycle patrol" all

summer. And, conveniently, it's completely level. All along the route are places to buy food and drink, including restaurants, fastfood stores and grocers. A great stopping point is the public market at Atwater Street — just take the bridge from the bike path. If you haven't visited Atwater Market lately, you may not recognize the neighborhood. Small office buildings, a supermarket and several apartment complexes have sprouted up, a

testament to the positive effects of the revitalization project. A unique treat is the canal itself, which opened to Jboating on May 17th. Bring your own vessel, rent one or take f cruise with Croisi£re Canal de Lachine in their glass-enclosed canal boat. Powerboats are welcome, too, as long as the 6-mph speed limit and wake-restriction signs are obeyed. There are lay-to wharves upstream and downstream from each lock, along with three fullservice moorings. Eventually, Parks Canada and the Port of Montreal hope to open some new marinas as well. Kayaks and canoes can be launched at several access points — ask at the locks — and may navigate the entire canal; locks and all. At the time of this writing, there doesn't appear to be any shuttle service, however, so plan on round trips. Boaters must pay a mere $5 for a season permit; stickers can be purchased at Locks #1, 3, 4 or 5. In addi-

tion, all pleasure craft — motorand human-powered — are charged for daily lock use at a rate of $1.25 per foot, with a 12-foot minimum. There are five locks in total. A trip from the Old Port to Atwater and back, for example, will require passage through three locks in each direction. If you want to leave the driving to someone else while getting a history lesson from a Parks Canada guide, catch the canal boat in the Old Port — look for the rainbow bridge near the huge grain towers. Parking in this area is virtually impossible, so leave the car elsewhere and walk, or take the Metro from your car or hotel to Square Victoria. A boat-rental concession at Atwater Market offers one- and two-person canoes, kayaks and paddle-boats, and some Frenchbuilt electrically powered boats for up to seven passengers. Reservations are accepted and are probably a good idea if you're driving up from Vermont for the day. The rates depend on the type of boat you choose. Atwater Market is easy to access via the Mdtro, station Lionel Groulx. Detailed maps and guides to the rec path, canal and its environs are available at several tourist information centers along the canal: at Mill Bridge in the Old Port, at Atwater Market and at rue des Seigneuers, which crosses Notre-Dame just west of Guy. Allons-y; allons-eau! ® Croisiere Canal de Lachine operates weekends only until June 24 and then daily until Labor Day. The cruises depart at 10 a.m., noon, 2p.m. and4p.m. Rates are $17.50 for adults, less for students, seniors and children. A family pass is $46. Access from the Old Port at the Mill Bridge and Rue de la Commune. More info: www.parcscanada. gc.ca/canallachine and www.poledesrapides. com. june 12, 2002

Windsor artist Dale Stein was drawing steam locomotives by age 2, and has continued to use the

train as a metaphor and cultural icon in his artwork. So he didn't have to be railroaded into participating in the current show, "Art of the River, Art of the Rails," at the New England Transportation Museum in White River Junction. Never mind all the politicking and budget squabbles about the future of Vermont's rail system; this exhibit, featuring paintings, prints and photographs about transportationcelebrates

hotography was invented in the 1830s and has been continually reinvented ever since. No other artistic medium so gladly accepts technological innovation. When Iris digital printing made high-resolution, life-sized copies of museum masterpieces available, many painters grimly predicted a cultural gotterdamerung was near at hand. Their only solace was that these prints were not archival. But thanks to better inks, even that happy thought was soon dashed. Meanwhile, like mammals scurrying around in the age of dinosaurs, photographers began to wonder what opportunities digital printing might make available to their art. Two exhibitions at Burlington galleries this month demonstrate that the possibilities are impressive in the hands of a strong artist. Steven Goodman has a show of 25 photographs at the Doll-Anstadt Gallery, and many of them are so big they would have been impossible to make without a computer and large-scale printer. Liza Cowan is a more traditional photographer, currently showing a group of prints at Art Space 150 at the Men's Room. She too prints with an Epson large-format printer, and her 26 works have the rich color saturation that most easily distinguishes ink-jet printing from photo processing. Cowan's pieces are printed on watercolor paper; her largest photographs are about 20 by 14 inches. In her show, titled "Shipyard Archeology," the Burlington-based photographer examines the way the passage of time and the natural environment have affected a particular Long Island shipyard. "Blue Rudder" is a color field rather than a poetic use of the rudder as a metaphor. There are layers of turquoise and white beneath the disintegrating sapphire blue of the painted rudder, illustrating that Cowan has the sensibilities of an abstractionist. "Broken Window" is another blue piece; she uses the borders of the windowpanes to frame different segments of the seascape beyond the broken glass. "Wood and Rust" is a study of textures and lines within a geometric context. Its rusty reds and browns are just as intense as the blues in other prints. Cowan generally features only a few hues at a time, keeping her chromatic harmonies very simple. Rough textures and clean compositions are defining qualities in her work. Goodman has a more painterly approach. His show at the DA is full of layered images and overlapping colors that combine into narrative statements born of an interior world, rather than a particular place. His pieces are also larger than

