MORE ON WHY EUROPEANS RULED Lu n c h ♦

d in n e r

Just readyour response to PH. Arptbeck about why Europeans were able to dominate the world [June 18J. I was surprised that you didn't comment on Armbefk's incorrect allegation that Europeans were cave dwellers (more or less) when Arabs, under Islamic reign, were astounding philosophers and scientists. Islam didn’t begin spreading until around 600 AD. This was long after the Greek and Roman civilizations flourished (well, maybe not so long after Rome). True, the Middle Ages weren’t the highlight of Western civilization, but it ivasfar from a complete slide back to the Stone Age, as Armbeck suggests. As for Islamic science and philoso phy, a lot o f it was based on Greek and Roman works that the Arabs dis covered, translated, and researched. — Arnold Wright Blan, Sugar Hill, Georgia; similarly from many others

PET CARE SERVICE

As far as European dominance goes, you’re best off reading Guns, Germs and Steel, by Jared Diamond. [Paul M.J Kennedy’s points on the subject [in The Rise and Fall o f the Great Powers, which Cecil cited] are rather weak: (1) Political and military pluralism. The Orient is a misleading example, since everybody thinks of China and forgets about Korea, Japan, Vietnam, etc. Also, most other regions (e.g., Africa) were politically diverse. (2) Intellectual liberty. At what point in time? The Middle East was much more open than Europefor most ofhistory. And why did the Chinese invent everything? (3) The climate and terrain were extremely varied. Compared to where? Africa? North and South America?... AU in all Kennedy’s arguments sound more like a shillfor Adam Smith than a well-thought-out theory of what happened — Tom Bitterman, via the Internet

See what I get for cutting Armbeck some slack? I will never be a nice guy again. As for Diamond’s book, I’ll confess I hadn’t read it. Sounds like none of the folks who urged it on me read it, either. Diamond and Kennedy address two related but distinct questions. Diamond asks why Eurasia and North Africa dominated the world; he mainly con siders developments from prehistory through 1500 AD. Kennedy asks why Europeans specifically, out of all the Eurasian societies, dominat ed; he mostly looks at things from ^500 on. The answers they come up with are similar — they both blame environmental factors — and insofar as they address European dominance, their answers are pretty much the same. Diamond says the Americas, Australia, sub-Saharan Africa, and other non-Eurasian regions had several major deficiencies: (1) a lack of animals and plants suitable for domestication (the New WorlSrfbr example, had no horses or other draft animals until Europeans arrived); (2) geographic isolation, which prevented the fruitful exchange of technology, goods, and ideas between cultures, e.g., the alphabetic writing that spread through much of Eurasia; and (3) fewer people than Eurasia, and thus fewer inventors and inventions, fewer competing societies, etc. Finally, the New World and to some extent other non-Eurasian cultures lacked exposure (and thus immunity) to the germs carried by domesticated animals, which were the source of some of Europe’s deadliest diseases. Cumulative result: in the long run Eurasians were the rulers, non-Eurasians the ruled.

In contrast, no state dominated plu ralistic Europe, and isolationism usually wasn’t an option. The need to compete drove advances in technology.

too low. The point is that environmental conditions in Europe favored pluralism, which in turn led to the ftjpid diffusion of technology'and eventually world dominance. Sorry if Kennedy’s faith in pluralism sounds too much like Adam Smith for your taste, Tom, but it’s hardly a belief in which he’s alone. ~...I ... . ............. .... ...

