Another wholesome topic. But if I don't explain this stuff, who will? Headhunted can be found in various p a r t s of the world, but the oaly people I know of who actually shrank heads (supposedly the practice has been stamped out) were the Jivaro of Ecuador arui PJtii, who live in the remote rainforest around the; headwaters of the Amazon* The heads, called tsantsa, were to the Jivaro what scalps were to some North American tribes — trophies of battle. The Jivaro tribes were constantly attacking one another, mostly to avenge some real or imagined wrong. The practical goal of these raids was wives and booty — the Jivaro were polygamous, and they had to be, or their constant losses in battle sodJ^woukl haw rendered them extinct. But they figured, if j^wldidnt get a few heads out of the deal, where was the fun? ISHrmking a head involved an elaborate ritual. The explorer F.W. Up de Graff first described this in a chilling account of an 1897 Jivaro raid on which he and several other Europeans tagged along. The raiders attacked another clan's compound. Having slain some of the inhabitants and scared off the rest, they set about chopping the heads off the fallen. One victim was a woman who had the misfortune of not being dead; untroubled by this, one raider held her down, another pulled back her head, and a third went to work on her neck with a stone ax. This proved to be slow going, so the Jivaro asked to borrow the authors machete> Up de Graff turned it over, rationalizing that it would put the victim out of her misery; besides, the Europeans

I The Firehouse flap over a "censored" work of art is national news now. The program director of the National Campaign for Freedom of Expression made some inquiries last week in Burlington concerning a spurned drawing of a male nude in a heightened sexual state. Calling from the phallic capital of the world, David Greene wanted to know exactly why the work violated aesthetic guidelines established by Burlington City Arts for exhibition in public spaces. The tip came from Vermont artist Peter Gallo, who had similar censorship problems earlier this summer with a show he curated at the Helen Day Arts Center in Stowe. Although he acknowledges that "Burlington is definitely ahead of the game" for having a written policy at all, Greene draws no comfort from the notion of community-crafted guidelines. "You have to be really careful to not let the will of the community define how individuals can express themselves," he warns. "Free speech protects what is unpopular." And marketable. The controversial Colburn show, now at Rhombus, is attracting buyers as well as gawkers. Even

FAIR AND SQUARE:

Guess where the co-owner of Red Square Bar &C Grill is spending his vacation? Russia, of course. For Jack O'Brien, the tri p will be a welcome break fro m the Burlington bar. Business is booming — too loud, for some. Although his entertainment permit lets him rock until two, "When 12 o'clock rolls around, the phone starts ringing," says O'Brien. The surf band Barbacoa got shut down last Thursday when neighbors complained about the noise. "It depends who they are, and how desperate they are," O'Brien jokes about the callers. "But seriously, I have to be conscious of how they feel." Even if it is copy editors calling from the neighboring Burlington Free Prm insisting they need "total silence" to do their jobs. Maybe that explains the headline in Sundays Free Press, "Student seaks Senate seat." Shhh.

Vermont fdmmakerjay Craven has spawned another cinematic company: "Fledgling Films" is a pint-sized version of Kingdom County Productions. Forty-one teens worked through the winter and spring to write the satirical script about a doomed high school play in which everything that can go wrong does. With the notable exception of professional actors Tantoo Cardinal, Rusty Dewees and Bill Raymond, the cast and crew are all kids. Its a great intro to the film biz. And free labor goes a long way, as Craven well knows. Wannabe extras should call 563-2289 . . .

"These conferences are a little tough to get ott the ground in the first couple of years, but if the scene is supportive enough, and big enough, it should take off." - Adam Lewis Planetary Group, Boston By P a m e l a

Polston

hat if they gave a music conference and no one came? That's virtually what happened last year when Burlington City Arts made a valiant effort, but with too little time, to organize a local conference featuring educational workshops and performances. The music community stayed away, as they say, in

droves.

Why should this year's conference be any different? Why, indeed, even bother with anotlfer one? The first big change is its scope: The conference is not just an inbred, locals-only affair, but regional. Organizers are betting the inclusion of the entire Northeast will make it more attractive both to bands and workshop presenters, not to mention the label types who often sniff around conferences — and cities with a "buzz" — looking for new talent. The second difference is that the Burlington Music Conference, which begins this Wednesday, has been planned for some nine months, not just a few frantic weeks. The third and most immediately evident change is its new executive director, Tom Baggott. He got his feet wet last year when BCA hired him to help at the 11th hour, and immediately afterwards July

expressed his willingness — no, eagerness — to take on the conference himself this time around. __ What kind of a person would voluntarily organize a five-day music conferenceslash-festival — with 17 workshops, shows by over 180 acts, and next to no budget —

mitted," says BCA Director Doreen Kraft, "and because of that people give him leeway." Indeed. Baggott's first act required not only determination but delicate diplomacy: getting the conference away from the BCA while retaining their full cooperation and support. Which he did. The BCA

regional approach was a stroke of genius. The flip side of inviting more outsiders is the bigger spotlight it places on the Burlington music scene. "Regional media and industry will have a chance to see what Burlington has to offer, and regional bands can network," he explains. Baggott echoes a growing opinion that large, well-known music conferences like Austin's South by Southwest have "become so encumbered by the size and politics that they no longer serve as showcases for grassroots bands. Labels buy up the showcases — so why bother?" Grassroots appeal and approach go a long way, according to Baggott, whose own support of a bar band named Phish some years ago included organizing a couple of fan-filled busses to Boston in order to sell out clubs there. Those efforts certainly helped the band attain regional success. Their ensuing national recognition has found "Burlington pigeonholed nationally as a groove community," Baggott says a reputation enhanced by the success of Strangefolk, recently signed to . Mammoth Records, and the number of other Burlingtonbased jam bands playing the circuit. "Lots of people excited about Burlington," he adds, "don't realize how diverse it is." No kidding. Visitors to Burlington this week will find over half a dozen clubs stuffed with everything from hippie to

revels — was distracted by ' music, but is a teacher still. That's why he beams with pride about the BMC's intern program, designed to gain a young workforce in exchange for their learning valuable skills. About 15 students from area high schools have participated, for credit, so far. Baggott is also a polished salesman — a skill learned while peddling produce from family farms in Connecticut and Massachusetts. "I'm a salesman," he concedes, "but I happen to have a very cool product," meaning music. He's also benefitted from what real estate agents like to call location, location, location. "One of the biggest hooks I've had is Vermont," Baggott says. "Everyone likes Vermont." At least one of the industry panelists seconds that. "I'm definitely looking forward to it," says promoter Adam Lewis from Boston's Planetary Group. "Burlington has a pretty vibrant scene, a good vibe, and is a good place for a conference." Lewis also does marketing for Great Northeast Productions, which is promoting Phishs Lemonwheel concert in Maine. As for the success of the BMC this year, Lewis is philosophical: "These conferences are a little tough to get off the ground in the first couple of years," he notes, "but if the scene is supportive enough, and big enough, it should take off."

