ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE THAT OLD BLACK

MAGIC

Religious leaders in South Africa's Northern Province scheduled a conference on witchcraft to educate rural people on the subject. More than 100 suspected witches were stoned, beaten or bludgeoned to death in the province last year, and hundreds more fled to refugee camps. • Special precautions were taken at Cairo International Airport for two men being extradited to Qatar. The suspects, Siddiq Adam el Haii, 52, and Ahmed Adam Ali, 48, were accused of being master sorcerers who used black magic to obtain $30 million from Qatari businessmen. : Egypt's Middle East News Agency reported Qatari security men insisted the suspects be blindfolded before boarding the flight because they feared the pair would "throw a spell" on the plane. • A Newsweek magazine poll showed that two out of three Americans believe in the existence of Satan, and that 37 percent of those polled said they had actually been tempted by the devil. Among evangelical Protestants who were asked, 85 percent said they believed in the devil, and 61 percent

FOOD TO me uescue In Sri Lanka, a would-be rapist fled in pain after the intended victim threw a bottle j of chili sauce over his naked body. The Colombo Daily News reported that before the 62year-old suspect was arrested, he "remained several hours under

water in great pain. • In Pompano Beach, Florida, Izzie Rotterman, 81, and Gloria Lepcio, 55, were entering a restaurant when a man | grabbed Lepcios purse. As the attacker tried to flee, however, Rotterman beat him over the I head with a half-pound Vidalia onion, causing him to drop the purse. Rotterman explained later he carried a Vidalia onion whenever he dined out because it was easier to digest than regular onions. ' NO. 3T JEKRY LEWIS-SAN? A recent survey in France

HOT ON THe TRAIL The introduction of the Lojack automobile tracking device to Hong Kong last year has resulted in some unusual requests for its services, according to the South China Morning Post. After its installation, the device is activated if a car is m stolen or towed and sends a high-frequency radio signal to pinpoint its location. "We get requests from husbands and wives to track their partners," said Shirley Lo Sheung-yuk of Lojack Network, the Hong Kong licensee for the U.S.made product. Other requests to use the device for personal surveillance also have come from companies eager to keep track of their workers, • Speaking of keeping tabs on people: In Italy, Tuscan watchmaker Fabrizio Caselli introduced a special coffin for peopie who fear they'll be buried prematurely. The $4500 casket is equipped with a two-way microphone-speaker, a flash-

theater, but a unique experience which cannot be forced into the usual format when reviewing theatrical offerings. It is, in fact, a spoof on mysteries, and includes the zany antics of characters as well as songs from Italian opera to "Makin' Whoopie," all in a freewheeling evening of fun that does not necessarily conform to any rules. From her review, it would seem that Ms. Rubin does not care for this form of theater, which is her right. However, whether she likes it or At 72, Unadilla Theatre meister Bill Blachly is not about not, it is still required by her work as a critic that any show be approached with the same eye for fairness to act his age and correctness as any other.

It is, in fact, a picture of him in this role that is passed around in our show to inform the audience about the former life of one of the characters. This is what is referred to by Ms. Rubin as "a cheap shot at drag queens." How could this picture, part of the show as it is (and part of an actor's proud jgk ^ SIGN OFF history), be considered a cheap shot? t/lJI I would like to respond to Dave In a sea kayak, the lake is your oyster Ms. Rubin also cites a line from the show as being ^mmr Pell's response (Weekly Mail, July By M i c h a e l T a p p l y . p a g e 19 something else that cannot be ignored, inferring that 3) to my letter concerning the car it was either in bad taste or not acceptable language. ;-> % bumping incident which occurred Her "choice nugget" was taken completely out of conduring the 1994 congressional text by her omitting the beginnning and the end of a ^iliWpr campaign.

Freyne paints Essex Junction trustee Ron Court as some sort of Sir Galahad or Mr. Deeds, selflessly fighting rich, powerful and arrogant IBM on behalf of the so-called "little people." Mr. Court is a real estate agent and as such he makes his living selling houses. Now the more of the local tax burden that can be shifted to IBM, the less the taxes will be on private residences. The lower the taxes on private residences, the more attractive Essex Junction will become as a place to buy a house. The more that people buy houses in Essex Junction, the richer Mr. Court will become. That Freyne so lavishly contenances Courts blatent pursuit of his personal self-interest causes one to wonder if Freyne is becoming naive or losing his pixyish cynism. — Raymond Leary Shelburne

Here's the EP version of the story you heard,relatedto me by AOL user BMaffitt: "There was a Discovery Channel special on this a while back. Hie truth is, after a few floors it doesn'treallymatter [how far the cat falls], as long as the oxygen holds out. Cats have a nonfatal terminal velocity (sounds like a contradiction in terms, but most small animals have this advantage). Once they orient themselves, they spread out like a parachute.

of cats that had fallen out of high-rise windows aid were brought to the Animal Medical Center, a New York veterinary hospital, for treatment. On average the cats fell 5.5 stories, yet 90 percent survived. (Many did suffer serious injuries.) Well,, we know cats have exceptional coordination and balance, so maybe that contributed to the high survival rate. One cat, for example, is known to have survived a 46story fall. (It apparently bounced off a canopy and into a planter.)

Cruise the Burlington bike path on a "Chicago B i c y c l e " rental, available at the Ferry Dock.

