The extra time allowed police to spot the heist and call for rein forcements, who killed the rob bers in a shoot-out. • Vincenzo Esposito, who fled Italy two years ago after a court sentenced him to six years in jail for aggravated robbery, was captured this June when he tried to return to Italy. W hen authorities asked w hy he had returned and taken a chance o f being captured, Esposito told them he had “missed the pizza.”

The teen ager said he learned two things from his experiment: irradiated fruit flies do not reproduce easily, and students “should not take part in research com petitions.” ♦ Suffolk, Virginia, high school student David Merrell finished

within a foot o f the hole.

Recycling Sp ir it After 4800 tires that Denzil Poling was using as planters for his vegetable garden in Cearfoss, Maryland, were destroyed when they caught fire, he blamed the Maryland Department o f the Environment for issuing him a permit to keep the old tires on his property in the first place. “I’m a good salesman,” he explained, indicating he thought using the tires would be good for the environment, “and I sold the state a very bad idea.” ♦ Triumph International Japan Ltd. announced it has devel oped a process to make lingerie from plastic soft-drink bottles. A typical bra-and-panty set m ade from three and a half used 1.5-liter polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles costs about $55. A Triumph spokesperson explained that the com pany “came up with the idea o f recycling PET bottles to make lingerie because the diffi culty o f recycling them had become a matter o f concern in society.” ®

PE R M A N E N T RICHARD? W hen I think o f the best things about my old hom e o f Burlington, one o f the things I think o f is Richard “The Clarinet Man” Haupt. I think o f Richard himself, who showed that much can come from hard work and faith in oneself. I think fondly o f the com m unity which allowed for a place where Richard could pursue his musical dreams against great odds. Although he once played for an audience o f over 7 5 ,0 0 0 (how many other musicians can say the same?), Richard did not “achieve” success. Rather, he defined it in his own terms. In doing so, he was an inspira tion to me and, I am sure, many others. Richard Haupt was a dedi cated musician and a coura geous person. Burlington will miss, but, I hope, never forget him. A statue or some other substantial memorial on Church Street is in order. — Mark Madigan Rochester, NY

C IT IZ E N PAIN In regards to “Jurorgate” [Inside Track, July 23], by Peter Freyne, I would certainly like to say that I have personally met Mark Kaplan, Bob Kalina, Mark Keller, Brad Stetler and Martin Maley as well as “Wavy Davy” Kirby. As a patriot and student o f the C onstitution I attended much o f the 10-week trial held this spring. The defense attorneys were wonderful, and to those o f us cit izens that came day after day to learn first-hand how our constitution works, they smiled, shook our hand and briefly chatted with people like myself who sincerely wanted to learn how it works. I came to know His H onor Judge Sessions through this trial. W hen His Honor had his heart attack I sent a get-well card to the hospital to let him know that I really respected

him and wished him a speedy recovery. At Billy Greer’s dismal bail hearing, His Honor men tioned that he didn’t read our cards! Hold the train! I’m insulted and confused and even angry. I only mentioned that is where I had come to know him so my card wouldn’t seem as if it was just from a name which he wouldn’t know. I didn’t in any way say something like “free the defendants.” It hurts to know my kind thought was taken in an awful light. It is scary to think o f His Honor having an attitude about me, a patriot, or worse, an awful attitude which he can’t hide towards Billy or the others. H ow can this trial ever be rectified? David Kirby tried to corner me at the elevators once during a break. “W ho are you here for?” he asked. “Are you and your family related to one o f the co-defendants?” I wanted to reply “I’m a patriot, and it’s my duty to be here to watch you.” “I love the Constitution, and I’m going to make sure you don’t use it for toilet paper.” But I walked away — silently. W hen Peter Freyne says “eight weeks after the verdict and still smokin’!” he’s right on. As only Peter Freyne can be. — Ellen Raymond Starksboro T H IN K LOCALLY? Hurray for Seven Days for pointing out that ' “local” is not always “better” (“Chain Reaction,” July 23). I have always found Chassman & Bern a pretentious and unfriendly place but shopped there because it was local. However, recently I called to locate a book and was told, “We don’t have anything like that in stock.” N o apology, no effort to help me find it. I called Barnes & Noble and got incredibly friendly service from someone who located a selection o f books from Books in Print and ordered one o f them for me. Will the “local” bookstore still be my first stop? Probably. But it’s a shame my values prevent me from shopping at the store which should have earned my patronage. Romancing the Vine, however, will be sorely missed — a perfect example o f a local business which provided friendly, expert service. — Francesca Cannan Burlington

Janet and my assistantlitde Ed exchanged a few notes about this. We tried to explain that the U.S. tolerates dual citizenship but doesn't officially recognize it. Janet found this policy unacceptably ambiguous and blamed us for allowing it to persist. You’ve probably met people like this. Anyway, we went back and confirmed the following: (1) Cecil was of course right. People with dual citizenship ai t encour aged but not required to choose one over the other on reaching adult hood. Troubled by this, Janet? Deal with it. (2) Serving in another country’s armed forces is not in itself illegal. You can’t aid the enemy, o f course, but what with the fall o f commu nism and all, “enemies” is such an outmoded concept- A bo^you ganfcH serve as a commissioned or noncommissioned officer^ ' ,< (3) If you’re a dual citizen o f the U.S. and Israel and you gpt an Israeli draft notice, your choices are either to serve or tp renounce your Israeli citizenship. In the event that an Isracli/Americah attepapts to weasel out of her obligations, U.S. policy is to explain the above and go, “Poor baby.” , ; ~ Another thing. I said you had to leave the country to renounce your citizenship, which is true. However, you might be able to get . back in. Here’s the story from Jose Diaz o f Puerto Rico: * “A number of our more radical separatists have inidated a move ment to renounce U.S. citizenship. So for there’s no stampede, but we have learned you can renounce citizenship formally and stay within the system, as in the case o f [separatist leader] Juan Mari Bras. How? Simple. (1) Travel to a country with which the U.S. has liberal entry/exit policies, i.e., where all that is needed to entef/erit i$ a birth certificate. (2) Renounce citizenship in the U.S. embassy there. 0 } Do not indicate what citizenship you’ll be acquiring. (4) Get back to U.S. soil with your birth certificate. (5) Wait for the state department to issue your certificate of Joss o f nationality without noticing you did not truly emigrate anywhere. (6) Have a local court rule that you have an underlying ‘natural’ nationality that entitles you to live on U.S. soil without being a citizen. “This is obviously the tricky part. Essentially what the local court said was, Puerto Ricans became U.S, citizens in 1917, but U.S. rule over Puerto Rico started in 1899, so for 18 years the Puerto Rican people existed as noncitizen U.S. subjects’ or ‘nationals.’ This colo nial nationality,’ as it were, wafneyer formally repealed when U.S. cit izenship was extended to us; therefore Mr. Mari Bras, in renouncing his citizenship, reverts to the condition of a noncitizen living under U.S. rule.

