| “Oh no! It's....

T h e m onster who’s eating our landscape!"

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. Something hungry is oozing over Chittenden County, sucking up cornfields, leveling forests, leaving destruction in its wake. Its origin? A well-meaning desire for the good life. And a faster road to get us there. But no one realized that when you build big stores and subdivisions at the end of a two lane road, traffic congestion comes along for the ride. And when you build a new road because you think it will relieve the traffic, you get even more cars than ever — plus more big stores, more subdivisions, more frustration, more road rage. A monster headache, at the very least.

It drives among us. (Aaaarghli) The monster has taken over our brains. So now we're planning to build it a nice cement pathway, for only about $168 million in federal and state money. Such a deal. This expensive new road is called the Chittenden County Circumferential High way. The Circ for short. It's a really good idea, from the

Our county's Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) has already spent $34.4 million on this wasteful, unnecessary project. Now the House and Senate Trans portation Committees are poised to release Circ funds.

Or we can create a model for the nation —

by integrating transportation, housing and commercial development on a human scale. A smart growth solution we can live with for decades to come!

monster's point of view. The Circ will chew through miles of wetlands, rare sandplain, farmland and open space, paving the way for sprawl, burdening services in rural towns like Jericho, Westford and Underhill, shifting retail business from town centers. It will make a few people wealthy...and all of us poorer, in ways we can't measure with money. And (cue the maniacal laugh, please) it won't even solve the pesky traffic conges tion problem.

N O RISK OF SPLITTIN G VOTE In response to Michael Schaal’s letter [Weekly Mail, May 31], I would like to say that while I agree with almost everything he writes, and that we should applaud and re-elect every incumbent who voted in Favor of the civil-unions bill, there is one point on which he, and most likely many other Vermonters, is misinformed about. Contrary to what might be prevalent belief, in voting for a third-party candidate for governor there is little risk of throwing ones vote away, nor will doing this mean that an extreme conservative will automatically become gover nor. In Vermont, to become gover nor a candidate must receive over 50 percent of the vote. If there are three candidates, it is unlikely that any candidate will receive more than 50 percent of the vote; thus, after the election, if there is no clear winner, the vote will go to the Legislature in a secret ballot. In this scenario, the Legislature will have had to shift strongly to the right before Ruth Dwyer would be elected. I encourage people to vote their hopes in November. We are lucky to have the opportunity to vote for Anthony Pollina. — Ellen Rubenstein • Burlington ARTIST IN PERSPECTIVE The reviewer of the current exhibition of 13 Middlebury alum ni artists seems unfamiliar with the achievements of Robert Gober [“Panther Palettes,” June 7], but many o f your readers might recog nize this artist’s name if it were spelled correctly. To put the com ments o f the reviewer in perspec

tive, your readers should know that Gober is the sole artist chosen to represent the United States in next year’s Venice Biennale. Those inter ested in knowing why Gober might have been selected for such a dis tinction might welcome the oppor tunity to see his work first hand — as well as that of a dozen other highly accomplished contemporary artists — at the exhibition now on view at the Middlebury College Museum of Art. The illustrated cat alogue accompanying the exhibi tion should also be of interest. — Emmie Donadio Associate Director, Middlebury College Museum of Art ALTERNATE HAZING VIEW As a somewhat “artsy” sort of guy, one who never quite fit in on team sports, I wanted to offer a different opinion on the UVM hockey hazing incident, which was revisited a few weeks ago in a letter to Seven Days [Weekly Mail, May 24], O n my high school hockey team, and in college rugby, I remember the emotions of fear and humiliation the woman in the let ter spoke of. I also remember a similar fear and humiliation I experienced living with a Masai tribe in Kenya, getting to know the Masai warrior youth. This spirited and sometimes mischievous group of Masai weren’t much different than my rugby team and, looking back, I cherish both experiences as opportunities to grow and have a hell of a lot of fun. I don’t know the true specifics of the UVM hazing incident, none of the public does. I know that I support LaTulippe’s immense brav ery, as well as the bravery of all of the players and the coaches. A

team is a complex thing. It angers me to hear women refer to male hazing with such consternation. The previous letter used terms like “juvenile macho” and “braggadocio.” In many cul tures around the globe, boys grow into men in ways women cannot fully understand, and I believe judgment and attempts at controling this process should be resisted. I feel strongly about this. I think restrictions on men’s adventurous spirit is subtle and pervasive in our society, and often what is deemed macho or insensitive is sometimes a reflection of the judgers’ lack ol introspection regarding their own emotional needs. Is any form of hazing okay? Absolutely not, but if our students are subject to too many restrictions, I think we may be disappointed in the adults we help create. — Jon Roberts Burlington D O N ’T GIVE MAYOR POWER TO MISUSE Progressives puzzle me. For one thing, who knows what the word really means, politically? One guesses that a Progressive stands apart from the old, same-andsame-again, Democrat-Republican axis, but what else? During the Sanders administration, at least, Progressives seemed to be socially innovative, even radical: Power to the People, stand up for the little guy, neighborhood assemblies, that kind of thing. So when Mayor Clavelle wants to eliminate city commissions, a unique part of our local democra cy, he seems to be substituting managerial instinct for political philosophy. One sympathizes with his frustration. We shouldn’t blame

him for what he can’t control — and he should tell us often just what that is. But, after all, the nature of a healthy polity is dis content; healthy citizens gripe. We shouldn’t give the mayor power that we would then have to criti cize him for misusing. Good government isn’t neces sarily efficient; the Nazis were effi cient. Democracy works best with tension between the interested par ties. Government is good, but it can’t be trusted; if nobody’s com plaining, something’s wrong. Discontent is the ideal state, not a deplorable one. Government should keep balancing what some people want against what others don’t. Uneasy sits the occupant of a mayor’s chair, and that’s as it should be. I wouldn’t want the job myself. — Fred G. Hill Burlington CORRECTION: In our story, “O n a Role” [May 31], we incorrectly stated the White River Valley Players were based in Waitsfield. They are, in fact, based in Rochester, Vermont. Sorry lor the geographical goof The photograph of Nova Kim that appeared in our story about the Sheffield quarry [“Between a Rock and a Hard Place,” June 7] was miscredited.

H o m o h, men! C a n t live with ’em, can’t live w ithout ’em. Or, as the bum per sticker says, “If they can put a man on the moon, why can’t they put them all there?” It’s a fair question. I’m referring to “straight” men, o f course, although there’s not as m uch difference as you m ight think between the several breeds. Take my part ner — please! Sorry. Now that every one’s getting married, I can’t resist the H enny Youngman jokes. W hat other defense have we got against the mass dom estication o f the male animal? T h a t’s what marriage has turned into, and th at’s what V erm ont’s “civil-union” legislation is really about — turning men into house pets. T h a t’s why women are for it and men are against it. No one really objects if a couple o f women w ant to live togeth er, but a couple of men? Watch out! In fact, I ’m will ing to go out on a limb and risk the wrath o f the Lesbian Mafia by saying that, if it weren’t for women, no civilunion legislation would ever have gotten off the ground, in this or any other state. Lots o f gay guys want to be married, appar ently, or say they do, but as a general rule you can’t keep them away from the m irror long enough to do anything about it. It’s women who wanted “domestic partner ships” and women who pushed them through. Look at the polls: Every survey conducted in Vermont to date reveals that women, generally, are in favor o f legalizing same-sex unions and men, generally, are not. T he statistical difference is im portant, with 47 percent o f wom en in a recent poll approving o f civil unions as opposed to 38 percent o f men. In addition, most male legislators on the House Judiciary C om m ittee voted against civil unions, but most female legislators voted for them . And in the Senate, all the wom en — D em ocrat and Republican — voted for them. W hy should this be?

Plainly, it’s not a religious difference. Either you believe the Christian hooey or you don’t. It isn’t even revulsion at w hat’s called “homosexual ity,” there being no bigger turn-on for your average Joe than the sight o f two women making it — provided they’re “babes,” o f course, preferably with high heels, panties, lots o f lipstick and eye shadow and huge, badly teased hair. But show the same guys a porn video o f two men copu lating and see how fast the guns come out. T hen the sex is “perverted,” “disgusting,” “abnorm al” — just as it would be, presumably, if men were forced to watch a video o f two real lesbians get ting it on. Those dolled-up girls in the porn flicks, squealing, panting and m oaning for His Highness’ pleasure, bear no more rela-

aren’t. And they ’t like it.i tion to real women than action heroes do to real men. It’s the same fantasy, and it’s not about sex — it’s about power. Look back in time and you’ll see that men’s interest in marriage has always been about control — controlling wom en, controlling “paterni ty,” controlling everything. Now that marriage is held to be a union o f equal partners, however, men are mad as hornets. T hey’ve softened up. T hey’re being feminized. T hey’ve done the laundry and changed the baby and now they w ant to clobber somebody. It m ight as well be the poofters. Notice: T he same dynam ic that drives the anti-abor

tion movement drives the anti-civil-union crowd. The face may be female (Nancy Sheltra, Ruth Dwyer, “Dr. Laura,” etc.) but, behind the scenes, men are running the show. It’s men who don’t want women to have rights to their own bodies, and it’s men who don’t want “homos” to get married. Ask Randall Terry. Check out any “Christian” Web site and see w ho’s calling the shots. It’ll come up male every time. “I think the state of Vermont is simply being used right now as a stalkinghorse in an effort to destroy the foundation of marriage throughout our society,” presidential aspirant Alan Keyes told local reporters this spring. “W hat they represent is a new effort to encourage us all to become individuals so enslaved by passions that we have redefined hum an nature... We cannot accept this new form of slavery.” “Slavery,” no less, and from a black man! The truth is that the “foundation of marriage,” until very recent ly, rested on absolute power for men and none whatsoev er for women. This is what the modern he-man so deeply resents — the loss of his freedom, autonom y and right to domination. Women are accustomed to being used — pawed at and poked, flipped over and thrust into. So are many gay men. But straight men aren’t. And they don’t like it. The most common explanation for male “hom ophobia” is “latent homosexuality.” T hat is, if a straight man is hostile to gay men it must be because he has doubts about his own masculinity. This is a false assumption. It isn’t true, and gay activists make a big mis take by saying it is. Every man has doubts about his masculinity — just look at all those skyscrapers! But it doesn’t mean they want a dildo in bed. W hat men really fear is vulnerability, submission and loss o f control. These are qualities historically associat ed with women in the male mind. And when a man treats another man the way he treats a woman, that other man feels that nothing worse on Earth could ever happen to him. Nothing worse. It’s as simple as that. You’ve come a long way, baby — but keep some scissors handy. You’ll need them. (Z)

