a SLAVE TO THE AUTO

What do you wish you had learned in school? To fib more effectively. — Jake Hynes Loan Officer Burlington I wish I’d learned that the Hepatitis C virus can remain alive for six months. We have to keep things very, very clean. — Melissa Shanholtzer

To all those who support com pletion of the Circumferential Highway, whether for reasons of basic traffic frustration or because you stand to make substantial profits, please keep these things in mind. This new road will forever ruin many square miles of open land. It will encourage low-density development with high infrastruc ture costs. And it will not alleviate traffic congestion in any long-term sense. So much work has been done on this project, and with honest efforts to “improve” the economic health and vitality of this commu nity. To those who have worked on it, thank you for your efforts. But the time has come to stop follow ing the blind lead of the rest of our polluted, spoiled country. In countless cities and towns through out the U.S. it has been shown that such highways rarely solve any of the problems that spurred their design. They merely exacerbate reliance on the automobile. If the directions we have taken in Chittenden County over the past 20 years (most of which I spent growing up in Williston) is any indication of what is to come, then we should all be very worried. The planning and zoning processes have not succeeded in making this community better. While we toil and strain to earn a living, drive ourselves and all our junk from place to place, in efforts to “improve” the lives of our children, indeed we only make our existence more hollow and hectic. Should this road be deemed “necessary,” realize that it will push us, as a community, and as the most powerful county in the state, further towards becoming simply

RACIST ADVERTISING

NO TO BIG EDUCATION’

When I saw the Full Tank advertisement for “glass for your fat ass” [August 2] with an extremely racist drawing of a man (pimp) surrounded by two African-American women, I thought, “I just hope the store is owned by African-Americans,” then I reflected on the racism of my own thoughts. I concluded that no, the store must be owned by some obscenely privileged white boys who don’t have to worry about using a pic ture like that, or owning a para phernalia shop, because they don’t have to worry about being harassed by police officers, they don’t have to worry about the association between marijuana and laziness, they don’t have to worry about a lack of clientele and surviving as a business due to the color of their skin, they don’t have to worry about running a disgusting ad that they obviously find humorous, because they have all the protec tions afforded to them by a society that gives you carte blanche if you’re white. Here it is the 21st century and the white punks on dope still can’t figure out this stuff... — Liz Curry Burlington

Four votes on this year’s budget won’t soon be forgotten at the Burlington School Department. And not all reasons for voting no have been spoken yet. Here are mine: No to public schooling. No to a bureaucracy that serves itself first and pupils second. No to John Dewey’s self-propelling juggernaut, Big Education. Yes to innovation and experi ment. Yes to pupil-centered, par ent-mediated, small education. Public schooling has had its day. Much of its purpose has been achieved, but little since World War II. Literacy is widespread now but struggling; numeracy, narrowspread and declining. History teaching, less apt than Anecdotes of Past Politics. Visual arts receive better attention than ever, but what really grips the hearts and minds of pupils and parents is ath letic competition. Note that the School Board threatened before the last vote to cut extra-curricular activities. Public schools are a product of both legislation and Zeitgeist, the articulated and the unarticulated expectations of a large populace. Parents for whom child discipline is Stop! Go Away! have shifted their parental burden zeitgeist-wise onto schools... Public school (like all) bureau cracy waxes as its usefulness wanes. Administrative salaries increase, justified by the non sequitur, “we have to be able to attract compe

tent people.” Teachers earn com fortable salaries by most standards, and the union makes sure those don’t drop, boy! In the public edu cation industry, only the quality of product drops. Pupils who excel do so, I think, against the odds. And while there are many exceptions, there is also an increasing number of parents who work hard to keep their children out of public school. Times change; now is the time for private schools and home schooling. School choice is wise, now. Vouchers are practical. Competition among schools is wise, and if some good schools are religious, let the ACLU fret. During my eight years of Catholic school, no non-Catholic pupil was forced to learn catechism or attend mass. But ever since, I’ve seen how lucky I was to have missed those years of public school... A No vote on funding is a democratic, peaceful way to press for change in a stubborn institu tion. — Fred G. Hill

Police in Fayetteville, Arkansas, charged Anthony Lee Robinson, 21, with burglarizing the home of a childhood friend after the victim noticed cheese wrappers on his kitchen counter and remembered Robinson liked to eat cheese slices. Investigators said the victim had run into Robinson for the first time in three years the day before the burglary.

Adding Insult to Injury

Although the Supreme Court ruled that the Food and Drug Administration lacks the authori ty to regulate cigarettes, 22 public health organizations, including the American Cancer Society, have asked the FDA to regulate a new reduced-smoke cigarette from R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. called Eclipse. The groups’ peti tion says the product is eligible for government regulation because it isn’t a cigarette but a nicotine-delivery system. • Mike Redina, 44, a blind news stand worker in Hauppauge, New York, was fired for selling ciga rettes to a minor during a sting operation by the Suffolk County Health Department. After nab bing Redina, health officials told newsstand owner Morgan Edwards he could not leave Redina alone selling cigarettes. Rather than hire another person to assist Redina, Edwards said he had no choice but to fire him.

Clarence Dale, 46, was robbed after leaving,a Winnipeg tobacco shop when two men approached him and one of them grabbed $8.15 Dale had received in change out of his hand before he could put it in his pocket. Police apprehended a suspect, but when he came to trial, Judge Charles Rubin dismissed the charges, then called the victim ‘‘stupid” for being in a bad part of town. “If you walk around jingling money in your hand,” he said, “it’s like walking in the wolf enclosure at the city zoo with a pound of ground beef in your hand.”

while appeals were pending. Eugene Gaines then tried to have the divorce agreement nullified, allowing him to keep the $70,000 home she was to receive and relieving him of $500-a-month alimony. But the court ruled the divorce agreement was binding and ordered Gaines to pay the alimony to his ex-wife’s estate.

burning. Not only that, but every thing they needed to fight the fire was burning. The fire started in an apparatus bay, which didn’t have smoke detectors because diesel exhaust from the fire engines would have triggered them every time crews responded. The station also lacked a sprinkler system.

Fire Away

Lukewarm Justice

After a fire swept through an apartment building in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, gutting two units, authorities charged tenant Brent A. Baskin Jr., 18, with deliberate ly setting the blaze. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

A Boston jury acquitted Juan Benito, 38, of assault and battery charges for pouring coffee over the head of a Delta Airlines employee. Benito produced a receipt showing he had bought the coffee almost a half-hour before the incident, insisting the delay made it impossible for the coffee to be hot enough to be considered a dangerous weapon.

reported that Baskin told police he started the fire because he wanted to break his one-year lease and figured he could if his apart ment were uninhabitable. Indicating Baskin faces a maxi mum penalty of 80 years in prison, Fitchburg Fire Chief David Fulmer said, “I guess being stuck with a lease is a lot better than what he’s stuck with now.” • When firefighters in Colfax, Washington, were called to battle a blaze, they discovered it was their own fire station that was

Short and Sweet Saxophonists die younger than musicians who play other instru ments, according to a study reported in the British Medical Journal. After finding that half the jazz saxophonists they studied died before they were 40, while half of other musicians lived to at least 60, the researchers speculated that circular breathing technique, in which a player inhales through the nose while blowing out through the mouth, might reduce blood flow to the heart and brain.

