D E M O C R A T I C SHILL Who'd a-thunk it: Peter Freyne shilling for a conservative Democrat [Inside Track]. But there he was, printing without comment Peter Shumlin's statement that "Anthony and I agree on almost every issue." Really? If it was someone else, I am sure Freyne could not have resisted pointing out that Pollina, with other advocates for human services, made clear last January that the financial crisis was (and continues to be) the direct result of a decade of tax cuts for the rich — promoted by Governor Dean and carried out by Peter Shumlin. Or, he could have pointed out that Anthony proposes implementing a Vermont healthcare program, based on the recommendations of the Lewin Report, that would provide health care for every Vermonter and save over $100 million, while Shumlin opposes the single-payer concept, and will only tinker at the margins of the system while protecting the insurance companies' profits. Freyne could even have gone to town on.SJiumlin's gift of public funding (through tax credits) to the Financial Services industry, despite the fact that the promised employment growth never materialized. But then he would have had to acknowledge that Anthony has argued that development tools like tax credits should be used where they are needed, to provide a more solid economic base for Vermonters. In fact, Freyne seems so

determined to undermine Pollina's campaign for Lt. Governor that he even tried to brand Anthony a spoiler, saying, "Apparently, Pollina's only goal [is to] deny victory to a Democrat." M r Freyne is so in the know about Vermont politics that it is surprising he doesn't know most private polls show Pollina in the lead. Spoiler? Only if you think that only Democrats or Republicans have the right to be elected. Give us a break, Peter. A Progressive Lt. Governor won't be the end of the world, just the end of the monopoly on power by the political parties that brought us this crisis in the first place. — Michael Bayer Monkton Bayer is State Treasurer for the Progressive Party.

community. With jobs front and center in this campaign, Racine knows jobs first-hand. At the same time, Racine's sense of public service and seasoned experience shined through his speech. His long-term public service makes him most qualified for the office he seeks. And his sense of the important social issues of our day, the environment, health care and education is as balanced and fair-minded as one could hope for in a leader. Here is a man who is appropriately concerned about our lakes and streams, and our children, on a personal level, with the seasoning to know how to best address these concerns as a government leader.

Meet the Prez?

Democrats with their sights set on the party's nomination includes only one governor, Vermont's Howard Dean. He's a fusion Democrat: a social liberal and fiscal conservative who gets high marks from the National Rifle Association and wants to roll back Bush's tax cut to finance a national health plan." A "fusion Democrat," eh? Has a nice ring to it. Pinch me! Pinch me! Pinch me!

Pinch me! Pinch me! Pinch me! Is this really happening? Does Vermont Gov. Howard Dean M.D. really have a shot at the White House or is all this just a dream?

Wide Loads Chuck West, the coroner of Kane County, Illinois, said that his office needs new equipment to handle a recent influx of "larger bodies." H e told the Kane County Board Public Safety Committee that over the past 18 months, his office has had to deal with seven deceased persons who each weighed more than 500 pounds. T h e largest weighed 700 pounds. "Right now, our equipment is rated for 300 pounds," he said, pointing out that the problem is complicated because many obese people die in their homes or under unusual circumstancts, requiring more work than if they died in hospitals or nursing homes, whose staffs can assist in lifting and moving the dead weight.

Asstrology Ulf Buck, 39, a blind German psychic, claimed he could tell peoples futures by feeling their naked buttocks. Having spent many years training his fingers, he told Reuters news agency that backsides, like palms, reveal a person's character and destiny. "An apple-shaped, muscular bottom indicates someone w h o is charismatic, dynamic, very confident and often creative. A person who enjoys life," Buck said. "A pear-shaped bottom suggests someone very steadfast, patient and down-to-earth." H e said his clients range "from cleaning ladies

and secretaries to prominent members of the community."

Near-Fatal Attraction Several children in Sheffield, England, were hospitalized with holes developing in their noses and genitals as a result of using industrial-strength magnets to simulate body piercings. According to the Emergency Medical Journal, the children held the magnets onto their faces and genitals by placing other magnets inside their mouths, noses or on the other side of their organs. T h e magnets attracted each other with such force that they cut off the blood supply and allowed the flesh to decay. "I don't know where the magnets came from," Derek Burke, a doctor at Sheffield Children's Hospital, said. "Someone must have d u m p e d them, and the kids got hold of them and started trading them in the playground."

Big-Bang Theory C a n n o n balls recovered from ancient shipwrecks have been exploding on the desks of archaeologists. Robert Child of the National Museums and Galleries of Wales told New Scientist magazine that the submerged metal balls react with oxygen when they are retrieved to cause rapid oxidation, which produces massive amounts of heat, causing the balls to explode.

BY JERNIGAN PONTIAC I noticed a gaggle of friends exchanging hugs as I approached the Sweetwaters corner in downtown Burlington. Slow down, I thought — this could mean the end of their night on the town and one or more of them might need a ride home. Actually it was subtler than "thought." After two decades of hacking, my reactions out on the street have become instinctive. When it comes to the ebb and flow and rhythm of cab driving, I leave the cerebral cortex behind and enter the realm of the intuitive. My hunch did not go unrewarded, as one of the group — a tall, blond-haired man — turned and flagged me down. He looked to be in his twenties and nicely lean; that is, he appeared athletic, not skinny. His clothes were attractive, too, and that's not something I tend to focus on — in men, anyway. I especially admired the brown summer jacket, 1 which looked like ultra-soft brushed suede. "Take me up to Malletts Bay?" he asked through the open passenger window. "I don't see why the heck not," I replied. "Jump in the front." As we pushed off, I noticed his knees were cramped up to his chest. "You know, you can move that seat back," I suggested. "You are one large unit, man. Whaddaya, about six-six?" "Thanks," he said as he reached under his seat and released the latch, sliding the seat all the way. "And yeah, I'm just about that tall." "So, are you up visiting?" I asked. From the stylish way he dressed, I took him for a flatlander. Not that Vermonters can't put on the dog with the best of 'em, but his attire seemed veryNew Yorky. U "Yeah, I'm visiting my folks," he replied. "I grew up here, though. Colchester-born and bred." "Where ya living now?" "I've been living in Manhattan the past few years."

"Wow, the Big Apple. Ya working there?" "I sure am. I'm a model." "Holy crow! You mean like a male model?" As the words left my mouth I got the inanity of my question. Sometimes I wish my brain-mouth connection had a tape-delay feature. "Yeah. How good a female model do you think I'd make?" He was looking at me with faux exasperation. I got the feeling he was used to getting weird reactions to his profession. "Sorry, man. It's just — you know, I don't think I've ever met a male model before. What do you do? Like, catalogs, fashion shows? "All of that," he replied. "I've done some modeling on T V shows, too, like 'The View' and 'The Today Show.'" "Get outta here! That's, like, way cool." "It is way cool," he said, chuckling at my decidedly uncool enthusiasm.

"I know what you mean, man," I replied with a big smile. "I know what you mean." My customer directed me to a relatively undeveloped area of the bay, and on a dirt road off a dirt road we came upon some truly luxurious single-family homes. "My father built all of these," the guy said, beaming with pride. "Yup, he sure did. Hey, do you have a minute?" he added. "I could take you up to the job site where he's building a new house for the family. It's just down a ways from our existing home." "Sure," I replied. "That'd be great." At the end of the road, on the lakefront, we came to a massive, three-story house under construction. The exterior was a golden-hued wood, and I counted three stone fireplaces. It was hard to believe the structure was for one family; it looked more like a small hotel. We pulled to a stop in the makeshift parking lot out front. "This is magnificent," I said. "It must be a dream come true for your dad." "It sure is," he said. "And he deserves it. He's built up his construction company over a lifetime of hard work. He's a real self-made man. "What does your father think of your job? I mean, what could be further from house-building in Vermont?" "He thinks it's great. He's proud of me that I'm doing something that I enjoy and making a good living to boot." We drove back to his folks' home. I turned on the dome light to help him count the money for the fare. It was at that point I finally got a good look at him. I could see how he got into the modeling business: He resembled one of those blond, blue-eyed, ail-American types in a Ralph Lauren ad. "Well," I said, "now I can see — you are friggin' gorgeous." He let out a big laugh. "That ain't going to get you a better tip, you know." "Hey," I said, laughing along with him, "you can't blame a guy for trying." (7)

ail-American types in a Ralph Lauren ad Sometime around 1978, I realized that not only was I not cool, I never would be. It was a valuable insight. Since then, I haven't worried about it. We were nearing the end of the Northern Connector and about to cross over the new Heineberg Bridge — it's roughly 10 years old, so I should probably retire the "new." I glanced at my customer, who was gazing out at the moonlit landscape. He looked peaceful. "Jeez, it must seem so provincial back here in Vermont with the life you now lead," I said. The guy suddenly straightened up in his seat, like I had struck a nerve. "Screw that!" he said. "There's no place like Vermont. The people here are so awesome. I love being back home."

go fish Is culture catching: Due north of the Williston whale tails, a landlocked salmon is taking shape along the South Hero recreational path. Three sculptors from the United Kingdom are crafting the state's newest work of public art — a marble "big one" that acknowledges the aqueous origins of the Champlain Valley. The piece is destined for the cut in the railroad causeway that connects Colchester to the Islands. "It will be very dramatic," says Elaine Sinclair-Fowler, describing the break in the narrow bikeway as "the most beautiful place in the world." Sinclair-Fowler, who is co-publisher of The Islander weekly, personally financed the project as "a gift to the community." The public can view the work-in-progress on Saturday at 11 a.m. Temporary ferry service will link the two sides of the strip the third weekend in August. Otherwise, the only way across is a short swim. hot dog? No canine casualties are noted at Huntington Gorge, but dogs are just as susceptible to slipping into the churning waters. Frankie and Laurie Falese — of Junior's Restaurant in Colchester — learned that lesson the hard way when their pooch, Hooch, went for a much-too-sudden swim on July 2. "He went over the falls and we lost him in the white water," says Laurie. "Then we saw him trapped in a whirlpool 50 feet down. Nobody could get down to him, and there was nothing for him to climb up on." Forty-Five dramatic minutes passed as good Samaritans sprang into action. A group of boys lowered a rope to the dog, which he grabbed with his teeth. But it was Rod West — a former rescue-squad worker who now runs a vehicle recovery business — who hauled Hooch out of the hole. He raced home, got his climbing equipment and lowered himself into the whirlpool. "Rod had a harnass, Hooch put his front paws around his neck and everybody started pulling them up out of the water," Laurie recalls. "By the time we got Hooch collected, everybody had dispersed." The couple bought an ad in Seven Days trying to locate the rescuers. It worked. O n Thursday the Wests are coming to dinner, so the Faleses can return the favor — in food. dolce vita It would take a lot of gelato to melt the frozen-fat monopoly of Ben & Jerrys. But Leonardos Vermont-made Italian gelato and sorbet is showing up with increasing regularity — and diversity of flavors — in local markets and restaurants. "This is our coming-out summer," says distributor Michael Lesser. Barre-based Carlo De Prado makes the stuff, just like his father and grandfather before him. De Prado ran a - gelateria north of Venice before he came to the U.S. four and a half years ago. There is less air in Italian ice cream, he says, and small batches guarantee freshness. At maximum capacity, De Prado says he can crank out 3000 pints a week. Vive la dijferenza. mista vista He may be done running Americorps for George W. Bush, but 32-year-old Hartland resident Matt Dunne left his job to restart a political career in Vermont. He's running for the Windsor County seat vacated by singing senator Dick McCormack, who, coincidentally, just released three CDs of "Selected Songs." (Sounds like he had a hard time selecting.) Dunne served for eight years in the Vermont House, where he was a tireless champion of the arts. A cover story in a recent issue of the Brown alumni magazine recalls how he stayed up all night to draft a bill to establish the Vermont Film Commission. He'd been running Americorps Vista for three and half years when he got the call from McCormack. "I hadn't planned on making any decisions until after the wedding was over," Dunne says. He tied the knot two weeks ago with Sarah Taylor, a former reporter from the Valley News who just sold her first novel.