Trustworthy, loyal, helpful... and discriminatory? Vermont challenges the “ honor” of an American institution,

_ men’s Issue

th e L

B y R uth Horowitz he Boy Scout recruiting flyer that N oah Kowalski brought hom e w ent out to all the boys in the third grade at Burlington’s Flynn Elem entary School. N oah’s father, Reverend Gary Kowalski o f the First Unitarian Universalist Society, accompanied his son to the sub sequent meeting, and even offered to help the troop. But as he was filling out the registration form, Kowalski discovered that all adult volunteers m ust con form to the Scouts’ statem ent o f religious principles. W hen the minister asked w hat this state m ent entailed, he received a twoword answer: “N o atheists!” Kowalski told his son he was sorry, b u t he couldn’t let him join the Scouts, because Unitarianism is founded on the principle o f individual freedom o f belief and the understanding that belief in G od isn’t necessary for living a life o f integrity. “T he statem ent ‘N o atheists’ seemed incredibly sim ple-m inded and offensive to all people w ho struggle w ith the G od question,” Kowalski says. “It was hard to explain this to a third-grader w ho just w anted to build teepees and tie knots.” D orothy M am m en tells a similar story. T hree years ago, her son Ian received a Scouts recruit m ent letter through his firstgrade class at M ary Hogan Elementary School in M iddlebury. M am m en had heard that the Boy Scouts don’t accept gays and was reluctant to let her son join the organization. But Ian was excited about bowling and cam ping and having parties with other boys, and M am m en’s hus band, form er Eagle Scout Steve Trombulak, was eager to share Scouting w ith his son. So M am m en and Ian w ent to the inform ational meeting. “Before signing up, I asked about their policy about gay scout leaders,” she says. “T hey told me very matter-of-factly that they weren’t allowed, and that this was just a m atter o f safety for the boys. I took Ian hom e.”

M am m en explained her decision in terms any six-year-old could understand. “I told him he couldn’t be a Cub Scout because they believed things that weren’t fair to some people. He was real ly upset with m e,” she adds. “But there is no way that I could in good conscience allow my son, straight or gay, to participate in an organization where the leader ship equated homosexuality and pedophilia.” Boy Scouts are am ong the most entrenched American icons, right up there with blue jeans and baseball. But beneath the clean, trustworthy, Norm an Rockwell-inspiring image, these brow n-shirtea do-gooders have been battling a barrage o f recent attacks. W hile the Scouts’ official exclusion o f the godless and the gay repels people like Kowalski and M am m en, the 5.8 millionm em ber organization’s liberal use o f schools and other public facili ties has made its discriminatory membership policies prime tar gets for litigation. Is Boy Scouts o f America (BSA) a private club, like the Knights o f Pythias, that’s simply exercising its rights o f freedom of speech and assembly? O r is it a public accom m odation, like Great Adventure, and therefore subject to governmental anti-dis crim ination laws? In recent years, this question has been tested in courtroom s across the country, including an appeal currently pending before the U.S. Supreme C ourt. T his case, in which BSA hopes to overturn a New Jersey Supreme C o u rt decision that the group acted illegally when it expelled a gay Scout leader, could be decided any day now. The ramifications of this ruling are likely to be felt nationwide, including here in Vermont, where A ttorney General William Sorrell has filed an amicus brief in support o f the New Jersey court’s decision, and where 9000 residents proudly sport the Boy Scout uniform.

IMh

merican Boy Scouts have been excluding atheists and agnostics since 1910, when the first recruit pledged “to do [his] duty to G od.” In 1917, the original Boy Scout handbook clarified that “no boy can grow into the best kind o f citizen w ith out recognizing an obligation to G od.” N ot surprisingly, the m ovement’s condem nation of homosexuality is less explicit. It’s in the tail end of the Scout’s O ath that a boy promises to keep himself “morally straight.” Scout Law also m an dates a member be “clean” in word and deed, which BSA inter prets as being inconsistent with homosexuality. Like the army, the Scouts take a “don’t ask, don’t tell” approach. “We don’t have a line on our application that asks, Are you gay?”’ notes Jerry Lupien, execu tive director o f the BSA’s Green M ountain Council. “We don’t go around trying to preach that homosexuals are bad people. We are not in any way anti-gay or gay bashers. It’s only an issue if someone is an avowed homosex ual and publicly makes it known that they don’t agree with our core values.” In other words, if you’re out, as a Scout, you’re out o f the Scouts. Lupien insists the Scouts are a private group, and therefore enti tled to decide for themselves w ho’s in and who’s out. “We do not force anyone else to believe in those values beyond our mem bership,” he points out. “You don’t w ant the state dictating what you can do with your organization. If a group of people want to get together and believe that a space ship is hiding behind the moon, it’s their right to do that,” he suggests. “T he confu sion is that BSA is so popular and its values are so widely held — so ingrained in the fabric o f America — that people think we have to serve the public.” Sorrell isn’t persuaded. “If you accept pretty much all comers and use public property and pub

lic money to support your activities, then you’re going to have a hard time saying, ‘No, were like a country club,”’ the attorney general argues. He was once a Scout himself, he reports — “Troop 14, Cathedral o f the Immaculate C oncep tion.” And as recently as this March, the states leading lawyer chaired a fundraiser dinner for the Green M ountain Council that hon ored Governor Howard Dean and brought in $30,000. Sorrell says he asked about the discrimination issue before accepting the invitation. “The answer I thought I heard was that a gay Scoutmaster who was simply gay would not be discrim inated against in Verm ont.” Though no local cases have come to light o f members being dismissed on this basis alone, Lupien confirms that BSA m em bership policies are set by the National Council, with no localoption provisions. “[Sorrell] may be correct in what he thought he heard,” Lupien insists. “But that’s not what I said. Avowed hom o sexuals cannot be leaders in BSA.” Lupien is mystified by Sorrell’s decision to make Vermont one o f 10 other states to support the case against the Scouts. “I have to assume it was with the full blessings and knowledge of the governor,” he guesses. “W hy they chose to do that, I don’t know. I’m not sure they’re representing the majority of the residents o f V erm ont.” But Sorrell scoffs at the sug gestion that he acted at the behest o f Howard Dean. “I have not consulted with the governor about this issue,” he clarifies. “O u r offices are independent of each other. T he Attorney General’s office is an elective office.”

f the Supreme C ourt upholds the New Jersey decision, the Scouts may have to choose between loosen ing up their membership stan dards or losing their public perks. Here in Vermont, such a ruling could finally settle a stand-off in Benson, where town officials have been trying unsuccessfully to collect land taxes from the Boy Scouts’ Cam p Sunrise. T he Scouts claim coverage under a Vermont law that specifically exempts BSA and a handful o f other organizations from paying local property taxes. W ith the camp’s land accounting for 2 percent o f Benson’s grand list and helping

to push it towards gold-town sta tus under Act 60, this exemption am ounts to a fairly generous public subsidy that rankles some conservatives. O ther residents, like Selectboard member John Fedor, object to what they see as the Boy Scouts’ violation of Verm ont’s anti-discrimination laws. “In the New Jersey suit,” Fedor observes, “they’re claiming to be a private institution. If that’s the case, they have to pay taxes.” Lupien disputes this interpre tation, pointing out that under Verm ont’s tax code, most non profit institutions are tax-exempt, whether they’re private or not. An obvious way lor the Scouts to m aintain the public privileges they now enjoy would be to revamp their membership

criteria. BSA already made one such concession a couple years ago, when its high-school-level Explorers program came under attack. Explorers is a career-ori ented program in which individ ual “posts” are sponsored by pri vate businesses and public agen cies like local police and fire departm ents, and the U.S. Coast Guard. W hen outcry over BSA’s discriminatory principles shut down Explorers posts in several cities, the Scouts re-organized the program. Today, Explorers are not tech nically considered Boy Scouts, and therefore are free to follow their own personal religious beliefs — or lack thereof — and sexual orientations. They can even be girls. Decoupling Explorers from the Scouts “was the only option we had,” Lupien admits. For career-minded teens who crave the brown uniform — and meet Scout requirements — BSA has launched a new, sepa rate, oath-bound movement called Venturing. Does the Explorers concession mean the Boy Scouts will one day be prepared to welcome everyone — even heathens-and homosexuals — into their teepee? Probably not. Lupien asserts, “We remain steadfast in the belief that teaching tradition al family values is im portant.” Accepting adults known to be homosexual would be particular ly controversial, he adds. “Sexuality issues don’t belong in the Boy Scouts. C hildren at that age level aren’t ready for them. There’s a large population that would be upset if we did change that ;po‘licy.” ^ V V V v- 1 f"C

earn merit badges based on their faith. “I find it difficult to under stand that an organization like UU, which professes to teach tol erance, can seem to be so intoler ant on this issue,” Lupien com ments. “We’re not telling them what to teach in their religion. We didn’t tell them they couldn’t use the book.” N or have the Scouts told the Unitarians they can’t wear the T-shirts currently being sold by the UU Youth Office, which carry the message, “Prepared to stand against intol erance,” and have a picture of two Boy Scouts holding hands.

hatever BSA’s official policy may be, the tone o f actual, week-by-week Boy Scouting is mainly deter mined by the makeup and atti tudes o f individual troops. And for some families who disagree with the stands taken by BSA at a national level, the personal trum ps the political. In troops like the Burlington group led for several years by Dennis McBee, Scouting can be strikingly kind and gentle. “A lot of the things we were doing had to do with respecting people and working together,” says McBee, who emphasized activities that nur tured regard for the natural envi ronm ent and understanding of Native Americans based on research into real tribes rather than stereotypes. To observe Scout Sunday, when Scouts go to church in uniform , McBee’s group focused on interfaith understanding by visiting a local synagogue and the Unitarian Universalist Society.

