questio

What decade should the fashionistas bring back next, and why? Clearly this generation is in desperate need of the mid to late '70s. I'm so tired of tribal band tattoos, black goth lipstick and blue hair! It is all meaningless without having survived a polyester leisure suit with a large electroplated zodiac medallion. It's time to toughen up these kiddies with something that will make their hair stand up without gel — and throw in a little bad disco music to really make 'em squeal. — D o n Varney Network Administrator S t a t e of V e r m o n t ~ Montpelier The '20s, because of the fringe, the short hair and the spunk. — H e a t h e r Beal Owner, Clothing Line Burlington

PHONY PHOTO I am writing in response to the article about tires in Seven Days ["Don't Forget Your Rubber," July 31]. Tom Huntington did a great job of covering the issue of tire disposal, getting the numbers right and including options for disposal. It was an interesting and informative read — good job! I was perplexed, however, by the photo (credited to Matthew Thorsen) of our Williston Drop-Off Center. It just didn't look quite right. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the photo had been doctored, assembled from a few photos with the tire pile moved, enlarged and expanded. Bottom line: It

that it reveals the total failure of the states largest newspaper, The Burlington Free Press. The multi-million-dollar illegalities on Hospital Hill are the biggest Vermont corruption scandal in the past quarter-century or more, yet the Free Press seems content with a few headlines and paltry reporting. Nowhere in evidence is an inquiry into the role of the governor, erstwhile doctorpolitician candidate for president, nowhere an investigation into captive insurance companies and the scandal, nowhere is an examination of the possible conflict of interest between FAHC trustees and the awarding of multi-million-dollar contracts. Mr. Freyne reports on these things; the Free Press does not... It is not the reporters at the Gannett-owned paper but the management who must take responsibility for the newspaper's total failure to cover the news... When there was a scandal involving the ice hockey team at the University of Vermont, the Free Press left no stone unturned. But that was boys, coaches and a little bit of sex. When power and money and abuse of the public good

Money & Politics In little Vermont, the hits just keep on coming! This time the issue is desperately needed reform of the political money machine we call "democratic elections." And last week, in a stunning 2-1 decision, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals declared that Vermont is once again leading the nation. Last year, U.S. District Court Judge William K. Sessions III upheld Act 64 s limit on individual campaign contributions. But Sessions ruled the state could not limit campaign spending or put an end to those big checks that come in at the last minute from the national political party headquarters in Washington, D.C. Under current law in the land of the free, political campaign expenditures are viewed as an exercise of "free speech." You can say what you want and spend as much as you want to say it.

2nd Circuit to rehear the case or filing an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court. After all, that's exactly where the reformers want this baby to end up. Even the lawyer representing the State of Vermont asked Judge Sessions not to dare monkey around with the current election by changing the rules in the middle of campaign season. Given what happened in the presidential election in Florida," said Assistant Attorney General Richard Johnson, the state is concerned about "the impression" a rules switch would have on the public's sense of fairness. Good point. Incidentally, Judge Sessions wasn't above giving himself a little pat on the back. He noted with a touch of pride that, "The 2nd Circuit did adopt all of my findings regarding a compelling government interest." "The issue," said the judge, "is framed perfectly for the U.S. Supreme Court to deal with." Bravo, Prince William III! Mary Fanny Update — Sunday was Fletcher Allen Health Care's (FAHC) annual employee picnic at Dorset Street Park in South Burlington. According to an email sent out to employees on Monday by acting chief administrator Thad Krupka, "The Picnic was fantastic and everyone who attended I am sure will attest to it. The children had the best time and the unexpected arrival of Elvis was a special treat." Cool. We thought Elvis

But two of the three judges on the federal appeals panel in lower Manhattan said phooey! "Vermont," declared the appeals court, "has shown that, without expenditure limits, its elected officials have been forced to provide privileged access to contributors in exchange for , campaign money.

The colonel's in charge In the U.S. Supreme Courts 1976 decision in Buckley v. Valeo, limits on candidate spending were rejected. Elections have been about money more than ideas. In light of that, the 2nd Circuit decision is a genuine blockbuster. Now, for the first time in 27 years, there's hope that the wicked genie of the money race can be put back in the bottle. The 2nd Circuit said, "The accessibility and accountability of public officials — and the public's faith that Vermont's government is accessible and accountable — are fundamental to any democratic system. The state's expenditure limits, in conjunction with the contribution limits, are necessary to ensure that access is not available only to those who pay for it. Vermont's expenditure limits, by removing the financial pressures and spiraling campaign costs that have conspired to privilege monied special interests, can uniquely ensure that government accessibility is not a commodity for sale." God bless America! Tuesday, all the lawyers in the Vermont case were back in federal court in Burlington. The question hanging in the air was, when will the appeals panel's ruling be put into effect? So far in Election 2002, Vermont candidates have been operating under "Sessions Law," which does not limit spending or party contributions. With Election Day less than three months away, might the judge change the rules in midstream? After all, Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Douglas has already spent more than the $300,000 cap. Changing the rules now would mean Mr. Douglas would have to spend the remaining days of the campaign locked in a cellar. Not to worry. The judge is very familiar with political campaigns. In 1992, Bill Sessions, then a bright attorney with a future, was U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy's campaign manager. He done good. That November, Leahy easily defeated a guy named Jim Douglas by 11 percent. Small world, eh? For those who follow this case closely, there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell of Judge Billy imposing the spending caps on the current campaign. Instead, Sessions noted all the possible options for the plaintiffs. Among them is asking for the full

now on Hospital Hill, replacing C E O Bill BoettCher, who was put on paid administrative leave. In his e-mail, Col. Krupka debunks what he calls "The Rumor of the Week." "The rumor," writes FAHC's commanding officer, is that "Bill Boettcher received $1 million (to $3 million, depending on the rumor) for turning the organization around financially (or getting the project done on time and on budget)." "Absolutely not true," writes Krupka. "Keep the rumors coming, they give me a good laugh occasionally and help me keep my sense of humor." Meanwhile, the investigations by the U.S. Attorney, the Vermont Attorney General and the six-member committee set up by hospital trustees apparently are underway, and that's no laughing matter. Asked to confirm a report that federal investigators have seized hospital computers, FAHC spokesman Maria McClellan would only say, "Documents have been secured." Meanwhile, there's growing criticism of the appointment of David Coates to the trustees' investigating committee. A distinguished backroom political player, Coates was on the controversial Vermont Economic Progress Council (VEPC) at the time it was granting tax credits to IDX. The hospital's concealment from state regulators of its recent purchase of a multi-million-dollar software system from IDX is one of the matters under investigation. Some say having Mr. Coates play investigator means the hospital's probe of itself will amount to little more than mousemeat. Unfortunately, Mr. Coates could not be reached for comment this week. Red Ink Conclave — T h e tourists were outnumbered at the Statehouse Monday, as legislators, lobbyists, advocates, reporters and political hangers-on packed into Room 11 to hear the Dean administrations plan to soak up $39 million of red ink.

Curses, Foiled Again A man walked into a bank in Harrisonville, Montana, and showed the teller what looked like a gun. Instead of cash, he demanded a cashiers check for $200,000. About two hours later, according to FBI representative Jeff Lanza, George Leroy Curtis, 75, accompanied by a salesperson from an RV dealership, presented the cashiers check at his bank in Independence and had the bank write a $166,000 cashiers check to the dealership. The FBI identified Curtis within hours, and he was arrested in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he had gone on vacation in his brand-new 40-foot Holiday Rambler motor home with his 65-year-old girlfriend, her son and her two grandsons. "We're still trying to figure this guy out," Lanza said, "whether he's just not very bright or never cared whether he got caught." • After Eric Peltz, 36, and another hunter shot a black bear and her three cubs last November, they proudly posed with the carcasses for a newspaper photographer. Peltz told a reporter for the Standard Speaker of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, that the successful bear hunt was a dream come true, providing an account full of details. The story caught the attention of investigators with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, who last month charged the two men with killing the bears illegally

because they used apples as bait to lure the animals. They also charged Peltz with exceeding the legal limit of one bear a year.

Better Red Than Dead Hoping to reduce the number of koalas killed by cars each year, authorities in the Australian shire of Redland have begun painting dead koalas red and leaving them beside the road to alert motorists to drive more carefully in areas where the slow-moving animals live. The measure by the Redland Shire Council, which hopes the six-month trial program will reduce the estimated 150 koalas killed each year in the shire, drew criticism that it will upset passing motorists and children and may cause more accidents if drivers stare at the roadkill instead of watching the road.

Easy Money Cook County State's Attorney Dick Devine said he is investigating charges that adoption lawyer Joyce Britton routinely billed the Illinois child welfare agency for more than 24 hours' work a day on uncontested adoptions. For one six-day week in April 2001, for example, Britton billed the Department of Children and Family Services for 207 hours, or 63 more hours than are in six days. "It makes her look bad," Britton's attorney, George Collins, admitted, "but it's not that bad." • Ed Jagger, a lawyer in St. Petersburg, Florida, insisted that he earned his $350,000 fee, even though his client said that all he did was make one phone call. When Mary Kay Brite died, her stepgrandson, David L. Brite, who lives in California, hired Jagger to

Very quickly others also rallied around my family. My place of work, Howard Community Services, had a fund raiser and brought meals regularly. The St. Anne's parish and other individuals in Milton and surrounding areas sent money. The Elks Club, Knights of Columbus, HCS, A fund raising group from the Chittenden Bank, and other cancer support groups sent checks. This experience has been challenging, but it has also been very rewarding. It brings new meaning to life, and allows us to realize that individuals around us are full of compassion, sometimes we just have to open our eyes just a bit wider. Thanks again. — CHRIS, SHELLY, AND SIERRA PEPIN

for Mary Kay Brite and sent Jagger a copy. When Brite learned he was inheriting an estate worth more than $1.4 million, he decided that Jagger's fee was excessive and asked the court to lower it. "It's been an easy estate," Paul McColley, Brite's accountant, said. "No issues. No litigation. It's the easiest work you can find."

In Columbus's Wake Alvaro de Marichalar Saenz de Tejada became the first person to cross the Atlantic on a personal watercraft, making the 5200-mile journey from Rome to Miami in 117 days aboard a 9-foot Bombardier Sea-Doo.

Accompanied by a support ship with a crew of six, Marichalar said he averaged 12 hours a day,

pointing out that he stood up for most of the voyage to prevent spinal injury. "The most difficult part," he added, "was the cold."

Second-Amendment Follies Donna Sue Miller, 46, admitted responsibility for the death of her 5-month-old grandson, who was shot by a bullet from a .40caliber Glock semiautomatic handgun that Miller had hidden in the broiler drawer of the oven in her home in Cassopolis, Indiana. The gun discharged two days later when Miller put a pizza in the oven to cook. "I didn't know the gun was loaded," she said after she was sentenced to five years' probation.

