SUPPORTING JENNIFER In response to the letters to the editor concerning the Burlington Womens Council, this letter is written in support of Jennifer Matthews, director of the Council. I have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer on many different ' issues concerning women, includ ing pay inequities, same-gender marriages and child support. Jennifer is knowledgeable and dedi cated to these issues. Some have said that Jennifers involvement with women’s issues is “politically motivated.” I have seen nothing less than sincere care and concern about women’s issues. She puts forth effort towards triparti sanship. It is important to open the door to those from different politi cal parties and to work together to support women. I thank you, Jennifer, for the heartfelt work that you have done and will continue to do to improve the lives of Vermont women. — Virginia Renfrew Warren

EXPOSING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT Peter Freyne’s “Jurorgate” (Inside Track, July 23) was right on target. Thank you, Seven Days and Peter. His courageous coverage of the federal drug war here in Vermont should wake up a lot of people to the damage that is being done to America by Prohibition. The blind and ruthless screwAmerica policy of the so-called jus tice department must be exposed. Some Vermont communities have lost good citizens. I miss my good friend Billy [Greer], as does his wife and children. But where would we all be if the power-hungry “justice department” robs us of our personal freedoms and basic Constitutional rights, like freedom of the press? — Bob Melamede S. Burlington (Bob Melamede was a congressional candidate for the Vermont Grassroots Party) WRONG VALUE SYSTEM Your July 30 cover story [“Noble Savage”] dis turbed me. It endorsed a value system that I didn’t think you were about. The article glorified the life of Ted Riehle, a Rush Limbaugh-listening, self-declared “insensitive Republican bastard.” Reading this piece was like watching an episode of “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” Riehle’s son’s line (in reference to his dad owning

an island) was also disturbing: ?You don’t have :‘ Brownies selling you cookies door-to-door.” Is this a positive way to live — closed off from and uncon cerned about anyone but oneself? The article seemed out of character for your publication, which I think of as Burlington’s alterna tive to “business as usual.” — Lisa Bayer Burlington FREYNE’S BAD TASTE As evidenced from his recent columns, Peter Freyne has made his tastes in people and institutions crystal clear. He loves druggies, drug dealers and the attorneys who support them. He loathes talented women, philanthropic organizations and those who support them. The latest target of his pathological hatred is Vermont Public Radio, whose fatal error, I suspect, has been their failure to invite him to broadcast his particular brand of sordid sewage-laced commentary. However, those of us who indulged in a bit of schadenfreude a few seasons ago when Freyne got pneumonia, and secretly prayed that some publicminded medico might pull the plug, can rest assured that, given his current level of dung-dipping, a far nastier virus will eventually take its toll. Little won der that Judge Alden Bryan didn’t want him in his chambers. I wouldn’t want him anywhere near the smallest chamber in my house, where his column usually ends up. Mr. Freyne, with apologies to Mark Twain, I am sitting there now with your writing in front of me; in a moment it will be put to more appropriate use in back of me. — Peter Fay N. Ferrisburgh MORE BAD TASTE In Inside Track (August 6), Peter Freyne lowers himself once again to the level of bad taste, worthy of The Inquirer, New York Post and New York Daily News in his search for the bottom rung on the lad der of vulgarity, “VPR’s Dark Secret.” Fred Hill’s conviction on two felonies in 1987 (10 years ago) do not merit the crass highlighting of Peter Freyne. In a quiet news scene — summer of 1997 — Freyne’s frantic search for content again highlights his sense of bad taste and pot stirring, by a so-called journalist desperate for a story line. — Martin Glassberg Burlington “SHOCK” REPORTING Peter Freyne has once again lowered himself to “shock” reporting. His recent article regarding VPR and Fred Hill (August 6) was completely unneces sary and invasive into Mr. Hill’s privacy. There was no information or coffsequences of general interest or importance, no new developments which merited reporting. Instead, there was a chance to “scoop” the competition with a story no respectable reporter would cover. As usual, Peter has missed the real story — the foresight and social awareness represented in VPR’s C ontinued on page 28

Dear Cecil, We requestyour wisdom to investigate a story (fact orfiction) regard ing exploding mosquitoes Many years ago I was told that when a mosquito is engaged in dinner one shouldflex or tigljten the muscle in the general vicinity This would trap the haplessfemale, along with her proboscis, causing her to overfill and explode. Recently / read an article on the same subject, with the only exception being one shouldpull taut the human skin around the offending wench, which would also trap her, causing her the samefate asfable number one. Any insightfrom the Straight Dope would be appreciated — Louis Oniga, via the Internet Some might say were dwelling excessively on the subject of EFOs (exploding flying objects), but I feel this question has been shamefully neglected in the popular press, first thing we did was review the sci entific literature. This consisted of going down to the drugstore and getting a copy of the August 1997 Discover magazine, which contains the article you undoubtedly saw, headlined “Why Mosquitoes Sounds like our kind of journalism. Unfortunately most oft 1 mosquitoes may be i in Limburger cheese, mman which, moreover, do ere’s the trick; Once a mosquito has landed and begun___ you stretch the skin taut on either side of it. Supposedly, if you’re you can crap the proboscis in your skin in midfeed. Stuck in the blood vessel, unable to pull out, its anticoagulants working overti to keep its blood meal coming, the mosquito sucks until it pops. “Maybe this method of entrapment works. Maybe it works or for small boys. Maybe its just a stupid pest trick or one of those urban legends that shouldn’t be put to the test,” etc. “Maybe!” “Supposedly!” What kind of crap is that? Our * journalists is to ascertain the facts! Although there is such a delegating responsibility. I sent out a bulletin to the Straight asking for volunteers to out of their bodies. The teletypes fell silent. After some cs the Colorado division inquired whether it would be possit to substitute a different bodily fluid. Denied. Finally wc got '*«« ^ patch from Lileth: “No need to tty; I’ve done this many times. (I am easily L It’s cool, because you can see its belly filling up. This takes a patience, and nerves of steel, because it takes a while, and is L..v, mfortable. Anyway, if you leave the muscle censed enough, pull out, and then she — well, maybe? It’s not th; TENSE -------PULL OUT?” This was nc 1. Other members of the panel were blunter. “lil is lyit the ever-tactful JillGat. “Or she’s recounting what sh heard her neighbors sons roommate’s sister told her.” Bitter words ensued. The term “pic hole” was used. (I didn’t ask.) This was fol lowed by a period of alarums and excursions during which the follow ing facts emerged: • The female members of the SDSAB did all the work while the men didn’t accomplish squat. (CK says he tried, but no mosquitoes would bite him. Sure.) We note chat only female mosquitoes drink blood, so maybe there was some kind of sisterhood thing going on here. • Katherine trapped some skeeters by stretching the skin. They rup tured rather than exploded, but good enough for me. • Songbird apparently got an entire concert audience to try this. (One assumes it was some kind of John Cage deal and they thought it was part of the performance.) One participant said the mosquito “swoll up so big I could see his brand.” • Iowa Stare University entomologist John VanDyk, to whom Lileth appealed for support, confirmed the thing could be done. % ■■ •••;

