GET A LIFE — YOUR OW N Those Miss Cleo ads [“Tubefed: Card Tricks,” June 27] have bothered me ever since they appeared. People need to understand that no one can change their lives for them. They need to get credible help and support from appropriately accredited people and work out a plan o f action themselves. — Jacquelyn E. W hitford Ashburn, Virginia

old but could already clearly see that sitting in a bomb shelter was no sure * cure for the end of the world. I did sit in that bomb shelter during the 1956 war between Israel and Egypt and I clearly remember the sounds of bombs falling through the air and exploding. Now that was putting a bomb shelter to good rational use. — Kal Palnicki Columbus, Ohio

MISS CLEO IS A CARNY Any carny can do that same act [as Miss Cleo]. It has worked for cen turies. W hy should it begin to fail now? Faith is accepting as truth that which you know is not true at all. Nearly all Americans profess to have faith in something or other. The cash flow in religion is totally dependent on faith. It can be a very handsome living to be a con who is willing to keep you going by telling things you want to hear. Check in with The Amazing Randy, James Randy, who has been debunking these people for decades on TV and elsewhere. It has not made much o f a dent in the faith/con mar ket. It is a growing sector o f our econ omy and will continue to [be] so for the foreseeable future. I saw it for what it was when a tea leaf reader told my mother that the world v/as going to end on a certain date and suggested that my siblings and I be sent to wait in the bomb shel ter on that day. I was not yet 10 years

ALIEN REVIEW This is concerning Mr. Kisonak’s movie review of Steven Spielberg’s film, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence [“Talking Pictures,” July 4]. He faults the film for including what he says are “aliens” near the end. Kisonak should give considerable thought to a second viewing of this challenging and multi layered movie, because it should be apparent to anyone who actually paid attention that those beings were not aliens at all, but were instead a more advanced form o f the “mecha-robot” model the film was about in the first place. There are numerous hints throughout the film pointing this out, the most notable one being the form that we see David in when he first makes his appearance inside the eleva tor. Also, the super-mechas at the end have clearly taken the form of the stat ue that makes up the logo of the Cybertronics company. It’s bad enough that Mr. Kisonak spends the entire review talking about other films instead of judging A.I. on its own mer-

its and terms, but this laughable over sight flushes whatever credibility he had left down the toilet. — Kurt Rivero Burlington A, BUT N O T I Artificial, okay, but “Intelligence,” no. A.I: Artificial Intelligence is a film about pathos, not intelligence. No wonder it appealed to Steven Spielberg; the wonder is that it’s so boring. Only its art direction raises it to the level of Flawed But Serious Attempt. Interesting that Rick Kisonak (“Talking Pictures,” July 4) connects it with Blade Runner. But he stresses thematic parallels that are forced. W hat I noticed was a visual similarity, albeit spotty: the visceral use of light ing and complexity of sets to establish plausibility. If the world feels right, we believe in it. But Blade Runner does this consis tently and merges it with plot, dia logue, performance and all the other stuff of film into a seamless artistic whole — a textbook case of auteur theory. A.I. feels like a committee job. Does Rick mean to attribute androids to Ridley Scott? Scott, after all, based his 1982 film on Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel, Do Androids Dream o f Electric Sheep? Even then, the idea was old. ’Way back then — ayup, I don’t think Rick goes back that far, and I know Spielberg and George Lucas

don’t — we serious SF fans also, distin guished between mechanical robots and organic androids. However lifelike outside, if it was metal inside, it was a robot. Some of Isaac Asimov’s robots could almost pass for human and had circuits engineered for expressing appropriate emotion. But they were still robots. An android, though: Grown in a test tube or vat or some thing, with bones, organs, blood, a brain, it could do everything we can do. Was it, then, “human?” Same old drama. There are no new stories, only new tellings. So, what will we call the hum an looking thing we eventually clone or engineer? It’ll be an android, but, since Star Wars, “droid” is applied so indis criminately, the word has lost its speci ficity. — Fred G.

Chainsaw Revs Up — The travails at the Vermont tax department have meant big-time headaches for Tax Commissioner Janet Ancel and lousy PR for the Dean administration. But for the state’s rookie auditor of accounts, the mess in tax land has been a blessing in disguise. Democrat Elizabeth Ready of Lincoln has jumped into the tax fray like a logger into the pucker brush.

Extraterrestrial Thrill Plans are being drawn up for a hotel in space where couples can make love in weightless conditions. The idea for the space hotel, which will feature 500 padded “romance rooms” containing no furniture for cou ples to fulfill their wildest dreams, follows American Dennis Titos $20-million trip to the International Space Station. California’s Space Island Group, which is behind the idea, said it has already invested millions of dollars into the scheme, which could be up ~nd running within six years. “At first, the plan was just to open a space hotel,” said Gene Meyers, Space Island Group’s president. “But our research shows that the real reason cou ples want to spend a week in space is for fabulous sex.”

Curses, Foiled Again Police in Fort Worth, Texas, charged Lakount Maddox, 17, with trying to rob a Taco Bell after he pulled up to the drivethrough window on a bicycle, brandished what turned out to be a toy gun and demanded money. He also ordered a chalupa. Police responding to a 911 call from a Taco Bell worker found Maddox still sitting on his bike at the drive-through. “He got the money but then waited there while his food was being prepared,” Fort Worth

Police Lt. Duane Paul said. “He never got his chalupa.”

Mensa Reject of the Week When a man stopped by a convenience store in Covington, Kentucky, and announced he would be back in 30 minutes to rob the place, clerk James Phillips neither notified the police nor locked the door. “He told me he would stand at the corner, and if he saw a cop car he would shoot me,” Phillips said after the robber returned and made off with $200 to $300.

Money Matters Sir George Mathewson, the head of the Royal Bank of Scotland, was robbed at one of his own automatic teller machines. Mathewson was withdrawing cash in London when two men approached him from behind. After noting his PIN and waiting for the machine to return his card, they tapped him on the shoulder and told him he had dropped a fivepound note. When he bent down to look for the bill, his assailants reached over and grabbed his bank card, then fled. • A security guard at a Turkish bank pulled a gun and ordered a teller to empty a safe, then ran outside and began firing into the air. He threw some of the bank notes into the air and

handed out the rest to passersby and shopkeepers. The Anatolian news agency reported the guard acted in response to plans to close the bank, explain ing he was depressed at the prospect of losing his job.

Thanks for Nothing Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry banned foreign women providing humanitarian aid from driving after receiving orders from the ruling Taliban’s Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. “It has been seen that some for eign women drive cars in the cities, which is against Afghan tradition and has a negative impact on the society,” the proclamation read. • The United Nations ordered aid workers to stop walking in

Taliban “will come in a car and try to run you down.”

Litigation Nation Gary Munneke, a professor at New York’s Pace University School of Law, was lecturing on personal-injury law when he demonstrated a point by pulling a chair from under a student as she sat down. The student, Denise DiFede, responded by suing Munneke for $5 million.

School Daze A mob of angry students at a veterinary college in Patna, India, attacked professor Mani Mohan Prasad with hockey sticks, then hurled gasoline bombs at his car when he tried to escape. Police superintendent O.P. Bhaskar told Reuters news agency the attack occurred because Prasad, who suffered major burns, would not let the students cheat on an exam.

Scam of the Week Federal prosecutors in Miami charged Alphonse Jean Daniel with engaging in an elaborate scheme to rent out homes he did not own. U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis said that when Daniel learned three homeowners moved out of their houses because they faced fore closure for failing to pay the mortgages, he filed bankruptcy petitions on their behalf with out telling them. The action automatically halted the foreclo sure proceedings, allowing Daniel to rent out the proper ties and keep the money for himself. ®

stood in the baggage arrival area with two customers, both men in their sixties and both bound for the same board meeting at the Sugarbush Inn. Beyond that, they couldn’t have been more different. One gentleman was visibly sweating in a dark blue, threepiece suit, his bifocals perched on the tip of his nose. Period ically, he pushed back his oily black hair with a cupped hand. He checked his watch about every 30 seconds. I don’t know if the waiting-for-baggage time is similar at larger metropolitan airports, but at Burlington Airport, passengers can cool their heels for up to a half-hour between disembarking and lug gage arrival. The other man was dressed in airy cotton or linen pants of a neutral gray-brown hue, with a was bald in the front, with fine silver hair brushed back and slightly curling at the collar. His eyes were round, clear, sky-blue and strikingly tranquil. Al though not obviously muscular, he seemed to move from the center of his abdomen, with a strength and power unusual for a man his age. His body emanated a peaceful, soothing vibration. And his low-key charisma was such that I found myself wanting to stare at him. Finally the red warning light went on, and the luggage han dlers behind the back wall sounded the buzzer three times, signaling the start of the convey or belt.

