WOMEN’S COUNSEL Judging from the title on the front page of your newspaper [June 25] — “Clavelle’s Women Troubles” — I thought [Peter] Freyne’s article would detail [Mayor Peter] Clavelle’s problems dealing with issues facing women in the Burlington area. Instead, he offered his usual sleazy reportage. Rather than illuminating read ers about what is going on with Clavelle, the Womens Council and community members, Freyne pits [Peggy] Luhrs and [Jennifer] Matthews against each other as though they are Mercedes McCambridge and Joan Crawford in Johnny Guitar. Freyne stumbles all over himself trying to be clever. How about giv ing us some information, such as: What exactly are the concerns about Matthews’ leadership? To what extent is the agenda of the Progressives unfavorable to women? How has the work of the Council been affected by the Mayor exclud ing Matthews from important meetings? A battle involving the Women’s Council, community members and the Mayor’s office is a serious issue. Freyne’s chatter about who thinks who is heterosexual or lesbian is irresponsible and irrelevant. The only purpose it serves is to remind us of Freyne’s innate maliciousness. It seems objective, informed reporting is the purview of a more responsible journalist at a more responsible newspaper. This article should have been called “Mommy! Mommy! The girls are fighting! ’ That would have warned us of its adolescent pitch. — Ruth Farmer Charlotte WOMEN’S COUNSEL II I wish Peggy Luhrs were a Progressive, but she’s always remained a steadfast Independent, bringing a close scrutiny to every party’s actions. However, beyond offering feminist critiques, she also led a very diverse Women’s Council on a variety of programmatic fronts. To its credit under her leadership, the Burlington Women’s Council established an ongoing women’s self-defense program; pressured the city to create the very successful “Women in the Trades” ordinance (fostering a women’s training program for the con struction trades that has been repeated around the

state); won the creation of a permanent position to monitor police actions in domestic abuse cases; and led the way in building a “transitional housing pro gram” for battered women and their children. In working with her on two of these projects, nei ther my gender nor my party status were ever issues. She was focused on the tasks at hand. [Peter] Freyne is right [Inside Track, June 25]... she is a fighter; a fighter for women and programs that will benefit them and their families. I’m confident that the many women who con tributed to the successes of the Women’s Council in the past will get it back on course. Unfortunately, name-calling and public, personal attacks only cloud the real differences being debated. I know it doesn’t make fascinating reading, but I’m sure the politics involved go far beyond the per sonal and center on different visions of feminist process and programs. — Tom Smith Burlington (Tom Smith is a City Councilor from Ward 3) WOMEN’S COUNSEL III Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies... when [Peter] Freyne asked about the Women’s Council, a whopping lie was told by Advisory committee mem ber Maureen Dyer and substantiated by Director Jennifer Matthews — that former Director Peggy Luhrs was led to believe Matthews was gay so that she would be hired. If it were true, what does it tell us about Dyer? Do we want Advisory Committee mem bers who lie about their friend’s sexual orientation? Luhrs knew Matthews is straight and couldn’t have given a hoot about it during the hiring. Luhrs men tioned to a number of people at the time of the hir ing that Matthews and her male partner would move to Burlington (which Matthews agreed to, then never followed through). Now, Matthews is engaging in revisionism to protect Dyer. Aside from the lies and lesbian-baiting, let’s look at the real story. Matthews, a newcomer to Burlington, has had a rocky road during her first year at the Women’s Council. City funding was threatened twice in her first five months. Rather than exhibit leadership that would organize all Women’s Council members in a constructive way, Matthews opted for political opportunism and rhetoric that began with a Progressive Coalition conspiracy and has grown into a full-blown love-fest with the Republicans — many of whom have called for the abolition of the Women’s Council in past years. But Freyne is never interested in the real story. Perhaps Seven Days should stop pimping for Petey and get out of gutter journalism. — Liz Curry Burlington CORRECTION: The folk group Full Moon Heart had an incorrect phone number in their ad. The correct number is 496-3919.

Eight weeks after the verdict in the biggest drug ®trial in Vermont history, the case is still smokin’! In the wake of Inside Track’s report that one i juror shared with fellow jurors — but concealed | from the court — the fact that he was the brother | of a man identified in testimony as a hashish cusI tomer of Billy Greer’s, the defense f hired a private investigator who ®confirmed the report, and then i some. The defense team — attor| neys Mark Kaplan, Bob Kalina, | Mark Keller, Brad Stetler and | Martin Maley — has asked Judge William Sessions III to conduct ®an “evidentiary hearing” on their 1 motion for a new trial based on | the juror’s conduct. Meanwhile, prosecutor David ■ Kirby is pulling out all the stops ™to prevent that from happening. * Wavy Davy argues in court docui ments that it would be a waste of 1 time. And one sign he’ll do what| ever it takes to prevent such an I inquiry from succeeding is his “ allegation that a conspiracy may ■ be in the works between the I defense, the juror and yours truly! John Baker of Essex Jet., a 48year-old federal technician work ing for the Vermont Army National Guard, told Inside Track « in June he never mentioned his | brother’s drug dealing during the jury draw. He | said when he was asked if he had a relative or close | friend busted for drugs “in the last 10 years,” he kept quiet because his brother Bobby’s dirty deeds occurred over T O years agOi rr .cWt ’ But according to the juror questionnaire form 1 on file in the clerk’s office, Baker was asked, “Have | you, any relative or person close to you ever | been... accused of a crime?” He answered, “No.” Baker told Inside Track he let fellow jurors in on his secret after his brother’s name was blurted out by the government’s number-one snitch, Michael Johnson. But Nancy Stevens, the private detective hired by the defense, found he started blabbing about it way before then. According to court documents, Stevens inter viewed two jurors. She learned that Baker informed his fellow jurors at the beginning of the trial they might be hearing about his brother, Bobby Baker, during the testimony. Stevens also learned that at the outset of the trial Baker told other jurors “he had received telephone calls asking him to go easy on the defendants.” He did not identify the source of the phone calls. Juror Baker also told fellow jurors “he was surprised that he could have stayed on the jury.” The thought of throwing out the verdict after 10 weeks of trial, 47 witnesses, including the Dutchman connected to the largest drug smug gling syndicate in Europe, and 231 exhibits is obvi ously pushing the normally mellow Mr. Kirby close to the edge. (The only time Wavy Davy exploded during the trial was when he was accused by defense witness and pro-legalization-of-pot activist Dr. Bob Melamede of admitting to his own mari juana use in his “hippie days.”) Last week, in an 18-page response to Greer’s bail motion, a response that was public until the judge ordered it sealed late Thursday afternoon, Kirby laid out his colorful conspiracy theory. “The Court may be wondering, as the Government is,” writes Wavy Davy, “how Peter Freyne knew to approach Juror Baker, and knew to ask him the right question.” Goodness gracious! Bend over, folks. It sounds like the good old First Amendment is about to take a hit.