But here's the weird part. When the vets analyzed the data theyfoundthat, as one would expect, the number of broken bones and other injuries increased with the number of stories the cat had fallen - up to seven stories. Above seven stories, however, the number of injuries per cat sharply declined. In other words, the farther the cat fell, the better its chances of escaping serious injury. The authors explained this seemingly miraculousresultby saying that after falling five stories or so the catsreacheda terminal velocity - that is, maximum downward speed - of 60 miles per hour. Thereafter, they hypothesized, the catsrelaxedand spread themselves out like flying squirrels, minimizing injuries. This speculation is now widely accepted as fact.

|THE BORIS YELTSIN CONNECTION Sure, it looks bad. Republican hopeful I Susan Sweetser is 20 points behind Bernie | Sanders in the latest Becker Poll (which, if anything, leans Republican). Even if Susie ® Creamcheese picked up all the undecided vot| ers, she'd still get her clock cleaned. And most | disturbing is the fact that her negatives have Jj doubled since she started saturating the air1 waves with her "Susie is a Star!" TV spots. But it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings, and I Sweetser has one very big ace up her sleeve — 8 Dresner-Wickers. Those are her political con| sultants, Dave Dresner and Bob Wickers, and | they are the same guys credited with imple® menting "the tools of modern campaigns, 1 including the trickery and slickery Americans | know so well" to engineer the miraculous ^ comeback of Boris Yeltsin. Last week's Time i magazine laid it all out in what has to be the | political story of the decade: how American I political spin doctors were secretly slipped into 1 Moscow to get the most despised man in Russia I re-elected. Wickers told Inside Track the stuff in | Time was accurate, and then some! They did it by getting the electorate to fear a communist i redux so much it outweighed their antipathy 1forBoris, the big sellout. | Now they've got Sweetser playing the role of the "mad as hell and not going to take it any1 more" candidate. She's trying to out-scream | Sanders. She's the angriest person in Vermont. ~ Can't wait for the negative ads to come. It's her I only chance. When you're 20 points behind you've got to start | swinging. "What's Bernie afraid of?" is the phrase that begins 1 every paragraph. Believe me, Boris Yeltsin's political consultants know what they're doing. But does what works in Russia | work here? 1 Obviously Dresner-Wickers s ain't perfect. They're the outfit that bounced a $6000 check at - W G O P - T V — sorry, WCAXs TV — last month paying for 1 Susie Creamcheese's campaign | spots. The Associated Press I moved the story on the afternoon wire Monday, forcing 1 Marselis Parsons to report it | Monday evening. "We didn't know about it until Thursday 1 night," Parsons said. "I'm still trying to figure out what the I hell happened. Someone tipped 1 Ap " Tough to get beat on a I story that happened in your j own building. Sweetser blew her stack on I WDEV Monday. "This is noth| ing but irresponsible journalI ism," barked Susie. "It certainly - shows the bias on [AP's] part." Biased? Wickers owned up to the bounced § check, but on Tuesday Sweetser was still refusing to accept responsibility for either the screwI up by her paid consultant, or her short fuse and outrageous attack on the messenger. "The comI ment," she said, "came out of anger and frustra1 tion." But she refused to take it back. She did | say she called AP Monday night and apologized I to bureau chief Christopher Graff. She has yet / to apologize to the reporter, Anne Wallace Allen. Reporters just love being called biased | and irresponsible by politicians. It makes life worth living.

Feeding at the Public Trough — Inside Track | has obtained the legislative payroll for the | recently completed fiscal year, and for the second straight year Burlington Democrat John I Tracy has won the Tin Cup Awardforbeing | the lowest-paid lawmaker in Montpelier. I According to figures obtained from the state's ® payroll division, Rep. Tracy collected just | $11,064, of which $2559 covered expenses: | mileage, meals and lodging. It's all done on the J honor system, and Mr. Tracy evened claimed 1 less in expenses than he was legally entitled to | collect. The highest paid House member was Rep. S Ann Seibert of Norwich ($20,396), and Sen. | Vince Illuzzi took the title in the upper body I ($21,187). Both serve on special committees ^ that meet in the off season. Other local lawI makers of note: Rep. Ben Rose ($11,923), Rep.

Dean Corren ($12,141), Rep. Rene Blanchard ($13,079), Rep. Terry Bouricius ($13,095), Rep. Bill Aswad ($14,582), Rep. Jim McNamara ($13,724), Rep. Karen Lafayette ($13,657), Rep. Mary Sullivan ($15,514), Rep. Ann Hallowell ($13,086), Rep. Michael Flaherty ($13,225). Rep. Ann Pugh ($12,632), Sen. Dennis Delaney ($15,777), Sen. Jack Barry ($12,813), Sen. Richard Mazza ($13,998), Sen. Sara Gear ($16,816), Sen. Susan Sweetser ($16,608), Sen. Jean Ankeney ($14,881), and Sen. Helen Riehle ($16,920). A Dose of His Own Medicine — Last Friday the John McKenzie Packing Co. had a little todo to unveil their new logo. Governor Howard Dean and Sen. Patrick Leahy were among the dignitaries present. The McKenzie plant is located in Burlington's South End near the railroad tracks, and when Ho-Ho was called on for a few appropriate remarks, wouldn't you know a freight train rolled by blaring its horn and completely drowning out the state's number-one champion of commuter rail service. "Now I know what they're complaining about in Shelburne," quipped our governor. Later HoHo pointed out that when the commuter train starts running, each crossing will be equipped I with warning horns which are not as loud as the ones on the train. Jack Longshot Update — Vermont's premier political victim, Burlington lawyer Jack Long, continues to experience hard times. Jacko's the only announced Democratic candidate for OP Bernardo's seat, but Democrats continue to shy away from him. (Bad breath?) Monday the Democrats running for Chittenden County state senate seats gathered at the Courthouse for a photo-op. How many are supporting Jack Longshot? Nary a one. Jan Backus, Jean Ankeney, Dave Curtis, Joey Donovan, Bruce Cunningham, Janet Munt, Ted Kenney, and Michael Yantachka declared their support for Mr. Sanders. Jack Barry was the only one holding back. He said he hadn't yet made a commitment. And Joey Donovan said she expects Ol' Bernardo to win the Democratic primary. Can you say "write-in?" The Usual Suspects — Monday 15 protesters gathered outside The Burlington Free Press to hold signs and chant, "Hey hey! Ho ho! Union busting has got to go!" The local union effort was busted long ago. Monday's protest was called to mark the one-year anniversary of the great Detroit newspaper strike. Gannett's one of the players. Funny thing about the protesters — they resembled the bunch that protested Dick Armey's appearance at the Sheraton. Among the group were The Self-Righteous Brothers, Ellen David Friedman, Chris Wood and Sally and David Conrad. Mayor Peter Clavelle walked by on the opposite side of the street on his way to a workout at the "Y." He waved, gave a thumbs-up sign and kept walking. Sandy Sits One Out — Burlington Rep. Sandy Baird is not seeking re-election. The Burlington lawyer has gone to work for Vermont Lawline, an organization that helps low-income people represent themselves in court. It also provides legal advice over the phone — 1-800 6398857. Good News on Hospital Hill — Inside Track continues to hear horror stories from Mary Fanny employees. But there is a silver lining in this cloud — the consensus is that things will improve under the reign of the new Big Boss, Bill Gilbert. Why? Because everybody says, "It can't get worse than this!" No question, it really sticks in everybody's craw that Gilbert has zippo hospital experience. Funny how the press release announcing his ascension to the throne omitted the 10 years he worked the Statehouse hallways and committee rooms as the best-dressed hiredgun business lobbyist under the golden dome. It's the old, "I'm not a real doctor but I played one on TV" approach to hospital management. But remember — things will get better. • W 8SS* i M was