The shelves of City Market were the backdrop for a recent Sunday New York Times article about Burlington native and "shopping scholar" James Twitchell. His latest book is a celebration of conspicuous consumption. In Living It Up: Our Love Affair with Luxury, the part-time Charlotter takes an anthropological approach to excess and applauds it. At one point in the story, Twitchell takes a stroll through downtown Burlington, noting how Ann Taylor and Banana Republic have replaced the hardware stores and J.C. Penney.

he word "entrepreneurial," when used in association with architecture, is usually a harbinger of disaster. Those who fancy themselves entrepreneurs tend to build expecting a fast return on the buck, and that inevitably leads to cheap design and construction. Thus a tip of the cap is due Champlain College, which prides itself on being a scrappy, entrepreneurial institution. It is striving, in fact, to become a hightech, higher education institution in step with the times, and the future. A look at plans for further expansion suggests that college officials have decided good architecture attracts students and is thus worth the investment. This has significant consequences for Burlington — particularly the residential neighborhood around the school. C h a m plain College is poised to begin a $30-million construction project that, if completed as planned, will add three major new buildings to the historic Hill Section. Construction on the $10-million Center for Global Business and Technology was slated to begin on Maple Street until a lastminute Act 250 appeal — lodged on procedural grounds — stayed the groundbreaking. A new $13-million Student Life Complex, to replace the dismal and boxy, uncontextual Hamrick Hall, is also advancing through its permitting processes. The Main Street Suites and Conference Center is currently on hold, presumably in order to finish raising the necessary $6 million. College officials promise the project will move forward. All three buildings are the work of venerable Burlington architect Tom Cullins, ofTruex Cullins & Partners. H e also designed Champlain College's Miller Information Commons, which was completed in 1998. Miller is a good reference point for envisioning how the three new buildings will fit into the cityscape. At most other schools, Miller would be known as "the library."

But Champlain, which wishes to embrace technology and educate students in using it, has a dearth of books and thus opted to build a big computer center. T h e architectural challenge for the building was its chosen site on Summit Street, between two elegant, dignified, former mansions — one of which, Aiken Hall, was designed by A.B. Fisher, the dean of Victorian Vermont residential architects. T h e site also directly adjoins a tranquil garden long cherished by the neighborhood. W i t h the able assistance of his associate Mike McCann, Cullins put the building's few stacks in the basement and, aboveground, crafted an edifice that manages to pay homage to its Victorian neighbors while embracing a distinctly contemporary design sensibility. Beautiful and harmonious, Miller is a fitting backdrop for the public garden it overlooks. O n e need not look far to discover failed attempts at integrating the old and the new on area campuses. W i t h Bicentennial Hall, Middlebury College strove to evoke the feel of its distinctive signature building, Old Chapel, but ended up creating an outsized, grotesque parody whose fortress-like ambiance disfigures that college's skyline. T h e University of Vermont turned its glorious Billings Library into an underutilized relic by constructing an unremarkable addition and rechristening the complex a student center. Most real activity was consigned to this addition, and the life was sucked out of a masterpiece by H . H . Richardson, the greatest American architect of the 19th century. Champlain College has its share of graceless or nearly graceless buildings, too. T h e aforementioned Hamrick arrogantly ignores its context, perhaps because architects of the '50s and '60s thought they were reinventing architecture from scratch. Two 1980s buildings, Alumni Auditorium and the Hauke Center, apparently proceed from the equally dubious hypothesis that one can make a modern

Oddest of all is the Joyce Learning Center, whose east and west facades look like big, green, wooden billboards framed by brickwork and a pitched roof.

T h e form of the building is more straightforwardly modern than Miller, and the ghost of Hamrick will persist in the flat roof above the gymnasium.

painted shingles juxtaposed against red brick and pink granite; the elaborate fenestration; the division of the building mass itself into discrete modules that form a harmonious composition. But rather than imitate these things, the architect strove to create "current and future-oriented" details, using technologies and gestures that had not yet been invented in Fisher's time. Principally this is achieved through the use of glass. Circular windows are playful, plentiful and artfully positioned. A stair tower overlooking the garden is housed within a rounded curtain wall of glass. Particularly in the upper levels, where the views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks are a m o n g the best in town, glazing is likewise ubiquitous and welcome. Although Cullins does not use the word "postmodern" to

makes great insulation, and creating architecture in this manner literally makes buildings at one with their surrounding landscape. Residents of Harrington Terrace cannot be overjoyed with the prospect of their private lane being transformed into a collegiate thoroughfare — the Main Street Suites and Conference Center will be built at what is now the road's dead end.

B u t collectively the Cullins w o r k achieves s o m e t h i n g perhaps even more remarkable — solid architecture that adds to its historic neighborhood w i t h o u t merely imitating the established fabric. According to Cullins, credit goes to C h a m p l a i n College president Roger Perry for waging a successful struggle against expediency a n d mediocrity. In t u r n , Perry credits his family heritage. "I was b r o u g h t u p in a family business that specializes in paintings a n d restoration," h e explains.

W h e n t h e inevitable call to scale back was made, Perry recalls o n e trustee proclaiming: " G e n t l e m e n , this is no d u m p that y o u a n d I build commercially." Amen!

ast week we invited Seven Days readers to tell us whether the recently vandalized "Leapfroggers" sculpture should be returned to Church Street — and if not, what might go in its place. N o t that your preferences, or ours, have any hope of affecting the fate of the frolicking little girl-and-boy statue: T h e Church Street Marketplace Commission is currently raising money — soliciting donations, even! — to have it repaired. Still, the vehement opinions our query unleashed suggest that people love the opportunity to rant about that stuff called public art. O u r thanks to the readers who shared your views, pro or con. We can only imagine the impassioned responses we might have received if we'd asked what should replace, say, the World Trade Center Towers. If you missed the deadline and still want to be an Instant Art Critic — or react to the statements here — please send your missives to letters@sevendaysvt.com.

DO you think "Leaptroggers" should be restored to Chureh Street? Why or why not? If not what pub lie art would you like to see in its place?

Eric F o r d , COLCHESTER: As I walked by a pair of small feet and a pile of rust, my heart rose and I thought of many things. Has the public finally revolted against bad art? Did an angry mob of black-clad hipsters descend upon the block wielding blunt objects and torches? Did they carry handpainted signs and chant "death to tasteless art?" O r was it drunken vandals? Whatever the case, it's: BEAUTY, T R U T H and G O O D N E S S — 1; S T U PID, CREEPY STATUE — 0.

K i m KulowJones, BURLINGTON: Speaking as an art appreciator as well as someone who has a sculpture degree and an MFA, the statue of the "Leapfroggers" should go. This silly, maudlin statue has nothing to do with the Marketplace, Burlington, Vermont, or contemporary life in

the United States. And besides, it's ugly. Let's take this opportunity to put up something interesting or beautiful, or even leave the space open.

Hugo M a r t i n e z Cazon, BURLINGTON: T h a n k you so much for opening up a dialogue about this use of public space. I strongly agree with those that think this is a wonderful opportunity to rethink our c o m m o n space on Church Street. We do not need more pandering to the most shallow and cutesy parts of our collective tackiness. Church Street has gone from being the heart of a living town to a walking mall of indistinguishable stores, a place that does not ask for our individual participation in the building of a communal culture. A statue like "Leapfroggers" asks that we complacently turn off our critical

heart and blandly wander from store to store. Ultimately this can damage the identity of the town and diminishes the commitment people have to Church Street over, say, the Williston strip mall. "Leapfroggers" is not a piece of artwork I like. Hopefully enough of us can make a difference and clear the street of its presence. Notwithstanding my comments, the vandals that destroyed someone's work should be sought and tried. Destruction is not the way to resolve our differences.

M a e v e Kim, JERICHO CENTER: O f course the "Leapfroggers" should return! And of course it's not "great art." It's joyful and innocent and somewhat funny. It's been a treat to walk along Church Street, intent on too many errands and too little time, and suddenly see the mischievous and lively smiles on the leapfroggers' faces. T h e debate over their fate seems to pit innocent fun against overly self-conscious art snobbery. To those who feel that

public art always must stretch the understanding of the c o m m o n people, just think of this piece as folk art, sure to be affectionately revered a few decades from now.

Thea D i o n , BURLINGTON: Let us not fuss over the loss of the bronze leapfroggers. They are, at the very least, a bad example to restless youth who might decide it's simply fine to go leapfrogging about the Marketplace, creating havoc for cart merchants and posing a danger to unstable senior citizens. At most, [it's] a nice place to lean your bike while you stop walking it to pull up your sock. Let it be gone, along with that eyesore drainage ditch at the top of Church Street that some people call a fountain.

K o i Boynton, COLCHESTER: I've often wondered what is up with Burlington's bad public art. Many people view us as an art town and, yes, our cofjuly 2 4 , 2 0 0 2

feehouses and art galleries hold many wonderful pieces. Yet on the streets we find ridiculous, insulting sculptures, from whale tails to the air ducts of upper Church Street and whatever the hell that stuff is that dots the landscape of Battery Street. WTiere will it end? Well, I was hoping that the loss of the so-called "Leapfrog-gers" — although I've heard it called many more colorful things over the years — would be a nice start. Walking down Church Street that fine Saturday morning only to see nothing but rusted half-feet gave my heart a little thrill, and I must say my devious mind envisioned liberating many of the other horrible pieces of sculpture that we've all come to accept. Millennium sculpture? Give me a break — unrefined, misdirected h u n k of metal is more like it. We don't question, we don't even think about it... and then friends stop into town and we "stroll through our quaint downtown only to hear them exclaim, " W h a t the **#! is that?" continued on page 16a S E V E N DAYS

I would like to see a bronze statue of the vandals who destroyed "The Leapfroggers" erected in the spot where the statue used to be. Every year the residents of Burlington could have an annual citywide block party on the anniversary of the crime, during which the new statue could be ceremonially knocked over as a warning to all those who would dare deface our wonderful city.