VPR'S DARK SECRET

described himself as “blessed with a wife who stayed with me and two kids who are supportive and loving.” He added that it was “important” that he was arrested 10 years ago and went through the sex offender program. VPR’s attorney, Mark Oettinger o f Burlington, told Inside Track Tuesday morning it has been “VPR’s policy to inform incoming people about Fred’s background. Our view is, he’s paid his debt to society.” Oettinger also told Inside Track that he anticipated “VPR would reach an amicable resolu tion with Amy Barnett by Tuesday afternoon.” He said a confidentiality agreement that would be part o f the settlement would prevent him from dis cussing specifics. End o f story? Radio Ratings — Advance rat ings from the soon-to-be-out Arbitron book are making the rounds in radio land. For all lis teners 12 years old and up, W OKO is back on top with a 17.7 share, taking the title from ■ ■ ■ W IZN, which got a 14.4 share and WEZF which has a solid I 12.2 market share. But once you drop the teenage audience, the Wizard retains its number-one standing. VPR doesn’t get includ ed in the Arbitron survey. Said one radio wiz, “If you add up the numbers and see what’s left, you realize VPR is kicking butt with the biggest audience around.” Dynam ic D uo — U V M ’s legendary political pundit, Political Science Professor Garrison Nelson, isn’t spending much time on the UVM Green these days. Garrison, a nationally recog nized expert on the U.S. Congress, has taken an I unpaid leave o f absence from Groovy-UV. He’s been teaching in the Boston area at BU, Northeastern and U. Mass/Boston. Come January he’s got a great course lined up at Brandeis. He’ll be “coach and caddy” for Ann Richards, the sharp-tongued former Democratic governor o f Texas. Garrison’s not sure yet what the curriculum will be, but he tells Inside Track the pair won’t exactly remind people o f Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. “More like D ick Daley and Lana Turner,” quips the professor. Election ’98 — Already two Democrats — one well-known to the electorate, the other some thing o f a political newcomer — are actively seeking the nomination for secretary o f state, though nothing’s “official” just yet. Rep. Steve Howard o f Rutland, the Democratic Party chair man, is eyeing the post as a key political stepping stone in his career. L’il Stevie Wonder is featured in the current issue o f The Advocate, “The National Gay And Lesbian News magazine,” as one o f “The Best and Brightest Under 30.” He’s currently working as a political consultant for the Democratic candidate for mayor o f Newton, Massachusetts. And Thursday he’s off to the Big Apple to tape PBS’ “The Charlie Rose Show,” where he’ll be a guest along with Chastity Bono, who was also dubbed one o f “the best and brightest” by The Advocate. Standing squarely in his career path is Montpelier attorney Debbie Markowitz. Debbie’s served the last seven years as director o f the Vermont League o f Cities and Towns municipal law center. She says Steve Howard will be a “formidable opponent.” L’il Stevie says Markowitz sure has “an awful lot o f ambition to run for a major statewide office without having been on the ballot before.” Ambition is one subject L’il Stevie is an expert on. (Z)

For years its been the dark secret that Vermont Public Radio has never wanted broad cast — that one o f the most prominent members o f the station’s management team is a convicted | sex offender who once preyed on underage boys in the central Vermont community o f Randolph. The case o f Fred H ill, former owner o f a ®Randolph-based advertising/ public relations firm, never went to trial. (He’s no relation to State Rep. Fred Hill o f M ilton, who I passed away this week, or Fred Hill the photographer, who works at the Fletcher Free | Library and is a regular writer o f | letters-to-the-editor). Arrested in | 1986, Mr. Hill copped a plea to two felonies in 1987. He served * two-and-a half years behind bars and went through the | Corrections Department’s sex | offender program. Upon his release, he moved to Chittenden J County and was hired in 1989 by VPR as the station’s market ing and development director. He is on parole until 2007. The standard operating proI cedure at VPR has been for prospective new hires to be told in frank terms o f the felon on the | premises. In the last leg o f the hiring process, Hill or another | manager would come clean and inform the prospective VPR • employee o f Mr. Hill’s criminal record. They’d be told he did time in jail and received treatment | and is now all better. “Is that a problem?” the | prospective VPR employee would be asked. Imagine the scene. You think you just got hired at VPR — Vermont’s premier radio opera®tion — but there’s one more hurdle. Out o f the I blue, a station executive starts telling you sordid | things about his sexual past you really don’t | want to know. He wants to know if you have a problem with it? Blushing and embarrassed, afraid o f losing your brand new new job, you -swallow hard and say, “no problem.” But this week VPR is in a jam because one ! employee, who was hired without going through the Fred Hill confessional, has obtained legal . counsel and is making a claim for damages. Amy Barnett was hired at VPR in 1996, accord ing to station manager Mark Vogelzang, to head up traffic and operations. Unlike other employ|e e s , however, she was not informed o f M r Hill’s criminal record. W hile arguing that it was mere ly an “informal policy” to inform prospective employees about H ill’s criminal past, Vogelzang conceded, “In this case it was an oversight.” VPR board chairman Susan Crampton told Inside Track she was not informed o f Hill’s back ground when she first joined the VPR board, but was told by Hill himself when she was appointed to head up the capital campaign five years ago. S Crampton, a former state transportation secretary, described Hill as “a valued employee. He’s been | convicted o f a crime and we’re aware o f it ... I We’ve never kept it a secret,” she said. According to Vogelzang, it has been at Hill’s insistence that prospective employees have been 1 regularly informed o f his pedophile past. “It’s healthy for m e,” Hill told Inside Track. “It’s part o f the training I had in the sex offender I program. It’s important to have people I work with know about my background,” he added. “It I has to do with relapse prevention and with being | honest about yourself and your feelings.” Hill | said he regrets for his “family’s sake and for the | families o f any victims still living in the state,” that his past is going to be “so public again.” He M I I M iH H iiH I I H ia S lillH M B iB ilttM lia iiH M K S K S H iB M