Will a new director and a broader focus spell success for the Burlington Music Conference!1 almost single-handedly? The answer "a crazy person" comes to mind. Granting the benefit of the doubt, we'll settle for "an extremely dedicated, workaholic person." That would describe this 28-year-old director, who chose the appropriate conference theme, "Do the Right Thing." Baggott's "day job" as MT Productions is a one-man booking agency for bands. And in his now-distant memories of spare time, he was a "quintessential sideman" in bands himself. Shrugging off naysayers and sometimes stepping on toes, Baggott comes across as either foolhardy or remarkably selfconfident. As it turns out, both are true: His sometimes naive optimism is matched by an undeterrable enthusiasm, focus and industriousness. Ants pale by comparison. "He's passionate and com-

remains the fiduciary agent for the conference, which affords BMC the benefit of nonprofit status while it applies for its own, as well as a safety net of sorts. Kraft herself is a member of the board — one of some 20 community members from the entertainment, legal, promotional and media fields. That body wrestled into shape a bare-bones budget — which doesn't include a salary for Baggott unless the conference makes money — and realistic goals for this years event. "Tom started out with a very ambitious proposal and it was wonderful," says Kraft, "but it was not for this year." Though less grandiose in scope than he had hoped initially, Baggott's conference is already an exponential leap from last year's before it even begins. Regardless of what the local turn-out proves to be, the

SEVEN DAYS

hip-hop, ska to singer-songwriter, alt to art rock. And that's just the nightlife; workshops each day will present subjects from people in the business to people who dearly want to be — among them a seminar on the future of jam/groove rock, entitled "What a Long, Strange Trip It Is," and "Put Your Best Foot Forward," a primer on self-promotion. "I believe deeply in the Burlington community and that it needs educational opportunities and industry exposure," Baggott says.-"The educational aspect is very important to me, very close to my heart — the strength of the classes will demonstrate that." The guy who left the University of Vermont intending to become a teacher — "I almost have an MA in intellectual and cultural history," he

So the measure of Baggott's salesmanship is not so much in attracting applications from 350 bands — ever enthusiastic about playing anywhere — nor even in lining up respectable out-of-town workshop presenters. The BMC will be judged, and its future cautiously predicated, on the numbers who show up to learn and to watch — and, yes, on the support of Burlington's own scene. It's fairly safe to say Tom Baggott is working his connections — including to the weatherman — to make it all happen. ® The Burlington Music Conference begins this Wednesday, July 29.

comes to the Flynn this week courtesy of The Green Mountain Dixieland Jazz Society. Formed just last November, the society has tootled its way in to everyother-Thursday slots at the Holiday Inn, and was responsible for putting pianist John Cassel with Dr. Jazz & the Dixie Hot Shots together in a tribute to Fats Waller during the Discover Jazz Festival in June. Organizer Peter Bridge cites increasing interest in traditional jazz (read: old people's music) among younger listeners as an exciting development in the genre's history. The August 4 show is a short list of who's who way down south in dixie — Pete Fountain, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and The Dukes of Dixieland — and the society's first foray into national programming. Clarinetist Fountain's name is practically synonymous with New Orleans jazz. The Crescent City native, born in 1930, had developed a reputation on Bourbon Street by age 16. He worked with the Dukes of Dixieland in the '50s, played on "The Lawrence Welk Show" and opened his own club in the French Quarter, which is still going strong.

Fountain is a veritable ambassador for N'awlins jazz around the world, but is rivaled by The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, some of whose members have been playing since the 1920s. For their part, the Dukes are approaching their 50th year, with varying personnel, and have seen some of the world's finest players pass through their ranks — including Pittsburgh native Jack Maheu.

(Messenger Records, CD) — On first listen, Chris Whitley s latest recording. Dirt Floor, seems pretty slight. There's not a lot for a hook-hungry pop-fiend like myself to bite into. But after a few spins, what seeps out is an appealing!/ wary, wistful feeling, as if Whitley craves both innocence and experience. This live acoustic production is spare but warm — produced by Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson, kd lang) on a two-track at Blue Moon Racing.Shop, aka a barn on Whitley's fathers farm in southern Vermont — leaving plenty of room for all the rattles and hums coming off Whitley's much-heralded National Steel guitar and banjo. "Its so hard to get warm where it's so easy to get burned,"' he sings on "Indian Summer," and this homeless, loveless sentiment goes well with the raw dobro ringing ail over this track.

THE PHISH TRIP

It was time to leave for Lemonwheel, their ridiculous concert in Maine, and the members of Phish were in a bit of a treehouse. It seems that Mike, the bass player and philanderer extraordinaire, had misplaced his tummy and simply couldn't leave without it. "I love my wide easy chair." he pouted. "Without it I would be gassy." "Ha ha ha, here it is, Mike," said Page languidly. "I hid your stupid little horse under the aardvark. Now let's go." Now Mike, Page, Trey and Jon were all smiles. They could hardly wait to fornicate in the bus. Trey in particular was excited to play his new Spice Girls tape at full volume, which was sure to arouse the others.

"Ha ha ha, here it is, Mike," said Page aversely. "I hid your stupid little hybrid under the artery. Now let's go." Now Mike, Page, Trey and Jon were all smiles. They could hardly wait to emit in the bus. Trey in particular was excited to play his new Backstreet Boys tape at full volume, which was sure to crucify the others. But no sooner did the boys hit the road than the sausage broke, and everyone had to pile out of the bus for 666 hours until it was fixed. During

hours until it was fixed. During this time Jon haphazardly ate eight slugs, then promptly fell asleep under a nearby trailer home. Meanwhile, Trey decided to cry to use his time shrewdly. The jejune guitarist, as every fan knows, had recently begun studying the teachings of Monica Lewinsky. "I'm sure," Trey told Guns & Ammo, "that this will make me more exhausted." Indeed, everyone agreed that it seemed to be working. Lately the songs Trey was writing were unbelievably carniverous. "This is his best work since 'Dinner & a Movie."' marveled Mike. Finally, the bus was repaired and Phish took to the road once again. From Montpelier to Maine it was smooth sailing — even Page's humongous cat failed to cause the usual torpor. But as soon as they crossed the Maine border, a huge baobob tree suddenly appeared in the middle of the