THE NEWS GAME

Last Friday The Burlington Free Press scooped S the world! Under the front-page bylines of reporters Debbie Salomon and Adam Lisberg, 5? the Freeps reported that the name of the :! deceased mother of Madeleine Kunin, the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland, appeared on the list provided by Swiss banks of 1872 i non-Swiss holders of bank I accounts that have been dormant since the end of World War II. Amazing story. Amazing, too, is 1 how the Freeps’ local competition handled it. | The news business is all J about information, right? Informing the public on the goings-on in the world near and | far. But there is a dark side. For those of you who may be naive about the workings of the press, realize one thing — it’s a s very competitive business. Too often, ego and pride rule the roost, 1 to the detriment of the fundamental mission of the Fourth Estate: * informing the populace. The ^ hottest competition in Burlap is I between the Freeps and WCAXTV, the station with the hourlong nightly news. The Kunin story went national and international very 1 quickly. The next morning it was 1 on the front page in The New York Times, The Washington Post and many other papers coast-to-coast and around the world. But guess how W GOP... sorry, WCAX handled it? Okay, so maybe it wasn’t the lead story. It p was Althea Kroger’s day, after all. And sure, the horse show in Waitsheld is a big deal. And its not every day a car slams through the wall of a McDonald s in New Hampshire. And we are on 1 the border, so the new Canadian tourism cam paign is pretty important stuff And hey, Vermonters want to know about the two 15year-old girls from the Big Apple who ran off to Florida with a 19-year-old from Pittsford they ®met on the Internet. First things First. | So when did “Vermont’s Own,” as they call themselves, report the story involving the former Vermont governor? How about 40 minutes into the broadcast, right after Sharon Meyer, weatherwoman extra ordinaire, told us about the potential for some patchy fog overnight. The Kunin story didn’t even get a mention on the 11 o’clock news, what with Cosby, 8 Cunanan and the Internet Romeo from Pittsford I elbowing it out of the way. Important news Vermonters need to know. At first,' Marselis Parsons, the news director at WCAX, defended the placement, noting he “couldn’t get any independent confirmation” of the story. Mr. Parsons sounded a little steamed | that the Ambassador to Switzerland had not returned Ch. 3’s telephone call Friday. But after cooling down, he candidly admitted to Inside J Track that the Kunin story “is not going to get as big a play as it would if we developed it alone.” 1 Meaning, if Ch. 3 had it first it would have led the news. Since the enemy got it first, it was buried behind the patchy fog. That placement may comfort the WCAX news ego, but is it any 8 way to run a news operation? Parsons, the son of a foreign service officer, | told Inside Track he meant no disrespect to Madeleine or to Debbie Salomon, one of his I “favorite” reporters at the Freeps. (He didn’t mention Mr. Lisberg.) He conceded the Kunin story did deserve higher placement.

WWWOW ■K/XIW! cwww*

-- **

. Recently Inside Track reported on the cozy i relationship between Ch. 3 and the Rutland Herald. Parsons called the Herald the best news- j paper in Vermont. On Saturday morning, “the best newspaper in Vermont” reported-the Kunin story at the top of its front page. Unlike WCAX, the Rutland paper put its readers first and its ego second with a story that was a day behind the Freeps.. I But WCAX is not alone. WPTZ-TV, which bills itself as “The Champlain Valley’s Leading News Station,” § didn’t mention the story at all. Not a 1peep. News Director g 1 n Stewart Ledbetter tells Inside ™ W Track the six o’clock news that ® night was “two-and-a-half min- ft utes heavy.” Mr. Ledbetter says, 1 “it was an interesting story, but haven’t most of our viewers heard it already” (on radio or in the Freeps)? * WVNY-TV, the local ABC | affiliate, was the only one that got it right. Getting beat by the Freeps didn’t keep the story off their six o’clock news. In fact, it made the top news block. And they followed up on it Monday with a clip from Kunin’s live appearance on “Good Morning ' ^ America” that day. By the way, what goes around comes around. Freddie Greer, brother of convicted drug smug gler Billy Greer, dialed up WKDR’s “The Mark Johnson « Show” Tuesday to complain that 1 neither Ch. 3 nor the Freeps have reported on the juror misconduct in Vermont’s biggest drug trial in history that you read about here last week. The Rutlatid Herald reported on “Jurorgate” in the Sunday paper. And the beat goes on. Who are we kidding, folks? More Media Notes — WVNY-TV, Ch. 22 (4 on § cable), has a new reporter on the beat. Mike Yaffe is from Jamaica Plain. He’s got a masters in broadcast journalism from Boston University, and his TV credentials include work for New England Cable News and the Boston Red Sox. | Like the rest of the news staff at WVNY, he’s signed a contract that includes a non-competitive clause. That means no jumping ship to the other I news operations in the market. News Director John Cavazos tells Inside Track he got tired of training reporters for Marselis Parsons and Stewart Ledbetter. “I can’t blame him,” said Parsons. The bummer of the week arrived on the doorstep with Saturday’s Burlington Free Press. Good Golly Ms. Molly Walsh signed off as a weekly columnist after five years of stellar service. * Says she wants to concentrate on news reporting. ; Yours truly’s been a regular fan. In fact, several Molly Walsh columns are posted at the Freyne fj ranch, including the ones on Club Fantasy (“Sleaze, no matter how you slice it”), the col* umn on breasts (“Mammary mania grips the nation”), and, of course, the column that includ- | ed “Molly’s Rules.” My favorite was Rule 3: “Is j he cooked yet?” As Molly sees it, “In a sense, men are like cakes. Until they are baked there is no point ; in trying to take them out of the oven. Amen. Saturdays just won’t be the same without Molly’s column. Also joining the missing is Jennifer Carroll, the paper’s executive editor since 1994. She’s taking the managing editor post at Gannetts unionbusting Detroit News. The Michigan native told the Detroit News she grew up having a huge admiration for the paper. “That was always the paper that hit our doorstep every morning.” Martian talk. The folks at strike headquarters in Detroit called Inside Track to gleefully point out the Detroit News didn’t become a morning paper until 1990. Jennifer’s 39 years old. Go figure. (7)