- r - ;.

.......

OK, it can be done. The unanswered question is why you would do it. Looking at the big picture, you wouldn’t call this an efficient method of mosquito abatement, and the entertainment value of watching a mosquito leak has got to be down there with watching your sunburn peel. But if it helps you pass the time on a dull summer evening, have at it. Wait a sec The teletypes are clattering again. Its JYDog from Hoboken; “This whole thing disturbs me.

SESSIONS LAW

| The government lost another one Monday in | the aftermath of the biggest drug prosecution in I Vermont history. Greg Stevens was set free on ■ bail after 72 days behind bars by Judge William 1 Sessions III pending sentencing (which looks to | be a long ways down the road.) In a stunning demonstration of judicial dis* cretion, Sessions shocked every8 one in the courtroom with his | decision, because to reach it he | had to wink and nod at the fedmeral statute that required “extra* ordinary circumstances” for 1 release. In June he did not con| sider the pending surgery of a Billy Greer’s wife to qualify, but ’ somethings changed. Monday, 8 the recent bout of viral meningi| tis sustained by Kelli Stevens did | qualify. Sessions also recognized . as “emotional suffering” the fact * that Stevens’ two kids from his 1 first marriage had been prevent e d from visiting him in jail. And 2 the judge noted Stevens was but * a small fry in the Billy I Greer/Stephen Hutchins smug| gling enterprise. Last month Glen Koski of * Grand Isle was also released on ■bail by Sessions, who said there | exists a “substantial likelihood” his | sole conviction on Count 4 — the * violation of the U.S. Maritime 8 Drug Act — would be reversed. Also the government has | filed its response to a motion for a new trial ■based on juror misconduct (see “Jurorgate,” Inside Track, July 23). 8 The government claims anything Juror John | Baker told fellow jurors about his brother’s | involvement with Greer in the drug trade “is simply inconsequential.” But if Sessions does I decide to proceed with interviewing jurors, the I government asks the judge to keep the defense | lawyers out of the proceedings. Interesting. *Job Opening — The GOP does not as yet have 8 a candidate to take on U.S. Sen. Patrick J. | Leahy next year. Susan Sweetser was once tout| ed for that race, but she did a lot worse in the « ’96 congressional race than anyone expected. * Can you say “private detective”? | The name of Mr. IDX — Ritchie Tarrant — | still pops up when GOP officials are pressed for I possibilities. Great guy, but he lacks political toi* let training. “My sense of him,” says GOP direcI tor Ruth Stokes, “is that he’s a very private per|so n , and a U.S. Senate race is not at the top of ■his list.” Meanwhile, GOP House leader Walter Freed i and his buds have launched their own political 1 action committee, called GOP-PAC, to raise some | buckaroos to launch a Republican comeback . under the golden dome. And in the spirit of unity, * former party chairman Pat Garahan has withI drawn from the race for GOP national commit| teeman, yielding the post to former party chairi man Allen Martin. (The GOP state committee J meets this Saturday in Montpelier.) I Garahan says he withdrew with “mixed feel| ings.” The Vermont GOP, he says, doesn’t need | any conflict or divisiveness right now. “We have - an uphill row to how,” says Pat. Fundraising is a ^ top priority for the national committeeman, and 1 Garahan concedes Allen Martin’s “better | equipped” on that score. Martin’s the guy who gets credit for the GOP ^ taking over the Vermont Senate in 1992 and I adding to their majority in 1994. And he was at | the helm when Ralph Wright was defeated. | Garahan sent out a letter several weeks ago to * members of the state committee announcing his ^ decision to withdraw, but it hasn’t made the 1 news yet, which may reflect the G O P’s current

i mm predicament. “If this was in the Democratic Party,” says Gurney, “[the story] would be above | the fold.” But hold your horses! Just when you thought everything was smoothed over, in rides a new candidate. Don Griffes of East Charleston sent W e ’re c lo s e d S u n d a y s fo r o u r out letters to state committee members this week announcing his candidacy for the national com m e n ta l h e a lth a n d o p e n mitteeman post. Griffes, who describes himself as a Reagan Republican, isn’t ready to roll over M o n d a y th r o u g h S a tu r d a y fo r y o u rs ! for Big Al. Griffes says Garahan was wrong to yield the field to B e llin i’s — n o u r is h in g b o d y & . s o u l. Allen Martin based on fundrais ing skill. “I thought Pat was smarter than that,” says Griffes. L unch: M on-F ri 1 1 :3 0 -2 • D in n e r M o n -S a t 5 - 9 :3 0 “What we have is a decision based on money, and money is only part of the problem. We need harmony and we need a broad base.” E'RE B^SGK! m issed everyone!