Animal Farm After health officials in Madison County, North Carolina, filed animal-cruelty charges against Hugh and Karen Koontz for housing more than 100 potbellied pigs, 20 dogs, two dozen cats and several chickens and ducks inside their filth-encrusted home, Hugh Koontz insisted there were only 96 pigs inside the house. He admitted, however, that health and financial problems made it difficult for the couple to keep up with the growing number of animals they had rescued, explaining, "Things just get away from you."

But it seems the late, unlamented Fiihrer "loved money and died rich," much to the surprise of Ingo Helm, a documentary filmmaker whose latest work, Hitler's Money, is about to be shown on German national television. "Influenced by his propaganda," Mr. Helm declares, "I thought of Hitler as someone who wasn't selfish. I knew he was a criminal, but I didn't know he was rich." Isn't that precious? Hitler also liked dogs and children — "Aryan" children, anyway — and he was photographed dancing a jig, one leg in the air, when he heard that Stalingrad had fallen in 1943. True, after Stalingrad, he declared four days of mourning for the German people and closed all "places of entertainment," but he could afford it, having already made something like $50 million in royalties on his masterwork, Mein Kampf— a copy of which, by Nazi decree, was sold to every German couple on their wedding day. When you own a country, you never need to worry about your bank balance. According to Mr. Helm: "Hitler made few distinctions between his own money and that of the Nazi Party and even the state. It was all mixed together. "Hitler also benefited hugely from contributions made by individual businessmen and the corporations... He wasn't simply created by big business. Once he was in power, big business was opportunistic, contributing large sums to what was known as 'the Adolf Hitler Donation of German Industry.' "From the time he became chancellor until his death in 1945, Hitler received some 700 million reichsmarks in corporate payments — well more than $3 billion. In return, the businessmen made millions more on their investments and their war work." Did somebody say "war"? I thought so. It's the best way to revive a dying economy, and the good news is you can shoot the resisters. Please understand that in

Germany, even now, they haven't quite come to terms with the whole Hitler thing. This is only natural, given the unique awfulness of the Nazi regime and the fact that Mein Kampf is still banned in Berlin. You can call Hitler evil, unspeakable, a mass murderer, even "a homosexual" (as happened last year in Lothar Machtan's best-selling book, The Hidden Hitler), but don't, for God's sake, let anybody read what he actually said. They might find out that Hitler was their own creation, and that he can turn up anywhere, anytime, as long as most people stand back and say nothing. He can even turn up here — don't kid yourself. Indeed,

ties — numbers 4 and 5 — have been suspended in our own country since last September. More, if you happen to be suspected of terrorism or its intent and disappear into the modern equivalent of the oubliette, denied due process and held without trial for as long as the goons want to keep you there. In Germany, after the Reichstag fire, a second decree immediately followed the first, creating the state police apparatus, the S A. (Sturmabteilung) and the S.S. (Schutzstaffeln), both later made famous on "Hogan's Heroes." "The Decree enabled the Nazis to ruthlessly suppress opposition" by centralizing

Did somebody say "war"? I [thought so. IIt's the best way] pio revive a dying economy,J and the good news is you can shoot the resisters. given the current scandals in the Bush administration and the fading pretense of the "war on terror," I'd say it's about time for a Reichstag fire, and if you need to look that up, you should. On February 27, 1933, just weeks after Hitler took power — legally, note, in a democratic election — someone set fire to the parliament building in Berlin. Historians still argue about who it was, whether Nazis or Communists, but not about the consequences. Communists were Hitler's "terrorists," and the Reichstag fire was the excuse for the suspension of civil liberties in Germany. Only a day later, a Nazi "Decree for the Protection of the People and the State" eliminated the following constitutional guarantees: 1. Free expression of opinion 2. Freedom of the press 3. Right of assembly and association 4. Right to privacy of postal and electronic communications 5. Protection against unlawful searches and seizures 6. Individual property rights 7. States' right of self-government You might want to check my figures, but it seems to me that at least two of these liber-

police power, according to Orville Weyrich, who maintains a Reichstag-fire Web page on the Internet: "The point is not that the far right destroyed civil rights. Rather, the point is that a democracy can be destroyed by creating a law-and-order crisis and offering as a solution' the abdication of civil liberties and states' rights to a powerful but unaccountable central authority." Sounds like "homeland security," nicht wahr? So far as I know, the Bush administration has no immediate plans — or, as Dubya says, no "timetable" — for genocide. At least, not against its own citizens. That is, if you don't count millions of people in poverty — jobless, homeless, without health insurance — and don't include the ranks of the recently destitute, many of them seniors, who've seen their life savings go up in smoke thanks to corporate "irregularities." But these are niggling concerns when "freedom" is at stake. After 9/11, Bush remarked that "the only valid reasons" to run budget deficits "would be if the country experienced recession, war or national emergency. "Lucky me," he added, "J hit the trifecta." ®

Food and Drug Administration plays with fruits, vegetables and other food products. But on the other hand, the USDA is a promotional arm of the meat industry. These two often-contradictory purposes — cop and promoter — usually leave the consumer with the short end of the stick. As this particular recall demonstrates, the USDA's chief loyalty is with the meat industry, even to the point of keeping mum about a risk to the health — and lives — of the meateating public. The reason is obvious: money. The meat industry is a powerful lobby in Washington and, not surprisingly, the USDA is staffed largely by former meatindustry executives. A lavish amount of meat money is also spread among key members of Congress — the same folks who are constitutionally required to oversee the USDA's actions. The ag department's incestuous relationship with the beef industry all but forbids it from tackling the fundamental causes of dirty meat. Often referred to as "big meat," ConAgra, Cargill and IBP control nearly 90 percent of the feedlots, processing plants and meat product distributors in the U.S. It's not a pretty business. Because of the giant — and filthy — nature of feedlots and the centralized manner in which the cattle are slaughtered and processed, it's estimated that one industrial hamburger can contain meat from up

reported in Science magazine found that if the big-meat industry fed its cattle hay or grass for just the last five , days before slaughter, E. coli would be nearly eliminated. But Big Meat ignored the research, insisting instead that grain-fed cattle maximize profits. Paul Stecker, an organic farmer in Cabot who markets his beef under the Maple Lane Farm label and has been producing certified organic beef since 1995, has come to appreciate the missteps of his industrial brethren. "The big boys help me," he says of the meat monopolies. "Because the more people know about their problems, the more they'll seek out my pastured and organic beef." Being kinder to cows does carry a price tag, though. Bob Cieri, of the newly founded natural meat cooperative Vermont Fields, concedes that his group's beef costs about 30 percent more than industrial beef. "If you want to eat local and healthy and support farmers who are treating the land well, you have to pay more," Cieri says. "You have to put your money where your mouth is." One major hurdle facing all local beef producers is the dwindling number of USDA-certified processors — only six are left in the entire state. Earlier this year Congressman Bernie Sanders announced a $69,000 federal grant to help train meat processors and, in turn, provide some relief to Vermont beef producers who can't flourish without them. So if you'd rather not be terrorized by your dinner plate, you might try replacing that industrial beef with the organic, pastured version. Then again, there's always tofu. ®

Local Organic Blueberries wander, but we pre-planned our visits. O u r group included four serious home brewers, so our interest wasn't purely sensual but also semi-professional. Months in advance, we met in Burlington for a tasting party, where we sampled a selection of Quebec ciders purchased at a wonderful shop on the fringe of Jean-Talon Market in Montreal, Sweet or dry, light (5-6 percent alcohol), strong (812 percent) or fortified (15 percent plus), still or sparkling, the ciders provided a good overview of the brewers in the region. That evening, we selected those we most wanted to visit in person for sampling — and extensive purchasing! Eyeballing our Quebec maps, we realized the cidreries are all located on the shoulders of those peculiar-looking, stranded mountains we always see to the north, blue in the distance, on the way to Montreal. This area, we learned, is the center of the apple industry and offers some of the region's most beautiful countryside. We started our trip at 10 a.m.

at Clos de Montagne (330 rang de la Montagne) in Mont-StGregoire. T h e lovely tasting room doubles as a showcase for a nearby stained-glass studio and provides a perfect beginning to a magical trip. This cidrerie specializes in fortified or strong ciders, which make delicious aperitifs or post-dinner cordials. Their "Pomme sur Lie" is aged in oak. From there we went to Rougemont, northeast across the plain to the next mountain, and

home to Cidrerie Michel Jodoin (1130 rang de la Petite-Caroline). Jodoin (.zhoe-dwahn) is a much larger and more commercial operation than others we visited, and it therefore can offer a guided tour of the facility and a great overview of how cider is brewed. Language is not a problem: guides here, like the sales and tasting staff at all the cidreries on the route, are bilingual. Jodoin is also Canada's first licensed micro-distillery, producing an apple brandy called "Calijo de Rougement." Their sparkling rose cider, made from a red-fleshed apple called the Geneva, is superb. Just east of Rougemont, on the other side of M o n t Yamaska, is our very favorite, Cidrerie

Digger's Mirth Famous Organic Carrots

Coteau Saint-Jacques in SaintPaul-d'Abbotsford (990 grand rang St-Charles). Ever since he summered on a farm as a teenager, cider-maker Marc Andre Saint-Jacques has been building his skills and the cidrerie with a stunning single-mindedness. In love with the ciders of Brittany, he welcomed the legalization of cider brewing in Quebec in 1980. After majoring in agriculture and botany at college, in 1981 Saint-Jacques bought his farm, put in a nursery and developed and sold apple trees to other growers for several years while working to perfect his own orchard and cider-making skills. H e brewed his first batch for sale in 1985 and now presides over 10,000 trees. His ciders have won several national and international awards, including one in 1997 for "Cuvee sur Paille." To make this unique offering, ripe apples are laid on straw for four months, a process that reduces their moisture content by 25 percent. After a pressing in January, the juice is fermented in oak barrels for one year, then bottled and stored for another two. T h e result is a sophisticated, winey brew with a smell of warm, fresh-cut straw and apples and a natural effervescence — a perfect match for creamy cheeses like Brie and Camembert. Another group of good cidreries sits on the flanks of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, closer to the Richelieu River. T h e Robert family has owned the land occu-

esides the name "Skye," I received many groovy gifts from my hippie parents, including an appreciation for early 1970s folk music and a keen sense of bohemian fashion. Swathed in hand-me-downs from my mother's 1970s wardrobe, I have embraced the peace-andlove image and just naturally blend in with Vermont's Phish-friendly fashion scene. But I have been proudly sporting my patchwork skirts, alpaca sweaters and Birkenstocks without paying much attention to whether I'm in or out of style. So imagine my surprise in finding that I and other like-minded Vermonters are suddenly the inadvertant exemplars of haute couture. In one season, so-called "peasant" smocks and long, flowing dresses have seemingly leapt from the bodies of Vermont dairy farmers' daughters and onto the runways of Paris and Milan. Versace and Yves Saint-Laurent are swaddling their own anorexic flower children in the kind of outfits seen every day on Church Street — and even more commonly State Street in our laid-back capital. But you don't have to cash in your life savings to buy the new designer collection. Wannabe hipsters can achieve the same look from any number of local secondhand clothing stores — not to mention retro-friendly new-clothing shops. Take it from me: I went on a scavenger . hunt last week only to discover that many stores in the greater Burlington area are already stocked with the newly trendy duds. W h o can say which is authentic — original bell-bottom corduroys still mudstained from Woodstock, or the boot-cut Gucci cords with the mark of the elite right on the label? Can the trained eye distinguish the really old from the fake old? Could Vermont citizens dressed in native garb convincingly fill the pages of Vogue and Cosmo} You decide. ®