Even “on-air personalities” are joining the team, coached by longtime radio guy Paul Battaini, former gen eral manager of Q99. Lana Wilder is giving up early mornings in the deejay dugout with “Corm & the Coach” to sell cars. “It was a good opportunity, and I wasn’t making enough in radio,” she says. WTZN and The Point have both lost top salespeople to the dealership, which works on salary, not commission. Now if they could just lose that silly jingle for something more Leonard Cohen-like. “First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.”

SEVEN DAYS

IN BRIEF: Mexican creation myths are not exactly family enter tainment, but no one expected blood-curdling screams from an early-morning rehearsal at the Burlington Waterfront. “It is a very bloody show,’ Sam Kerson says about the Oaxaca-based allegory directed by Argentinian Norman Briski. Kerson’s Dragon Dance Theater will perform the watery work Friday night at the Burlington Latino Festival. It teams up with Mexican puppeteers over the weekend to perform a larger ver sion of the work at Bread and Puppet. . . Public access may pay off yet for Yolanda, the drag queen sidekick who hosts alongside Cherie Tartt. O ut of the blue, she, er he, surfaced in Billboard magazine last week in a column headlined “Carmen and Yolanda: Newcomers with Talent to Burn.” The writer went on to wax poetic about “fresh young talent” and savoring “the musical fruits o f an artist you are convinced is destined for greatness.” Whoa. We like “Control Queen,” too, but “warm and uplifting?” Yolanda, for one, is not complaining. He switched his act from serious folk to lighthearted drag when he moved from New York to Burlington. “I am very serious about my voice, and my music, but I have a better sense of humor about it now” . . . When he is not writing art reviews for Seven Days, or distributing minia ture books of guerrilla poet ry, Marc Awodey is hanging, and hanging out, at the new improved Rhombus Gallery. The Web site design firm semi-subsidizes 800 square feet of exhibi tion space below its offices on College Street. Awodey, who describes himself as an enlightened despot,” is curating the room, where he says “mature artists can put up a coherent exhi bition.-” He is also programming poetry reading and films screenings. Look for Kurosawa instead of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. ®