Cowan's, several about 40 by 30 inches, and printed on vellum rather than watercolor paper. "Am I Enlightened, Am I" consists of a range of transparent lilacs, gold and scarlet reds with lines of text underlying the veils of color. The text is a difFicult-to-decipher, run-together series of phrases that includes the title of the piece. There is a high, red

"#29," by Liza Cowan

horizon line in the piece and a purple X in the lower left corner, adding to the ambiguity of the image. But an impasto gob of bright red paint at upper right seems to pull the entire piece together, providing a much-needed focal point in the overall composition. Goodman's brand of geometric abstraction is more organic than Cowan's. There are few hard-edged lines in his collection, and his pieces have the characteristic softness of lithography, or stain painting. "When I Was" is another largescale piece with a high horizon, but its fields are more opaque than those of "Am I Enlightened," again demonstrating the versatility of high-quality digital prints. Above the horizon is an intensely saturated red with ghostlike clouds of darkness seeping through it. In the lower left of the red area is a circle of blackness hanging just above the horizon. Similarly sized circles pepper the " reaches beneath the horizon. They are yellow-orange, drifting in a white field like dozens of fried eggs commingled in a skillet. Goodman's pieces are more complex, and perhaps less accessible, than Cowan's. Both, however, create works of beauty. Technology is like the old saying about Vermont weather. If you don't like it, wait a few minutes and it will change. This is certainly the case with digital media, and recent changes seem to be for the better. Does this mean painting and printmaking are finally dead? Considering that a 70-1 horse won at Belmont last weekend, don't bet on it. (Z)

Based upon sketches he drew from what were then the major "highways" of Japan, the renowned artist turned out landscapes that utilized Western perspective and featured everyday life.

SEVEN DAYS

Sunday morning, "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert asked Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge this question: "Isn't it just a matter of time until terrorists detonate a nuclear bomb in the United States?" Kind of makes you nostalgic for the good old days when the Soviet empire had thousands of missiles aimed at us, doesn't it? Ridge's reply was evasive, but Hollywood's take on the threat is crystal-clear. If not for the heroics of Tim Allen, Ben Affleck and Chris Rock, terrorists already would have dropped the big one. Believe it or not, Bad Company is the third movie dealing with the topic that's been released since September 11. Even stranger, of course, is the fact that all three — Big Trouble and The Sum of All Fears are the others — were in the works well before awareness of this new peril was raised. You know you're living in wacky times when the filmmaking community taps into something like this ahead of the intelligence community. I remember first seeing the trailer for Bad Company many months ago: Anthony Hopkins as a heat-packing, goon-chasing CIA guy. Chris Rock as the twin of an agent killed in the line of duty recruited to take his place in a dangerous mission. Other than the jumbo paychecks, I couldn't imagine why either would even consider going Bruckheimer on us at this point in his career, and I held out minimal hope that the picture would prove anything but an embarrassment. Well, I still wonder why either bothered, but I do have to admit the film could have wound up a bigger disaster. Just ask its director, Joel Schumacher. At least this one made it into wide release. That's more than can be said for his previous undertaking, Flawless. A movie's got to be pret-