ou can take me out, but you can't dress me up. I don't do makeup, except sometimes on Halloween. My idea of the perfect hairdo is one that basically combs itself. Faced with an occasion requiring some fancy get-up, I'll agonize over what to wear. After trying on and discarding half a dozen outfits, I'm likely to commit some horrendous fashion faux pas. I'll wear a shirt I somehow didn't notice had a bright stain directly over

one nipple, or pants that fit just fine before dinner but pop a button by the time I reach dessert. Once, for a Christmas party, I chose what I considered my dressiest dress, only to be greeted by my hostess' cheerful observation, "I see you decided to come casual!" Another time, during services in synagogue, the drawstring waist of my skirt mysteriously untied itself. W h e n I stood up to leave, the whole garment slipped to my knees. It's not surprising, then, that buying clothes isn't an activity I

particularly enjoy. Where's the pleasure in the searching and sizing and selecting, not to mention paying the bills? I know that the duds I take home are destined for destruction or, at best, bound to ' look nowhere near as nice on me as they do on the mannequin, or even the hanger. I haven't always been fashionphobic. Back in the '60s, before I got breasts and girls were allowed to wear pants to school, I loved going clothes shopping with my mother. In those Edenic days, the size and shape of my body didn't

Some of my happiest clothesshopping experiences were when my mother took my sister Rachel and me out to replenish this last category: an annual rite of passage that took place on a summer day shortly after the fall line hit Saks New Jersey, a half-hour drive from our home.

she was our age, she told us, dressing paper dolls had been one of her favorite games. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to suggest that after she passed the age of paper dolls, she derived that same aesthetic satisfaction from dressing us. With a fancy women's clothing store in her family and a mother who dressed like a page out of a fashion magazine, my mother spent her childhood learning to admire haute couture. But she also remembered sneaking pretzels because her mother told her she was fat — even though photographs, and her hand-me-down clothes, suggest this wasn't so. However, by the

time she'd given birth to me, her fourth child, she had grown to fit her mothers description. Though my mother adored poring over the semi-annual New York Times Magazine fashion supplement, loved fingering fabrics on the rack and was adept at assembling beautifully coordinated outfits, she was a Saks shopper trapped in the body of a Lane Bryant customer. So while she restricted herself to shapeless A-line dresses, she indulged her fashion fantasies vicariously, through her daughters — and eventually her granddaughters. This was the do-as-I-say-not-as-Ido brand of mentoring. While it was understood that we wouldn't want to grow up dressing like her, we were being groomed to dress the way she would if she could. As "dolls," my sister and I weren't always entirely cooperative. For me, the first crack in my unquestioning acceptance of my mother's clothing appeared in the seventh-grade locker room. Mary Beth Cady sidled up to me, eyed the pull of my Danskin shirt over my barely budding breasts and declared, "You look disgusting." That evening, I left a note on Mommy's pillow: When do you

A l l D o l l e d Up continued from page 15a off the rack. Though we would end up buying just one or two outfits each, the number of items she was willing to drape over her arm suggested nearly anything was possible. The real work took place in the inner sanctum of the dressing room. This was where my mother paid me the greatest attention, so it was also the most satisfying part of the excursion. Obedient as a well-trained pet, I raised my arms to help her slip each garment over my head. Enraptured, I stared at my endlessly multiplied self in the three-way mirror as she did up the zipper and scrutinized the effect over my head. Inevitably, the moment would come when our reflected gazes would meet. And that wordless look would let me know whether the article I was trying on passed muster. "What do you think?" she might ask. Until I caught her eye, I was never sure. But her silent cue erased all doubt. And when an outfit got the thumbs-down, I never wondered where the fault lay. In my mother's eyes, I had the paradigmatically correct body size, shape and coloring. If a particular dress didn't hang right, the dressmaker had obviously screwed up. It wasn't usually dresses we were buying on those back-toschool trips, though, but jumpers. My mother was a big believer in their practical tidiness. For fourth grade, she bought me a tomato-red mock turtleneck and a plaid woolen jumper. For fifth, a blue-and-white striped turtleneck and a shiny brown vinyl jumper. In 1968, when I started sixth grade, I got a white blouse with a ruffle down the front, like those worn by Paul Revere and the Raiders, and a knit V-neck miniskirt jumper. Back home, Rachel and I would dutifully model our purchases, marching up and down the stairs into the living room, where my father — at my mother's prompting — would glance away from the T V long enough to issue a dutiful grunt that my mother translated as his approval. Whether or not Daddy cared how we looked in our new clothes, my mother, watching from her end of the couch, was never shy about her verdict. Not only had she produced perfectly proportioned progeny, but her judgment in matters sartorial — as in all other things — was infallible.

y mother's clothes encounters with us weren't limited to shopping. Even before we started school, she taught Rachel and me to make paper dolls. Using the cardboard sheets that came home from the dry cleaner's, folded inside my fathers shirts, she helped us cut out little-girl shapes. Then she showed us how to trace our dolls' outlines on typing paper and design crayoned kilts and sweaters or puffy party dresses that perfectly fit our two-dimensional models. When

think it will be time to buy me a bra? A few days later, she took me downtown to Haines Department Store. This outing was nothing like our annual pilgrimage to Saks. There was none of the joy of plucking possibilities off the rack and almost no conversation. There would certainly be no parading up and down the stairs later to model my purchase for my father. Looking back, it's hard to say which of us was more embarrassed. As a self-absorbed adolescent, however, I read my mother's grim demeanor as a signal that I had done something wrong, as if by reaching adolescence I had violated some unspo-

us dress pretty much as we pleased. But when the opportunity arose, she still seemed to enjoy buying us clothes. And long after we left home, she continued to dress us long-distance. Though some of these unsolicited selections missed the mark completely — a girly-girl skirt that made me look like Bo-Peep, a multicolored shirt better suited to a clown — her knack for getting it right, both in style and size, was remarkable. Three and a half years after my mother's death, I'm still relying on her judgment to help me create some semblance of the right look for a business meeting or a bar mitzvah. And if someone

As the youngest child, my guarantee of staying in her good graces meant staying forever young — or so it seemed to me at the time. But there was no turning back now. We were squeezing into the dressing room and the prim, gray-haired salesclerk who was wrapping her tape measure around my chest. The number she announced meant nothing to me until, as always, Mommy let me know what to think. With her eyes conspicuously avoiding mine she pronounced, "Pretty small."

he year 1970 didn't just mark my own personal turning point — the time when I first suspected my body might not be perfect after all. It was also the year that local school officials finally bowed to student pressure and liberalized the dress code, allowing girls to wear pants to class. Overnight, the boundary between "play" and "school" clothes disappeared, taking with it my family's annual back-toschool shopping ritual. After the humiliation of acquiring a bra, by the time I was 14 I'd figured out that it wasn't cool to wear one. Following Rachel's lead, I spent high school in jeans or sporting a more exotic look scrounged up in odd places: a mirrored, floor-length skirt from an Indian import store; the faded red-denim jacket my mother had worn in college; my grandmother's French silk blouses from the '20s; a boyfriend's cowboy shirt with a star-spangled yoke. To her credit, my mother let

compliments what I'm wearing, more often than not I'll say, "My mother picked it out." Despite her best efforts, however, my mother's confident approach towards dressing did not rub off on me. And though I'm no longer a docile mannequin, there have been times when I've craved the reassurance of those school-clothes days when she was crammed into a dressing room with me. When I got married, the dress I wore was deliberately selected — but not from a bridal shop. A traditional white gown with a deep V-neck, cap sleeves and a laced-up bodice, it came from my mother's attic, where it had been carefully stored since her own wedding. Like most brides, Mommy and I both had our pictures taken in full regalia. My mother's was shot in 1949 in a formal New York portrait studio. She wears a threetiered veil, her bodice fits snugly and her full skirt floats out around her. Everything about her, from the serious set of her mouth to the precise spray of her bouquet, is perfectly put together. In my picture, which my mother shot with her Instamatic 32 years later in her backyard, a wreath of flowers sits on my head. My bodice bulges unevenly and my skirt hangs limply at my sides. In most of the pictures from my wedding day I'm eating, talking or making a face. But in my formal bridal portrait I'm squinting into the sun and grinning with the goofy glee of a girl caught playing dress-up in her mother's closet. ®

lutarch once wrote that time is "the soul of this world." Back in the first century, those Greek philosopher dudes could calculate their days with sundials. But the world — and seemingly its soul — has speeded up. Time is of the essence, and I was frustrated at having so little of it last week to search for a new wristwatch. Once upon a time, I was content to carry a pocket watch. That quaint habit ended when, sitting in a Montreal movie theater, a Quebecois man next to me politely complained: "Your clock, she ticks too loud." In making the switch to a quieter timepiece, I wanted the equivalent of a pocket watch to wear on my wrist, with a few other specific features: a large, round face with easy-to-read , numbers — not Roman numerals, little lines or, worse yet, a digital display. Silver, not gold. A black leather or fabric strap. Lickety-split, I was able to find just the treasure I'd hoped for in the Timex section of a local drugstore. Worn every day, a watch is as much a fashion statement as jewelry or shoes. I was determined that mine would proclaim, "This is a hip, efficient and eminently punctual person." After spotting someone wearing a wristwatch military-style, with the face near the palm of her hand, I decided to adopt the same look. I suspected this new no-nonsense approach would turn heads, but not a single person has ever commented on my shameless copycat ways. My first Timex was a simple wind-up model, but I soon learned that the battery-operated method is more reliable in the long run. I also began to yearn for a less glaring watch face —

beige or even black rather than white. Plus, it was clear that I really needed an Indiglo button that could light up my life in a dark place. Luckily, Timex manufactures these more elaborate watches, which increased my expenditure from about $15 to a whopping $30 — along with tempus, money fugit. After replacing batteries several times over a few years, I bought a second Timex "Expedition." But recently, I began to notice that the metal back on my now elderly replacement watch is corroding and the precious Indiglo is dimming. Time for a new Timex. But then a wild, third-millennium thought popped into my head: Why not explore other brands? "Time as he grows old teaches all things," reasoned Aeschylus, another Greek moralist, in about 400 B.C. With an open mind, I set out on a watch hunt.