fans out there went to see the Big Apple Circus this past week at the Shelburne Museum. Your loss. Little did you know that some of the finest musicians in the country compose and play for the small one-ringer; several have played with world-famous artists — James Brown, Bruce Springsteen and Art Blakey among them. One is now director of the “Saturday Night Live” band; another plays for Conan O ’Brien. The sad news is, Sunday was the band’s last gig. Composer/keyboardist Linda Hudes and her hus band, conductor-trumpeter Rik Albani, report that, beginning with next season’s show, a new artistic director will be asking for Yanni-type synth stuff, thank you very much. Hired away from Montreal’s Cirque du Soleil, Guy Caron told the 18-year veterans o f BAC that he didn’t much care for their “music or band or instrumen tation” — a unique blend of Hudes’ original composi tions and quintessential American music from Duke Ellington to Little Richard. Since next year is the 20th anniversary o f the Big Apple Circus, Hudes says, Caron offered her the option of composing for that special occasion, but only accord ing to his direction. “My job would be to not ask ques tions and do as I was told,” says Hudes, adding that “the reason we’d had such success at BAC is because we had such autonomy.” Indeed, for nearly two decades Hudes’ training in classical music and composition and Albanis in rock and jazz has resulted in a perfect, dynamic aural backdrop to the little circus that could — which winds up every season in Shelburne. “The circus gave us the

opportunity to do our thing there,” says Hudes. “We were very happy to play 350 shows a year with our origi nal music — that is, three-quarters original, with American roots music from New Orleans jazz to Stravinsky. ” Though both Hudes and Albahi try not to sound bit ter, their disappointment comes through — and their concern that synthsizer-based compositions will bring the BAC one step closer to homogenization. “I think what we did musically was very valuable,” sayd Hudes, “coming from heart and soul. I think what Rik and 1 did at BAC was so ahead of its time. Lincoln Center’s pro gram this fall is Ellington, Stravinsky and [Wynton] Marsalis. We’ve been doing Ellington, Stravinsky and Hudes for 18 years.” No less astute critics than Marvin Hamlisch and Springsteen have told them they’re “doing everything right.” But what marks a loss for the circus is a gain for rhe world outside it. Both musicians — who got their start at venues as diverse as C.B.G.B’s and high-brow acade mies — can’t wait to get on to their next projects. The first is likely to be a compilation CD of Hudes’ original compositions for the BAC. “I guess you could say I’m running away from the circus to join the real world,” she says. “Back to my production company called Power and Glory. We’ll compose for all venues: films, dance, com mercial work; for companies that need music for enter tainment. And we’ll take our band and keep playing.”

AIR BORNE W IZN earned some prestigious nominations in radioland this month: Billboard, magazine and Airplay Monitor named Mike Luoma one o f the five top music directors o f the year, in “mainstream rock, small market.”

Continued, from page 8 In the same category, morning-show jokers “Corm & the Coach” shared a bid for local air personality of the year. At the Wizard’s sister station, The Buzz, young music director Steve Picard was nominated in the modern rock category; his collegue Stephanie Hindley got a nod for pro gram director. “The major market is the top 15 [urban areas], medium goes up to 25, and 26 up to 200 is small,” Luoma explains. Hence the Burlington mar ket falls in the same competitive camp as cities like Austin (which cleaned up last year), Spokane and Oklahoma City.

newspaper was a tip-off: Buck & the Blackcats are looking for a new bassist.

FEST FEST I squeezed the whole summer into one day last Saturday with a triple-header: the 2nd Annual Bluegrass Festival at Mad River Glen, the Hardwick Fiddlers

Contest, and Another Roadside Attraction in Highgate. Mostly, of course, I did.a lot of drivihg around, soaking up the heat and the green, green grass of home. Though the first two events bore some similarity — both, at least, -had fiddle players — the first stood out for its breathtaking setting as much as the music. Got to the Fiddle Contest — in the field still flattened by the Reggae Fest — just in time to see three wee players of the junior division, cute as buttons and pretty good fiddlers, too. Highgate, o f course, was another story. Much bigger but not too big as touring festivals go; a little fratty around the edges, but civilized; the longest lines for Magic H at and the Port-o-Lets (coincidence?). Favorites? Always a subjective call, but Los Lobos, Wilco arid Ashley Maclsaac are mine. Kudos to the organizers of all three events — and to the weather gods — for providing a great day of music. But next year, can we not have them all on the same day?