Fo r G ir ls , K n o t a P r o b l e m . . . The Boy Scouts’ straight and narrow take on religion and sexuali ty isn’t shared by all youth organizations. Perhaps not surprising ly, the girls in green are a lot more open than their brothers in brown. According to official Girl Scout policy, the movement “respects the values and belief- o f each of its members and does not investigate or intrude into personal matters. Therefore we do not have policies that focus on individual sexual preference.” Though Cam p Fire Boys and Girls are officially “com m itted to spiritual developm ent,” the organization lets its members and their families define or deny the divine according to their own terms, and urges its councils to respect religious differences. — R.H.

FROM "KIDS IN THE HALL" The Scouts have assumed a much more combative position in an on-going face-off with the Unitarian Universalist (UU) church. T he dispute began four years ago, when UU leadership passed a resolution objecting to Boy Scout policies. At the same time, the church revised its m ate rials for “Religion and Life” and “Love and H elp” — merit badges that reward a Scout’s participa tion in the religion o f his choice. A revised handbook for this badge published by the Unitarians explicitly expresses their acceptance o f homosexuali ty. It also states that some boys may have “trouble with the reli gious language” in the Boy Scout oath. In 1998, BSA retaliated by revoking the Unitarian version o f the badge, m aking Unitarianism the only m ajor American denom ination whose members can’t

W hile adult volunteers like McBee are quietly providing a relatively progressive brand of Scouting, parents like Kowalski and M am m en are taking their concerns to their local school dis tricts. “T he Scouts seem to have defined themselves as a parachurch organization,” says Kowalski. “They w ant the rituals and regalia of a doctrinal organi zation, but the privileges of a nonsecular organization.” T hat is, the right to distribute recruit m ent materials through the pub lic schools. After Kowalski con tacted superintendent Donna Jemilo and several school board members, Burlington began requiring BSA flyers to carry dis claimers stating that the schools don’t sponsor or endorse the organization, and that the distri bution o f its literature is strictly a

You m ay have wondered why the ignition is in the console between the seats (besides being another unique Saab-ism .)

You m ay have noticed that Saab nam es all its cars using a “9." There’s a history to this. The Saab “90 ” and " 91 " were airplanes. The first car, predictably, was the “92 .” Saabs have included a nine in their names ever since, from all the Saab 90 s to the 900 to the 9000 models. Continuing this trend, the next logical Saab number would be the Saab 90 ,000 . Since 90,000 lacks a certain poetry, we shortened the five digits to 9 -5. Likewise, we renamed the new and improved succes sor to the 900 the " 9-3.”

It’s actually a safety feature of the car. Think about it. In other cars, your knee may hit the keys during an accident. Moving the ignition is one way you're protected in a Saab. Also, if you’re impaired in an accident, the front-seat passenger can easily reach down and turn off the car. O f course, an ignition between the seats is also ergonomically sound. (It’s where your hand naturally falls.) But you’d expect that from a Saab.

S a a b is one o f the world’s sm allest car m anufacturers, but you’d never know it from all the ways we’ve surprised the world durin g the last 50 years. We were the first with self-repairing bumpers (1971).First with air conditioning free of CFCs (1991 ). First with heated seats (1971) and headlight wiper/washers (1970 ). First with ventilated front seats (1998 ). And first with Active Head restraints designed to help prevent whiplash in rear-end collisions (1998 ). How obsessed are we with innova tions? On the Saab 9-5, there are eight patents pending on the chassis alone.

In a crash test o f the 9-5, two cars collided in a head on, offset crash. Each car was traveling at a speed of 37.5 mph. Measurements taken by engineers during the crash revealed there was very lit tle likelihood of serious injury* Despite the severe nature of the collision, you could still open the doors and climb in and out of the front seat. ♦Assum es properly belted occupants.

the only parent to complain. Unlike Burlington, where troops not only recruit through the classroom but also occasionally use school facilities for their activities, M iddlebury doesn’t allow Scouts to use its schools for anything other than sending home flyers. The issue before Lombardo now is whether dis tributing literature for an organi zation that falls short of the dis tricts nondiscrimination stan dards constitutes a violation of those rules by the district. “Given our long-standing relationship with the Scouts, this decision would have to be brought to the Board level,” Lombardo says. “It’s a tough one for schools, because the Scouts certainly do a lot of positive things for the community. O n the other hand,” he acknowl edges, the Scouts’ exclusion of gays is “a very clear policy.” Like hundreds o f other administrators, Lombardo is waiting to take his cue from the Supreme Court. But regardless of what the justices determine, some parents have already made up their minds. “Even if the Supreme C ourt says they’re act ing within their constitutional rights, that doesn’t mean I want my children to be part of an organization that discriminates in this way,” declares Don Loeb, the father of a Burlington fifthgrader. In fact, he adds, the Scouts’ policies have given him a good opportunity to teach his kids a moral lesson. “I’m not gay, so they’re not picking on me,” Loeb points out. “But that’s not the point. They’re picking on somebody.” (Z)

B y Lynda M ajarian athaniel Lachenmeyers The Outsider: A Journey Into M y Father’s Struggle With Madness should have come with a w arning label: Read it, and you’ll never again look at a troubled vagrant w ithout a pang o f empathy. Lachenmeyers father, Charles, spent the last three years o f his life panhandling, chain-smoking and m uttering to him self on the streets o f Burlington. O nce a bril liant college professor, he died o f heart failure, utterly alone in a rundow n C hurch Street apartm ent in January 1995. He was 51. After his death the younger Lachenmeyer, then a 25-year-old cartoon ist living in New York City, set out to

piece together the fragments o f this tragic life. Since he had been estranged from his father for six years, Lachenmeyer began by com bing through psychiatric records and court transcripts. He visited the places his father had lived to interview former col leagues, mental health workers and virtual ly anyone he could find who had ever interacted with Charles. Those interviews were first recorded in a documentary film, The Transient. Two years later Lachenmeyer completed The Outsider — an unsentimental, compelling work of nonfiction that not only chronicles one man’s harrowing descent into schizophre nia, but also illuminates a devastating mental illness that afflicts nearly 2.5 mil lion Americans and 1 percent of the w orld’s population.

Although he has been writing plays and fiction since college, The Outsider is Lachenmeyers first published book. Now 30, married and still living in New York, he says he wanted to present an objective portrait of his father, with the good and the bad reported unflinchingly, and to show how the same tragedies could befall anyone. Overall, he succeeds. He weaves a portrait of Charles Lachenmeyer in a chronological, reportorial style, often referring to him in the third person, and backs up most of his conclusions with solid evidence. Schizophrenia usually manifests in its victims during adolescence or young adulthood, but the onset in Charles did not become obvious until 1978, when he was a 35-year-old professor of sociology, a

loving husband and father living com fort ably in a New York suburb. Lachenmeyer traces a possible genetic predisposition for schizophrenia to Charles’ mother, an unfeeling and suspicious woman whose fanatical devotion to Christian Science, Lachenmeyer believes, veiled her eccentric ities from the outside world. He blames the religion’s main tenets — that the material world does not exist independent o f our own perception of it, and that our perception is a false belief — for bewilder ing young Charles and causing him to mistrust his own interpretations of reality. Charles grew up to be a loner who loved nature and habitually adopted stray dogs, never socially adept but remembered by professors and peers as being exception ally bright. W hile studying for his doctoral

degree in sociology at the University of N orth Carolina, he published two books and several journal articles and worked in a mental institution. Both that job and his chosen field o f study, his son posits, offered Charles an ideal venue to investi gate closely held fears about his own sani tyUntil Lachenmeyer was nine, he knew his father only as “a great parent, a w on derful source o f encouragem ent and fun,” he writes. Gradually, his father “became distant, anxious, hostile, although never directly toward m e.” Charles was drinking heavily on the sly, and his paranoia ulti mately alienated his colleagues and cost him his teaching post. Accusations that his wife was conspiring against him with the FBI and CIA to “enslave his m ind” led to a 1981 divorce. Furious at losing his home, job and family, Charles regularly left obscene, angry rants on his ex-wife’s answering machine — messages that terri fied his once-adoring son. After his parents divorced, Lachenmeyer would see his father only two more times — on his 14th birthday, when Charles tried desperately to act like a normal father for a few hours, and about eight years before he died, when Lachenmeyer observed him from a dis tance w ithout initiating contact. But father and son did correspond fairly regu larly over the years. Charles’ letters, while sometimes cogent, included what Lachenmeyer calls “delusional newsletters” detailing a grand governm ent conspiracy that, according to Charles, had enlisted the general U.S. population as agents to control his thoughts and actions. As a boy, Lachenmeyer pored over each o f the 30- to 40-page tracts, searching for clues that would help unravel the eerie

enigma his lather had become. “I knew by that point that my father’s deterioration was the result, not simply of alcoholism, but o f mental illness,” Lachenmeyer writes. “I became obsessed with under standing what was happening to him. I needed to understand how my father — fellow adventurer, collaborator on all my big plans, the man whom I most wanted to be like when I grew up — had been transformed into the person I was most afraid o f in the w orld.” As an adult investigating his father’s life, Lachenmeyer confesses, “I am ashamed to adm it that one of my greatest fears was that I would uncover evidence that he had killed someone.” Citing statis tics that reveal most schizophrenics to be nonviolent, Lachenmeyer was reassured to discover that Charles com m itted only one violent act — breaking an elderly woman’s nose because he suspected her o f being a CIA agent. T hat assault landed him in a New Flampshire state mental hospital — the first o f three involuntary com m it ments. Like many schizophrenics, Charles steadfastly refused to believe he was men tally ill and, in a crazy catch-22, refused to take anti-psychotic drugs. W hen he was forced or coerced to try medication, though, the hallucinations, delusions and paranoia disappeared. D uring his saner periods Charles wrote coherent letters to his son about his dili gent search for a teaching job, or any job, and his hopes to resume a normal life. But invariably, unpleasant side-effects and Charles’ unshakable faith in his sanity would prom pt him to throw out the pill bottles. He would again disappear into his hellish private world, relying on pension and disability checks to finance his food,

housing and newsletters. These were mailed to friends, family and the public at large — including kindred paranoiacs'who actually ordered subscriptions. By 1989, Lachenmeyer had had enough. A college student with his own problems, he had become so overwhelmed and emotionally drained by his father’s bizarre beliefs that he broke off all contact, writing him, “I can’t live in your world, and you can’t live in m ine.” Lachenmeyer