NEXT WAVE:

It was out-of-body for awhile there on WXPSFM. The Pulse — which has been beating steadily from its tpwer in Westport — offered no other vital signs, "Don't try to contact us," the voice on the radio warned listeners for weeks before its official launch on Monday. Then finally, the station surfaced in all its Gen X glory — the younger, sassier sister station of Champ 101.3. "A lot of people have been talking about it. Now somebody has actually done it," programming director Chris Fleming says of Burlington's first "modern rock" station devoted exclusively to new and local music. The merger comes in the wake of two other major radio consolidations. WIZN-FM bought B100, expanding its classic rock empire to 150,000 watts. Then WNCS bought up WRJT in White River Junction to create The Point — that eclectic, album-oriented rock is here to stay. 96.7 is after the 18-to-34 crowd — "people who don't stay home and smoke the six-foot bong anymore," Fleming offers. The 24year-old Hartford transplant hasn't been around long enough to realize some of Vermont's biggest potheads listen to Pearl Jam, Green Day and the Butthole Surfers. As for the competition, he exhibits t h e same fresh attitude as his station, which already sports some great slogans like "We suck —less." How will his station compare to The Point? "My music has guitars in it," Fleming snipes. His best shots, however, are aimed at another local radio station. One on-air promotion warns in public-service speak, "Friends don't let friends listen to the Wizard." He seems unfazed by WIZN's three recent Billboard nominations, including Station of the Year. Of course his Pulse may quicken slighdy when the Wizard announces programming plans for its second signal across the lake. Thump, thump.

TOO M A N Y ACTORS:

Green Candle Theater is put out. The local troupe was scheduled to perform the first two weeks of August at Burlington City Hall Auditorium — until it was informed the venue was also promised to the Mamet-made Adantic Theater Company. Green Candle had secured the space nine months before. And, unlike the New Yorkers, had a signed contract confirming it. "A series of slaps in the face" is how spokesman Stephen Sharp describes the current Contois crisis. "I cannot in good conscience negotiate a situation with city officials who knowingly violate their own policies," Sharp wrote in his third letter requesting intervention by Mayor Peter Clavelle. "We were told that we would simply have to settle for "second best." More like financial compensation. Plenty of room at Memorial.

SEVEN DAYS

IN BRIEF: A grand larceny charge goes a long way in the performing arts business. Former Memorial Auditorium manager David Archer was last spotted in New York, where he did a brief public relations stint at the Big Apple Circus. Love that disappearing act. . . .Ben & Jerrys got a bit of ink last Sunday in the London tabloids. The Mail sent reporter Allan Piper, who got the distinct impression the company has plans to move beyond ice cream and sorbet into a "new area" of non-confection. Keeping with the frozen-fat theme, Piper votes for pizza. . . .The big cheese at the New England Culinary Institute is calling it quits. Senior vice-presiT | f | i m n dent and pastry chef Jim I IIUIII|Jf Dodge is leaving Vermont for Boston, • " F i l l 11111"! where he will run the UIUIIIIJb restaurants at the Museum of Fine Arts. The clientele ranges from crime de Id crime to bus tours and families. Dodge sees it as a great opportunity to make the connection between food and art. . . .The New England Foundation for the Arts coughed up $235,500 for visual artists this year — of 40 fellowships, two went to Vermonters. The lucky arists are Lynn Newcomb of Norwich and Burlington artist Janet Fredericks. . . Nothing lofty about cutting the grass. Except when Middlebury prof David Haward Bain writes about it. Bain waxes poetic about the pleasures of Iawncare in the current issue o$ Glamour. He likens cutting technique to strokes on a canvas and the finished product to "a thing of Japanese perfection , the lines across it as worthy of meditation as any garden in Kyoto."