“One very plausible though quite troubling explanation is that Freyne was tipped off by the A S P H A L T B U F F E T : A L L YO U C A N E A T F O R $ 2 9 9 . defense,” Kirby continues. “At this point the Government cannot prove that this occurred, and therefore does not allege that it did. Nevertheless, Snaking back roads. Open straightaways. Hairpin turns. They're all there.

et me be the last to congratulate everybody on the murder of Gianni Versace.

What Ellen DeGeneres started in April, Andrew Cunanan now nur tures to fruit.

Larry Flynt’s a hero now, too, as I’m sure you all real ize, a significant champion of lib the curb into Eighth erty and freedom who’s been twist ing your children into some inter esting shapes. Avenue traffic.

So, all right, I’m just back from “They shot Johnny Washington, D. C., where I’ve been to harangue Sandy Thurman, Billy-Bob Clintons new AIDS cza Fuhsahchee dead in rina, who’s supposed to show up at the National Press Club to share the head!” the glory when the Centers for Disease Control announce a stun ning 19 percent drop in AIDS deaths during the first three quarters of 1996. That’s good news, folks, really good news, and don’t think Her Majesty the AIDS czarina doesn’t know it. Nineteen-ninety-six was before most people started on the protease inhibitors, even, so you can imagine how great things are going to be next year. They’ll be great for me, anyhow, because I’m a white man with an education whose voice is not lost in the mass. But they won’t be so great for lots of other people, according to the CDC. Women, in par ticular. People of color, in particular. Women of color — lets be honest — with families of color, in particular. The truth is that the rate of AIDS deaths isn’t declining in that particular neighborhood, and I’m here to ask Sandy Thurman what she thinks about that, and whether, as President Clinton’s new AIDS czarina, she’s actually going to be allowed to say anything, or do anything, or stand for anything, or whether she’s going to be asked to resign, like Joycelyn Elders, if she uses a word like “masturbate” in a sentence. And while were on it, I’m thinking, what does Her Ineffectiveness the AIDS czarina have to say about the insurance companies and the corporate HMOs, to whom the CDC is busy trying to pitch this 19 percent drop in AIDS deaths as a sign of the “cost-effectiveness” of protease inhibitors. That’s the word they’re all using, I swear to God: Combination therapy for HIV and AIDS will ultimately prove costeffective for insurers, as fewer and fewer AIDS patients will need to be hospitalized over longer and longer periods of time.” So it might not be such a bad idea, in other words, if the CDC may be forgiven for even nervously suggesting such a thing, if the cor porate hoodlums who run this country pop a dime now and then in order to save some lives. The lives of some people of color, even, if you’ll pardon the CDC’s abject self for even mentioning it. It might be a good idea to save some lives, after all, not because saving lives is the right thing to do — heavens, no! — but because it’s cost-effective and you can sell it on Wall Street. Epluribus unum. In God We Trust. So I want to hear what the AIDS czarina has to say about all this, only the AIDS czarina never shows up. Blows us right off, in fact. Something about a meeting “up on the Hill,” as her spokesniks tell us,

hen David batdes Goliath, almost every one roots for the little guy. But what if David is an inept fighter who doesn’t always respect the rules? And suppose Goliath tries hard to ingratiate himself with the crowd by dangling enticements that David can’t possibly provide. W hich side are you really on? T h at’s the dilemma many Vermonters face as more and more national chains move in compete with locally owned small businesses Some shop pers never thinh about this issue and others feel no obligation to buy from a loca proprietor, but there’s probably more resistance to nationwide merchandisers ii Vermont than ii most other state owing to a prou tradition o f ind< pendence and t( a strong preserv; tionist move ment. Often, though, buyers’ don’t walk the talk. “I don’t wan to whine about it,” says Brett Bloomberg, owner o f Root l Vine juice com pany, “but I’m struck by the fa( that everyone here says they support local businesses and then don’t make much effort to buy locally.” Bloomberg enjoyed success with the venture he launched several m onths ago, buying produce from local distribu tors and squeezing and selling juice in the Burlington area. T hat was before the arrival o f Fresh Samantha, a Maine-based juice company operating throughout the Northeast. Fresh Samantha prom oted its product by installing $1500 display coolers in local stores, and pretty soon Root & Vine’s sales began to wither. Chassman & Bern’s im pend ing battle with Borders book store is another, and recently more publicized, example o f

part. Stowe photographer Peter Miller says he has a $208 bill outstanding for copies o f his book, Vermont People, sold m onths ago at Chassman & Bern. “That doesn’t sound like a lot,” Miller acknowledges, “but I’m broke.” A much larger sum — more than $4000 — is owed by C hudnow to Tunbridge filmmaker John O ’Brien. Last holiday season, the C hurch Street store sold more than 1000 videos o f O ’Brien’s M an with a Plan, generating $10,000 for Chassman & Bern and a potential ly equal am ount for the filmmaker. But C hudnow still hasn’t paid the full sum, even though, says O ’Brien, “I’ve called him at least 30 times.” T he direc tor’s frustration is now so fevered that he’s threatening to arrange for his film’s hero, Fred Tuttle, to picket the store. oward N orm an, author o f the best-selling novel The Bird Artist, accuses the local shop owner o f “ineptness” and “a very unprofes sional job” o f prom ot ing a reading and book signing by Norm an’s wife, nationally known and award-winning poet Jane Shore. Copies o f her new volume, Music Minus One, were not even displayed in the store’s window, Norm an says, even though the East Calais writer had recently been interviewed on