The Ski Areas Association, the Grocers Association, the Retail Association... and VPIRG?

But GMP isn’t the sacred cow it once was. And the odor from GMP’s 1991 Hydro- ™ SERVING DINNER Quebec deal — the deal the state gave its blessing is only getting worse. When business lobbyto ists and environmentalists line up, watch out! i s i l l i p p i l Not True! — That’s what Gov. Howard Dean’s official spokesman, Stephanie Carter, says of the Cafe Entrees Montpelier rumor that has her departing the $6.95 to $11.95 Fifth Floor for a flak job elsewhere in state gov ernment. “I have no plans to leave my post,” • Grilled Summer Vegetable Carter tells Inside Track this week.

He wasn’t sacked on the spot, as any 388-9925 Accredited Gemologists Assn. one else would have been. Instead he was “disci plined,” but no one will say how. In hindsight, what was most interesting was VPR President Mark Vogelzang’s refusal to say specifically just what kind of pornography Hill was caught view ^ o o p y . y ing on the job. And VPR’s board chairman Susan Crampton would only say she had been informed he’d been “looking at something.” One g R ESTA U R A N T board member told Inside Track he’d only been & BAKERY LANE MIDDLEBURY Reservations 388-4182 informed that Hill had been caught viewing “pornographic images.” Folks, receiving child pornography over the Internet is a federal crime (Title 18 Sec. 2252). And for someone like VPR’s Fred Hill, a convict ed child sex offender on parole, the feds can dou- § n // ble the punishment from a maximum of 15 years J to 30 years in the slammer. That might help explain why Vogelzang and Crampton are so O U R C U L IN A R Y D A N C E tight-lipped on the specifics of Hill’s Internet surfing. ® FO R Y O U R TONGUE

H A * golf. I P believe it was ^ Vince Lombardi who first called it “the sport of champions, great and small, but especially small.” Now that Mother Nature has begun to turn down the heat on the pressure cooker we affec tionately call summer, it’s okay to take the kids outdoors for a small spot of exercise without having to worry about sun burns, heat stroke or skin can cer. And so, I traveled the length and breadth of central Vermont in a relentless quest to evaluate our diminutive fairways, pad my resume and run up my expense account. Each of the five local courses I surveyed were subjectively judged by four standards: price, number of holes, relative difficulty and that elusive quality the French have smugly termed je ne sais quoi. A difficulty of five would tax Tiger Woods; a “one’ rating means you can do it blindfold- t? ed. Likewise, je ne sais quoi h v rating of one is hardly fit for f that little Caddyshack gopher, whereas Napoleon himself would have been impressed by a five. And so, without further ado, our courses: Lots-O-Balls almost too nice, too maple-sugary sweet. It’s LOTS-O-BALLS every postcard of Vermont > .

Road within spitting distance, doesn’t boost the je ne sais quoi. They tried to create a home town feel by basing some o f the holes on local landmarks, such as Thunder Road, the Rock o f Ages granite quarries, and the Morse Farm Sugar Shack. Putter’s also tries to make minigolfing an educational experi ence for local kids by posting a bit of information about each hole’s theme at the tee-off spot. But some of the rhetorical ques tions on the signs is a bit insult ing to the intelligence o f even a four-year old (my personal favorite being, “Have you ever been to a grist mill?”). The course rates high on difficulty because, no matter how differ ently I arid my intrepid com panion teed off, our golf balls tended to meander down the warped course and wind up in the same spot nearly every time A for effort, D- for product.

6:00 BBQ by The Daily Planet 8:00 Show Time

. . .NOT SO MELLOW CELLO It's gotta be one o f the best M onday-night line-ups ever. Joining Burlington's ow n popsters Lindy Pear are the soulful Celt-rockers W ild Colonials, Chicago's Verbow, and Hospital, from Amherst, M A. While the Colonials throw violin, digeridoo and pennywhistle into the mix, the latter tw o bands secure the cello's place in rock. Hospital offers welcome medicine: a dose of finely crafted, often m elancholy pop w ith pretty harmonies, grounded by the dulcet cello of A b b y Barlow (sister o f Lou). Indie hero Bob M ould produced the aw esom ely large sound of Verbow — the form er duet of Jason (Narducy) & Alison (Chesley) grow n to four — on their debut CD, Chronicles. M aybe Lindy should borrow cellist Nelson Caldwell fo r the night? M etronom e hosts the action.

South Burlington singer-songwriter Dave Gravelin inaugurates on September 5. New menu, too... No more cutting a rug at Metronome — were floored by that beautiful new hardwood. Nice renovations, people... Java Love has been having some sort of benefit for itself nearly every weekend. This Monday morning

its a “tenement yard sale,” with musical accompaniment. Stop by to buy... Currently Nameless will be whistlin’ Dixie when they hit the road this week for a 10day Southern tour — beaches and all. Look for the bluesy groovers, with tans, at Manhattan Pizza September 4... Last week in this column some missing copy deleted the fact that Belizbeha had just recorded a CD-quality demo with producer Rob Stevens (Red Hot Chili Peppers, \£ko Ono et al.). Sorry. At least the tapes aren’t missing... (Z)