Bill

Blachly

$ n o t a ho n 1 I o a e 1

By Amy

ntil the chest pains came, Bill Blachly was up for city life. Sure, he dreamed of farming someday back in Vermont where he grew up. But he was just 32 and on an administrative track at Brandeis. The doctor's orders, however, were clear: Get a new job. Within the year, he was dairy farming on 300 acres in Calais. Forty years later, a hale and hearty Blachly still lives in the same white clapboard house he built. And he's still known for putting out a quality product in his barn. But the cash crop isn't milk — it's something far less tangible. Since 1983, the Blachly farm has been best known for its drama. Unadilla Theatre, named for the silo company logo stenciled on each rafter, is one of Vermont's most unusual — and ambitious — summer playhouses.

$24,000. Clearly, this organization has the affectionate support of its community. With good reason. Unadilla exceeds the most romantic stereotypes of a Vermont playhouse. The theater is in a converted

snake in the box office," he states calmly. "Ann went out of there like a shot." O'Brien is expected home any minute. She's up the road at his sister's farm, recruiting box office help. A backstage light needs fixing, there are programs to fold, phone reservations are still coming in, and — oh yes — Blachly is fixing a roast turkey dinner for a few

night off; he starred in Henry V yesterday. "It seems endemic to the Blachly family. They're all just mad about drama," confirms Tunbridge filmmaker John O'Brien — Ann's son — who cast Blachly as Fred Tuttle's political nemesis in his film, Man With a Plan. "I sit down to dinner with them and they're constantly quoting Shakespeare or Chekhov, or singing Gilbert and Sullivan. I've never seen a family who knows so much about theater." So, how did a country boy with almost no dramatic training become the grand elder of an artsy clan? "As a twig is bent, so grows

ladder at a succession of northeast colleges, including a brief stint at Goddard. All the while he longed for the country life he had known as a child in Putney. By the mid-'60s, Blachly was fulfilling his farming dreams with his wife Alice and their two children, and slowly renewing his acquaintance with theater. He began directing plays at Plain field's New School, an institution he helped found. Meanwhile, he was becoming a familiar pres-

et sign over the box office reads, "We accept checks from anyone from any bank anywhere.

What's impressive about Unadilla isn't consistency or polish — this is straight-ahead community drama with all its warts. Rather, it's the fact that this little theater, five miles from the nearest paved road, has survived 12 seasons in repertory. That means eight plays — classics, comedies and musicals — in daunting rotation, every night of the summer. A total of 83 performances in three months. "It may not be the best in the world, but it beats work," says Blachly, who personally welcomes each audience member, and then sends them off with a booming "thanks for coming" as they exit like so many parishioners after an unusually entertaining sermon. At 72, Blachly not only directs an average of four shows a year, runs the lights each night and maintains the property, he and business manager Ann O'Brien bring in regular crowds without advertising. A single mailing and word of mouth lure theater lovers from as far as Burlington. O'Brien, who's also Blachly's sweetheart of 13 years, pulls it off without major sponsors or government grants for an annual cost of

audience members because, he explains, "there's really no place to eat out here." O'Brien appears with salad fixings straight from the garden, and sums up the Unadilla experience: "It's kind of ridiculous, but it's fun." Some cars are stirring up dust on the dirt road — the long, tree-lined trail that seems to go on forever before Blachly's farmhouse emerges out of the forest. The cast is arriving, a multi-generational mix from neighboring towns. Tonight's talent includes Blachly's daughter, ex-wife and a great-niece. His son has the

a tree," muses Blachly, who considers his high school acting experience very formative. "I was dyslexic. As a student I was a total loss, but I sure liked the theater part of it." His arts-loving mother encouraged him and took him to see the Barrymores and Olivier in 55cent Broadway shows. "I was astonished," Blachly recalls. Admitting that "career plans didn't enter my thoughts," Blachly graduated with a fine arts degree from Oberlin just as World War II beg an. After four years in the Navy, he started climbing the administrative

ence in Montpelier — as a oneterm state representative, a legislative reporter, and deputy tax commissioner. "All the while, I was milking the cows," Blachly says. "Then everything got worse with the cow business, and I thought, well, try something new." After a year off — in the Bahamas, on a boat bought from herd-sale proceeds — Blachly and his family returned to Vermont. Initially* he took a stab at being a potter, finding it creatively satisfying but too Continued

JOHN VOORHEES,

THE SUING

(Crustuia Records, CD)

strurnmer has been on the coffeehouse circuit for long enough that some people can pronounce his name. While The Swing is not likely to make industry types form a line outside his Richmond, Vermont house, neither would it turn them away. The Swing, produced with intimate clarity by Greg Ryan at October Moon Studios,' is hard not to like even if you prefer tougher fare. Unvarnished but compelling vocals somewhere between James Taylor and Vermont's own John Gailmor. Lithe guitarwork that serves the songs without showing off. Lyrics that suggest a sensitive, ordinary, good-natured guy who isn't above self-pity (the post-love "Thought You'd Like to Know" borders on maudlin), but in general prefers not to whine. His opening track, "Going Back," makes a good first impression: spirited, lively, harmonious, and ends with a brief outburst of doo-wop. The languorous "Calico Women" observes those who observe others with out really living. T h e more uptempo "Magnificent Loser" is Voorhees at

melody. Voorhees is a modern folk-popster who seems in love with the world and doesn't need to make himself the center of it. Refreshing.

If you're still pleased with power-pop punk, have we got a show for you: Nada Surf, Superdrag, T h e Gravel Pit and Gravity's Pull. Seething with tension only to explode in orgasmic burst of boy energy, the Rile Ocasek-produced Nada Surf is just swell. Knoxville's Superdrag isn't a drag at all, just wicked gritty. If you missed the compellingly quirky Gravel Pit a few weeks ago, don't do it again.