Street Marketplace for three years. There he was well known to local law enforce m ent and business owners for panhan dling, stealing and sleeping in ATM lob bies. Lachenmeyer harbors no fondness for Burlington, which he describes as “Colonial W illiam sburg transplanted to Vermont: an elaborate stage set construct ed to look like a modest, late 20th-century city.” Local institutions don’t fare well

“ I needed to understand how my r father — the man whom I most wanted to be like when U d M V l H i W — had been transformed into the person I was most afraid of in tne i world.” Nathaniel Lachenmeyer didn’t know much about his father’s world, it turned out — only while researching his book did he discover that Charles had been repeatedly hospitalized and often lived on the streets. Lachenmeyer also didn’t know that his father had fled to Vermont in 1992 to escape New Hampshire authorities, or — except for the 11 m onths he spent at the Vermont State Hospital in W aterbury — that Charles was a fixture on the Church

under his pen. T he Burlington Way Station turned Charles out after he infest ed the building w ith lice.

patient security guard at a local bank. Despite his fathers hardships, loneliness and diminished capacities, Lachenmeyer offers evidence that Charles always retained a sense of dignity and hopefulness. “This is a heroic story,” Lachenmeyer vows. “W ith everything he faced in his life, he could have been a son of a bitch, but he wasn’t,” The Outsider \s clearly his father’s requiem, which may be why Lachenmeyer perfunctorily dismisses any discussion — public Or private — about his odds of inheriting the family head problems, and is stingy with details about himself. More personal reflection might have enhanced, the book, but he finds subtle ways to co'nvey the fear, loss, sadness and shame his father’s illness evoked. He chides himself for failing to comfort and help Charles, for

Odd Man Out Continued from page 13 Lachenmeyer pay him several hundred dollars for damage caused by “leakage” from the decom posing body — a claim unsupported by Burlington police officers. In retaliation, the landlord threw out Charles’ meager belongings, including his personal journal. “I would have given any thing to read that journal,” Lachenmeyer sadly recalls. But there were also kindnesses — the female student w ho worked at Subway and gave Charles com plim entary coffee every night, until her boss caught him stealing potato chips and threw him out; the young man who gave Charles cigarettes and lis tened politely to his absurd theories; the

instance, although assistance — other than money — would probably have been rebuffed. W hen a psychiatrist tells Lachenmeyer that he had been his father’s only source of hope and connection, he asks him to repeat the words over and over again, “so I could not rationalize them away later.” Hearing those words, he writes, “I understood exactly how alone my father was, and my role in his increasing sense of isolation.” The only false note in The Outsider rings through the last few chapters, when Lachenmeyer comes dangerously close to romanticizing his father. Everyone who encountered Charles, it seems — from police officers and judges to fellow tran sients — glowingly describes him as extraordinary and unforgettable. Also

( iiilr ir e n 's

inconsistent with Lachenmeyer’s journalis tic style is his overplaying a memory of being friglitened by a mentally ill transient —-'one remarkably similar to what his father would become — in 1978. Lachenmeyer was nine, his father was still his hero and the incident, Lachenmeyer believes, was “a warning” of what was to come. He is far more successful with another recurring image, an echo of the father he still mourns. Over and over again, Lachenmeyer returns to a letter Charles wrote to him on the occasion of his 17th birthday. “No m atter how adverse the cir cumstances,” his father wrote, “and mine have been adverse, there is never any rea son to give up.” In his son’s opinion, Charles Lachenmeyer never did. ®

A flatlander cuts loose — with his very own chainsaw By R obert K iener couldn’t put if off any longer. Since I had bought my hom e with 15 mostly wooded acres on the edge o f Stowe, I knew the day would come when I ’d have to break down and buy a chainsaw. Trees have a habit o f snapping in two during storms and blocking my driveway. And then there were those cords o f firewood that I planned to cut and neatly stack. Judging by the near-constant drone o f chainsaws in this part o f Vermont, I was the only adult male w ithin earshot w ithout a Husqvarna or a Stihl. Trouble was, I’d never used a chainsaw, much less owned one. More to the point, the things looked terri fying. I did a bit o f research. And it didn’t take long to confirm that my initial take on chainsaws was right on the mark. Take “kickback” — a somewhat innocuoussounding term for what a chain saw can do to its new, inexperi enced owner. “There is no w arn ing. T he force is trem endous, the speed is blinding, and there is no time to react,” writes Dave Johnson in The Good Woodcutter’s Guide. “T he whole thing is over in less than a second.” Johnson, an experienced log ger, seems to enjoy putting the fear o f G od into prospective chainsaw owners. At least his

methods worked with me. Here’s the rest o f his take on kickback: “If the victim does recover his senses, his first instinct is to push the saw away. This often causes him to squeeze the handle, thus depressing the throttle and revving the saw. Some unfortu nate souls actually have gutted themselves as the saw is pulled down through their chest and stom ach.” Gutted themselves. O uch. I just wanted to cut a few trees and impress my brother when he vis its from Pittsburgh. “C ut it myself. W ith my chainsaw,” I’d say casually — with any luck referring to a pile of neatly stacked logs, not my sternum. I put down Johnson and went to the Internet. After deleting several hundred references to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I logged on to a site that seemed w ritten by a Johnson clone. “W arning,” it trum peted, “the attached photograph is extremely graphic.” Naturally, I opened it immediately. It was a picture o f a dismal-looking logger with a God-awful bloody gash running across his neck and upper chest. “This young logger,” the caption explained, “nearly cut his jugular vein when his chainsaw kicked back.” Yikes. Apparently, this poor soul wasn’t alone; there are thousands of chainsaw accidents every year

in the U.S. In Sweden, I learned, no one can purchase a chainsaw w ithout a license, which requires a training course. Makes sense. But here, any dum m y can march into the nearest H om e Depot and buy one o f these obviously lethal weapons. , Sib I did. Not just any old chainsaw, mind you. A Husqvarna — or, to those in the know, a “Husky.” According to my dealer, these Swedish-made saws are “the Rolls Royces of chainsaws.” More expensive than the American brands, they boast a slew of safe ty features designed to prevent us new loggers from, well, gutting ourselves. I quickly realized that, no matter how superior my chain saw or how many books I read on felling and limbing trees, I needed help. But like most males — the species that never, ever asks for directions when lost — I was reluctant to seek it out. Until the day I decided to show off my nascent felling prowess to my girlfriend. Since she was still con vinced that it was only a matter o f time before I filleted my upper thigh, I decided to put on for her what we loggers call a “felling dem onstration.” I choose a once-stately birch that had split in two during a recent storm. “I’m going to fell it so it falls just to the left of that

LOGGING ON Another sawyer joins the chain gang.

path,” I said in a confident voice. “So stand over here behind m e.” Real loggers will already be snickering at my first mistake. Is it “never stand directly behind a falling tree”? Yes, but more importantly, “never show off in front o f your wife or girlfriend.” I notched the tree at a 45degree angle using the open-face felling method (as per Johnson) and finished my back cut (not exactly as per Johnson). T he tree began to fall — exactly the oppo site way it should have, toward me and my girlfriend. After that embarrassing dis play I prom ptly signed up for my first course in “chainsaw col lege,” a logging instructional and safety program run by pro

fessional Verm ont woodsm en. Three more courses to go before I “graduate.” T h e trees I cut now generally fall where I w ant them to. I’ve learned how to avoid kickback, and no longer get my saw stuck into the tree as I cut it. Nevertheless, I am still just a tiny bit terrified every time I start up that Husky. Chains on today’s saws turn between 13,000 and 15,000 rpm. T h a t’s 40 to 50 miles an hour. As Dave Johnson writes, “Saws can’t distinguish between wood and m eat.” I keep that in m ind whenever I pull the starter cord. And I assure myself that, when it comes to running a chainsaw, a little terror is a good thing. ®

’m not sure why I took a job working with violent men.

My personal experience with violence was limited to a single spanking at age six, some random scuffles with my sister, and one fist fight in the fifth grade, in which 1 accidentally punched an on-looker. My m other went to great lengths to shelter my sister and me from violence. In an attem pt to limit our exposure, she turned the T V channel knob to 13 — the local PBS station — then ripped it off and threw it away. I was in first grade before I learned there were actually other stations. Toy guns were out o f the question, too. I remember being mortified one summer when my mother sent me out to a neigh borhood water fight armed with a rinsed-out W index bottle. She always said there was never a need to use violence. She taught me about Gandhi, M artin Luther King, Nelson Mandela. And she told me emphatically, if I was ever in a relationship w ith a man who used violence, even once, I was to leave immediately and never look back. I guess I do know why I took that job, really: I wanted to do something about violence. Domestic homicide is the num ber-one cause o f violent death in Vermont — read: mostly women. I had begun to volunteer for W omen Helping Battered W omen, answering the hotline, but soon found it frustrating. W H B W ’s philosophy is based on empowering women, giving them the information they need to make decisions about their situa tions. But domestic violence involves, and results in, uniquely complex situations, and the majority of homicides happen when women decide to leave their abusive partners. O nly the woman, who knows her partner and her situation, can judge what is safe for her.