t her family-owned Tick Tock Shop in downtown Burlington, Beth Garbo isn't even sporting a wristwatch. After all, she's surrounded by time. The store carries 15 brands, with prices ranging from about $30 — my preferred maximum — to $5000. "Women usually seem more particular about what they want in a watch," Garbo points out. "But some men are finicky." Females tend to opt for the elegant "bracelet look," she says, while guys like watches with multiple functions, such as a thermometer, barometer, altimeter, compass, alarm and timezone gizmo. Garbo indicates the J. Tissot " T Touch," for $595, which offers most of those capabilities. The fancy watches from TAG Heuer and other companies

I was determined that my watch would T.roclaim, "This is a hip, efficient and eminently punctual person." sleek "Museum Dial" watch, with no numbers or numerals whatsoever on the face. The hour and minute hands move clockwise through a blank background. You have to guess where they have landed at any given moment. "It's won awards," Garbo says. "They have one on exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City." Gucci, Seiko and Rado — with styles named "eSenza," "Crysma" and "DiaQueen" — have jumped on the blank-face bandwagon, too. This concept is essentially the polar opposite of my ideal time machine, as I continue the quest for bold numbers. Garbo informs me that few watches glow anymore. She's got some Timex models, but none are exactly my cup of tea. Besides, I'm still willing to consider other brands even if they don't promise to "take a licking and keep on ticking." Before I leave, Garbo gives me a snippet of historical context: "Watches once had jewels inside "to keep the wheels and gears from wearing down. Now, with quartz and batteries, there

trade; Japan and Hong Kong control the moderate- to lowpriced varieties.

ristwatches first surfaced in the 1500s. Queen Elizabeth I had one, in fact. In the early 1800s, royalty demanded they be encrusted with jewels. Eventually, the armed forces began to see watches as indispensable for coordinating troops and aerial combat; the difference between digging for a pocket watch and a quick peek at the wrist could save lives. Rolex invented the first water-resistant watch, which was worn by an English Channel swimmer in 1927. In the 1940s, American civilians could not buy watches, which were then military-issue only. Though allied powers had to concentrate on the war effort, Switzerland, as a neutral country, continued making these wearable clocks. John Appelt, a watch and clock repairman at It's About Time, Ltd. in Shelbur.ne, reveals that "shock jewels" were developed during the 1950s to make

In 1957, Hamilton crafted the first battery-powered watch. T h e next two decades witnessed competition to reduce the size of these devices. W h e n Neil Armstong walked on the moon in 1969, the astronaut wore one of the earliest automatic chronograph watches, which mark intervals of elapsed time with a sweep second hand or digital display. The Swiss created the first commercial quartz watch in 1970, but did not have the wherewithal to mass-produce them. A year later, Japan's Seiko devised quartz crystal watches that were accurate to within five seconds a month, or one minute a year. In 1983, the Swiss rebounded by introducing the inexpensive but playful Swatch, advertised as a product with "provocation, joie de vivre and imagination." A Swatch craze ensued, as artists such as Yoko O n o and Keith Haring created new designs for the self-proclaimed "streetwise" company. Consumers snapped up Swatch collections, one for

meaning of my question. I thank her and move on to the more upper-crust displays, though I'm clearly out of my element. Branch manager Anna Trernpe tells me that the highend watches under her purview are really like fine jewelry. New designs arrive every spring and fall, often with innovations. Citizen, with price tags ranging from $150 to $6000, makes battery-free Eco-Drive models. "It stores energy from ordinary light," Trempe explains. The power reserve lasts for 270 days. Over at Sears in South Burlington, Elgin, Caravelle, Pulsar, Casio and Folio all flash their wares at me. But I'm dazzled by the sight of two digital Armitrons: One watch has a blueand-silver face with a wheel-like image in the upper left-hand corner that registers the days of the week between its spokes. The other one is green-faced and includes an hourly chime like the one in Big Ben, a European calendar and a way to check military time — after 12 noon, its 13, 14, 15 and so on.

many basic watches anymore," she says. "A lot of people come in here trying to find something that just tells time and maybe the day. I steer them to Timex, which is not as simple as it used to be, but easier to understand than many other brands." My decision becomes easy. I locate the trusty old "Expedition," with a slightly different leather-and-fabric band. Happily for me, the Sears watches are on sale: $36.74 later, I'm once again a no-nonsense kind of gal — at least when it comes to time. "You can't find simple clothes or hairstyles anymore, either," Wiltz continues as she rings up my purchase. "Every single day, something changes." With her confident knowledge of watches, the young woman must have years of experience on the job, right? "I've been here for three weeks," Wiltz confides. Time is relative when you're watching over "the soul of the world." ®

I'm called to a hospital, it's important that I'm easily recognizable," he explains. After September 11th, Ely's purple shirt and white collar helped him gain access to St. Paul's Church on Wall Street, at the edge of Ground Zero. "I was in my clerical garb, and they recognized me as a bishop and invited me in to meet with the staff and see to the ministry... Sometimes," he points out, "it opens doors, it makes the entree a little bit easier." It seems frivolous to ask a man of the cloth if he likes wearing a "uniform" — after all, being a bishop isn't just a 9-to-5 gig. But Ely politely considers the question and offers a down-to-earth answer. "Sometimes," tie admits, "it just makes it easier to decide what to put on in the morning."

Fswe Vermoiiters stand behind uniformity

B Y CATHY RESMER

s a young Catholic school girl, I loved my uniform. I adored the plaid skirt, admired its symmetry and order. The blue, green and black lines intersected at right angles, forming boxes. By cloaking me in those grids, my uniform paradoxically freed me from the anguish of adolescent fashion. It didn't take long to figure out what to wear: I wore what everybody else wore. There aren't many opportunities to wear uniforms as an adult — unless you have to wear one to work. The phrase "men and women in uniform" conjures up images of soldiers, police officers or fire fighters, but in fact many kinds of jobs require standard apparel. For some the uniform is a source of pride or signifies devotion to a particular cause or ideal. Others find their uniforms ugly, uncomfortable or even silly. To an observer, a uniform can trigger hatred, fear, respect or laughter. What all uniform wearers have in common is an alignment with a higher power,

be it the armed forces, a corporation or, well, God. Their identity basically fuses with their occupation. We asked five uniformed Vermonters what it's like to wear theirs.

Tom Ely, BISHOP When he's not wearing his Sunday service vestments, The Right Reverend Thomas Ely, Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Vermont, wears a purple shirt, black pants

Otherwise, he explains, "It can get in the way and knock things over." The cross is one of Bishop Ely's few personalized touches. "My pectoral cross was made as a gift from the folks I worked with in Connecticut, before I came to Vermont," says the clergyman of 22 years. "The chain was Bishop Butterfield's chain, who was my predecessor here four times removed." Other than the cross, and the Bishop's ring on his right hand, Ely is unadorned.

Tam Cristman, MILITARY POLICE OFFICER Senior Airman Tam Cristman of the Vermont National Guard gets a little toasty in the summer. As a member of the Military Police, she wears a black beret, along with "woodlands camouflage" pants and blouse, a black T-shirt and black leather combat boots. This is her "Battle Dress Uniform" and, like most military outfits, it's tailored for

"People would come in to eat and say, 'Do you have to ear that?'" — TGI Friday's Bartender Jennifer Nantell and a white clerical collar. "Most clergy shirts are black," he says, "but bishops wear purple." The 50-year-old Ely also wears a pectoral cross hanging from a chain around his neck. He often keeps the sizable cross, which is meant to rest against his chest, in his breast pocket.

"Clerical garb is not meant to draw attention to oneself," says Vermont's highest-ranking Episcopalian. "It's not a personal statement. It's meant to be an identification of one's vocation." Ely finds this instant identification useful in crisis situations. "For instance, if

men. "The only ones that are cut for women are maternity ones," Cristman says. Even so, "they're not too bad. They're fairly comfortable." Cristman displays several patches on her uniform, a police badge, and a

continued from page 33a nametag above her right breast pocket. She further distinguishes herself by polishing her shoes, starching her shirt, and setting the crease in her pants. "You have to spend maybe an hour polishing your boots, maybe 15 minutes starching your uniform and getting the crease just right," Cristman reveals. "One thing we're taught, being security forces, that

when we're working the front gate, we're what the public sees, so we have to look really sharp." When she slips on her military threads, Cristman feels a renewed sense of responsibility. "It straightens your back a little," reports the eight-year Guard veteran, who was called to active duty in the aftermath of September 11th. Since then she's noticed people looking at her a little differently. "You get a little more respect," Cristman says, "especially from some of the older veterans and retirees." But not everyone gives props to soldiers. "Some of the kids with spiky hair give you looks," she reports. Cristman seems unfazed by their disapproval of her career, but she concedes that Burlington's Church Street — site of the occasional protest and peace march — "is actually one of the places I try to avoid when I'm in uniform."

Jody Harvey, ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER Animal Control Officer Jody Harvey doesn't change into her Burlington Police Department uniform until she gets to work at 8:30 a.m., but that doesn't stop the folks at Dunkin' Donuts from pestering her with animal sightings when she stops in for her morning coffee. "Every morning they have a question for me," she says. "I went in there the other day, I was still tired, and the woman asked me, 'What do you know about geese?'" Like soldiers, police officers wear uniforms to identify them as part of a group, but Harvey is unique. As Burlington's only Animal Control Officer, she is often on television or in the news and consequently has a higher profile than many public

servants. Harvey also wears a customized uniform. Her silver-tan color scheme stands out in a sea of blues. "I took it one step further," she adds. "I have a different patch on my shoulder which I designed. So there's only one in the country like mine." She is also the only officer in the department certified to wear a "chemical capture" patch, which indicates her knowledge of dart and blowgun tranquilizing techniques. She stopped wearing it, though, because it doesn't match her gold buckles and buttons. But though Harvey may be a cop of a different color, she still has to wear some standard-issue equipment, including a bullet-proof vest and a duty belt that can weigh up, to 10 pounds. The long list of her accoutrements includes a radio, a radio clip, a flashlight, capstun (pepper spray), a Leatherman tool and a straight baton. She

ou get a little more respect." — Vermont National Guard Military Police Officer Tam Cristman also carries ticket books, a pen and notebooks. After almost 13 years on the police force, Harvey sees the benefits of wearing a uniform, which for her is a choice. "My predecessor would show up on calls in jeans and a T-shirt," she remembers, "and I don't think people respected her as much. You could have all the knowledge in the world, but it's perception that people first acknowledge." Harvey's uniform also serves another very practical purpose. "I tend to get all

bloody and dirty," she says, "and it's nice to know I'm not ruining my own clothes.'