Some local authors com plain that Chudnow doesn’t treat them well. A photographer and a filmmaker say he hasn’t paid them for product, while a poet’s recent reading attracted an embarrassingly small turnout due, supposedly, to poor pro m otional work on C hudnow’s

National Public Radio. For his part, C hudnow says he is paying off both Miller and O ’Brien, and that one o f his employees is assigned to work with local authors. He also con tends that Vermont writers are often featured m uch more prom inently at Chassman & Bern than at Barnes & Noble. N oting that chain stores some times refuse to carry his books, Miller concedes that “the big guys can be real sharks.” And O ’Brien acknowledges that not

many copies o f M an with a Plan have sold at Barnes & Noble, which didn’t even carry the video until spring and then consigned it to a relatively obscure niche. O ther Vermont writers report good experiences with the Dorset Street Barnes & Noble, just as some local authors have nothing bad to say about Chassman & Bern. “Its a complicated thing,” N orm an says o f the com peti tion between national book chains and small independents. “A bookstore like Borders mov ing into a small area will pro vide em ploym ent” and will also offer “an extraordinary range o f books. As a bibliophile, that’s very attractive to m e,” he admits. T he arrival o f a chain outlet also tends to force down prices for consumers. Independent stores quickly realize they must attem pt to match the discounts offered by the high-volume retailer. But even when their prices may not be quite as low, “I do prefer to support local book sellers,” N orm an says. T he best o f all worlds, he suggests, is an indepedent shop like M ont pelier’s Bear Pond Books, which has a comprehensive and eclec tic inventory and also treats writers well. Despite the seeming cornu copia and “sophisticated veneer” o f a Barnes & Noble, adds Gary Chassman, chain bookstores can ultimately serve to limit the available choices. “T heir sheer dom inance o f the market can influence publish ers’ decision on what to print — and what not to print,” he notes. W hen quantity becomes a more im portant factor than quality, creative materials lack ing appeal to mainstream tastes may find few sponsors. In addition, mass merchan disers sometimes sell expurgated versions or refuse outright to carry certain works. Such a pol icy can lead to self-censorship on the part o f publishers. In a parallel in the music industry, recording artists fear that WalM art, one o f the biggest C D sales outlets in the country, is making American music more insipid by refusing to stock releases that it judges offensive. Blockbuster Video mean while offers only “specially edit ed copies” o f some films, says Melo Grant, manager o f locally owned W aterfront Video. “We tend to take everything in its original cut,” she says. Blockbuster is also oblivious to local phenom ena such as M an with a Plan, which isn’t avail able at the Shelburne Road store. T he film, filmmaker and its star were the focus o f a celebrity event at W aterfront Video last winter. Naturally, the store adverC o n tin u e d on page 13

NO RAIN ON THIS PARADE O n the heels of Sunday’s 100strong “Clarinet Parade” in honor of Richard “The Clarinet Man” Haupt, Church Street Marketplace Director Molly Lambert confirms that a movement is afoot to create a monument to Richard. “Several people have called with different suggestions for how his memo ry should be perpetuated,” she says, “from a brass plaque or sculpture on Church Street to a scholarship for bud ding clarinet players, to a benefit concert to support that sort of thing.” Lambert says the Commission will call a meeting o f those interested to “see where we can go with it.” She thinks a monument o f some sort — near Richard’s favorite tootling spot — is very likely. For his part, parademaster Mike Nedell of The Fiddleheads sug gests a “Richard theme park” in place of the soon-toclose Woolworth’s. And what would one do there? “Listen to clarinet music, I guess,” he ventures. RASTA REPORT Luckily, most people did not rely on this column last week for the number of the Reggae Hotline, since I inadvertently got one digit wrong (just for the record, it’s really 862-3092). My humble apologies. Anyway, even unseasonably chilly weather and unsympa thetic rains failed to deter over 10,000 skankers from descending upon Hardwick for what proved to be a fab ulous 12th. Co-organizer Alfred “Dr. Tuna” Snider testi

presents the 14thAnnual

fies that “from top to bottom it was our strongest line-up ever.” I don’t have room for a complete musical report here, but, with positive vibrations for all the performers, he made special note of the opening band, seven white guys from Ithaca called John Browns Body. Kudos, too, went to Burlington’s own Cleon, who’s been recording new songs at Channel 2; Jamaica’s Eddie Fitzroy, whose dynamic set brought out the sun (alas, only temporarily); Dominique’s Marley sound-alike Nasio Fontaine; and of 1 course Mad Professor and his entourage from England. The latter, says, Tuna, is the “best example of mixpersonship I’ve ever seen — and how he did it without head phones I’ll never know.” Headliner Macka B lured the chilled out of their cars and literally had them jumping up and down. Tuna applauds the audience most of all — a well-behaved, enthusiastic group who not only endured 12 hours of rain but stuck around to clean up the site afterwards. “Those are the people of the reggae fest and that’s why I’m so committed to it,” Tuna declares. As for the question on everyone’s minds: Will the Reggae Fest continue next year? “We don’t know the lat est,” reports Tuna, “but financially we’re very, very close.” Sitting down this week with the books will determine the next course of action. O ne thing’s for sure, the intrepid volunteers who run the Vermont Reggae Festival will “start with legal action to get an exemption from the commercial public assembly process — that’s what deter mines how many cops we have to have.” For some reason

By con trast, the music cost $20,000 — and, no offense to Vermont’s finest, was a lot more entertaining. Stay tuned for the financial report. THE ROAD TOWELLVILLE The mega-tour Another Roadside Attraction, which hits Highgate this Saturday courtesy of All Points Booking, promises a daylong musical extravaganza with The Tragically Hip, Sheryl Crow, Ashley Maclsaac, Wilco, Los Lobos and more. But it’s more than a party; these are rebels with a cause. T-Hip and ARA have chosen to benefit chil dren’s cancer camps this year — Highgate’s concert specifically targets Camp Te-Kum-Ta. If you go, look for people selling $2 raffle tickets to something called The Roadside Grill. Fifteen winners of the raffle get to eat dinner from a special area in front of the mixing board — the best seats in the house. Could be you. For details on the show, check www.roadside.ca. And if you didn’t get your niffy ARA Guide in the Free Press last week, look for one in local record shops.

