WATCH O U T FOR ‘DYKES’ W hat happened to “Dykes to W atch O u t For?” In your issue - dated July 16, 1997, you announced you would be carrying Bechdel’s awesome strip along with G roening’s “Life in H ell.” T his issue I see only “Life in Hell. W hat hap pened? I guess I have to rush out to the Peace & Justice Store and buy H ot Throbbing Dykes to Watch O ut For and continue to rely on O ut in the M ountains to get my fix. P.S. I look forward to Freyne or someone else addressing Ruth Farmer’s questions concerning the Burlington W om en’s Council (Weekly Mail, July 23). T he council was one o f feminism’s greatest solu tions and I am concerned, though unclear, about whatever the current crises m ight be. Perhaps a more thorough article that actually addresses these issues is called for. — Jude Elford Hardwick

(Ed. note: As we also noted in the July 16 issue, Alison Bechdel creates “Dykes" bi-weekly.)

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL In experiencing Church Street, we experience quirks and idiosyncrasies that make the people and shops decidedly different from any where else in the world. T he character the Marketplace exudes is so charm ing and comfortable that it is not surprising that so many wish to preserve it or be a part o f it. Thus, I begin to respond to Kevin J. Kelley’s article o f July 23, “Chain Reaction.”

T hough the architectural facades o f chain stores like Banana Republic and the Body Shop (to name only a couple) may blend beautifully w ith the look o f Church Street, they are the beginning o f the homogenization o f Vermont. I can’t deny that there is some com fort in traveling and finding a store affiliated w ith some thing you trust back at home, but if we continue to allow chain stores to come into C hurch Street, it will soon be no different than Freeport, Maine, or Alexandria, Virginia, or W inter Park, Florida. At some point the argum ent stops being about con sumerism and capitalistic com petition and starts being about the character and uniqueness o f our home. If Borders joins the ranks o f the Marketplace, it puts at risk not only Chassmen & Bern, but N orth C ountry Books, Crow Book Shop, Pyramid Books and the Everyday Book Shop, to name a few. Each of these stores have a special personality that has allowed them to coexist literally side by side. Is one behem oth store w orth the loss o f five other shops? And though Randy Chudnow , owner of Chassmen & Bern, may be the only one who can

really respond to statements about his business acu men, let me say this much: T he world around there are owners and promoters and salespeople who don’t and can’t possibly satisfy all their clientele. T he dif ference in this situation is that if an author has a problem w ith Chassman & Bern, he not only knows Mr. C hudnow ’s name, but he can walk in the store and speak with him in person. How often does that happen with a chain store? Let’s keep our lives enriched with diversity and character; they are what have made Vermont so spe cial for me and will keep me com ing back in the years to come. — M. Brooke Capps Burlington Brooke Capps is an employee at Chassman & Bern Booksellers. VPR TO O COMMERCIAL? To offer an alternative to your coverage of Vermont Public Radio (Seven Days, July 16): Am I the only one who finds the increasing commercial ization and incessant fundraising of VPR uniquely overbearing, heavy-handed and possibly unnecessary? Fundraising is obviously vital, but what if one has trouble with the use of nearly a million dollars of our money raised every year? V PR will fundraise on the air over 40 days this year, raising over $900,000. Alternatively, N orth C ountry Public Radio across the lake will fundraise 15 days raising less than $100,000. To simplify, VPR is not 10 times the quality o f N CPR. Over the last five years, with its increasing slick ness, highly structured, repetitive and risk-free pro gramming, incessant fundraising, Marketplace (the USA Today o f radio), large paid staff and focus on real-estate acquisition, “V erm ont’s O w n Radio has chosen largess over its prior Yankee efficiency. Public radio is a vital alternative to mainstream pap. For many, it’s a source o f needed perspective and intellectual nutrition. In light o f this, why has VPR chosen to focus on infrastructure over content? W hy has V PR become one o f the largest public radio fundraisers in America? W hy the focus on com m uni ty program m ing instead o f the wider variety of diverse programming found on other public radio stations? D on’t we just want program m ing that is insightful and enlightening, wherever it comes from? Every day I depend on what is good about VPR — accurate weather forecasts, news, analysis and entertainm ent — but these are getting harder to find amongst all the clutter. Possibly is Vermont Public Radio becoming larg er than the inform ation it delivers, and more im por tant than the com m unity it serves? — Art Bell Burlington CO RRECTIO N: Last week in our review (//Circus Smirkus, by Rob Mermin, we mysteriously inserted a photo o f Village Harmony — not “Mermins Merry Pranksters," as the caption read. Village Harmony is a youthful group o f central Vermont singers who ju st departed fo r a trip to England. Our apologies fo r the confusion. For swell pictures — and stories — o f Circus Smirkus, buy the book.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED Better take this one sitting down. Question: Name the only business in | Vermont where an employee caught messing around with child pornography on the job does 1 not get fired? IBM? Fat chance. National Life? Dream on. Vermont Public Radio? Bingo! You win the prize. But it really isn’t a prize at all. More like a kick in the gut. That’s because VPR is, in the minds of many, a prized jewel in the Green Mountain crown. It’s I the sound that rings in the hills ®and hollows with the voice of Garrison Keillor on “Prairie I Home Companion,” and Terry | Gross on “Fresh Air.” There’s I “All Things Considered” for the ®newshounds and “Switchboard” I to chew on Vermont’s issues of I the day. And, unlike all the | other radio stations in Vermont, J VPR regularly asks its listeners » to reach for their checkbooks to keep such unique and valued programming coming. But VPR has kept a dark little secret from its supporters for some time. As Inside Track reported here last week, it’s been a policy at VPR for new employees to go through one I Lextra A u a hoop u v / v y before joining the 1 staff.The final hoop requires the prospective 1 employee to be informed of the “felon” on the 5 premises — Alfred “Fred” Hill, 53, of ! Burlington, a convicted rapist. His victims were ^ underage boys. " In 1986, Hill, then a successful advertising | executive based in Randolph, was arrested and charged with multiple counts of sexual assault. One year later he copped to a plea agreement in i which he pled guilty to two felony counts of sexual assault and went off to jail. Apparently g he was a model prisoner. He completed the I Department of Corrections’ “sex offender pro3Dgram” and was released after two and a half years. VPR added him to the management team jin 1989. He remains on parole until 2007. His parole officer, Merry Kay Shernock, told Inside Track last week Hill “is in good I standing.” She described Hill as a parolee in 1 “relapse prevention mode. They know their risk factors and they have been trained to monitor I themselves so they know when they’re a risk Shernock said she checks in on Hill about i once every three months. “We have no reason | to suspect anything,” said Shernock, who added she’s not aware of any bad conduct or improper g behavior by Hill since his release from jail. The VPR brass, from President Mark I Vogelzang to Chairman of the Board Susan | Crampton, stand firmly behind Fred Hill. |T h e ir view is he’s paid his debt to society and is J an excellent employee at Vermont Public Radio. ^Asked last week by Inside Track if there had | been any incidents of improper behavior in the | workplace by Hill, both Vogelzang and I Crampton said there had not been. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. As Inside Track reported last week, at least | one VPR employee, Amy Barnett, 46, was not | told of Hill’s criminal past when she signed on g in 1995. Vogelzang called it “an oversight.” : When Barnett, the Director of Traffic and i Operations, finally learned about it this spring, | she thought long and hard about it and decided | she could not continue to work at VPR under n the u ic uauiim circumstances. <tiikv,o. “Ii was tta.o devastated,” u vuw ioivu, says Barnett. “It was a heinous, heinous crime.’ i Barnett left VPR two weeks ago and with