R e - r ig h t in g ducation?” Have I anything to say about I“education?” Apparently its a hot topic this year, right up there with “prescription drugs.” Compassionate conservative George W. Bush has even put “education” at the top of his corporate agenda, second after liberating the rich from their taxes. Surely if I knew anything about it I’d want to comment. And with the stu dents back all at once! But modesty forbids. The truth is, I don’t know anything about “education.” I don’t have children, and the ones I see coming up only convince me that there hasn’t been any. “Education,” I mean. Knowing nothing about it, therefore, rather than talk about it, I’m going to do it. I’m going to educate. I believe this is standard for the profession. This week we’re doing history, which has been badly mauled in the presidential campaign. Along with Bush’s hand-outs to the oligarchy, the Republican party is push ing the myth of the Obedient Pioneer. “We approach these challenges with compassion ate conservatism,” says the party’s platform, “a concept that is as old as the pioneers heading west in wagon trains, in which everyone had responsibility to follow the rules, but no one would be left behind.” Forgive me, but are we thinking about the same American West? The Wild West? The Wild, M /W e st? The greatest orgy of land grabbing, conquering, con niving, double-crossing and buying-off in modern times? It may reveal a bias, but a careful reading of American history won’t turn up a lot of docile, rule-following pil grims out there on the prairie. As to leaving people behind, 90 percent of the native population was wiped out in 300 years. The American West was settled by thieves, killers, soldiers, “pols,” vigilantes, freebooters and snake-oil salesmen. “Family values” did not drive the expansion. “I have seen purer liquors, better seegars, finer tobacco, truer guns and pis tols, larger dirks and bowie knives, and prettier cortezans, here in San Francisco than in any place I have ever visited,” said a sat isfied Argonaut of the California Gold Rush, “and

If he had as much concern about the usurers, the money-lenders and changers, the military and — if I may — the pharmaceuti cal industry, I’d feel much more comfortable when Lieberman says: “God gave us a purpose and a destiny, to do justice and to protect, indeed to perfect, the human community.” If God has anything to do with it, may he please protect us from the perfectors. I know that’s not a word, but it fits for this guy. I was already in a dither about Lieberman the first time I heard him falsify American history, which he does wher ever he goes. “The original Americans did not all come from the same land,” Lieberman says. “They did not all hold the same religious tenets. But they did all hold an unerring faith that those inalienable rights that Jefferson enumer ated in the Declaration of Independence were endowed not by some benign king, not by the grace of the new gov ernment, but by their Creator.” W hat Lieberman won’t tell you — what none of them tell you — is that Jefferson’s Creator was “Nature’s Creator,” as he wrote first, in the preceding paragraph of the Declaration. One of the things Americans would be independent of was religion, its laws, its deities and its purported morality. In no way, specifically and deliberately, was “Nature’s” Creator allied with Christian — and thus Judeo-Christian — theology. “I do not find in

Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any Church that I know of. My own mind is my own Church,” wrote Thomas Paine. If any thing founded the American republic, it was that princi ple. But here’s Lieberman, talking to an audience in Detroit: “We know that the Constitution wisely separates church from state, but remember: The Constitution guarantees freedom of reli gion, not freedom from reli gion.” W ithout the Ten Commandments and “the compassion and love and inspiration of Jesus of Nazareth, it could never have been written, and wouldn’t have been written, in our Declaration of Independence, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’” Somehow the word “men” here rings louder than it should. If you want “edu cation,” try reading. Jefferson said: “The care of every man’s soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well, what if he neglect the care of his health or estate, which more nearly relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he shall not be poor or sick? We should all, then, like the Quakers, live without an order of priests, moralize for ourselves, and say nothing about what no man can understand, nor therefore believe; for I suppose belief to be the assent of the mind to an intelligible proposi« » tion.

We’d . Most Like to Take

if only we could find the time

By Pamela P olston Organizational Theory and Behavior HMS 342 Burlington College Okay, lets see here. I’ve got my notebooks, pens, fetching new leopard-spotted backpack, yellow high lighters and... hey, wait, where are those highlighters? I could have sworn I got some of those just last week. Hmmmm, come to think of it, I forgot to sign up for this class. Well, maybe there’s still room in the more basic-sounding Middle School Organization EDU 322 at Johnson State College. Self-Paced Latin LAT 3 University of Vermont I really like this no-worries approach to learning a lan guage. After all, if it’s dead, why hurry to understand it? W hat with all my other classes, soccer practice and party schedule, picking up a couple nouns here, a verb or two there, sounds perfect. Mom and Dad will think they’re getting their money’s worth if I casually toss off a quid pro quo or tempus fugit once in a while, and won’t it be fun to write things like, “I didn’t get home until IV in the mornmg! Marketing M KT 110 Champlain College Now here’s something I’ve got a head start on. Shopping is my favorite activity, next to watching “Dawson’s Creek.” But being new to town, I’m sure this class will provide important, life-sustaining info, such as where to find the cheapest ramen, which supermarket stays open latest, and places to score the best free samples. The coolest thing is this full-color, laminated map of the new Price Chopper! I think I’ll take this class w ith... Basic Concepts of Foods NFS 53 University of Vermont This will surely set to rest some nag ging culinary ques tions, such as: If tomatoes are fruit, why is ketchup a vegetable? And in which of the major food groups is beer? Ramen? Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories and Problem Plays ENG 311 Castleton State College Hunh. I knew about the comedies and histories, but problem plays? These must be the ones old Will jilst couldn’t get finished, and we’ll be studying the fragments found in his waste baskets to determine just what, exactly, the problems were. It’s a confidence-booster, somehow, knowing that even the best bard in the English language occasionally got writer’s block. Principles o f Persuasion C O M 204 G l Community College of Vermont This is great! I’m so ready to move beyond “Mom, why

can’t I?” I’ve always had Dad twisted around my little fin ger, but now it’s time to tackle greater challenges, like my professors, the college loan officer and those cute boys in the back of the class. The Historian at Work HIS 201 Castleton State College Finally, we’ll find out just what historians do all day. I’ve always wondered what became of them after they memorized all those dates and stuff. I’ve got my research subject all picked out — I just hope he doesn’t lose it when I tell him he forgot to learn all the history made by women and non-white men. Introductory Music Listening MUS 1 University of Vermont Talk about a gut course. Hell, I’m ready for advanced music listening. But nobody seems to be offering that, so I’m okay with going back to the basics. Could be fun spending a semester under the headphones with Raffi, Burl Ives and a little early Hanson.

planet. And I think I’ll supplement this w ith... Introduction to Vermont VS 52 and Seminar in Vermont History H ST 284, just to make absolutely cer tain I’m in the right place. In fact, maybe I’ll major in Vermonts! And I’ll add on ... Field Experience NFS 196 University of Vermont The best way to really learn what’s up with Vermont is to get right down there in the meadow. Here we’ll learn to distinguish Holsteins from Jerseys, purple loosestrife from beebalm, and, if we’re lucky, we’ll get to pet some sheep before they’re all exterminated. Then we’ll observe as a developer buys a farm, works his way through the fine print of Act 250 and turns the field into another sub urb.

Mom and Dad will think they’re getting their money’s worth . . . and won’t it be fun to write things like, “ I didn’t get home until IV in the morning!”

Ready, Set, Canine! CMD066 A1 Community College of Vermont I just love the optimistic, can-do energy of this course title! Even though I’m a cat person, I feel certain this class will help me overcome my disgust with creatures that drool, stick their noses in my crotch and require pooperscoopers. Hearing Science CMSI 105 University of Vermont One problem with today’s world is, people just don’t know how to listen. I figure I’ll be that much ahead if I lend an ear to the really subtle things. We’ll start with easy stuff like wind, running water, that sort of thing, then move on to challenges like church mice, pins drop ping and — the ultimate — the sounds of “silence.” I can’t wait to see the lab equipment for this one! The Theology and Practice of Eucharist G TH 527 St. Michael’s College Let me get this straight: You eat that little cracker thingy and that’s supposed to be the body of Christ, and that wine or grape juice or whatever is supposed to be his blood? H m m m m ... Could I get fries with that? Vermont in New England GEOG 61 University of Vermont Apparently there are Vermonts in other parts of the world. Who knew? Could be there’s a Vermont in, say, Australia, Venezuela or Southern California. This course will help us distinguish the one we live in from Vermonts that exist now, or may pop up later, elsewhere on the

Computer Architecture

CS 313 St. Michael’s College W hat a cool idea! I am so into saving the Earth, and the thought of building things with old computers is really original. I’m going to start by constructing an igloo out of Apple mon itors. The inside will be lined with a bunch of memory cards — I love all those pretty colored wires and stuff. Then I think I’ll make a rec room partition for Dad out of a couple dozen old keyboards nailed to plywood, and then... let’s see, my final project will be an exact replica of the Empire State Building using only external hard drives, old surge protectors and damaged floppy discs. I feel less guilty already! Back-of-the-House Management Front-of-the-House M anagement New England Culinary Institute This is just perfect — I’m really looking forward to getting my first apartment and, to be honest, I don’t know a darn thing about housekeep ing. The maid always took care of every thing at home. I do know that it’s more im portant to keep the front of the house looking nice in case company comes, whereas you can slide a little in the back. And you should see my closets — whoa! I’m pretty sure, though, that “Top-of-the-House Management” will be handled by my landlord.