BOOK EM: N othing like a good conspiracy to get Charlotte D ennett and Gerard Colby writing like mad. The St. Albans authors spent 18 years, and 950 pages, nailing Nelson Rockefeller in Thy W ill Be Done. Next on the hit list? HarperCollins. The two took issue with their publisher when they were told their book would be "out o f stock indefinitely.” “We had to prove that there was a guaranteed market for our book before HarperCollins would do another printing,” Dennett wrote in a recent press release. W ith a series o f radio shows, the dynamic duo generated enough orders to prove to the publisher there was a reason to reprint. “It was an exhausting experience,” according to Dennett. Makes the writing part look easy . . . Looking for a kinder, gentler publisher? M ike D e Santo and Renee Reiner may be just what the muses ordered. The owners o f the Book Rack are not just book sellers. They formed a publishing company that will specialize in Vermont authors. Although the company has already put out a book o f local poet ry, its first work o f fiction is forthcoming next spring — a col lection o f short stories about Burlington from University o f - . ... Vermont prof Philip Baruth. “W e are taking this very seriously,” D e Santo says. Sounds like a hardcover.

IN A FOOD MOOD: “It was a case o f two groups having the same great idea at the same time, and neither party wanted to back dow n,” event coordinator Todd Warner says o f the culi nary coincidence that gave Vermont not one, but two, food fests last month. A similar food fight may be brewing over two eating events this fall at Shelburne Farms. The Vermont Land Trust has brought its “Taste Vermont” event from Manchester to Shelburne Farms, two weeks before the Fine W ine and Food Festival benefit for the Flynn Theatre. A minor change in the liquor laws may account for the proliferation o f food fests, according to Andrea Rogers o f the Flynn. “There is always a limit to how many things this area can sustain.” Cin cin. . . . Location, location, location. That's what inspired the chefowner o f Pauline's on Shelburne Road to buy Leunig's O ld World Cafe in downtown Burlington. By next week, Robert Fuller will be running the popular restaurant blessed with favor able feng shut on the corner o f Church and College streets. He plans to maintain the Mediterranean flavor, with a few more Spanish and Moroccan dishes. A stretch o f enclosed Sweetwaters-style seating is also in the works.

host an outdoor art project next year that puts artists out to pas ture. Burlington collector Pat Parsons is the curatorial force behind the “Hay Project” — a summer-long celebration o f the working landscape that involves artists, farmers, environmental ists and business people. Several hayfields at Shelburne Farms will serve as galleries for ag art, specifically grass-based sculp tures. Ursula von Rydingsvard will be working in one field — the W hitney recommended her. The art professors at the University o f Vermont will fashion a mowed maze in another grass gallery. “The point is to call attention to fields — our love o f them and our need o f them ,” Parsons says o f the project, which was somewhat inspired by the outdoor art site visible from the N ew York Thruway. Numerous other galleries — like the Exquisite Corpse in Burlington — are already planning related organic exhibits. Hay, why not?

JUST A STAGE:

Bill Blachly played a major part last Sunday in the arts section o f The Boston Globe, which ran a feature on his out-of-the-way summer theater in East Calais. N o urban writer can resist the “10 miles on a dirt road” thing. And Richard Morin is right: “O nce most people find Unadilla Theatre, they keep com ing back, even if it means braving washed-out sections o f dirt road and the occasional cow crossing at one o f the farms up the road” . . . Big bucks from the Lila Wallace Readers Digest Fund will help build audiences in three “rural” areas within driving distance o f the Flynn. T he theater is getting $355,000 over a three-year period to collaborate with arts organizers in Montpelier, St. Albans and Vergennes. “After 23 years without a theater, Vergennes is faced not only with rejuvenating the space, but rejuvenating interest in the arts,” Vergennes Opera director Gerianne Smart says o f the project, which brings world-class artists like jazz trumpeter Lester Bowie and m onologuist D anny H och into the com m unity ci la Bill T. Jones. Says Smart, “It's a gazillion-win situation.” ®

letters the questionable loans her enigmaticTiusband has made, as well as his disorga nized and often dysfunctional ;tyle o f operations. In an August 1995 letter to Tetzlaff, Hensel described in detail just how Hunter practices law in rural Vermont. He does n’t keep office hours; in fact, 80 percent o f his business, wrote Hensel, is composed o f “home visits,” since many clients don’t even have telephones. “W hen I first started dating W ill,” she wrote, “it quickly became apparent to me that he was more a social worker or pastoral counselor than a lawyer.” Back to the movie: The

after an agonizingly long inves tigation by the U.S. Attorney, W ill Hunter is indicted by the grand jury on 10 counts o f mail fraud and one count o f bank ruptcy fraud. On July 14, he enters 11 pleas o f “not guilty." The indictment charges Hunter with moving money around between client accounts in amounts up to $20,000. He’s accused o f ille gally using the U.S mail “to execute the scheme and artifice” o f using money from clients’ trust accounts to make loans to other clients. Several o f the loans involved Sargent, the busted drug dealer. According to the indictment, one $19,000