Joe Crosby, OPERATOR/TECHNICIAN Joe Crosby knows what his white jumpsuit is made of, but he's not going to tell you. The 45-year-old technician and operator at IBM's Essex plant won't divulge any company secrets. "They always put it this way," he ventures cautiously, "it's anti-static, so particles won't attach to it, and it's

the type of material that allows circulation." Like other IBM employees who manufacture microchips in the plant's "clean room," Crosby wears IBM-patented protective clothing. This includes a jumpsuit, a white hood, a veil that covers the nose and mouth, and boots and gloves. It stops short of covering the eyes, though Crosby hides his behind glasses. This outfit, however, protects the microchips, not the employees. Microchips are apparently very sensitive. "I don't actually touch any chips," he explains. Crosby arrives at the plant half an hour before the start of his shift to don his top-secret attire and enter his workspace. He must

complete a series of steps just to enter the room where he keeps his suit. And once inside, he has to find it. The IBM changing room houses thousands of suits. The room is divided into sections to make the suits easier to find, but they all look exactly the same. Each suit bears the nametag of its owner, but if you've forgotten where you left yours, confronting the rows of identical white garments can be as daunting as finding your Ford Explorer in a mall parking lot packed with SUVs. Beneath the jumpsuits, employees wear shorts and T-shirts, but has anyone ever gone commando? Crosby laughs and seems shocked by the question. "No, you can't do that!" he exclaims. "It's not like a locker-room environment. There are several hundred people at a time, men and women, getting ready! I think you could get fired if you did that." Crosby reports that IBM tries to make the clean-room experience as painless as possible. "They're pretty good about letting us wear what we want underneath," he says. Even so, he doesn't know of anyone who actually likes wearing the jumpsuit. But given the recent cutbacks, no one's complaining. Crosby has one redeeming thing to say about his uniform: It makes everyone the same. "A lot of times people judge other people by what they come to work in, like, 'Oh, that guy's got a bummy T-shirt on, and that guy's got an expensive one,'" Crosby says. He prefers to bypass the gossip and focus on his work. "You can't be judgmental about what people are wearing, because you're all dressed alike."

Jennifer Nantell, BARTENDER If you saw her in uniform at the post office or the bank, you might not guess that Jennifer Nantell is a bartender at T.G.I. Friday's in South Burlington. Like all Friday's waitstaff, Nantell wears dark jeans, polishable black shoes and a regulation black Polo shirt. A half-inch-wide band of alternating redand-white squares wraps around the sleeves and the buttons below the collar. It's subtle, almost non-descript, and Nantell likes it that way. Until about a year ago, T.G.I. Friday's encouraged its servers to express their personalities through their uniforms. The restaurant provided the black pants, the bright red-and-white striped shirts and the fire-engine-red suspenders. The servers provided buttons with whatever zany slogans they wished to display, and any kind of hat except a baseball cap. Some of the servers preferred the quirkier uniforms. Nantell, who started at Friday's three years ago, was not one of them. She says she didn't mind the suspenders, the buttons and the hats, but the shirts were awful. "People would come in to eat," she remembers, "and say, 'Do you have to wear that?'" If Nantell approves of the new uniforms, those who enjoyed the spunk and originality of the old Friday's garb will be sadly disappointed. The "Kiss me, I'm Irish!" buttons have been replaced by com pany-sponsored slogans such as "$750 in sales," "Teamwork" and the creepy hospitality citation, "Guest Obsession."

@ Nantell, who worked in IBM's clean room before she came to Friday's, says she doesn't mind dressing like everybody else. But she's still planning to go back to school so she won't have to wear a uniform anymore. "Bartending," she declares, mixing a drink, "only takes you so far." (Z)

the refreshing alternative

who's actually sweeter than Sweet Sue Allen, the press secretary — told the Legislative Joint Fiscal Committee that the Dean Team could wipe away $24 million of the problem with accounting tricks, fund transfers and onetime fixes. But the remainder — $ 11.4 million — would come from the state government spending less between now and the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2003. As expected, the biggest spending cuts proposed by the venerable Lady Katherine of Norwich — almost $7 million — were in the state agency that deals with the least fortunate among us — the good ol' safety net known as the Agency of Human Services. A cost-of-living increase for folks on SSI would be canceled. The welfare department, now known as the Department of Prevention, Assistance, Transition and Health Access (PATH), would see 22 positions eliminated. Parent-assistance programs would be cut back or shut down entirely. Poor folks with back pain would no longer be eligible for chiropractic care. And toothless Vermonters would have to put off getting a new set of choppers. The remaining $4 million in recommended cuts come out of the hides of a host of departments and entities. The Dean proposal applies a 1.76-percent cut almost across the board. The Department of Buildings and General Services would close the interstate rest areas in Randolph and eliminate three positions to save $200,000. The Education Department wouldn't hire a "Web master for its Internet site. The Agency of Transportation would save a half-million bucks by cutting highway grants to towns. The state police would cease snowmobile enforcement and the state auditor's office would lose a position. Vermont Public Television would save $10,000 of its $600,000 appropriation by continuing a hiring freeze, eliminating overtime and restricting outof-state travel. Even the UVM Morgan Horse Farm would feel the pinch — losing $88 out of its $5000 state grant. But not everyone got the Dean knife. Hoyt told lawmakers that "priorities" were considered in developing the "Deficit Avoidance Plan." Sec. Hoyt said the governor does not want to take a penny away from higher education, court diversion, travel and tourism, economic development, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, the Arts Council and the Commission on Women. Two points need making. First, Vermont state government is not alone in the world of red ink. Coast-to-coast, 45 states are in the red. It's called a recession. Maine's got a $100-million hole in its budget. In the Great

Lake Country of Michigan, it's a $1-billion problem. The boom times of the Clinton '90s are but a distant echo. The second thing to remember is that the Dean administration's proposed fix is just that — a proposal. It's not set in stone. The legislative branch gets the last word. State Sen. Rob Ide (RCaledonia), called Monday's Room 11 extravaganza "Phase 1 of a multi-phase negotiating process. There's obviously a lot of discomfort and unrest within the Joint Fiscal Committee on the administration's plan," said the Idester. "In many areas the answers seem to be more than half-baked, and we've got a lot of work to do to try to sort things through." Milk Money — It's not the Northeast Dairy Compact, but it's the next best thing: Checks from the new National Dairy Program will keep many borderline small farm operations in business. Thanks to some clutch play from Vermont's congressional delegation, dairy farmers across America — those with 140 cows or less — will be able to keep milking a little while longer. Thank you, St. Patrick. Thank you, Jeezum Jim. Thank you, Ol' Bernardo. Most non-dairy farmers probably couldn't care less. All consumers know is that fresh, wholesome milk is always available at the store and it's pretty darn cheap. Locally, a gallon of milk retails for about $3. Ever wonder how much of that actually goes to the farmer? Currently Class 1 milk brings the farmer $10.48 for 100 pounds, the so-called "floor price." That works out to just 90 cents per gallon for the folks who raise, feed and milk the cows. Giant monopoly-oriented processors like the infamous Texas-based Suiza Foods Corp. take the lion's share of the consumer dollar. Interesting, eh? And isn't it also interesting to note that when the dairy compact expired last fall, farmers were getting $1.37 a gallon? Since then, the floor price has dropped to what it was 40 years ago in the 1960s. Under the new federal program, farmers will receive 45 percent of the difference between the monthly floor price and a fixed price of $16.94 per hundredweight — the equivalent of $ 1.46 per gallon. And this week farmers can start signing up for payments retroactive to last December. The new system ain't perfect — critics decry it as just another wasteful federal subsidy — but it'll keep many a family on the farm. A fairer system would, as did the extinct Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact, make the giant corporate processors pay the farmer. But Texas-based Suiza Foods has — like Texas-based Enron Energy used to have — way too many "friends" on Capitol Hill. ®

SHARON JONES & THE DAPKINGS, DAP-DIPPIN' WITH... (Daptone Records, CD) — How retro-obsessed can music get? The recording industry seems to be gazing doe-eyed at the past and repackaging it as something new. The effect can be amusing — think The Strokes and their ilk. Sometimes humor is actually the goal; a new generation of recordbuying teens can gather together and chuckle about just how silly everybody looked back when "good music" was being made — say, in 1972. In any case, the trend is both baffling and sort of cool. Hell, if 'Zep never did it for you, at least you've got The White Stripes. But just when you thought the past had been sucked dry, along comes the soul-funk revival offered by Brooklyn's Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. With a level of retro-chic that blows away any of the current crop of copiers, Jones and co. rock with the dial set firmly on the mid-'70s. The perfectly themed packaging, courtesy of Daptone Records, expertly mimics a lost soul LP with pictures of the dapper DapKings striking poses. Even the C D itself is painted to resemble a vintage 45. Musically, the album's 11 songs follow a river of pure funk grooves set to Jones' stirring blues wail. From the horn-fueled call-

to-arms intro through the passionate "Got a Thing on My Mind," the disc pulsates furiously. Most of the cuts — such as the infectious "The Dap-Dip" — are straight-up dance-floor classics, bursting with spiking horns and elastic basslines. However, tunes like the late-night groover "Ain't It Hard" bring the boil down to a slow, languid simmer. No matter how head-scratching the concept, Dap-Dippin... is a great disc. I admit I don't quite get the shtick — why do a remarkably rendered '70s soul throwback? But it's impossible not to get swept up in Jones' sweaty visions. The record is well executed, from cover art to each greasy note. And, thanks to the helpful diagram enclosed, I even got my roommate doin' the "Dap-Dip" across the living room carpet. Sharon Jones & the DapKings should not be missed, this Monday at Club Metronome. — Ethan Covey

while Double K laid down the majority of scratchwork. Both provide lyrics. You won't find any keyboards or overproduction here, as the crate-digging duo work mostly in the wax and drum-loop media. Although it takes a little time to hit full stride — and a few tracks had me wondering what would come next — "O.S. T". plays as a lighthearted slew of party jams with more tumbling jazz rhythms than banging beats. "The Suite for Beaver, Part 2" is the album's best party track, while the crafty "Hang Loose" peppers an .old-school Sugar Hill Gang sound with more retro references than a "Sanford and Son" marathon. Although "Hang" is all about trying to "up jump the boogie," the bulk of the disc aims at analog style, not just vintage vibes. Unique lyrics also make the album independently minded. "Not a Lil' Bow Wow, I rock the rap Pow Wow/Kids though they're now, they follow me like the Tao," claims the duo on "The Outrage," a music-industry bash that finds the "The P" at their lyrical best. 'Acid Raindrops," an introspective verse for blunt smokers, starts with a Mr. Rogers sound bite and ends revealing the personal behind the personality: "We learnin' life's lesson while we blaze this herbal essence/A man but still a child and I have so many questions."