SINGLE TRACKS VPR’s folk DJ Robert Resnik will be broadcasting live from the Champlain Valley Folk Festival this Friday from 6:30-9:30 or so — “a lot of music and a minimum of chat,” he says. Resnik is particularly excited about Dick Gaughan, the Scot (and original member of Boys o f the Lough) who lost his voice for a decade but happily got it back... ViperHouse, recently listed among Musician magazine’s Best Unsigned Bands, made such an impression at the O ttaw a Jazz Festival that they were invited back as headliners next year. The band’s releasing a live CD from the concert in an attempt to recoup the loss of several instru ments, stolen from the van. Even in Canada... ®

(Sudden Shame Records, CD & LP) — Follow a direct line from The Velvet Underground, steer it through Palace Brothers and Cowboy Junkies, throw ing a little psychedelia, a little yee-haw along the way, and you’ll arrive at Burlington’s Guppyboy. The band known for its narcotically slow, dreamy; oddball songs offers more of the same on its latest, Jeffersonville, recorded on eight-track over the last two years by the band and “Pistol Stamen” of The Pants. It also offers some pleasant sonic details that are absent or hard to hear in live shows. You might think this outfit was from New York, what with picturesque songs like “Washington Square,” “7th Avenue” and “Avalon Ballroom.” Except for a nod to Jonathan Richman, all songs are credited collectively to Guppyboy; vocal duties and instru mentation are shared, too. Michael Barrett, Jeff Baron, Sasha Bell, Chris Ziter and Zach Ward are a most democratic bunch. Nine guests are acknowledged on this recording, too — David Kamm’s banjo and Nelson Caldwell’s cello are particularly nice touches. Some of the song writing here recalls the solo work of John Lennon in his depressed period — and I mean this in a good way. The slow-poke pacing can be either wearying or soothing, depending on your mood, but Jeffersonvdle also hands out silly bon-bons like “Holiday,” countrified toe-tappers like “Trouble,” and memorable folk-pop gems like “New Orleans.” Always cult-faves, Guppyboy reach a level of near-apotheosis with •Jeffersonville, but it’s a Pyrrhic victory: With various members going in different directions, this may well be Guppyboy’s swan song. Catch them before they get away, at Toast this Friday with The Pants and Steve.

Bv Amv Rubin fter 11 summers spent delivering hard-edged, contemporary plays to Vermont, Atlantic Theater Company is once again raising local eyebrows. But this time, the shocker isn’t Mamet dia logue. It’s the fact that this young off-Broadway troupe is trying its hand at Noel Coward. This marriage of a cutting-edge company and a half-century-old comedy of manners is nothing short of the surprise of the season. Why the switch? Is another producer bending to popular taste in order to survive? Artistic Director Neil Pepe says the decision to “sink our teeth into something we’d never done” was an artistic one. Whether an economic necessity or a chance to creatively stretch, Atlantic’s Blithe Spirit is a promising start in a new direction. This play’s appeal is in the verbal wit of upper-crust, sophisticated newlyweds Ruth and Charles, who mistakenly summon the spirit of his exwife during a seemingly fake seance. In Atlantic’s production, director David Pittu wisely attempts a fast-paced, physical show for us action-oriented 90s viewers. After all, we’re hardly the audience Coward targeted; a mid-century bunch content to simply listen to clever banter — so clever that a play like Blithe Spirit was forgiven its

thin plot. But in his effort to sell this problematic piece to the mass es, Pittu takes it a bit too far. The result is a pair of leading actors — the skilled Laurie Williams and Jordan Lage — whose characters are lost in an attempt to deliver lines as fast ^as possible. This breakneck approach works best as action builds, when both talents exhibit an exquisite knack for physical comedy. At plays end, however, we’ve yet to get a sense of who these people are, or how they feel about each other. This hysterical pitch, thank fully, doesn’t extend to the sup B1i th e S p i r i t , by Noel C o w a r d , p e r f o r me d by A t l a n t i <: T h e a t e r Compan y , di r e c t e d by Davi d P i t t u . Contois Auditorium. Bur l i n g t o n . J u l y 30- A u g u s t 3. porting cast. Kate Blumberg, as the mischievous, sensuous spirit Elvira, is a paced, detailed breath of life. Charles Tuthill presents the skeptical Dr. Bradman with a charmingly poised playfulness. And the icing on the cake is the com manding Dale Soules as the melodramatic Madame Arcati. Soules boldly explores this cari catured psychics nuances and