her attorney has negotiated an undisclosed sev- 1 erance package that includes an agreement not f to discuss the matter further. But before signing g on the dotted line last Friday, Barnett told Inside Track that Cynthia Shuman, VPR’s vicepresident, had confirmed for her the in-house rumor she’d been hearing of Hill being caught by a fellow employee viewing kiddie porn his computer screen while on duty at VPR’s Colchester studio. Shuman told Inside Track Monday that Barnett is correct about that. “The whole staff knows” about the child pornog raphy incident, said Shuman. She called it “an internal employee matter” and said Hill was “dealt with quite severely” as a result. “Fred did everything he was supposed to do to retain | his job,” said Shuman. However, she won’t say just what that was. This week Vogelzang acknowledged the on-the-job incident, too, though he declined g to specify what kind of pornography was involved. “It’s a thorny 8 issue,” he said. No kidding. Vogelzang explained that he g did not report the porno inci dent last week when Inside Track inquired about any bad conduct by Hill in the work place because, he said, “there was none that affected [Hill’s] ongoing performance at VPR. Crampton told Inside Track § this week she had been informed last year that Hill “may have been looking at something,” but said she was not aware it had anything to do with downloading child porn off the Internet. “I don’t really want to get into it,” said Crampton. She reiterated her view that Fred Hill is “a valued employee,” and suggested that continued press reports of his conduct at VPR § “is not good journalism.” She described the Hill | incident as “a management kind of matter, and g being chair doesn’t mean you get involved in personnel matters.” Crampton added the VPR I board has “very good oversight” of Vogelzang. | “I’m chair of a nonprofit company that’s doing | beautifully in Vermont,” she boasted. Sounds like those blinders are on pretty tight. I “Fred’s had a very difficult personal past,” I said Vogelzang. “My role as CEO is to make sure we can help people who have a problem and help them to continue to be productive employees in a safe environment.” He said the 1996 workplace incident was a serious matter. “We took it very seriously,” he said. He declined, however, to discuss the action taken nor would he say if Hill’s parole officer had been notified. Barnett said she was disturbed by the fact that having a convicted rapist on staff “didn’t seem to bother anybody.” And even when Hill was caught with child pornography at work, management stood behind him. W hat’s wrong with this picture, folks? “I did the honorable thing,” said Barnett, “and I’ve been punished for it.” Clearly, the spin at VPR is that Fred Hill, convicted pedophile and VPR’s development director, is the real victim here. Poor Fred! Forget about the boys Hill raped back in Randolph who may today hear him on the air during VPR fundraisers. Forget about the VPR staff’s feelings in the workplace. In the view of VPR’s blue-ribbon brass, Amy Barnett, the “dis gruntled employee” and yours truly are the per i petrators. Should have just kept our mouths | shut rather than tarnish the sacrosanct apple pie | image of Vermont Public Radio. Too late, folks. All things considered, its time * VPR’s members know what’s really going on. ® 1