A rowdy running — and drinking — group puts the “x” back in exercise By Paula R outly here are plenty of ways to get in shape. But only one I’ve come across incorpo rates alcohol and aerobics. Jogging is a social event with the one-year-old Burlington Hash House Harriers, whose members proudly describe themselves as “drinkers with a running prob lem.” Their Wednesday evening jaunts combine fun and fitness in what amounts to a marathon tail gate party. Mention the word “race” and you’ll find yourself slamming a beer. Hashers call them “down downs.” I gotta admit the anticipated Labatt Blue buzz made it slightly easier to run down Church Street at cocktail hour shouting, singing and sweating on a sweltering summer night. It also got me through the alley behind The Burlington Free Press building, three parking garages, the deck at Vermont Pub and Brewery and the lobby of the Radisson, into which we breezed, 30-strong, like misguided Marines. Public displays of unorthodox

whereupon a pack of selfappointed scouts, nicknamed “front-running bastards,” fan out to locate the next hare’s arrow. Whoever finds it first yells to the others with encouraging words in an anglophile spirit. “True Trail,” they holler, or “On, on.” All of this would be fine in the woods, or even on the water front. But in an African shanty town, it was too colonial for comfort. Similarly, panting with the pack by the Daily Planet made quite a spectacle. We had already stopped outside Red Square to sing. Someone had inadvertently mentioned the word “head,” which instantly launched the group into a dirty dittie from the Hash Hymnal. I stood dumbfounded while they bellowed with summer-camp enthusiasm: Head? Who said head? I’ll take some o f that. A nd I did, and it was good, And there was much rejoicing A nd then we fucked.

flowers. Like Vikings, with horns on our heads. Head? Who said head? I’ll take some o f that and I did. It was almost worse to stand mute amongst these raunchy car olers than it would have been to join in. So I made up for my lack of team spirit with full participa tion at the first beer stop in the parking garage across from the Chittenden Bank. Along with setting trail, organizers make sure beverage supplies are strategically

placed along the way. In this case, the ice-cold beer showed up in a parked car. While a couple of guys pissed against the concrete wall — one of the downsides of doing down downs on the run — hashers hung around the tailgate, drink ing and singing. A recent initiate stepped into the center of the cir cle to sing a solo that was kind of like an X-rated “Twelve Days of Christmas,” complete with ges tures. It began with “Monday is Whacking D ay... “ The line between hashing and hazing was getting pretty thin.

But by the time we scam pered down the steep hill off the edge of Battery Park, I was hav ing so much fun I’d almost for gotten I was relying on decadeold tennis shoes to get me through this assignment, not to mention a bra designed for standing still. At the bottom there was more beer by a dump ster on Lake Street, and I struck up a conversation with a twen tysomething engineer from IBM — a second-time hasher who was able to articulate the appeal. “It’s a good place to meet people,” he offered.

“You mean a good place to meet women?” I said. “Well, yeah,” he replied tenta tively. “Women who don’t mind sweating,” I added. “Yeah,” he replied, “or swearing, and they can run.” My left calf muscle was start ing to seize up by the time we reached the “booby check” — a change of direction that specifies women scout out the “true trail.” The ladies took it in stride. In fact, the fittest front-running bastard in the group was female. People were still talking about the hash she hared several weeks ago, lead ing the hounds on a multi-mile run through parts of Burlington some of them had never seen before. Regardless of routing, the whole event usually covers no more than three miles and wraps up in roughly 69 minutes. Get it? This particular party wound up in the drink — that is, the lake. Emptying their runningshorts pockets of wallets, credit cards and cell phones, the hot-

blooded hashers plunged into the water at Perkins Pier — right by the sewage treatment plant. “G.I. Joe” took the heat for that shielly coincidence in the closing circle, obediently downing a beer from the bottom of an inverted plunger. Sewage treatment indeed. Hash-related offenses and their accompanying punishments — invariably liquor consumption — are at “the whim of the pack,” says Gafami, noting that other infractions include wearing new sneakers, sunglasses, short-cutting and, of course, being a virgin. “We’ve made people drink for taking pit stops, all kinds of dif ferent things. It’s all in fun,” he says. So far, the only run-ins with authorities have been over the flour, which apparently aroused some suspicion, and making noise in a residential area. This weekend the Burlington club is hosting its first “invihashional” at North Beach — three days of running and rowdiness that ends on Sunday with a “hangover hash.” If you can keep up, there are worse ways to meet like-minded people, and certainly more unpleasant ways to get in shape. Even the singing is bear able. Like me, you may end up changing your tune. ® For information about Wednesday night runs with the Burlington Hash House Harriers, call 865-3196, or visit the Web site at www.burlingtonhash.com.

The cure — or “Kur,” if you want to be more Germanic about the business of healing — con sisted of daily 20-minute baths followed by 20 minutes of rest and frequent strolling from pump house to pump house for draughts of the mineral water. A visitor’s guide from 1882 points out, “The first taste of the waters is not always lovely.” T hat’s an

ack in the day when celery tonic was considered an elixir and a turn in the park counted as exercise, Saratoga Springs, New York, was known throughout America as the “Queen of the Spas.” The royal moniker set it apart from lesser destinations like Cape May, New Jersey, and the spa part distin guished Saratoga from its tonier sum mer rival: Newport, Rhode Island. Was anything left now, I wondered, of the spa scene that once boasted 25 bath houses, 35 pump rooms and pavilions, 11 and a small army of spa doctors to treat everything from dysentery to dipso mania? Saratoga still offers mineral baths, but nowadays there are two shows in town. The first is liv ing history, the insti tutional Lincoln Bath. The second is the Motel 6 of spas, understatement: Most of the the Crystal Spa. Saratoga is no springs bubbled up water that longer the watering hole destina tasted like rotten eggs mixed with tion that had Washington Irving, cayenne pepper.

One scandal ized young cure-seeker, 29-yearold Almira Hathaway Reid, wrote in her diary in 1826, “...this village place I fear will prepare more souls for destruc tion than those efficacious waters will heal infirm bodies.” O f course, Saratoga offered culture, too — readings by authors and poets, and sym phonies from the best orches tras in the country. I began my own mini-Kur with a $17 mineral bath at the upstart Crystal Spa, which opened in 1988 in an attempt to revive the hottub trade. Curiosity-seek ers still come in droves. The spa is the main building of the Grand Union Motel, not to be confused with the legendary 1000-room Grand Union Hotel that was torn down in 1952.

Victorian aesthetic, Benton explained, “is designed to make you feel instantly at home.” However, that will only be accomplished if you happen to live in a house decorated in cherub motifs and cluttered with chintzy Victorian kitsch.

When I saw the tub filled with swampy-looking, greenish-yellow water, my first instinct was to request fresh water. “This water has a lot of minerals,” Jeanne offered vaguely. I soaked in the mineral-rich, slightly effervescent water for 20 minutes. Jeanne stopped by every five to add more hot water and deliver glasses of ice water. Post soak, I emerged from the brine and Jeanne wrapped me in warm sheets, massaged my face with cucumbers and suggested I rest for 20 minutes. Depending on which services you book, a masseuse, reflexolo gist or facialist might work on you in this same private room. It’s an efficient, personalized approach. After my mineral bath I asked Benton if she believed in the efficacy of the waters. “With every breath I take,” she said earnestly. “I couldn’t come to work every morning if I didn’t.” I agreed with the second part. I left the Motel 6 Spa on South Broadway and headed out to Yaddo, the famous artists’ colony in a Victorian mansion, to pick up Donald, a high-strung friend who could use a little Kur. At the old-school Lincoln Bath, the receptionist handed us separate plastic numbers and we waited, like two people at a deli, for someone to call them. I asked the receptionist if we could bathe

Horrified at the thought, the receptionist said, “Oh, God, no!” Bathing Saratoga-style is deemed a soli tary, medically dictated activity, and men and women are put in separate wings. The Lincoln Bath is funky, wherein lies its charm. The reception area looks like a hospi tal waiting room. The women’s wing is a vast linoleum hall with individual bathing stalls parti tioned off with turquoise walls. My new bath attendant, Callie, showed me into my bathing stalls. The first room had a bed and a place to hang clothes; the second room held the tub, with a big rafter window through which light flooded in overhead. The scratched, cast-iron tub was original to the Lincolns opening in 1930. It has soul: rust lines visible; no nozzles; an old pipe jutting into the foot of the tub to deliver the mineral water. This mineral water thing had always been a fuzzy concept to me. How could anyone tell the difference between one spring and anoth er? But as I soaked in the milky, intensely bubbly waters of the Lincoln spring, I could already hear myself expounding the virtues of this one over the Rosemary Spring at the Motel 6 spa. This water, rich in carbon dioxide, was like a bath of 98° Veuve Cliquot. It covered my skin in tiny bub bles, which formed such a dense swath across my bociy that I could play tic-tac-toe on my stomach.