Penny A . G i l l a n d e r Dame, COLCHESTER: I think it should be replaced along with other statues celebrating children. [The hospital] and the mayor's office celebrate children and support children's causes so often, why not make it a theme? .. .Also, we don't seem to have statues that celebrate our... history or even the present people in office, such as the mayor downtown, which is where you want people to come. Marketing of your colleges, sports, lakefront and children will bring shoppers downtown. There is so much artistic diversity here in Burlington, it shouldn't be hard to find artists willing to create. What about the Renaissance theme along with the hospital? The fountain the children play in is functional, but very ugly in my opinion, and I think to myself, with all the artists in Burlington, why isn't there more?

T h e "Leapfroggers" statue had a cuteness to it and served its purpose — whatever it was — but, my goodness, let's honor Richard H a u p t [the late "Clarinet Man"]. This seems like a no-brainer to me. His presence on Church Street was a part of its definition, and I can't think of any other person or persons,

"Leapfroggers" are from a different time, when things weren't analyzed or disseminated into issues of subversive sexual messages. Man, you got it all wrong. But I know there is no changing people's minds, especially in this state. Put the "Leapfroggers" in the Shelburne Museum. Place a plaque in front of it saying, "Mid-20th-century children at play, having unpretentious fun."

especially leapfroggers, who deserve this recognition.

Edwin G r a n a i , BURLINGTON: I vote to restore "Leapfroggers" to Church Street. It is a recognizable portrayal of childhood f u n and spontaneity too quickly lost in the conformity of youth and decorum of adulthood. Abstract and symbolic art has its place, but it should not preclude realism, especially a joyful piece like "Leapfroggers."

N o e CopleyWoods, M D , BURLINGTON: I've often had to avert my eyes from the bizarre sculpture of the two children in a most improbable position', and it's a pleasure to finally get to speak up! As a physician, it has long bothered me that the little girl's back is overextended at an angle incompatible with life. I'm sure this must bother other people, too. It's unsettling. Let's replace it with a sculpture that real kids can play on!

M i k e Dumas, ST. ALBANS: Whoever vandalized the "Leapfroggers" sculpture most likely did everyone a service by dislodging it from its base on Church St. Like Seven Days wrote in its article, sounds like many, including those at the paper, couldn't wait for that sucker to get up and git! ... OK, here comes the sarcasm. I couldn't put it off any longer. Let's put something up down there that fits in with the times. A sculpture of a kid, sitting in front of his/her computer, hacking into N O R A D . Yeah. H o w about a portrait, painted on a brick wall, depicting two freshfaced kids entering University Mall, all happy and smiling, VISA and Master Cards sticking out of their pockets? Listen, I know as well as anyone that today's youth have an edge up on kids in my day. They are much smarter and less naive. I know they will lead this country forward in the years to come. But give me a break, please! T h e

Roger Donegan, HINESBURG: Maybe the "Leapfroggers" just kept on going. Kids always lose things. What's a pair of shoes when it's serious play time? Maybe they needed a rest, but the interruption of their leapfrogging on Church Street after 16 years is reminiscent of the story of "The Little Mermaid." T h e life-size "Little Mermaid" is perched atop a boulder at the water's edge in Copenhagen, Denmark, and has been since 1913. O n at least two occasions in recent times someone took a hacksaw to the bronze statue. Delicate statuary inevitably gets treated like facts in the media — they get abused. Hans Christian Andersen wrote the fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" in 1834. But the statue was erected more in honor of a Royal Danish Ballet prima ballerina who had enchanted Carl Jacobsen, founder of the Carlsberg breweries and a patron of the arts. T h e statue has become more a symbol than a work of art. Far be it from me to say thumbs up or down in this instance. Equally, I don't have a problem with Norman Rockwell or Americana, especially when the original "Rosie the Riveter" goes for $4M. I didn't see the subversive message, "girls on top," in "Leapfroggers." After all, they weren't playing King of the Mountain. It only captured a fleeting m o m e n t and, besides, one could just as easily read the girl's glee and celebratiomof life as her being a right-to-life Republican. T h e "Leapfroggers" should be welcomed back. But if Seven Days is looking for ideas, how about casting a kid on a skateboard pointed downhill on Church Street. And then cast a policeman in hot pursuit about 10 yards behind the skateboarder? ®

In one scene, Georgy impersonates his own penis, a Spanish hombre named Jose, who allegedly "has a mind of his own." Later, Georgy dances to a love song with his beloved briefcase, sashaying across the stage beneath a drapery of disco lights. These seeming non sequiturs are f u n n y and biographically informative, but they often last too long. We figure out early on that Georgy is a champion loser, so it feels overdone when, for example, his former boss at the bookstore

deeper by going over the top. However, the themes of the play will touch anyone who has ever sweated out a job interview. Georgy excessively ponders every question and eventually gives voice to the application — it begins to "talk back" like an interactive database, c o m m a n d i n g him to rewrite answers. Georgy has nothing to fall back on — just a moped, a plain tie and a small apartment, trademarks of a lonely bachelor. We can assume that rejection is just a few checkmarks away. J o h n Paul Devlin's bare set

smacks of hospital wards and office-building corridors, d u t i f u l l y m i r r o r i n g the cold, corporate wasteland that Georgy thinks he desperately wants to join. Even the props are suspended f r o m the ceiling in a safety-deposit box, eliminating all interaction between Georgy and other humans. Ultimately, though, the play comes to life-affirming conclusion. W h e n Georgy reads the question, "Is there a God?" he refuses to answer it. First he cops out, claiming that no God would allow Gandhi to die or mass hunger to occur, etc. But later he admits that a higher power would be a nice touch to the universe. As he finally splatters paint around and tears apart the set — a repressed dweeb facing himself and rejoicing in his new resolve — we watch a lovable ubermensch transcending his limitations and rejecting a stultifying mainstream lifestyle. Despite his flaws, we're rooting for Georgy, hoping he'll become a comic-book writer like he'd always dreamed. It's a timely story for Sampieri himself, a newly minted grad, and it's easy to give him the same vote of confidence. (7)

Will-a strobe show at the Burlington Bbathou$e< prewarit zebra mussels from stayin' alive?

large settlement of juvenile zebra mussels — in early June. Three eight-inch, 4 0 0 watt strobes are attached to wooden pilings and flash four times a second 24 hours a day. O n c e a week, Marsden goes diving with an underwater video camera to monitor the density and movement of the adult mussels. T h e project isn't an attempt to control zebra mussels in the wild. You can't put strobe lights all over Lake Champlain, Marsden points out. But you can try to control them in particularly worrisome areas such as water intake pipes and boat hulls. "Every situation is going to be different," the U V M professor says. If zebra mussels gather in a power plant intake pipe, recirculated heat can kill off the clingy little buggers. At a water treatment plant, they might be eradicated with chlorine injections. Strobes are "just another tool," Marsden says, "and it would be nice to know 'is this a useful tool in the toolbox, or not?' That's essentially where we'll end up at the end of this." Exactly how m u c h havoc can zebra mussels wreak? Consider the case of Monroe, Michigan, where an intake pipe became so congested that only one-third of its original diameter was clear. " T h e city shut down because the water plant basically called them and said, 'Sorry, guys, we don't have any water,'" Marsden recounts. McCabe likens the inside of that

pipe to a hardening of h u m a n arteries. Zebra mussels tend to avoid light, but the pending question is whether light will have an effect on adult colonies that are already established. "Will a strobe be so unpleasant to them that they will rip up their byssus threads and go wandering off to get into the shade again?" asks Marsden, referring to the fibers by which mollusks cling to a surface. To help answer this question, the investigators have also installed control plates in the field, some in direct view of the strobes and others in dark areas. T h e a m o u n t of larvae detected on the control plates will be a good indicator of whether strobe lights deter young zebra mussels from settling. T h e plates will also gauge the density and movement of the adult population. Because dim light and murky water under the boathouse have made it difficult to get good images, the researchers subsequently installed more strobes at Chipman's Point Marina, near Orwell, where the water is clearer. T h e marina strobes will only flash 12 hours a day, however, because boaters have found them disorienting at night. In addition, Coons has set up six indoor aquariums filled at the bottom with sand and covered on top with aluminum foil. In some of the tanks she installed a strobe light. She placed young zebra mussels inside all the tanks. After an hour's

To make matters worse, zebra mussels reproduce at a ferocious rate: A single female can lay up to a million eggs per year. Since they moved into the neighborhood, zebra mussels' wanton activities have caused seven native organisms to be put onto the threatened and endangered species list. There is a light at the end of the (clogged) tunnel, though. After increasing

exponentially for five to 10 years, a zebra mussel population tends to plateau for about as long. W h e n carrying capacity in the lake has been reached a n d there are no more resources to sustain their overwhelming numbers, predators — yellow perch, crayfish, carp, etc. — will begin to take a noticeable bite o u t of the overall zebra mussel community. At that point, the population will crash to about a third of its peak level. At the end of their experiment, M c C a b e and C o o n s will return to St. Michael's for the fall semester. McCabe will teach aquatic and invertebrate ecology in labs that will probably contain some strobe lights. C o o n s will complete the last year of her studies as a biology major. Marsden, meanwhile, is looking forward to continuing her sabbatical, which she's devoting to a major lake-trout-population restoration project. "I'm technically a fisheries biologist," she says, laughing. "Zebra mussels just keep getting in the way. It's one of those things: T h e y foul everything, including the careers of fisheries biologists." (Z)

"So far, in the six trials that I've done, they've all moved away from the light," she reports.

FAITH IN GODDARD? collective memorial , or "Little Moscow on the Hill

BY SUSAN GREEN

n the first week of m y first semester at G o d d a r d College during the early 1960s, northern lights danced wildly above the Plainfield campus. Everyone ran outside to watch a spectacle of the cosmos I had never even imagined as a 17-year-old girl f r o m N e w York. In a flash, the school and the rural state that I would come to love became forever bathed in the mystique of the aurora borealis.

"WE WERE THE QUIET GENERATION," suggests Chloe Pitkin, w h o came to G o d d a r d in 1949 and married one of T i m Pitkin's sons two years later. "World War II had ended and m a n y students were soldiers going back to school on the G I Bill. T h e y had integrity and a quest for knowledge." T h e country was just succumbing to the M c C a r t h y era. "I flew in f r o m Boston and took a cab to Plainfield," remembers Pitkin, w h o had attended a conventional Massachusetts high school. " W h e n we approached Goddard, the cab driver pointed and told me: 'There it is — Little Moscow on the Hill.' Local people t h o u g h t we were all card-carrying C o m m u n i s t s . I didn't even k n o w what that meant."

Saddened by the recent news that financial woes have p r o m p t e d G o d d a r d to shut down its residential undergraduate program after a whirlwind 64 years, I began to anticipate a gaping hole in Vermont's political, cultural and emotional fabric. W i t h infrequent use by adult degree candidates, the campus is in danger of becoming a ghost town. M y assessment is only one viewpoint a m o n g the following recollections f r o m former students and employees of the college. These reminiscences, presented chronologically, add up to more than the misty nostalgia of a typical school reunion. T h e y tell the story of a small liberal arts college that was often plagued by internal conflicts and the suspicion of its neighbors, even while it remained in the educational avant-garde.