tops it all off with delightfully funny physical touches. Here is an actor whose risk-taking pays off in spades. Jessica Buckmaster capably delivers the over-eager servant Edith; Mary McCann as Mrs. Bradman finds her character’s naive nature, yet seems to struggle in the effort. Detailed props from Alex Pearl enrich this production’s simple set, nicely placing us among the idle wealthy of preWWII England. Steven Hawley’s costumes not only support Coward’s characteriza tions, but add sensuality to the privileged and comedy to the have-nots. (Witness the plod ding maid’s clunky shoes and Madame Arcati’s ever-changing array of exotic accoutrements.) Technical director Michael Lounsbery and lighting design er Tyler Micoleau lend just the right level of wizardry, subtly believable when establishing time of day or weather condi tions, and appropriately selfconscious when displaying supernatural activity. In all, Atlantic Theater’s Blithe Spirit is a pleasant evening’s entertainment, but not the polished fare one would expect from this professional troupe — though it is billed as a “workshop” production. And, as evidence of a company test ing its mettle, the effort is laud able, funny, and a privilege to watch. ®

paths, open fields and outcrops of black shale formed hundreds of millions of years ago from mud and silt, some of which the waves have since eroded into small rounded pebbles to form beaches. In many ways, though, Burton Island 150 years ago was hardly different than the rest of Vermont — much of it was cleared for farming. In 1840, C.C. Burton purchased what was then known as Potter’s Island and used it for pasture land. In ensuing years the island pro duced beans, corn, cows, sheep and poultry for the markets in St. Albans. Years ago a farmer could walk cows to the island along a shallow reef from the point at St. Albans Bay. But nowadays there’s a chan nel cut into the reef for boat traffic. Early in the 1950s, a Randall Dimon bought the island, appar ently with an idea to subdi vide and develop the place. His grand scheme fell apart, however, when plans to build a causeway to the island ran into trouble. Dimon ended Katrina and Gene Giard. Gene’s up selling his island to the state of Vermont in 1961 for the tidy been park ranger since 1980, and Katrina, a former park nat sum of $40,000. Since then, the state added uralist, is the park attendant. 17 tent sites, 26 lean-to sites, She’ll fix you up with a nice 15 boat moorings and a 100campsite or a canoe and give slip marina.

Burton is one of three island parks in the “Inland Sea” — that section of lake between St. Albans City and North Hero. Sometimes, especially in late May or early June, you can practically have any one of them to yourself. Woods Island and Knight Island offer the most privacy — nothing but trees, fields and shoreline. No toilets. No marinas. No cars. Not even regular ferry service.

t’s a Tuesday night and the ball fields behind the Williston Community School are filling up with cleated adults running after an over sized orb floating high over head. But rather than the usual slow-pitch softball popped up to the outfield, it’s the sight of a spinning disc that inspires this gathering of 40 to 50 peo ple. No, it’s not another Roswell incident; it’s a new co ed league of Ultimate Frisbee players. As the players sign in for the evening, a few requisite canines strain at their leashes on the sidelines, but Dead tunes and pot smoke are totally in absentia. This crowd is a col lection of athletic-looking, Frisbee-toting yuppies ready to get their ya-yas out after a day at the office. “Lawyers, lawyers, lawyers like to play Ultimate,” a new arrival jokes with Bob Katims, one of the many attorneys pre sent and the principal organizer of the new league. They — a? well as the less argumentatively inclined — may be attracted to the fact that Ultimate is played without a judge, and that play ers resolve their own on-field disputes. The utopian concept of selfrefereeing, and the game’s ideal