STILL-CHEAP THRILLS As reported here last week, Big Ed Chester from Promised Land Records has been off recording It’s a Beautiful Day and Big Brother & the Holding Company. Well, this week I got rough mixes in the mail and was blown away by singer Lisa Battles (from Concord, California), even though the vocals are still “dry” on the tape. “Piece of My Heart” hasn’t sounded so good since Janis Joplin Southern Comforted it in the late ’60s. This weekend, of course, Big Ed will bring his Studio On Wheels to record the Hardwick Fiddle Contest &C Music Festival (see spotlight).

Big Heavy World’s Web site now sports a “trophy” at the bottom o f the home page, the result of a small but satifying award from Live-Online (an out fit which lists events you can listen to or look at on the Internet) The spot light award was given to the broad cast — in this case a Belizbeha con cert at Metronome with Chin Ho! — Live-Online highlights on their site.

Idolized, imi tated but never quite duplicat ed, the off-kilter combo has been called the “world’s greatest bar band,” and has awed rock big-wigs like Paul M cCartney and Elvis Costello for years. Artists like Bonnie Raitt and Dave Edm unds have sung their praises — and their songs — and yet, after nearly three decades o f relendess touring, N R B Q is hardly a household name.

what ringleader Terry Adams calls “om nipop.” Since recording their debut with Carl Perkins in 1968 the Q uartet has undergone a few personnel changes, though the classic line-up o f Adams, Al Anderson,Tom Ardolino and Joey Spampinato lasted for over 20 years. In 1994, guitarist “Big Al” went solo and flew south to Nashville, his very large shoes being filled by Joey’s brother Johnny, who makes his area debut this week. The N R B Q songbook is chock-full o f finely honed pop gems like “Ridin” in My C ar” and “Still In School.” A typical record shifts gears a dozen times and covers miles o f stylistic ground, from rockabilly melt downs like “Don’t She Look G ood” to McCartneyesque bal lads like “I Love Her, She Loves Me” to gonzo covers like “N orth to Alaska.” W ith three great writers in the band, the Q produced dozens of wouldbe hits, incorporating myriad influences (British Invasion, Beach Boys, bebop, Byrds — and that’s just the B’s) along the way. In the ’80s, N R B Q packed clubs like H unt’s and The Front in Burlington, wowing audi

New England’s fab four have never had a big hit record o f their own, and rarely find their way onto mainstream air waves. Instead, they play club dates — up to 180 per year — and write and record more great pop songs to be savored by a discerning few. Perhaps their timing was off, coming o f age in the ’70s when “heavy” music ruled the airwaves. Perhaps they just did n’t pay off the right people.

like Ann Taylor, Laura Ashley and Banana Republic “rely on their national image rather than on local ads,” notes Chassman. Few consumers realize the ulti mate implications o f this loss for their hometown papers, radio and television stations. Some national outlets do advertise in Vermont and take part in downtown promotions, notes Mollie Lambert, head of the Church Street Marketplace commission. She cites the cases o f Brooks Pharmacy, The Nature Com pany and Pier One. Conversely, Lambert adds, not all locally owned shops on Church Street participate in fvTarketplace events. T he ratio for such involvement is about the same for locals and nation als, she says, pointing out that locally owned businesses still account for 85 percent of Church Street retailers. Chains, nonetheless, are not-so-gradually changing the nature o f the Marketplace, in the opinion o f many Burlingtonians. National outlets are driving up rents along the

vacant storefront previously. occupied by Boomers. Profits made by nationwide retailers, obviously, leave the local com m unity and thus pro duce few

indirect investments. “The money does stay here” when consumers buy a gallon of milk from Tunbridge-based Organic Cow, notes company co-owner Bunny Flint. Along with milk, her firm purchases grain from local farmers and has bought a mill in Bethel. “Certainly,” Flint adds, “we’re more attuned to the needs o f farmers in the area” than are two out-of-state companies that are providing serious com peti tion for Organic Cow. Her firm recently entered into a partnership with H ood Dairy in order to enhance its processing and distribution capacity. But Flint intends to m aintain Organic Cow as a Northeastern regional business rather than attem pting to go national — which is the ambi tion driving her two com peti tors, Organic Valley of Wisconsin and Colorado-based Horizon. “O ne o f the main points about organic is that it’s sustainable, and I don’t think organic milk is sustainable on a national basis,” Flint says. In a free-market system, it’s ultimately the consumers who decide whether a community retains a distinctive flavor or becomes as indistinguishably bland as most of America. T he outcome isn’t clear yet for Vermont, but the initial indi cations aren’t all that encourag ing for those Davids still unvanquished by Goliaths. “An abom ination like Shelburne Road or, even more so, Taft Corners, show what can happen to the entire area,” says Gary Chassman. “People may realize too late that some thing irreplaceable has been lost,” he adds, quoting singer Joni Mitchell: ‘You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” ®

HELLO, 0LLIE fin e rs tw h ile c r u is e r g e ts b a c h on the board

ack in the halcyon days o f my youth, in the years between H o t Wheels and my first car, I wasn’t exactly a “skate-rat” — the term hadn’t been coined yet. But I owned a board and did my fair share o f riding. Mostly it was just slaloming downhill to The Clash’s version o f “I Fought the Law” ringing from a boombox. T h at was nearly 20 years ago. T hen I was your average suburban teenager looking for kicks from gravity, warm Miller and a few friends. Today, too m any microbrews have had their way with my midsection, and e-mails announcing the births o f my friends’ children confirm my generational status. But despite my advancing years, I ’m not over m y infatu ation with gravity, nor, entire ly, with the rebel thing. So, given the choice between a story on baseball or skate

boarding, I made a bee-line to the B Side to bo board and try to recapture a little piece o f my youth. “Skateboards have gone through a few evolutions since the ’70s,” informs B Side Manager Zack Eberz as we chat about board design and the way things were. In my day, I tell him, I rode a short, homemade board improvised out o f hard clay rollerskate wheels and a single wobbly front tire on perma nent loan from my m other’s vacuum clean er. It was probably the first, and last, tricycledesign skateboard. Eberz smiles and shakes his head at the notion. For my safety, he lends me an over sized 36-by-9-inch cruising board with four soft urethane

wheels, and mentions that I can catch the younger crowd doing their thing in front o f the Courthouse. “After five, o f course, so they don’t get a ticket,” he adds, as I head home to swap my Birkenstocks for high-tops. O u t on the street, wear ing the closest thing I own to skate attire — long khaki Army shorts, purple Cons and a T-shirt — I push off toward yesteryear and a mellow slope in downtown Burlington. My plan is sim ple: Spend some time redis covering the feel o f down hill cruising, then check out the youngsters performing their tricks. O f course, few things are simple where the laws o f nature and one’s memories intersect.