(Sumertone Records, CD) — Though thousands of fans know him through his work with the Grateful Dead, B3 keyboardist Merl ........ —------ * Saunders has been down a long and winding road — and has taken a new turn. The man who gave Johnny Mathis his start, counts'Basie among his influ ences, and recorded with artists as diverse as Harry Bclafonte and Jerry Garcia, has added new-age to his old repertoire. With his Rainforest Band, Saunders brings it all together — jazz, groove, worldbeat and rock — in Fiesta Amazonica. Following an evocative intro called “Forest Dance” with vocalist Mariana, the band kicks into the uptempo Latin-influenced, keyboarddriven tide song, whose middle features lots of whobps and wild percus sion. The searing guitar solo belongs to Steve Kimmock, but the rest of the nine-song album includes so many players — including Garcia and Bob Weir on the trippy “Ayahuasca Zone” — that it’s impossible to credit them all here. Fiesta quickly changes moods from party-hearty to poignant ("Nostalgia for Jerome”) to Middle-Easternish jazz (“Walk the River”), with animal noises (pink dolphins), Bulgarian singers, and kidson-the-playground thrown in for g o ^ measure,) Ijfee Mickey Hart, Saunders seems to have been baptized in the Amazon and captivated by its indigenous aural environment. And sorrows: His spin is more melan choly than me$y, and wei^ihb fris^rumental numbers seem to convey the bands fervent forestry in every note — especially John Handy’s aching alto sax on “Eduardo” and the rainy-night fluting of Norbert Stachel on “Prayer for the Trees.” Saunders fans can get a double dose this Thursday at Toast, and on the Internet, cojirtcsy of Big Heavy World. Its a CD release party for Fiesta Amazonica, with guests Chin Ho! (in an acoustic set with Somah keyboardist Jake Lambertson) and jam-rockers Jiggle the Handle. ^ . (self-released, CD) — The recent high school grads who comprise Bubble Tribe show the promise of hard-working, imaginative and devoted musicians, as5 well as the shortcomings of their immature years. Danny Cuspicio vs. Totally Hair Barbee— the name should give you some clue — is like a sonic vision quest, and as such is an idiosyncratic, personal foray into mental spaces that a mere observer/listener can never really understand. You can stand back in awe, or you can look skeptical and scratch your head. Actually, with Danny, you can do both: The double CD offers ample opportunity to appreciate Charles Butler’s acoustic, and electric, effectsladen, banjo work, as well as many rea sons to push the “next” button. In short, this project isn’t; Bubble Tribe suffer from an inability to edit them selves, and Danny would have been much stronger if a good producer had mercilessly cut it in half. On the other hand, Butler, bassist Seth Whittier and ---------------- ------- *------- «rsting this Bubble to head off to college.

Difficulty: ••• (•• after the ninth hole, when your pupils have dilated sufficiently to be able to see in this indoor course) Je ne sais quoi: V i saved Pizza Putt for last, because everyone knows Pizza Putt is the best god damn mini-golf course/pizza parlor/video arcade in the country. And, since I’m try ing to claim my lunch bill as an expense, I should men tion that the pizzas quite tasty and very reasonably priced. So, since the praises of Pizza Putt have already been sung to the heavens, here is everything that might possi bly be construed as “wrong” with the place: It’s dark as a nightclub, which is fine if you’re a vampire, and you do get used to it; it sometimes smells like a swimming pool because of the chlorine in the fountain water; you can’t smoke indoors; and, since it is indoors, loud screaming children are that much loud er. But that’s it. Pizza Putt is open snow or shine, so you have no excuse not to get down there and play a few holes. W hat are you waiting for? Afterthought to mini-golf course owners in the area whose courses are not listed here: I have a lot o f friends, and none of them know about your course. Try adver tising. ®

ood preju dices die hard. Growing up, my family shared a sum mer place with my Aunt Delight and her kids. Well, Aunt Delight, who did her best to live up to her name, dedicated every Sunday night to a game she called “leftover potluck.” She would fix up one plate each of whatever type of leftovers she could find and then call us to the table. It didn’t matter where you sat, because every few minutes Aunt Delight would clang together a spoon and pot and everyone would rotate their plate to the right. O ut of the five or six plates on the table, there were rarely more than two that we deemed tasty, and some were barely recognizable, but the game continued until some how all the food got eaten.

While my siblings and cousins laughed and teased as the plates went round and round, I hated this random, ill paced approach to dinner. It always gave me a stomach-ache — and then left me hungry before morning. For years after, I remained squeamish when it

mative food years in big cities and never came near a potluck. You’d never ask friend to ride the subway to Brooklyn carry ing a casserole dish, or flag down a taxi cradling a bowl of tossed greens. In New York, the closest we came to potluck was dining in the Indian restaurants on 6th Street, sharing our plates

of curry, birani and dal. It was n’t until I moved to Vermont that I had to confront my potluck demons on a regular basis. In his book, The Dictionary o f American Food and Drink, John Mariani defines potluck thusly: a meal composed of whatever is available, or a meal whereby different people bring different dishes to social gather ings. In the “Wild West,” potluck meant food brought by a cowboy guest to put in the communal pot. This democratic, offhand approach to entertaining is a rural phenomenon. Indeed, when I was invited to my first Vermont potluck years ago, I expected green Jell-O molds with marshmallows, stickysweet baked beans, endless bowls of pasty pasta salad, gooey potato salads, canned three-bean salad — all the worst of a cafeteria salad bar. So pale was my faith in the harmo ny of food sharing that I snacked on a cheese sandwich before leaving the house, just in case. But when I arrived and placed my platter of spring rolls C ontinued on page 14

Soak the rice paper wrappers, a few at a time, in a shallow dish of warm water until softened. Handle softened sheets very carefully and avoid having them touch one anoth er. Place a wrapper on a work surface and pat dry with paper towels. Place a small piece Of lettuce leaf in the center, followed by a spoonful of rice noodles, carrot, sprouts and , mint. Sprinkle with peanuts, chives and cilantro. Fold Jhe lower edge o f the wrapper over the filling, roll once, then fold both side edges Inf. Finish rolling to form a neat cylinder. (You may need to practice rolling once or twice to get the hang of it. The most common mistake is to add too much filling.) Continue until all the rolls are made. Arrange rolls on a platter and cover loosely with damp towels. Serve with a favorite dipping sauce.