fisiting Saratoga — and the Lincoln Bath in particular is a little like time-trav eling. The bathing experience is the closest thing America has to the ambiance of a central Euro pean spa like Baden-Baden or Carlsbad. The Lincoln was origi nally built in 1911. Then, like almost every old wood building in Saratoga, it burned down. The next incarnation of the Lincoln Bath was unveiled in 1930, due largely to the efforts of

its star proponent, then-governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt. New York State spent $750,000 to re build the Lincoln, at the time the largest bath building in the world. Its 250 tubs could accom modate 4500 bathers per day. But the effort to revitalize Saratoga didn’t stop there. FDR and other powerful New Yorkers

College-aged Callie stopped in .to chat about the popularity of the springs, and about her sister, who actually likes to drink the T water. According to Callies sister, the most potable spring in town is the Hathorn, just across the street from the Ben & Jerry’s. After our baths Donald and I poked around downtown, strolled through Congress Park, and sampled every spring we bumped into. Some look like glorified drinking fountains; oth ers are housed under elegant pavilions. Callies sister was right: Hathorn was the best, which isn’t saying much except that you don’t have to spit it out.

wanted to build “the most com plete government health unit in the United States.” Transforming Saratoga into an American version of BadenBaden was the first major New Deal program to be completed. The New Spa opened in 1935, a 10-building complex with bath houses, pump houses, doctors’ offices and lodging. Treatments were subsidized by the govern ment, and anyone with a doctor’s note could take a three-week cure for $110, including lodging. Saratoga once again had firstrate, modern facilities based on the latest hydrotherapy and spamedicine research coming out of Europe. Problem was, the revival never took off. The spa could not manage to operate without mas sive government subsidies and, one by one, the facilities began to close in the 1950s. W hat went wrong? Times had changed: People no longer spent a summer season in one place; taking a three-week cure was an unimag inable luxury for most, and, sig nificantly, medical advances turned a doubtful eye on hydrotherapy. The cure became a cultural relic. Cure or curios ity, though, taking the waters is still delightful. Donald’s favorite part was getting bundled up in the warm sheet at the end. I liked the bubbles. We both felt simultane ously soothed and invigorated enough to run six miles without breaking a sweat. And for once, there was no spa sticker shock. You can barely walk into a city “spa” these days without drop ping at least $70. In Saratoga, $20 buys a lot of relaxation. ®

These guidelines, based on rec ommendations from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, list several means of control, starting with Malathion. But this is Vermont, after all, and state offi cials are determined not to emulate New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s spray-from-the-hip program. Epidemiologist Patsy Tassler says that Malathion will not be used, even though it’s on the list of pesti cides approved for the program. That’s good, because exposure to the stuff has been linked to an increased risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Instead, Tassler says, the

reduce adult mosquito populations would be a last resort,” Tassler says. “We would only do a spray cam paign if we think there’s a really high risk of having humans being infected. One dead bird does not indicate a high risk.” But maybe a few dead birds, or a horse that’s not feeling well, could crank up the spray trucks, at least in the area where the virus is found. Individuals who would rather not be sprayed can contact their local health department and ask to be put on a do-not-spray list. This does not mean they won’t be in the line of fire, however, just that they’ll be notified when and if

Department of Health is prepared to go with synthetic pyrethroids such as resmethrin, a.k.a. Scourge, and sumithrin, or Anvil. Safer, maybe, but certainly not harmless. Both are notoriously toxic to fish, and should never be sprayed on lakes, ponds or any place where fish will be exposed. That rules out a good part of Vermont. Further, tests suggest possible human danger. One study showed that pyrethroids, as endocrine-dis rupting chemicals, may contribute to reproductive dysfunction, devel opmental impairment and cancer. And tests suggest that chronic exposure to resmethrin may cause thyroid cysts. That’s not to men tion the acute effects of exposure, including rashes, headaches, blis ters, chest pains and difficulty breathing. Vermont is still a ways from spraying. “A spray program to

spraying is done so they can hide in the house. In the meantime, there’s plenty Vermonters can do to implement a backyard mosquitoabatement program. Andrew Speilman, a researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health and author of Mosquito: A Natural History o f Our Most Persistent and Deadly Foe, says the two mosquito species that carry West Nile breed in stagnant water. And since they don’t venture far from where they were born, it helps to get rid of all standing water. That means in downspouts, gutters, water barrels, wading pools, birdbaths, whatever. Ponds can be treated with Bacillus thurengiensis, a natural microbial pesticide. Plenty of mosquito-beating products promise the world but flat-out don’t work. For example, those little personal mosquito pro

tection devices that emit a highfrequency signal which supposedly scares, agitates or otherwise dis pleases mosquitoes. “Test after test has shown them to be completely ineffective,” says Speilman. The conventional bug zapper, brightening suburban backyards with blue light and the festive „ sound of sizzling moths is nearly as ineffective. In one overnight test of a single zapper in Vero Beach, Florida, in 1997, researchers counted 10,000 dead insects. How many were mosquitoes? An unlucky eight. However, a new breed of zap per called the Dragonfly is now on the market. It uses carbon dioxide, octenol and heat to lure mosqui toes. Theoretically it should work. In fact, the health department traps use carbon dioxide to attract the insects. But Speilman fears the lure may work too well. “You might be better off if your neighbor bought one,” he suggests. What about repellants? DEET works, no doubt about it. But the chemical stew can be dangerous — especially to kids — in high con centrations. It is suspected as a contributing factor in Gulf War Syndrome. And DEET’s active ingredient — N, N-Diethyl-metatoluamide — can cause seizures in high concentrations. Citronella-based repellants are safer, if less effective. Speilman notes they do repel mosquitoes, but only as long as one’s skin is moist with the stuff. Finally, if you do spot a dead bird in your back yard, or any where in the state, by all means report it to the Vermont Depart ment of Health. But don’t assume that just because it’s dead the bird was a victim of West Nile virus. Last summer in New York, when pathologists did post-mortems on birds, they found about 1200 had died from West Nile. But for more than 2000 birds, the cause of death was listed as — you guessed it — pesticides and lead. ®

never sounded like a whole lot of fun to me. Especially since I’ve never been truly convinced I needed one, given that my old bowel gets moved pretty regular ly. I mean, getting a colonic has the elements of my more inter esting erotic fantasies — hot shooting liquids, bodily fluids, ass probing, a chick in a nurse’s uniform. But in the context of a preventative health measure, it decidedly loses allure. So, I have to wonder, what’s the point? Well, healthy colon mainte nance is the point. According to the people who champion the procedure, a professional cleans ing on a regular basis keeps nasty cancer cells from forming, rein forces your immune system, and leaves you with a general sense of

well-being. But that ain’t all: After your colon gets irrigated, they say, you’ll think more clearly, sleep better and, if you’ve been constipated for awhile, a clean chute even improves your mood. Lucie Courchesne is a Montreal naturopath who does a brisk business in hydrotherapy — the polite term for colonic irrigation. She works her magic in the basement of an office building on SteCatherine Street, and tells me that the majority of her customers are clogged-up, middle-aged profes sional women. “Most men aren’t all that comfortable about having

things inserted into their anus,” she notes. I suppose you can count me among them. But as a serious health journalist with a

colon that plans to kill me in the next decade or so, I decided it was time to bend over and get the treatment.