Eberz’ oversized cruising board is like a titanium Big Bertha golf driver; any hack should be able to use one. But he had neglected to m ention that it has a m ind o f its own. As I attem pt to scooter down the street, the board veers adamantly toward a parked Toyota, forcing me to aban don ship or risk a pair o f bro ken patellas. Picking up the board to discipline it and get back on course, a high school kid sails nonchalantly by, car rying some groceries and wearing a grin that says, “D ude, I saw that.” A little more self-conscious now, I check for traffic and any potential peanut galleries before pushing off again. I establish a modicum o f con trol until an intersection serves as an excuse to dis

m ount and take a breather. Another skateboarder, this one riding one o f the new super-long downhill cruisers, blows through the four-way stop w ithout looking. My attitude is already changing. Near my home at the bottom o f College Street, I’ve often seen — and heard — skateboarders descending the hill with an apparent death wish. There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell they can stop at that last intersection, and if they lose their balance, acne will be the least o f their epidermal concerns. “Basically you have to pray that nobody’s coming at the stop sign,” Eberz had conceded. Now, I’m trying to become part o f their tribe, adopting their carefree atti tude, expecting traffic to watch out for me. Miraculously, it does. W hile I’m standing at the top o f my intended downhill route and trying to get up the nerve to set out, cars circle cautiously around me. The drivers seem to sense that S som ething’s not quite right: m Are my skateboard and receding hairline sending conflicting messages? W hen I finally get on and ride, it’s just how I remember it — only the m od ern equipm ent makes it even better. Once again, I’m slaloming down a hill, bend ing at the knees, unweighting, feeling gravity at work. It reminds me o f skiing down a m ountain, or, more exactly, snowboarding. N ot that I would know; my friends and I rode Snurfers when snow boards were just a gleam in Jake Carpenter’s eye. Several runs later I’m feel ing good — not good enough for a really big hill, m ind you, but confident enough to join the kids to see what I can learn. Heading down to the Ledges, I notice a pack o f skateboarders taking advan tage o f the sm ooth blacktop C o n tin u e d on p a g e 1 8

parking Lot behind the Cathedral o f the Immaculate Conception. Feeling way out o f m y league and out o f place, I join the small crowd watch ing a dozen or so skateboarders defy gravity, controlling their boards as if they had hands at the ends o f their feet. M ark Wood, at 22, is one o f the oldest and best riders in the lot. H e’s also kind enough to take me under his wing to explain an “ollie,” the jum p that serves as the basis for all other tricks. T he critical task, he says, is snapping the tail, which combines with forward m om entum to project the board airborne. After dem on strating and adding a few m inor tips regarding foot posi tion, W ood shrugs and con cludes, “Just kind o f ollie Yeah, right. A nearby 16year-old girl in bell-bottoms and a flower-power blouse may be able to ollie all over the place, but my one concerted effort sends me flying — toward the concrete. I read the other day that ’70s pun k leg end Iggy Pop recently dove off a concert stage and dislocated his shoulder when his fans failed to catch him. “Iggy, wherever you are,” I’m think ing, “I feel your pain.” “Yeah, it hurts w hen you fall,” W ood confirms before he and a friend, John Unger, jum p a curb and head the short distance to the Ledges. I do m y best to follow to the popular spot, really just a knee-high wall in front o f the Courthouse where skateboard ers jum p, bum p and slide in a variety o f maneuvers. W ood and Unger stick m ost o f their ollies and appropriately nam ed “grinds” as I watch and listen —• including to their talk about the need for a skate board park.

In fact, one can’t get on a skateboard in Burlington with out hearing about or feeling the need for a legal place to ride. Private property, Church Street, parking garages and sidewalks are all off limits. And as I head hom e past the Cathedral parking lot, I run right into the heart o f issue. T he Burlington Police D epartm ent has a standing let ter from the diocese asking them to keep skateboarders out o f the lot, and Officer Kim Burbo is dutifully on the job. As luck would have it, 10 minutes separate me from my status as an upstanding citizen and her list o f duly warned “unlawful trespassers.” Like most Burlington cops, Officer Burbo carries a sense o f hum or and a mellow atti tude as her best weapons. After patiently dealing w ith a nottoo-respectfol rider, she says in m y direction, “There’s got to be a place for them to go. N o t all skateboarders are rude and obnoxious.” N o t everyone, however, has so generous an assessment. Some o f m y neighbors, recent college graduates, com plain that skateboarders have destroyed their picnic tables and benches by using them as ramps and jumps. Listening to banging skateboards in the middle o f the night can make otherwise reasonable people more than a little cranky. I’ve been bothered by skateboard noise in the n ig h t myself. B ut now, w hen I hear a boarder schussing down the hill, I think Til be m ore wor ried about the rider. And I may be middle-aged, b u t when I go down to the W aterfront for some event next summer, I’m hoping I’ll see a skate park. I’ll be the old guy with the sticker that says: “Skateboarding is not a crime.” ©