Sargent was an investment in the drug trade. But regardless o f the final outcome, W ill Hunter isn’t the same man he was two years ago. One thing this calamity has forced him to do is take drugs — specifically, one legal drug that has radically changed his behavior. Over falafel sandwiches at a Church Street restaurant last week, Hunter freely discussed with Seven Days his mental handicap and his life-altering medication. In addition to a well-earned reputation as a lawyer with a heart o f gold who never turns away a client in crisis, Hunter has an equally deserved reputa-

The Professional Conduct Board, the panel that polices Vermont lawyers, recently sus pended Hunter’s license for three years, a ruling he’s appealed to the Vermont Supreme Court. “N o matter how much I told m yself I needed to do these things,” said Hunter, “it wasn’t doing any good. So I wanted to explore if there was some sub conscious desire I had to have people be mad at m e.”

t’s a true story. The home raided on that June night in 1995 was that o f attor ney Will Hunter, 43, and April Hensel, 44. Twenty years earlier Hunter was elected to the first o f three terms in the Vermont House and later represented W indsor C ounty in the state senate. He and Hensel were married five years ago — his first, her second. They have three kids, includ ing two from her previ ous marriage. Hensel is the envi ronmental coordinator for District 2, which stretches from the Massachusetts border up to W indsor and east to Weston and Peru. She’s served on the local school board four years, the last two as chair. And she did not take the intrusion o f the DEA into her home lightly. ' Hensel quickly became a "■ ... very outspoken advocate for her husband’s innocence after that nocturnal raid. Over the last two years she’s conducted a fullcourt-press letter-writing cam paign. O n her mailing list have been government officials from members o f Congress to U.S;A A Attorney General Janet Reno. And she sent a series o f letters directly to Charles Tetzlaff, the s U.S. Attorney for the District o f Vermont.

that’s the stage name o f one Michael Green — just got a promotion as an account exec for Frontier Communications. But he’s a lot more excited about his new band, The M ighty M isfits, per forming at J.P’s Pub in Burlington this Friday — among his bandmates is guitarist/studio guy Dan Archer. But guitarist/keyboardist /vocalist Lee has an even bigger reason to smile: New York’s Mojo Son, two o f whose members play with Sheryl Crow, are releasing as a single his song, “Crowded in My Soul,” which he describes as a “very bizarre mix o f Pearl Jam meets Stevie Wonder meets Jimi Hendrix. Lee returned to the U.S. five years ago — to be near his daughter in Shelburne — after a couple decades in Great Britain, where he rocked with the likes o f Graham Bond and Alexis Korner. Lee credits them for co-founding the British r&b revolution, and for introducing the other M ick to Keith. In his 20 years without a day job, Lee performed with T he M oody Blues, Joe Cocker, Billy Ocean, Taj Mahal and more. Since coming to Vermont, he’s sat in with some o f Burlington’s illuminati: Big Joe Burrell, Jim Branca, Kip Meaker, Martin Guigui. Though not sure what turns his musical career will take now, Lee’s delighted to Misfit in.

TRAVEL By G a i l

Rosenberg

n artist from Paris, France, on vacation in Canada, stopped by an Orange Julep shop outside Montreal and asked the man ager if he could paint the domed building to resemble a giant hamburger. The manag er, John Teixeira, thought the concept colorful enough to call the shop’s owner — his broth er — who gave the artist the go-ahead. Now, from a mile away on Route 132 West in Saint-Constant, you can spot a giant burger in the sky. It’s even better up close, where a double patty with lettuce and tomatoes, topped by a golden sesame bun, sits atop an other wise ordinary square building. As an avid fan o f roadside architecture and commercial signs, I find this sight reason enough to travel to Montreal. My route from Burlington, however, is an indirect one, through Swanton, Alburg, Rouses Point and SaintConstant, and is dubbed “the Tacky Route to Montreal” by friends who question my taste. These same people nonetheless indulge me with books about roadside attractions, and post cards o f the World’s Largest Mr. Peanut, 1950s car-wash signs and restaurants shaped like teapots.

v ;j\T If you’re a tackophile like me, you’ll find the meandering 100-m ile trek from Burlington to Montreal offers an irre sistible array o f visual delights. Begin by traveling 1-89 north to the Swanton exit. Take a left from the exit ramp onto Route 7 8 W into Swanton. This marks the start o f 30 miles o f country roads before getting onto Canada’s Route 15. I find my sense o f place traveling through towns with peeling Victorian frame hous es, mobile homes with wooden swans decorating the yard, snowmobiles set aside for win ter, propane tanks, big satellite dishes, laundry drying on front porches, and community halls with lawn signs promot ing bingo, Friday night dances or chicken barbeques. These details offer glimpses o f the people who choose to live here. W hile you’re still in Swanton, note The Big Scoop shop’s sandwich-board sign shaped like an ice cream cone. Pass the Tasty Treats Bakery & Deli and the VFW hall till you reach the stop sign. Turn right, but not before taking in the appealing hand-made sign for the children’s store at the cor ner o f D epot and South River (Route 78): “Scamper’s. A Kid’s Store. W ith a Smile from D oor to Door. You Can Afford It.” Around the bend you’ll spot the North Country Bait