ZUCCHINI-FETA PANCAKES' (adapted from Joanne Weir’s From Tapas to Meze) 1 1/2 lbs. zucchini, grated 1 bunch scallions, minced 6 oz. feta cheese, crum bled 1/2 c. each fresh dill and fresh mint, chopped t/4 c. parsley, chopped 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cu p flour Salt and freshly ground pepper Olive oil

Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let drain for 1 hr. and pat dry with towels. Stir together the zucchini with scallions, feta, herbs and eggs. Sprinkle flour over the top and stir in. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a thin film of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (or use a non-stick skillet without oil). When oil is hot, drop tablespoons of batter into the pan an spread them to make 2-inch pancakes. Cook until golden brown, about 2-minutes per side. Serve at room temperature.

Pour the bread mixture into the baking dish and set in a roasting pan. Place the pan in the oven. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to reach about half-way up the sides of the baking dish.

in and around the North Hero Village Hall — a classic, white Vermont town hall with a large, echoing main room and a row of offices in the basement. This particular weekend every corner of the building, inside and out, burbles and croons with the sound of the smallpipes. Taking a walk around, you would probably find the Uillian, or Irish pipers, in the basement kitchen, either playing or watching intently as one noted reedmaker binds carefully carved slips of cane with hemp thread. Reedmaking is the piper’s despair, half the battle, and a major topic of discussion. Benches in the basement hallway generally hold a circle of Northumbrian pipers trading tunes and techniques. In a downstairs conference room, disemboweled sets of pipes may be laid out on the table as novices learn the minutiae of cleaning, lubing and repairing. _ _ Upstairs in the I main room I tables lining the

THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES Bv

their turn-of-the-century home. Close to 50 are in a kitchen display specially designed to highlight the col lection. Now multi-colored, multi-shaped cookie jars sit above the Kerschners’ custommade, Hoosier-style kitchen cabinets, or in nooks showing off red-and-yellow patterned wallpaper. The cozy ambience is pre-World War II. To a non-collector, the vari ety of cookie jar styles is mind-

ndy Warhol may have invented the promise of 15 minutes of fame, but his estate sale killed all hope of ever again buying a vintage cookie jar for 75 cents. An incredible increase in prices, combined with dimin ished space in their home, have all but put an end to the two decade-long, cook ie-jar spree of Sally and Rick Kerschner of Ferrisburgh. “That sale ruined the • market,” laments Rick. “W ith all the publicity about the exorbitant prices paid for Warhol’s 400 or so cookie jars, people stopped giving them away at garage sales and flea markets.” But before cookie jars began to command such dough, the Kerschners man aged to collect over 100 of their own. Their first pur chase was a pig in 1979. At the time Rick was a gradu ate student in conservation at Cooperstown, and he and boggling. A veritable fruit Sally became interested in fur salad: lemon, orange, apple, niture and lighting of the peach, pineapple, strawberry. A 1930s and 40s. “The cookie menagerie: pigs, cats, ele jars were affordable and kind phants, dogs, koala bear, chick of funky,” he says. “It was en, dove. Nursery rhyme char where our tastes lie.” The couple began searching acters, like Little Red Riding Hood and Humpty Dumpty, for jars at garage sales in New * sit side-by-side with Popeye York State. Ricks brother and other cartoon figures, the helped by scouring flea markets Dough Boy and other advertis in Pennsylvania. The directive: ing symbols, Raggedy Ann and “Buy anything original, and it’s Mammy dolls, a monk, Dutch okay to spend $5 to $10.” boys and girls, a windmill, a In Vermont, the pot-bellied stove. Clock-faced Kerschners actually shelled out jars read “Cookie Time,” and $40 for some jars at the plain round jars announce sim Charlotte flea market, but ply, “Cookies.” their best buy ever was a 75Rick’s favorites are Davy cent “lemon” they uncovered Crockett and a wise old owl; at a garage sale in Hinesburg. Sally is especially attached to a Half the Kerschners’ cookie soft green earthenware piece. jars are in boxes in the attic of

Their children keep changing their minds. Now it’s a road ster for Margy, five, and an old-fashioned phone for eightyear-old Beth. In the winter, Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman are popular — filled with holiday cookies. The marketplace value of the Kerschners’ jars vary wild ly: One owl that they bought for $40 — pre-Warhol estate sale — now commands $500. But a 1970s happy face pur chased for $30 still sells for $30. Sally’s guidelines for finding cookie jars are similar to those of any antique collector: “Look around, learn what every one else likes. Then buy what you like.” Serious collectors look for the stamp at the base of the jar — some companies are particularly sought-after. The McCoy Company, from Roseville, Ohio, began making cookie jars in the late ’30s. All the Kerschners’ fruit-shaped jars are the real McCoy, but the company’s range is broad. Other important manufacturers are Abingdon, American Bisque, and Brush. According to Rick Kerschner, head of conserva tion at the Shelburne Museum, Disney characters are very pop ular, but early pieces weren’t fired well and their paint doesn’t stay put. The faces of Aunt Jemima and Mammy jars are peeling, too, but that hasn’t kept “Black Americana” from becoming one of the most competitive areas of cookie-jar collecting today. The Kerschners made their last cookie jar purchase in 1996 and have no plans to buy more. Unless, that is, they find a “cow jumping over the moon” in good condition. Or maybe a teepee. Certainly an R2D2. ®

A A I I ut, hike, ho!” comes the call from what looks like a Hawaiian I outrigger canoe on the Burlington waterfront. Immediately,

islands. The aukai, which means “sea farer” in the native Hawaiian language, is probably the most novel develop ment on the Burlington waterfront since steam engines replaced horses on ferry boats. And while the aukai can’t carry other vehicles, it does carry six people working as a team paddling on opposite sides of the boat. “It’s a very social way to paddle,” says Mark McAndrew, president of the fledgling Vermont Outrigger Canoe Club (VOCC) and one of the people

responsible for bring ing the 45-foot aukai to Lake Champlain. Awash in history and ritual in the Polynesian Islands that run from New Zealand to Hawaii in