road. The bus driver slammed on the brakes, missing the luscious obstacle by 2 million inches. "Wow, that's the biggest extant subwoofer I've ever seen," yelped Jon. "What shall we do?" "No problem," replied the bus driver, who had begun to look a little repulsive. "I'm just going to prgmpisten around it." And he did. But then a strange thing happened. In the blink of an eye, the band found themselves on stage at Lemonwheel, instruments in hand. They looked out upon a sea of fans who were already moist. They began to play a song that resembled "You Enjoy Myself" but had the religious qualities of a pint of Ben & Jerry's. It was the beginning of a festering experience that no one present would ever forget. Not even Page. WINNER: BRIAN OESTREICH, BURLINGTON

everyone had to pile out of the bus for fourscore hours until it was fixed. During this time Jon inadvertently ate 1998 faith healers, then promptly fell asleep under a nearby sheep. Meanwhile, Trey decided to phlush to use his time sinfully. The atrophied guitarist, as every fan knows, had recently begun studying the teachings of Yog Sototh. "I'm sure," Trey told Fortean Times, "that this will make me more glamorous." Indeed, everyone agreed that it seemed to be working. Lately the songs Trey was writing were unbelievably benign. "This is his best work since 'Golgi.'" marveled Mike. Finally, the bus was repaired and Phish took to the road once again. From Montpelier to Maine it was smooth sailing — even Pages swollen knickers failed to cause the usual obsessive-compulsiveness. But as soon as they crossed the Maine border, a

"Wow, that's the biggest feisty fart I've ever seen," yelped Jon. "What shall we do?" "No problem," replied the bus driver, who had begun to look a little bereaved. "I'm just going to dilly-dally around it." And he did. But then a strange thing happened. In the blink of an eye, the band found themselves on stage at Lemonwheel, instruments in hand. They looked out upon a sea of fans who were already jaded. They began to play a song that resembled "Mr. Sausage" but had the charming qualities of a hernia.

Indeed, everyone agreed that it seemed to be working. Lately the songs Trey was writing were unbelievably perky. "This is his best work since 'Maze.'" marveled Mike. Finally, the bus was repaired and Phish took to the road once again. From Montpelier to Maine it was smooth sailing — even Page's phoney cupcake failed to cause the usual euphoria. But as soon as they crossed the Maine border, a huge girlfriend this time Jon hastily ate 400 agonizers. then promptly fell asleep under a nearby alien. Meanwhile, Trey decided to gnaw to use his time odiously. The impudent guitarist, as every fan knows, had recently begun studying the teachings of Tammy Fay Bakker.

"This is his best work since 'Chalk Du$t Torture,"' marveled Mike. Finally, the bus was repaired and Phish took to the road once again. From Montpelier to Maine it was smooth sailing — even Page's nocturnal scatterbrain failed to cause the usual euphoria. But as soon as they crossed the Maine border, a huge jelly bean suddenly appeared in the middle

"No problem," replied the bus driver, who had begun to look a little mottled. "I'm just going to spasm around it." And he did. But then a strange thing happened. In the blink of an eye, the band found themselves on stage at Lemonwheel, instruments in hand. They looked out upon a sea of fans who were already stinky.

here are two railroads," postulates Dr. Mark Smith, proprietor of the Huntington Valley Railway. "There's the railroad of horsepower, wheel diameter, rivets and tractive effort — the cold technology of big machines. And then there's the other railroad, the railroad of poets." Sitting in his book-lined office in the shadow of Camel's Hump, the former University of Vermont professor fixes his gaze on the landscape outside the window, a landscape dotted with steel rails, wooden ties and a small railroad trestle. "I can only give you examples," he says of that other railroad. "It's the steamy whisper of locomotives in a darkened roundhouse, it's a whistle reverberating off valley walls, it's kids standing at a rail crossing with eyes as big as saucers."

Smith can be excused for hearing the rhythm of the rails in the wind: He grew up near the Pennsylvania Railroad in the twilight of the steam era, and he once invested eight years of his life to publishing and editing the award-winning rail magazine, Locomotive & Railway Preservation. Bridging the gap between childhood observer and full-scale rail authority is nearly five decades building model trains, including the components of the Huntington Valley Railway.

The flagship of the railway's fleet — the Great Eastern Locomotive No. 2 — doesn't quite measure up to the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, but it far outweighs any H.O. toy. Five feet in length, nearly 800 pounds of cold, hard steel, the train is a fully functional, oneeighth-scale steam locomotive that Smith built from scratch. Living on bite-size chips of coal and small sips of water, fed to it by an engineer riding the tender car, this Lilliputian version of "The Little Engine That Could" has a top speed of 25 mph, and actually can haul up to 36 people. Grownup people. While train technology has evolved to electric cars that commonly break the 200-mph mark on European passenger lines, there's something about a cranky steam locomotive that manages to captivate Smith — and hundreds of thousands of train enthusiasts — to this day. "It's the most anthro-mechanical machine that humans have ever concocted," he explains. "If you look at all its qualities, it labors, it rests, everything's in motion, it's totally explicit in terms of what its doing, it's fed, it's driven, it's very fussy. Its human-like." Despite a fascination with a beast that the cleric of Connecticut once warned would drive people mad, it's the railroad culture — and not just the machines — that left the greatest impression on Smith. "I'm not a rail fan, I'm not a rail buff," he claims adamantly. "What I'm really interested in is society and people and what they do. I'm interested in human enterprise, creativity, inventiveness, inge-

nuity, those kind of words. It just so happens that the railroads were the motif — the steam engine in particular — where so much of that was going on." In Smith's eyes, Vermont photographer Philip Ross Hastings both embodied and captured the creativity of the railroad world. "He was, in my opinion, the greatest railroad photographer of this century," asserts Smith, noting that Hastings' vision was to serve as an inspiration for his journal and its 16,000 subscribers. An innovator who produced more than 65,000 rail-

"I'm interested in human enterprise, creativity, inventiveness, ingenuity, those kind of words. It just so happens that the railroads were the motif - the steam engine in particular - where so much of that was going on." - Mark Smith road images between 1937 and 1986, Hastings was the first photographer to abandon the dramatic "three-quarter wedge line" shot of a train bearing down on the camera. Instead, he sought out a variety of angles that brought the larger Continued

bile spelled an end to that order not long after World War II. While the removal of 1300 miles of rapid-transit track to make way for Los Angeles' freeways was probably the crowning moment marking the ascension of Detroit's rubber barons, the social ramifications of the shift to automobiles continues to reverberate in Vermont and throughout the country as it struggles with development and land use patterns, Smith suggests. "One line of rail will handle the equivalent of 13 lanes of Interstate," he says, citing a

picture of the railroads into the frame. A Hastings composition was as likely to document the surrounding rail yards or oil-and-soot-stained engineers as it was the machinery of the times. In contrast to today's Vermont, where you don't seem to be able to get anywhere from here by rail, Hastings knew a state dominated by trains. During his residency as a psychiatry student at UVM in the 1940s, Burlington's bustling rail yard