WHEN ROBERT FROST VISITED THE campus in 1939, he recited his p o e m a b o u t ' a road less traveled." T h e phrase sums up G o d d a r d in a nutshell. "I can still see h i m sitting at a table, swinging his legs, on the lawn of Greatwood Manor," says Robert Mattuck, w h o retired in 1989 after teaching English literature at the college for 50 years. M a t t u c k speaks with a British accent, smokes a pipe and exudes a tweedy professorial air. D u r i n g the Vietnam War he also had the savvy to advise a young m a n expelled f r o m a Southern university for political activism: "Well, that would be a plus at Goddard." N o w 91, Mattuck's life spans m u c h of the history there. W h e n he arrived in early 1939, the school was brand new: a former seminary and women's junior college in Barre recast as a four-year institution on a 250-acre Plainfield agricultural estate. Marshfield native Royce "Tim" Pitkin, Goddard's first president, adopted the pragmatic democracy-in-education ideas of J o h n Dewey, a forward-thinking philosopher f r o m Burlington. T h e college established a revolutionary new scheme: only three courses per semester, n o n e of t h e m required courses;

Unaccredited until 1957, the school might have been under the Red Scare radar, but it was not w i t h o u t fashion critics. " O u r girls wore jeans, which m a n y townspeople thought was disgusting,"

W h e d o n notes that the school's essence has remained with him. "I always liked the small classes and individual initiative," he says. "That's the way I teach: as if I'm at Goddard."

IN THE EARLY 1960S, ALTHOUGH G o d d a r d students weren't always known for being serious or trustworthy, those who did exemplify such qualities often signed on with the school fire department. Andy Jackson, now director of operations for Vermont Life, was one of them. "It was very rigorous," says the Montpelier resident, who matriculated in 1961. "We were the only people at the college w h o had to take exams. W e had t pass written and practical tests that included carrying a colleague down a lad der from a rooftop. We could not be a bunch of goof-offs." An admittedly "indifferent scholar," Jackson would never have gotten into pres

government had been such a p r o f o u n d influence because we made real decisions. O f course, I can't remember now what they were." Tarule's sister and fellow alumna, Susan Meacham, was one of the founders of the O n i o n River C o - o p — now Burlington's City Market — in the 1960s. Before her death f r o m cancer in 1980, Meacham organized other co-ops in central Vermont. H e r legacy is just one quiet example of how G o d d a r d helped a poor rural state move into the second half of the 2 0 t h century.

designed an approach to education based on self-discovery and democratic ideals. O n c e her father-in-law retired f r o m the presidency at the end of the 1960s, " G o d d a r d did spin out of control," she acknowledges.

THE LATE 1960S ROCKED. "THOSE were the golden years," contends Jane Shore, an East Calais poet whose enrollm e n t was presaged at age 16. "A mean girl at s u m m e r camp told me, 'You should go to G o d d a r d College — that's the place for someone like you!'" T h e c o m m e n t was meant to be an

"It's remarkable that I graduated at all," notes Shelburne M u s e u m President Hope Alswang, w h o attended G o d d a r d between 1967 and '71. "I came f r o m a progressive N e w York City family and was expecting a school where people just sang lefty Pete Seeger songs. I was taken aback by the marvelous self-indulgence and decadence. People were smoking dope, naked and crazy."

and Freeloaders" for the school newspaper. "It was far f r o m a peaceful love fest." T h e once cohesive c o m m u n i t y was fracturing at a time of peak enrollment — 600 residential undergraduates, by Kaza's estimate — with various special interests claiming their own turf. "There was an all-black d o r m that didn't allow white people in," he says, "yet I played basketball with some of those guys." H e dealt with the situation by living off campus and student-teaching at the Berlin Elementary School. " G o d d a r d is a place of tremendous missed potential," says Kaza, w h o now lives in Shelburne. "I've never set foot on the campus since graduation in 1973, or given t h e m a nickel, either." Kaza's aversion to his struggling alma mater is a real loss for a college that turns out graduates more inclined to make a difference than earn a fortune. G o d d a r d has rarely received major endowments. As A n d y Jackson — class of '66 —

Tony Whedon discussions as opposed to lectures; written self-evaluations rather than tests or grades; students washing dishes or helping out in the library; non-residential work terms in January and February to provide a taste of the real world; and a strong emphasis on the arts, which were merely extracurricular at most schools back then. G o d d a r d was also a unique experim e n t in h u m a n development. W i t h only 40 students, Pitkin held regular "community meetings" to foster participation in campus life. "Two big topics in the early years were where you could smoke [tobacco] and if dorms would be open to both sexes," M a t t u c k recalls. "For a while, m e n were allowed to visit the lounges at women's dorms on Thursdays and Saturdays. Kids were still kids in those days; teens hadn't yet learned to flex their muscles."

M a t t u c k says. "But, within a year or two, local girls were wearing jeans as well." T h e late 1950s signaled Goddard's atmospheric Jazz Age with a hip bohemian aesthetic. Tony Whedon, f r o m Long Island, played trombone, wrote poetry and felt an existential tug. "Until about eight years ago, I used to dream about Goddard," he says. "It remains an unfinished part of m y life." That's largely because he accomplished an almost impossible feat: W h e d o n was kicked out of a college with no grades. "In m y second year, I stopped going to classes and was drinking too m u c h , " he confesses. " T h e y t h o u g h t I was a bad influence. I got a letter that said, 'We think your creative endeavors would be better suited to a place like Greenwich Village.'" Instead, W h e d o n headed for the University of Iowa, more traditional than G o d d a r d b u t well-respected. H e returned to Vermont in 1974. N o w 61, he lives in Montgomery, teaches creative writing at Johnson State College and edits The Green Mountain Review. W h e t h e r success came because of, or in spite of, his time in Plainfield,

tigious Dartmouth College, where his father was an admissions official. "Goddard was a place I could pursue whatever I wanted, even though I wasn't yet sure what that was. Somewhere along the line, I realized you have to do it yourself." His self-motivation eventually led him to a top job at the state's official quarterly magazine. "I'm responsible for $2.5 million business," says Jackson, 59, "even though one of the main reasons I chose G o d d a r d was because it didn't have a m a t h requirement." Jill Tarule, dean of the School of Education and Social Services at the University of Vermont for the last decade, chose the women-only Bennington College in I 9 6 0 . After two years she transferred to coed Goddard, where her parents — Robert Mattuck and his late wife C o r i n n e — were faculty members. At a 1990s gathering for students w h o graduated between 1962 and 1970, a group f r o m Tarule's era talked for two days. "We'd each left G o d d a r d with a really strong c o m m i t m e n t to social change," she observes. " T h e community

insult. Shore had grown up in suburban N e w Jersey as "the artsy type," she explains. "I was interested in music, poetry, painting and dance. I sang and played folk guitar." At G o d d a r d from 1967 to 1969, Shore met the children, nieces and nephews of her heroes — kids with names like Seeger and Guthrie. O n e of her classmates was David Mamet, now a renowned playwright and filmmaker. As a budding wordsmith herself, Shore witnessed Allen Ginsberg, on campus for a reading, proclaim Plainfield "the spiritual center of the universe." N o w a 55-year-old professor at D.C.'s George Washington University, Shore says G o d d a r d "gave m e a kind of courage. T h e r e were enough people there like m e that I didn't have to explain myself. I was part of something new and interesting." Conversely, the school also attracted m a n y people w h o "were totally stoned all the time," Shore says. "Everybody was doing their thing." To Chloe Pitkin, that counterculture m a n t r a — " D o your own thing" — was not what J o h n Dewey intended when he

very seriously." Alswang concentrated on independent studies "that taught m e you could make anything happen, that you're only limited by your own energy and imagination." Those qualities have taken her a long way in life. "In no small measure, I owe m y career to Goddard," says the 55-yearold Charlotte resident, w h o has headed the Shelburne M u s e u m for 10 years. "It did give m e a belief in myself."

IN 1969, PAUL KAZA CAME EAST f r o m O r e g o n to attend G o d d a r d sightunseen. "It seemed like an innovative place," says the 50-year-old president of Paul Kaza Associates, a communications firm in South Burlington. Although an anti-establishment hippie himself back then, he felt a growing alarm about the school: "It was infested with drugs." H e recalls that 20 percent of the kids weren't even students b u t lived and ate at G o d d a r d w i t h o u t paying tuition. At c o m m u n i t y meetings held to discuss the problem, "I remember people throwing things at each other," says Kaza, w h o wrote a critique headlined " O f Freedom

points out, "most graduates did not become captains of industry. We're quietly in the woodwork, doing interesting and creative things." M o n e y was a perennial problem. Desperate to beef up enrollment in the mid-1980s, G o d d a r d promised existing students $50 for every new w a r m body they recruited. Young Page McConnell became a sort of b o u n t y hunter, luring Trey Anastasio and Jon Fishman away f r o m U V M . T h e threesome would soon join forces with Mike G o r d o n to f o r m Phish, one of the world's most beloved jam bands. "Goddard's been on the verge of folding as long as I can remember," says Peter Schumann, founder of the Gloverbased Bread and Puppet Theater. T h e internationally acclaimed troupe was in Plainfield f r o m 1970 to '74 as artists-inresidence, living and performing at the school's nearby Cate Farm. S c h u m a n n t h o u g h t G o d d a r d strange. "There might be a master class in knitting socks or gazing at Chinese skies," he quips, adding that students also were able to receive credit for working with Bread and Puppet.

with a downside only in terms of academic discipline. But we badly need free educational institutions like that in this world of stupefying factories for people w h o are like sheep." A n o t h e r group of players used G o d d a r d as its springboard. T h e Two Penny Circus was the brainchild of Donny Osman, n o w Plainfield's State Representative and head of the Governor's Institute on the Arts. Born in Brooklyn, he spent a year with VISTA before coming to the college in 1968. "I couldn't have gone anywhere else," he claims. "Goddard's a place where you learn h o w to learn."

THE LATE '60S WERE A TURNing point for Fred Wilbur. "I came from a Republican family," says the 51-year-old owner of the Montpelier music store Buch Spieler.

In 1980 Voigt co-founded the N e w England Culinary Institute, which operates restaurants in Burlington, Montpelier and Essex as vocational "laboratories" for 650 to 700 students each year. Like Goddard, he says. "We have small classes and learn by doing." Voigt, 62 and living in Cabot, waxes philosophical about his

So Orleans and three others joined the vegetarians. " W h e n anyone asks m e w h y I w e n t to such a small college, I always joke that they were all the kind of students I'd w a n t to hang out with," he says. " G o d d a r d taught m e to get along with people. That's been i m p o r t a n t in m y work." At 43, Orleans appreciates how the school transformed Vermont. " W i t h o u t G o d d a r d , we might as well call it N e w Hampshire," he suggests.