“Leverage,” as Oxford would call it. “We call him ‘the bigger ham m er,”’ Bergeron says o f Oxford, adding he has yet to see a broken bike get the best o f his boss. Oxford was 16 when he dis covered his knack for fixing things. He worked mostly on motorcycles until Tier got him hooked on bikes. “Abstract reasoning” is how Oxford explains his mechanical talent — “the ability to envision what the original designer or manufacturer had in m ind and be able to see your way through the system.” That, combined with car ing, cost-sensitivity and a will ingness to get your hands dirty, is what makes a good bike mechanic, according to Oxford. “Sometimes putting it back where it was is not enough. You’ve gotta improve it. You can fight the wrench or let it work for you.” A self-described “individu alist,” Oxford applies the same philosophy to his personal life. To the casual observer, he looks like the classic former hippy — an anti-nuke, anti war founder o f the M iddlebury Natural Foods Coop. But Oxford practices what he protests: Between bike jobs, and boat building, he constructed a home in Cornwall that is totally selfsufficient, powered by wind, sun and wood. But Oxford is not totally

anywhere I want, any time I want, and I don’t have to walk to the top,” is how Oxford explains his airborne interests, which started with prenatal plane rides in his grandm oth er’s Cessna. W hen she died last January, Nancy Hopkins Tier left her plane to his younger brother, whom Oxford concedes is the “more experienced pilot.” After a short stint in the bike shop, Glenn Oxford joined the Navy and became a fighter pilot. He flew the same patrol as Scott O ’Grady, an hour after the lat ter got shot down over Bosnia. Oxford pulls a picture of his own plane from his wallet — a Fisher Koala Ultralight built of wood and fabric. He keeps it in a homemade hang er on nearby farm, where the farmer is cool but the neigh bors have started complaining about noise. He’ll probably have to find an alternate site to launch the replica Zeppelintype airship he plans to build one day. The design, which combines his vast knowledge of bicycle and aviation engi neering, is already done. “Bicycle mechanics tend to be premiere problem-solvers,” Oxford offers in a rare m om ent o f hubris. Like the W right Brothers, for example — who also got their start on two wheels. “T hat’s the whole joy o f repair work — figuring things out.” ®

Peter O xford Knight o f the Adjustable W rench,” as he refers to his profession, and has earned him lifelong “big Buddha” status at the Bike and Ski Touring Center in Middlebury. For 25 years, Oxford has been stretching, bending, adjusting, lubing, truing, fix ing and test-riding broken bikes in downtown M iddlebury with his partner and uncle, Dave Tier. He has seen freewheel gear clusters give way to cassettes. Allrounder handlebars evolve to arrow ones. Sew-up tires turn big and nobby. At 42, he may be the only bike mechanic in Vermont v/ho can take apart and reassemble a three-speed hub. Oxford and Tier work — as they have for more than two decades — in low-key, welllubed clutter. T he upstairs hosts a tangle o f bike, ski and camping merchandise, includ ing wooden skis from the for mer Soviet Union. T he down stairs is a tool-strewn garage with a great view o f O tter Creek. There, amongst myriad new and used parts, Oxford instructs young mechanics in the fine art o f fixing bikes. “Zen and the art o f bicycle maintenance? T h at’s Pete,” says 21-year-old mechanic Bill Bergeron after a quick consul tation w ith Oxford about a rare rod brake. Along w ith col league Chris Grace, Bergeron is on the bottom o f a long list o f grease monkeys trained by

up on the Hill with a lot of Senators “behind closed doors” and doesn’t have time to talk to the press. And I guess nobody would even have asked what was so important up on the Hill if my friend Michelle Lopez hadn’t grabbed the microphone to ask what was so goddamned important up on the Hill that the AIDS czarina couldn’t take a few minutes to talk to the press and address the nation by answering a few goddamned questions. Now, Michelle t$ a woman of color, I need to tell you, who lives in the Bronx with her two / children, one of whom is also -infected with HIV, and who, like Michelle, needs about $20,000 a year for medications ? just to remain cost-effective. Michelle is getting a litde bit / / ; / tired o f hearing how AIDS has 1 now become “a chronic man- -; ageable disease,” what with the protease inhibitors and every t h i n g , and she’s saying that to ; NBC, CBS, CNN and every body else at the Press Club. , / * / : , “I’ve got news for you,"; Michelle is saying. “AIDS is not a manageable disease. We are not managing it very well.” But nobody’s listening because the AIDS czarina isn’t showing up and all of the suits are going home.' Zf.- , n 0 ! So I guess I wasn’t in the best of moods when I left the Press Club in 100-degree heat ./ to catch a train for New York City. An ordinary Amtrak pas senger train, please understand, that’s supposed to leave Washington at a certain time and arrive in New York a few hours later, but which took seven hours to get there this time because it kept stopping dead in the tracks to let the Metroliner pass by it. Three times this happened on the way to New York — the passenger train got shunted to the side and delayed for hours so that cans full of businessmen //could glide by right on sched- / ule, ranting and barking into their cellular phones on their “Did you hear this news?”

ohn Beal is a broker by trade, but he has boats in his blood. His great-grand mother, M ary Powell, owned Powell Shipping Lines in Newburgh, New York, and his grandfather owned the Newburgh ferry. Beal, now 44, has been sailing since he was eight. So it was no surprise to his wife Sharon, a col lector o f Adirondack decorative arts, when Beal began to collect sailing pond models 15 years ago. Together they purchased a 36-inch sloop from a shop in Cape Cod. “It was bro ken in half lengthwise,” Beal recalls, “which is generally the case with pond models. I bought it for $20 or $23 to restore and display in our house.” Now Beal proudly shows five pond models — along with five non-sailing ones — in his C harlotte home by the lake, and has restored six more for other collectors. In the heyday o f pond models, the 1920s through 1930s, sailing races were regu lar events at city parks. O n race days men would converge at urban ponds, adjust their rudders, trim their sails and launch. If all went well, they would reclaim their tiny boats on the opposite bank. Although there’s no one standard for pond models, Beal notes that certain restric tions do apply. Since they were sailed w ithout a skipper, the models had to have self-tack

ing sails; hence the majority o f pond models in the 1930s were Marconi (triangular) rigs. Pond models fall into two categories: toys and hobbies.' Collectors like Beal distinguish the two by checking for overall balance, sophistication in the design o f the rig, and how well it can be adjusted and trimmed. Some models were one-of-a-kind, he explains; others were mass-produced. Beal describes the chal lenges he faces in restoring pond models with a smile broader than the 13-inch cut ter rig he just finished for a

or varnishing, reconstructing the standing rigging, designing the patterns for the sails (which he sends out to be sewn), staining new sails with a mixture of cold tea, salt and vinegar to match the boat’s age in appearance, attaching the sails, and building a wooden display stand. Despite his meticulous attention to the rigging, he prefers to display his models w ithout the sails. “T hen,” he says, “you can real ly focus on the boat design.” Beal looks for pond models just about everywhere. “Many people have these models in