Albans, and no fewer than 18 trains ran from Burlington to Boston every day. "It was integral to the culture and fabric of our cities and towns," instructs Smith of the role of rail in Vermont. "The depot was the center of every town that the railroad went through. Main Street emanated out from the depot. Life really came and went on the rails, whether it was news, or Aunt Sarah or the refrigerator people ordered from Sears & Roebuck." Americas well-documented infatuation with the automo-

engines

Littleton,

statistic from one of his editorials, entitled "A Question of Quality," that makes a case for railroading. "Cities and states, and Vermont is no exception, are discovering they don't have the room to put any more Interstate, not to mention the parking, and not to mention the pollution," the former publisher maintains today. Contradicting the recent national fleecing of the Champlain Valley commuter rail project as "a boondoggle," Smith praises the "astute insight" of Vermont's political leaders on the issue. "If we want to save our downtowns, it means mass transit in some form or another," he says matter-of-factly. But don't expect the Huntington Valley Railway to jump the tracks and start making runs beyond the borders of Smith's Windekind Farm any time soon. "I plan to get into garden railroads next," he says of the hottest model-train trend, which integrates smaller electric railways with elaborate gardens. It may be somewhat harder without his beloved "live steam" engines, but in the garden, at least, Smith may find the railroad of poets. ® Ride the rails on a replica of a 1920s passenger steam locomotive between Burlington and Rutland August 8-9.

A reluctant "Promulgator takes religion for a ride

By B r y a n

ou can't do the subject of "wheels" justice without bringing up the most famous set of treads in the Queen City. I'm not talking about the mayoral motorcade, or the unintentionally erotic 'Ride Me I'm Free" shuttle bus. I'm talking about a converted pickup that's seen a B-movie actor, the ex-head of the CIA, and a draft-dodging noninhaler hold the highest office in the land. You've seen it cruising around the city, bon mots of wisdom stuck to every square inch, and not a single Euro in sight. Its owner's name is Tex — aka George Berteau — but you may know him as "the Promulgator." A promulgator is one who, according to Webster s, "makes known by open declaration," and our Promulgator has certainly done that. If there's one

thing all residents of Burlington have in common, it's that shared glimpse of the Promulgator's eye-catching message as it rolls down the road. Last week I went in search of Tex. It took me a few days to find him — where's a promulgator when you really need one? — and only then realized how little I actually do see the seemingly ubiquitous mobile messenger. On a tip, I searched the parking lot of Hannaford's on Dorset Street, and there was the truck in all its glory, parked at the far end of the lot. Tex wasn't there, but his dogs were. It's the dogs that keep Tex just this side of dangerously disturbing in the minds of the Burlington public, if you ask me. How can you distrust a man with such friendly dogs? It sends skittering away any dark rumors about a possible unglorious history — which in any case I could not get any officials to confirm. For the record, the black dog's name is Bear and the tan one is Tangi. They jumped around playfully as I sat on the grass and waited for Tex to return to his vehicle. I Continued

efore I sat down to write this story, I made a quick trip downtown to pick up iunday Times and a couple of gallons of iced coffee to see me through the creative process. I live in Colchester right on Route 15, and when I drive into town for any reason I have my pick of directions. I can cut over to Williston Road on Lime Kiln Road and drive through the Martian landscape to Main Street; I can take 1-89 in the same direction, which narrowly shortens the trip; or I can go through Winooski and the Old North End, which takes me right downtown. I have no preference for any of these routes. They're all inconvenient and they're all dangerous, reflective of the ghastly traffic free-for-all that distinguishes this city. On this particular trip, which lasted no more than 45 minutes, I saw three cars sail straight through red lights at busy intersections. A seemingly endless supply of white women in Jeep Cherokees pushed up against me all along the route, sniffing my exhaust and darting anxiously left and right in the hope that sooner or later they could zoom around me in traffic lanes that don't exist. Several of them managed to do so whenever I slowed down for a curve or a stop sign, which they then failed to observe as they roared off to wherever they were going. Somebody gave me the finger when I glared at him. Another shouted "Asshole!" when I stopped at a yellow light. Apparently I'm the only person left in Burlington who does stop at yellow lights, for which I offer no explanation except that I was taught to drive that way and that I get a sadistic pleasure from thwarting the yuppie population wherever I can. I'm a careful driver and that's the truth, with no blemish on my record for the past 20 years. So why is the State of Vermont going to suspend my license on August 9 for an july

I'll tell you one thing for sure: If the cops are going after drivers like me, they're going to have to gas the whole town. Picture a dark winter night in a sleepy Vermont village — in this case, Shelburne, wellknown for its ticket-crazy cops and entrapment practices. Picture me, a pathetic AIDS victim, collecting my aged mother at her sisters home after a quiet game of cards. Picture the three-way intersection at School Street and Harbor Road, with no traffic anywhere in sight. Remember that it was pitch dark, a February evening around 9 o'clock, and that if there had been any other traffic we'd have seen the headlights. Picture our astonishment, therefore, when, halfway up July

Harbor Road to Route 7, we suddenly saw flashing blue lights behind us and were pulled over by a plump, crewcutted patrolman — whose name I don't remember and don't want to know on account of the libel laws — who informed me that I had "failed to stop" at the School Street stop sign. "Did you know there was a stop sign there?" he asked. "No, really?" I answered, which are apparently the words that doomed me, as they implied an admission of guilt. What I meant and what I immediately explained is that I had driven on these roads so frequently, that I had escorted my mother to and from her sisters so many times, that I was neither aware nor unaware of the stop sign, but that I was certain I had not committed any serious violation. If I had "failed to stop," it was purely a technicality, a matter of inches and seconds, as I had by no means been driving recklessly or otherwise failing to observe the rules of the road. But no dice. Guilty as charged. I'd probably have paid the ticket right away if it hadn't been so outrageously inflated — $150 for a violation I am sure did not take place, and which my saintly mother also firmly disputes. In court, the ticketing officer said that he had been driving weston Harbor Road when we turned from School Street east toward Shelburne village. He would thus have needed to witness the

supposed violation through his back window or rear-view mirror at a considerable distance. Apart from the fact that no one else was driving on the road that night, the distance involved renders the testimony, at least, debatable. Personally, I have little doubt that Mr. Man was parked somewhere along Harbor Road with his lights out, just waiting for some luckless schlemiel like me to happen by and shoot the mark by a couple of inches. My journey through the courts and the appeals process at the Department of Motor Vehicles has left me convinced beyond doubt that Vermont's traffic court system is a form of legalized graft, motivated by the need for a certain quota of convictions, and with automatic credence given to ticketing officers even when there are witnesses who.dispute the case. In District Court on Cherry Street, Judge Rita Flynn Villa convicted me without a moments hesitation and further insulted my intelligence by giving me an impromptu lecture in civic responsibility. "Just because everybody else does it doesn't mean," etc. etc. Judge Villa told me that I could appeal her ruling to a jury, which I promptly did, at the same time refusing to pay the extortionist "filing fee" of $75. I explained that I had already had civics lessons and Continued