The group has maintained a somewhat modest "backpacker" artist status in the U.S. (they were once paid in porn for a small show in Lake Tahoe), but heavy rotation of older material in the UK has recently brought them well-deserved attention both abroad and Stateside. But don't expect to see PUTS on M T V Cribs anytime soon, as their decidedly carefree sway and style comes from a bedroom studio in a scene where "the only ice rocked is in glasses." The anti-bling vibe of People Under the Stairs reminds me of the old-school Native Tongue posse, resonating more from musical inspiration than monetary aspiration. PUTS balances the requisite braggadocio with honest moments like "Tales of Kid Drunkadelic," a look at heavy drinking habits. "Montego Slay" offers a reflective and decidedly melodic song at just the right time in the chunky 70plus minutes and 20-plus tracks of hip-hop banter. By album's end, "O.S. T." blows a conventional but welcome breeze into the modern rap scene. If you dig Jurassic 5 and Blackalicious, step up to People Under the Stairs. The P join Brooklyn's J-Live for a display of classic b-boy styles at Higher Ground this Saturday. — Jeremy Kent

PE0PLE UNDER THE STAIRS, "O.S.T." (Om Records, CD) — With their third effort, L.A.'s People Under the Stairs — the native duo Thes One and Double K — further define the outer reaches of new-school hip-hop through their lo-fi, classically flavored "O.S. 7!""Thes One produced most of the new tracks,

The Return

H FOR THE RECORD Lis Harvey has taken to the road in support of her new disc Topography with a tour that just might set a Guinness World Record — she plans to hit all 50 states in 61 days. The 24-year-old Wisconsin native brings that energy to the stage, too, with the politically charged narratives of her "intellicoustic" folk. Harvey's second stop is the Burlington Coffeehouse this Friday.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

Stupidity is making a comeback. Not since the days when Joel Silver ruled Hollywood and muscle-bound subliterates vied for supremacy on the big screen has the industry spawned a phenomenon as garish and confounding as Vin Diesel. Curiosity brought me to the skinheaded action star's latest release, XXX. After reading countless articles and seeing dozens of TV profiles that hailed the actor as The Next Big Thing, I felt it my film-critic duty to investigate what all the hubbubs about. Somehow, I managed to miss Pitch Black and The Fast and the Furious, so this was my first opportunity to behold the big V's unique charisma and screen appeal. I have to say, the experience left me baffled, half-deaf and fearful for the future of Western culture. XXX is the loudest motion picture ever made. Despite that fact, I found it nearly impossible to make out what its star was saying much of the time. In addition to his super-pumped physique and impressive accumulation of tattoos, the 35-year-old performer has a speaking voice suggestive of Lou Ferrigno after a marathon dental appointment. Diesel plays an obnoxious enthusiast of extreme sports who is infamous for videotaping daredevil pranks such as stealing a politicians car, driving it at high speed off a bridge and parachuting to safety. Naturally, when problems arise in Prague, the U.S. government sends Samuel L. Jackson to sign Vin up for superspy duty. Even in the heyday of inane '80s action films they didn't make them this dumb. Marton Csokas chews the Eastern European scenery big-time as the evil mastermind behind an organization known as Anarchy 99. That's right. This isn't even a parody of spy films and it's got an evil mastermind! The members of Anarchy 99 are a fun-loving bunch. After a hard day of developing biological weapons, they party like rock stars in Csokas' sprawling, cliffperched castle ("It's time for the beetches!"). Diesel is able to infiltrate the group and buddy up to its boss primarily on the basis of his rep as a daredevil prankster — though the picture fails to explain how neo-Nazi Czech terrorists would know about his exploits — and his ability to quote the lyrics to certain anti-establishment punk-rock songs. While undercover, Diesel discovers that Csokas intends to destroy the world by launching little missiles filled with poison gas from a dopey rocketspeedboat deal scientists have constructed in his castle's secret dungeon. The picture also fails to explain how the madman plans to attack parts of the planet that can't be accessed via the river that runs through Prague. The audience knows that hardly matters, though, since it's a given Vin will wind up doing some extreme boat riding and world saving before all's said and done. Which raises the question: Given that all this overamped, pubescent, cartoon nonsense has been said and done to death, why are studios paying Vin Diesel millions to do it again now? The consensus among film-industry types seems to be that action heroes like Schwarzenegger, Willis and Stallone have gotten too old for this sort of thing, and have left a void for performers like Diesel and The Rock to fill. That may account for the fact that Diesel has a job. It doesn't begin to explain where Hollywood executives got the idea that audiences want to relive the car chases, shoot-outs, gratuitous explosions and preposterous plots of action extravaganzas from two decades ago. Consequently, I am no closer to comprehending the Vin Diesel phenomenon than I was prior to viewing XXX. From where I sit, the guy's got all the screen presence of Andrew Dice Clay on steroids. I would sooner invest money in Enron than one more minute of my time in watching his work. This isn't, as the actor has suggested, a new kind of spy movie for a new generation. It's a dumb kind of spy movie pandering to a dumbed-down generation. Though, come to think of it, maybe that's the plan: Millions of the undereducated, underemployed and underassimilated need never feel unrepresented at the cinema again. They have their Moron King. ®

THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH The latest from Eddie Murphy isn't actually the latest from Eddie Murphy. This sci-fi laugher about a lunar nightclub owner trying to stop the mob from muscling in on his business was shot a full year before Showtime, and has been pushed back repeatedly since its original release date in April 2002. Why do I have the feeling it's going to make Showtime seem like a good idea?

DIRTY DEALINGS AT FAHC Say what you will about him, but Peter Freyne's columns are usually right on the money. And [the July 31] contribution is no exception, as he exposes the festering sores of Fletcher Allen Health Care's internal corporate workings to the light of day. One thing, though: Was that figure of a half-milliondollar annual revenue stream for Mary Fanny Hospital correct? Seems mighty low to me. In any case, we can only hope that the bigwigs who orchestrated such dirty dealings at the hospital will soon be made to face the music. — Russ Weis, Fletcher NO JAH LOVE Seven Days [wrote] a preview of the Vermont Reggae Fest ["7 Selects," July 24]; this is a newsworthy item of how the famous fest has been sabotaged by Essex County officials. My friend came here from Philadelphia to attend the fest, and she likened the police presence — and their unbridled harassment of fest-goers — to the tactics used by Philly's police. She was also disappointed and will never go again. It ought to be clear to the state of Vermont that their future revenue from festivals will come to a complete halt if they follow the lead of Essex. I have never paid to be so closely watched as at this year's Reggae Fest, where there were enough police — imposed by the town's rules — to control 10,000 people (although they were only selling 8000 tickets), for a quiet group of only 2000 in attendance. As a young mother, I tried to protect my children from witnessing police abuse, but had a cop come, uninvited, and sit on our blanket and insist on looking through mommy's sack of hand-rolled tobacco. "Who was that? What did he want?" my son asked. And the cop's implication — rudist of all — was that he was going to find something and "take away the baby"... We also observed others being searched and even arrested on more than two occasions. Moreover, at the entrance, we literally had to get everyone out of the car so that the sorely embarrassed festival staff could appease the pigs and search our car... Trying to explain these things to a 4-year-old isn't easy... It certainly is a contrary image for a little boy who is not permitted to play with toy guns to have seen so many arrogant, righteous gun slingers at a peaceful fest. I was even questioned when, with exasperation, I went to my car to get a baby bottle. Whose car was it, could I prove it was my car, on and on... And what about the music? I don't know, there were often four cops at one time blocking our view, but who is going to ask a cop to ' move? So now, the folks who put on the fest will have to pay for all the "security" that the town of Essex required for 10,000 people... Next year's fest is already doomed in my eyes, at least on an economic level. I, as well as numerous others I spoke to at the fest will not be returning. I am afraid this is the police-state

of affairs for festivals to come, compliments of Essex County, in a very Bush/Cheney/Ashcroft kind of way. It was not the kind of Saturday my children and I had in mind. Jah love? I didn't feel it. — Liz McGowen Waitsfield GRAPHIC GAFF As much as I enjoyed your cover feature, "What's So Funny?" [Seven Days, July 17], which shed some light on some of the growing art to be found in the comics medium and the round table discussion between the fine local cartoonists, leave it to your resident smug cynic/film critic Rick Kisonak to poke holes in the legitimacy of comics as literature and an art form. In his review of Road to Perdition, which was based on the graphic novel by Max Collins and Richard Press Rayner, Kisonak admits, "I can't say I understand the difference" between a comic book and a graphic novel." In spite of this ignorance of the genre, Kisonak feels free to dismiss graphic novels as "glorified comic books," [and to suggest] that all the film's flaws lie in the fact "you've got a graphic novel as a starting point, not a book." In his past movie reviews, Kisonak has often condemned movies by referring to them as being of "comic book" quality, being of the popular misconception shared by the general public that all comics are low-brow, moronic schlock read exclusively by children, morons and social misfits without a life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Comics have evolved as a storytelling medium to encompass a vast plethora of stories and subject matter, and some rival much of what passes for movies, television and literature being produced today... Graphic novels often deal with more mature subject matter as the format allows — not necessarily pornographic, just ideas above the usual superhero slugfest. Some of this was pointed out in Susan Green's thoughtful article, "SitDown Comics." Some examples of comic storytelling in graphic novel form Mr. Kisonak should check out include Art Speigelman's Maus, Will Eisner's A Contract With God and Other Tenement Stories, Frank Miller's The Dark Night Returns, and Watchmen, by Alan More and Dave Gibbon... Rick ought to think twice about shooting his mouth off on a subject he knows nothing about. — Michael Camp Winooski CHAMPLAIN COLLEGE SPRAWL The timing of Seven Days' puff piece on Champlain College ["Best Laid Plans?" July 24] was curious. So was the lack of any effort to solicit the views of those who might not agree that a $30 million construction campaign to expand a college campus further into a residential area is a good idea. Those people would be many of Champlain's neighbors, whose tolerance for more students, more cars, more programs and more buildings is growing thin. Donald Maurice Kreis chose to take Champlain's word that its Act 250 permit is "delayed on procedural grounds." He might well have read the Environmental Board's decision, which ordered Champlain to give statutory notice of its permit application to all 200+ neighbors of the campus, instead of the six that were originally notified. It also squelched Champlain's effort to streamline the permit process by labeling construction of its $10 million, 23,000-square-foot business center a "minor amendment."