I picked up the phone and called for an appointment.

is so clean you could eat

ESMSS potential side-effect I’d prefer not to discuss at this juncture. Truth be told, the procedure is neither particularly messy nor uncomfortable. And Courchesne, aware that many of her customers may feel somewhat compromised in this situation, takes measures to keep the humiliation factor to a mini mum. After a short interview, wherein I revealed my dietary and elimination practices to Courchesnes shock and dismay, I was sent off to the changing room to don my outfit -— a terrycloth number with a flap on the backside, allowing easy access. I was encouraged to see that my colonic shorts fit like a glove and did a bang-up job of accentuating the finer details of my best parts, leaving me with a nice pouch and flattering the curves of my behind. “Can I take these with me when I leave?” I asked Courchesne as I proudly emerged from the changing room to take my place on her colonic table. “These would be bitchin’ at my next fetish party.’ But the colonic table is no place to be making jokes, and, before I knew it, my determined colonic practitioner had me

greased up and was inserting a sterilized hose, about two inches long, into my rectum. I confess it felt kind of good. One end of the hose is hooked up to a sophisticated dis tribution system that pumps fil tered water up your colon, while another works as a drain to remove all the nastiness that the water pressure clears from deep inside your gut. The practitioner controls how much pressure goes up your ass, while massaging your abdomen to gently per suade your colon to part with the stubborn stuff. By your feet is a mirror aimed at a clear plas tic tube in the drainage system, which allows you to observe the stuff you’ve been harboring as it swims through the tube and makes its way into the sewer sys tem. Visually, its actually rather soothing. Unlike an enema, where you suck a whole bunch of liquid into your rear end and then run as fast as possible to the john, the entire colonic mechanism is enclosed. Therefore you don’t get the smells generally associated with bowel relief. There is no spillage whatsoever and, in fact, at the end of the 45-minute ses sion the colonic table is so clean you could eat off it. When we were done and all the crap had been cleansed from my system, Courchesne shot a syringe-full of healing bacteria up my rump to replenish the supply that had been drained through the treatment. Then she handed me a maxi-pad to stick in my underwear in the event anything dripped out while I was walking home. “But I’m not wearing any underwear,” I told her. “Well, just stick it in your pants then,” she advised. “There probably won’t be any leakage, but, just in case, you don’t want to be caught in an embarrassing situation.” Certainly not. So I paid her the $60 she charges for her serv ice, slipped in my maxi-pad, and sashayed home feeling light headed and thoroughly rejuve nated, at peace with my body and the world. That is, of course, until my pad came loose and started slid ing down the leg of my trousers, forcing me to grip the side of my pants until I had a chance to covertly shake the thing out past my ankle —- an event which some might construe as embar rassing but which, in my enlight ened post-colonic state, just seemed like the funniest thing in the world. As for my colon, I’m proud to report that I continue to baf fle experts in the medical com munity. Courchesne says my digestive system is A-OK, and I don’t need to have another ses sion for at least six months. Will I go back? Hell, yes. Having your colon shot up with warm water is, well, kind of a blast. So is upping your life expectancy.

By S usan Green ome people find a balm in every blossom, giving the planets flora a curative and somewhat mystical dimension. For Kirsten Myers, this trans lates into a way to explore her innermost dilemmas. “This is my year for taking care of me,” the 31-year-old Burlington resident explains. “I want to learn as much about myself as I can.” On a recent Friday afternoon, she learns that walnut might help in that process. “It’s a shift-in-life remedy,” says certified flower essence practitioner David Lederman, adding pure walnut tinture to a tiny bottle contain ing equal amounts of spring water and Old Mr. Boston black berry-flavored brandy. “Take four drops four times a day, under your tongue,” he instructs Myers. Lederman points out that he is not making a diagno sis or prescribing a treat ment. To the medical establishment, flower essences are thought to be even further out in left field than herbs or homeopathy. The alter native healing process is derived from Dr. Edward Bach, an early 20th-cen tury British physician who gave up his success ful practice in immunol ogy, pathology and bacteriology to pursue an unorthodox path that saw “negativity” as the com mon enemy. He developed 38 natural remedies from flowers, shrubs and trees — essences that are reportedly still used by Queen Elizabeth. “He saw no material cause for illness,” says Lederman, 37, who has been located in downtown Burlington since April. “Dr. Bach believed all disease originates with our emotions, that they stem from emotional and spiritu al issues.” Consequently, flower essence therapy is tied to the idea of mine? over matter. When con-

cocting the mixture for Myers, Lederman suggests she choose “an affirmation” from a selection recommended by Bach as a sort of daily power-of-positive-thinking ritual. She agrees that to dis solve “ties with the past and turn toward the new” would be suit able for her situation. Lederman analyzes Myers’ sit uation by reading her answers on a three-page intake form to 23 questions, such as “Do you need more self-confidence?” and “On a daily basis, do you have lots of fears?” They discuss each topic in more detail. “Are you bossy?” Lederman asks. “Not as much as I used to be,” Myers responds. He reacts with a big, hearty guffaw that is the frequent com panion to a merry and self-effac ing sense of humor. And, demonstrating the verve of an

With his own vibes under some stress, he takes a swig from a water bottle containing elm, which he says “helps me relax, let go, release the pressure of being overloaded with work.” According to various Web sites on the subject, the lore behind flower essence therapy — either that discovered by Bach or expanded by companies that have sprung up since his pioneering work — addresses complex symptoms. Pomegranate, for instance, is said to be good for “women conflicted between career and family.” Hgather is appropriate for “tholf with a need to constantly talk about themselves and their problems^* _ Nasturtium might be right for someone whose “vitality? is drained by dry inteflfefctualism.” Shooting Star “helps those who don’t feel at home on Earth to create a sense of belonging.” Bach possibly took some cues from the ancient Egyptians and aboriginals, said to have used flower power long before the American countercultqre coined the term. He was keen on treat ing the person rather than the illness, a rather advanced holistic notion back then. These days, flower essences are more widely accept ed in Western Europe, Japan and Brazil than they are in the United States. Lederman’s most dramatic results to date probably took place in 1998, when he gave Bach’s Rescue Remedy — which targets extreme anxiety with cherry plum, clematis, impatiens, rock rose and star of Bethlehem — to a young man in New Jersey suffering from agoraphobia. “It had been so bad he couldn’t leave his house, but, in about six weeks, he was out working and leading a normal life.” In Myers’ case, Lederman thinks the benefits will come

expressive raconteur, Lederman illustrates his speech with ani mated gestures, even when talk ing about serious matters. “Unlike drugs, flower essences have no counter-indications. It’s impossible to overdose,” he says. “They work subtly yet powerful ly. I had a client with no energy. When I gave her hornbeam and tansy, she couldn’t sleep at night,” he recalls, adding that “you have to make sure the essence fits the person spot-on.” Essences have “no pharmaco logical content,” explains Lederman. “They are the ener getic, vibrational power of the flower. It’s pure vibration.”

PETAL PUSHER David Lederman discusses flower remedies with a client. sooner. “You’ll notice the effects within seven to 10 days,” he says, as she uses an eye-dropper to administer her initial dose of walnut under the tongue. “You’ll probably feel better able to get into the flow of life.” Lederman’s own life flowed from Argentina, where his Jewish parents were born, to suburban New Jersey, where he grew up. “I spoke Spanish before English,” he says. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Toronto in 1985, with a double minor in Spanish and Latin American Studies. “That and $1.50 will get you a gallon of gas,” he quips. Maybe, if prices at the pump don’t go up again. Lederman wound up in the heart of Texas oil country from 1989 to ’94, living in a Dallas apartment once occupied by Lee Harvey Oswald and employed in the distribution division o f a textbook company. But he was adept at giving mas sages, so it occurred to him that this could be a more meaningful career. “My dream was to be a massage therapist at a ski resort,” he says. T hat wish landed him in Vermont. By the time he was hired at Killington in 1998, Lederman had already begun to heed the siren call of flower essences. A teacher at the New Jersey mas sage school he attended had loaned him a book about the remedies. (His own copy of trie * Bach bible is now dog-eared and riddled with Post-It Notes.)

Inspired, he enrolled in the Montana-based International Institute of Homeopathy to study flower essence therapy while continuing, off and on, to lead a New England existence in Rutland County. Then, last summer Lederman managed to finish the correspon dence course on Santorini, also called Thira, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea “known as the world center of hedonism.” But after three months in what some people would consider paradise, he felt bored. “I was doing mas sage for tourists, and that was fairly lucrative, but I wanted a private practice,” he says. “I wanted a real home base. I want ed to come to Burlington.” Lederman completed another winter at Killington, then moved to the Queen City this spring. He’s building his clientele through brochures, newspaper advertisements and — coming soon to a computer screen near you — the Internet, In addition, he plans to teach introductory courses on flower essences at Spirit Dancer Books and Gifts on July 19, at the Fletcher Free Library on August 22 and at the Lightgate Center in Thetford the first week of September. A half-hour session with Lederman costs $30. The boom ing laughter is free. ® For more information, call David Lederman at 864-7700 or visit www.floweressence therapy.com. ■

arbie is a fashionista with hairstyles galore, but Leni Lavin’s Beautiful Bald Buddies seem to have something far more enduring: true grit. At just one foot tall, the washable cloth dolls may not be anatomi cally correct, but their handpainted faces radiate tranquility. Adorned in au courant outfits and neo-hippie headbands, they are the epitome of cool. Some even sport tattoos. And, although anyone can buy them, they’re designed to. brighten the lives of peo ple of all ages with cancer who have lost their hair to chemotherapy. W ith a hot-pink wig covering her own brown locks just for the fun of it, Lavin looks pleased as she surveys the cheerful cre ations arrayed on shelves in the light-filled work room of her Burlington house — her very own little Champlain Valley of the dolls. “They’ve changed my life entire ly,” she says. “At 55, I should be thinking of retiring, but the Bald Buddies have invigorated me. Every week, something new and wonderful happens.” More o f a passion than ’an