Do you rent

old James Bond movies for the music? Are you mad for Mancini? Tune in the easy listening station when no one's around? Then you'd better polish up the martini glasses, slip into something formal and bossa nova down to Metronome this Thursday to mingle with your own kind. Combustible Edison, featuring the most fa-a-a-a-bulous velvet-throated Miss Lily Banquette, is coming to spear your olives. Formerly known as Christmas, this Boston quintet took a permanent holiday from punk for something more insidious: lounge. T h i n k vibes and xylophones, clickety rhythms, loopy melodies and caressing vocals. T h i n k gleefully, devilishly, perver sely, self-consciously kitschy. T h i n k schmaltzy space-age bachelor(ette) pad music for the moshwear y. Think about bringing your parents.

lonely. Finally, in 1978, the cornit when munity Blachly got involved in Plai nfield's Little Theatre. When the troupe lost its space, he started producing in Spaulding High School. He found the place "so dreary, as most high schools are," that he moved rehearsals to his barn. By the end of the '83 season, while preparing Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, the obvious came to him. "I said, 'Why don't we just do it here?"' The group nailed together some benches, threw down planks on the barn floor and prepared to literally tread the boards. They spread the word and waited. "I remember that first night," Blachly recalls, his face brightening. "We all stood out by the road to see if there were any headlights. There came a car! Then another! Then the field was full. We sold out for a week." Unadilla continued to thrive — though Blachly recalls one night a decade ago when nobody showed up at all. But with his kind of overhead, it was hardly a disaster. Everyone just took off their costumes and went home. Unadilla's early successes inspired Blachly to try a yearround venture. But one winter of "freezing our tails off" in a Montpelier storefront, he says, convinced him that summer theater was the way to go. With $7000 and wood from his land, he converted his barn into a permanent performance space. Cow stalls transformed into a raked house and stage. The hay loft became dressing rooms; the granaries held costumes. Only two minor flaws: occasional power outages and porous walls; Blachly instituted a no-flushing-during-performances rule shortly after the toilets were installed. Over the years, Unadilla has tackled everything from Shakespeare to Mamet — they're producing Oleanna this season. Blachly cites Patience as their most popular production to date — Gilbert & Sullivan is typically a crowd pleaser. If summers are filled with theater, winters have been reserved for Blachlys second passion: sailing. By Thanksgiving each year, he and O'Brien can be found in the Caribbean running a boat charter service. Gome spring, they start the process all over again. "Well kinda crank along the way we're goinV Blachly says. "There isn't a whole lot I'd change. We re doing just about all I can think of to do." Which is exactly what central Vermont counts on. • WM

long and winding road over the path of least resistance. She crafts big pictures from small details — producing entire portraits rather than quick snapshots. Her last picture, Delivered Vacant, painstakingly documented the effects of the real estate boom and bust in Hoboken, New Jersey, from 1984 to 1992. Jacobson's formidable film earned spots in several of the country's most prestigious festivals, including Sundance and New York, and won a Golden Gate Award at the San Francisco Film Festival.

hile I try to pass time on Interstate 89 from Burlington, filmmaker Nora Jacobson is on a hill in Norwich trying to make time stop. Every minute of every day for the past few years has been consumed with capturing her vision of Letters to My Mother's Early Lovers on camera. All this effort, energy and experience so the rest of us can sit back, relax and watch someone else's world played out on a movie screen. Two years of tireless work will get crunched into two hours of viewing pleasure.

Four years later her lens has panned from urban gentrification to rural generations. Letters to My Mothers Early Lovers, based on an unpublished novel by Vermont writer Sybil Smith, explores "dysfunction under the

Jacobson and Smith collaborated on the screenplay, which juxtaposes the mother's promiscuous and political past in the '40s with the family's problematic present. The conceit may smack of Bridges of Madison County, but Letters is written with subtlety and symbolism.

At first glance, the woman needs mothering, but she ends up providing that role to the motherless main characters. It's a mother of a day It's a play within a play. And it's indicative of both this story's complexity and the set's infrastructure.

How did the scene get from Jacobson's head to this hillside? Through the cumulative efforts of 53 cast and crew members and 31 investors. "People leapt to this film," explains Jane Stetson, who is co-producing the project with her husband Bill. jacobson seems overwhelmed by the response, but not the reality. "It's totally unbelievable to me," she says. "I very well remember thinking we're moving along and we really are going to be on the set one day." This scene will take up approximately two minutes of tape, but will take upwards of

infamous words — lights, camera, action — seem to come out of left field. (In fact, they do come from a field, but the words are actually "quiet, roll camera, slate, marker, action.") The momentum shifts and everything comes together. Four years of planning, many months of rehearsal and Jacobson's life work merge to turn her mother into another. "I love the process," she says. "I want to keep doing it. I still love documentaries. I have just begun to scratch the surface of feature filmmaking." Watching her work, I get the feeling that Jacobson's "surface" is the equivalent of Hollywood's deepest point. I also see how far she's come from Hoboken.

By Rabbi Joshua Chasan

hurches continue to burn in America, and Americans continue to be outraged. v Yet we need to get beyond the words of moral outrage. Today, a dozen years after George Orwell's baseline of 1984, the force of these words has diminished. We have become habituated to absorbing all the halftruths and outright lies within which we are immersed. What happens when there is such dissonance between what is said about our lives and what we actually feel? Sooner or later, the center does not hold, the bottom falls out. Places held to be sacred burst into flame, bearing terrible witness to a root fire burning underground all along. Looking back, historians identify the human loss at such times of transition. But actually living through them, we are tempted to feel relief in just surviving the change. Often we call it victory when the ground shifts and we find that we ourselves are not swallowed up by the earth. But merely to survive is no cause for satisfaction. Hopefully, if we have learned anything in this century, it is Elie Wiesel's teaching that the opposite of love is not hatred but indifference. What we feel when the center does not hold and the bottom falls out, what we feel in the aftermath of the crisis, must stand the test of our transcending our own indifference. A church may be torched because of hatred. A person may be killed because of hatred. Scores of churches are torched, masses of people murdered, because of indifference. Murder and the burning of churches do not end because the President of the United States says, "this has got to stop." Standing by each other in times of need is the very stuff of being human. To paraphrase Martin Buber, we must awaken in each other the need to help, in ourselves the capacity to help. Even when we ourselves are in need — and we are — we can help others and, in so doing, help ourselves.