ty lame to star Robert De Niro and Philip Seymour Hoffman and still go straight to video. The once-promising filmmaker here manages to turn out a by-the-numbers action comedy and, in the process, leaves no cliche of the genre unturned. Rock's a wise-cracking, trash-talking street hustler. Hopkins informs him that the brother he never met has been murdered and his country needs him to step in and finish the top-secret job he started. At first the only thing the guy's interested in is the size of the paycheck. Hopkins and pals give Rock a crash course in the tricks of the trade, apply some polish to his rough veneer and, the next thing you know, the two are in Eastern Europe on the trail of shadowy types with a suitcase nuke to sell. I don't need to tell you what happens after that. The bad guys are such stock characters their leader is played by Peter Stormare, who sounds like he's doing his Boris Badenov impression. They run Rock and Hopkins around in circles, produce the promised bomb and then run everybody around in circles some more. What the script lacks in brains and freshness it more than makes up for in pointless plot twists. And, it goes without saying, the two spies bond. Hey, it's buddy-film law. If anyone but Chris Rock had played this part, the picture would have proven unwatchable. As it is, the comedian riffs and razzes his way through the movie, throwing in off-the-top-of-head stuff that breathes into Bad Company a little life. They're not all gems — he bats around .350 — but it's a valiant effort. Watching Rock save the world turns out to be fairly tedious. Watching him save this film, on the other hand, makes for an intermittently good time. (Z)

POWER

On. Every Day.

PEAK PERFORMANCE The Cannes Film Festival on the French Riviera is renowned for the sometimes outrageous antics of celebrity wannabes, but a low-key gathering in the Adirondack^ attracted its fair share of attention-getters this year. Last Thursdays opening reception at the third annual Lake Placid Film Forum was the setting for some bizarre movie make-believe. An unsuspecting Burlington College senior named Seth Whittier was accosted by a wild-haired, tattooed stranger wearing a fur vest and billing himself as Thor the Barbarian. "I looked like a Samurai," explains the skinny 23-year-old, whose own long locks were in a topknot. "He offered me his woman, but I respectfully declined." Feigning displeasure, the burly warrior unsheathed his machete and challenged the Queen City lad, who was armed with only a pizza box, to a duel. Thor's cameraman captured a final shot of Whittier and classmate Nick Wood, 21, running away from the mock encounter. The sequence will be included in the barbarian's cinema verite production scheduled for later broadcast on his UHF and cable TV shows in Manhattan. The two Vermonters were among 15 fellow film students from their school frolicking in Lake Placid as part of a three-credit course,

"The Festival Experience" — a title that certainly resonated for Whittier and Wood. Other Green Mountain State aficionados in Lake Placid last weekend — Norwich writer-director Nora Jacobson, Burlington activist Robin Lloyd and Rick Winston, who owns the Savoy Theater in Montpelier — missed Thor's escapade. In less surreal circumstances on Friday, filmmakers such as Joan Micklin Silver (Crossing Delancey), Susan Seidelman (Desperately Seeking Susan) and John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) held a panel discussion called "Seriously Funny: Using Comedy as a Means of Social Satire." "In the '70s, there was a sense of being irreverent and anti-establishment," Mitchell surmised. "In the yuppie '80s and even more materialistic '90s, that kind of humor became less fashionable." Seidelman — who brought her funny «0/r-with-a-twist Gaudi Afternoon, to the Forum — praised the golden age of screwball comedies after the Great Depression. "Back then movies were smarter, more verbal and sophisticated," she added. "Now, Hollywood feels the need to dumb down." The Lake Placid extravaganza tries to "smart-up" by creating a special niche within the worldwide proliferation of film festivals. "We have a literate audience," boasts Executive Director Naj Wikoff. "People read in the North Country. For one thing, the winters are so long and cold." Saratoga Springs resident Russell Banks was signing his books in the lobby of the Hilton Resort, headquarters for the four-day event. A Forum co-founder, he authored The Sweet Hereafter and Affliction, both of which were later adapted for independent cinematic release. The already successful career of mystery writer Elmore Leonard, also in Lake Placid autographing copies of his work, got a boost when Get Shorty became a popular John Travolta movie in 1995. The 76year-old wordsmith has published 37 novels; 18 of them have made it to the big screen, and four more such projects are in the pipeline. "Don Cheadle is directing Tishomingo Blues and acting in it," Leonard said. "I've got Pagan Babies at Universal and Be Cool, the sequel to Get Shorty, at MGM. Paramount's doing my novella Tenkiller, with Bruce Willis as the star." Lake Placid native Kathleen Carroll, a former New York Daily News critic, is the Forum's artistic director. The 90 features, documentaries and shorts she programed drew crowds. One of her biggest coups was the world premier of Scorched, a crime caper with Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone and John Cleese. Sunshine State, by John Sayles, was a Forum centerpiece about ordinary Floridians confronted with real estate development schemes. Sayles fielded questions from Banks at a public interview and participated in a Sunday "roundtable" on collaboration. He shared the Lake Placid spotlight with actors Campbell Scott, Kyra Sedgwick, Timothy Hutton and Mary Beth Hurt, among other film folks. That did not leave much room for lesser-known practitioners of the art form, such as Thor. The hirsute character, who is 43 but declines to give his real name, does have a New York City office — Barbarian Enterprises is located on trendy Fifth Avenue. ©