ordinary business venture, the enterprise began in a time of sor row. In 1999, Jane DeVoid — Lavin’s partner of 10 years in Razzmatazz, a downtown beauty salon — discovered at age 52 that cancer had spread through out her body. “Her main concern was losing her hair,” says Lavin. “She didn’t live long enough for that to happen, though. She died

them — a tricky endeavor for someone who had never really picked up a paintbrush before. A friend helped her perfect the application technique, which must be done in stages so as not to smudge the previous effort. Using old calendar photographs of Marilyn Monroe for inspira tion, she tried to make the Buddies look glamorous. When it came to clothing, Lavin — who had no sewing experi ence — taught hersell to be a seamstress. It was immediately appar ent that the dolls should have individuali ty. “I wanted to make them characters, so I chose names,” she says. “The first three were Faith, Hope and Charity. I like the fact that they’re optimistic. I don’t want the Buddies to be only about death and dying.” Faith, who looks a bit like a socialite in a string of pearls, has a tag that reads: “Sometimes I have rainy days. I just do my best. You should, too. Let’s be buddies.” Attired in earth tones, Hope’s message is: “You never know what tomorrow will bring. Tell me anything. I can keep secrets.” And Charity,

only five or six weeks after being diagnosed. But, while she was sick, I had the idea for dolls that might be comforting.” Determined to bring that kind of comfort to other ailing people, Lavin purchased blank hobby dolls at JoAnn’s Fabrics and started detailing faces on

HELLO, DOLLIES Leni Lavin with some of her creations whose “skin” is light brown, brings multiculturalism to the Buddy ranks with: “ Que pasat I’m bald and beautiful. I feel strong and blessed. Let’s be ami gos, OK?” Lavin has since added five more dolls to her line: The mus tachioed Maui Mike, in jeans and a flowery Hawaiian shirt, was modeled after her husband, Michael Heelan. Ace, a darkbrown doll in baggy pants and a T-shirt, is a rap star. Zither and Zinc are the tattooed hipsters. Bob, with a goatee, is merely described as “a neighbor guy.” Each doll also comes nestled in a cloth bag on a long cord so it can be worn around the neck like a kangaroo pouch. “Some one might want to take their Bald Buddy along when they go for chemo,” Lavin suggests. Once the dolls were perfect ed, she began donating them to places such as the Ronald McDonald House, a children’s hospital in Boston and the Red Cross. “They cost $23.98 each, but mostly I have been handing them out,” Lavin says. “I sold about 100 and gave away more than 200.” One of those 200 freebies went to Sandi Apters, now in recovery from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She spotted a Bald Buddies ad in a national maga-

zine for women with cancer. “I was going through chemo. I’d already lost my hair, which was the least of my worries, but a few months ago I contacted Leni and she sent me a Zither doll as a gift,” recounts the Yarmouthport, Massachusetts, resident. “It was adorable and made me feel better right away.” Now she has a fuzzy head of regrowth. “My husband calls me a Chia Pet,” jokes Apters, 61, who has bequeathed Zither to the treatment center where she is a patient. “It brought lots of smiles to lots of faces.” The smile on Lavin s faced* a mile wide as she acknowledges that the Bald Buddies “seem to hit a nerve. It makes me very proud.” As the demand for her dolls increased, Lavin turned to Peg Maffitt, the development director at the King Street Youth Center. Maffitt volunteered to help brainstorm fundraising schemes and streamline the Bald Buddies business plan. “I’ve used all my own money for years,” Lavin explains. She found a less expensive source for blank dolls in California; as a result, the Buddies now come with non removable underwear, “so that

Play Bald v continued from page 21a they’re never naked.” She also tapped the talents of a local woman, 80-year-old Nancy Lawrence, who can sew the clothes much faster than Lavin ever could. That’s about to change: Cornell Trading Company — the international upscale clothing chain headquartered in Burlington — will soon begin producing the dolls, their apparel and the “budbags” at an even more affordable price. “This will free me up to visit more hospitals,” Lavin says of her give-away program. “And I’d like to sell them in hospital gift shops all over the country.” \ Her connection with April Cornell, the person behind the women’s wear empire, is not a fluke. “She was a client of Jane’s,” Lavin says, “so this is something she’s doing from the heart.” Curiously, Lavin was disinter ested in dolls when she was little, and owned none. “Once, when somebody gave me one, I smashed it on the cement,” she notes. “That’s why this is so weird now.” Born in Spain and an immi grant to the United States at age 3, the bilingual Lavin had a favorite game while growing up in Barre, where her father made tombstones. She liked to style hair. “I was doing everybody’s hair when I was 5, 6, 7. I starting

perming at 10,” she recalls. In another strange twist of fate, her mother, Rafaela, died of colon cancer when Lavin was only 12. “They didn’t even have chemo then. Just morphine,” she says. Lavin was 17 when she moved to Burlington to attend the now-defunct Sheldon Beauty Academy. After working in sever al area establishments, she landed a job in 1974 at The Head Shop, the state’s first unisex salon. While employed at O ’Brien’s during the same decade, one of her responsibilities was cutting

1986. Lavin currently puts in only two days a week at Metropolitan Hair on Pearl Street so she can devote the rest of her time to Bald Buddies. “A mother in New Jersey bought some for her three chil dren while she’s going through brain cancer, so that they can relate to her baldness,” Lavin says. “Right now, I’m working on nine custom-ordered dolls for a woman who wants to give them to her grandchildren. They’ll be in white shirts and khaki pants, which is how she dresses. And I just got an e-mail request from an ovarian cancer retreat in Montana.” During the second week of August, Lavin will don her pink wig to hand out 70 Buddies to children with cancer at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta in Malletts Bay. 1 “That way, they K don’t know if I’m bald, too,” she explains. In a savvy marketing ploy, Lavin recently mailed a set of eight dolls to Oprah Winfrey. “I need that one person who really likes the Bald Buddies and will launch them nationwide,” she muses. “It can happen. I have complete faith.” N ot to mention Hope and Charity. ®

eople who have lost limbs to accidents and illness are in good hands with Roger Blanchard. As the production manager at Yankee Medical — with offices in Burlington, .Bennington, Rutland, Lebanon, Plattsburgh and W hite Junction — he’s been giving precious hope and priceless help to amputees for the past 36 years. A certified orthotist and prosthetist who wears a tie every day, Blanchard is part cobbler, part sculptor. At his workshop on North Avenue in Burlington, body parts are strewn about in vari ous positions and states of repair: plaster casts drying upside down; wooden feet awaiting titani um femurs; random hands, hooks and shoes strewn across carpenter-style benches. It’s a dis turbing scene, like something from “The Six Million Dollar M an.” But the actual cost of a prosthetic leg is much more affordable, from $3000 to $15,000. A conversation with Blanchard, 54, humanizes the business of artificial limbs.

SEVEN DAYS: How does one get into this field?

Roger Blanchard: While I was at Rice High School, I was a part of the Shriner football team. We visited the Shriner’s Hospital in Montreal, and I felt sorry for some of the kids. I thought I’d like to be able to do something to help them. Then, in 1 9 6 5 ,1 started working for Roy’s Orthopedic as a technician. It was sold to Yankee Medical in 1975, and I’ve been here ever since.

SD: The job must have special rewards. RB: I love what I do — helping someone’s quality o f life. I just read an interesting article yesterday in which a prosthetist equated limbs with tools.

When one breaks, you just replace it. Life does go on, and you’ll be able to walk again. I’m very involved with my patients. I do anything to make them happy. It does take a lot of effort and patience. It takes a very caring individual to get into this business — there’s no cut-and-dried River aspect to it.

SD: How have prosthetics changed since you got into the business? RB: Well, they used to be made out of solid wood and were very, very heavy. They weighed about 10 to 15 pounds. Now we’re able to do them with carbon fiber and titanium to make them very lightweight and durable. Also, technology is sav ing a lot of legs. And doctors are doing more par tial amputations, saving more of the leg. It seems like we’re seeing less prosthesis candidates due to [lack of] war and technology.

SD: How have patients changed? RB: Younger people used to want to hide their prosthesis. Now, they don’t mind wearing shorts that show the technology. Some people will even come in and say, “I want that foot I saw on televi sion.’T

SD: What about arms? RB: Yes, we do a few, maybe four or five a year, as well as hands and feet.

SD: Are hooks still popular? RB: They are more functional and affordable than myoelectric hands, which cost around $20,000 to $30,000. Farmers who lose their arms and hands find that they can do most everything with a hook.

SD: I guess each patient is a patient for life. RB: Yes, they have to come in for routine service. Or to adjust for shrinkage.