HI Vincent J. Fernandez Connecticut collector who had inherited the boat from his grandfather. “T he hardest part is finding the strings and metal clips that match the period when the model was originally m anufactured,” he reports. T h o u fffh rh a s been known to wind threads together to make string, Beal’s found the best range of string sizes come from shoe manufacturers. For the metal clips, which are no longer made, he buys spring clips from hardware stores and grinds them to the proper shape. Beal estimates that it takes 13 to 27 hours of meticulous labor to restore a pond model. “W hen you add in all the wait ing time for paint or glue to dry, the time to complete the process is more than triple that,” he notes. Steps include assessing the condition, remov ing layers o f paint, repainting

their attics and barns,” he says. “Usually they’re in terrible shape. Hobby models almost always ended up as children’s playthings, but any o f these can be repaired.” Before moving to Vermont, Beal placed three ads in an ‘ antiques publication looking for pond models to restore. Three years later, he’s still get ting inquiries. “I have a stack o f letters from people all over the country,” he enthuses, “with boats that range from plastic tub boats to four-footlong, full-blown pond m od els.” For all that, he’s happy to take on more. Owners have been amazed at Beal’s transformations; by the time he’s done with them, pond models in good condi tion can sell for $650 to $3000. T hat’s smooth sailing.

By Rick Kisonak love to watch. I’ll watch just about anything: stomach-turn ing surgical procedures, church services, public access guitar lessons. If it’s late and I’ve had a few martinis, I might even slip into a blissful Weather Channel coma and awake the next day to find myself a fountain of unappre ciated severe storm trivia. But amazingly, there are things on TV even I can’t watch. I find it hard to believe anyone actually watches them, but that’s what makes this country the melting pot that it is, I suppose. Not to mention a world leader in the sale and production of plasdc ab crunchers. For example...

“ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT” I’ve owned Hoover appliances that didn’t suck up as much as these meatheads. I hate them all. Even the ones who leave for more prestigious careers as laughing stock new-age doodlers. They make my skin crawl. These vacu ously grinning pinheads are noth ing more than shills for flavor-ofthe-second semitalents, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the pro gram were secretly funded by the showbiz conglomerates whose products it shamelessly hustles. Sure, it looks like harmless, mind less fun, but — take it from me — “E.T.” has been a major cata lyst in the sludging of our culture. The show’s impact has been as profound as its content has been insipid. Did I mention they make my skin crawl? “MTV’S REAL WORLD” Who says there’s no good hor ror on TV anymore? Sure, “The Twilight Zone” and “Outer Limits” have gone to that big syn dicator in the sky. In their wake, however, has been spawned a broadcast of unprecedented TV terror. And the scariest part is, its all real. The music channel keeps stuffing overdesigned townhouses with irritating twentysomething whiners and then standing back to watch the fun as they get on each other’s nerves. These youth almost make me wistful for the draft. LONG DISTANCE PHONE SERVICE ADS Can you believe the money these companies spend on televi sion airtime just to tease each other like teenage girls? Can you imagine how cheap it would be to call Bejing if they’d just knock off their prime-time catfights? SOAP OPERAS Maybe it’s a chromosomal thing. Maybe guys are simply bio logically incapable of appreciating

c m

long, drawn-out and hugely improbable stories in which every body overemotes and talks so non stop you’d think there was a law against taking a breath. Every thing’s a crisis with these cryba bies, and nobody seems to have a sense of humor. I wonder if guys who undergo hormonal therapy prior to a sex change suddenly find themselves more and more interested...

kitschy, ironic kind of way, but let’s be honest: They’re really just annoying. And what’s with that blond? She’s in programs for like a dozen different products put out by different companies and, no matter what wacky piece of over priced crap she’s trying to move, she carries on like it’s the greatest boon to humankind since the electric light. This woman will shill for anyone. Every time I turn on the TV she’s with a different man, pushing a different product. Infoharlot!

“THE TONIGHT SHOW” I look at this as an apparent hostage situation as opposed to a talk show, because this cant be the REGIS & KATHIE LEE real Jay Leno. Remember, the guy Am I missing something? Is who used to drop in on “Late there a point to this show? These Night with David Letterman” in two self-absorbed nitwits come its NBC heyday and actually take on, drink coffee, tell us what they the comedy a level higher?

working facilities, let alone appraise their archi tectural merit. Further diminishing design con siderations was the fact that farmers in a cold climate had little time to devote to construc tion pro jects. And many had scant money for materials and tools not already at hand. The Puritan ethic, with its indifference — or outright hostility — to aesthetic pleasure, also helped insure that 19th-century New England farm buildings would be as aus tere in appearance as the glassand-steel workplaces designed decades later by Mies van der Rohe and his modernist disci ples. At the same time, asserts Thomas Visser in his newly published Field Guide to New England Barns and Farm Buildings, “through this austeri ty we may also detect an ele gance o f grace and simplicity.” Defenders o f m id-20th-century

urban architecture would make the same claim, though they may not be able to substantiate it as persuasively as Visser does in this much-needed handbook. Copious photos and draw ings illustrate the expert text by the interim director o f the his toric preservation program at the University o f Vermont. Through these words and pic tures, Visser pays due respect to the nearly forgotten creators o f a rural architecture that may itself soon be consigned to oblivion. Despite growing resis tance to the loss o f regional character, many o f the types of buildings described in Visser’s book are so modest in their design and so advanced in their dilapidation that they may find few protectors when developers seek to raze whatever stands in the way o f a new condo cluster. All the more glaring, then, is the Field Guides, failure to plead for preservation o f what’s presented in its pages. The book’s flyleaf notes that about 1000 o f Vermont’s remaining 30,000 barns are lost each year to fire, collapse or the bulldoz er. But Visser doesn’t explicitly argue against destruction o f the countryside’s built environ ment, and he neglects even to mention the operators who dis assemble old Vermont barns and reconstruct them on estates o f rich flatlanders. Such omis

sions may reflect Visser’s assumption that most readers will already share his steward ship sensibility. Still, no harm would have been done by adding a section on lessons learned from preservationist campaigns — particularly since the book conspicuously lacks a concluding overview. O ne o f its strengths, by con trast, is the detailed opening account o f the historical evolu tion o f New England farm buildings. Visser traces the region’s agrarian architecture from the “English barns” o f the colonial era, with their Elizabethan or even medieval characteristics, to the concrete stave silos and corrugated metal dairy barns o f the 1960s. Along the way, he shows how the design o f barns and outbuild ings responded in subtle ways to changing needs and econom ic conditions. A com m itm ent to sound husbandry practices accounted for some o f these architectural modifications. W indows, for example, were punched out o f barn walls as farmers came to realize their practical im por tance. As one speaker declared at an 1870 meeting o f the Farmers C lub in Randolph, “All animals love the sunlight, and the more windows the better. W hen the sun shines, my lambs crowd together in it, and seem