Principles of Speech C O 205 St. Michael’s College Shit! I really didn’t want to sign up for this fucking class, but my Mom made me. She says she’s never heard such a foul mouth on a young lady, and if I don’t clean up my act she’ll cut off my goddamn trust fund. I’m sure the teacher will be some high-and-mighty bitch, and the class will be filled with ass-kissers, but, what the hell... I

portrayed Burlington as a micro cosm for not-so-wholesome small-town American life. Vermont novelist Elizabeth Inness-Brown described The Dream o f the White Village as “A Winesburg, Ohio for the turn of the millennium.” But a lot more people are aware of Baruth — and his gift for creative cultural commentary — since he started broadcasting short audio pieces for Vermont Public Radio. A stand-out soloist in a chorus of otherwise folksy voices, Baruth may be the “urban troubleshooter” hot on the trail of a secession plot at Wal-Mart, or a sushi seeker detained for questioning at an imagined anticivil unions checkpoint at the New Hampshire border. Aptly titled “Notes from the New Vermont,” Baruth’s keen

he University ofVermont hired Philip Baruth for his expertise in 18th-century English literature. But it turns out the ponytailed professor — who looks more like a skate boarder than a literary scholar, husband and father — has a sec ond specialty: contemporary Vermont. Unlike profs who lead sequestered lives devoted to rati fied research, Baruth qualifies as an academic extrovert. When he is not teaching Samuel Johnson — or Susan Faludi, in his “Intro to Lit” course — the 38-year-old author-sleuth is observing his surroundings with the eye of an anthropologist. That approach was evident in his first “novel in stories” that

observations of place and politics provide a satirical contrast to the pastoral yarns of guys like Will Curtis and Willem Lange. Like Ira Glass on National Public Radio, Baruth is a breath of fresh, ironic, air. No doubt he was referencing his sushi story when he suggested Sakura as a meeting place last Thursday night. Not that he would have proposed his campus office in Old Mill — Baruth is much more likely to be found downtown reading The New York Times than holed up in some musty old Ivory Tower. In fact, nobody in the English department even knew Baruth wrote fiction when he applied for a job seven years ago — at the time, he was working on a book that imagined the death of Jerry Garcia.

matic people that we have at the department,” says English prof and author David Huddle, “maybe even at the university. Philip Baruth is full of mystery. People are fascinated by him .” ike most careful chroniclers of character and setting, Baruth is a better listener than he is a talker. Modest and soft-spoken, he exhibits little evi dence of the “ego” he claims is half the reason he keeps writing for radio. “I like the idea of somebody in the car, at 8:25 in the morning, coffee in their lap, hearing it,” Baruth admits, sounding more like a journalist than an academic. He is also the host of VPR’s Camel’s Hump Radio, the new locally produced show for children that features Vermont writers and celebrities on Saturday mornings. Recognizing the importance of words in “people’s everyday lives,” Baruth could be described as a populist. Born and raised in an upstate New York town of “maybe 2500” residents — just outside Rome — he grew up swaddled in the fabric of a small community. That experience later attracted him to the works of Albany author William Kennedy, to whom he was com pared — albeit unfavorably — in the Publisher’s Weekly review of The Dream o f the White Village. When he was editing The New England Review, Huddle published a Baruth story based

He got into Brown, but the transition wasn’t easy. home — Burlington — with Intimidated, Baruth stuck with similar sensitivity. “Here was a English “instead of trying some guy who had been here only a thing I might not be good at,” few years, compared to my 20, who seemed to know more of its he says with characteristic self depreciation. He later applied history and also had more of a sense of the spirit of the city than and got into grad school — I did,” Huddle says of Dream. Baruth started his doctorate at

Philip Baruth is much more likelv to be found [downtown, reading The

[ holed up in some musty] Id Ivorv Tower. “He is interested in the local ways, but also the conscience of the place, or lack thereof.” Growing up, Baruth was a big fish in a small pond. He excelled in high school, especially in English. “But it just wasn’t very demanding,” he recalls. “My senior year in high school we did, like, Call o f the Wild and Romeo and Juliet. That was it.” He was headed for the state university until one of his teach-

University of Virginia, then transferred to the University of California at Irvine. O f 35 job applications he sent out after grad school, Vermont was the only one that responded with a job offer — fortuitously, Baruth says Burlington was the one place he really wanted to be. He threw himself into teaching literature and creative writing, in a style his colleague describes as “low-

key.” Huddle explains, “I think Philip is one of those teachers who gives a fair amount of the power to the students in the classroom. He tries to get them to think, to speak up, to come up with their own view of things.” That may explain the reading list for his current “Intro to Lit” class, which includes discussionprovoking texts such as Backlash, Makes Me Wanna Holler and George Bush, Dark Prince o f Love — no Shakespeare. It also jives with his approach to teaching writing: “It is kind of like Kung Fu. You can teach the moves, but you can’t really teach what is sup posed to be going on inside when you are doing it,” he says. The ultimate goal, he says, is “coming up with the new thing.” Indeed, very creative writing is Baruth’s particular forte. True to form, on Thursday night, he was hatching literary ideas about the southeast corner of Cherry and Church streets, where people wait for the bus in Burlington. It’s a volatile spot, with its own pugnacious person ality. Further down the road, the skateboarder-filled parking garage also piqued his interest. “That is what distinguishes him from the old-school pro fessors who would probably take a lot of care to avoid those places,” H uddle offers with a chuckle. “He is a kind of new English professor.” And he’s got tenure. ®

The O ther “ E” Business Tracking down academia’s most elusive letter grade B y G eorge T habault he field of education always has its burning issues. Today you’ve got Act 60 funding here in Vermont and rag ing debates on school vouchers, distance learning, Eurocentric curricula, character education, homeschooling, sex education, phonics and much more. But the talk shows and critics are silent about one of the great educational puzzles of the 20th century — just what the heck happened to the letter E in the classic grading system of A, B, C, D and F? In a society built upon rationality, lin ear thinking and technical expertise, why would the engineers of our most widely practiced grading structure sidestep an obvious letter, confounding students and parents for generations? There are 55,950 Web pages devoted to “Education and Assessment,” but not one explores this essential mystery. Academe still waits for its own Inspector Poirot to unravel the plot and claim national praise. » Around these parts, the feeling is near

unanimous: “T hat’s a very interesting question,” people say, but then admit that, like Swedish politics, they haven’t given it much thought lately. Still, some are unafraid to venture into unknown philo sophical territory. Many people opted for simplicity and practicality in their analyses of the E question. “The simple explanation might be that using E would create some confusion with the word excellent,” suggests University of Vermont English professor Huck Gutman. W ith that, he rests his case. John Bossange, longtime principal at Albert D. Lawton Intermediate School in Essex Junction, leans toward simplicity, too. “We all know that F is short for fail ure, so it wouldn’t have made much sense to use E for the lowest grade,” he says. Art teacher Brenda Dow Larsen of Winooski weaves the simplicity strands a bit more intricately. “You see, they wanted to have C represent the middle, the aver age,” she explains. “And they set aside two letters for above average, and those would be A and B. And they set aside two letters for below average. That would be D and F — D because it was next to C, and F

because its meaning was recognized by nearly-everyone. ”,5„ ^ ^ Sounds pPaTtisibtey’Dut’Aiisiifi James* a Shelburne translator and author, sees more complexity and advanced science behind the issue. “This is just another example of the GASP theory,” she dedarqs* “GASP theory requires that when you are * for the cliff of D and you fall even lower, you must naturally scream ‘EEEEE!’ before landing on the bottom with a big ‘FFFFFF’ sonnck” % -g* G* r But some claim that the history of E is not one of total neglect. Community Health Center physician John Brooklyn vaguely recalls its use during his elemen tary school days in Rhode Island. “Seems to me that E was at the top of the scale and it stood for Exceeds. Then came Very Good, Good and Poor,” he says. South Burlington school superintend ent Bruce Chattman also remembers an ancient E era, but declined to give exact

tors could have merely been a bit psychic, according to Leunig’s bartender Bob Conlon. “It’s obvious they were looking far into the future and reserving the letter E for E-commerce applications,” he declares. ^ Td&pje in the education community are busy preparing for the opening days of school this week and thus can be forgiven for having little sympathy for the E debate. A But are professors simply ducking the controversy? Several secretaries on the hill suggested we leave the E question on the voice mail mechanisms o f professors who were conveniently away in meetings or struggling with traumatic post-vacation paperwork syndrome. Some of those calls remain unreturned. Charlie Rathbone, an education pro fessor at UVM, is one of several scholars to express fascination with the question of E. But alas, no satisfying explanation

Just what the heck happened to the letter E in the classic grading

E M j iil. H iW iB ia iH il. liJ dates. “Back in the primary grades on Long Island, we had I, N, S and E and no A-B-C-Ds. The letter I was for Incomplete, N for Not Satisfactory, S for Satisfactory and E for Exceeds.” Chattman argues there’s plenty of E for Excellence in today’s schools, but notes, “Maybe we’re just conforming to some views in the media that there’s no excel lence anymore in public schools.” Our pioneering education administra

bounces off the tip of his tongue. “I’ll try to get back to you on that,” he offers politely. So, while we wait patiently for the final word, here’s a suggestion for all you budding fame-hungry researchers: When you’ve nailed down your thesis on whatev er happened to E, please let us know — and be sure to launch your own Web sites, too.