H a w a iia n c a n o e i s t s kayakers, sailors and motorboaters stop and watch. “Hut, hike, ho\” comes the call again, and now in-liners, bicyclists and runners turn their heads toward the harbor. A dozen paddle strokes and another “hut, hike, ho!” later and you half-expect a tsunami — or at least the theme song to “Hawaii Five-O” — to intrude on this surreal seascape. But the latest lakeside attraction isn’t an impending natural disaster or another re-run; it’s an aukai, an outrig ger canoe almost straight from the

came up with a way to adapt rowing machines to replicate the stroke used on marathon canoes. The stoke, a strong vertical pull with a single-bladed paddle, also happens to be the one used on outrigger canoes. That coinci dence lead to an ongoing business rela tionship with a University of Hawaii researcher, who passed along video tapes of islanders riding outriggers down 10-foot waves. McAndrews scrambled to find his own boat. After surfing the Net and locating

the aukai, a group of hard-core paddlers from the Morrisville area pur chased the boat sight-unseen from a California outrigger club and arranged to have it shipped East. A series of mishaps — including a train wreck in Chicago and temporary MIA status in New Jersey — landed

Lake

the South Pacific, outriggers are rela tively new to the mainland United States, much less the East Coast. Nevertheless, the aukai has already generated a certain mahalo, or good spirit, of its own as it made a cir cuitous, multi-modal trek from Long Beach, California, to Vermont earlier this summer. The odyssey of the aukai actually began a few years back when McAndrew, an avid canoeist and an employee at Concept II in Morrisville,

a n p la in

the oversized canoe atop an 18-wheeler full of raisins before McAndrew and company took delivery at the finish line of a 70-mile marathon canoe race they’d just completed in Utica, New York. Lacking an appropriate trailer, the group did the only logical thing: They spent six days paddling her home through the Erie Canal, the Hudson River and the Champlain lock system. Having found a permanent berth at the new Lake Champlain

Community Sailing Center, the aukai receives its share of attention whenever the VO CC members take her out on the lake. “We’ve never had any trouble filling the boat with paddlers,” says Lester Farr, who became an outrigging devotee when he stepped into the aukai in Utica. “Before we introduced the sport to a few others, we’d just grab people off the bike path.” Like an old motorcycle with a pas senger sidecar, the boat’s design com mands attention. Passengers don’t sim ply ride in the eight-foot outrig ger, or ama, but must share the work of propelling this 400pound canoe. The long, narrow hull makes it fast, while the ama serves to make the boat stable in rough water. “As far as Polynesian history, it’s like the wheel here,” McAndrew says of the development of the outrigger attachment. “It enabled them to inhabit all their islands.” While a long way from its birthplace in Hawaii, the boat has found a perfect home on the “West Coast of New England,” club members say. If Lake Champlain lacks the massive breakers of the Pacific, substan tial swells and plenty of goodsized wake left behind by the fer ries and other boats provide waves for the outrigger enthusi-

"We've never had any trou ble filling the boat with paddlers. Before we intro duced the sport to a few others, we'd just grab peo ple off the bike path." -Lester Farr asts to ride. “We’re an anomaly,” laughs McAndrew. “We like boat traf fic. And the rougher it is, the more fun • • » it is. Although the aukai is currently the only outrigger on Vermont waters, the boats have been heading East in increasing numbers — more than a dozen are now registered with the East Coast Outrigger Racing Association. VOCC paddlers have twice competed this summer in a race around the southern tip of Manhattan and one off Cape Ann, near Boston. At the Boston race, a co-ed squad o f Green Mountaineers made a splash by outpaddling half the field as the only mixed squad in an all-men’s race.

Although a strong back and good paddling technique are helpfiil, just about anyone can crew an outrigger, enthusiasts say. “The neat thing about an outrigger is that its a wonderfol place to introduce people to paddling,” says McAndrew, who also runs a canoe and kayak touring company in the Northeast Kingdom. “They don’t have to be an expert, and they don’t have to worry about tipping a canoe over.” And in a six-person boat, outrigger paddlers learn to share the work and get in sync with an ancient rhythm, just as the Polynesians have been doing for centuries.

ome things refuse to die. Cockroaches. Mildew. And, thankfully, Burlington’s underground the ater scene. In this volatile sea son, which knocked the stuff ing out of the Blue Couch Cafe and saw the last of the Last Elm, a new venue has already declared itself down town’s haven for the fringe. Last month, in its tiny home above College Street, Rhombus Gallery opened a makeshift multi-media performance space that is already drawing capacity crowds. Okay, that’s not a huge feat in a 50-seat house. But, like its south-side cousin — Magic Hat’s Growling Pup perfor mance series — Rhombus is enabling alternative fare to sur vive its recent brush with extinction. That’s a worthy effort, even when performance

dies on a road trip. W ith confi dent wordplay (“I laughed until my lungs s t u n g . h o n est insight and a calculated delivery, Shaplin imbued the most ordinary of moments with meaning. Another standout was Paul Schnabel, whose acting was as strong as his script — taken from a notably uncredited writer. The commanding Schnabel burst onto the stage with a street brawl tale written "9 x 9," local monologuists at the Rhombus Gallery, Burlington. August 16.

riage because she couldn’t even get a date. Ultimately, however, her message was forced, and the routine relied too heavily on Tartt’s drag schtick. For his part, Michael J. Evans started out strong with his engaging “Stand-Up Tragedy,” but, despite a hilari ous link between fate and com pulsive flossing, the monologue succumbed to a haphazard delivery and a weak ending. Bringing some needed estrogen into this evening of white guys standing around talking was radio personality Joy Hopkins. Hers was a promising bit about a curator who toiled 24 years in the bowels of the Smithsonian. But, clever phrasing and funny subject aside, the story lacked structure. Hopkins’ attempts to compensate for this failing, with her delightful high energy style resulted in a nearly onenote delivery. None of these problems are prosecutable, nor are they impossible to overcome. But