Kreis could also have spoken to some of the people who are directly affected every day by Champlain's quiet takeover of a family neighborhood. Lastly, Kreis could have asked city officials why these major projects, which appear to flaunt zoning and parking ordinances, get very little scrutiny at the city level and are routinely approved. Is it because Champlain is a major taxpayer and thus "deserves" special treatment? There is a story here, but it has yet to be told by Seven Days. — Lucy Totten Burlington ART RIP-OFF [July 31] a Natalie Huitric wrote in about the "tasteless ad" that had been running for a couple of weeks, created by Red Square (a girl smoking a cigarette in a kiddy pool). This is actually not a "tasteless ad" whipped up by Red Square; it is a very famous image by photographer Mary Ellen Mark. The photograph is copyrighted and appears on Ms. Mark's Web site as well as in her book and exhibit entitled, Mary Ellen Mark, American Beauty. Red Square reran the ad the following week with the copy, "Light... Er... Lighten Up," and digitally manipulated the cigarette out of the girl's hand. Both the act of publishing that photograph in an ad that does not give credit to the photographer and then manipulating the photographer's image without permission is a crime. I happen to love this photograph (in context, for the stunning documentary portrait it is), but more than that, I myself am a photographer. I am particularly sensitive to this act and understand if advertisers disrespect artists by illegally using their copyrighted art, artists will be left uncompensated and their work unrecognized. If this goes unchecked and the public and publishers are unaware of misuse, artists will be unable to survive on their art. So, Red Square, I am not going to "lighten up" on working to create a livable wage for artists. I hope that you reconsider your ad campaigns and support the artists you are ripping off. Give us some credit. — Annie Van Avery Montpelier

Dear Cecil, In 19941 read an article in the British music journal The "Wire that claimed compact discs have a life expectancy of 10 years. I have seen references to an article in Scientific American making the same claim and heard that this has been confirmed many times by other studies. The only thing is, uh, I've had a few CDs for more than 10 years, and they play fine. So what exactly is the deal? Does the speed ofdegradation have to do with how often the CD is played? I mean, most of the time, my CDs are sitting in their cases on my shelf. Please tell me whether I should be getting my Sonny Rollins fix from some other recording technology (like, say, vinyl). — Michael R. Chicago I got a lot of letters along these lines in the late 1980s and didn't dismiss the idea of "CD rot" out of hand. But I suspected that predictions of imminent CD meltdown were exaggerated — and time has shown they were. Physical survival of recordings is only part of the story, though. The real threat is loss of the technology needed to play them back. Most people think they'll be able to enjoy their CDs for a lifetime, and maybe they will. But good luck playing your eighttrack tapes. This point is well made in the Scientific American article you mentioned, an updated version of which may be found at www.clir.org/ pubs/archives/ensur ing.pdf. Author Jeff Rothenberg of the Rand Corporation included a photograph showing a replica of the Rosetta stone along with various digital media from the past 50 years, including punch cards, punched paper tape, 5.25-inch and 8-inch floppy disks (remember 8inch floppy disks, gramps?), and a large multiplatter disk from an old mainframe. The Rosetta stone is still readable after 2200 years, but the digital media are not — not because the media have deteriorated, but because the machines needed to play them back have disappeared, for all practical purposes. Rothenberg was writing about information technology, but his argument applies to entertainment media too. Take those vinyl records you mention. I've got boxes of them in the attic, right next to my old turntable. I haven't played a record in 10 years. The little

researchers have never seen one. I may drag one out to show them, as I might show them what a rotarydial telephone and a typewriter look like, but unless they get into antiquities they'll never own one. Vinyl technology isn't gone, but it's surely slipping away, and with it anything recorded in that medium that never made the transition to CD. But let's get back to your question. You figure CD players will last your lifetime (although technology offering "better than CD audio" is already available and may not be backward compatible forever). You're more worried about the disks. The longevity of CDs and other optical storage media is controversial. CD manufacturers generally claim their products will last 100 years and possibly much longer, based on "accelerated aging" tests. (Typically these involve subjecting the media to heat.) Skeptics say five to 10 years is more like it, but that seems alarmist where nonrewritable CDs are concerned. The "CD rot" story apparently sprang from substandard disks sold by a CD bootlegger in Italy, in which the aluminum oxidized after a short time. That wont or at least shouldn't happen with a properly made CD, nor will such a disk wear out with repeated use (although scratches and other abuse may cause it to fail). Then again, Rothenberg says five to 59 years, which gives you an idea of the uncertainty here.

that CD-Rs will last 70 to 100 years or more, CD-RWs perhaps 30 years. But the technology is much newer. Even a casual glance at the literature suggests that extraordinary precision is required and that the different dyes used have different longevity and playback characteristics. Already I find that CD-RWs won't work in all CD players, and you have to wonder what will happen a decade or two down the road. The truth is, nobody knows. "There is considerable disagreement among experts about how long a given medium can be expected to last, and experience seems to imply that the answers can be quite different depending on storage conditions, etc. Furthermore, different batches of media from different manufacturers can apparently have rather different lifetimes, so narrowing these estimates is difficult," Rothenberg tells me. Consider a storage medium considered cutting edge 50 years ago — magnetic tape. Its now recognized that tape degrades after 20 years, maybe sooner, unless you're extremely careful. Some tapes used for the 1960 U.S. census became unreadable and the data was almost lost. (Luckily they had a backup on microfilm, which supposedly will last 500 years, although even microfilm has doubters.) For all our modern advances, by far the most durable storage technology ever devised remains the written word, as recorded in stone, papyrus and clay.

Rewritable CDs are more uncertain still. Common wisdom is

comeback queens SeLeCTs by Tom Huntington

14 -

What do you do if you're part of a pioneering world-music group that loses its longtime lead vocalist, original guitarist and producer all in the same year? If you're South Africa's celebrated Mahotella Queens, you mourn for the appropriate amount of time, then gather some new musical blood and get back to doin' what you've done for nearly four decades. In the Queens' case, that's singing and dancing their hearts out to the bouncy and infectious rhythms of their homebrewed mbaqanga blend of township jazz and a cappella harmonies. Still sassy after all these years, the sixtysomething Queens keep bringing on the joy. Mahotella Queens. Wednesday, August 21. Metronome, Burlington, 8 p.m. $20. Info, 865-4563.

manila extract A rich tradition of arpeggios on the Philippine archipelago? "Oh, yeah," says Willie Docto, a Filipino management consultant and violinist in Waterbury. "There are many classical musicians there and a very fine symphony orchestra in Manila." When Docto invited buddy David Johnson — an American flutist who has called the Philippine capital home for seven years — to perform in Vermont, Johnson in turn invited his friend, acclaimed Filipino concert pianist Jovianney Emmanuel Cruz. Vermont cellist Robert Blais adds his oomph to sonatas by Rachmaninoff and Franck. "From Manila to Montpelier" chamber music concert. Friday, August 16. First Baptist Church, Burlington, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, August 17. Unitarian Church, Montpelier, 7:30 p.m. $5-10. Info, 244-8354.

When playwright/performer Lisa D'Amour and director Katie Pearl create a show, they like to cozy up to the crowd. The experimental theater hostesses also seem allergic to traditional settings: They've been setting up shop across the country in groves of trees, parking garages and under bridges. Whichever site they settle on at the Hop, their weeklong workshop will include movement, music, writing and installation art and will then show the public what they and their new friends have produced. "We really believe that the audience is necessary for a lot of the experience that we create in these performances," says D'Amour. "The performance can't happen if . they're not there." Lisa D'Amour performance installation. Saturday, August 17. Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., 2 p.m. Free. Info, 603-646-2422.

"My soul is going on a trip," says 14-year-old Marie Antoinette as she travels from Austria to France to meet her fiance, the gluttonous Louis XVI. "I want to talk about her. Why would anyone ever want to talk about anything else?" So starts Versailles, the impressionistic fifth novel in which acclaimed Calais author Kathryn Davis tells the queen's tragic tale from wedding bed to chopping block and beyond. "I was a pretty girl," says Marie. "I glittered like the morning star. My red lips would open and it was anyone's guess what would come out." Kathryn Davis reads Versailles. Tuesday, August 20. Bear Pond Books, Montpelier, 7 p.m. Free. Info, 229-0774.

as the crow flies

W h o says female rockers can't have mid-life crises? After hitting rock bottom while recording her star-studded, summer soundtrack CD, C'mon, C'mon, 40-year-old Sheryl Crow almost flew the coop. Instead, she got some perspective and kicked out the jams on the sunny side of life. The result? Classic rock with an oldschool crunch and craft that would make Steve Miller and Stevie Nicks proud. "I feel like these are songs I would like listening to if I was a kid who had just gotten my driver's license and who was out cruising the strip with my friends," says Crow. One day the Jeep World Outside Fest cruises to southher own wings. August 18. Center, 862-5300.

An untitled painting by Jim Leveiller

he'quest for open spaces may be a uniquely Western theme in visual art. In traditional Chinese painting distances are often shrouded in an impenetrable mist. In Islamic art the landscape is a garden and spaces are more intimate. But in Western painting, long, unbroken horizon lines are often crystal-clear. The horizon invites the eye to venture forth and seek an illusory location beyond the actual space of the picture plane. This month at Burlington's Penny Cluse Cafe, Jim Leveillee's exhibition, "Small Open Space," captures the expansive quality inherent in horizon lines even on pieces that

are only 12 inches square. All 28 oil-on-masonite paintings are untitled. Leveillee is an abstractionist rather than a landscape painter, but the variegated bands of color he so deftly creates are clearly inspired by flat plains and calm oceans. Though the entire collection in the cafe presents many variations on the horizontal theme, a group of seven pieces at the left of the counter in the main dining room is a compact survey of the artist's works. In the far left painting, a rusty red fills the upper two-thirds of the piece; the lower third consists of diverse bands of green. The darkest value is So,

the green line at the horizon. Leveillee often uses dark values to indicate the focal point of the small but deep spaces that are his trademark. To the right of the end piece is a study in whites. The hues of the underpainting are reds, as seen faintly in the upper areas of the piece. In this painting, Leveillee's brush is also more dynamic than in many of his others. He has not just swept long horizontal strokes across the panel but scumbled with a diagonal motion. The horizon is about halfway up the image, so that variation of his brushwork keeps the piece from becoming too static overall. The two middle pieces of this group have some of the most vibrant colors in the show. At left is a work in blue and green with a very high, dark horizon, and to its right is a red oxide painting with a rare plateau-like bump on the horizon. Complementary colors are important in both these pieces. The one with the plateau has blended areas of rose, crimson and pale yellows, but a subtle range of greens judiciously plays off the dominant hue, and the plateau is actually yellowgreen. In the blue piece, orange plays a similar role — a nice sliver of it provides fiery counterpoint in the lower area of the painting. To the right of those two pieces is a more abstract work with less reference to the landscape. Leveillee has placed bands of white at the top, bottom and middle. The narrowest band is the middle one, the focal point. Thin strata of other colors are also closest to the center, while darker and fatter bands are farther away. Leveillee's two pieces at the right of this group are monochromatic works in gray. The left of this pair is almost like a Dutch landscape, with a very low horizon and a high sky. This painting follows the formula of dark value precisely at the horizon, deepening the space. In the painting at far right the darkest values are at the bottom edge, with another band in the bottom third. This flattens the space somewhat and makes it less referential. If there is a problem with Leveillee's "small open spaces," it is strategic rather than technical or aesthetic. Where does he go from here? An obvious answer is bigger, but then he would run the risk of rehashing Rothko. Leveillee is a perceptive painter and it would be a shame if he just kept doing the same thing or became a production painter, cranking out works like a potter who only makes coffee mugs. An artist as good as he is would be well ~ advised to take a few more risks and to broaden his theoretical horizons. ®

BY SUSAN GREEN

p a r t a r t ? Here's the most frequently asked question a film critic is likely to encounter in Burlington: "When are we getting that art house?" People who make that inquiry are referring to the two-screen venue that will be part of the Lake and College Street Redevelopment Project. The complex is scheduled to include shops, a restaurant, an inn, offices and cultural space — a blackbox theater for plays and Cinema Paradiso for motion pictures. "We're fully permitted and ready to start," reports Melinda Moulton, whose Main Street Landing Company is behind the ambitious urban design. "As soon as we sell our 35-room inn to an interested party — which could be this month — we'll go into the ground. We hope to begin construction this October, which means it'll probably be completed by October 2004." Moulton's company plans to lease Paradiso, with 120 seats in each screening room, to Jeff Thompson of Burlington. "He is a great guy," she says. "I love his ideas for the place." The 31-year-old IBM logistics technician is digging into his own pockets and wooing investors in order to raise the $300,000 he

r^m mmsm.