HELL TO PLAY: The plays the thing, but actors and audiences are also kind of important. For the first time in Queen City history, Burlington is experiencing a shortage of actors — presumably because of a local drama glut. Josh Bridgman had to cancel his production of Tiny Radio Wave because he couldn’t find a cast. “Everybody is suffering in various degrees,” says the playwright, noting Deborah N eff gave up on a “girl Pinocchio” because of staffing challenges and “Adriano Shaplin had trouble finding people for his thing.” The cause of the crisis is almost definitely the Growling Pup Theater Festival at Magic Hat, which has presented nine plays in rapid succession so far this summer. “I’m not a good enough actor to do 14 characters,” Bridgman says, then reconsiders with a nervous laugh. “In my more schizo phrenic moments, maybe.” The next play, Washed Up Middle ' Aged Women, is imported from Boston . . . . The rule at Growling Pup is no show if the actors outnumber the audience. At Lost Nation, the actors get paid no matter what. Despite good reviews, attendance is also down by about 20 seats per show at Montpelier City Hall, according to co-directors Kim Bent and Kathleen Keenan. W ith a month left to play, the company is already approaching a $30,000 deficit. “The bottom line is, we don’t have enough people in the theater to support what we are doing,” Bent says. Great weather may contribute to the problem — sunny weekends and dark theaters do not play well together. Unfortunately, the drama downturn is a national trend. As Ben Jonson put it 400 years ago, “Though the most be players, some must be spectators.” IN BRIEF:

j PHISH SHUCKS: Rome was not built in a day. It was built in ; two weeks, with a wildly enthusiastic Job Corps crew, by | Burlington sculptor Lars Erik Fisk. The original art director of ; Seven Days knows most of the Bernini references will go right [ over their Phishheads, but maybe a few wayward art critics will | recognize the Great Went was classically inspired. “It is essential! ly urban planning,” Fisk says of the city he is constructing for ; the Phish show, which at least for the weekend could be the | biggest burg in Maine. And he spent enough time in Italy to ; know a perfect piazza when he sees one. Fisk was well repre| sented last year at the Clifford Ball, but the band asked him to ; be “more involved” this year. So together with Firehouse ! Gallery curator Pascal Spengemann, Fisk drew up a number of ; “outlandish, momumental absurdities,” thinking the band | would maybe go for one or two scenarios. Phish bought the whole package — hook, line and wind gloves — and made Fisk “art director” of his own colossal vision.

There are no Kitty Hoot cameos in the French film, When the Cat’s Away, but that didn’t stop Sony Pictures from inviting a Colchester company to get in on the merchandising. Fat Cat Inc. makes the “official cat toy” linked to the the feline film that opens Friday at the Nickelodeon. No doubt some movie marketeer picked up on the favorable Forbes article last month, which details the local success story — Fat Cats will soon live up to its name. The company made $80,000 on sales of $ 1 million last year — and takes a few catnip-crazed jabs at Ben & Jerry’s. To celebrate, the company is hosting a pet photo contest h la Seven Days through the Pet Food Warehouse. The three categories are “fat cats,” “wackiest pose” and “owner-cat look-alike.” Winners get recognized at the movies . . . The Art Hop is the cultural equivalent of a pub crawl — an in vivo tour of some of the coolest studios in the city. The organization also matches artists up with businesses twilling to hang their works for the duration of the event. This year Seven Days will showcase our own artists — M atthew Thorsen, Sarah Ryan, Samantha H unt and Michael Barrett — at our new location on South Champlain Street. Organizers are looking for other South End businesses that want to be on the map . . . Tap dancing has come a long way since Shirley Temple. The Good Ship Lollypop has been highjacked by some bad-ass dancers. A handful of them are in residence at the Flynn, perfecting a jazz-tap-hip-hop show that goes from dress rehearsal directly to Jacobs Pillow. In other words, this work-in-progress is basically done. And when it comes back to town in March, you will have to pay to get in. On Saturday, get a free sneak preview of the fastest-moving show on the Flynn season. ®