istic name, contribute to Ultimate’s image as a way to pass time rather than the ath letic pastime that it is. But with over 25 years of organized play — including competition at the international and inter-col legiate level — the sport seems poised to join the mainstream. “A lot of people have heard of Ultimate,” says Bryan Mihok of the Green Mountain Disc Association. “Far fewer really know what it’s all about.” For a burgeoning number of local players, Ultimate is all about good times and good exercise. Engendering the con stant movement of soccer and the passing skills of football, regulation games are played with seven players to a side, passing the Frisbee back and forth in an attempt to score a point — not a touchdown — by completing a pass in the opposing team’s endzone. Despite its free-form ten- . dencies, experienced Ultimate players often employ complex defensive strategies and welldefined offensive roles similar to other sports. “For a sport it tends to be somewhat alterna tive,” Mihok asserts, “but only in the way cricket or rugby is.” For Kirstyn Leuner, a nationally ranked amateur ten nis player at Middlebury College, Ultimate is both an alternative and a nice change

from the line judges and indi vidualism of tennis. Turned on to the sport by a Middlebury classmate this past winter, Leuner joined the new league with little experience beyond playing “Flippy Flyers” as a kid. “I didn’t even know Ultimate existed until this year,” she says. “It’s such a discovery.” Burlington’s first co-ed league was established to attract players like Leuner and infuse new blood into the local Ultimate scene. Over the years,. the area has fielded both men’s and women’s club teams, and a regular pick-up game open to players of either sex is played in Richmond on Fridays. “The response has been incredible,” says Katims. “We’ve had nearly 80 people sign up or express interest.” As a member of Double Helix, one of the six teams that plays weekly in the new league, Leuner’s found a match for her athletic and social genes. “It’s really attractive because you can come and... just want to throw around, or you can come and go balls-out for hours. And you can play co-ed, which is not something I get to do in com petitive tennis.” While size provides the same advantage in catching and passing Frisbees as it does with footballs, a no-contact rule and the need for overall athleticism

allows men and women to compete on the same Ultimate field. And, as Leuner observes, the new league has combined more than just genders. “I come here and the age range is huge,” says the college junior. “There’s people who look like they’re as old as my grandfather, and there are others who are younger than me, people who are incredible.” Although the players are mostly twenty- and thirtysomethings, one person stands out as the lone “grandfather” figure in the crowd: 62-year-old Roy Campbell. The North Ferrisburgh artist picked up Ultimate four years ago in Santa Fe. “I’ve played competi tive volleyball, and everybody’s got a uniform and it’s much more official and you’re always turning your ankle; [and] in basketball you’re getting elbowed,” he notes, taking a break after throwing for a goal. “Here there’s no contact, you never have to worry about get ting hurt.” Ultimate’s peace-loving nature is partly born out of a guiding principle dubbed “the Spirit of the Game,” which places mutual respect, fair play

and a cer tain joie de Frisbee above beating an opponent. For Camp bell, a sculptor and woodworker, the joy of the game is also embod ied in the aesthetics of a Frisbee in flight. “It has a certain ele gance to it, you can do some thing with it,” he says. “I hope to play another 20 years; Roy’s my idol,” says 18year Ultimate veteran Mark Green, who with the addition of the new league now plays Ultimate four times a week. “I stopped playing football because I kept cracking ribs,” he adds. “People were always hitting me — even in touch football. In this game there are collisions, but the object is to avoid them, to play fair, to real ly go with the spirit.” 0 The Green Mountain Disc Association will host an Ultimate Frisbee Tournament in Burlington August 2 & 3, 11 a^m. and 5 p.m., at the UVM playing fields adjacent to Gutterson Field House. People interested in joining Burlington’s co-ed summer league are encour aged to attend. Call 863-4275 for more information.