"I've made some connections with Son1 Classics and Warner Bros., but I think art-house films will be tough. There's never i'any rhyme or reason to which ones do well.'^l

needs to make movie magic. "I have to pay for the equipment, the screen, the seating, all the start-up costs," says Thompson. "I want high-back seats that lean back some, with four-inch cushions and arm rests that flip up. That way, couples can squoosh together a little bit. For families, flip up a few and you've got a couch." Family fare is also important to the Milton natives vision for Cinema Paradiso, named after the 1989 Italian Oscar-winning film. "It would be great to have some movies that only cost $10 for an entire family. It'll be an art house at some point. I won't be showing first-run stuff. I don't want to compete with Hoyts or Merrill's," Thompson explains, referring to the area's two largest commercial exhibitors. It was Hoyts that gave him the initial inspiration for his planned enterprise. When he went to see the re-release of the original Star Wars in 1997, Thompson was upset that Cinema 9 on Shelburne Road lacked the Digital Surround Sound available in other cities. He did some research on the funding and real estate that would be required to establish his own theater. Thompson even set up a table on the

Church Street Marketplace to conduct a public survey, asking passersby to speculate on their ideal movie-going experiences. Nothing much happened with Thompson's dreams until a few years ago when he hooked up with Main Street Landing, which had proposed a mixed-use development along the waterfront side of Battery Street. The theater will be across the road from and just south of the Radisson Hotel. Adamant about installing full digital capability, Thompson hopes Paradiso also can be "THX-certified" — a technological designation named for another futuristic George Lucas flick, THX1138, which came out in 1971. "That certification involves everything from finely calibrated soundproofing to the size of the screen to the type of lens on the projector," Thompson explains. He and his brother Mike are going to build the ticket booth and concession stand. "Cinema Paradiso will be family-owned and operated," vows Thompson, who intends to do all the booking himself. "I've made some connections with Sony Classics and Warner Bros., but I think art-house films will be

tough. There's never any rhyme or reason to which ones do well." His own recent favorites in this genre were discovered on the shelves of a video store: Children of Heaven is a 1999 Iranian drama about two poor children forced to share one pair of shoes. A Chef in Love, the tale of a French cook who ventures to Soviet Georgia in the 1920s, came out six years ago. Without the publicity or TV trailers of a Hollywood blockbuster, independent and foreign-language selections can easily fall through the cracks. Thompson is considering a newsletter — perhaps like the informative publication put out by the Savoy in Montpelier — and a Web site. He's also thinking about offering memberships. ' Thompson has told the Vermont International Film Festival, which takes place every fall in venues throughout the Queen City, "that they can pretty much have the theater then." Repertory, or second-run, classics will figure prominently on the Cinema Paradiso schedule, Thompson says. "I might even do a Star Wars marathon." ®

THE PUZZLE I

As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to predict. Her likes and dislikes change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in mind that Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them—how they're spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or what's inside them.)

The Mental Health Education Initiative OF CHITTENDEN COUNTY

Would you like to tell others what your experiences have been like?

A nostalgic type, Fannie prefers THEN to NOW. She may REGRET a few things, but she won't OBSESS about them. HOOVER dam is an eyeful, but she's more impressed by the ASWAN. A BEAGLE is cute, but a POMERANIAN is a bit precious.

SUMMER SALE!

Fannie finds an IDOL repulsive, but she's fascinated by a GRAVEN image.

HUGE SAVINGS 25-70% OFF Select Items August 13th to 17th

On a boat she'd rather hang out at the STERN than the STEM. Of the two explorers, LEWIS was less cool than CLARK. When she wants to get rid of pesky kids, she says SCOOT, not SCRAM.

Sheet Sets,• Towels, Throw Pillows and more!

She may STEAL your heart but she'll never BORROW a nickel. If Fannie's pissed she won't WHINE, but she's been known to HOWL. Difficulty rating for this puzzle: easy to medium. If you're stuck, see the upside-down HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 32b. So much for Fickle Fannie's tastes this week. Next week she'll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes. •dvjf v asnvo notpuv ivy upqijfo poujj :INIH 3INNVJ H T O I I

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19):

There is an infinity of possible answers to the question "What is the meaning of life?" Last week, the meaning of life for me was embodied by a drunken Zen master who came to me in a dream and drawled, "Think with your heart and feel with your head." This week brought a new answer: In a San Francisco cafe I found a bar napkin on which someone had drawn a threepanel cartoon depicting a butterfly crawling into a cocoon and being transformed into a caterpillar. For you this week, Aries, the answer to "What is the meaning of life?" is an image that came to me as I meditated on your astrological omens: On a dry lake bed, a dozen long-stemmed red roses rise out of an ancient Greek vase as a thunderbolt cracks through the sky and a downpour begins.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Tune in, please, to all the nagging itches that fester in the back of your mind and at the bottom of your heart. For now, do not attempt to scratch them; do not judge them; do not visualize them as frustrated desires whose purpose is to drive you mad with longing. Instead, Taurus, simply regard those nagging itches with reverence and curiosity. Give them room to breathe and allow them to speak their truths. Surrender to the fullness of the emotions they stir. It may take an hour or it may take a few days, but if you persist in ? this approach, the nagging itches will become your brilliant guides. They will instruct you as to what questions you most need to ask and they will show you how to move in the direction of the blessed answers.

dilettante in a field where you have the potential to become a flaming master? If you answered yes to any of those questions, now is a perfect moment to kick yourself in the butt. Waiting for fate to do the kicking for you would be a first-class goof-up.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): There are few things more poignant to an astrologer than a Crab without a secret. You Cancerians need tantalizing enigmas in order to feel fully alive. You thrive in the auras of smoldering mysteries and you love to explore hidden treasure in private. Though at times your fascination with the adult version of peekaboo is a way to preserve your delusions, just as often it's a healthy expression of your playful nature and a wise recognition of how elusive and ever shifting the "objective truth" can be. I've described this in detail, my dears, because you are dangerously low on secrets right now. It's time to get filled up. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): My acquaintance Renata is a sculptor who creates animals from marble and limestone. She likes to say that her art consists of liberating the figures that are buried inside the stone. She doesn't build a statue, then, as much as she carves away the stuff that's obscuring it. I recommend that you borrow Renata's approach, Leo. The thing you love and need and deserve already exists, whole and complete. All you have to do is eliminate the inessential elements that are keeping it unavailable to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many smart, educated people think astrology is bunk perpetrated by quacks. For any stargazer with an ego, this threatens to be depressing. We want to be loved and appreciated like

everyone else. On the other hand, I've found that being in a field that gets so little respect has for the most part been liberating. It has been impossible for me to get all puffed up with overbearing pride; I've had to learn to practice astrology primarily for the joy it brings me, not as a means of seeking recognition. In a backhanded way, then, a seemingly demoralizing curse has become an invigorating boon. I predict that you, Virgo, will soon harvest an analogous mutation.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Real Thing has arrived. Maybe not the Ultimate, Climactic, Last-YouAll-Your-Life Real Thing, but who knows? Even if it is just a temporary Real Thing, it's still got a lot of rich transformations to give you. I'd like to inquire, therefore, why you have not yet let it fully into your life? Is it because it has a superficial resemblance to a counterfeit "Real Thing" from your past? Or, in a world teeming with false promises and spin doctors and crafty sales pitches, are you finding it hard to recognize a truly genuine article? Pinch yourself, Libra.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You Scorpios are the most strategic sign of the zodiac. Like chess masters, you're often thinking 10 moves ahead. At the same time, your ability to concentrate on what's right in front of you is almost scarify potent; your < piercing attention resembles a magnifying glass focusing the suns rays on a bug on the sidewalk. This combination may make you difficult to read and impossible t#tetitmaneuver: You can be intensely zeroed in on the present, yet furioas^^Hbning the past and future for clues on how to take maximum advantage.of all the possibilities. Everything I just described is currently at a peak expression. May

you use it to create abundant good works for all concerned.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarius comedienne Margaret Cho is my hero. Her film, "Notorious C.H.O.," is the bravest work of art I've seen in years. She bares her soul ruthlessly, unveiling raw admissions about herself that would permanently embarrass most people. Yet there's also an unselfconscious grace in her spectacle; she avoids drawing us into the fantasy that were participating in naughty voyeurism. She's authentic, not "bad." She's telling the truth, not manipulating us into worshiping her outrageous ego. Best of all, "Notorious C.H.O." is orgasmically funny. I belly-laughed so vehemently that the muscles in my abdomen were fatigued halfway through the movie. I'm describing Cho's accomplishment in detail because you now have the ability to tap into the uniquely Sagittarian power she has harnessed with such mastery.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Gaga advisory! Your imminent future may contain unexpected quests and over-the-top exploits that alarm control freaks and big babies. You could have extravagant encounters with poignantly liberating sexuality and novel emotions that alter your brain chemistry forever. The controversial mysteries you naturally attract will prick some people on the raw edge between their desires and their fears. I suggest you provide clear warnings to anyone who may be offended by moist little miracles and ... huge flaming magic. -j^

house where a Sweaty Prayerstyle rave is unfolding. My mind has been melted and my chakras steam-cleaned by the pounding grooves inside. Up walk three manic creatures I happen to know, Aquarians all, their eyes popping and jaws flapping. My psychic probe determines they're buzzed not on any drug but on the natural high-octane frenzy of their nervous systems. I swear I can see the vapor trails. I ask if they'll help me do astrological research about the state of the Aquarian psyche. The next half hour passes in a dazzle as these virtuoso talkers regale me with convulsive stories of reconciliation. One has just reunited with her lost love, another with a lost part of his own mind and the third with a lost cause that's now no longer lost. What's your reconciliation, O Seeker of Unity?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): My first suggestion is that you gently remove your head from the sand. Next, get your hand unstuck from the cookie jar. Then figure out why your shoes are tied together, and do something about it. Finally, Pisces, I'd like you to reach around to your back and rip off the sign that reads "KICK ME," which has been taped there for a while. Before you know it your strength and courage will return, and you'll be primed to fix the less obvious glitches in your fate. For instance, you could dismantle the trap you set for yourself last February, then move on to dissolving a pocket of unjustified self-hatred.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): So I'm taking a break from danC-*" ing outside the San Francisco ware-

Dear Solo, It's never hopeless. The tact that men and women trust you enough to seek your advice shows that you are not only kind, but someone people consider wise, dependable and comfortable to be around. The distance between friendship and romantic love is not as wide as it may seem — even if you do feel as if you've been waiting forever. Spanning that gap may simply be a matter of not just hoping someone smiles at you, but initiating that first smile. And joining interest groups or taking out personal ads really does work. Best of luck to you.