Bob Johnson facilitated the D o r m for Spontaneous Living." Some things never change at Goddard. But something might soon. Chloe Pitkin, that 1952 graduate who was warned about "Little Moscow on the Hill," is leading the Renaissance Committee. T h e group has already raised $200,000 but needs a total of $5 million to stabilize the college for accreditation purposes. W i t h its link to the first president, the Pitkin name seems to instill confidence in building a new paradigm on a familiar foundation. T h e Renaissance volunteers are trying to stage a residential-based revival with a somewhat different imperative: teaching peace. "We're exploring several ideas, but the template is a coalition of peace and environmental organizations that could send us folks," Pitkin says. "In classes, they would look through the lens of global responsibility and peaceful solutions. T h e campus could become a beehive for undergraduates. Using John Dewey's pragmatic approach, we could be on the cutting edge again." ®

orporate executives are feeling the heat this summer as a result of a string of highly publicized financial scandals. But in Lake Placid, 19 head honchos are sweating for all the right reasons. Next weekend, a select group of business owners will swim, run and bike in an Ironman triathalon that gives new meaning to the term "multitasking." For the second year in a row, organizers of the 12-hour race have separated C E O s out from the rest of the contestants — in all, 1800 athletes from 29 countries are expected to complete a 2.4-mile swim, 12-mile bike ride and marathon run in record time. The^separate division was inspired by the fact that an inordinate number of Ironman contenders own or run companies. They pay 12 times as much as an ordinary Iron Joe — $4500 — for special handling that includes five nights at the Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa.

CAST IRONWOMAN Smokejacks owner and athlete Leslie Myers

A m o n g the elite group of entrepreneurs is the running restaurateur w h o owns Smokejacks in Burlington. Thirty-fouryear-old Leslie Myers has been training for more than a year — quite literally between meals — to realize her goal. "I want to be competitive in my age group," she says, sounding like a "Survivor" contestant. "That means I'd like to finish in the top five in a field of maybe 70 or 80 w o m e n . T h a t would prob-

training for the Ironman ends up consuming a large portion of the day. "She shows up at 7 a.m. with goggle marks. An hour later, she's off to Bikram yoga, and then it's time for her afternoon run," Gurley says. "As hard as she's worked on her business, now she's working on being a triathlete." T h e marathon mentality has also trickled down to Myers' staff. About half of them — 15 — participated in the Vermont City Marathon last May, including Chef Maura O'Sullivan. After running casually for years, Gurley is training for a 26-mile run in October — a fitness goal she attributes to Myers' influence. "In other places I've worked, the staff can be pretty unhealthy. We're kind of an exception," she says, noting that the stairs to the basement kitchen offer wait staff"an ongoing aerobic challenge.

ably make me eligible for Hawaii." T h a t original Ironman race, initiated by Pacific-stationed Navy SEALS, remains the most exclusive. Although she doesn't exactly fit the typical Ironman profile — male, mid-to-late thirties, with an average annual household income of more than $100,000 — 115-pound Myers certainly demonstrates that drive has multiple applications. She is the fire behind 5-year-old Smokejacks, a high-end restaurant that's got the recipe just right in downtown Burlington. After the first two years, she had bought out her partner and paid off all the loans associated with the start-up. She didn't have time to exercise during the first year in business. "I smoked cigarettes in the alley," she confesses. "I was stressed." But as she found time for workouts, Myers discovered they made her more effective. "The running started with needing some time to myself," she explains. " W h e n you're answering to customers, and you're answering to vendors, and just dealing with the day-to-day business... I'd go out and run. I'd come back with a really fresh head. A lot of people have Palm Pilots and things like that. I organize my thoughts when I am exercising."

Myers encourages athletic endeavors by offering her staff discounted health-club memberships at the YMCA. She also pays for entrance fees whenever an employee feels inclined to enter any sort of race. T h e restaurant is designing and sponsoring & 10kilometer run on the Church Street Marketplace in early August to benefit the Chittenden C o u n t y H u m a n e Society.

" O n any given day you can always tell if Leslie has had her workout," confirms manager Allison Gurley, noting her boss is "not so up" if she can't get out to the pool or on the road. But

"I just think people who are training are more self-disciplined, happier people in general," Myers says. " W h e n they accomplish a goal, they feel really good about themselves."

That's how it was for her, anyway, growing up in a conservative Navy family that moved to a different seaport every two years. Myers spent her formative years in California and started swimming competitively at a young age. "The story in my family — and I'm sure it's been greatly exaggerated — is that I almost drowned when I was 3.

the easiest way out — unlike swimming or biking, there's not a lot of gear involved. Although it was a relatively new sport for Myers, she excelled at it quickly, going from recreational to longdistance running in just a couple of years. Her brother-in-law first suggested she run a marathon in Montgomery County, Maryland, and she did, in 2000. She ran the

A lot of oeoDle have Palm Pilots and things like that. a organize mv thoughts when Leslie Mvers So mother put us right in swim classes." She attended twice-daily practices all through middle school, specializing in butterfly and "individual medley." Four hours a day in the pool also allowed "for a lot of eating. Although there are no other restaurateurs in the family, Myers notes, "I was always cooking things, growing up. My mother would come home from work and the kitchen would be trashed. I was known for that — even in high school." Otherwise, she says, "we ate a lot of things that people on a budget ate in the 60s and '70s. We had creamed tuna fish-, chipped beef on toast." Not exactly the "bold American food" Smokejacks serves. Ten months after graduating from James Madison University in Virginia, Myers enrolled at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. It prepared her for a pastry chef position at a restaurant in Napa Valley, where she ran a wedding cake business on the side. Later she worked in a "place like the Cheese Outlet" that sold deli and prepared foods. Myers was teaching at the New England Culinary Institute when she met fellow instructor Don Kolp, with whom she partnered to start Smokejacks in .1997. Their work relationship lasted a year. The biggest conflict was over work style. "I never thought I was a workaholic, but he definitely was. It's all that he did," she says. "If I had to take a day and do something personal — like a wedding or something — that didn't sit well with him." After she bought out Kolp, Myers started delegating — and exercising. Running proved to be

same race last year and qualified for Boston. Myers didn't sweat the big one. She went out to dinner the night before and even had a glass of wine. Her philosophy is, "Don't change what you do on pre-race right. D o what you've done in training." Myers does put a tremendous amount of faith in nutrition, though. She contends that an athlete who is properly fed and hydrated can beat one in superior physical condition. Knowing a lot about food goes a long way. "I can eat a 70-20-10 ratio of carbs, protein and fat without even thinking, without having to get out a little book and count calories." She has to down 2500 of them — and lots of water — during the course of the Ironman race, which falls on her birthday. But none of the nourishment is likely to come from the Smokejacks kitchen. Myers is partial to "Combos," a high-calorie, cheese-filled pretzel that did the trick in a training triathalon a few weeks ago in Tupper Lake. "She's been eating a lot of cottage cheese with cold spaghetti sauce over it," O'Sullivan reports. "It looks disgusting." It's a small price to pay for the glory of going the distance. Myers is motivated by a combination of personal drive and perfect profit-and-loss statements. For observers, though, it might be more satisfying to watch a few less-than-savory types take on the C E O challenge. In the threestrikes spirit, we'd like to propose the tragic triumverate of Adelphia's John Rigas, John Sidgmore of WorldCom and Enron's Ken Lay. (Z)

BUTLER'S AT

and a chunk of Ward'2. "It's the heart of Progressive territory," noted Professor Blue Jeans. He predicted, "It'll l^e a hell of a battle." With Progressive State Rep. Carina Driscoll losing her seat to reapportionment, the Burlap Proggies are down to just three office-holders under the golden dome: the two Gierzynski and Kirby are challenging — State Reps. David Zuckerman and Bob Kiss — and Rep. Steve Hingtgen from the adjoining district. Led by freshman City Councilor Ian Carleton, Burlington Democrats are serious about taking back the turf that once was theirs. That was back in the olden days before a certain politician by the name of Bernie Sanders turned the Queen City upside down and the Old North End became Sanderista Country. Tony the Prof grew up in a Chicago suburb. He got his Ph.D. at the University of Kentucky and has been on the UVM faculty for 10 years. Tony the Prof — not to be confused with Tony the Prog — teaches courses on American Politics, and Politics and the Media. He's also the author of Money Rules — Financing Elections in America and is a recognized expert in the field of campaign finance reform. As for making the move from talking about politics in the classroom to actually doing it as a candidate, Tony the Prof told Seven Days, "In terms of what I teach, it fits in really well." He said he expects to spend $l500-$2000 on the race — for brochures, lawn signs and a couple mailings. In Kiss and Zuckerman, Tony the Prof has formidable opposition. Finding clear differences on issues may not be easy. For example, Gierzynski said he fully supports Zuckerman's medical marijuana initiative that passed the House but dissolved in the Senate. The Professor said he sees the race as "an inter-family conflict." "It's not liberals vs. conservatives," explained Gierzynski, "but rather liberals vs. liberals." The difference, he said, "is in how we propose to go about getting things done." Asked if he thinks the fledgling Vermont Progressive Party has a future, Tony the, Prof answered "no." "The best they can do is be a spoiler, and that's a problem. I want them back in the Democratic Party," he said. One avenue of attack we expect the Proggies to use is the Professor's opposition to the UVM faculty's successful urjion organizing drive. % "I'm not against unions in general," said candidate Gierzynski. "But in the case of UVM, the costs outweighed the benefits." *

Ignoring Hogan? — In the last few days we've heard from a few distinguished Burlington business types who've politely suggested yours truly give a little more ink to Independent gubernatorial candidate Cornelius tfogan of Plainfield.

/ They noted the mainstream press always acknowledges King Con's existence in stories about the two main contenders, Democrat Doug Racine and Republican Jim Douglas. And they boldly suggested that yours truly is in the tank for Doug the Liberal and that explains the Hogan blackout. Nothing could be further from the truth. We pointed out recent columns highlighting Racine's flip-flopper tendencies on issues like the Circumferential Highway. And we suggested Racine and Douglas offer Vermonters a choice between two seasoned political veterans. What's King Con got to offer? "He's a good manager," they replied in unison. Great! Maybe the likable retired gentleman should just buy a motel? They noted Hogan's resume includes impressive stints as Commissioner of Corrections and Secretary of the Agency of Human Services. But when pressed to come up with one issue that King Con champions, one issue that separates him from the competition, Hogan's Heroes were speechless. In fact, yours truly did contact Mr. Hogan last week in hopes of getting a column item out of him. But all he could come up with was the news that he's campaigning in a 27-foot RV with a big "Hogan for Governor" sign. And he has a couple T V commercials in the can for the fall. One's a 60-second biography, the other a short, humorous, 15second spot featuring King Con in a horse stall highlighting his ability to cut through the manure. If Mr. Hogan can somehow manage to turn horse manure into a hot-button issue, his campaign just might get legs. P.S. As for Mr. Racine's management skills, one thing's for sure — Duggy's a skinflint. At Racine's recent environmental press event at Burlington's Oaldedge Park, we half-expected the Quiet Man to arrive by bicycle. Great photo op. But then we noticed the candidate and a campaign aide approaching on foot down Flynn Avenue. Pretty impressive, we thought on first blush. Racine hoofed it all the way from downtown! Our bubble was quickly burst when we realized Mr. Racine had parked his wheels up the road and around the corner to avoid paying the $4 Oakledge parking fee. Fiscal conservative if ever we saw one. More Wedding Bells! — Love is definitely in the air. The latest to catch the bug is Gov. Howard Dean's press secretary, Sue Allen. Sweet Sue told Seven Days she's become engaged to Jim Picone of Calais. He's a physician's assistant at Central Vermont Hospital, a mandolin player, a watercolor artist and one of the luckiest guys in Vermont. A small wedding is planned for early fall, said Ms. Allen, followed by "a big party" later in the fall. Mazel tov! ® E-mail Peter at Inside Track VT@aol. com

ETHAN COVEY & PAMELA POLSTON

TRADING PLACES The ongoing "re-vitalization" of Nectar's has taken yet another turn. Pipedream Records has been ousted three months after the Burlington promotion agency/label was hired to do booking for the club. Owner Nectar Rorris says that a more direct approach was needed and has transferred booking duties to bar manager Eric Anderson.