knew I was entitled to a trial whether I paid the fee or not. Undoubtedly this signalled to the court that I was a Problem, but no matter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I forged ahead. When my court date finally came around last September, I was ill and unable to attend. I had just started on a new course of anti-viral medications for HIV that forbade me to go more than 20 feet from a toilet. Anyone who's ever been on the pills will know what this is like. The day before the hearing, I phoned the court to ask what I should do in the circumstances, and was told that I need only write a letter explaining the situation and that I should get the letter to the court that very day. I had it hand-delivered. Three days later a notice came that my request had been denied as "not timely." There were no further instructions or communications until two months ago, when the Department of Motor Vehicles told me that my license was about to be suspended for my failure to pay the fine. How's that? I replied. The court had given me no information in the interim on how I should proceed. When I went down in person to sort it out I was told that I had missed a 30-day window of appeal back in September, about which I was never informed, as I can prove with documentation. Simultaneously, I was advised that whoever had told me to write a letter of explanation excusing me from my court appearance "shouldn't have told you that." And that's all. End of story. No more rights. A telephone hearing with the DMV in Montpelier proved equally fruitless. The DMV does not actually consider evidence in these cases,

exculpatory or otherwise, but only serves in an administering capacity to collect whatever money is owed. If I want to, I may instigate a new appeal in Superior Court for a filing fee of $150. The original fine has now increased owing to penalties. A lawyer would cost me more money

What's an author to do? During my lively exchange of ideas with Judge Villa in District Court, she remarked that if I didn't like the traffic laws I could write a letter to the papers. I answered that I would do better than that, which is why you're reading this. Meantime, unless some lawyer in a white hat emerges before August 9 to take my case and prove a point, I will bow, in protest, to this corrupt system and the apparachiks who run it. I will still drive carefully on the roads. I will suffer the fingers and the cries of "Asshole!" confident in the knowledge that safety is the last thing on our patrolmen's minds, and that the least I can do, now and in the future, is try to drive them a little bit crazy.

didn't have to wait long. I must confess that until that day, I'd never paid that much attention to the man behind the steering wheel. I assumed he'd look much like I would if I lived out of my car with my dogs: disheveled. But

His message is not "Honk it you love Jesus." It's a combination of the banal next to the disturbingly profound. "Don't Trust Lust." "Chasing the Buck Sucks." when he walked up, I was confronted by a man whose more-salt-than-pepper hair was clean and cut just shy of his shoulders, whose beard was neatly trimmed, and who sported a white T-shirt bearing the slogan, "HE=MC 2 " on the back. I had a hard time deciding if he reminded me more of one of those SundaySchool portraits of Jesus or news photos of Charles Manson. We shook hands, and the smile with which he greeted me faded as soon as I told him what I was there for. He said he didn't do interviews. I figured he was being modest, or maybe surly, or just plain crazy. Then he told me how a

promulgating, Tex has decided to just let the truck do the talking for him. He flatly refuses to elaborate on any of the messages or mottoes stuck to it, much less where they come from. But if you spend a minute or two really looking at the Promulgator's truck, what starts out as an amusement becomes something more complex. His message is not "Honk if you love Jesus." It's a combination of the banal next to the disturbingly profound. "Don't Trust Lust." "Chasing the Buck Sucks." "Lend Me Your Eyes." One side of the truck displays the Ten Commandments; the other features two ofTex's own: "Thou shalt not mess around with the milk," and "Thou shalt not aid or abet abortions." Tex is not out to represent some established viewpoint; his convictions are his own. What political party would condemn both war and abortion and assert that "Love Always Wins?" When was the last time a major religion protested a war, rather than opt for the more palatable "prayer for the support of our human-interest bit. heroic troops?"

used to think bicycle riders in Burlington were real jerks. They don't stop for red lights or stop signs. They ride on sidewalks and terrorize pedestrians. They go the wrong way on oneway streets, and they make cars move over into the oncoming traffic. Besides, I always suspected that a large percentage of adult bicycle riders around town were on two wheels because they lost their drivers' licenses due to drunk-driving convictions. Then this spring I became the proud owner of a brand new Chicago Bicycle Company baby-boomer cruiser. Seven speeds, thick whitewall tires and a squeeze horn. I'm a 10-year-old again and the world is my oyster. I can cruise the city in freedom, taking all the shortcuts while rush-hour traffic limps along. With the wind in my hair, I ride where no automobile can travel — like gliding along the lakeside perimeter of Battery Park or shooting the Burlington bike path.

^ Besides benefiting from the physical exercise^ye noticed profound changes in my view of traffic and pedestrians. Unlike a year ago, I am now convinced automobiles are the greatest curse of civilization. They spew toxic gases and pollutants into the atmosphere while ferrying their occupants around town on meaningless tasks. Put someone — anyone — behind the wheel of a ton of steel on wheels and they turn into allpowerful angry beasts knighted by General Motors. They suddenly turn into Very Important People and think they own the damn road. There's no longer any doubt in my mind that car drivers are mean, nasty people who have no sense of humor and no regard for their fellow man — unless they also ride bikes. You can tell who they are right away, because the bike-riding car drivers stop at the cross walks to allow you passage. Such kindness does not go unnoticed. My non-polluting, health-inducing, marvelous two-wheeled machine is a work of science, art and efficiency. It doesn't require fuel from the decayed bodies of dinosaurs. It's sleek and handsome and can be parked anywhere. And I regularly beat the traffic going up North Street because I don't have to stop for the red lights when there's no cross-traffic. What am I supposed to do? Stand still on the pavement waiting

for the green while sucking fumes from belching auto exhaust pipes? As for stop signs: Look, stopping and starting is a real bitch if you're on two wheels. Besides, since bikes are moving much slower than cars, a bicyclist has plenty of time to see if someone's coming. And what's wrong with using the sidewalk if it's not packed with pedestrians? You'd have to be suicidal to pedal along South Winooski Avenue downtown. In the interest of reducing auto insurance premiums, I hop on the sidewalk. No big deal. A final word on the highly touted bike path. Can we agree that it is, in fact, a bike path? That's why it was built and that's why federal funds were available for its construction — so people on bicycles could use it. It's not a sidewalk, and it's not a Rollerblade trail. So tell me why we bicyclists have to put ourselves at risk for some damn skaters and overweight power-walkers? Let's have a little law and order here — why don't they get their own path? ®