he question still haunts Russell Allen: Why didn’t he ask Andrew to go fishing that day? Everything would have been different. Andrew would be home like other kids this summer, mowing lawns, flyfishing in the Lamoille River and working odd jobs at the Elmore Store. Instead, Andrew went riding on his all-terrain vehicle. It was almost a year ago, one of those breezy days of fall, when a 13year-old boy sees only the trail before him. Andrew and two other young men were riding through the woods around the far side of Lake Elmore when they came to a sand pile the size of a house at the town garage. Anyone acquainted with Andrew knows he has his mom’s gentle smile, his dad’s rugged work ethic and the maturity of many adults. He’s a remarkable kid who would hunt with the grown-ups, earn more than $300 a week from his lawn-mowing business, or easily stop in town for a long chat with an elderly gentleman. But as he looked at that pile of sand last fall, the exuberant teenager in him took over. Andrew revved the ATV and climbed toward the top. The machine reared and flipped. Once word of the accident reached Russell Allen at home, he raced his pickup to the sand pile and found Andrew face down. He turned his son over and prepared for the worst. “I figured it was over,” Allen recalls, his eyes watery. “I thought it was done. There was blood everywhere.” Andrew suffered multiple bruises to his brain. The doc tors at Copley Hospital in Morrisville told the Allens that Andrew probably would die. The only hope was to rush him to the intensive care unit at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington. But even at Fletcher Allen, there was little the doctors could do surgically. They worked to reduce swelling in Andrew’s brain, to prevent infections and to rely on the healing powers of a boy so full of life. Ever since that awful day, Russell and Nancy Allen have lived a parent’s worst night mare: the fear of losing a child, the confusing advice from doc tors, the sleepless nights at home, the unexpected trips to the hospital. And, as if fighting

A NIGHT OF DEAD BEATS, AND GREAT MUSIC, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16.

NOV

(self-released CD) — From the first note of Then to Now, the gentle, upful sound o f Lambsbread (a name that has been spelled several ways, including on the C D ’s own sleeve) tugs the memory. Anyone who saw this band emerge in the ’80s will feel the pull o f history, not only about that era o f the Burlington music scene and ear lier styles of reggae, but about the timeline o f political oppression. The liner notes tell the reader what the ears do right away: This selection, from a decade o f Lambsbread originals, reflects “the state o f the world past, pre sent and future.” T he group’s founders — Vermont’s own Sly & Robbie, brothers Dannis and Bobby Hackney — are thoroughly American lads, but like many a black or white citizen over the years, have poured heart felt consciousness into political and social causes on foreign soil, from apartheid (“Tables Have to Turn”) to the student uprising at Tienanmen (the excellent “Officer Can I Plead,” with a rankin’ guitar solo by previous guitarist Jeff Kennedy). None o f these tracks include early members Ken (Kenny Melody) Rachlis or toastmaster “Jah Roy” Cunningham . The ’80s tracks do feature Kennedy, Rick “Snidely” Steffen and the late percussion ist Mikey Strongcloud. And if the adoption of Rasta jargon, hairdos and all things Jamaican was more about style, American-stylee reggae bands have certainly been sincere about the sacred substance. “Fire Up De Ganja,” reportedly inspired by the Greatful D ead’s “Fire O n the M ountain,” is still a spirited anthem o f the times. Two versions are pre sented here, from 1990 and 1995; the original remains the best. Ironically, a song recorded at Jamaica’s famous Channel 1 Studio, the anti-handgun ballad, “Better be Careful,” is one of the weakest musically, if relevant lyri cally. Lambsbread’s work in the ’90s reflects more universal concerns and, perhaps in the context o f rap, dancehall and acid jazz trends, ventures into the melody-free, rhythm-and-silence style. “H urry Up,” from 1993, is an odd but tightly delivered ditty about the pace of modern life. “Babylon Killed a Rebel,” also from ’93, is a too-Iengthy percussive chant with wise words but no memorable hooks. Lambsbread showcases both dub chops “Dread at the Lambsbread Controls” and “Let’s Go Flying”) and loverrock tendencies (“You’re a Big Girl Now,” previously unreleased) toward the end of Then and Now. T he closer, “Sharing and Caring,” also a brandnew track, pulls it all together Lambsbread-style: tight rhythmic chops, melodic verses, social consciousness and a touch o f brass from H enry ' Huston and Steve Bredice. T he quartet — with the Hackneys, Erik Swanson on keyboards and Guy Frederick on guitar — returns for a rare gig in Burlington this Friday at Halvorson’s.

Her first mission? To eliminate the wedgie — and panty lines. “I tried to do that by sewing elastic to the fabric as flat as possible,” says Comey, “instead of inside with fab ric wrapped around it.” The young designer ini tially gave her two retailers a 24-pack of small, medium and large models.