SEVEN DAYS

Students legrnto make peace through a tnediatltemB y H elen H usher eople are quarrelsome, and most of the time they argue with the conviction that someone is right and will win. After all, this is the model offered by our legal system and by “Judge Judy,” that weird offshoot of jurisprudence on television, where every hair cut, car repair and trip to the dry cleaner is a new opportunity for grievance. The grammar of fighting is that one party will emerge correct and victorious, the other party wrong, morally flawed and stupid. But what if the vindication of winning — and the pain o f losing — are unnecessary? W hat if both people can come away satisfied, confident they have defended and advanced their interests? Is there room in our lives, and in the courts, for less shouting and more diplo macy? Peaceful resolution is the goal of the Mediation and Conflict Management Program at Montpelier’s Woodbury College, a one-year course in listening, brokering, facilitating and offering a safe arena for people to quarrel pro ductively. Although most of Woodbury’s 150 students are earning paralegal degrees, demand for the mediation class has grown so much over the past 15 years there is a waiting list for wannabe peace makers. “Good mediators have learned from their own lives,” says admissions Director Kathleen Moore, “and have reflected on life’s difficulties.” Describing the program as a practice-based cur riculum that makes unusual demands on stu dents, she concedes, “The best students are usually older students, and especially older stu dents who are genuinely curious about people and understand their own weaknesses.” Paul Lambe, associate director of

Woodbury’s full-service public Dispute Resolution Center, adds that mediators must also be “trustworthy, empathetic, intelligent and have a really good sense of humor.” All these attributes come in handy in a setting where the academic work load is reinforced with internships, court experience and mock mediation in the classroom. Mediators go where most of us fear to tread — into the middle of divorces, employment disputes, human rights cases, environmental and land-use disagreements, and the complicat ed muddle of small claims. David Wagner, a recent graduate and CEO of David Wagner Consulting in Hinesburg, uses his mediation skills to build organizational strength in client companies and to develop workshops on gen der and racial equity. These are touchy subjects that are often fraught with violent feelings. Yet the mediators go there, apparently unfazed by delicate balances most of us would find over whelming. Curiously, it is exactly these cases where mediation seems to work best. Woodbury grad Gregg Hessler of Cheshire Mediation in Keene, New Hampshire, points out that his job is to provide a setting in which the parties can feel safe, because that’s when they do their best work. “If I try to fix the problem for them,” he says, “then it won’t hold up. But if I make it possible for them to really talk together, the outcome becomes their solution.” Lambe agrees. “You have to have a belief that the people in the dispute hold the key to its resolution. If you can get them unstuck, get them to articulate what they really want, you can get them to separate their interests from specific objects like cars or money. Sometimes just being heard is a reasonable goal.” Continued on page 16

Continued from page 14 This evocation of goals and interests, stories and wishes, ideas and outcomes is the absorbing primary task of mediators, yet they also have an obligation to remain above the fray and under stand their implicit limitations. “Not everything can be mediat ed,” concedes Lambe. “Cases with radically unequal power relationships, cases that involve physical or emotional abuse, cases where violence and intimi dation are in the background, really don’t lend themselves to the process.” Some cases can be mediated as long as attorneys are standing by in a supporting role. Not a problem: Hessler points out that people need good legal advice to see what’s available to them through another process. “Some clients are best served by litiga tion,” he says. Unlike a mediator, who remains neutral, “attorneys have an obligation to their client and their interests. It’s their role, and it’s very valuable.”

n Vermont, the relationship between lawyers and media tors is complex but curiously free of friction. Veteran Montpelier attorney Alan Rome is a big believer in the mediation process. “I have a background in labor relations,” he explains, “and saw way back in the ’70s that it’s better for people to resolve things on their own as much as possi ble. They know their situation far better than the person on the bench in the black robe.” Rome concedes that a few lawyers may resent the rising availability of skilled mediators, who work at about half of a lawyer’s hourly rate and may impinge on the traditional attor ney territory. “But what’s impor tant,” he says, “is that in Vermont the judges are on board. They see that mediation, espe cially in delicate matters like divorce, often gets everyone to a better outcome through the process. Mediation is about mak ing people feel okay, and about making agreements people will honor. Judges know that if the parents in a divorce are okay, the kids will very likely be okay. In mediation, this is often how it works out. Nobody has to be a loser.” Vermont Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Amestoy is defi nitely on board. Back in May, he spoke at Woodbury College about the growing nationwide acceptance of alternatives to stan dard jurisprudence. He traced its momentum to “a sense o f crisis most akin to Franklin Roosevelt’s search for solutions to the eco nomic catastrophe of the Great Depression.” The increasing demands on the legal system require the system to offer alter natives or be crushed under its own weight. “Vermont’s judicial system,” Amestoy said, “is beset by rising water.” Trained mediators, certified by the Vermont Mediators Association, can expect to find

plenty of work in courts looking for efficient solutions with limit ed resources. But many Woodbury grads never end up in court. They fin ish their training and, despite the career opportunities, simply carry their skills back to their old jobs so they can work more effective ly. The Woodbury program has graduated physicians, nurses, educators, managers, administra tors, even horse trainers. These alumni returned to former situtations with new tools to manage tension, supervise employees and, in the case of the horse trainer, to mediate disputes around highstakes sales. W hen people are cranky in the workplace, these undercover agents offer a dose of prevention. Fran Stoddard, an associate pro fessor of media studies and video production at Champlain College, says her Woodbury training gave her a “life skill that’s useful in board work and work with employees. I can help when I see people getting caught up in narrow solutions, and I now understand the power and the magic of listening well.” Lambe surely finds this par ticular trend comforting, espe cially when he talks about the need for early intervention, before disputes harden into stiff, fixed positions. “There’s a grow ing interest in finding out how we can grow healthier organiza tions,” he says, “and how whole communities can practice pre vention.” This is mediation a lit tle at a time, like a morning vita min — the results are subtle and cumulative, and different from! the traditional, sometimes crisisdriven, mediation session. There’s room for both, but Lambe is quick to point out that the job, however it’s done, is not all roses. “It’s difficult,” he says. “There’s no praise at the end for the mediator — people get to agreement, feel relief, and go off together with their issues settled by mutual agreement. But they don’t say thank you, and they don’t invite you along for the cel ebratory drink. You have to get your kick from $omewhere else, from knowing that you empow ered other people, from knowing you managed the process well.”