and Tackle shop, with the first o f a series o f signs along this route advertising fresh cashews for $3.99. Then look for the maroon 30 x 40-foot H om e o f M&J Jerky. In this small plant, over 50,000 pounds o f beef jerky are cooked and packaged each year for distribution in state. Jim Honsinger, the owner’s son, reveals that dur ing the busy summer season 240 pounds o f beef are cooked twice a day, three times a week. Heading north, with the Lamoille River on your right, turn left just before the Missisquoi Preserve into Gram’s Gift Shoppe for “Lawn Ornaments, Collectibles, Gifts and D olls.” The shop was closed the last time my com panion and I went by, but my consolation was a cigarette lighter disguised as a poodle in the window. Outside, a clay Virgin Mary ornament stands guard over a fallen 2-foot wooden windmill. Right outside Alburg you’ll see a herd o f the distinctive and shaggy Scottish Highlan der cattle, and also my person al favorites, Dutch Belted cows. These resemble Oreos, or ice cream sandwiches: Their heads and shoulders and rear ends are black or dark brown; their centers are pure white. Alburg itself is extremely visitor-friendly, and som eone’s tips

O n the cor ner is a house w ith a blackand-white sign that looks like it might mark a dentists office, except it says “W orms.” Its companion in signage is a hand-written posting on the corner tree, directing you down the street to Graces Barber Shop, which still has one o f those charming antique barber poles on the front porch. The prices de resistance o f the block, however, are the lawn ornaments at the W estons.

Lovers o f the classic musi cals will find much to enjoy in the St. Mike's production — not least, o f course, the vocalists themselves, each o f whom comes bearing long lists o f national credentials. Jimmy Spadola and Michael Brien Watson are the Mutt and Jeff o f the cast; both the short, spunky Spadola and rangy Watson are as agile as Fred Astaire. Actual dancing is minimal, but it's easy to imagine each o f these fellows holding their own in a foxtrotf Spadola possesses a fine, strong voice with excellent projection, and is the more magnetic thespian o f the two men; Watson's forte is the sort o f sensitive, leading-man ballad that shows off a good vibrato. Beverly Butrie, Pauline Frommer and Deborah Jean Templin comprise the distaff crew, a ladylike blond, self-pos sessed brunette and sassy red head, respectively. The women work well together, and both Frommer and Templin can command the stage alone or with a male partner. Butrie is more reserved and delicate, but her soaring soprano hits its stride with a serious, recital-like solo. O f the three, Templin seems most versatile as both actress and singer; her warm voice slides from smoky alto to a higher register with ease, and she's got the kind o f no-holdsbarred personality to let it rip a la Ethel Merman. James L. Peterson is back for his 16th consecutive year as set and lighting designer. For Grand Night he has created a broad, tiered "plaza" covered with flooring resembling stonework, and tall tree shapes silhouetted against a blue back drop — its shade changes with the lighting to day or night, with stars.

he idea o f running o ff to join the circus is an old cliche by now, and in fact probably not that many kids actually dream o f the big-top when there are plenty o f super heroes, rock heroes and antiheroes in com petition. But just about any kid who gets a few tricks up his or her sleeve, cir cus-style, is a fan — if not per former — for life. Vermont’s Rob Mermin has proved it. And his recently published book tells the tale. His own decade-long career in both European and American circuses was a spring board for Circus Smirkus, the high-energy outfit Mermin founded in the Northeast Kingdom in 1987. Circus Smirkus, the book, is not one single narrative tale but, like a circus itself, many o f i' pieced together. It r~ introduction by I Marceau.

away and join the circus, with out having to run away from hom e.” Rural Vermont, he thought, was just the place. Mermin credits thenCatam ount Arts director Jay Craven with sharing the vision enough to bring the fledgling circus under its administrative wing for a couple o f years. And he took on as ringmaster D on n y Osman, then director o f the Governor’s Institute on the Arts and founder o f Two-Penny Theater.

Take the exit for Route 15N and Aut. Decarie, or simply head towards Mirabel Airport. Watch for a giant orange in the distance, framed by the Golden Arches o f the neighboring M cDonald’s. As a Vermonter opposed to billboards, this is blasphemous, but I have to admit the two giant Budweiser advertisements on this road —

one shaped and strung like a guitar and the other like a boom box, dials and all — are masterpieces o f signboard art. And at the Orange Julep stand, where you can place your order through an opening in the orange peel, I feel like I’m in a Roald Dahl book.

O n your way home, you may wish to cross Champlain Bridge and head towards 1-89 South, where along the way you’ll pass a giant statue o f a man holding a tray o f CocaCola. Or, if you’re like me, you’ll return via the same route you took earlier and stop at the Weston’s, where you’ll customorder M & M lawn ornaments in all the colors. (7)

cabinetmakers mimicking mahogany for customers unable or unwilling to pay for the hard wood version, while using mahogany for those who could. Until a few years ago, little was known about early Vermont furniture, and almost nothing was documented. The Alleys have been instrumental in focus ing attention on the field. They provided the major funding for a 1994 Shelburne Museum publi cation, Vermont Cabinetmakers & Chairmakers Before 1855: A Checklist, by Charles Robinson,

hen it comes to antique furniture, Vermont has always been a stylistic melting pot. Early cabi netmakers from around New England moved in and out o f the narrow state, bringing with them distinctive styles which they often adapted for the local market. Some Vermonters apprenticed elsewhere; others worked from drawings. The resulting furniture designs and construction features were nothing short o f hybrids. Collector Trish Alley affection ately refers to Vermont antique furniture as a "near miss" o f urban styles, at the same time she praises its "fairly sophisticated crafts manship." Trish and Bill Alley, proprietors o f Mabel Wilson Fine Antiques & Americana in Morrisville, are among a small group o f collectors o f 18th- and 19th-century Vermont furniture. Their search for pieces in superi or condition is guided by a num ber o f rules. "If we have to apol ogize for it," Alley recites rule number one, "we don't buy it." Their particular interest is in Vermont folk and paint-decorat ed furniture, once assumed to be made by less-skilled craftspeople. But recent curatorial attention has connoisseurs reconsidering the expert construction o f many o f these painted pieces. Early Vermont cabinetmakers typically used indigenous woods — yel low birch, cherry, white pine and birdseye maple— then painted them to resemble hardwoods used in urban high-style furni ture. There are records o f skilled