J u ly 2 4 -3 0 A R M S (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Science News reports that contracting certain childhood diseases may ultimately be good for you. For instance, early respiratory infections might stimulate a kid’s production of natural antibodies, preventing her from developing allergies and asthma later. With this in mind, Aries, let’s imagine there might be psychological parallels. What if, for instance, some of the emotional pain you suffered at a tender age actually built up your skill at avoiding pain as an adult? What if the very events that made you sad and blue back then could help make you clear and bright now? Meditate on these astounding possibilities as you slip into your second childhood in the next few weeks. T A U R U S (Apr. 20-May 20): “We drive into the future using only our rearview mirror,” Marshall McLuhan used to say. And frankly, that aspect of the human animal normally depresses me. But in your case, Taurus — at least for the next few weeks — it’s a highly recommended approach. There’s no way you’ll be able to reach the best possible tomorrow unless you do some serious focusing on and tinkering with your

past.

on chocolate-covered ants. C A N C E R (June 21-July 22): During the course of my career, I’ve experimented extensively to discover which phase of myastrological cycle is the very best time to ask for a raise from the newspapers I write for. The evidence is clear: late July and the first half of August. At this time, publishers seem most receptive to my demands — I mean my requests — and are more likely to acknowledge that my column is among their readers’ favorites. Being a Cancerian like you, I can’t help but believe that the prime time for my financial success is yours as well. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): I hate to say it, Leo, but last week you were sort of like a stale pretzel log with one nibble taken out of it and dropped on the floor in a hard-to-reach spot. I might even go so for as to say that a little mold had begun to grow on you in the place where you were in contact with a puddle of dirty old dishwater. In recent days, though, you seem to have been undergoing a radical metamorphosis. This week I predict you’ll be more like a cool ranch tortilla chip dipped in spicy guacamole and sitting oft a designer iariaoice social e ^ f tY o u ’ll be

all intents and purposes you’ll be receiving a few visits from characters like the Kallikantzaroi in the week ahead. I suppose you could try what the Greeks did to repel the tricksters: Burn old shoes and hang a pig’s jawbone by the door. But I’d also like to suggest that at least some of the mischief coming towards you is life’s way of loosening and lightening you up. Maybe you should even go out and solicit it. L I B R A (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As you cruise into the heart of the Party Hearty Season, I’ll offer you two approaches to squeezing the most benefits out of the mad social whirl. First, here’s Dennis Rodman’s perspective: “The key to partying is in the mental preparation... It’s visualization — you’ve got to visualize what’s going to happen, how you’re going to drink, how you’re going to feel, if you’re going to throw u p ...” For an alternative view, here’s the Sufi ecstatic poet, Rumi: “The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the threshold where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don’t go

words, the kind of places where you Scorpios thrive — especially now, as you dive into an astrological phase when your power to stalk the Grail will be at a peak. S A G I T T A R I U S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The three-year-old in you wants to waddle over to that big old spider-like thing up ahead and stomp on it. The scientist in you would like to capture it, perform experiments on it, and study it to find out more about its nature and intentions. The poet in you might prefer to observe it as it goes about its business, allowing it to play upon your imagination and give you ideas for how you could benefit from becoming more like it. Which of these three aspects of your psyche, I wonder, will win out? C A P R I C O R N (Dec 22-Jan. 19): Forget about how romance has been portrayed in every movie you’ve seen. Exorcise your unconscious belief that the nature of love was pretty thoroughly revealed in your parents’ relationship. Free your mind of all obviously pornographic images, as well as the bizarre ideas about eros that pass for normal in fashion magazines and

A Q U A R I U S (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An intensive analysis of your astrological aspects reveals that you desperately need to work on your kissing skills. I’m not saying they’ve deteriorated, but neither have they been steadily improving. And that’s unacceptable — especially now, when the Smooching Season is about to kick into high gear. What can you do? REHEARSE! STUDY! Practice and explore new techniques by Frenching the back of your hand, or watching romantic movie scenes, or puckering up to pictures of beautiful people in magazines (no need to invest in a blow-up doll). And to catch up on the latest trends in tongue-licking and other state-of-the-art developments, I highly recommend the book, The Art o f Kissing, by William Cane.

P I S C E S (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): So begins the dangling time of the year for you, Pisces. Reminds me of that old Camper Van Beethoven song in which the singer croons over and over, “Everything seems to be up in the air at this time.” Hopefully you’ll be crafty enough to at least maneuver yourself into a comfortable position: not suspended upside-down oyer a precipice, for instance, but upright, well-balanced arid not too for off the ground. ® ■

pher "street H g k T ^ ^ Another way to eliminate excess light is by buy ing wrap-around glasses or side shields; each, however, has its own disadvantage. Side shields eliminate peripheral vision, and wrap-arounds often distort images, which, Gfeehia says, can lead to eye fatigue. Another solution, Millay suggests: Buy a broadbrimmed hat. For people who spend a lot of time the water; Greenia also recommends polarized sun glasses, which minimize the reflection from a car hood or water. But snow skiers, beware: Polarized' lenses can prevent you from seeing patches of black ice. Both Millay and Greenia agree it is best to cus tomize sunglasses to both your visual needs and your year-round outdoor activities. Sunglasses can set you back a few dollars or a few hundred, but, according to Greenia, a bigger price tag does not necessarily mean better lenses. O ften, you’re paying for a trendy brand name.