While both parties claim there were no problems with the way Pipedream handled things, Rorris was concerned about the lack of control he and his staff had over acts at the venue. "Club and bar owners have rights and responsibilities when it comes to controlling bands," Rorris explains. "When a band shows up late and I have to reprimand them, I can't have them saying, 'Who are you?'" Anderson notes that "It became very difficult to talk to bands who had signed contracts with Pipedream. [Booking] really needs to be handled 'in house.'" Pipedream's Nick Rigopulos agrees, but notes there are difficulties in booking a club that features live music seven nights a week. "A large part of booking a venue is in managing the bands," he says. "Unfortunately, Nectar's couldn't afford to pay [Pipedream] enough to be there all the time. I wish Nectar the best of luck." Anderson says Nectar's will adhere to the same stylistic changes begun by Pipedream, noting future appearances by Vorcza,

Concentric and Raq. Rigopulos, however, is worried that the club may "revert back to the cover bands that they used to book, just because it's easier." Stop by Nectar's any night of the week and find out.

P0P-A-JAY Times are a-changin' down at Pure Pop, too. First there was that flashy new sign outside Burlington's oldest independent record seller. Now one of the original owners, Jay Strausser, is moving on. He and John Crandall opened the store in 1980. Pure Pop has been the literally underground alternative for local music junkies ever since. Recently Strausser decided to sell his portion of the store in order to concentrate on other business ventures, such as All Points Booking. He will be missed at the store he helped build. "I've been there for half my life," Strausser says with a laugh. "The store is literally an extension of me. Pure Pop is such an institution in this town, and I hope the best for it." First on Strausser's slightly less-full plate: a well-deserved monthlong vacation. Meanwhile, Crandall's son Michael will take over as general manager at Pure Pop. Amy Carretto and Casey Rea will do more of the buying and streamline the process of stocking the store. Other changes include the formation of an "Indie/Alternative" section. "I'm really excited to improve

the store's indie character and make it be a cool place to go hang out that doesn't serve coffee," says Rea. Pure Pop is soliciting comments from customers on how to better serve the music-buying community. Drop in at 115 S. Winooski Ave. and give 'em a piece of your mind. GIANT JR.? Local singer-songwriter Gregory Douglass has been invited to join They Might Be Giants for one week of their current tour. Introduced to the band through a friend — T M B G road manager and Burlington resident Chris Bailey — Douglass was offered the opening slot for the Midwestern leg of the New York popsters' tour. Douglass and guitarist Jeremy Mendicino will join TMBG August 1 and play shows in St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh. "It's a new area for us," says Douglass, "so we are very excited for the opportunity and experience." Tickets, dates and other info can be found at www.theymightbegiants.com. SINGLE TRACKS Seventeen years of shooting and he's got his first cover! Look for the latest issue of Guitar World Acoustic for Mark Harlan's lively shot of the toothy Ms. Sheryl Crow. The Burlington music photographer has been contributing since 1986 to New York stock agency Star File, which arranged the magazine gig. Congrats! . . . The two former frontmen of art-punks The Dakota are each working on debut solo records. Guitarist/vocalists Casey Rea and Dan Schwartz are putting the final touches on discs that should be released early this fall . . . In other Dakota news, Rea and Schwartz have worked out a deal with engineer Matt Squire to recover the tapes containing the band's scrapped debut album. Recorded at New Alliance studio

in Boston last winter, the disc was nearly finished when the band broke up. Now Rea and Schwartz have decided to finish the record anyway . . . Burlington/Brooklyn singer-songwriter Neil Cleary has lined up a string of tour dates in support of his recent solo release, Numbers Add Up. A dozen gigs in August will take him from Boston to Kentucky, with stops at legendary country joint Exit/In in Nashville and Burlington's Club Metronome . . . Burlington's Red Headed Strangers could offer Cleary a classic cautionary tale about road trips, having barely made it back from last week's jaunt to a headlining show in Philly. Their truck broke down, they crashed a rental car and one member's dog ran away at a rest stop. The show itself was reportedly the only thing that went well. All members finally got back to town Tuesday, only one day late for the day jobs . . . Exclamate! are playing their final show this Friday at Higher Ground. Having kicked around the scene for three years, the Burlington rockers have decided to explore other opportunities . . . Taking a break from his persona as "The Logger," Rusty DeWees and his band The Fellers are laying down tracks at Egan Media Productions in Colchester. Offering up bluegrass; gospel, country and blues, the 10-track record will be ready by fall . . . Jazz Mandolin Project plan to beat summer heat with an August tour in Alaska and Japan. Then the jazzgrassers will return for a fall tour with The Sam Bush Band, who headlined at last weekend's Jamgrass Festival in Shelburne. . . Bookshop by day, musical venue by night, The Kept Writer in St. Albans celebrates its second anniversary this Saturday with performances by Josh Magis, John Nicholls, Joshua Given and other guests.

is PH BALANCE, FLUENT (selfreleased, C D ) — In the mid-'90s, trip-hop seemed poised to become the great link between underground dance culture and modern pop. A groove-laden blend of acidjazz, hip-hop and downtempo "chill-out" music, trip-hop introduced these elements to traditional, verse-chorus-verse songwriting. At its best — think the UK's Massive Attack and Portishead — the formula created challenging and often dark explorations of emotion for the 3 a.m. set. At its worst, the music became faceless, dull pop backed by the dry click of a drum machine.

rhymes transform the opener, "Panorama," into an enchanting four minutes of head-nodding urban funk. Throughout Fluent's 10 tracks, Ph Balance sound mostly like Faithless — another Brit group that has produced good records for years without ever reaching the next level. As an iiber-chill record guaranteed to induce sweet dreams after a night on the town, Fluent succeeds gracefully. But ultimately the disc is little more than a nice alternative to Tylenol P M . T h e group chills the crowd this Thursday at Nectar's.

What they auv'tsee,,

steal!

An excitable British journalist once boasted that the femalefronted Portishead were creating the first true soul music in Britain in 30 years. A bold claim, but its true that in the groups rough vocals and thick beats one could sense the development of a new music devoted to the depressions and passions of life. But trip-hop soon became trip-pop, and the soul so elemental to those early recordings was replaced by a massproduced groove sound, where the only emotional requirement was to lull listeners into mass-marketed bliss. Enter Ph Balance. T h e 5-yearold Atlanta-based sextet has developed a rep as tireless workers, logging countless hours of studio and live performances. Composed of vocalist/guitarist Pam Howe, drummer Chris Burt, M C Mudfish, percussionist Tony James and bassists Kevin Vines and Aaron Piatt, the group strays from the computer-generated blips of most electronica, focusing instead on a live, organic mosaic.

"Space Shot," about a crazy bass player, is my favorite. "Snowfall," incidentally the band's first recorded song and the lead track here, is also a delight. It's followed by "Willy's Lament," which has one of the best lines: "What am I doing with my life?" Isn't that such an appropriate sentiment, especially for a Vermont musician? T h e answer, of course, is crystal clear: living and making music.

Ph Balance's latest recording, Fluent, is a limited-edition, gorgeously packaged disc of downtempo pop stylings. O n the soul scale, it falls somewhere between the heights achieved by the genre's greats and the meaningless pop currently filling airwaves. Howe has a beautiful, fragile voice that immediately catches the listener's ear. T h e band is tight and excels at producing subtle grooves upon which Howe and M C Mudfish rhyme and croon.

Another appealing feature of the album is the liner notes, which

— Ethan Covey BANJO DAN AND THE MID-NITE PLOWBOYS, LIKE A RIVER (Vermont Song Bag, C D ) — Vermonters Banjo D a n and the Mid-nite Plowboys have been charming audiences with homegrown original bluegrass music since the early '70s. and they're still going strong. Their new C D , Like a River (A bluegrass journey), is a retrospective of favorites from the band's first eight recordings along with some unearthed tracks dating from 1974-94. It's an absolutely pleasurable C D ; I love good songs and this disc is packed with 'em. Most of these songs were originally released on vinyl, so part of the project was picking greatest hits/band favorites for C D format. For longtime fans, Like a River is a great new package. As an introduction to the band the collection is compelling; the players are spoton and play a mellow, goodnatured and occasionally h u m o r ous brand of bluegrass. Like a River includes stories, spirituals, thoughtful recollections, laments and f u n n y hoe-down/rave-ups.

However, little on Fluent is particularly powerful or memorable; all the songs float by in a blur of pretty, semi-artsy grooves and forgettable lyrics. O n l y on a few tracks do elements sneak out of the mix and demand attention. "Flyin' So Free" employs a trumpet that breaks from the sleepy groove with a sonorous tug. Similarly, snappy drums and Howe's sugary

Nick's piece is very dark, with a bright white passage of river rapids running along the foundation of a red mill — one of the buildings at VSC. The Gihon River also appears in Howardena Pindell's "Waterfall (Gihon River) Squared and Numbered, Johnson, VT." It is a delicate line etching with chine colle — a collage technique in which a thinner piece of paper is adhered to the heavier one and printed simultaneously. T h a t square of transparent paper focuses attention on an area at the left of the image. Pindell's waterfall is a tumbling, twisting aggregation of fine lines moving over rocks. An untitled etching by Susanna Coffey combines layers of red ochre and gray to build a frontal portrait of a figure that has the eerie vagueness of the Shroud of Turin. The subjects head and shoulders emerge from the lower half of the vertical print while constellations of red and gray spatters inhabit the atmosphere. James McGarrell's "Aquarium" is a monochromatic interior in blue. Large windows are filled with dolphins and other sea creatures, viewed by bystanders who are comparatively much less graceful.