For if we really have the courage to plumb our own depths, and hear what others learn when they plumb their own, then we will come to know that the ground beneath us always stirs. Teachers of a variety of religious traditions point us to the principle that "truth is error burned up." If we embrace the courage of our own convictions and respect each other's, whatever happens, the truth of our own love will emerge.

PADDLE PUSHERS

In a sea kayak the lake is your oyster*

By M i c h a e l

Tapplv

hen is the lake a sea? When you're on it in a sea kayak. Semantics don't get in the way for kayaking enthusiasts who prefer the relative calm of a lake to the white-knuckle thrills of rapidly moving water. The thing is called a sea kayak, okay? Tour kayak, too — common in the bays and inlets of coastal regions, but possible on almost any body of water, including off the "west coast" of Vermont. Kayaking itself, of course, is nothing new. The Inuit and other native Arctic peoples did it for centuries in skin-covered wooden vessels in order to travel and hunt. Now indigenous city slickers are doing it, too, in similar crafts made from modern materials like fiberglass, kevlar and recycled milk jugs — also known as rotomolded polyethylene. They're doing it just to do it, and ^

they're doing it more than ever. If you've canoed but never sea kayaked, an entirely new experience awaits you. Unlike canoeing, sea kayaking is a fullbody workout. The balance is somewhat like in horseback riding, the shoulder movements like a martial art. Your legs operate foot pedals, light-airplane style, which steer a rudder at the kayak's stern. The better to handle surf, tide and wind. A neoprene or nylon spray skirt used to seal the cockpit helps keep you dry. Many kayaks have enough room in their watertight compartments to store food, clothes and gear for a week-long expedition. And it's one sport in which women's lower "center of gravity" — hips — are advantageous, notes Barbara Schumacher, who says it makes for a more stable ride. Owner, with her husband Bob, of Canoe Imports in Shelburne, she's been kayaking seven years. From exhilarating expedition last hours of the day. So do the towering cliffs, lakeshore wildlife and, of course, that picnic dinner you prepared ^ before setting out. Paddl* | | | Ways Kayak Tours leads the

crafts to rugged puddle hoppers, sea kayaks come in different shapes and sizes for different purposes and people. Some are built for the soloist; others can accommodate a family of four. "We have boats that you can put six-year-olds in, where they can paddle safely, comfortably, and can't flip out. They can't do anything but have a good time," explains Barry Bender, owner of Clearwater Sports in Waitsfield. "People are realizing it's easy for everybody." Stability is one reason for the popularity. "You're so low to the water that you don't have the same windage problems associated with a canoe," says Grant Mitchell, director of North American Wellness Adventures, "It's easier to say, 'that's where I want to go,' and get there." In the case of Lake Champlain, that extends to out of the way places that power boats can't get to. And there is no hassle with moorings and trailers.

Low-slung fun on Lake

Mitchell describes sea kayaking as a "low-testosterone adventure sport." Instead of challenging nature, he says, you're working along with it. "It's more tranquil, although it certainly has its moments when it doesn't have to be," says Mitchell, who leads stress-management workshops which combine adventure sports with human and environmental education. The soothing, therapeutic qualities of sea kayaking are most profound when the paddler and the environment become one: Sealed into the craft, the paddler seems an appendage of the kayak; nearly flush with the surface, the kayak seems a part of the water. And the water, of course, is home to other creatures. "When you're sea kayaking, you're on the same level as a lot of wildlife found on the water," says Suzanne Trahey of Clearwater. "You're able to stop and see deer, to check out marine life in their own habitat, and possibly — hopefully — not disturb them." In turn, she adds, the wildlife often are "not particularly afraid of you because you look different than a human" in a kayak. You can pick up on the subtle changes in the wind over the waves, or a

heron that's 300 or 400 yards away. The number of local kayak dealers and tour guides attests to the rising popularity of the sport, as does a "new" feature of Lake Champlain itself: the Paddlers' Trail. Last month members of the Champlain Kayak Club and others from Vermont and New York inaugurated the watery path with a flotilla of some 100 kayakers. Two missions of the trailblazer group, explains Michele Rose of Paddle Ways, are to locate and develop primitive facilities onshore along the trail, and to promote stewardship of the lake. Like other things that feel good, sea kayaking does have its dangers. Staying in and flipping an upside-down kayak — the so-called "Eskimo roll" — is a learned skill. Schumacher admits that she's still not mastered it, though she's got selfrescue pretty much down. This means being able to either get back in the boat and carry on, or get the boat back to shore to upright it. If in the water, hypothermia is a serious issue, Schumacher says, even in summer.

"What we recommend for safer kayaking is flotation bags in the bow and the stern — inflatable baggies that help keep the boat floating upright." But knowing how to roll, he insists, isn't a prerequisite. With a good personal flotation device — and a modicum of common sense — you can slide out of the boat and swim or paddle it just about anywhere. After that, there are no lift tickets to purchase or bent derailleurs to replace. Just a world of water to explore. •

he key to a more prosperous future for the Old North End might be found in its past. This summer preliminary work may lead to designation of the lower half of North Street as a National Historic District. A listing on this federal registry qualifies local property owners for tax credits when they substantially renovate their homes or businesses. The street's residential and commercial appeal could get a muchneeded boost from this potentially sizable financial incentive. Richard Moe, director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, toured parts of the Old North End late last month with Mayor Peter Clavelle. Their walk represented a first step toward nominating North Street for inclusion in a nationwide pilot project. Under this initiative, the National Trust is seeking to demonstrate how designation as a historic district — along with related assistance in obtaining renovation permits — can help communities improve an aging housing stock. Burlington is one of six communities being considered for the Historic Urban Neighborhood Project, which explores how cities can combine historic preservation . and affordable housing, according to David White, Comprehensive Planner for the City of Burlington. Two neighborhoods have already been chosen, in Atlanta and San Antonio. White explains that applying for historic district status can help a city win approval for the pilot project as well. Burlington won't hear back until next fall.