SD: Shrinkage? RB: The stump is always changing. The first pros thesis is temporary to allow for shrinkage. Then they come back after six months to check that there are no cracks and no skin problems. The second is more permanent. But even after 10 years, there can be shrinkage.

SD: So a good fit is the first priority? RB: Yes, you must provide total contact with no room to move around and not too much pressure. It needs to feel like a part of you.

SD: How do most people become amputees? RB: Most are from diabetes and vascular disease.

SD: Sorry to be grim, but what becomes of an amputated limb?

SD: How many amputees do you fit per year?

RB: Sometimes medical students study them.

RB: Around 100, mostly geriatric cases. That would be 80 below the knee and 20 or so above the knee.

SD: Care to share any great success stories?

SD: How long does it take to make a prosthesis? RB: Once we take a mold, within a week.

RB: All of my patients are success stories. — Nancy Stearns Bercaw

2001 Y

Inside Track gubernatorial bids next year. Its better than even money that the 2002 race won’t have a victory celebration until the Legislature arrives under the golden dome the following January. Lately, sources indicate Dr. Dean has been doing a stellar job of planting reelection hints wherever he goes. Calls have been coming in from around the state with a uniform mes sage — “He’s talking like he’s running.” We’re not buying it. Ho-Ho is one savvy dude. These repeat ed hints sound more iike an orchestrated attempt to avoid lame-duckness as much as possi ble. Disinformation, doctor? “Dean fatigue” is breaking out all over. The longer Ho-Ho sticks around, the worse he does. In 1992 Dean got just under 75 percent of the vote. That dropped to 55.6 percent by 1998 and 50.4 percent last year. Why would Ho-Ho risk his unblemished political resume on a reckless three-way race in 2002? “I think he’s trying to make a tough decision,” said Sen. Shumlin Tuesday. “On the one hand, he loves public service and has nowhere to go. If he could gracefully win reelection, he’d run, but he’s having trouble envisioning that.” Make no mistake, Shumlin is chomping at the bit, poised to launch his own gubernatorial effort. Same with Democrat Lt. Gov. Doug Racine. That opens up a real horse race for LiteGov, with everyone from Sen. Dick McCormack to Peter Welch, to Burlington’s Progressive Mayor Peter Clavelle mentioned as possible candidates. In fact, sources say that Clavelle, who’s been mayor of Burlap longer that Dean’s been governor, is itching for some thing new. That includes every thing from the state treasurer post Douglas will vacate to a run for a Chittenden County state senate seat. At present, not one of the county’s six senators resides in the state’s largest city. Shumlin, Racine, Clavelle and the rest are trying hard to be both patient and polite, but it isn’t easy. And Dean’s hints about running for reelection aren’t helping them relax. The fact is, there will be 38 governor’s races across the coun try next year. And Howard Dean of Vermont, now a sage political warhorse, is the chair man of the Democrat Governors Association’s Recruitment Committee. In the months ahead, H o-H o’s going to be socking away the fre quent-flyer miles, traveling the country to boost his party’s chances north, squth, east and west. O f course, he’ll also be selling Howard Dean, the pas sionate centrist, who cut taxes, reduced debt and provided health care for kids. Sounds like good vice-presi dential material in 2004 to us. Time to break up the log jam, eh?

Speaking of breaking log jams, there are signs of movement in the prohibition that has caused so much harm while completely failing to reduce access to “ille gal” drugs. North of the border, in response to an order by the Ontario Court of Appeals, Canada is preparing to legalize “medical marijuana” by the end of the month. In the UK, meanwhile, the debate to legalize cannabis is all over the front pages this week. Several leading British conserva tives have publicly called for an end to the pot prohibition. Former Tory cabinet minis ter Peter Lilley says the British law on cannabis use is “unen forceable and indefensible.” In these parts, however, pub licly calling for the legalization of marijuana is still considered politically unwise. Even politi cians who support it don’t dare say so in public. Such silence soothes the black marketers and protects their tax-free profits. How come the Brits and Canadians aren’t afraid?

Pedal Pushing — Burlington’s becoming quite the bicycleopolis. It’s not unusual to find downtown bike racks full to capacity. Word is the brilliant new bike ferry is going gangbusters. Ridership has exceeded projections in the first two weeks, with 2500 passengers crossing the mouth of the Winooski River. Chapin Spencer, Progressive city councilor and director of Local Motion (www.localmotionvt.org), said folks on the Colchester side are using the bike ferry like crazy. Quite a pleasant change from the days when the ferry was a dream and a few unpleasant folks on the Colchester side fought tooth and nail against it. Spencer and Local Motion partner Brian Costello of Colchester deserve a standing O for their persistence in boosting people-powered transportation. Pedaling out on the Colchester Causeway into the heart of Lake Champlain is a one-of-a-kind biking experience. It’s the Holy Grail of bike trails. P.S. Another round of applause goes to the work crew from the Woodside Juvenile Rehabilitation Center. The supervised juvenile offenders d i d all the heavy lifting, getting the giant wooden boardwalk on the Colchester side in place. Media Notes — Finally! The Valley News, the daily newspaper that serves folks in the Upper Connecticut River Valley, has at long last started posting a little bit of news content on its Web site (www.vnews.com). Check it out and read Jim Kenyon’s excellent series on the have-nots of the upscale Upper Valley, as well as Alex Hanson’s month long coverage of the mess at the Vermont Department of Taxes. Let’s hope this is just the tip of the iceberg as the Valley News finally enters the Cyber Age.® E-mail Peter at Inside Track VT@aol. com

ANIMAL SOUNDS Did you know the expression “dog days of summer” derives from an annual mid-season conjunction with Sirius, the “dog star?” This month, that celestial cir cumstance is provoking more than wilted hairdos and perspiration. Craig Bailey, host of the weekly Pink Floyd tribute show on Champ 101.3, called “The Floydian Slip,” is going all out with a special program July 22. W hat’s so special about it? “The Dog Days of Summer” show will spin three recordings of the band’s 17minute epic entitled — what else? — “Dogs.” Appropriately, the tune was first released on Floyds 1977 Animals album. Listeners will hear that ver sion as well as a live one from PF cofounder Roger Waters and a newer one from Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade. Claypool, as some of you know, is from Primus, and was in Vermont earlier this year recording a song with Trey Anastasio of Phish and ex-Police drummer Stewart Copeiand, under the moniker Oysterhead. But that’s another story Tune in to “Dog Days” and find out how you can win a copy of Live Frogs. LOUD AND PROUD The industrialmetal duo Chainsaws and Children are taking their big tech-core death-

grip on the road this summer. Dubbed “Electrohell 2001,” the 16city tour goes coast-to-coast and includes a repeat performance at the geek gathering DEFCO N in Las Vegas. August 4, the heavy homeboys do it up ar Big Heavy World’s “Hellbender” bash — BHW is also rhe label for CAC’s _dacd_ disc. While their music, if not their name, may strike fear in the hearts of some moms and dads, Chainsaws are acquiring industry cred at warp speed. They’ve contributed tracks to extreme sporr videos, sport telecasts and MTV, as well as to a couple gen erations of NOM AD portable MP3 players. This month, the Web site www.acidplanet.com will host a remix contest for their song “Scream Johnny Scream.” (The ACID PRO 3.0 is a loop-based tool for making “royaltyfree” music.) Appropriately, perhaps, CAC will wind up their summer September 5 at the legendary CBGB’s in New York City. Now there’s a venue that venerates volume. ROCK ON? Speaking of volume, the Danville-based Harsh Abrasives have hosted a couple of punk shows at Higher Ground, featuring acts from around the region. “It’s shows we’d like to see, bringing bands kids

around here know but don’t necessari ly have access to,” explains Ryan Dauphin of HA. Problem is, the attendance has been disappointing. The next show July 22 brings Meat Depressed and Boxingwater from Massachusetts, Jonee Earthquake Band from New Hampshire, and CheuX and The Harsh Abrasives from Vermont. The club owners have been supportive, Dauphin says, but “if we don’t get a couple hundred people we can’t use the venue anymore.” He adds that the all-ages shows are early on Sundays, so as not to compete with events at 242 Main. So if you want maximum rock ’n’ roll around here, kids, let’s have a show of hands, and feet, July 22 at Higher Ground. UP THE ROAD A PIECE Most people think of Caspian Lake as a nice, quiet, restful haven from noise, stress and pretty much all the distractions of modern life. Well, that’s about to change. For one night, anyway, edi fied presents has booked enough musical action at the Caspian Lake Grange in Greensboro to funk the place up but good. The roving rural parties collectively called The Town Hall and Grange Series feature The edified all-stars, which despite the self-effacing lower-case name are said to groove in all caps, and a bunch of talented high-schoolers with the no frills moniker The Montpelier Funk Trio Friday night. And not so far away the same evening, Vermont poet Geoff Hewitt and his musical com panion Chuck Meese will read and play over at the Music Box in Craftsbury Village. So unless you have triskaidekaphobia, suggests Hewitt, come on out for Friday the 13th. Oh, and speaking of the evolving Music Box, it’s hosting a series of