As a hotline worker, my job was not to advise but to provide “options counseling,” informing women of their legal and logisti cal options. No more, no less. W hile I embraced this philosophy and adhered to it w ithout fail, 1 found it difficult to square with mom’s voice in my head: Leave immediately and never look back. Just as I was beginning to get discouraged about actually pre venting the violence, I heard about a 27-week education pro gram mandated to all domestic offenders in Chittenden County. W H B W works in conjunction with the groups -— usually seven to 10 men — as part of a com m unity task force. Volunteers are encouraged to observe a group, so that we can answer questions women might have about it. So one M onday night, I went to watch. I showed up a little early to talk to the facilitators, to prep a little before the group started. N othing could have pre pared me, though, for what I was about to witness. The memory of that evening remains vivid in my m ind, how my emotions and thoughts metamorphosed over those two hours. T he men filed into the class room and seated themselves in a semi-circle. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was surprised by how terrified I felt. I was sitting in a room with 10 men convicted o f domestic assault. W hat if I said the wrong thing? W hat if I made one of them mad? My breath quickened. I mentally mapped the most direct route to the door, in case I had to make a run for it. My anxiety gradually eased, though, as the men began to talk. Shifting awkwardly in their chairs, they stated their first names and recounted the violent incidents which led to their arrests. As they spoke, I began to feel horror, then anger. How could they? How could anyone do these things to someone they sup posedly loved? Fortunately, I was able to shift

out of my judgmental inner dia logue and actually pay attention to what was going on. I watched and really listened ro each man as he told his story. Their discom fort was visible. Men can begin the program at any point in the curriculum, so each group has members who have been there from one to 27 weeks. Ir was obvious who was new and who was “seasoned.” Many of the new guys strug gled with accountability: “I was drunk.” “She was hitting me.” “She had an affair.” Men who had been there a while challenged the newcomers to examine their role in what had transpired. Ir soon became clear that I couldn’t generalize about these men. Each of them had a unique view of violence, of their own past, the decisions they made that brought them to the group, and of the group itself. I began to see them not as a group of anony mous batterers but as 10 individ ual men who chose to use vio lence. Ten men who could, in the future, choose to not use violence. By the end of that evening’s group, I found mysell asking the facilitators for a job. As it turned out, they were hiring. T hat was almost a year ago. After all the groups ol men I’ve facilitated since, I know that the most im portant thing I can teach men about violence is that it’s a choice. Men must first become accountable lor their actions and then examine the beliefs and intents that motivate them. One of the most interesting aspects of the curriculum is the part that asks men to consider what it means to “act like a m an.” They generally respond with a list of adjectives, phrases and exam ples o f what they were taught all their lives: Be tough, be in con trol, show no emotion, look like a man, drink excessively, fight, defend your honor, never cry, have lots of sex — with women. Do these things and you’re in; don’t and you’re a fag, queer,

pussy or pansy. I draw an imagi nary box around this list, and we discuss what being, and the stressful vigilance required to stay there. I have to adm it the group doesn’t always provide the great sense o f accom plishm ent I had hoped for. Sometimes men fail “outside” and have to do the program again. Some men are clearly bullshitting just to get through it. How many are fool ing us completely, I have no idea. It is nearly impossible to quantify the program ’s success. Violence is deeply em bedded in the culture. Kids on the play ground, fathers, brothers, friends, the media — all con spire to encourage boys and men to be violent. We have only 27 weeks to try to change behavior entrenched over a life time. Additionally, m any o f these men were victims o f abuse and violence in their childhood and are perpetuating the cycle. A nother way I try to get men to question their beliefs about violence is to help them exam ine the language they use. A couple of m onths back, I was struggling w ith a guy in the group who always seemed to slide some m inim izing excuse into his otherwise accountable “check-in” — “I flew off the handle.” “I lost it.” “I just snapped.” Every single T hursday night, I challenged “Roger” to hear his choice o f words, and how these state ments took away his power to choose his actions. H e always told me that wasn’t how he m eant it, that it was “just an expression.” O ne evening, I w ent so far as to give a little dissertation on George O rw ell’s invented lan guage, Newspeak, from his novel 1984: To control th o u g h t Big Brother took the English

As I pro gressed, things started tying in together. 1 felt positive.” Brian acknowledges — and I believe he means it — that he now knows violence isn’t right. “Since I ’ve been through it, lots o f things stand out to m e,” he says o f the group experience. “Violence is never a so lu tio n .” I’m grateful for the insights I ’ve gained from men like Brian.

Luck Be a Laptop A South Burlington therapist analyzes the lure of virtual relationships

By Flip B rown wenty years ago, a guy could get fired for looking at porn on the job, but it required some effort. He had to find, and buy, the right magazine, hide it in the briefcase hoping the wife wouldn’t find it, then accidentally leave it on the desk at work, where the boss would. Today, getting in trouble is so much simpler: A few clicks of the mouse can land a guy in the unem ployment line, if not in jail. If technology has put trouble at our fingertips, it’s also facilitated getting hooked. Thanks to the Internet, access to addictive “substances” — pornography, chat rooms, day-trading sites — is easier than signing your name. “Internet addiction” is more than a buzz phrase; therapists are increasingly see ing clients with the problem, and are treat ing it similarly to other addictive behav iors. The vast majority of those clients are men. An article in the April 2000 issue of American Psychologist, reporting on research and treatm ent efforts of on-line addictions, describes one o f the largest surveys to date: O f more than 17,000 subjects, approxi mately 6 percent met criteria for a com pul sive Internet use pattern. Seventy-one per cent of these were male, 82 percent were Caucasian and 87 percent were college-educated. T he average age was 33. In another study, 224 m id T? sized companies were asked about inappropriate com puter use by their employees. Sixty percent of the managers reported that they had disciplined employees for on-line mis use, and 30 percent had fired people for such behavior. N o gender specifics were reported. A nother study o f 1300 college students revealed that, o f the 103 students found to have a problem o f “Internet dependence,” 91 were male. Some researchers believe that women and men may have the same prevalence of on-line misuse, after men’s higher overall

Web usage is accounted for. However, there are gender differences in preferred sites: W omen tend to access chat rooms and shopping sites, while men are more drawn to pornography and day trading. So are men more susceptible to destructive on-line addictions? South Burlington psychologist Tyler Gould, 45, thinks so. Like a growing num ber of mental health professionals, he’s considering the implications of this new influence on behavior and relation ships as he sees more men crossing an invisible line into “Web abuse” — about half a dozen clients at any given time. Gould brings appropriate experience to the challenge. After a stint on the grit tier streets o f New Jersey working with heroin addicts, he became the director of a Burlington-area intensive outpatient substance-abuse clinic. Until managed care intervened, he presided over a pro gram that provided 100 hours per partici pant of group therapy for alcohol, cocaine and marijuana problems. Now in private practice, he’s tackling abuses of a very different “substance,” and believes adamantly that out-of-control Internet usage meets the criteria for addic tion. “Let’s start with the premise that any body who is doing a repeated pattern with

Chat rooms, pornography and day trading are the three main areas of Internet abuse Gould has seen in his clients. He describes the chat room phenomenon as “people who are seeking intimate relation ships w ithout com m it ment or respon sibility. In other words, you’re getting high off of relationships that don’t involve you taking any chance or any risk or responsibility.” Gould is concerned about this because, he says, the chat room participant is learn ing to escape into fantasy relationships instead of learning to create and sustain real ones. Then, he adds, the avoidance continues as “the people who tend to have weaker social skills and interpersonal skills

“ On-line pom really is chicken-shit safe sex, ecause you can’t get rejected.” — South Burlington psychologist Tyler Gou h negative consequences and can’t stop them selves in spite of those consequences has an addiction,” he says. He acknowledges, though, one major difference between tak ing drugs and compulsively sitting in front of a com puter monitor. “At least with addiction to alcohol or heroin, you’ve got the physiological effects to knock you on your ass and get your attention now and then,” Gould notes wryly.

can find a huge am ount of com fort hiding in these chat rooms.’ As for on-line porn, “It’s gotten really bad, enough so that these men have lost jobs and given up families,” G ould reports. “It can be incredibly destructive.” He has a theory about the driving force behind repeated accessing o f pornographic images: “It’s the search for the transformational object; it’s the hope that there’s going to be something out there to change who they are,” he says. English translation? G ould gives an example o f “transform ational object” as he tells about a client w ho was “in love” w ith a famous movie star. T h e therapist kept pushing the client’s fantasy, goading him to consider w hat would happen if it actu ally materialized. T he client’s chain of thinking turned out to be this: If the actress fell for him , he would then get to go to Hollywood, where everyone would

see that he was desirable, all the other women would w ant him, and he would be immensely popular. T hat client didn’t love the movie star for who she is, in short, but for the imagined changes that her acknowledgment would bring to his sense o f selfworth. Fantasy relationships via chat rooms or pornography are equally self-delusional. “O n-line porn really is chick en-shit safe sex,” Gould asserts, “because you can’t get rejected. So many men are so afraid o f that rejection, or that loss, especially if they’ve had lots o f traumatic experiences internally.” Avoiding real intimacy through an Internet “relationship” is appealing to some men, because “you don’t really know the person, all you know is your own fantasy o f who they are and what they are, which gives you a tremendous am ount of control,” Gould explains. “T he problem is that ultimately it’s terribly unsat isfying.” For other men, the adrena line o f the on-line stock market is far more addictive — and pos sibly even more destructive. “T h a t’s a huge problem ,” Gould confirms. “I ’m seeing lots o f guys right now who have become obsessed w ith day trad ing.” H e believes the root cause is the same as for porn or chat room addiction. “Again, it’s that pursuit o f the transformational

object: If they get rich enough or powerful enough, they’re going to be okay; there’s going to be freedom from anxiety,” Gould says. “They get involved in making.a couple o f quick trades and make some money, then they’re hooked.” H e has worked w ith clients w ho get up in the middle o f the night to check the international markets, who blow off family responsibilities in order to m on itor stocks, who spend an inor dinate am ount o f time on the job pretending to be working when in fact they’re buying and selling. “It’s such a fascinating process,” Gould says, “where the very act of doing this helps you escape — you’re no longer into yourself, and the high is incredi ble.” He compares it to a work addiction, in which “you have a sense o f mastery, a sense of self, a sense o f what you’re doing because you’re working, and it’s culturally sanctioned. You can escape into the day-trading thing the same way.” W ithout the sanc tions, o f course. Gould believes that individu als can work through Internetrelated issues just like other addictions. The key is to confront the inner dynamics that are driv ing the isolation, the fear of inti macy and the acting-out behav iors. O n a larger scale, Gould is somewhat pessimistic. “Culturally, we’re becoming more and more isolated and we’re avoiding the losses o f life, the risks of life,” he laments. “W hat