SEVEN DAYS

Eventually I came into the outside world, and at one point had a friend whose family never had a car. They lived in a Midwestern city and always used public transit. No one in the family even knew how to drive. Anyway, we went to Mexico City together, and on this trip I learned a great method of public transit adventure travel: Jump on a bus, trolley or suburban train, ride it to the end of the line and find out what's there. On that trip we found a terrific public market, the last home of Leon Trotsky, and the undisputed greatest taco of my life. My husband and I have applied this method to our explorations in Montreal and, while the results aren't always so memorable, I can highly recommend taking the suburban train to Ste Anne de Bellevue on a summer afternoon. Ste Anne isn't exactly the end of the line, but it is the western end of the island of Montreal. At this point the island forms a narrows with the land to the west, and the narrows divides Lac des Deux-Montagnes from Lac St-Louis. At Ste Anne there's a lock for pleasure craft to move between the lakes, and every day dozens of sailboats, yachts and speedboats pass through it. It's great fun to watch the boats move in, the huge lock gates close, the water rush in and out, the gates crank open, and the boats move on. The lock is only wide enough for a single boat, so watching from either side places you in the middle of the action. You can see and

Cape Cod. A lovely park mixes shade and sun on a small island that forms one side of the lock — you actually walk across a small footbridge to access the tables and grassy areas to picnic. Bring your own; the town of Ste Anne has a few convenience stores, but as yet, no elegant delis. > This is a great place to take kids — the activity around the locks has that "big machine" appeal. The adults can enjoy a picnic, catch up on some reading or napping on the island-park while the kids watch the locks. Or, after everyone watches a few cycles of the locks, the family can find a nice lunch at one of the terrasse-restaurants.

fine place to slow down and unwind. If your kids are tired of being hauled around the city, what a change this is! Getting to Ste Anne de Bellevue from downtown Montreal is at least half the fun, especially for kids who don't have the chance to ride trains. It will take some planning and time discipline, however, because you'll be , using a commuter rail system with a limited weekend schedule. Trains leave from the Gare Windsor, which adjoins the new Molson Center just . south of Ren£ L£vesque. The main entrance to the station is at the corner of Rue de la Gaucheti£re and Rue de la Montagne (M^tro stop Lucien L'Allier on the orange line). If you make the trip on Saturday, you'll leave Gare Windsor at noon and arrive

at Ste Anne at 12:41. The return train leaves at 4:09 p.m. and arrives at Gare Windsor at 4:50. On Sunday you won't have as much time in Ste Anne. The train leaves Gare Windsor at 1:30 p.m., arriving Ste Anne at 2:11, and you'll have to catch the return train at 4:19 p.m. This worked for the two of us — we strolled the boardwalk, watched one cycle of the locks and had a nice lunch, but it would be pretty rushed if you had kids who wanted . to spend more time at the locks. The fare for the trip is two M^tro tickets per person one way, or approximately $5 per round trip. Buy your M^tro tickets at any stop in strips of six, called a lisibe. Buying the strip instead of one at a time saves 50 cents per ticket. If

you prefer to pay cash, it's $3.70 each way for adults and $2 for kids under 18. You give the cash or tickets directly to the conductor on the train. You can also take bicycles on all the suburban trains throughout the summer months. A special rack in the back of one railcar holds bikes for no additional charge. Wheels on wheels — what a great concept. Bon voyage! (Z) While the above K-

M a r i a l l s a

C a l t a

f you are like I am, you dislike reviews — of books, movies, whatever — in which the writer leads you through labyrinthine passages before telling you what he or she really thinks. So I'm starting my review of Fiddleheads restaurant in Montpelier by telling you straight out that, of the two entrees my husband and I ordered during a recent meal there, we loved one and hated the other. But the atmosphere and friendly service — plus the opinion of friends I trust — tip the balance in favor of the place. In short, I'd go there again. The place itself has a lot of charm: white Christmas lights, some entwined with strings of tiny white beads and faux dogwood blossoms create an inviting glow. "Curtains" of painted wood were done by Montpelier artist Heidi Broner, along with a painted "hat tree" on the wall. The attractive, columned bar was reputedly used on the set of The French Connection. In the summer, a few tables are set out on the sidewalk; we sat inside by the window, where I took secret pleasure in watching some of the outdoor diners smoke. Sinatra was on the sound system. We ordered a drink — beer for my husband, a glass of white wine for me —. and relaxed.

The menu was inviting. The list of appetizers started with several salads, vegetable tempura, crab cakes and coconut-battered shrimp. Sandwiches included a grilled eggplant, tomato and spinach combo ($5.95), a grilled chicken sandwich served with basil aioli (also $5.95) and a veggie sandwich ($4.75). I like the l act that in addition to regular main courses, Fiddleheads offers nearly a dozen "Light ntrees," all between $8 and $12, including several tofu dishes, stir-frys and pastas featuring Indian, Thai and Cajun lavors. The regular entries ($9 to $16, with a small salad) included a maple-roasted chicken, grilled salmon, barbecue pork ribs and sirloin steak with caramelized onions and blue cheese. The evening was looking good. * Almost immediately, however, things began to go slightly askew: My husband s generous appetizer of vegetable tempura

p a g e

arrived, but my crab cakes were nowhere in sight. We dug into the tempura, which was hot, wonderfully crisp, and not the least bit greasy. Still no crab cakes. Our waiter, a friendly if klutzy fellow (he dropped cutlery at regular intervals, and kept delivering other peoples' orders to our table), returned to note cheerfully that we had really inhaled the tempura. (Note to staff: Diners with less evolved senses of humor might not appreciate such observations about their appetites). Still no crab cakes. As it turned out, he hadn't heard the order. The crab cakes arrived, finally, with my entree, which turned out to be a good thing, as the main dish itself was almost