But that’s not all: At the Higher Ground show, all o f ’em — Five Seconds Expired, Wreckinghorn, S.T.M.P., The Magic Is Gone, Ninja Death Squad, Suffer the M asses and Absolute Zero — also have tracks on an upcoming compilation CD that will in turn benefit 242 Main. So it’s, like, a preCD release party, too. Saturday night at the Thirsty Turtle in Waterbury, Solomonic Sound System, One Love Reggae Band and guest deejays skank the town red for NICK4KIDS, a non profit that provides medical and edu cational aid to children in Jamaica. T hat one includes dinner. Irie. SINGLE TRACKS There aren’t any Vermont names on the performers’ list for this year’s Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in Ancramdale, New York. But Burlington guitarist Andy Greene, late of Breakaway, will be hosting guitar and songwriting work shops there. O ne of the biggest bluegrass fests in the country — formerly called W interhawk — it takes place July 19-22 (info, 1-888-946-8495 or www.GreyFoxBluegrass.com) . . . Nobby Reed Project won the first round of Boston’s Battle of the Blues Bands last week and return next July 18 for the finals. If they win that, it’s off to the nationals in Memphis. Good luck! ®

GIVEN GROOVE, KING OF THE WORLD (self-released, CD) -— If I had to compare Given Groove to anoth er band, the obvious choice would be Hootie and the Blowfish. This is either a compliment or an insult, depending on your musical sensibilities. For one thing, singer Paul Douse sounds an awful lot like Darius Rucker of Hootie fame. There’s a nice touch o f whiskey in his voice, even a certain Joe Cocker touch. The trait I find grating is his tendency to pack every syllable with aching, soulful passion. It’s fine for a song or two, but after 30 minutes the drama wears thin. And with a decided lack of instrumental breaks, Douse works overtime throughout the 11 songs. Percussionist Larry Pyne has a similar tendency to overdo it. W ith a three-piece band, there’s an under standable instinct to make a lot of noise. However, the great ones know that sometimes the space between the notes is a more potent tool. Mike Pelkey on bass guitar is the maverick in this band, quietly plying the simple rhythms that move this disc along. A sheet of song lyrics is not included with this CD, and Douses articulation doesn’t always offer lis teners a vocal alternative. But from the phrases I could decipher, the focus is usually the difficulty of romantic relationships, the mystery of a woman and

that kind of thing. Hardly new terrain. Recorded, mixed and mastered locally at Eclipse Studio, the production values are professional. Clearly, recording engineers Joe Egan and Aaron Flinn know how to turn the dials the right way. The songs are well-practiced and move along without a hitch. If you were to hear this playing in a public place, you might even think it was a nationally known groove-rock band. But for all the attempts to squeeze out another drop of soul, I found this collection of songs to be strangely vanilla. “Pick Up the Phone” is, briefly, a welcome change of pace, and “For Real” is a bit of a rocker. However, the songs generally flow together into one sound, one pace, one melody and very little variation. It really does come down to that Hootie and the Blowfish litmus test. If you found “Only Want to Be W ith You” to be one of the great songs of the ’90s, then Given Groove might be worth a spin. Find out when GG play Sweetwaters this Friday. — Kirt Zimmer GILLIAN WELCH, TIME (THE REVELATOR) (Acony, GD) — Gillian Welch has not performed in Vermont before, to the best of my knowledge. So when she and long-time instrumental partner David Rawlings come to Higher Ground this Thursday, music fans will have a, rare chance to hear the “real thing.” I have to admit that, in this case, the real thing is part illusion. Welch, with her long, lean look, doesn’t have to work too hard to remind you of a Dorothea Lange photograph from the 1930s. Her plaintive vocals and spare arrangements sound almost like they were penned and burned into wax 50 years ago in the deep South, or maybe out in the Dust Bowl, Like Iris Dement — another outrageously talent ed vocalist and songwriter who has appeared at Higher Ground — Welch writes poignant material that, though gently arranged and softly sung, knocks you over the head and leaves you reeling. She’s a con spicuous vocal presence on the top-selling soundtrack to last year’s Coen brothers film, O Brother, Where

A rt Thou?— an amazingly popular compilation of classic country and old-timey material produced by acoustic music genius T-Bone Burnett. Welch is equally convincing and singular whether singing her own material or songs made famous by Ralph Stanley or the Carter Family. O n her latest recording, Time (the Revelator), she continues along the path that she has blazed on her two previous albums, Tradition and Hell Among the Yearlings, also produced by Burnett. All the numbers on Time are originals. On “I Want to Sing That Rock r.nd Roll,” the feeling that . comes across is actually of some old-timey star lamenting the rise of new, upstart music that’s mak ing it hard for players of the “good old stuff” to get any gigs. The song was recorded live at the fabled Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, original home of the Grand Old Opry. “Dear Someone” is a classic slow-dance number just custom-made for Patsy Cline. “Red Clay Halo” is an up-tempo number that could have been penned by the Delmore Brothers. It all sounds so right. If I gave stars, this record ing would get lots of them. If you like Hazel and Alice, or M other Maybelle, or even Tammy Wynette, you’re going to want this disc. — Robert Resnik

B y Marc A wodey ompartmentalization is a dominant theme in G. Roy Levin’s installation of 60 assemblage pieces, collectively enti tled “Detritus Diary 1979-2001.” It’s one of three distinct bodies of work presented in his exhibition, “G. Roy Levin Objects,” at the Flynndog Gallery this month. Levin is not only a visual artist; he is an educator, author, playwright and director of stage and screen. So the need to organize things into neat little boxes may be more than just an obsessive impulse; it may be a matter of survival for the multifac eted Plainfield artist. In addition to “Detritus Diary,” the show comprises a group of 16 figure paintings, entitled “Slatted Red Nudes,” and a free-standing family of life-sized figures, entitled “Cloth’d Pin’d: A Woman’s Work is Never Done.” All of Levin’s pieces are precisely executed, and his drawing style and repetitive, found-materials approach refer to folk-art sensibilities. Also, by making large-scale pieces out of From “Detritus Diary,” by G. Roy Levin multiples, he suggests that “the process” of art is more important daughter snorting cocaine, and a son with a than attempting to express a great epiphany in a revolver at his temple.

SEVEN DAYS

july 11, 2001

HORROR BULL The Wayans brothers take sibling ribaldry to new depths in this frightful, offensive sequel; SCARY MOVIE 2 (no stars) “No mercy. No shame. No sequel.” That was the tag line used in ads for the Wayans brothers’ first horror spoof, and all I can say is, mercy, what a shame they didn’t keep that promise. As perfectly horrible as Freddy Got Fingered may have been — and until now it had the inside track on Worst Picture of the Year — that was pure com edy bliss compared with this juvenile, tasteless, vir tually humor-free assault on the senses. Keenen Ivory Wayans directs the second installment based on a script by younger brothers Marlon and Shawn. Where the original offered an inspired send-up of slasher films like Scream and / Know What You D id Last Summer, Scary Movie 2 makes mindless, scattershot fun of the hauntedhouse genre. It tosses in references to everything from Charlie’s Angels and Dude, Where’s My Car? to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for no apparent reason other than keeping the picture as up-tothe-minute as possible. The filmmakers should have worried more about keeping it as funny as possible. The story reunites characters from the first film — including one who died in it — a number of years later as they take part in an experiment being conducted by a college professor. Tim Curry costars. He invites a group of young people to spend a weekend in a vast, spook-inhabited man sion known as Hell House. He’s rigged the place with cameras and mikes, “Big Brother”-style, in order to record his subjects’ responses to paranor mal phenomena as well as to, you know, spy on the women when they take showers. Among the additions to the cast this time is