Unfazed by the reported viciousness of the fashion industry, Comey s next step, besides working on new designs and getting a trade mark, is to hit the intimate apparel trade show circuit. Some retailers in New York have already expressed inter est in carrying her panties, “but I wasn’t ready,” she says. “I realized I need to do some tops — a camisole type of thing with a light bra sewn into it.“ Even now, Comey has aspirations to go beyond undies. “I think I’ll start creeping into them,” she says. “I have a lot of ideas but can’t divulge them now.” First, though, she’s going to work on the dreaded thong. “Some # pie,” says Comey in won-

over the past five years, in-line “events” usually mean a bad crash on a bike path, or perhaps a collision with a few Lycraclad racers on the street. But to the generation growing up with espn2’s ver sion of the “Wide World of Sports,” in-lining means one thing: aggressive skating complete with ramps, airs, grinds and “No Trespassing” signs. But as Kimble and Sutherland reflect, the sport of “aggressive” skating — as in pushing the limits, not pedestrians — is really two distinct disciplines with one common root. “Aggressive skating grew out of skateboarding — people will probably kill me for saying this, but it’s true,” says Mack. ^Everything we do is bas^d on their tricks.” ' ^skateboarders and ram share half-pip^||diere they both catch air o r slide along the lips of the walls performing similar | grinds with ii&jtiies like “fish brsuns,” “50-5(fJm d “royale.” Experienced skaters like Kimble the challengHis in working thfe transitions between the v<% tical walls and the floor in order to generate speed, but the fun is in the air-time. “It’s all adrena lin rush,” he says. Most street skaters, on the other hand, express a healthy disdain for “manmade” ramps,* preferring to rely on “natural” obstructions created by the con crete gods. On the streets they hop over walls, slide down steeply angled handrails or grind along curbs on the sides of their skates. Although Sutherland isn’t against throw ing an occasional “misty flip” — a somersault with one-anda-half twists — he says, “street is more about style.”

“Street is way more techni cal than ramp,” chimes in Joe Goodreau, who at 25 is the elder statesman, and surrogate big brother, on the family-like Ski Rack team. “Ramp gets the big ‘ahs’ and whoas’ from the crowds just because of the big airs,” he laments. “People who see street really don’t respect it... because were out there scraping paint off rails and wax ing up curbs. But either one will blow your mind if you actually sit down and watch it.” Watching Kimble work a ramp, you can’t help but be impressed by his athleticism, balance and body awareness. On a good ramp, he’ll catch seven feet of air over a 10- to 12-foot wall, while grabbing his skates in a curiously misnamed “safety grab,” before plummet ing back into the vortex of the pipe to repeat the process on the other side. In a competi tion, he’ll ride for nearly a minute, putting plenty of other sports’ workouts to shame. While “airs” aren’t necessari ly part of the street scene, the discipline is no less physical, requiring strength and flexibili ty to bring off the fancy foot work. And, there’s the ever-pre sent risk o f injury. Imagine accidentally straddling a threefoot-high rail when you have a 30-inch inseam and the risks of the sport become apparent. “I’m not saying ramp skaters don’t get hurt,” says Goodreau, “but we’re out there splitting rails and scraping on tough

pavement.” Goodreau says it doesn’t matter whether you’re throwing “mute air” off a ramp, using your skates to leave sign on a city street, or even quietly tracking wild animals in the woods. “It’s healthy to be doing your own thing,” he concludes. “It’s all fun in the end.” ® RAMP JAM: Skaters o f all stripes — aggressive and boarders — will take to the Burton half pipe Saturday, August 16, noon 5 p. m.

: dangerous to the status quo than a white boy singing black blues music and making your womenfolk hot and giddy. And he didn't even have a real job. t the time of Elvis Presley's death, August 16, 1977, there were about 4000 Elvis impersonators in the world. Two decades later, there are more than 400,000. If this trend continues, one out of every three people will be an Elvis impersonator by the year 2077. I'm a musician, not a mathe matician, so I might rattle off the above probability to get a laugh at a show. But I want to take you back to the lost, the original, the essential, human Elvis, before he became an imi tation of himself and was end lessly imitated thereafter. Back to when this "po' boy" from Tupelo changed the mole cular structure of music and America forever.

Gladys Presley The young Elvis grew up dirt-poor in the rough streets of East Tupelo, Mississippi, with only his Ma to protect him. With poverty both a great equalizer and pressure-cooker, he was an innocent sponge, soaking up all types of music and people. Not far from the legendary Beale Street in Memphis, Elvis received, unedited, blues, country, jazz, hillbilly and gospel — the influences that would birth what we

— Elvis to B.B. King, 1956 To truly appreciate and reclaim the importance of Elvis, you must place him in his primary historical context and cut though the cutesy, Fabulous Fifties factor. America in 1954-56 was a segregated nation. Blacks went to separate schools, drank at separate water fountains and rode the back of the bus. Young middle-class whites knew very few, if any, black folks, let alone anything about their lives, music or cul ture. America in those years was also a repressed and sexist nation. Men were breadwinners and women were homemakers. That's why when Elvis first busted onto TV screens, it shocked, stupified and threat ened the average white male viewer. W hat could be more