Featuring some of the area’s top solo performers, “9 X 9” was billed as a showcase. W ith its predominance of unre hearsed bits and under-edited scripts, though, the night should have been advertised as a developmental workshop. Luckily, Burlington’s Adriano Shaplin was on hand to show how it ought to be done. Wisely placed in the night’s final slot, the poised and exacting young Shaplin served up a wry, understated comic description of two bud-

Ober did what too few per formers chose to do that night: He acted, in character. And he did it with skill. But the evening’s real achievements ended there. By the time the proudly rumpled Josh Bridgman was half-way into his ill-defined, trite expos^ of suburban angst, Rhombus’ six-buck entrance fee was start ing to feel like petty theft. The ever-agile Peter Burns contributed a lightweight series of party tricks which, while well-delivered and sweet, didn’t gel into anything substantial. Cherie Tartt had her moments, advocating against gay mar-

the overriding mediocrity of “9 X 9” suggests that some very talented folks are coasting. Sure, it’s tough getting up there. And, yes, it’s great that there’s a venue for local talent. But, unless performers intend to use Rhombus for public development of their work — not a bad idea — it’s time to up the ante. Artists who fail to do their homework can’t rely on the predictably supportive hometown crowd for long — especially when other perform ers are really putting out. It’s not like no one notices. ®

CREATIVE CRIMINALS? Continued from page 17 all shopkeepers and tourists escaping cities — want to see. That’s why the Downtown Burlington Business Association has launched a graffiti removal program — a parallel to its “Clean Sweep Burlington” campaign, which focuses on keeping downtown clean in general. The graffiti removal is a sort of “public-pri vate deal with a com munity-based action team,” explains Ed Moore, director of the DBDA. When inci dents of graffiti are reported — such as a recent one on the Fletcher Free Library, or recurrent ones on the east wall of Mr. Mike’s Pizza — a crew from the Department of Corrections is assigned to clean it up. Like weeds or mushrooms, though, graffiti keeps popping up. And Paul Glynn keeps watching it. He’d like to see some sanc tioned sites for the work, such as a wall by

the city’s proposed skate park. O f course, grafartists may not get as much of a thrill without the subversive element, Glynn

acknowledges. O n the other hand, real artists want their work to be seen — the glory is diminished if “their shit” comes down nearly as fast as it goes up. The vigilance goes hand in hand with other over tures towards the city’s at-risk or sim ply idle youth — especially in the summer. Programs like “midnight bas ketball” at the Boys & Girls Club “give kids something to do rather than get in trouble,” Glynn says. “We’re giving them supervision and adult contact that they may be missing at home. “For me and Officer Nails, just the interaction with the kids has helped,” the ,29year-old Glynn continues, “if they can see us in a ‘reg ular light’ rather than going in and arresting them. They’re extremely smart — not dumb kids, they just do dumb things.” (Z)

through “Hogan’s Heroes,” “M.A.S.H.” and the more recent “Major Dad.” Is there a milieu more rife with comic fodder? The sex scandals alone would guarantee five-star ratings today.

CAN YOU SAY U.N.C.L.E? he other night I was watch ing TV in sort of a Robert Kennedy mode, I guess, because all of a sudden, instead of seeing what was on and ask ing why, I found myself seeing what wasn’t and wondering why not. I mean, one generally takes it for granted that, since there are now hundreds of channels, many broadcasting 24 hours a day, its to be expected that there will be much copycat pro gramming. After all, look at all the millions of hours that need to be filled. But then I had a startling realization: There are dozens of tried-and-true television genres and formats that nobody is even using! TV audiences are being subjected to unprecedented lev els of programming redundancy while any number of perfectly good premises are just waiting to be dusted off and put into action. Sinister conspiracy or boneheaded laziness? Instead of tuning into one of the innu merable magazine shows, myri ad soap operas, umpteen family sitcoms or interchangeable celebrity interviews, home repair, cooking or police reality programs now on the air, take a minute to look through the list

below and ask yourself what possible explanation there could be for these and other conspicu ous TV no-shows. VARIETY SHOWS So where’s the successor to “The Ed Sullivan Show?” Or, for that matter, the Carol Burnett, Sonny and Cher, Glen Campbell, Milton Berle or Dean Martin shows? Are the showbiz generations which followed theirs so vastly less talented, less charismatic, less telegenic and less quick-witted that the format has passed into extinction? PANEL GAME SHOWS Tell me a postmodern update of classic banteramas like “W hat’s My Line?” and “To Tell the Truth” couldn’t be a laugh and a half. Say, hosted by someone like Phil Hartman and featuring a battery of the best and brightest regulars from the worlds of literature, cinema, music and comedy. It would do this country good to see smart people saying clever things off the tops of their heads in prime time again. GROUNDBREAKING TOPICAL COMEDIES Was Norman Lear an anom aly? Is no other mortal interested

in or capable of producing a half-hour comedy that provides a good laugh along with a good hard look at the state of the union? Or has society just run out of problems? Something tells me “Ellen” and her little sixmonth-long festival of self-promotion isn’t the best we can do.

of their heads in prime time again. ANIMAL-BASED SHOWS So where are the successors to “Lassie,” “Flipper,” “Gentle Ben, Kin lin lin, rury, “The Littlest Hobo” and “Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion?” Are the four-legged gen erations which followed theirs

so vastly less talented, less charismatic, less telegenic and less trainable that the format has passed into extinction? SHOWS BASED ON DANGEROUS HOBBIES Remember “Rip Cord” and “Sea Hunt?” Programs like “Whirlybird” and “Sky King” were really just about flying around like a nut. I’m surprised MTV hasn’t come up with a show about a pair of hunky extreme skiers who rescue imperiled ski bunnies every week. Or maybe two skyboarders (or whatever you call those cretins who jump out of planes on snowboards). O r maybe a couple of crime-fighting bungee jumpers... WESTERNS Is it just me, or is there something kooky about the fact that the popularity of country music is at an all-time high and yet there isn’t a ’90s “Gunsmoke,” “Rawhide” or “Bonanza” in sight? MILITARY COMEDIES This is a genre that has served with distinction since the dawn of the TV age — from “Sgt. Bilko,” “McHale’s Navy” and “Gomer Pyle” right up