documenting over 900 furnituremakers who lived and worked in the Green Mountains. The Alleys loaned exceptional pieces from their private collection to the Bennington Museum for its recent traveling exhibition, "The Best the Country Affords: Vermont Furniture 1765-1850." And, in collaboration with Country Living magazine, they set up a special display at this year’s antique show at the Shelburne Museum. "We want to share some o f our discoveries of Vermont furni ture and the best o f Vermont cabinetmaking with our neigh bors," says Trish Alley, "and encourage them to learn more about the pieces in their homes as well as those preserved for them in their museums and his-

torical societies." Singling out a mid-18th-century high chest o f drawers, she points out details that indicate the cabinetmaker was not trained in an urban shop. For one, the backboards are not carefully crafted. "They wouldn't be seen; the cabinetmaker figured, 'why bother?"' Also, unlike urban high-style chests that would have a decorative bead on the drawer edges, the Alley example has "scribe" marks instead. Says Alley, "Either the Vermont crafts man did not have the right tools, the time or the skills needed." There were other labor- and cost-saving practices employed in Vermont, such as "banding" only along the top and the base of pieces rather than continuing around the sides.

Neverthless, some Vermont-made antique furniture has fetched five-figure prices, mosdy from out-of-state collec tors. The price range varies wild ly depending on condition, style and rarity. The Alleys and other Vermont furniture collectors tend to have differing tastes, observes Trish, so they'll call each other when they run across a piece they think the others may want. As each acquires new fur niture, she adds, "It's even more fun to go to their homes for din ner." That's in keeping with the Vermont melting-pot tradition. ®

$1200 for the Shriners Hospital in Boston. Despite an infatuation with the fiction, Grey and other single-action shooters say the opportunity to take a stroll back to the m id-1800s has made them students o f the past. "More people died from influenza than from bad guys," he notes, adding with a touch o f irony that his literary namesake was a dentist in N ew York. "The West was about fam ilies and pulling it together," says "Boston Lady," one o f six posse leaders famous for her quick draw and big smile. Like many o f the women who comprise nearly a quarter o f the shooters, the Cohasset,

give it their best shot sy — actually a retired family farm in Marshfield — and the first thing you'll notice is the old oak tree adorned with there haven’t been any hangings under the tree, just a few weddings, says owner "Calico Catamount," aka Linda Duke. "Usually they stand behind the groom with a shotgun at his back," explains Duke — a Vermont version o f Miss Kitty Russell and hostess for the Verdant Mountain Vigilantes' summer shootout, one o f three such events held throughout the year in the state. "They either get married or they get hung," she jokes o f the Vigilantes' brand o f shotgun weddings. Later in the day, in fact, one "Onery Oats" will consider his options before tying a real-world knot with "Omber Rose." The remainder o f the 140 participants — two-thirds o f them from out-of-state — are engaged in a far different enterprise: a Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) competition, or "cowboy shoot," as they're com m only called. "It's like playing Dungeons and Dragons with cowboys," Duke says o f the combination dress-up and target-shooting affairs. Cowboy shoots are esti mated to be the fastest-grow ing firearm sport in the coun try — more than 15,000 nationwide members attend events, including about 110 Vermonters. The triggerhappy events have found the bull's-eye in Vermont, where it's legal to wear your sidearms — unloaded, o f course — out to dinner. At the "Circle D," Duke and her

Taking their cue from national SASS head honcho "Judge Roy Bean" and his W ild Bunch, the Verdant Mountain Vigilantes spend as much time dreaming up alias es and shopping for period costumes as they do sighting down the barrels o f their guns. At a shoot, exchanging one's real-world persona for one from the Old West seems to be at least half the attrac tion. "I don’t even know what most o f these people do or what their real names are," says Zaney. "They’re just good pards." Part o f the "good," in fact, is fundraising for a different charity at the July event year; this weekend the Western wannabes

THEY SHOOT

Continued from page 23 "You'll very rarely see a sport where one guy will come up to another and say, 'Nice outfit,"’ says "Midnight Rider," looking more like the Marlboro Man than the busi nessman he is. Although SASS events are carefully regulated for safety, as with all sports there's an occa sional injury. As "Big Jake" (Jacob) Roy o f Monkton tells

it, Circle D's sole fluke acci dent occurred when his father was spectating and a piece o f lead splatter ricocheted o ff the target and into his gut. "He was bleeding away," recalls the Norwich cadet with a silver Texas Ranger badge on his breast. "So we brought him up to the house and gave him a Band-Aid and a quick shot o f Jack Daniels." The older Roy soon recov ered from the flesh wound, but now, as a competitor him self, he still receives his share

o f flak. "That’s why we call him 'Blackjack Daniels,'" says Big Jake, whose own alias comes from a John Wayne movie. W hen the sun sets behind the hills and Onery and Omber have retired to their honeym oon suite, it’s not hard to imagine that the original Big Jake isn't looking down at the Circle D from that big campfire in the sky, and giving the Verdant M ountain Vigilantes a silent nod o f approval. ®

briskly directed by pianist Paul Ascenzo. Peterson's staging is simple and effective, leaving details to the imagination. In this Readers Digest approach to musical history, it would be helpful to have some markers along the way, specifi cally an indication o f which musical each song is from. A Grand N ight fo r Singing simply strings all the songs together, w ith no narrative, and no pro gram notes to help out the lessfamiliar in the audience. The overall sanguine effect o f the production, on the other hand, is a gentle reminder that music's truest place is, indeed, in the heart. Side By Side addresses the potential disruption o f explana tions by weaving them seam lessly into the show, as an emcee normally w ould between acts.