we want is attachment without risk. Basically what that means is, we don’t w ant to give, we just want to take, and that’s the pri mary narcissism that underlies all o f this stuff.” Gould bemoans the loss o f community that once facilitated — no, necessitated— real human intimacy. “People used to have relationships where you dealt with loss and you dealt with embarrassment, because you weren’t always perfect. Now we want all these perfect objects’ out there to fill us up.” W hile women are not immune to the negative aspects of the net, men may be more vulnerable because o f their propensity for high-tech toys and their reduced options for emo tional openness. Most of the Internet-addicted men Gould works with seem to be dealing with a kind o f inner conflict that is temporarily assuaged — but ultimately exacerbated — by the temptations of the Internet. The answer, though it may be challenging and frightening for the virtual-inclined, is simple: Turn off the computer, and con nect with the real world. ®

feel to be Queen of Kerrville? Just ask Patti Casey. The 37-year-old Vermont singer-songwriter — on the heels of releasing her masterful Under Different Skies CD — recently won the prestigious Texas competition. About 60 miles northwest of San Antonio, in the hill section of the otherwise flat-asa-pancake state, the Kerrville Folk Festival carries on for 18 days, is attended by some 10,000 music lovers, and receives around 600 entries from wannabe contestants, which the jury whittles down to 32 finalists. The festival, whose slogan is “celebrating songwriters,” Casey notes, has previously helped launch such talents as Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett. Needless to say, this Vergennes-born song writer, who found out she won on May 28, is still in a bit of shock — she’s just happy to even have played Kerrville. “The festival is huge, like a village,” she says. “It’s jam-packed, and people play all night long around the campfires. It’s also hotter than hell,” she adds, “around 100.” Did I mention Casey is seven-and-a-half months pregnant? “I looked like a grape

with legs,” she jokes. “But my experience was wonderful.” When it came her turn to play on the Main Stage, though, Casey appar ently brought her home-state weather for accompaniment: “The gates of heaven opened,” she says. “It poured. But they waited half an hour and put me back on. The [audience] was nice and clean.” Casey is skeptical about what her win will do for her career — she’s nothing if not independent. “Maybe if someone comes along with a recording contract and offers me complete artistic con trol...” she muses. Just the same, Casey, who works days for Rounder Kids, a wholesaler of children’s CDs and videos, fanta sizes about doing music full-time someday. Kerrville can’t hurt. Under different skies, indeed. Congrats. A LITTLE MORNING MUSIC

THAT’S ALL FOLK Singer-song writer Josh Silb erstein , a.k.a. MagiS, just wants a little insurrec tion. A Folk Insurrection, that is. That’s what he’s calling the Vermont singer-songwriter show case he’s planning to put on once a month or so. All he needs is per formers. If that’s your thing and you’d like, as Silberstein puts it, to “share your hard work with the public,” send a bio, photo and CD or tape to FOB 8523, Burlington, VT 05402. Hmmm, sounds like closet crooners should apply.

not be a day o f rest, but after brunch at 135 Pearl and a jaunts around the corner to Borders, you can laze around for the rest of it if you really want to. The morning meal at Pearl’s will benefit Pride — which Lady Zeno has been doing for months now on Tuesday nights with drag bingo, and surely has helped make this year’s Vermont Pride festivities the biggest and best yet (see spotlight). Then at Borders, all day long, you can ben efit the Vermont Youth Orchestra when you buy their CD. Some body’s got to keep classical music alive.

who produces and hosts the show, is optimistic that his conservative station owners will see how sweet it is for viewers to greet the day with a spot of music. Most of the response has been positive, he says. The TV ratings just came out, too, but he doesn’t know yet how his mini-program fared. “Some people probably turn us off to watch Katie Couric on The Today Show,”’ he concedes. “We’re trying to offer something different, and it’s all local. I hope people will tune in.” So far Byrnes, a 24-yearold UVM grad, has personally invited guests to his show, but he won’t object too much if bands contact him. Just keep in mind the show’s strictly unplugged. Call him at WCAX, 632-6388.

little reggae lite — a favorite feel for the Prof, appar ently, and one that suits the sunny disposition of bis electric violin. That feel is stepped up a notch in “Without a Spark,” but Miller plummets into an illconceived, sinister rap thing for the title track — an unnatural fit if ever there was one, even though the spooky, minimalist noises behind it are intriguing. From there he proceeds without pause into, arguably, the lowest point in this collection: “Internal Soul” is a mid-tempo rocker with many layers of busy instru mentation, all compressed behind out-front, doubled vocals that give us a truly awful, escalating chorus line, “That’s the time to dig a little deeper into your internal soul.” Very ouch, baby. It’s a relief to segue into a genuinely pretty composition, “Fern,” which features a gentle patter of rain and a new-agey grand piano (by Tracy Wolters) and violin duet, in a dreamy production. Miller almost ruins it when he adds vocal lines of pure eco-sap — though I have to admit the sentiment, “Find the time to listen and to be,” is warranted. “Fern” is one of the album’s high lights, and offers some of Miller’s most evocative playing. Several songs after this again present good feels dragged down by heavy-handed lyrics: “Good Seed,” for example, is a cool, minimalist percussiondriven thing that lyrically belongs in Jesus Christ Superstar, the sturdy jazz-pop of “Shady Specs” bows to preachiness; and “Simplify Your Life” simply crumbles beneath its own weight, even though, iron ically, it’s one of the simplest melodies here. For very different reasons than “Fern,” the final two songs on Normally Demented work just fine; listeners who get this far may agree that Miller is on much firmer footing with the lively, orchestral swing of “Blues Away” — you can imagine Fred Astaire clicketyclacking in the background — and on the closer, “Darlin’ Blues.” The latter has mid-tempo, walking blues pacing and some fine slide guitar from produc er Horace Williams, who also contributes other instrumentation throughout and recorded the disc at his Little Castle Studio in Starksboro. I can only sug gest that the Professor study up on why these triedand-true formats work — more swing, for instance, might mean a better thing, in the end. — Pamela Polston

O n June 22, 1984, in a raid that in some ways resembled the one in Waco, Vermont State Troopers took 112 children from their communal home in Island Pond after former members alleged abuse.

B y Jeanne K eller t’s usually us Yanks who play fast and loose with the English language. In the past 29 years, it seems, we’ve special ized in turning nouns into verbs, as in “I’m going to network at the seminar tom orrow.” And how many o f us “access our email,” oblivious to the way that medium has massaged our vocab ularies? For once, the C om m on wealth countries have lapped the States with a new verb, and most o f us don’t even know it’s hap pened. I learned about it when I picked up a M ontreal weekly and read: “Are you ready to Fringe?”

How fitting that this linguis tic play introduced me to a worldwide theatrical phenom e non: the Fringe Festivals. The first Fringers were theatrical com panies protesting their exclusion from the traditional Edinburgh International Festival in 1947. As their Web site explains, eight uninvited theater groups arrived in Edinburgh to participate in this im portant post-war cultural event. “Determ ined to perform despite not being part of the offi cial programme, they checked in at venues away from the big, public stages. T he Fringe was born. There was no central box office, no Fringe programme, no publicity — the interlopers just

appeared, used small and uncon ventional theater spaces, and took all their own financial risks, flourishing or failing according to public dem and.” H alf a century later, this radical concept has spread throughout the English-speak ing rem nants of the C om m onw ealth and, while still not m ainstream, the Fringe at least now has programs and box offices. From Sydney to H ong Kong and back to Edinburgh and D ublin, thespians and their followers are Fringing their brains out. Still w ithout an organizing com m ittee, the affili ated pack o f prom oters and pre senters has become, collectively,

Winning ‘Losers’ t takes a troupe o f Vermonters to play tribute to M ontreal’s most noteworthy musician. Beautiful Losers, an adaptation o f poet-musi cian Leonard C ohen’s “masterful linguistic trick of a.jtfj&vel,’’ is the work o f the Brattleboro-based Laboratory for Enthusiastic Collaboration. Their performance already won over the hometown audience at “M ontreal 2000:’T he Leonard Cohen Event,” where C ohen’s sister calle dthe play “H erculean.” Together for four years, the laboratory describes itself as “an ongoing nomadic theatrical experim ent.” W hile based in Marlboro, the mem bers individually and as a troupe have traveled worldwide working on collaborations. Director Aaron Kahn and actor-writer Ira S. M urfin called from M ontreal on the eve of their Fringe appear ance to talk about the play. Consistent with the way they work, the two spoke virtually on top of each other, so their com m ents are attributed to the ensemble.

Seven Days: W ill this be your first Montreal Fringe appearance1 LEC: Yes, it’s our first at any Fringe. We’ve been thinking about doing Beautiful Losers for six years. I went to the Fringe for the first time last year in M ontreal, a n d ...I saw it as a great opportunity to bring a M ontreal story to the city. SD: W hat drew you to Cohens Beautiful Losers? LEC: T he novel does things very few fiction nov els even try to. It is a shockingly masterful piece of writing, sublime and pornographic. It is truly on the level o f the other great Beat writers, of Joyce, Nabokov, Pynchon. It fits our ensemble, which uses the Chicago-theater style. Several people take the piece and make their own version o f it. Actors must be as moldable as the language of a novel. / We can invent, take away or narrate characters into existence. We use m inim um set, props and

costume. O ur work is based on language, actors become the language, the set and props. Beautiful Losers is really dense, brilliant and difficult. It attem pts.. .to show how the smallest things connect to everything else in the universe. By constantly blurring boundaries between char acters and time, it literalizes how people’s worlds break up. It’s a theme of Cohen’s, that people’s lives are broken before they see the light. SD: What are you trying to accomplish with your adaptation? LEC: We want to take the audience on the trip the book took us on during the period in our lives when we discovered it, but in a short evening. The hard part is stripping it down to the bare minimum. The first reading we did took six hours... The Fringe enforces a strict one-hour limit, and last week we made the final am puta tions. It was very, very painful. SD: Do you see the North American Fringe circuit as a promising outlet for your work? LEC: This production — the third incarnation — has been entirely self-produced by the ensemble members since September, when we started work ing on the adaptation while on a trip to the desert in Arizona. Because of the way the Fringe works, this run in Montreal is one we could make on our own — w ithout media costs, overhead and shar ing revenue with promoters. We’ve lived, breathed and slept this show, and begged, borrowed and stolen to make it happen. But the Montreal per formance is probably the last time. - J .K . Beautiful Losers will be performed at MAI, 3 6 8 0 Jeanne-Mance, on June 15 at 1:15 p.m., June 16 at 12:15 a.m. and June 17 at 7 p.m. For reser vations, call 514-790-1245 or check www.admis sion. com.