Master printer Sarah Amos assisted in the production of many of the pieces. Monotypes dominate the show, perhaps because they're a particularly direct form of printmaking — basically like making a painting on an etching plate and running it through the press. An example of this painterly approach is an untitled piece by Dusty Boynton. A large white circle, like a smoke ring, floats above a field of tangled black and raw sienna lines. But beneath the scrambled lines are more subtle areas of pale gray. "White River Junction" is a black-and-white monotype cityscape by Lisbeth Firmin. Its composition is simple: just a view down a street, fading into a vanishing point. But the image is beautifully drawn. It has the softness of a lithograph, and Firmin creates a rich range of lights and darks.

proportionally balanced while lines create movement. Collographs are images printed from plates raised by glue or other materials. Lisa Hoke's "Arabesque Cocktail" is made from a pair of side-by-side plates filled with spirals. The left half of the image is a green field with gray spirals, over which smudged red lines and pale blue swirls are layered. The print's right half is a brown field with umber spirals. Its higher layers are clean red swirls and effervescent blue patches. Hoke's contrapuntal shapes, rhythms and hues unify the two halves of the image. Editions of the Burlington City Arts Print Project contribute to a similar fundraising scheme, inviting non-printmakers to make limited works that benefit the organization. It's a nice idea, both for the nonprofit and for those who purchase the affordable artworks. T h e particularly distinguished artists who havg contributed to the Vermont Studio Center's print project have produced an engaging body of contemporary art and enabled the everpopular pastimes of philanthropy and art-collecting to coincide. ®

A scene from Sweet Old Song the other armstrong: when Terry Zwigoff's Louie Bluie documentary came out in 1986, Howard Armstrong — the visual artist and musician who sometimes used that rhyming pseudonym —r- was a mere 75 years old. The guy is now in his early nineties and still playing blues, gospel, rags, Appalachian folk and Tin Pan Alley pop like there's no tomorrow. In Sweet Old Song, airing Tuesday, July 30, on Vermont Public Television, producerdirector Leah Mahan examines the courtship that came late in Armstrong's life. He was 73 but looked about 50 when he met Barbara Ward, who appeared to be 25 but was actually 43. So, although the couple does not have a typical May-December relationship, they can't avoid a few looming agedisparity issues. Mahan never quite explains how they found each other when Armstrong was living in Detroit and Ward was a Boston resident. Whatever the circumstances, a spark apparently ignited. Armstrong sent her eloquent, insistent, hand-written love letters, always decorating the page and the envelope with his vivid designs. "I was attracted to his energy," the younger woman says of the man

30 years her senior. "But it frightened me." Small wonder. Armstrong has been a hyper genius since boyhood. At one point in the film, he's seen holding a piece of chalk in each hand and simultaneously drawing two terrific caricatures on a classroom blackboard. The act is so fast and effortless that, had a camera not been there to catch it, his ambidextrous flourish might have gone unnoticed. When Armstrong talks, his verbal potpourri of wisecracks, sardonic commentaries, memories, nonsense words and wistful observations could be the patter of a seasoned entertainer. But when the raconteur picks up a mandolin or fiddle — he plays 22 instruments — audiences are thrilled. The man excels in a number of musical styles and his singing voice is just as versatile. Ward, a sculptor, is somewhat less distinct in the film. That might be because Armstrong has such an outsized personality. Yet, as his back-up vocalist, percussionist, business manager and chief booster, she demonstrates a bemused patience with his periodic crankiness. He relies on her strength of character. Their collaboration

extends to the memoir she is writing and the gorgeous illustrations he paints based on her tales of growing up in tough times. Both come from families with nine children. Ward's was an urban saga. Sweet Old Song follows Armstrong on his first visit back to his hometown in many a moon. The sleepy Tennessee hamlet of LaFollette doesn't seem much changed in the decades since he left — except that African-Americans are no longer legally segregated. During this visit, with the mayor proclaiming a Howard Armstrong Day in his honor, he's hailed as a local hero at the high school that once excluded black teens. Zwigoff was inspired to create his rambling cinematic biography after discovering a 1934 recording by Louie Bluie and Ted Bogan, Armstrongs lifelong friend. They toured extensively as a duo or part of a string band, beginning in the 1920s. The Southerners even busked in Chicago's ethnic neighborhoods, offering favorite Polish, German or Italian tunes for spare change. We see faded photographs that Armstrong cherishes: his equally musical brothers, all now deceased; his grandmother, a former slave; his father, whose "great-

granddaddy" was a Scotch-Irish slave owner. "I'm the last surviving member of my family," Armstrong laments, but his remark raises some unanswered questions: Did none of his siblings have children? Was he ever married before? Was Ward? The missing pieces bedevil this profile and overshadow its sense of intimacy. Perhaps Sweet Old Song should be broadcast in tandem with Louie Bluie to provide a more complete picture. Although Mahan may not have crafted a cohesive whole, many lovely moments help define these intriguing people. When Armstrong and Ward stop at a Tennessee cemetery to search for his parents' final resting place, she tells him to bring along the mandolin. But he's reluctant, possibly troubled by the specter of his own inevitable death. The nonagenarian protests: "I don't play no music around ghosts and things." Armstrong initially doubts whether the mutual grave of his mother and father was ever marked with a proper memorial. Before long, though, he's perched atop their formdable tombstone, strumming and singing a poignant hymn — a haunting serenade for those ghosts and things. ®

Uninspired, unimaginative, unnecessary. These are the adjectives that spring to mind when reflecting upon Eight Legged Freaks. Director Ellory Elkayem has either just arrived from another planet or awakened from a very long coma if he thinks alluding cinematically to campy Cold War-era creature features has not been done to death already. After a quarter-century of campy Troma releases, remakes of campy chestnuts like Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, The Incredible Shrinking Woman and Godzilla, not to mention Tim Burton's ode to sci-Fi camp, Mars Attacks/, what on Earth would lead a studio executive to think there's a market for a campy Them!-sty\e picture about giant spiders attacking a remote Southwestern town? It's the Pool Principle. I have a theory that goes like this: If there's a swimming pool in a shot, no Filmmaker, however talented or intelligent, can resist the temptation to have a character fall into it. It might as well be a law of nature. Similarly, if there is something Filmmakers can do with computer technology that hasn't been done yet, they are powerless to resist doing it. CGIs have been used to bring big snakes, big alligators, big dinosaurs, big birds, big sharks, big monkeys and big dragons to the big screen, but, until now, no one had gotten around to computer-generating big spiders. (Arachnophobia doesn't count since it predated the C G I revolution.) And so, presto, some studio suit pitched the idea and Figured, O K , millions of 14- to 25-year-olds are going to show up to see what the big spiders look like, and he greenlights the production. I've seen the Film and, believe me, no other explanation for it is conceivable. David Arquette stars. T h a t fact alone will likely prompt many in the target audience to assume the Film is a parody in the tradition of Scream. Warner Brothers is no doubt hoping that's the case. T h e fact, however, is that Eight Legged Freaks is not a spoof of dopey monster movies. It is a dopey monster movie. N o t long after a barrel of — guess what — toxic waste tumbles off a passing truck and into a pond (now there's a fresh touch), local arachnids start mutating into Volkswagen-sized bugs and preying on the inhabitants of Prosperity, Arizona. That's the Film's idea of humorous movie writing. T h e town is called Prosperity, but everyone who lives in it is suffering through hard times because the mine has been shut down. Get it? Unbelievably, it's downhill from there.

T h e Film is void of wit, suspense, irony, excitement or even trace elements of originality. T h e performances are instantly forgettable and the direction augurs a career change for Mr. Elkayem in the nottoo-distant future. Sure, the big spiders look real, but computers can make creatures of any kind look real these days. Elkayem can't even decide whether he wants his monsters to be scary or funny, and he flip-flops so often they wind up being neither. It's summer, so lots of recent movies have been lightweight or slightly disappointing. But the season has hit a low point with this one. Eight Legged Freaks isn't mindless fun or a popcorn movie.

Dear Cecil, Howard Hughes's H-4 (the "Spruce Goose") flew only one time, in 1947. Somewhere it was written that Hughes detected a vibration or pulsating in the aircraft frame or in the control wheel right after he lifted off and decided to set the H-4 back down rather than take a big risk that it would be uncontrollable if he gained more altitude. It was also said that he was just proving that it would indeedflyfor the senators and that he just wanted to prove it by flying only a very short distance. What is the straight dope? — Marvin Moss I know what you're thinking. Well, maybe not what you're thinking, J^grvin, since you sound like an 4tViation huff. However, the average person is thinking: Of course Howard Hughes flew the Spruce Goose only once (it wasn't spruce, by the way — it was mostly made out of birch). By far the biggest airplane ever built, the H-4, also khown as the Hercules, had a vwingspan of 320 feet — 20 feet longer than a football field. It had enough cargo space to carry two railroad boxcars. It had eight masr sive engines with 17-foot propellers. It weighed 300,000 pounds. And it was made of wood. They make, or at least made, toy gliders out of wood, not real aircraft. Hughes was lucky the wings didn't break off during the first flight. Shows you what the average person knows. As late as 1977, the party that commissioned the H-4, the U.S. government, was thinking about flying it again. Great, the U.S. government almost embarrassed itself twice, you're thinking. (Not you, Marvin. The average guy.) I'm not saying the design didn't have its problematic aspects. But it wasn't as crazy as some might believe. The idea for a giant seaplane was initially championed by industrial magnate Henry Kaiser, who had masterminded the Liberty Ship construction program, which cranked out freighters in an unbelievable 48 days (record: five days). Kaiser wanted to transport war material overseas by air, where it would be safe from enemy torpe-

does. But he knew nothing about airplane building and was happy to hook up with Hughes, who'd assembled a team of crack aeronautics engineers that, among other things, helped him design a plane that set a speed record in 1935. Despite opposition from the military and the aircraft industry, Kaiser and Hughes landed a government contract to build three prototype planes. The catch: The long-shot project could make only minimal use of strategic materials such as metals. That meant using wood, common in small aircraft but untested in one so large. Hughes' eccentricities hobbled the project from the start. Kaiser found his partner impossible to work with and was relegated to the sidelines. Hughes micromanaged every design detail, and work soon fell far behind schedule. By early 1943 the metals shortage had eased and many urged that aluminum be substituted for wood, but Hughes, apparently enamored of the advanced plywood fabrication methods his team had developed, declined to switch. Skeptics almost succeeded in killing the project in 1944, but somehow Hughes got the OK to continue. The war ended before the plane was assembled into one piece. The project dragged out until 1947, when a U.S. Senate committee began investigating Hughes for defense contract irregularities, particularly regarding the Spruce Goose. As if to demonstrate that he hadn't defrauded the gov-

t h e

ernment, Hughes, who always testpiloted his own planes, flew the H4 about a mile in less than a minute during what was supposed to be a taxiing test on November 2. Why did Hughes never fly the plane again? Some said he was afraid to, but his closest associates denied it. The more likely explanation is that there was no reason to continue. The war was long over. The need for big seaplanes had evaporated. Wood construction was obviously a dead end. Even before the flight Hughes admitted that the plane was too large to be economical. Claiming there were still research lessons to be learned, he stubbornly kept the work going until around 1952. But he was distracted by other ventures and increasingly reclusive. Eventually everyone moved on to other things. After Hughes' death in 1976, the plane was put on exhibit and now may be seen at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. Was the Spruce Goose an impractical boondoggle? Absolutely. Was it completely off the wall? No. The plane was flyable — no small point. In fact, in 1977 the U.S. Navy seriously considered test flights with the H-4 as part of research into low-altitude transoceanic flight. Didn't happen, which is probably just as well. But one thing you have to give Howard Hughes: He may have been crazy, but he was no fool. — CECIL ADAMS

I I W While Americans consider a quick fix for our fuel jones in Alaska, resourceful renegades are fillin' 'er up with vegetable oil and crossing the country in "grease cars." The producers of this weekend s Vermont Alternative Energy Festival are taking it a step further, powering up with nothing more than good 'ol "bio-diesel." Find out what the heck that is while groovin' to the tunes of former Strangefolker Reid Genauer, members of the Jerry Garcia Band, Seth Yacovone and other homespun heroes. "We're trying to create a different forum for learning," says co-organizer Troy Osborne, "and have a good time while we're at it."