he program at Woodbury enrolls 24 students, which makes it, by default, selec tive. Described by its alumni as both challenging and supportive, it offers personal and professional growth in an emphatically handson setting, with more than 100 hours of internship and court time, or what Wagner calls “prac tice, practice, practice. Some times the work we did in school was much harder than what we encountered on the outside,” he adds. One of the tools of the trade at Woodbury is the unblinking video camera; students role-play and carry out mock mediations in the classroom, watch them selves, and then get feedback from teachers and classmates. “Dealing with emotions and staying impartial are challenges,’

mediators is complex but, curiously free of friction.! says Lambe, “and understanding others means you start with yourself.” This takes support and plenty of professional modeling — the academic components of read ings and discussions are continu ally reinforced through interac tion. Comprehension skills are learned by actively listening, negotiation by actually putting together deals. “Students also learn how to prepare for a ses sion, how to develop written agreements, how to structure encounters by setting ground rules and conducting interviews,” says Lambe. And how do they learn this? By seeing how the process works, seeing what others do, and then doing it. This is not a setting where you can down load your term papers off the Web and pass your class time silently in the back row. Through these encounters, students discover the outlines of their own prejudices and the places their various personal hot buttons reside. Wagner says it was through Woodbury’s approach that he learned “intro spection. I learned to look at my personal history and sense what kinds of cases I could handle and what kinds I probably couldn’t. I learned to listen to my own ten sion and pay attention to it.” This self-awareness is the wellspring of a mediator’s effec

tiveness, along with empathy and alertness. “Students have to be able to track what’s been said and what the facts are,” says Lamb. “It’s a mistake in mediation to ask people to explain something more than once.” Mastering the narrative can be advanced by good note-tak ing, but it also requires intelli gence, a sense of nuance and, of course, more practice. For potential students who want to test the waters, Woodbury opens up its basic mediation workshop to the pub lic; for $585, you can spend three and a half days immersed in the discipline. And if the idea of committing most of the week seems impossible, Woodbury also offers regular introductory orien tations with the faculty that run just a few hours and cost nothing at all. The tuition for the full cer tification program is $11,400. Lambe says that the admis sions process has an “uncanny way of sorting itself out,” often through dialogue with faculty and administrators. “W hp makes a good mediator?” he asks. “We have talked about that a lot and the answer, finally, is that nobody knows. People seem to self-select their way into the program, and to chose their own paths once they are out of it” — no doubt encountering fewer obstacles along the way. ®

can’t say for certain that a couple of gin-and-grapefruits saved my college career, but they certainly didn’t hurt. My first college writing assignment had been looming for weeks: I had done most of the reading, attended class conscientiously, and piled notes and references on both sides of my typewriter. Still, the paper remained stub bornly blank. Sensing my rising panic, the juniors living in the suite next door announced a mid-week “Happy Hour,” mixed a couple of stiff drinks, and told me to relax and just start writing. I don’t remember the grade I

received on the paper I blurrily tapped out that night, but at least I handed in something. Writer’s block. It’s embarrass ing, but it really does happen to everyone at some point in their lives — especially in college. Like so many other activities in life, over-preparation, anticipa tion, anxiety and pressure can crush creative impulses and ruin performance. Unfortunately, writing is not purely a recre ational activity in college; it’s an integral part of most liberal arts courses and, eventually, you have to figure out mechanisms for coping with blocks. The solution, of course, is to relax and regain your confidence, something more easily said than done. If you or your next-door

neighbors have a well-stocked bar or refrigerator, that’s obvi ously one solution. But there’s a fine distinction between relax ation and incoherence, and unless you have Hemingwayesque tolerances, it’s easy to over do it. The point, after all, is to overcome writer’s block, not drown it. In today’s wired world, one of the best antidotes for frustrat ed writers is the World Wide Web — though it doesn’t hurt to ask advice of the person for whom you are actually writing the paper. As is often the case, the first challenge in using the Web as a resource is to identify the help you need and to avoid being overwhelmed by the num ber of choices. The second chal-

y o u n lv o ^ o ^ o u T ^ ^ H lenge is a moral one: determining where you draw the line between writing “assistance” and outright cheating. In theory, we all graduated from high school knowing how to write a research paper, but the reality doesn’t always match the abstract. If you’re staring at a paper assignment without the foggiest idea of how to start, it’s clearly time for a refresher course. Take a few minutes to visit the Nuts and Bolts of College Writing Web site at nutsandbolts.washcoll.edu. Created and run by Washington College professor Michael Harvey, the site offers students a step-by-step guide to writing a college research paper. Its divided into various comprehensive categories — Thinking, Style, Structure, Evidence, Mechanics and the End. No major moral issues here: Its highly unlikely that any pro fessor would object to a student visiting a site like Nuts and Bolts. The goal of the site, after all, is to teach you how to write a

research paper, not do it for you. O f course, simply knowing how is a far cry from actually doing it. At some point, you’ll be faced with the problem of uncov ering information to develop and support your arguments. Ideally, your classwork should give you some idea of where to start, but if an active social life has elimi nated that possibility, you might be interested in some research assistance. On a good day, a classmate or significant other can be cajoled or bribed into helping you, but you’ll get more predictable results from someone like “Jim the Friendly Research Assistant” at www.friendlyjim.com. On his Web site, Jim claims to be an 18year veteran in the research trade offering to help students with a variety of different projects, rang ing from essays to term papers to simple book reports. O f course, thanks to the anonymity of the Web, he could just as easily be a precocious 12-year-old with time on his hands. If you decide to hire someone like “Jim,” it’s a

good idea to talk to him on the phone and also to ask for refer ences. Jim’s rates start at $9 per page, though he charges more for “rush” and “difficult” jobs. His rates are definitely at the low end for this type of work: One com petitor, Cheap Research, at cheapresearch.com, starts at $20 per page for www.research assis tance, while another, Research Assistance, www.research-assistance.com, has rates ranging from $22 to $35 per page. For those who might have missed it, the slippery moral slope starts right here. The point of most research assignments, after all, is to help you actually learn something about a subject. Having someone do the research for you seriously compromises that goal, and few professors will react cheerfully if they learn you hired someone to do your work for you. If you use any of these research services, how likely is it that you’ll be caught? It depends on how you use the research you buy. If you actually use the research as a starting place for your own work, or take the time to draft a paper based on the research, the chances of being discovered are pretty low. An additional benefit, of course, is that you may actually learn something in the process, which will be an enormous help if the professor decides to have an indepth discussion with you about your carefully “researched” paper. O f course, in times of high workload and looming year-end deadlines, the real temptation is to take the neatly worded, beau tifully organized research paper that just arrived by e-mail, copy it into your word processor, and zap a copy to the professor. The temptation grows even greater when people discover that the shortcut doesn’t have to cost $20 or $30 per page: Numerous Web sites offer previously submitted papers for $5 to $9 a page, and a few charge only a one-time admission fee of $9.95 for access to thousands of papers. There’s not a lot of wiggle room here. Again, if you use a previously submitted paper as a starting place to help you write your own paper, there’s relatively little harm in paying $179 to A1 Termpaper, at www.al-termpaper.com, for a 20-page treatise on “United States Social Welfare Legislation During the Last Ten Years.” And, in fact, all of the Web sites that sell research and term papers explicitly state that they are for background purposes only. O f course, that claim is roughly equivalent to saying that semi-automatic weapons are designed for recreational hunting only. If you claim authorship of a paper someone else wrote, you are committing plagiarism, which is a violation o f academic codes at every school in the country. If your conscience is not

enough to keep you from hand ing in a purchased paper, con cern over your grade should be. The quality of papers available on-line varies greatly, particularly on the sites that offer large num bers of papers for a small one time fee. Here’s a sample of a high school paper from Genius Papers (www.geniuspapers.com): “Fate”: Reading a work o f liter ature often makes a reader experi ence certain feelings. These feelings dijfer with the content o f the work, and are usually needed to perceive the author’s ideas in the work. For example, Samuel Beckett augments a reader’s understanding o f Waiting for God by conveying a mood, (one which the characters in the play experience), to the reader. Similarly, a dominant mood is thrust upon a reader in Beowulf. These moods which are conveyed aid the author in conveying ideas to a reader. Samples viewed at other paper warehouses, including Big Nerds, and the well-known Evil House of Cheat, were similar. It is possible to find thoughtful, well-written papers on-line, but the time spent looking for them could better be spent developing your own paper. And then there’s a small copyright issue. As Friendly Jim points out on his Web site, “All documents are copyrighted” and “may not be submitted either in whole or in part for academic credit.” The same is true for papers purchased from other Web sites: The copyright in the text is owned either by the stu dent who wrote the paper or the Web site offering it for sale. Use of someone else’s material as your own does expose you to civil lia bility under federal law, although, in reality, the chances of being sued are relatively small. A much more likely and seri ous outcome is getting caught by your professor. Regardless of whether you buy research from a professional like Jim or purchase another student’s paper, it is doubtful that it will precisely match your writing style, your own research skills or the profes sor’s assessment o f your abilities. If you use a paper verbatim from a research or term paper Web site, the chances are excellent that your professor can find the paper almost as quickly as you did. It will only take one match to put a serious, and perhaps per manent, dent in your academic career. Writer’s block can be enor mously frustrating, but with the on-line resources available today, it doesn’t have to be completely debilitating. W ith a little plan ning — i.e., not waiting until the last minute — you can resist the temptation of pre-written research papers and use the writer’s tools on the Web to pro duce your own persuasive papers.