a few days in Maine. Time for a traditional Vermont husband and his traditional Vermont wife to decide about returning for one more two-year stretch on the front lines in Montpeculiar. Final answer? Sen. Mazza told Seven Days Monday that he will stand for reelection in November. The Democrat Party is breathing a sigh of relief. And a lot of voters will remember in November when they choose their senator. The ones in the Grand Isle/Colchester district will remember a decent, fair-mind ed grocer who stepped up to the plate and did what’s fair and just, despite the roar of an angry mob. D3 Fix Was In — The news broke Friday afternoon as Champlain College President Roger Perry and lawyer Peter Collins, chair of the trustees, announced the board had just voted to end what remains of the school intercollegiate athletic program. Bye-bye, Beavers! The college boldly packaged the announcement like a victory cele bration. The spin had it that Champlain had just become the first in the nation to create a “mul tifaceted,” new age fitness/athletic extracurricular program for all its students. True out-of-the-box visionaries! Can Notre Dame be fir behind? However, Seven Days has learned, despite the feigned drama, it was a done deal well before Friday’s trustee vote. Athletic Director Sue Rand was contacted Monday by a reporter for the Wall Street Journal. Nice chap. Former Rutland Herald scribe by the name of James Bandler. He already had a copy of the press release the school would release to the locals four days later. Seems the school tried to generate positive national press by giving the WSJ a headsup. The Journal did not run a story. Nice try. Election 2000 — Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Jan BackUS scored some points in the past week. Jan of Arc got in some good licks Monday on the incumbent, Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords, on the issue of a patient’s bill of rights. And she turned in a sharp performance Sunday on Ch. 3’s “You Can Quote Me.” Backus smoothly parried Marselis Parsons’ question about the snafu late in the 1994 campaign over her position on legalizing drugs. Backus calmly informed Marsillyiss she hadn’t changed her position one bit — she still doesn’t think individual users should go to jail. It’s an “addiction” problem, she said, and should be treated as such. In 2000, that’s a position a lot clos er to the mainstream. Backus also scored with a chal lenge to her financially well-heeled opponents, Jeezum Jim and Democrat Ed Flanagan, to forego TV commercials. “We’re candi dates,” said Backus, “not cans of soda.” Good line. And while Backus may be far behind in the fundraising arena, it appears the Jeffords campaign is paying close attention. On Friday, according to her campaign manag-

er Scott Goldstein, the headquar ters got a call from a young man who wanted to know Jan’s upcom ing public appearance schedule. Goldstein told Seven Days he told the caller he’d be happy to give that out, but he asked for identification. The caller told him he was “a college student.” When Goldstein requested a name, the caller hung up. Goldstein hit star-69. The number that came back was 229-0000. He dialed it up. “Hello, Jeffords 2000,” said the voice on the other end. Interesting. Goldstein said the incident reflected “pretty stupid, petty and immature tactics for a candidate with $1.6 million in the bank.” Jeffords’ campaign manager Bill KlirtZ admitted the call to the Backus camp had been made by a Jeffords campaign “intern.” Got to watch those interns, right, Mr. President? Kurtz also said the Jeffords campaign had sent some one to attend Backus’ Monday press conference blasting Jeezum Jim for hypocrisy on health care. Good move. You just don’t want to take Jan Backus lightly. We’ve watched her in action for years, and trust me — don’t let the soft voice and gentle manner fool you. Jan of Arc is one tough cook ie.

Ho-Ho in Packer Country! —

Speaking of public appearance schedules, Gov. Howard Dean’s trip to Wisconsin Friday was noticeably omitted from his weekly public schedule. Ho-Ho was one of the official cheerleaders invited to the state Democratic Convention in Green Bay, Wisconsin, along with Sen. John Kerry, Rep. Barney Frank (he sure gets around) and Energy Secretary Bill Richardson. “Our party is what America is about,” bellowed Dean to the party faithful. “The other party will drive this nation to failure,” declared Vermont’s governor. According to the Green Bay Post Gazette, Dean’s speech was “at times drowned out by applause.” Ho-Ho’s oratorical skills have developed slowly, but they have developed. He learned a whole lot from watching Bernie Sanders perform. Volume counts. It gets people’s attention. “I may be a ‘passionate cen trist,”’ Dr. Dean told us Monday, “but I do have passion about some things.” Scalpel, please!

The Eyes of Texas Are Upon Us

— Seven Days has learned that the big black hat of the dairy compact range war — giant Suiza Foods of Dallas, Texas — has just signed on a Vermont consulting firm to han dle their “strategic communica tions.” According to Sen.

WHY DOESN’T U.S. REQUIRE HIGHTECH BRAKE LIGHTS? D ear Tom a n d Ray: W hat can you tell me about the A B W (Advanced Brake Warning) system? H ow come there isn’t a law requiring its installation on all new cars (like the third, high-mounted brake light)? In Israel, where I live, dealers commonly install the sys tem on new cars as an added safety feature. It isn’t very expen sive, a n d I ’m wondering why safety organizations a n d insur-

ance companies aren’t demanding that it be installed a t the tim e o f manufacture? — A J.

T O M : I assume you’re talking about one o f the systems that displays the intensity with which one is stepping on the brakes, right? There are several such systems that have been invented. RAY: O ne o f them makes the brake lights flash faster as the pedal is applied w ith more pressure. A nother makes the brake lights grow brighter as the pedal nears the floor. And all o f them are designed to let the driver behind you know

whether you’re just tapping the brakes as a cautionary move, or slamming them on full to stop at a doughnut shop that's hav ing a close out. T O M : My brother happens to think this is a great idea. In fact, he’s convinced that he invented the idea. Then again, if you put an ice cube in his hand, five minutes later he’d be convinced he invented water. RAY: T he National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) HAS looked at these systems extensively. But they found no convincing evidence that ABW would prevent acci dents. And N H T SA refuses to make som ething m andatory for manufacturers unless there is clear evidence that it will have a real effect on accidents and injuries. ■„ T O M : You would think, intu-

itively, that knowing how hard someone in front of you is applying the brakes could only help you. But w hat N H T SA found was that people d id n 't have time to process the extra information. T he brake lights themselves are sort o f a w arn ing light that’s supposed to get your attention and get you to put your foot on YO U R brake pedal immediately. T he tests showed that there was just no time — in real-world situations — for people to process and make use o f the flashing fre quency or intensity o f light before emergency action was required. RAY: They also found that the flashing could be confusing to drivers, and that the variation in brightness o f the lights was difficult to read quickly. T O M : T heir conclusion was

iU n e l^ V -

that this sort o f advanced brake w arning system is not w orth the cost and w ouldn’t really aid in preventing accidents. RAY: T hey came to the oppo site conclusion, by the way, about the high-m ounted third brake light. T h at did seem to prevent accidents and has been m andatory for some years now. T O M : Perhaps over time, data from another country, like Israel, m ight provide some con vincing evidence. But until N H T S A sees that, you w on’t be seeing any such advance brake w arning systems here in the U.S. o f A.

LEGALS COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFI CANT IMPACT AND OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS TO ALL IN TER ESTED AGEN C IES, GROUPS, PERSONS: The Purpose of this Notice is to identify two separate but related actions to be taken by the State of Vermont with the Burlington Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO) as administra tor. On or about June 30, 2000 the above named will request that HUD release funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 19 7 4 (PL 9 3-3 8 3) and the National Affordable Housing Act to be used for the following project: Project Title: Vermont Transit Bus Barns Redevelopment ; Purpose/Nature of Project: To provide 2 5 units of safe, decent and affordable hous ing through the renovation of the existing brick service

LEGALS garages and the construction of a new residential building. Location of Project: 3 4 3 No. Winooski Ave., Burlington Estimated Cost of Project: $ 3 .2 million (HOME funds will provide $ 15 0 ,0 0 0 ). FINDING OF NO S IG N IF CANT IMPACT: An environmental review for the project has been made by CEDO with concurrence by the State of Vermont and is available for public examina tion and copying at City Hall, CEDO, Room 3 2 , Burlington during normal business hours. Based on this review it has been determined that a request for release of funds will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and hence, an environmental impact state ment will not be undertaken under the National Environmental Policy Act of 19 6 9 (P.L. 9 1-9 10 )T h e Finding of No Significant Impact is based on the fol lowing:

LEGALS The project involves the clean-up and redevelopment of an industrial brownfield site that has been developed for over 10 0 years. The pro ject will restore the historic buildings, clean-up the envi ronmental contamination and bring much needed afford able rental housing to an existing residential neighbor hood. The project will decrease noise, pollution, curb cuts and impermeable surfaces; increase green space and improve the gener al aesthetics of this signifi cant industrial site. PU BLIC COMMENTS ON FINDING All interested agencies, groups, and persons disagree ing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for consideration to the State of Vermont at the address listed at the end of this notice no later than June 30, 2000.