Dear Cecil, Not sure why this comes to mind now, but is it true that Joseph Stalin was once a seminarian ? — Mike Toncray Joliet, Illinois Yes. No question, you get some unique personalities in seminaries. Take Stalin — an allpowerful despot, venerated by his subjects (in public, anyway) and accustomed to absolute obedience. If he hadn't wound up as head of the Soviet Union, he'd have made the perfect cardinal archbishop. Stalin's authoritarian bent can't be attributed entirely to his seminary training, though. Fact is, he was expelled. The sickly son of an alcoholic bootmaker who died in a brawl, Stalin was initially sent to a church school in his native Georgia by his devout mother, and at age 14 he'd done well enough to earn a scholarship to Tiflis Theological Seminary in what is now Tbilisi. If he'd played his cards right, he'd have wound up a priest in the Georgian Orthodox Church, where he could have spent his career terrorizing the altar boys. Not our Joe. He joined a secret society called Messameh Dassy that advocated Georgian independence from Russia. (Ironically, this goal wasn't achieved until the collapse of the totalitarian regime that Stalin helped create.) Some members of the group were also socialists, and they introduced Stalin to radical ideas. It's said he often sneaked out to attend revolutionary meetings and organize local workers. This all got to be a bit much for the seminary authorities, who gave Stalin the boot in 1899, when he was 19. Sources differ on exactly what precipitated the break. Some say the future Soviet leader was accused of disrespecting authority and reading forbidden books; others say he skipped an examination. Stalin said he was expelled for

propagating Marxism. His mother preferred to believe he left because of ill health. Obviously she was one of those women you see quoted in the newspapers: "MASS MURDERER'S MOM: 'HE WAS ALWAYS SUCH A GOOD BOY."' How much Stalin's years at the seminary influenced his later career is debatable. During the civil war following the October Revolution, the eventual ruler of the Soviet Union took to interviewing subordinates on a barge moored in the Volga River. Legend has it that those who answered unsatisfactorily were shot and their bodies dumped over the side. One assumes this was not a literal re-creation of the system of discipline at the seminary, which was nowhere near the Volga. However, the idea of brooking no dissent and dealing firmly with underlings — you can see where an ecclesiastical education would inculcate an appreciation of these things. Particularly when the ecclesiastical education took place in Georgia, a land where the expression "cutthroat competition" isn't used metaphorically. A rector at the Tiflis seminary had been murdered during a period of student unrest prior to Stalin's arrival; clearly this was not the sort of academic environment in which the threat of after-school detention would keep the lads in line. As I say, one doesn't want to make too much of Stalin's time as priest-in-training. By all accounts he hated the seminary and did his best to stamp out Christianity in the Soviet Union later in life. Still, the parallels are suggestive. While one realizes that the Georgian church follows the Eastern rite, one can easily imagine Stalin admiring the brilliant cloak of a Roman Catholic cardinal and thinking: "You know, I like the color red." — CECIL ADAMS

BR0WNELL LIBRARY, ESSEX JUNCTION, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 7 P.M. life in rural Maine. Calling King "Steve," the

The lights went dim in the cold room. A late spring gale wracked the windowpanes, pelting them with rain, demanding to be let in. Silence gripped the spectators. Suddenly, a child's shriek echoed

through the halls of the Brownell Library. In the tiled Kolvoord Room, the face of Tony Magistrale, Stephen King biographer, had

suddenly appeared, its features illuminated from below and hideously contorted by the naked projector

raspy-voiced speaker led us through the author's humble beginnings and described his love of baseball. He talked about how King's father

once went out for a pack of cigarettes and never returned. He said "Steve's" favorite movie in college was Attack of the Giant Leeches.