I heard a new word the other day: "Elvisyear" — as in " 1989 was Barney the Dinosaur's Elvisyear." The expression clearly references that moment when one's popu larity hits a peak, after which it may turn ugly. BB. King never had an Elvisyear. He still plays over 320 dates a year to pay his bills. But when he gets off the road and plays his own club on Beale Street, I wonder if Elvis is watching him, maybe a little jealous that he couldn't grow old gracefully, too. Lee, a co-worker pal of mine, is a die-hard Elvis freak. Late at night, we have these "What if Elvis..." conversa tions. We both agree that, even in his darkest days, a part of him was still trying to be real, and relevant. Songs like "In the Ghetto" and "If I Can Dream" show that. Sometimes, in those old Vegas videos, you can see it. It's painful to watch. He plods about with the grace of a tired old stripper, his glazed blues eyes distant, stoned. Then all at once Elvis takfia a slow, deep 7breath, and gently leads the singers into a new song he loves, or a timeless old hymn, and for one moment, some thing in his eyes relaxes. And as he stands there in the sweet silence, all that is shallow and noisy comes to a halt. This is real. The young, unedited boy shines again from his eyes. Like Schrodinger's cat, this part of Elvis lives on, alongside the cheese, the parody, the bloatedness, the jokes and America’s broken dreams. ®

quantum physics, states that particle wave forms can occupy two places at once, until the act of observation itself affects the outcome. Therefore, when all the glowing innocence and importance of Elvis and all the sad, cheeseball, pathetic mess of Elvis are observed, it creates a black hole-like moral implo sion. Suddenly, like Schrodinger's cat, he can be dead or alive at the same time — as long as you don't look too closely. Elvis becomes Faust, Colonel Tom, Mephistopheles, while Robert Johnson looks up and laughs from some vantage point in hell. fdhat rodent ddofoncfcertainfy tooh you for a ride . , . _ rdt some point in the haze o f it a ff whiy didn t you Jay, Whuit the heff U ?

The Miller’s store, on Route 12 across from the Allen home, has been the hub of community support for the family. Before the accident, if Andrew wasn’t out hunting, sugaring or mow ing, he might be found at the store doing odds jobs, like stock ing or handling bottle returns. Andrew always had been into some money-making scheme. W hen a local sugarmaker had trouble with squir rels chewing on sap lines, he hired Andrew to hunt down the troublemakers at a buck a pelt. W hen the Millers put pencils on sale for 10 cents, Andrew cleaned out the supply and sold them at school for a quarter each. And to the town that now gives him so much, he had also given generously — by donating time and equipment for work on the school playground, or dearC on tin u ed on page 2 8

Andrew Allen, we will turn the tape on. Don’t be shy. He needs our support.” Warren and Kathy Miller, like so many other people in town, are frustrated at how lit tle they really can do. “Everybody just wants to make him better and bring him home,” Kathy says. “But we >» cant. The Allens can’t say enough about their community. “We couldn’t have done it without them,” Nancy says. “It’s just : made it so much more bearable.” Although the Allens wel come support from neighbors, it’s been tougher to accept it from taxpayers. When Andrew’s coverage through CH P expired, Medicaid, the state and federal insurance pro gram, took over the payments. It bothers the couple that they’ve paid their insurance premiums only to have taxpay ers now pick up the cost of Andrews rehabilitation. “To me its a form of welfare. I’ve always paid for everything and I didn’t feel good about going on [Medicaid],” Russell says. “But what choice do you have? We don’t know how long this is gping to go on.” From a patch o f grass sur rounded by pavement and brick behind Hilltop, Nancy Allen has planted a small veg etable and flower garden. Occasionally, she wheels Andrew into the sunshine and to the garden, which is another reminder of home. She fought to persuade the administrators at Hilltop to allow the garden. But now that Andrew is making progress, the

hen he opened his insur ance business 10 years ago in Burlington, Mark Waskow decid ed to decorate his office with antiques from his trade. Not vintage file cab inets or byzantine throw rugs — that would be too typical. But old policies, desk plaques and golfball place hold ers. The Waskow Group office is full of insurance memorabilia, some of which dates back to the late 1700s. The collection of more than 30,000 items repre sents some 4000 insurance com panies worldwide. “I just thought it would be a great idea to decorate in my industry. I enjoy being sur rounded by the things I’m inter ested in,” Waskow says. “It’s not a financial thing... it’s a lifestyle choice. Waskow’s insurance items pertain to Life and Health — as opposed to Property and Casualty — and are divided into three categories: old paper work, as in bills of sale, old poli cies, trade cards. Commemo rative items like plaques, paper weights and cufflinks celebrating company or employee achieve ments. And promotional pieces