Edgy, urban drama heats up the Burlington theater scene for a fortnight as the Big Apple-based Atlantic Theater Company returns after a four-year hiatus from its summer stints in the Queen City. With a cache of characters, knack for picking new playwrights and distinctive freestyle approach, the Tony-winning team turns even its works-in-progress into enlightening events. Artistic director Neil Pepe calls Jeff Whitty's The Hiding Place a "charming and funny New York romance that circles around a young writer, a Spalding Gray-type performer and a visual artist."

SHELBURNE MUSEUM, 1 P.M., THURSDAY, JULY 18

'Twas not the ideal weather conditions for whimsy last Thursday, but the fairies came out anyway — as did the sprites, star-crossed lovers, a duke and lots of misplaced love juice. It was the Very Merry Theater's condensed production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and even Shakespeare c o u l d n ' t have envisaged a better teaser than to have winged, garland-clad little creatures running around the fairly idyllic grounds of the Shelburne Museum. In keeping with the spirit of a proper traveling troupe, the 2 6 kids and their team of nearly-as-talented adults spent last week performing at venues all around the area. Their hand-built, hand-painted wagon unfolded into a colorful stage, while a flute, harp, tambourine, triangle, xylophone and bells provided the musical accompaniment. Created by social worker Donald Wright and artist Wendy Copp, who in their spare time organize arts programs in Burlington schools, this two-week acting camp put 7 - to 14-year-olds through a week of rehearsals followed by the inaugural traveling six-performance run. Even though the wind was whistling in the microphones, the actors projected like Royal Academiciansin-training and provided some particularly, though perhaps not altogether intentionally, entertaining moments. Such as the scene when Demetrius' sword broke off in the middle of a heated dispute w i t h Lysander; Demetrius smiled surreptitiously even while his dad; Donald Wright, rippled with laughter in his director's chair. Or when Puck came in on a decidedly non-Elizabethan prop: a scooter adorned with flowers and leaves. And it's probably safe to say that when Shakespeare had Titania ask Bottom what he "desirest to eat," the bard was not imagining a big fat Hershey bar. Love and reason may hold little company these days, but sparkle and magic still do. And if anyone had to ask who was enraptured with whom in the play, the answer would have had to be the ones sitting on the grass with the ones up on stage. — Dominique

Most back pain victims have no idea what to do when they experience back pain; they use heat, ice, sleep on the floor... even take pain pills hoping their pain will go away and not come back. But the truth is most of the time the back pain returns. To receive more information on "Back Pain Relief," call (802) 863-5828.

ology

jy^LZ^—si ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): How frequently do I, your level-headed guide, hand you a blank check for instant gratification, a free pass for unlimited partying and a poetic license to indulge in what might at any other time be an obscene abundance of luxurious sensation? Not often, my dear, not often. I advise you, therefore, not to sit a minute longer squandering your precious hedonistic opportunities. If this week were a chapter in a book or a song on a CD, it might be called "Wisely Rowdy Playtime." (But feel free to come up with your own extravagant title.)

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): For the next three weeks, your power symbol will be manna. In the Old Testament it was the delicious food that miraculously materialized to sustain the Israelites as they wandered in the wilderness. The superstars of the New Testament, Jesus and Paul, called it the magical bread of life that provided spiritual nourishment. Updating the concept for your purposes, we'll define manna as any experience that satisfies your soul's hunger (though not necessarily your ego's). I predict that you'll be able to feast on it in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In Why Smart People Can Be So Stupid, a book edited by Robert J. Sternberg, the stupidity scholar David N . Perkins lists eight common traps for individuals who are usually pretty intelligent. I gently want to bring his catalogue to your attention, Gemini, because you're in a rare phase when you may be capable of both extraordinary brilliance and embarrassing foolishness. Please be extra-vigilant that you don't fall prey to any of the following missteps: 1. impulsiveness; 2. neglect; 3. procrastination; 4. vacillation; 5. backsliding; 6. indulgence; 7. overdoing; 8. tempting fate. (Thanks to Gavin McNett for his review of the book at www.salon.com.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): "Where is your belly cord buried?" According to an editorial at www.indiancountry.com, this is the question Native American elders pose when they want to find out where you belong. Chances are you don't know what happened to your umbilical cord, Cancerian, so let's find another way to stimulate your imagination as we probe for the whereabouts of your true home. How about this: O n this Earth, are there any power spots that provoke shivers down your spine or raise goose bumps on your arms? At this juncture in your astrological cycle, you need to be there — at least in your dreams. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Congratulations, Leo. The shrieking gargoyles from the fifth level of hell have decided you're no longer worth harassing. They've headed back to the nasty pit they came from. Similarly, you can disappear your fear about those pious monsters from the garbage dumps of heaven. They've also given up on tormenting you. For the foreseeable future, in fact, there's little likelihood that any more demons, bad guys or jerks will try to tickle you into hysteria with a vulture feather. You are, as we say in the consciousness industry, free.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If I were your psychotherapist, I'd urge you to talk to me about control and manipulation, about dominance and surrender, about how to transform * power struggles into exercises in mutual empowerment. Whereupon maybe you'd blurt out, "No way, man! I'm bone-weary of you always trying to regulate what we discuss. In fact, I'm sick and tired of everyone who tries to move me in the direction

they want to go without any regard for where I want to go." And this, Virgo, would be the exact response I'd have hoped to elicit from you. It would blast away your excessive humility, maybe even purge the compulsive aspects of your desire to be of service. I bet you'd then set out on a quest to claim the authority and command you have forbidden yourself from owning all these years.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope no one is foolish enough to underestimate you in the coming days. People who interpret your harmonious grace as a sign of weakness will no doubt be flummoxed when they get an up-close look at the iron fist that lies inside your velvet glove. For that matter, everyone you encounter may be amazed both at how multifaceted you are and how skillful you are at expressing all your facets simultaneously. I won't be surprised at all, of course. As your soul coach, I know for a fact you're less fragmented and more integrated now than you've been in months. In fact, I'd love to see you unveil the whole uncensored truth of who you are: to get out there and be part-saint, partwild thing, part beauty-worshiper and part hard-ass negotiator.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I dreamed my horoscope columns were printed on grocery bags in supermarkets all over the world. As a result, teen-age boys working as baggers were relentlessly exposed 4:o my counsel. They became enthralled with my secret agenda, which is to galvanize the feminine aspect of the Divine Intelligence. Lo and behold, thousands were inspired to place their raw macho energy in service to the Goddess. Soon hordes of young men had created a militantly peaceful

supra-national fighting force called the United Snakes of Gaia, which strove to reverse the mass extinction of species that is raging all around us. And that's my fantasy of how I saved the world. Come up with your own version, Scorpio. It's time to rededicate your life to a power beyond your own personal glory.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your I Q i s already higher than usual, and it's continuing to rise. Why? Maybe because the arousing planet Mars is joining with the Sun and Mercury to massage your brain chemistry in all the places where it has been stuck. Or perhaps your shrewdness is growing because you're becoming more aggressive about perceiving the world around you. Another possible explanation is that you're tapping into a previously dormant reservoir of what astrologer Kat King calls creagousness, or creative courageousness. Whatever the cause, Sagittarius, I suggest you milk the mystery for all it's worth. Don't waste time on trivial conquests like polishing off crossword puzzles or acing personality tests in magazines. Try to solve the riddle of the ages, or at least your longest-running personal problem. ,

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Like many of his contemporaries, Flemish artist Michael Sweerts (1618-1664) painted elegant portraits of rich and famous people. But he rendered his less glamorous subjects with just as much sympathy arid respect. His old women have dignity. His peasants radiate nobility. There are even sparks of humanity in his destitute charity cases. I urge you to make him your role model for now, Capricorn. Give yourself as fully to low-status people as you do to VTPs who can pull strings for you. Expect

useful teachings to come from those you've ignored or dismissed in the past. And care for the flawed and neglected parts of yourself with as much love as you bestow on your shining beauty.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won't get the ride you want this week — unless you desire it with all your heart. You'll never receive the answer you yearn to hear unless you're brave enough to pop a very big question. You simply cannot snag the assignment you crave or the fun you seek or the wealth you're ready for unless you assert very forcefully how much you deserve it and need it. Luckily, Aquarius, the astrological omens suggest that people are unusually receptive to you right now. Can there be any doubt about what to do next?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): More and more creative people find they do their best work when they're happy and well-adjusted. I know writers who no longer need to be drunk or sick or in agony in order to shed the numbness of their daily routine and claim the full powers of their imagination. I have musician friends whose best songs flow not from the depths of twisted alienation but rather from the heights of well-earned bliss. For the recalcitrant throwbacks who are addicted to antiquated cultural habits, there may still be a fine line between madness and genius. But I speak for many when I say it's time to laugh that motif into oblivion. Please join the revolution, Pisces." You're ready to embody this sea change in your own personal life.

Lola

the love counselor

Dear Lola, "Jimmy," the man I'm hoping to many, is no Adonis, but he's got a fairly respectable bod and looks perfectly tine In his Speedo. The other day, though, Jimmy's family Joined us. They're nice people, but his father has a beer gut you wouldn't believe and Insists on dressing Just as skimpily as his son. I thought I would die. And now I'm wondering: What If, as he gets older, Jimmy takes after his dad — both In terms of physique and dress code? Should I tell Jimmy how I feel, so he knows In advance not to get Into the habit? Or should I keep my mouth shut and hope for the best? Worried In Williston Dear Worried, First of all, ifs not cool to bad-mouth someone else's family, so keep your thoughts to yourself. More Importantly, though, the thoughts you're considering sharing sound uglier to me than the spectacle you describe. Jimmy's dad isnt dressing for a beauty pageant, he's simply trying to enjoy a day at the beach. Rather than criticizing him, you should be admiring his lack of Inhibition. Ifs attitudes like yours that feed anorexia and other body-image disorders. Rather than trying to bend the world to your Image, I recommend a slight attitude adjustment. Believe me, you'll be happier for It. Love, Lola