excuses for what does not. And Mountain Dew, I know, is a stu dent’s best defense against morn ings one-two punch — their brain-cleaving hangovers and my sleep-inducing lectures. So we eye each other warily across the street these first days back, like enemy soldiers staring across a battle line. But this year, they’ve met their match. For while they were noodle-dancing in concert park ing lots across America this sum

mer, I was honing my college combat skills. I’m not talking about some lame-o assertiveness training seminar in a cheesy hotel conference room with dough nuts, nametags and rose-colored tablecloths. I was right in the trenches: teaching college in Israel. Maybe it’s unfair to describe my summer job in military terms, since the goals of students and teachers rarely conflict — though both parties may periodi-

cally think and act otherwise. Its even more unfair to the Israelis, since it trivializes the role the military plays in securing their tiny, predominantly Jewish nation in the middle of the Muslim world. Not to mention the fact that perhaps no one desires peace more desperately than they do. Still, it was a bat tle, that teaching gig, one that’s prepared me for the new semes ter in ways I’d never imagined. In keeping with its collegeof-the-21st-century mission, Champlain College has opened satellite campuses in such farflung places as Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia, largely to create higher-educa tion opportunities outside the countries’ exclusive, mainstream university systems. I taught a session in Tel Aviv, where some 2000 Israeli students are pursu ing Champlain degrees. It would take an essay the length of the Torah to describe all I learned in the process, but here’s a little bit of “compare and contrast.”

There’s no way to say this without sounding like a pig, but I’ll try. The Tel Avivans are a Mediterranean people, ancLas such, they favor aTather reveal ing mode o f dress suited to their sunny clime. This is most notice able in the women, whose -afnple, exposed skin and form fitting attire make the average Burlington co-ed look like an Amish exchange student. My first day of class, I thought I’d accidentally stumbled into a vice-squad lockup. Also, many Tel Aviv males, despite their otherwise tough countenance, follow the women’s fashion lead. They’ve cornered the market on sleeveless, skin tight T-shirts and calf-length pedal-pushers. At the risk of sounding culturally insensitive, I have to say it was hard hiding a smirk when arguing grades with Rizzo from Grease. And everyone — everyone — packs a cell phone, although the general tightness of slacks neces sitates carrying these units in hand. The cell phone is a boon to the bored student, who can occupy himself checking his email and phone messages and, as one of my colleagues discovered too late, sending answers to another student during exams. The American instructors were advised to take a hard line against cell-phone use, lest our classrooms become as noisy as the rest of Israel. My strictness worked too well. The first student I shut down in the middle of a call decided he couldn’t stay off the line for an entire class period. He left in a huff and didn’t return for five weeks. I’d hate to see his phone bill. He probably feels the same way about his grade.

I see now that I’m already guilty of being shallow, and of making sweeping generalizations. Let me try to ameliorate that by noting the rich “life experience” college students in Israel bring to their work. To start with, most Israelis complete their compulso ry military duty right out of high school, whereupon many travel abroad. So most students I encountered had served their country and caught a glimpse of how people live elsewhere in the world. Many students had come from elsewhere in the world, in one way or another. Palestinian cities and towns are not another part o f the world, geographically speaking, but the cultural experi ences of Palestinian and other Arab students added a unique dimension to our classroom dynamic, especially considering the fragile peace between their families and neighbors and those of their non-Arab classmates. Granted, everything I know about Middle Eastern politics would fit in a coffee cup, with

Saturday:

plenty of room left for milk, but I’ll admit I was moved by how well the Palestinian and Israeli students got along in class. This was often on my mind during the Camp David summit, when elsewhere in Israel tensions were running high. At the height of the summit, I attended a Jewish settlers’ rally in Tel Aviv that, frankly, turned my stomach with its fear-mongering propaganda about the impending horrors of returning West Bank land to Palestinian rule — land the settlers occupy in violation of international law. Around this time I also visited a rehab clinic in the Gaza Strip for Palestinians wounded in the intifada, where a simple question about the prospects for peace nearly brought a wheelchairbound man to his feet with rage. Those were days I was happy to see Arabs, Jews and the odd Christian working collaboratively in class, even when they were supposed to be working alone. Add to the student rolls a large number of immigrants from the former U.S.S.R. — part of the estimated one million emigres from eastern Europe in the past decade — and the pic ture of the Israeli people that emerged was far more diverse than I’d expected. It was also a picture — a blurred snapshot — of a pivotal moment in the country’s history, as is every day the sun rises and sets without a major military clash. Half a cen tury into Israel’s statehood, the ^rules of the road are still being Written, a constitution still being drafted. Yet so long as no one blows up the bridge that has led them into the 21st century, that road work could create a last track to prosperity, thanks largely to the nation’s booming hightech industry. But growth can be painful. As one student theorized, Israel’s cultural diversity, combined with breakneck development and the absence of a clear plan for the future, leaves it to individuals to push the boundaries of conduct. Will Israel become an Americanstyle democracy, a Jewish reli-

made Bill Clinton’s dodge about the deflnition of “is” sound like the callow warbiings of a firstyear law student.

One would never call Israel a lawless society — there are too many gun-toting soldiers on the streets to make that mis take — but people seem to embrace the notion that getting what they want, be it a dinner check, a taxi or a college educa tion, means taking matters into their own hands. It’s an aggres sive society, and the meek shall inherit jack. This assertiveness no doubt fueled my students’ attempts to get out of homework assign ments, a task they attacked with greater conviction than one typi cally encounters in Burlington. Here, I’ve had slackers tell me they “don’t appreciate” having to write a five-page paper in the twilight o f the semester. There, I had students simply refuse to write it. But when the inevitable negotiations over such matters ensued in Israel, I received a les son in persuasive speech that

Seems the temptation to surf the Web for a short paper here, a homework assignment there, is as strong for Israeli students as for their American counterparts. There had to be some reason why one student was able to miss half our class meetings, complete no

As a result, in Israel you don’t hear many excuses involv-

ing dying grannies, just a lot ally gave these students the bene fit o f the doubt, but I began to wonder why no one ever seemed to be called anywhere but the Golan Heights. I mean, if I wanted to find a soldier in Israel, I’d march straight to a shopping mall, since they are usually mobbed with troops. Funny, in the U.S. heavi ly armed mallrats are a problem; in Israel they call it “national security.” Guns, cell phones.and tight slacks aside, I developed great respect for Israel and her people. Champlain College has set up shop there to fill a desperate need for higher education, and of all the things the Israeli students know — about war, peace and the trials of building a new nation — they know better than to take such an opportunity for granted. It’s a lesson I wish more American students would learn. I guess that’s the real battle I’m now trained to fight. ®

Mentes Burlington ALL BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE As a balding male that owns Birks and has facial hair, I could care less what Lynda Majarian thinks of men [“Cueball and Mr. Reject,” July 19]. I am comfortable enough with myself that I can deal with whatever she and others think of me. That her article got such a rise out of the male community is great. She was making fun and you guys can’t take a joke. Deal with it. Haven’t you ever watched “Seinfeld”? If you guys have such low self esteem and are worried about a meaningless dis by some total stranger that you feel the need to stoop so low as to call her names — the “droopy” comment — go out and buy yourselves some Rogaine, if you haven’t already. The fact is that everyone has per sonal views that someone is bound to take offense to and she has the luxury of writing them in public. Good for her. She’s a great writer and I hope to continue to read her off-beat comments as well as infor mative articles. So if you are bald or fat or obsessive-compulsive or hairy or short or white or dyslexic or a run ner or a lawyer, don’t worry about it; we are all beautiful people. — Nate Merrill Dorset

SUPPORT ANKENEY We in Chittenden County are once again very fortunate to have Jean Ankeney running for reelec tion to the Vermont Senate. Jean is a caring and compassionate woman and has a proven track record of accomplishments during the past eight years in the senate. Early childhood education is a pri mary interest to Jean and she will fight to pass legislation and secure funding that will help our children get off to a good educational start. She is also concerned about the sprawl issue in Chittenden County and supports measures to help rein in uncontrolled growth while maintaining our healthy economy. Most importantly, Jean is a woman who cares about our chil dren, our elders, our working poor and about the environment in which we live. Her many years in public service as a nurse and edu cator are a testimony to this fact. I encourage all Chittenden County residents to cast a vote for Senator Jean Ankeney in the upcoming Democratic primary. A vote for Jean is a vote for making Vermont an even better place to live and thrive. — Richard H.