— trade mirrors, lighters, golf ball place-holders, and dozens of mugs. Wandering through Waskow’s office is like browsing in an antique shop where a few funkier garage sale items have sneaked in. When it comes to collecting, Wascow does not exercise a whole lot of selfrestraint. Items procured from European dealers sit in cases

from mundane to strange. In addition to insurance memora bilia, he collects antique office equipment and advertising icons like the Raid Bug, Orkin Man and Michelin Man. His patriotic streak is reflected in his collection of Statue of Liberty objects. He also noses around for superhero stuff. He has enough bottles to start his own microbrewery, and boasts one of the biggest collections of Frisbees in the Northeast. Waskow is generous with his objects. His business cards and Frisbees were displayed at the Fletcher Free Library last year; other items have been shown at the Fleming Museum. In September his collection of pens and pencils will be fea tured at the Colchester Library. Someday Waskow hopes to found a museum of insurance items that traces the evolution of financial services in the U.S. Although he declines to divulge the worth of his collec tion, he makes sure his objects are insured. He estimates an insurance amiquer might spend $20 to $300 dollars an item, depending on its condition. For the super-serious, there’s even a small national fraternity of insurance memorabilia collectors and traders. But ultimately, Waskow urges others to collect for plea sure rather than profit. “In a way it’s kind of an art form — a type of expression,” he contin ues. “No matter how crazy what you collect is, there are always other people doing it. You’re never alone.” ®

alongside trade-show tokens — in one cabinet you can find a 1991 American Medical Security Nerf football alongside turn-ofthe-century serving pieces from the executive dining room of the Metropolitan Insurance Company. The most unusual items include a 1920s Metropolitan Life fly swatter, a 1970s Nationwide fishing knife, and a 1960s bottle opener in the form of a billy club that reads, “You never need a club for protection when you insure with Health Insurance of Vermont.” For 32 years, Waskow has been trolling for old treasures. His entire collection, which he estimates numbers over three million items, runs the gamut

One of our favorites, for instance, is the age-old conflict between street vendors and per formers and the folks who own the stores around them. There’s something comfortable about the fact that the scene on Church Street — and some of the tensions that go with it — is connected through time with the medieval marketplace. On the Internet, the same medieval drama is playing out. After the scientists finished putting together the Net for their own reasons, just about everyone you know created their own home page on the World Wide Web. Suddenly someone realized that there are a lot of people on the Web. And where there are people, there are customers. Thus was Web commerce born. W hat’s worth buying on the Net? No one really knows yet.

One thing that seems obvious is computer software. Nerds use the Net, nerds have soft ware habits, and the Web can deliver instant gratification by letting the customer download the software on the spot. However, the major software vendors can take your order over the Net, but they still deliver you a box by UPS. The only people who provide instant gratification are people selling shareware — that is, programs that you can try before you buy. The Net is perfect for sell ing shareware because you can deliver it for free by letting people download the program files. Also, it’s cheap to process credit card orders, and people from all over the world can find you. Selling on the Web works well for some people. In fact a Vermonter, Tom Davis of Lincoln, was just praised in Atlantic Monthly for his share ware, available at http:// www.zootsoftware.com. By far the best-selling items on the Net have been books. Many bookstores accept orders by e-mail or via the World

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Dentists 'ove tooth decay. Treating cavities provides them with a steady source of income. Likewise, exterminators are dependent on termites, lawyers need ■crimes, and priests are hungry for ;nners. In fact, lots of people have mbiotic connections with icky stuff, t’s take this theme a step further. Isn’t true that almost everyone in the world nurtures their feelings for the things they >ve to hate? Leftists like me, for stance, cherish big, mean corporations oecause it feels so good to rail against them. Ditto fundamentalist Christians | with Internet porn. And you, Taurus?

It’s often a breathtaking I event: The palpable evidence that there’s ; a creature living inside her. I’m guessing, Aries, that even if you’re not literally germinating a new human being right now, you’ll soon experience something resembling that first kick. \ Congratulations.

By clicking on the title of the book, we might see that we can get it in paperback at 20 percent off, and that the book could be shipped within two or three days. There’s also a brief summary of the book, and a link entitled “Write an online review.” If you’ve read the book and want to post your own opinion of it, click the link, type a few succinct paragraphs of lit crit, and voiltf. You’re a book reviewer! Amazon.com adds your review to the description page about the book for the next potential book buyer to see. One of our favorite things about Amazon.com, though, is “Eyes,” their automated booknotification service. Are you addicted to the science-fiction novels of Orson Scott Card? Would you like to buy a partic ular book when it comes out in paperback? You can ask Eyes to send you e-mail when books matching your preferences become available.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): O n my daughter Zoe’s third lesson at horse camp, the instructors had her try to carry an egg on the end of a spoon that she held in her mouth while sitting backwards on a trotting mare. I couldn’t help but think o f you as I watched her straining to fulfill what seemed to be an impossible assignment. The balancing act you now have to master is almost as demanding. I still think you’ll get the hang o f it faster than Zoe did, though. She broke nine eggs before achieving success. I doubt you’ll drop more than five. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Famed women’s basketball coach Tara VanDerveer is on record as saying that “every great player has a screw loose.” In my opinion, that assessment holds true not just in the world o f sports, but in every field.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Seven months ago you were in the “before” stage of your dramatic before-and-after turnaround. Right now you’re near the climax of the “after” phase. And while the improbable goals o f last January and February have not been entirely accomplished, 70 percent ain’t bad at all. Soon your work will be done, and you’ll be on a kind of hiatus until the next cycle begins in October. In the meantime, I urge you to stand on your head and cross your eyes or do whatever it takes to see the big picture o f the story you’ve lived in the last half year. Events that made little sense when they were first happening may finally reveal their exact purpose.