In the past two years H unters launched a second publication, the monthly Vermont Lawyer, which pub lishes opinions from the Superior, District and Family

C o n tin u e d fro n t p age 7 : these behaviors.” She explained to Seven Days that “everybody’s had the bad end and the good end o f W ill Hunter — the trusting, caring side and the always late and can’t always get things done side.” O ne o f the most glaring examples o f Hunter’s mental state is the fact that he simply forgot to bill the court admin istrator’s office for three years’ worth o f about 100 subscrip tions o f Vermont Law Week, a biweekly newletter he publishes that tracks the rulings o f the Vermont Supreme Court. The publication is sent to every judge, law clerk and court clerk in the Green M ountains. The bill came to almost $20,000. “I knew when I met h im ,” said Hensel, “he had a mission in life, and it had nothing to do with making money.”

Four hours later in the early morning light, the seven fed eral agents hop into their vehicles and depart. They take with them all the lawyer’s computers and related equip ment and records, lust another night’s work in the War on Drugs in the backwa ter hills of Vermont.

he insights W ill Hunter’s gained since entering ther apy have been eye-open ing. W hile growing up, he explained, he simply never learned the basic skills o f time management and com pleting tasks that m ost eight-year-olds can grasp. “I never was able to learn,” he said he now realizes, “and so I’ve had a horrendous problem with deadlines and lateness.” Vermont Law Week would rarely come out on time, he said. “People used to laugh because it didn’t com e out according to any predictable schedule.” Today it does.

d 'o g s la r

Hunter said his medication is decidedly making a difference. Where once he’d fill a schedule with appointments that could never be squeezed in, now “a little voice goes o ff”

courts as well as news items o f interest to members o f the legal profession. Both publications are highly regarded by attor neys.

in his head, he said, question ing whether everything will, in fact, fit in. Desipramine, he said, helps him comprehend how long appointments will

actually take. W hile W ill'H unters mental state has improved, his troubles with the government have only deepened. A press release issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office July 8 stated, “if convicted on all charges, Hunter faces 55 years in jail, a $2,750,000 fine and three years o f supervised release.” That statement, said Hunter, was something o f an exaggeration. Since he has no criminal record, he said, under federal sentencing guidelines he would in reality be facing just two years behind bars. Following his arraignment he discharged his attorney, Peter Hall o f Rutland, a former government prosecutor. Presently he intends to repre sent him self — a risky move in the eyes o f some defense attor neys. But Hunter has long been a risk-taker. It’s practically his middle name.

wenty-six months after the raid on the home o f the poor man’s attorney, April Hensel’s having second thoughts about the aggressive and very public defense o f her husband she’s mounted in the last two years. “I probably made a mistake doing what I’ve done,” said Hensel. “I thought if you bring all this to light and write letters that I’d be dealing with people who were fair-minded.” But now she thinks her actions may only have pushed the govern ment into a corner and forced Tetzlaff to take a “face-saving” action by charging Hunter with

something — anything — even if the feds uncovered no evidence o f him laundering drug money. “The idea that the DEA is the prime mover in investigat ing mail fraud is absurd," said Hensel. Mail fraud, she noted, is normally the FBI’s turf. As far as family life goes these days, Hensel said, “It’s summertime and the kids don’t read the newspaper. I’m m ini mizing it in their lives. I’m more concerned with their issues, like Little League. They don’t need to be burdened.” Hunter, meanwhile, is preparing for his defense — solo. On Monday, Judge William Sessions granted his request for a 60-day extension o f the deadline for filing pretri al motions. “The court finds,” wrote Sessions, “that the ends o f justice are best served by granting an extension.” “I’m not going to disclose any trial strategy," said Hunter. “The truth is my defense. My view is, anybody who knows me and understands me knows there’s no [illegal] intent in anything I’ve d o n e... “Mail fraud is a crime that has to do with using the mail while you’re scheming to defraud, and I will just say that there’s nothing I have done that has anything to do with schem ing to defraud,” Hunter said. “That’s as much about trial strategy as I feel comfortable talking about.” The screen fades. The actors are preparing for the next scene. The ending has yet to be written. ©

If an aversion to bug bites is keeping you from enjoying Vermont’s short summer, let these precau tionary and preventative measures free you to be one with the outdoors. For those w ho are allergic, the m ost serious hug bites are bee stings. W hile most stings swell at the source o f the bite, says Joan Elizabeth Martin, edu cation coordinator for the Vermont Poison Center, swelling that spreads and is accompanied by hives and difficulty breathing usually indicates allergy. “These are the signs o f a true emergency,” she says. An ambulance should be called for anyone exhibit ing these symptoms People who are aware they are allergic to bees should always carry a bee sting kit equipped with epi nephrine. To remove a bees stinger, scrape it out using a dull knife or plastic card; tweezers can squeeze additional venom into the wound. And, as with any other injury, keep it clean to prevent infection. Laura Brown, an herbalist and proprietor o f Purple Shutter Herbs in Burlington, recommends that people who are not allergic ingest bee venom in tablet or liquid form to reduce inflammation and pain. Ticks carrying Lymes disease can also cause problems, but because it is curable with antibiotics, Martin says it is not a cause for alarm. A tick bite is often identified by finding the bug on your body (when removing it be sure to get both the head and body), or by a red, expanding bull’s-eye lesion fol lowed by flu-like symptoms a few weeks after a bite. If untreated, Lyme’s disease can lead to chron ic arthritis, but when identified and treated there are no averse affects, assures Martin. Because bee allergies are fairly rare and this state is relatively free o f Lymes disease, Martin maintains that Vermonters should not be overly anxious about the possibility o f being stung or bitten. For people plagued by mosquitoes and black flies — less o f a health risk but more annoying — Brown suggests several preventative measures. Loading up on acidic beverages like lemonade or grapefruit juice before venturing outdoors can deter mosquitoes from making a meal out o f you. Use cedar or sage sticks, available at natural goods stores, to “smudge” yourself — just light and wave the bug-deterring sm oke around your body/ In addition to your grocery store selection, all natural bug repellents, including dtronelktsalves, are also effective, and citroneila candles or plants, when put out 4 0 m inutes prior to socializing outside, w ill also ward o ff mosquitoes. Brown admits that black flies often ignore these measures, so the best prevention is to sim ply avoid prime black fly season in the spring. To alleviate itching from a bite,; Brown recom- ____ ............................. ...........- L ............l l : _____l __ L —l ... ■cents s as or yarrpw^ LJay doctored w ith a [ tial oil and placed on bites w ill cool nerve endings and dry out any poisons.