PARK PLACE:

Burlington are already listed on the national registry, most of which are in the hill section and downtown district. "We haven't yet taken as long a look at the rich history of working folks in the city," says Tom Visser, interim director of historic preservation at the University of Vermont. "While the many older buildings on North Street may not be as , fancy as those in some

they're still worth acknowledging." Socio-cultural history, not architecture, is what makes the main drag worth saving. North Street is where many immigrant groups in northern Vermont first settled. It's also a repository of the history of Burlington's working class. The question is whether "historic status" would create as

many problems as it solves. Qualifying for rehabilitation tax credits "has made all the difference for a number of local sites," Visser says, citing the Champlain Mill in Winooski and Vermont House at the corner of Main and St. Paul in downtown Burlington as two prominent examples. Home owners on lower King and Maple Streets have also gained eligibility for the tax breaks — equal to 20 percent of the cost of a major rehab project — through that area's designation as a historic district. But city officials are studying whether listing North Street on this registry might actually limit options for redevelopment. The designation has to be examined with a view to any restrictions it might entail, says Tom Dillon, a staffer in Burlington's Community and

Economic Development Office. Dillon points to recent demolition and construction work that is transforming the North Winooski AvenueArchibald Street area. "Seven buildings were torn down in the course of that overall project. That's the degree of flexibility it takes to redevelop an urban neighborhood." Visser, who accompanied Moe on last month's walking tour, offers assurance that listing North Street as a histo'ric district would not complicate the permitting process. "The restrictions that do exist are on the city level through the zoning ordinance. Virtually the entire Old North End is already included in the city's design review district," says Visser, who chairs the Design Review Board. The effort to qualify North

Street for rehabilitation tax .jf credits is part of a broader revitalization strategy for that piece of the Old North End. A fede|§ al VISTA volunteer is currently meeting with merchants along the street to ascertain how the city might help spur commercial activity. A host of other initiatives are also underway as part of the two-year, $3 million federal Enterprise Community grant aimed at boosting the economy of the entire Old North End. In general, Dillon says, North Street is in relatively good shape. With the notable exception of the office building at 10 North Street, almost all the commercial properties are occupied. But the street has not become the vibrant and multifaceted shopping concourse envisioned by upbeat urban planners. The scant square footage of many storefronts precludes a number of retail uses, Dillon points out. North Street also lacks the parking space that would make its shops more convenient to both Old North Enders and other Burlington residents. "Beautification" has also bypassed North Street — the tree-free avenue is a definite eyesore in places. Curb and sidewalk repair work are made costly, Dillon says, by a thick layer of concrete below the surface. For now, the only consolation is free paint. Home and business owners are being urged to freshen their facades via a federally-funded giveaway that provides residents free exterior paint on a first-come, firstserved basis. By the end of the summer North Street, especially targeted for the spruce-up, may be showing some new colors. •

Michelle Trachtenberg stars as the youthful sleuth. STEALING BEAUTY ( N R) In the latest from Bernardo (The Last Emperor, The Sheltering Sky) Bertolucci, Liv Tyler plays an American girl whose visit to a Tuscan ex-patriate community leads to a journey of self-discovery — and tantalizes the older residents. Jeremy Irons co-stars. THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME** From directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale — the guy who gave us Beauty and the Beast— comes this animated and amazingly similar story loosely extrapolated from the 1831 novel by Victor Hugo. Tom Hulce provides the voice of the loveable young outcast, Demi Moore speaks for the babe of his dreams and Jason Alexander yucks it up as a wisecracking gargoyle. Hey, what's that spinning sound coming from Hugo's grave?

INDEPENDENCE DAY * * * * PHENOMENON * * STRIPTEASE * As the staff of Seven Days enjoyed some deserved down time last week, it occurred to me that its not easy for a movie critic to tell when he's on vacation. Publishers, sales people and designers relax by taking in one of the big summer blockbusters. What am I RAZING CAPITOL Aliens give new meaning to the term "high supposed to do for a change of office" in one ^/Independence Days more explosive moments. pace — put on a tie and take a meeting? So, while everybody else was getting away from it all, it was business as usual for me. Of course, there are tougher jobs than sitting through Independence Day. As everyone on the planet knows by now, the picture is an inspired combination of old-fashioned invaders-from-space goofmess and the most advanced effects ever put to celluloid. Its shattered every box-office record in the book. The cast — Will Smith, JefFGoldblum, Harry Connick Jr., and Bill Pullman as a buttkicking chief executive — obviously had a ball making the movie, and the fun they had is contagious. On the down side, the Martians look like something youd pick up at an Ames Halloween, clearance sale. That one flaw aside, though, Independence Day has never been more fun to observe. Speaking of space people: The residents of a small town think aliens have turned John Travolta into the worlds smartest man in Phenomenon. That's nonsense, of course, or he never would have signed on for this syrupy saga about a lovable dufus who loses friends as fast as he gains superhu- f man knowledge. Sound familiar? It should: This is the same story we just watched in Powder, only cornier, almost sickeningly sweet and shameless in its emotional button-pushing. It doesn't take a genius to see that, with three flops in a row, Travolta needs to wise up big-time, or he'll be back making talking-dog movies before he knows it. In a summer dominated by aliens, the strangest life-form on the screen has to be the character played by Demi Moore in the feebleminded Striptease. Get this: She's not just a topless dancer — she's a feminist topless dancer! When she's not parading around semi-nude, she's crusading against conditions at the Eager Beaver. She thinks they just might be demeaning to women. Sort of like this movie. Hey, Demi, do us all a big favor: If you ever bump into aliens with a Smart Ray, ask them for a double blast.