Our waiter, a friendly if klutzy fellow, returned to note cheerfully that we had really inhaled the tempura. inedible. But first, the good news: My husband's entree of blackened yellowfin tuna ($14.95) was excellent, well-seasoned, very crisp on the outside, and very "bleu" on the inside. (It looked too raw for my taste, but was actually delicious.) It was served with a nice, crunchy Asian slaw, seasoned with sesame oil and ginger and drizzled with a tangy, if superfluous, three-mustard sauce. My husband was a happy man. I, on the other hand, was not so cheerful as our waiter unloaded a dish of Thai coconut tofu with cilantro and lemon grass, served over rice noodles ($8.95). It was probably a dumb order, but it was the cilantro and lemongrass — two of my favorite flavors — that seduced me. I'm sorry to report that those flavors were pretty much absent from the dish, which was a soggy pile of overcooked snow peas limp and almost gray — carrots and other vegetables on a pile of mushy rice sticks. I filled myself instead on the errant crab cakes, which were flavorful. I thought, however, that the roasted red-pepper salsa tasted a little too much like piccalilly, a relish I'm not fond of. (My notes read: "weird salsa."). We did not opt for dessert, though the list included an appealing choice of marbled cheesecake, creme bruise, and

an ice cream sundae with a Calibaut chocolate sauce and maplewhipped cream (all $3.75). I feel compelled to note that we waited a long time for our bill, which included two addition errors (one in our favor, one not). I did stick around, however, to talk with the chef, Jason Bathgate, a lively, 25year-old Vermonter and 1993 graduate of the New England Culinary Institute. Bathgate got his start when he was 14, washing dishes at the nearby Thrush Tavern, but through NECI internships, went on to work at such tony joints as Chanticleer on Nantucket, and at Edson Hill and Ten Acres Lodge in Stowe. His heart, it turns out, is in classic French cooking, but he seems happy at this point in his career to pour his considerable energies into shaping the Fiddleheads menu. When the restaurant opened last August, Bathgate said, it had a fancier feel and a more expensive menu, but it

became clear that was not going to cut it in Montpelier, Out went the white tablecloths and in came the gaily colored linens under glass tabletops. In came a new roster of dishes which Bathgate describes as "eclectic ethnic peasant food with a Vermont twist" the latter being his use of local organic foods whenever possible. The most popular dishes, my experience notwithstanding,

have been those with Thai flavors, according to Bathgate. One of the problems with Fiddleheads, says owner Jane Edwards — who also owns the popular Julio's in Montpelier — is that "people perceive the space as doomed," because it has seen its share of tenants that lasted only a few months. My feeling is that a few more dishes like that blackened tuna could ensure a long and happy run. ®

o see Art at Unadilla Theater. I don't care if you saw the Tony Award-winning Broadway production. I don't care if you saw it last year at Unadilla, for that matter. This production is different. This summer, Unadilla reinvents this verbally brilliant and structurally pioneering comedy about friendship with a female ensemble. And it works, not by merely making a seamless transition from the all-male original cast, but by bringing a perspective that even playwright Yasmina Reza couldn't have envisioned. While doing justice to this great script, Unadilla's recasting also delivers an expos^ of gender difference. The results are fascinating. The story of Art is simple. Deceptively so. We meet three close friends on the day one of them buys an entirely white painting at an exorbitant price. Judgments fly, resentments are revealed, alliances are threatened, and the play's central question emerges: Can friendship survive when people change? Art became the darling of

lovers and families are secondary topics. They're brutally honest wits, unhesitant, confrontational, and never catty. One can't help but wonder: If this stellar comedy had originally called for a female cast, would any dramaturge have given it a second read?

PAPER TRAIL By M a r c

Awodev

wo particularly important dates can be recalled in papermaking history. In 751 AD angry Arabs in central Asia captured a few bewildered Chinese papermakers beyond the gates of Samarkand, and compelled them to disclose their secrets. Soon every world capital was full of the stuff that had once been dispensed only by Confucian bureaucrats. The other, happier date of note in the history of paper is November 29, 1883. This is the birthdate of Dard Hunter. Don't be embarrassed by asking the question, "Dard who?" Even Cecil "Straight Dope" Adams would have been hardpressed to answer before The Friends of Dard Hunter came

'Te Ipuringi,"

Lander

to town for their annual conference. Any of Hunter's "friends" — and there are hundreds around North America — will be pleased to tell you that Dard Hunter single-handedly pioneered the modern notion of handmade paper. The artistry ingrained in his paper was often superior to the artistry applied upon it. Though Dard Hunter died in 1966, the Ohioans fingerprints are, figuratively speaking, on every sheet of handmade paper crafted in the world today. When New Zealand waterJSP

page

colorist Mark Lander got fed up with the high cost of paint and fine paper in the South Pacific, he decided to experiment. As if possessed by the spirit of Dard, he discovered that a swimming pool full of pulverized New Zealand flax (his backyard was overrun by it) could produce almost five cubic feet of paper. His philosophy of "use what I've got around me" included a switch to locally found pigments as well. Soon local earths mixed with Elmer's Wood Glue supplanted Windsor-Newton as medium of choice, and Lander had dramatically decreased his cost of making art. The trade-off is that it's a little more difficult to create works on-site — such as the installation "Te Ipuringi" (Maori for: "the vessel that pours") currently hung in the

Fleming Museum's Marble Court. "Te Ipuringi" is a masterpiece of both papermaking and installation art. It demonstrates that the limits of paper art are only as narrow as the limits imposed by narrow practitioners. Any fellow who hauls New Zealand mud to northern Vermont is clearly not "a narrow practitioner" of his art, and Lander has created a translucent paper forest from floor to ceiling. Seven 20-foot lengths of his unique paper, a great paper carpet, and three broad canopies festoon the neoclassical museum space. As

LISTINGS

m a cold, white copy of Donatello's "St. George" looks down the grand staircase in consternation, "Te Ipuringi" is a rhythmic dance of earthtones and intriguing textures that establish a stage-set in which museum visitors can interact with the artist's distant world.

Any fellow who hauls New Zealand mud to northern Vermont is clearly not "a narrow practitioner" of his art. At the not-too-distant Rose Street Gallery, meanwhile, works of a few other friends of Dard are gathered into an elegant but more modest space in an exhibit sponsored by the Shelburne Craft School. "After the Passage," by Jo Stealey of Columbia, Missouri, seems more closely descended from Arts and Crafts Movement ceramicists than from paper god Dard Hunter. It appears to be a large thrown bowl with deep blue glazes and twig-like, brown brushstrokes that tumble around its surface. It is in fact formed from papers of cotton flax and reed. The wall piece, "Moon Valley," by Helen Goldberg of Hewlett, New York, contrasts aluminum and paper to compose a lilting, abstracted moonrise unified by unexpected, metallic colors. Her handmade paper is endowed with the patina of copper and turquoise, and she molded it into a textural quality akin to living bark. This sculptural concept of paper is entirely different than what most of us understand the compass of paper to enfold. "Moon Valley" and all of the art works at Rose Street are above all, about art. No manufactured paper can capture that vitality. (7) "Te