ARIES

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): In a recent radio interview, a former remoteviewer for the U.S. military was asked how his personal life had changed as his psychic talents had grown. “There were secrets my conscious and subconscious minds had been waiting for years to tell each other,” he said. “And as my ! telepathic power improved, 1 found they no longer wanted to wait.” I thought of you when I heard that, Taurus. The barriers between your deep self and surface self are crumbling, too. In the coming \ weeks I predict you’ll have an everincreasing ability to read your own mind. (May 21-June 20): O ne definition o f insanity is to keep taking the same action over and over, but expea

' '"

Aug 7 - Aug 13 (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): How dare you be so gorgeous and irresistible? W hat the hell were you thinking when you made yourself into a sleek safe-sex machine that even innocent bystanders have sudden longings to take for a ride? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility towards your fellow humans? They need to get something else done besides fantasizing about your luminous, inflammatory, enthralling presence! Show some mercy, you punchy provocateur!

know too much about me. How old am I? W hat do I look like? Am 1 married or not? I try to be fuzzy in providing details. T hat way you can concentrate on the useful information that comes through me rather than get distracted by my personality. I also believe it encourages you to freely exercise your imagination, which is one of my most fervent goals. This week, Cancer, I urge you to imitate the strategy I just described. Don’t allow your style to overwhelm your substance. Let your actions speak louder than your charisma.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): To further honor the phenomenal growth spurt you’re enjoying, here are more fabulous brags from my Leo readers. “I’m a kickass photographer,” boasted Brooklyn’s Merri Cyr, “and when I’m rich and famous I’ll still return your calls.” Bill Pec of Portland glowed, “I ’m the only personal trainer that Oprah Winfreys trainer met with on his book tour; was Gold Gyms Trainer o f the Year; was featured in Soloflex and Honda commercials; have shirts, water hordes, and key chains imprinted with my logo.” Bill Oliver o f Pittsburgh: “Though I’ve contracted multiple sclerosis, m y sexual skills, which were already great, have

from 9th-century Ireland or the spritely entrepreneur from 1 lth-century Ghana? Will it be the violent religious zealot from 13th-century Russia or the wise ^nd compassionate Buddhist monk from 19th-century China? I do believe there’ll be more than chance at work in determining which ancient part of you comes pouring through. It may all depend, in fact, on how aggressively you scour away an old karmic blot from your current incarnation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As a harmony-inducing, network-lubricating Libra, you’re a master of being all things to all people. One of your guiding principles seems to be, “Ask not what your community can do for you. Ask what you can do for your community.” I applaud that quality in you, and wish ' more people had it. Having said that, though, I’d like to suggest that you spend this week balancing the ledger. Ask less what you can do for your community, and more what your community can do for you. SCORPIO (O ct 23-Nov. 21): I would really love to go out on a limb here. I’m tempted to predict that I or Nike or McDonald s ' *■' ' conttaa 80s1

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s not a good week to wolf down Kentucky Fried Chicken under the nose o f the Sphinx in Egypt or to buy a used didgeridoo from a white con man impersonating an aboriginal elder. On the other hand, it’s an excellent moment to e-mail a prayer to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem or muse on the Buddha’s teachings while hooked up to one of those brain machines that uses high-tech sound and light to induce a deep state of meditation. In other words, Sagittarius, it’s an excellent time to update and expand your notions of what it means to be spiritual.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): My friend Jan told me a story about her Capricorn acupuncturist Dr. Ming. Seeking treatment for menstrual distress, she got more than the usual array of needles: Ming also thumped the nail o f her big toe with a small silver hammer for two minutes. “Why?” Jan asked. “Good for the uterus,” he replied. Then, in w hat a t first seemed like a non sequitur, Ming proceeded to talk about a traumatic event from his childhood in China, when he was forced to ’ .atrocity1 pound bam boo:

astrological aspects that’ll be teasing and pleasing you in the coming weeks, I’ve arrived at the conclusion that you should write out the following epigram and tape it to your mirror: “Neurosis is the inability to deal with ambiguity.” (Sigmund Freud said that.) Even more importantly, Aquarius, I urge you to come up with an exercise program designed to strengthen the brain muscles that help you tolerate contradictions.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The motel I stayed at last night was in an unusual neighborhood. As I strolled back to my room from the 7-EIeven down the street, I passed six unexpectedly attractive and well-spoken hookers, as well as two affable gentlemen who offered to sell me crack, speed or heroin at bargain-basement prices. Somehow I resisted this seductive melange, and retired to my sanctuary to enjoy my raspberry smoothie, bran muffin and a night of HBO . I bring this up, Pisces, because I see your life in the week ahead as having certain similarities to my experience. I believe you’ll be offered a host o f temptations which you don’t really want or neetj. no m atter how exotic or full o f adventure they appear on the surface. ®