ing of buying the book. When you decide to “check out,” Amazon.com shows you the list of books you said you wanted, so you have another chance to change your mind. Then you fill out endless screens telling Amazon how you want to pay, where you live, where you want the books sent, whether you want them gift-wrapped, if you want the Holstein or the frog wrapping paper, and so forth. And, of course, they ask you to type your credit card number and expiration date right on the Internet. Is that really safe? The short answer is, “Yes.” Even top executives at Visa International have said they didn’t know of a single docu mented case of credit-card numbers stolen while buying something on the Internet. Nevertheless, companies like Amazon.com have gone to great lengths to create a “secure net work server” that makes it impos sible (as far as we know) for peo ple to listen in and steal your credit card number while you’re buying something from them.

''y'M'fa fa CONSPIRACY TH£ORY**l/2 As with a lot of movies, the advertis ing for Conspiracy Theory gives the impression it is about one thing, but it turns out to be quite another. The latest from Richard Lethal Weapon Donner has been marketed as a thriller concerning a paranoid Manhattan cab driver whose every waking moment is devoted to con cocting, collecting and communicating wild speculations about everything from the Kennedy assassination to manmade earthquakes. You are lead to believe that the cabbies worst nightmare comes true t ___________________________________________ when one of his cockamamie theories hits miftfiHT a nerve with dark, shadowy forces who TRlVlAL PURSUIT Roberts and Gibson are stalked make it their mission to silence him once fa forces that turn out to be more silly than sinister and for ail. In the first half of the film it . , , r n - / j becomes clear that this isn’t what the « the ^ f r o m Richard Donner. movies about. In the second, it becomes ever more evident how much more fun the movie would be if it had been. Mel Gibson gives a distractingiy jumpy performance in the role of the disturbed driver. Lets face in Mel is swell, but De Niro he’s not. The actor’s also just too familiar a presence to disappear con vincingly into a schizoid, urban headcase whose grip on reality seems only marginally tighter than Travis Bickle’s. Julia Roberts co-stars as a plucky Justice Department attorney. Gibsons character has a regulation movie obsession with hen He spies on her through the blinds in her apartment, covers his loony bachelor bin with images of her, and dreams of the day when she’ll accept and return his special brand of amour. After he’s kidnapped, drugged and interrogated by a shadowy Patrick Stewart — doing his best imitation of Olivier in The Marathon Man — Gibson goes to Roberts looking for law enforcement help in addition to love, and the two become targets of unseen, menacing forces. Of course, if there’s anything more familiar in the movies than Mel Gibsons face, its got to be these unseen, menacing forces. Too many movies — and too many of them second-rate ones —• have dusted off this dilapidated device in the decades since Watergate, so it shouldn’t be surprising that its lost its once-sinister zip. What is surprising is that Donner, Gibson and Roberts seem blithely unaware of this and enthusiastically oile rustv cliches on ton of tired plot twists and stuff creakv charter* into

Who has not felt anxious in certain circumstances? At a job interview, an aggressive confrontation, or even socializing in a large group, all of us have felt those sickening symptoms associated with anxiety: shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating. According to Juliana O ’Brien, a therapist at The Creamery in Shelburne, the key to dissipating anxi ety is by learning how to react to stressful situations. “You cant control the stressors in your life, but yoft'<&n controf bow you respond to them,*1 *. • O ’Brien says. “It is normal to have stress — we need some stress in order to perform. A common miscon ception is that were going to get to the point where there are no stressors in our life, but that’s not life.” O ’Brien says our choices are to get so stressed that we make ourselves really sick, or we learn how to be in the anxiety and take care of ourselves.” Despite the urge of instinct, it is not always appropriate to “fight” or “flee” from a stressful situa tion, and trying to control anxiety also tends to exacerbate things. Instead, O ’Brien recommends learning to “flow,” or relax into anxiety, using diaphragmatic breathing, yoga or body awareness exercises to help relieve the accompanying physio logical symptoms. “People have this idea that if they keep anxiety gjn control thG^will be relaxed*.’ Q Btien says, but that makes you mart anxious, whereas course I m a litde anxious, I m just going to take a deep breath,’ you relax into the anxiety.” Positive affirmations like, “I can be a little anx ious and still perform my task; I can handle these symptoms; this is hot an emergency,” can help pea* pie handle stress on a cognitive level; Likewise, O ’Brien says people need to learn how to “be their own best friend” by conducting a positive internal dialogue when they feel themselves getting anxious. “The most important conversation you have is with yourself, so watch your language,” O ’Brien says. “In other words, when you start focusing on the worst-case scenario... you’re scaring yourself, and that will again increase the anxiety.” O ’Brien proposes interjecting positive thoughts and soothing words. O ’Brien maintains that because chronic anxiety or phobias are often linked to deep-rooted issues, to truly address them people m ust be willing to look beyond their surface fears, a process which can lead to Jess anxiety and mo “The benefits people qu: areas is an