nance vehicles), you’re more likely to hear the rattling snore of a northern leopard frog or the ethereal, descending, flute like “wheeer... wheeer.... wheeer” of a veery. I bump into an old news paper colleague, Nancy Crowe, who has brought a group of kids from the Green Mountain Waldorf School in Wolcott for a few days of camping, learning and explor ing. The kids offer me leftover s’mores, do an encore perfor mance of their skit about — well, I’m not exactly sure what it was about, but it was fun to watch — and tell me all the neat stuff they’ve learned from the park naturalist, Rowena Brown. Nancy and one of her col leagues from the school agree the island has a mystique — it’s remote and you need a ferry to get there. And in a place so small, with a threemile shoreline, there’s no chance the kids will wander off and get lost in deep woods. “We can let them go any where they want because it’s such a safe island,” Crowe says. “You couldn’t do that in another state park.” You also can’t ride a regular

h e r e

ferry to any other state park. The Haendel runs every two hours or so. “We have a schedule, but it’s not a pressure schedule like the airlines,” says Captain Clem Thompson, a tanned guy with a buzz cut who’s always managed to find work — he owned a dive shop and helped restore the Ticonderoga — close to the lake he loves. Thompson ferries school groups, retired couples, fami' lies or anyone who wants to escape for a while. “We just get them away from what they’re used to — the suburbia atmosphere,” Thompson says. Even Franklin County dairy farmers have a refuge in Burton Island. They can milk in the morning, hop a ferry to the island for the day and take the last one back at 6 p.m. for evening milking and chores. Katrina Giard, the park, attendant, says that besides the beauty of the island itself, it’s the visitors who make her job so great. “It’s such a friendly place,” she says. “We’ve really enjoyed the people we’ve met over the years... People who were little kids when they came here first . are now coming with their own little kids.” ®

Welcome to the version ot our game inwhich youget to catch uponyour read ing. While you're savoring the paragraphs below, keep aneye open torthe titles of 10 motion pictures which we've woven into the literature... My little brother Michael had behavioral problems as a teenager, and one of the annoy ing things the pest used to do was pelt the rest ol us with junk food. His favorites were Man bars. He liked to freeze those things and then fastball them at our heads. Well, one fine day my girlfriend was visiting. Suddenly we hear this otherworldly scream, and the next thing we know he launches one of his Mars attacks. Dear God, he scared the living daylights out of Emma. The thing is, she had kind of a hair-trigger temper, and that set it off. Michael's first strike was his only strike that day, because Emma chased him up to his room, locked the door and did lord knows what to that kid. All I can tell you is it sounded like somebody'd jammed half a dozen cats info a blender and hit the button for puree. Michael never threw another Mars bar. And 10 years later to the day, the two of them were married.

to kill a hostage every 30 m inutes pow er until the im prisoned leader of his r m ovem ent is released. I Ford meanwhile has managed to sneak off, an d spends m ost o f the movie skulking in the shadows, . picking off the bad guys one by one h la Bruce Willis in an early Die Hard, only better dressed. I won- * der w hat it says about our culture th at Presidents have begun to show up (as in Independence Day) as action heroes in big-screen confrontations. Post W atergate irony? Deep-seated national yearning? A slackening o f standards at the Screenwriters Guild? £ As with Das Boot, the real star o f the show is the vessel containing the dram a. But where the West G erm an directors earlier film m ade palpable the sunless claustrophobia o f a W W II boat crew, his lat- ^ 1 est is a brightly lit celebration o f technology. O nce again, dozens o f characters are locked in a metal tube under life-threatening circumstances. T his time, though, the ship is photographed adoringly, every glistening am enity savored by the camera. Indeed, the sheer luxuriousness o f the plane is a bonafide subplot. So m uch so that the picture’s hum an com ponents take a back seat, giving m ore or less standard H ollywood com ic-book performances and defusing any sense o f terror in the process. W here Das Boot made ns m indful o f lives lived an d lost under conditions capable o f making any one snap, Air Force One offers a snappy but mindless rollercoaster ride. Jurgen Prochnow, who gave ^ the great starring performance as the U -boat’s com m ander, turns up here, too, throw n a bone by his ^ old Friend. In the two hours o f the movie he does n o t utter a single line. ; 1