We build strong kids, strong families, strong communities.

Weekly Mail Continued from page 28 could lead to a “new, gender-based form of prejudice.” Apparently, the latest product TV is selling us is a new misogyny, as if the old wasn’t substantial enough. The programs described por tray women as vapid objects of titillation and ridicule. Objectifica tion of any group, however defined, makes it far easier to com mit violence against that group. It is a familiar tactic used to allow human beings to commit unspeak able acts against groups no longer viewed as possessing human traits. In this country, gender-based rights are already seriously restrict ed. A womans right to travel safely throughout this country is serious ly infringed. Women cannot sim ply walk down the street on their own after dark without fear. While the U.S. is quick to elevate itself as one of the most progressive nations in the world, the national level of violence against women is intolera bly high. This is not indicative of an evolved or progressive country relative to human rights... I would urge anyone that has these programs beamed into their homes to write a letter of complaint to their networks and sponsors. — Deborah Loring Burlington GANNETT BORN AGAIN? You helped explain why the Free Press has not run an editorial on civil unions [Inside Track]. It’s part o f . . . the Gannett culture —

pander to born-again Christians whenever you can. Here in New Jersey, the Gannett-owned Home News Tribune (East Brunswick) goes overboard on religion. The smallest religious event by any church gets a big story and pictures. At the same time, the Home News Tribune has not printed a single news story about the cam paign against Dr. Laura. Even more chilling is the fact that the Home News Tribune refused to run ads for the movies Sunshine and Liberty Heights even though they played at theaters in the newspaper’s area. . . — Charles Everett Bridgewater, NJ REMEMBER FREEDOM IN NOVEMBER Every week, I scan ...other local rags to see what kind of filth and hatred is offered up by our more mentally sequestered neigh bors. Specifically, I am referring to those eyebrow-raising articles head lined REMEMBER IN NOVEM BER. I roll my eyes and wonder how these people manage to con vince themselves that their agenda is not fueled by petty hatred and insecurities... I am a happily het erosexual male in a committed, monogomous relationship, and not at all threatened by the so called “homosexual agenda.” In fact, I am very proud to live in a state with legislators who have the sheer guts to throw caution to the wind and stand up for what is morally right by signing the civil-union bill into effect. This is America. Land of the free, right?

Nobody has to approve of homosexual lifestyles, just like they don’t have to approve of my het erosexual lifestyle. It’s a free coun try! Mind your own business. As Vermonters, I figured we would all know that by now. Our kids will be fine. Our homes will be safe. Take a deep breath and let it be. As for these REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER ads, the listing of the legislators who voted for and against the civil-union bill will come in quite handy. I plan to take an ad to the voting booth come November so that I know exactly who to vote for to keep this a free state for everyone. Remember in November: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. — David Boulanger Burlington

OFF T H E M AP Anyone familiar with Putumayo as a clothing brand probably knows the company is a worldmusic label as well. But you can bet Chico Cesar doesn’t buy his clothes from them; the Brazilian star follows a different drummer when it comes to attire, and his hairdo often resembles a potted plant. But appearances are just part of the story — Cesar’s electrifying performances of African and Caribbean-influenced reggae-pop are equally wild. He comes to Higher Ground this Thursday, with fellow Brazilian singer Rita Ribeiro — part of a month-long Festa Brasil Tour celebrating the 500th

deliberate pacing an d tasteful g uitar w ork from Jo n T rafton, “C hasing” benefits from alm ost Beatle-esque p o p structures, an d effects applied as they should be — seasoning, n o t th e w hole meal. T h is is w here Rodgers’ brilliance and good taste shows best — a com pressed vocal there, a flanged guitar there, a big, solid d ru m so u n d th ro u g h o u t (and solid playing by Luke S m ith), a n d sonic touches th a t enhance Strangefolk’s som etim es elaborate arrangem ents. “S inner” changes th e feel w ith a reggae-lite rh y th m an d a so rt o f A llm an-like guitar tone, w ith a hoo k y slide riff an d sing-along chorus. T h is selection jibes well w ith tunes such as the catchy “U tterly A d d led ” or, especially, the countryish “I Tell M yself,” th a t are som ew hat rem i niscent o f early “A m ericana” bands — a style th a t suits th e folk-rockish side o f Strangefolk. A lternatively, “Pawn” is an ou tstan d in g , funk- a n d r& b -in flu en ced cut, layering quick, ch u n k y g uitar licks an d extraordinary sax w ork from C h ic player Bill H o llo m an .

m usic from here. It’s te m p tin g to suggest they hire a h o rn section im m ediately, o r at least a h o t saxophonist, to fu rth er develop the bigb an d edge th a t A Great Long While projects — an d th a t th e four-piece ca n n o t possibly sustain outside th e studio. Personally, I’m n o t partial to th e too-fussy arrangem ents o f songs like “Invisible.” H ere a lovely, pro m isin g refrain is dashed against a harsh u p te m p o section, th en it breaks in to a bridge th a t seem s like a different song altogether, an d allows T rafton to overplay — so m eth in g he needs n o en co u rag em en t to do. T h e closer, “C a b in Jo h n ” also begins w ith a nice rolling, rh y th m ic tem po an d m em orable, killer-h arm o n y chorus, th en drifts in to a pretty, dream y section, th e n eventually goes back to th e original rolling feel an d a few guitar pyrotechnics. It’s a b it m uch to ask o f a single song — outside o f a rock opera — an d illus trates th e o nly fault o f this record, o r perhaps o f this b a n d at this tim e: In w h at is clearly a peri o d o f grow th an d change, S trangefolk seem to be ex p erim en tin g w ith different feels and sounds, an d have yet to settle o n one. N o t th a t they have to, b u t th ere is a p o in t w here too m u c h diversity — at least o n a single C D — is n o t necessarily a good th in g . T h e y have app ro ach ed th a t p o in t here. T h a t qu ib b le aside, Strangefolk certainly prove they have th e chops to consider different paths, since o n A Great Long While th ey m ix up hard an d soft rock, co u n try a n d reggae, groove an d funk. In th e long ru n it’s a satisfying stew, even w ith a few too m an y ingredients. T h is C D is a m ilestone for a b an d th a t started as an acoustic d u o earnestly slogging o u t cover tunes at b ar gigs d u rin g college.

PiCturEs previews GRASS Canadian filmmaker Ron Mann has assembled a laugh-packed collec tion of archival footage documenting decades of anti-marijuana hysteria in this country. Woody (who else?) Harrelson narrates. (PG-13) WHIPPED From director Peter Cohen comes this romantic comedy about three young men and the one woman they all fall for. Amanda Peet stars. (R) HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME They still make these things? And people actually pay to see them? Christopher Lambert clings to his last shred of job security in this umpteenth sequel in the swash buckling time-travel series that also fea tures cast members from the spin-off TV show. (R)

THE CELL**** Jennifer Lopez stars in the visually adventurous saga of a child therapist who explores the mind of a comatose serial killer hoping to learn the location of his latest victim. With Vince Vaughn. (R) BITTERSWEET MOTEL*** In his latest film, Road Trip director Todd Phillips spends some time on the road with Vermont's own Phish. The 84-minute documentary chronicles a year the band spent touring the U.S. and Europe. (R) SAVING GRACE*** Brenda Blethyn stars in the new film from director Nigel Cole, a comedy about a proper English gardening enthusiast who transforms her estate into a pot plantation. (R) BRING IT ON*** Kirsten Dunst, Gabrielle Union and Jesse Bradford star in this saga about the rivalry between two top cheerleading squads. Peyton Reed directs. (PG-13) THE ART OF WAR**1'2 What on Earth is Wesley Snipes doing in this dated, ’80s-style dumbathon about a security

expert battling a band of ruthless terror ists? Did somebody lose Jean-Claude Van Damme’s phone number? (R) THE REPLACEMENTS*** Keanu Reeves is a washed-up quarterback. Gene Hackman the loose-cannon coach who hires him to lead his team of majorleague misfits to the play-offs in the midst of an NFL players’ strike in this Tin Cup-meets-Necessary Roughness

comedy combo. (PG-13) GODZILLA 2000** No relation to Matthew Broderick’s made-in-the-USA fiasco, this is the latest in the long and good, old-fashioned line of Japanese imports. It pits the big lizard against a space monster that’s just wakened from a 6000-year nap. Takao Okawara directs. Yes, the Takao Okawara. (PG) BLOOD SIMPLE**** Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1984 feature debut stars Dan Hedaya as a bar owner who suspects his wife of two-timing him. It’s now receiving a well-deserved re-release. M. Emmet Walsh and Francis McDormand costar. (R) SPACE COWBOYS***1'2 Clint Eastwood directs and costars in this geriatric jour ney to the heavens in which four oldtime Air Force vets are sent to defuse a deadly Cold War-era satellite.