July 18-24

BY ROB BREZSNY

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Once upon a time, a spunky Aries set out on a journey across the wasteland, hoping to reach heaven on earth. For eons she trod the barren badlands, navigating through the tests of confused dragons and insane butterflies. Depending on nothing more than her ingenuity, she felt dangerously alive... ferociously strong... drunkenly attuned to her wild heart. Finally, at the height of her exhilaration, she crossed over to the suburbs of paradise. Without warning, a fog of disappointment descended, filling her with eerie lisdessness. Having fought for and won her dream, she longed only to be fighting for her dream once again. Moral of the story: The struggle may be sweeter than the prize. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): 1 believe it's time for you to risk uprooting an old standby; to dig up a growth that goes down very deep. Why? Perhaps it's a oncelovely thing that's turned ugly and demanding. Or maybe it's a languishing beauty that can't thrive again unless you transplant it. Only you have the power to know the real reason — and that may not become apparent until after the deed is done. So be ginger as you rip out the thing by its roots. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Ready for a barrage of no-nonsense exhortations? I hope so, because it's my best hope for awakening your dormant communication skills. Here goes. Fling out feelers! Sling out invitations! Broach touchy subjects! Conspire to get yourself nouced! Make yourself so damn attractive no one will dare turn you down! Pose questions you've been afraid to ask! Risk looking stupid if it'll serve your lust to become smarter! Plunk yourself down in crossroads, thresholds and other places where the traffics heavy! Send out telepathic beams that say, "I'm ready, Lord! I'm ready, everyone! Come 'n' get me!" CANCER (June 21-July 22): 1 promise I won't abandon you if you spend the next seven days patting yourself on the back for all the dreams you've hatched in the last few weeks. But I must admit 1 would be miserably disappointed. The astrological indicators say this is prime time for you to bust your butt turning those dreams into dollars, and I can't imagine that you'd prefer lounging around communing with the past (even if it is the recent past) to marching out and whipping up the future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Good. It looks like you're getting bored with mincing < around like a thoroughbred wearing a blindfold. Whatever reasons you had for handicapping yoursdf have served dieir lame purpose. The only question left is, who are you going to get to remove that confounded blindfold? (I wouldn't recommend trying to paw it off yourself.) Oh, and I'd also like to suggest that you be very discriminating in choosing which race will be the first you enter after your vision's restored. It'll soon be imprinting season. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Over the years, a prim Virgo scholar I know has fallen in love with three different madwomen, each of whom has ended up howling on his doorstep at dawn. Another Virgo friend, a very proper accountant, is a magnet for Sagittarian globe-trotters, alcoholic poets and professional party animals. These two examples are not atypical. I can cite many other members of your sign who, though extremely civilized themselves, have more than their fair share of contact with riotous, messy creatures. I sometimes wonder if the universe is trying to tell you folks to loosen up and indulge in some wild shenanigans of your own — so that you don't need so many surrogates to do it for you. How about if you devote diis week to rising above the merely vicarious part of your thrill-seeking? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The cosmic powers-that-be are giving you more permission than you've had in 13 moons. Permission to do what? Everything! In fact, don't even waste time trying to figure out where you should take advantage of this special dispensation; just assume you have a mandate to expand in every single facet of your life. (P.S. A little voice just whispered in my ear, "A few rungs have fallen off Libra's ladder of success, which means it's a fabulous time for climbing higher faster.") SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As I peer into my crystal ball, I see you zipping around on a magic flying carpet. Some sourpuss on the ground barks out at you, "Get the hell down out, of the sky right this minute!" In response you do a double flip and zoom around upside-down. Another person appears, face full of worried concern, and begs you, "Honey, please be careful." You immediately hurl yourself into a steep dive. Right before you hit the ground, you pull up and soar back towards the heavens. Now I see mysdf in the crystal ball. I holler out, "Scorpio, sweetheart, that carpet would look great lying in your new power spot." And you eagerly come down to earth right away. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What the hell is "soul work," anyway? It's like when you courageously identify your least attractive qualities and then wangle and scheme to turn them into assets. It's like when you create a beautiful object or situation without being motivated by the desire to make people adore you. It's like when you go into a crowded, smoky bar to put your meditation techniques to the acid test. It's like when you learn not just to tolerate raging ambiguity, but to love it and thrive on it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A chalice is your symbol for the week. Picture one in your mind's eye. Is it silver? Ceramic? Plastic? How big is it? Long-stemmed or squat? Qose your eyes and spend a few minutes with this vision before reading on. The chalice you envisioned represents the current state of your willingness to be filled up with new goodies, from love to gifts to offers. A cheap, shallow cup indicates you're too full of yourself to receive many fresh delights. A deep, well-made one suggests you're about to receive an outpouring of wonders. If you don't like what you imagined the first time, take this opportunity to conjure up a more gracious vessel. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): For a chance to win a trip to Bali, a'brand new BMW and a dream' date with a sweet-talking stud or siren, answer this bonus question: How is it that you've come so far and worked so hard only to be content now ,o wait around for the call that may or may no, ever come? For a crack at scoring a trip to Rwanda, a beat-up old one-speed bike and a lucky skunk keychain, simply refuse to answer the bonus question and i n " " J PISCES