T I M E AND ' P L A C E ' The first pleasure in finding "Spirit of Place," an annual outdoor sculpture show in Huntington is exactly that: finding it. Down a rural road, then a lane through a field and into the woods, by the time you get there you're into the leisurely pace and open to what awaits you. Sited on a wonderful piece of land owned by Knox and Lucy Cummin, the 12 works included are primarily site-specific installations, from the first charming greeting — a half-dozen or so tiny "books" by Mary McCoy dangling on string from a tree — to a shrine-like arrangement of bamboo tubes in the woods by Kate Pond. The most jarring in this mix is a sort of alien encampment, a corral of bright blue plastic "tents," spray-painted with yellow letters and numbers d la elemental tables, by Dave Borawski and Gil Scullion. The most startling, from a distance, is Catherine Seidenberg's clay figure of a woman sunning herself— her cranium the repository for a bundle of flowing grasses. The wittiest is Bill Botzow's giant "wedge" made of dead leaves and jammed into the crevice of a double tree trunk. The most compelling visually are also the simplest, both by Jim Boorstein, involving trees wrapped by several parallel rows of videotape, in one, and fine blue sewing thread in another. The lengths dance and shimmer in the wind, the one resembling electricity, the other ultraviolet light trained to a most unusual orbit. Every discovery in this show comes with a lesson in careful observation, until each accident of leaf, stick and stone seems intentional. Find it before it is spirited away, August 8. — Pamela Polston

though, Zemeckis made it look like he'd been performing digital tricks all his life, and the thing that struck me most was the look and sound of the gunfire. Never had I seen cartridges sizzle through trees, over bushes and into the bodies of men with such palpably lethal weight, speed and heat. I remember thinking that someday some smartypants would make a whole movie like this. And, a mere four years later, here it is. The world media (i.e., talk shows, "Entertainment Tonight," and "Oprah") had already christened Saving Private Ryan "the most realistic movie about war ever made" and "one of the most important works in motion picture history." So, just three days after hitting the theaters, it's apparently too late to suggest an alternative possibility: That the latest from Steven Spielberg is a marvel of cinematic engineering that has more in common with Jurassic Park than Schindler's List. As everyone surely knows by now, the film stars Tom Hanks as a W W I I captain who survives the Normandy invasion only to receive orders to locate the last surviving son (Matt Damon) of an Iowa family after the soldier's three brothers are killed in combat. Under his command are Tom Sizemore, Ed Burns and Adam Goldberg, among

What Spielberg has said he wanted to do here was "put the audience in the middle" of the war zone, to create the illusion with his magic digital tricks of what it must be like to be pinned down by enemy fire, to have buildings blown to bits all around you, your best friend walking beside you one second and reduced to uniformed salsa the next. He has succeeded. Spielberg has built history's biggest, loudest, scariest ride — a rollercoaster of thunder, chaos and carnage. Jurassic Park offered audiences the titillation of surviving a brush with prehistoric monsters. This time the monsters are of our own era, but the essential function of the film is the same. It's a superelaborate, highly evolved arcade experience and it is, I am sad to say, the future. Someday soon movies won't even pretend to have plots or stories or characters as we have traditionally defined them. They'll just be great big $300 million virtualreality thrill rides. We'll strap ourselves into our theater seats, and what marvelous adventures we'll simulate together in the thunderous 3-D digital dark. The irony, of course, is just how culpable the most talented director in the history of popular film is likely to be for the extinction of his own art form.

Gibson and Dannyglover for what director Richard Donner promises will be the last installment in this lucrative but increasingly lame action-comedy series.

SMALL SOLDIERS (NR) Not

to mention small laughs, small thrills and small audiences. Everything I've read about this Toy Story rip-off (12-inch military action figures come to life and wreak havoc) suggests director Joe Dante should be sent to bed without his supper. MADELINE (NR) Frances McDormand and Hatty Jones star in this adaptation of Ludwig Bemelman's beloved children's book about a mischievous French schoolgirl. With Nigel Hawthorne.

SLIDING DOORS While most movies made by young first-time Gen-X directors don't even have one story, the feature debut from Peter Howitt has two: Gwyneth Paltrow plays alternate versions of the same British woman — one who leaves her two-timing boyfriend, and another who stays and spends her life with him. With John Lynch and JohffcHannah.

CITY OF ANGELS Add yet

Finally, I'm giving you a poetic license to splurge on the urge to merge — provided that you're fully prepared to follow through on all the juicy promises you squirt forth. CANCCR (June 21-July 22): I predict that some decision you make or action you take in the coming week will have long-term consequences for your relationship with boredom. I'm not exactly sure what the nature of this monumental move will be.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Hope you're in the mood for weird words of wisdom from that strange old sage Henry David Thoreau. He left behind some advice which would be quite useful to you during your flirtation with the quagmire. "When I would recreate myself," Thoreau mused, "I seek the darkest wood, the thickest and...most dismal swamp. I enter the swamp as a sacred place — a sanctum sanctorum. There is the strength, the marrow of nature." LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Betty Brooks, a reader from Oklahoma, wrote to inform me that she was my mom in a past life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When I lived in Santa Cruz, I had a friend named Barnaby who lived out at Last Chance Farm and sauntered into town on rare occasions. Combination shaman, village elder, and lunatic, he led me on fact-finding missions he called whirlygigs. "Steep yourself with the intention of attracting lessons you don't know you need," he'd say, and then we'd meander the streets at random, going places we'd never been and striking up conversations with strangers with whom we bad the least in common. Barnaby felt the whirlygig was an urban version of the walkabout, whichforaborigines is a time when they leave work and wander out into the bush to visitrelativesand commune with nature.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Romans had specific names for different kinds of kisses. The chaste one given in friendship, for instance, was called an osculum. The more ardent but still partly restrained locking of the lips was a basium. And the all-out spit-swap, complete with experimental tongue action, the suddenflushingof inhibitions, and amazing explosions of bliss, was termed the savium. I thought you should know these terms, Aquarius, since you're now passing from a basium phase into a full-on savium.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You've got to love the determination of "The XFiles"' David Duchovny to be irreverent towards his success. In the last episode of "The Larry Sanders Show" on HBO, the hunky heartthrob thoroughly messed with his sleek persona. In the throes of a crush on Larry, he put on nothing but a bathrobe and parodied the leg-spreading tease that Sharon Stone did during the interrogation scene of Basic Instinct.

ARICS (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): German actor Udo Kier, a specialist in playing villains, is swaggeringly enamored of his own silly nihilism. "Evil has no limit," he asserts with hackneyed pomposity. "Good has a limit. Its not as interesting." Most of thefilmmakersand journalists in the world seem to agree with him, and I may be in a minority in my belief that evil is a fucking bore. But how dare Mr. Kier or anyone proclaim that "good has a limit" when there are so few smart artists and thinkers who are brave enough to explore the frontiers of goodness? Which is where you come in, Aries. In the next few weeks, you'll have the opportunity to unleash a maelstrom of beauty and truth and justice and love everywhere you go.