Dear Cecil, Just when I thought that all I had to worry about was the Pakistanis with a nuke, I receive a letter telling me that je t contrails are killing me! The letter referred me to this site: contrailconnection.com. I was aghast! I knew a bad set o f entrails could mess you up, like eating a bloated buffalo, but now contrails?

contrail menace. Not anymore, boy. If you thought fluori dated water was bad, wait till you get a load of this. Contrails, short for condensation trails, are those long white lines in the sky that sometimes stream out behind jet aircraft. They’re formed when jet exhaust precipitates a stream of tiny ice crystals in moist, frigid upper air. Or so they’d have you believe. But check out these firsthand reports from the Contrail Connection site: • “On my honeymoon in Smokey Mountain National Park. The weather was picture perfect. The weather chan nel showed that the Doppler radar showed not a cloud in the sky, and wouldn’t be for several days... My husband and I... saw some disipating [sic] contrails [and] an hour later enexplainable [ric] rain. So unexplainable that [repeti tive rambling deleted]. As quickly as the rain had come it was gone, the clouds just seemed to melt into the sky, not like a system moved on. That night I came down with the worse respitory [sic] whooping virus I have ever had, sick with nausea, congestion, cough, vomiting [and really bad spelling]. Lasted the week of my honeymoon and beyond with symptoms not letting up. Didn’t know about contrails then, but these reports explain are so similiar [sic] to what I experienced that they cannot be ignored.” • “Yesterday (10-1-99), on our way past Dover Air Force Base, we noticed a camouflaged plane on the south end of the base. There were three words on the side. Couldn’t read the first one clearly, ‘ME____ ’ AIR FORCE. Under the wing facing us, was a large canister, pointed on the end towards the rear and rounded on the front, beige in color. We are very concerned about what is being sprayed and feel it has affected our health.” • “Although I do not believe in UFOs, or most anything that Art Bell talks about, I am a diehard believer of chemtrail spraying! [Spraying] gave me burning eyes, a sore throat, and a nosebleed... I reached the point of panic and called not only the... TV stations, but also CN N , the Weather Channel, NOAA and the NWS Mt. Holly. All were giving me the same response of denial. I had to make a phone call later that day, and the line was dead! I went to a neighbors house, called the phone company, and was

told that they could not find the problem. Walking back to my house, I saw a strange van parked at the edge of my property. They stayed parked there for a half hour until I got the guts to walk outside and let them know that I was aware of them, at which time they drove away. The entire outside phone line had to be replaced the next day. The phone company said that the line had a short out. This is the first time my phone has had this problem in the entire 39 years this house has been here!” Some tell tales of mysterious white tanker planes, a counterpart to the black helicopters of paranoid legend, crisscrossing the country spraying “chemtrails” that make people sick. Often the chemtrails form an X, which is “read by satellites to track dispersal patterns,” we learn. In many cases the contrails are accompanied by a cobweblike cloud of “angel hair” filaments descending from the sky. Other times clear or brown Jell-O-like goop spatters the land scape. Some think the goop and the filaments result from improperly adjusted spray nozzles on the mysterious air craft. Are these people crazy? O f course they’re crazy. But there’s an element of truth to what they say. In recent years scientists have become concerned about the effects of jet contrails on the environment. In research published in 1998, NASA scientists found that by circling a jet off the Pacific coast they were able to create contrails that eventu ally coalesced into a cirrus cloud covering 1400 square miles. An examination of satellite photographs turned up • an instance of jet contrails in New Mexico forming a cloud covering 13,000 square miles. (NASA atmospheric scientist Patrick Minnis thinks the publicity surrounding these reve lations may have been what set off the chemtrail nuts.) Cirrus cloud cover is thought to have increased significant ly over the U.S. since 1971, possibly due to jet travel. Given the steady rise in air traffic, these clouds may lead to local and eventually global warming and other meteorolog ical effects — not necessarily angel hair filaments and JellO-like goop, but perhaps a lot fewer sunny days.

SEVEN DAYS

J u n 6 1 5 - .22, A R IES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Whenever I psychically tune into your imminent fate, I get visions of you taking champagne baths and playing tag in fountains and making love near waterfalls. With my watery Cancerian nature, I interpret this to be a very appealing prophecy of giddy, fizzy adventures in intimacy. But I’m wondering if you, with your addiction to playing with fire, will be dazzled at all by these moist thrills. I hope so. Here’s one good omen to report: This morning I dreamed of Rosie O’Donnell and Spike Lee, both of whom are Aries, blowing bubbles in a hot tub as a nearby choir sang “Take Me to the River.”

t w a

TAU R U S

(Apr. 20-May 20): I appreciate the subtlety and care with which you’ve been trying to convey your increasingly insistent message. Sad to say, however, you’re just not being met with the receptivity you deserve. It’s time, therefore, to sum mon more high-impact modes of communication. How about squalling a homemade manifesto through a bullhorn or FedExing a half-burnt $20 bill covered with poetic demands? Better yet, put your face right in the faces of your target audience and speak the bald truth without a trace of anger.

GEM INI

(May 21-June 20): I mischievously considered sending you white gloves and juicy strawberries for your birthday, but decided it might aggravate your feeling that life has been One Big Tease lately. Instead, here are the gifts I promise to try to deliver (or at least predict) during the rest of 2000: growing pains that feel pretty good; disposal of the psychic garbage left over from 1995-1999; advice that inspires you to develop a greater receptivity to help, rewards, and.invisible means of support; lessons in the difference between oppressive self-control and liberating self-control; and the luck and skill

you’ll need to ensure that love tri umphs over infatuation.

C AN C ER

(June 21-July 22): Personally, I’m glad I didn’t end up spending my adult life in the neigh borhood I grew up in. Some folks thrive on that version of long-term community, but it would have been stifling to me. I’d hate trying to keep evolving while straitjacketed by the expectations of people who thought I would and should always remain like the person I was when I was younger. You might be different from me, though, Cancerian. Maybe you’re more likely to shine when you’re in close contact with an extended tribe you’ve known forever. If so, this is an excellent moment to work hard on building more family feeling. If not, it’s prime time to run away from home and start the next chapter in your life story.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): “Companies have three options,” says biz wiz Louise Biggs. “They can either ignore change, be in constant struggle about change, or learn how to thrive and prosper in change.” Businesses that fail, she adds, often do so because they’ve refused to change or else changed at the wrong time. I believe this advice is equally applicable to individuals — and especially to Leo individuals in the coming weeks. In the near future, you will have ripe opportunities to mutate and trans form with poignant grace. Please don’t refuse these soul-stirring invitations.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Never before, Virgo, have you reminded me of a hawk. An elegant pheasant or busy hummingbird, yes. But never a powerful hunter like the hawk. And yet that’s exactly what you resemble now. Maybe for the first

time ever, you’re primed to act more like a predator than prey. You’re ready to go on the offensive, scouring large expanses for juicy tidbits. As you jour ney far and wide in search of the exact nourishment you need, I urge you to learn from the hawk’s approach to travel. Rather than flapping its wings relentlessly, it often hitchhikes on “thermals” — warm updrafts created as the sun heats the earth’s surface at midday. Riding one of these windy spirals to high altitudes, it then soars free of it and glides slowly downward for miles until it finds another ther mal.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Dr. Brezsny: What am I going to dp this summer? Will I have fun? Will I meet anyone nice? Will my life be forever changed for the better? — Curious Libra in Nashville.” Dear Curious: I predict that this summer you will make a pilgrimage to a holy wasteland, where you will pluck a magic weed at the exact moment a thunderclap booms. You will then place a shred of the weed under your tongue, whereupon you will feel an irresistible urge to memorize and act out Emily Dickinson’s poem, “Soul at the White Heat.”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): To celebrate the grand re-opening of your direct hotline to God, I’ll tell you about two ideas that might come in handy. First, there’s philosopher Robert Anton Wilson’s notion that what this planet really needs is six bil lion religions — in other words, a unique spiritual path for each seeker. Secondly, there’s the democratic approach to spirituality cultivated by the Gnostics of the first few centuries A.D. They believed that every devotee was potentially a visionary who could Experience epiphanies worthy of

becoming part of the ever-evolving Gnostic doctrine. I hope these help inspire you to reach new heights of intensity in your conversations with the Divine Wow, Scorpio. More than ever, you don’t need any priest, rabbi, guru, lama or imam to serve as mid dleman.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re delectable! You’re radiant! Your pheromones are as simi lar to those of a sexual champion as they will ever be! If you’re single and don’t want to be, the cosmos is con spiring for you to meet your match. To prep you for action, let’s review a few flirtation techniques. The lip-lick and the eyebrow flash are great ice breakers, as is tilting your neck side ways. Once the conversation begins, patting your clothes or smoothing your hair is sure to send signals straight to your target’s libido. And of course, nothing beats fondling a near by object like a wine glass. Oh, by the way: If you’re happily mated, all the above still applies. Use your ripeness not to win a new paramour, but to seduce your old familiar into a deeper level of intimacy.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): “The psychic health of an individual resides in the capacity to recognize and welcome the ‘Other,’” writes poet and translator Rosanna Warren in The Art of Translation. “Our word ‘idiot’ comes from the Greek [idiotes].. .whose primary sense is of privacy.. .isolation.” With this warning, Warren builds her case for the virtues of reading literature that has been translated from its native tongue. Her point could also be applied to the value of encountering people that are utterly different from you and of going places that are out side of your comfort zone. These exer-

ciscs will be especially healthy for you in the weeks to come, Capricorn. I urge you to culti vate an eagerness for what’s for eign, even alien, and almost untranslatable.

AQ U A R IU S

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “The doors to heaven and hell are adjacent and identical,” novelist Nikos Kazantzakis wrote, “both green, both beautiful.” After extensive medi tation, I decided that while this thought might be good for you to contemplate right now, it’s only par tially true. Here are some additional clues for you to consider as you decide which door to slip through in the coming weeks. First of all, the door to heaven is harder to open, and so you may be tempted to go with the other, choice simply because it’s less taxing. Secondly, the beauty of hell’s door is cheaper and less enduring; look closely and you can see the paint chipping away and a subtle lack of impeccability in the craftsmanship.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I’m sure you’d be hard-pressed to say anything positive about the emotional traumas you’ve endured in the course of your life. Wounds are very bad things, right? Normally, I’d agree, but not now. These days, losses that occurred long ago may have a tonic effect on you. Ancient griefs are ripen ing into useful wisdom. The broken heart you suffered way back when could be the X-factor that rouses you to stake a claim to fierce, fresh love. ® You can c a ll R ob B rezsn y, d ay or n ig h t fo r y o u r

Dear Lola, The woman I love has a real way with words. When she constructs analogies, I get hot as an ant under a sadist’s magnifying glass in August. Her imagery sends shocks of electric desire shooting through my extremities. And when she speaks in metaphor, I die. Though we have not yet been intimate, I believe we are headed in that direc tion. I asked her to be the fire in my hearth, and she replied, ’Til be the smoke that rises from your chimney. ” Now I don’t know what to do. Did she mean yes or no? Flummoxed in Ferrisburgh Dear Flummoxed, How am I supposed to know? It’s not clear she understood you to mean what you under stood yourself to mean, let alone whether she meant what you hope she meant. My advice: Try plain Cnglish. Fuzzy language can be a fun and safe alternative to mind-altering drugs, but it’s not great for getting your point across. Utter an utterly ncn-ambigucus statement and watch her swoon a t the power of your prose. Love, m d