Chris Elliott, who turns up in the role of the estate’s repulsive butler. His character is pretty much an incarnation of everything that’s wrong with this picture. It’s not enough that he has a grotesquely deformed hand. W hen he serves din ner, he has to plunge it pointlessly into the mashed potatoes, cream pie and stuffed turkey, then lick his disfigured fingers, to the revulsion of his guests. He’s not done with the turkey yet, though. While babbling a non-humorous stream of psy chotic nonsense, he proceeds to place the defense less turkey on his manhood and thrust into it repeatedly before finally carving and serving the poor bird, as everyone present bolts from the table in utter disgust. The whole movie is like that. Skit follows skit connected by the wispiest of plotlines. Most aren’t clever, shrewdly observed or even remotely funny. Most are merely gross. It’s as though the Wayans brothers forgot that what made the original film work was their ability to recognize various genre cliches and turn them on their head comically for the first time ever. The fact is that the studio financing the sequel actually commissioned it at the premiere of the first Scary Movie and pressured the brothers to throw together a follow-up quickly enough for the second film to take advantage of the first’s popularity. In their haste, the Wayanses wound up substituting throw-away gross-out gags for the kind of keenly concocted bits which made the original so much fun. The result is a feeble-minded festival of potty humor so desperately lewd, rude and crude it makes the Farrellys look like prudes by comparison. And like comic geniuses. ®

bop culture

sOUnd

Bebop took the jazz world by storm in the ’40s with its harmonic complexity, convo luted melodic lines, constant shifting of accents, wild improvisation and often rapid tempo. The uniquely American sound reached the ears of Barry Harris, who had been playing piano since age 4 in his native Detroit. The Motor City man liked what he heard from Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and Charlie Parker, and went on to gig with the likes of Max Roach, Cannonball Adderly, Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis, Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young. Also a noted teacher, 72-year-old Harris — a recent inductee into the American Jazz Hall of Fame — goes solo in a Vermont per formance. . Barry Harris: Thursday, July 12.

french fry The French Revolution made the American one look like a pique-nique. Ten days after the celebration of American Independence, Bastille Day marks the 1879 storming of a reviled prison — after which the masses toppled the monarchy then represented by Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. In Vergennes, a daylong celebra tion of Franco-American and Quebecois heritage is slightly more civilized, featuring food, an evening con cert with Chanterelle and gargons from Christophe’s on the Green running around town balancing bottles of Perrier. Let them eat ... escargots?

Indian summer

Red Square Thursd ay, p .28a

A $5000 prize might seem like a lot for perfect pork ribs, but not if you are a judge in the First Annual Harpoon New England Barbecue Championships. The meat maestros — from Kansas City — pick win ners in four categories: chicken, ribs, pork and brisket. All this cooking, which takes place on outdoor grills made by Vermont Castings, is accompanied by live music from the Nobby Reed Project and The Seth Yacovone Blues Band. On Sunday, a “Catamount Cook-Off” involves dishes made with beer. Thanks to Harpoon, there’ll be plenty more where that came from all weekend.

This might be the ultimate paranoid scenario: An Army colonel conducts a secret gov ernment experiment with two soldiers in an underground fortress. Dogs o f War, a new play by Keefe Healy, explores fears of nuclear holocaust and thoughts about post-apocalyptic genesis. Along with his director wife, Suzanne Mackay, he is a veteran of several Edinburgh Fringe Festivals. Learn — along with the privates — the con nection between stale crackers, women’s underwear and the ability to cast off humanity and become a better soldier.

Hollywood never focused much on New England Indians. So it may come as a surprise that the Northeast is.home to the Abenaki, Pequot, Mohawk, Mohegan, Huron, Wampanoag, Passamaquoddy, Micmac and Penobscot tribes. Representatives from these indigenous groups make tracks to Vermont for the Shelburne Museum’s Annual Native American PowWow for a weekend of storytelling, crafts, singing, flute music, drumming and dancing. A few Western tribes are expected to make the journey, too — but no Indian ponies, unfortunately, are allowed. Intertribal Pow-Wow: Saturday and Sunday, July 14 & 15. Shelburne Museum.

Dear Cecil, I ’ve heard that the Mir space station was being consumed by a mysterious steel- and plastic-eating space fungus and that this was why whole sections o f it were closed o ff Is there any truth to this? I f so, does this mean, now that Mir has reentered the atmosphere, that the Earth has been exposed to this plague from space? — Jay Vollmer

It’s worse than you think. We’re not just talking about metal eating space fungus — we’re talking, potentially, about m utant metal-eating space fungus. Some see in this a cautionary tale about the bizarre dangers awaiting us in outer space. I see the inevitable result o f letting unescorted males run a space station for 14 years. W hat’s the story, comrades — you never clean out the fridge? The fungal infestation came to light in 1988, when M ir inhabi tants noticed that a porthole was obscured by what one alarmist described as “an unknown film that was spreading like some horrormovie scum.” Closer examination revealed green-and-black encrusta tions behind control panels, inside air ducts, and in other nooks and crannies throughout the spacecraft. The stuff didn’t literally eat metal and plastic but did give off corro sive chemicals such as acetic acid. Acetic acid is basically vinegar, so one doesn’t want to become unnec essarily alarmed. Still, the acid p it - . ted M irs titanium, plastic and glass, suggesting that the spacecraft’s structural integrity might be threat ened if the fungus were left unchecked. The fungus was no exotic invad er from space but ordinary terrestri al organisms brought up by visitors from Earth. It wasn’t the first infes tation found aboard a spacecraft,

either — fungus had been found earlier on the Salyut space sta tions. Samples from M ir were brought back down for testing, and eventually more than a hundred species o f fungus were identified, the most com mon being Penicillium chrysogenum. The smart thing to do at this point would have been to send in a couple babushkas (dirtophobic Russian grandmothers) and 10 liters o f Mr. Clean. But no. W hile space program bosses did ship up dis infectant, the administration was left to the (male) cosmonauts, with predictable results: The fungus was kept under control but never eradicated. Visitors to M ir often commented on the odor o f mildew that pervaded the place. Meanwhile, back on the ground, biologists began to fret that even worse things could happen. Since the space station’s expo sure to cosmic radiation was 500 times more intense than what we experience on Earth, the fungus might mutate into something more virulent. People began envisioning blobs o f protoplasm asphyxiating the cosmonauts as they slept. It never got that bad, o f course. The main problem from a practical standpoint was that the fungus oxidized electrical contacts, which in at least one case caused a communications device to malfunction. There’s no evi dence that the fungus actually mutated (although some scientists noted an unusual aggressiveness). Nor did it make anybody sick or cause other severe problems. Last year Russian space expert Yuri Karash raised one last specter o f doom: The fungus might survive the heat o f M irs reen try and infect the Earth! This doesn’t seem to have been taken too seriously, and I haven’t seen any reports o f dire consequences since pieces o f the dilapidated spacecraft crashed into the Pacific last March. But it’s been only a few months. Fungus was hardly the worst o f M irs many problems. Whatever one may think o f men’s housekeeping practices, some fungal infestation is inevitable in a spacecraft occupied for long periods. Keeping the stuff from being carried aboard is close to impossible, and it can live on nothing more than flaked-off skin. Even fumigating a spacecraft with toxic gas wouldn’t kill it all. Scientists took what precautions they could when launching the International Space Station. All shipments to the station are disin fected, astronauts.periodically clean everything thoroughly, the humidity is strictly controlled, high-efficiency filters purify the air and so on. But I bet when they look between the tiles in the shower stalls they still find that black crud.

Of course it’s not true, Karen. That’s why I took the precaution of impregnating your suntan lotion bottle with poison ivy juice.

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19):

Would you cover your eyes to shut out the darkness? O f course not. Would you close your mouth to protest injustice? Hell, no. So please, Aries, as your need to be touched grows to fever-pitch intensity, don’t stop reaching out. I’m not talking about begging and groveling. But the weird thing is that you w ill end up begging and groveling at a later date if you try to repress your awesome longings now. The best approach is to adapt the Goldilocks strategy: Find the middle ground between despera tion and aloofness.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-M ay 20): W hat fun is your hard-earned stabili ty unless every once in a while you bite off more than you can chew, dive in over your head and drown your cliches in a flood o f outrageously mixed metaphors? I do want to warn you, however, as you warm to the fer tile possibilities o f sprawling and careening, to be a wise fool, not just a fool.

Since you first started your reincarna tion cycle millennia ago, you’ve prob ably never had a more comfy lifetime than your current one. I can under stand why you’ve opted for relative peace and quiet this time around, considering that in your past lives you endured so much in the way o f war, poverty, natural disasters and political tyranny. But I fear that maybe you’ve now gone a little too far in the direction o f cozy conve nience and soothing snugness, Cancerian. Luckily, my analysis o f your astrological omens reveals that

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I urge you to stir up a flurry o f

self-critique, Aquarius, but not an orgy o f self-doubt. The object is to ease yourself out o f your unconscious bad habits, not to pummel yourself for honest mistakes. As for which unconscious bad habit you might start with, may I suggest the glitch in the way you balance giving and tak ing? Fixing it will allow you to attract more love into your life. For inspira tion, devour this poem, “The Sun Never Says,” by the Sufi mystic poet Hafiz: “Even/After/All this tim e/The sun never says to the earth/’You owe m e.’/Look/W hat happens/W ith a love like that,/It lights up the/W hole/Sky.”