When talk turned to King's recent literature,

an enthusiastic library employee named Tess

said she was surprised by the humanity of these stories and by the fact that they weren't very scary.

Well, not quite. The 20-or-so King fans,

library regulars and former students of University of Vermont English professor

Magistrale may have come hoping to be thrilled by just this sort of tale. As we waited for the talk to begin, an older woman, the pastels of her outfit matching the cheerful artwork on the

walls, informed us that the space we were occupying was part of recent additions at the Essex

Junction facility. A younger neighbor to my left busied herself with her legal pad, preparing to take notes. A couple in matching Carhartts brought our attention to the free coffee and

snacks.

When Magistrale arrived, we were munching

on macaroons and cheese doodles. The professor invoked anything but fear as he regaled us with tales of the horror-fiction author's ordinary

I was the only person to ask about the author's real-life nightmares, but the answer

was interrupted by a question about King's

recovery from his accident. Magistrale responded by quoting King. "Oh, my God, I was almost killed by one of my own characters!" Then, in a feeble attempt at a Maine accent, Magistrale imitated King's assailant. Nobody mentioned anything scary again. I went to the talk imagining high school

girls drenched in pigs' blood and clowns with razor-sharp teeth. I left convinced of nothing but King's normalcy.

If you'll notice, Aries,' I'm hinting that in the near future, everything will come in threes — except when it comes in twos, and that'll mean you should track down the missing third. As a general rule, there are no other general rules, except this: Don't make the call of the w i l d wait and wait and wait.

TAURUS (Apr. 2 0 - M a y 2 0 ) : It looks like the war in heaven has been

downgraded to a mere skirmish in your mind. A n d even that m a y soon be winding down into nothing more than a kind of pillow fight or tickling match. Already I can envision the lonely bull and sacred cow striking up a hot bargain over a soundtrack of futuristic love songs. Already I foresee the red-eyed angel apologizing for the rude oversights and coming to fling a few blessings on anyone who's alert enough to grab them.

GEMINI ( M a y 21-June 20):

T h e Amish people follow strict customs that dramatically set them apart from the rest of us. In a quest for simplicity, they refrain from using electricity and driving cars. Their clothes are ascetic and old-fashioned, and they don't use alcohol or drugs. Even battery-operated T V s are taboo, since they'd allow Amish households to be invaded by our cultures vulgarity. Yet these understated folks also have a tradition called rumspringa, or "running around." At age 16, every m e m b e r of the c o m m u n i t y is given the opportunity to try on the crazy values of the outside world. If after a period of carousing they decide they prefer the quiet life they grew up with, they're welcomed back. I encourage y o u to con-

sider going on your own version of rumspringa in the coming weeks, Gemini. Escape from your familiar customs, and try on beliefs and styles you've always wondered about.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

the love counselor Dear Lola, I have never written to a love column before, but your response to "Unneeded in Newport" has provoked me to break my silence. "Unneeded" was upset by his wife's excessive use of cucurbits in bed. you advised him to encourage her to "reacquaint herself with the merits of meat." As a committed vegan, I am deeply offended by your thoughtless promotion of carnivorousness. Meat is death and has no place in a loving relationship. — Vegetarian in Vergennes Dear Vegetarian, I'm afraid you have mistaken my meaning. I had no intention of suggesting to this couple that they cuddle up with cutlets, wrestle with roasts, fornicate with fillets, hump hams or dally with drumsticks. The images you conjure of shish kebobs between the sheets are strictly the product of your own imagination. That is not to say, on the other hand, that I find anything wrong with such activities, as long as the participating parties are competent to consent. And someone eats the meat when it's done. — Love, Lola