SPY SHOWS Today’s espionage technolo gy is much further out than the quaint gadgets that intrigued fans of programs like “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” “I Spy” and “Get Smart.” So why has the genre gone undercover? AMONG OTHERS Like wacky supernatural comedies (“Bewitched,” “I Dream of Jeannie,” “My Mother the Car”); anthology comedies like “Love American Style;” academic competitions like “College Bowl” and “High School Quiz;” “Divorce Court” (with the growing popularity of reality programming, it’s amaz ing this ahead-of-its-time chest nut hasn’t been updated); shows in which a TV family was played by a real showbiz family (“Ozzie and Harriet,” “I Love Lucy,” etc.). And the list goes on, I’m sure. You probably thought of other examples as you read this. Curious, isn’t it? The up side to this unnerving new perspective on American TV program ming: Hey, considering a career as a producer? Help yourself to a few bold, original concepts not currently done to death. You’ll look like a visionary. Or at least someone whose memo ry extends back further than five years. The down side? Now you know what you’re missing. ®

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): While on vacation in Maui, I’ve made a point of floating for hours at a time in the wombtemperature sea. During these hypnotic outings, I’ve struck up conversations with nearby strangers who seem as intent as I am to recreate fetal memories. It’s amazing how easy it’s been out there to speak to each other o f our private mysteries and secret depths — as if the warm salt water dissolves our need to hide behind social masks. As you enter an astrological phase when defense mechanisms are your greatest enemy, Aries, I highly recommend this approach to relationship. See if you can hold all your dates, negotiations, and committee meetings in a hot tub or heated swimming pool.

TAURUS

(Apr 20-May 20): Here in Maui, where I’m taking a break from my hectic routine in Northern California, I feel like I could juggle soap bubbles, or drink the sun or conjure music from the stones. Today the white plumeria flowers fell at my feet as I strolled toward the cove where the sea turdes swim. Yesterday I found a shrine o f Japanese coins, coconut cookies, and flame-red

BY ROB BREZSNY

expressly for you. The quote in question was in a story about a restless Massachusetts traveler who accidentally came face to face with a kahuna — a Hawaiian medicine man -— while visiting the Big Island in the winter of 1856. “You have moved much too fast for a long time,” the kahuna said to the visitor, “and have left a part of yourself behind. Now you must slow down so that that part o f you can catch up.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here in Maui, where I’m on vacation, I’m sometimes relieved when the hyperbright Hawaiian sun slips behind a cloud. Not just because I’m too damn hot and welcome the drop in temperature, but also because I’m a watery moon child like you, and tend to feel oppressed and depressed when bathed in nonstop brilliant illumination. Having said that, I’m sure you’ll understand where I’m coming from when I tell you my wish for you this week. I’m hoping you’ll find a way to

Money Candle while chanting a magic spell in your behalf. It’s a favorable astrological time to do just that.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The woman tending bar at the hotel restaurant here in Maui said she came to visit the island for two weeks in 1989, but got so addicted to the place that she never left. The guy operating the glassbottom boat told me a similar story. W hen the fiddle player down near the wharf delivered yet another tale o f a vacation that lead to a permanent relocation, I began to feel like maybe I should protect myself from Maui’s power to enthrall. (I’m definitely not ready to uproot myself from my home in Northern California.) I was also reminded of you, Virgo, because my astrological analysis suggests you’re on the verge of having a minor detour turn into a major change of direction. That “whim” you follow may have a “wham, bam, thank you ma’am” impact.

results to keep his worshipers satisfied, or they publicly and ceremoniously cast him off and adopted a new god, perhaps one of proven merit who was advancing the destinies of a neighboring island.” W hat a refreshing difference this is from the fawning deference that pious white folk have traditionally shown towards their divinities! It’s an attitude I highly recommend for you in the coming weeks. Put your own gods and goddesses to the test, Scorpio. Demand that they come through for you, and fire ’em if they don’t.

PISCES

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m sure you’ve heard it said that the Eskimoes have a hundred words for snow. During my visit to Maui, I’ve discovered that the ancient Hawaiians had an elaborate set o f terms to distinguish among all the subdy different qualities o f wind. “Each change o f the wind had a name which demoted its, direction, strength and tdative temperature,” says L i t McBride in his

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The ancient Hawaiians observed a kind of extended holiday called makahiki. During this time, which lasted about four months, war was absolutely forbidden, no matter how great the tem ptation might be to go kick the living you-know-what out o f the jerks on j the next island over. I wish you Aquarians could manage a similar embargo on conflict, backbiting, and nasty little acts of sabotage. Four months j might be too much to ask, though. Do you think you could agree to three weeks? j (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I was going with the flow all afternoon today. It wasn’t as easy as it’s cracked up to be. The scene was Napili Bay on the west coast o f Maui. I never tried to buck the incoming waves, but always put myself in alignment so that my energy and theirs would work in tandem. Nevertheless, I still got my ass kicked. T he waters power was so tremendous ’----- -plex ^ t even when I

Montpelier Dear Small & Hairy, Cveryone who reads fashion magazines long enough begins to feel inadequate. Cur pop cul ture teaches us that big breasted, small-boned babes with scant pubic hair are the definition of beauty. Women from the waist up, girls down below. But I've never had a personal discussion with a man who really wanted a Barbie Doll to play house with. Likewise, I've never met a woman who really wanted Long Dong Silver to play with. The danger lies in getting sc consumed with our selves that we don't even notice what cur lovers lock like naked. The pcitit should be to enjoy what makes your partner unique and how they

make you feel. And, hon estly, I think most people prefer real people. With love,