With Jimmy Smits. (R) AUTUMN IN NEW YORK**1'2 Uh-oh, Weepie Alert! Winona Ryder and — yeah, right — Richard Gere are MayFebruary lovers who have reason to fear death is going to part them way ahead of schedule in this by-the-numbers sobathon from director Joan Chen. (PG-13) THE NUTTY PROFESSOR 2: THE KLUMPS**1'2 Has anyone outside the porn industry spent more time in rubber than Eddie Murphy? The comedian slops the stuff on again for this sequel,

in which the good doctor attempts to rid himself of his alter-ego by altering his own DNA. Mostly though, it’s all just an excuse for Murphy to pile on layer after layer of latex and play multi ple oversized, overbearing members of the family Klump. Peter (Tommy Boy) Segal directs. (PG-13) WHAT LIES BENEATH** Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer star in the latest from Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis. Shot partially in Vermont, the picture tells the spooky story of a wife who becomes convinced the ghost of a woman with whom her husband once had an affair is haunting their home and planning to do them harm. Amber Valletta costars. (PG-13) DISNEY’S THE KID** Remember the cool moment toward the end of 12 Monkeys when Bruce Willis encounters a much younger version of himself? Well, execu tives at Disney evidently decided it was so cool the premise merited an entire movie — and a comedy at that. Willis plays a 40-year-old jerk who learns to lighten up with a little help from his inner eight -year-old, who somehow manages to get out. Spencer Breslin .costars. Jon (Phenomenon) Turteltaub directs. THE PERFECT STORM***1'2 Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney reteam for Wolfgang Petersen's deep-sea adap tation of the Sebastian Junger best-sell er about a boatload of fishermen who run head on into a Force 12 gale off the coast of Newfoundland. (PG-13) GONE IN 60 SECONDS**1'2 If you loved The Rock and Con Air, good news: Here comes more of the same. From the same testosterone-addled team comes the rock-’em-sock-’em saga of two (Nicolas Cage and Giovanni Ribisi) sib ling car thieves. With Angelina Jolie and Delroy Lindo. (PG-13) DINOSAUR***1'2 Between the budget for this prehistoric kid-flick and the cost to build the digitial studio needed to pro duce it, Disney has sunk an estimated $350 million into this film. A pretty heavy bet for a coming-of-age cartoon

about a cuddly reptile. Featuring the ;;|J vocal stylings of D.B. Sweeney, Della Reese and Joan Plowright. (PG) FREQUENCY***1'2 Gregory Holbit directs the Field o f Dreams-like story”of a homicide detective who discovers that he can communicate with his dead father via the old man’s short-wave radio. Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel star. (PG-13) CENTER STAGE*** Nicholas ( The Madness of King George) Hynter directs the saga of a group of young dancers pursuing their dreams of ballet glory in New York. Amanda Schull and Peter Gallagher head the ensemble cast. (PG13) GLADIATOR**** Ridley Scott directs this $100 million epic about a Roman gen eral betrayed and sent into exile as a slave. Russell Crowe, Oliver Reed (in his last role) and Joaquin Phoenix star. (R) MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2**1'2 Hong Kong action maestro John Woo directs this sequel to the inexplicable, totally incom prehensible 1996 hit.

(PG-13)

rtewonvideo THE NEXT BEST THING** John (Midnight Cowboy) Schlesinger directs Madonna and Rupert Everett in this kinky look into the true meaning of family.

Confidential Oscar, and the action includes everything from elephants to killer snakes. Hugh Hudson directs the true story of wildlife activist Kuki Gallmann. With Vincent Perez and Liam Aiken. (PG-13) THE BIG KAHUNA*** Kevin Spacey pro duces and stars in the big-screen ver sion of Roger Rueff’s award-winning 1992 play/ Hospitality Suite, the story of three industrial-lubricant salesmen competing to land the biggest deal of their lives.

car talk By Tom & Ray M agliozzi

W IF E REFUSES B IR TH D A Y GIFT OF N E W M ER C ED ES D ea r Tom a n d Ray: O n m y 5 0 th birthday, m y h u sb a n d a n d o ur 7-year-old son took m e b lin d fo ld ed to a car dealership a n d surprised me w ith a Mercedes B e n z E 3 2 0 w ith a g ia n t red ribbon. I h a d m en tio n ed th a t F d always w a n ted a Mercedes since I sat in ) m y uncles car w hen I was 6 years old. I refused the car a t the tim e, because the only available car was green. T he a ctu a l reason I refused i t was sticker shock — $ 4 2 ,0 0 0 ! I celebrated m y 5 1 st — b irthday today, a n d m y son sa id th a t I a m n o t being gracious because I refused th eir g ift. A yea r has passed, a n d m y hus b a n d keeps a skin g m e w h en he can buy m e m y dream car. We currently d rive a 1 9 9 1 Volvo 7 4 0 w ith 1 3 0 ,0 0 0 miles on it. I to ld m y h u sb a n d a n d son th a t I w o u ld ask y o u w h ether the M ercedes was w orth the money f o r the safety a n d comfort. I f

y o u say i t ’s w orth it, I w ill agree to accept the gift. M y h u sband a n d son are eagerly a w a itin g y o u r response.

— Delores TO M : Wow! W hat a nice husband and son you have, Delores. Unless, of course, they have ulterior motives. Your husband may be figuring that he’l l drive the Mercedes, and your son may be assum ing he’ll be taking it with him to college in 10 years. RAY: Actually, I don’t think the issue is whether the car is “worth the money.” An argu m ent can be made either way, depending on how much money you have. The issue, it seems to me, is whether or not this car is a good match for you. TO M : And I can tell that it isn’t. After all, you’ve wriggled out o f taking possession of the car for a year now. Clearly you’re not comfortable with the idea of driving a Mercedes. RAY: And I can understand why. We test-drive just about every car under the sun. And

while every Mercedes we get is an absolutely magnificent car to drive, I’m always a little embarrassed to be seen in it. Why? Because it sends a mes sage. It says, “I’m superior.” And try as they might to lighten up their image, a Mercedes still screams, “Hey, I’ve got more money than you do.” TOM : And some people are perfectly happy telling the world that they’re both superi or AND loaded. But you don’t sound like one of them, Delores (bless your modest lit tle heart). RAY: So, how do you decline graciously? Well, honesty is always the best policy. I’d tell your family that while you’re really touched by how gener ous and wonderful they are, you’ve realized you’re just not a “Mercedes person” after all. Tell them you feel uncomfort able in such an expensive car, and that it feels a little con spicuous for your taste. They’ll understand. TO M : Then make a counter proposal. Suggest that they ' help you pick out an alterna tive — another Volvo, a Volkswagen Passat, a Lexus ES300, or anything else that feels right to you — mechani-

cally and personally. And then propose that they spend some of the savings on a great vaca tion. And if you’re feeling real ly generous — suggest they come, too! G ot a question a b out cars?

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “W henever 1 feel like I can’t go for ward and I can’t go back,” says my friend Briana, “I know I’m on the verge o f a creative surge.” T hen there’s my pal Allie. “Being between a rock and a hard place,” she bub bles, “is an invitation to become very pliable, sort o f like a claymation figure. T h at always lets me squeeze free, and, more than that, works like the psychological equivalent o f a lax ative.” So there you have it, Aries: medicinal words for you to swallow as you squirm in the stuck place.

TAURUS (Apr. , 20-M ay 20): You’re gorgeous right now. Your physical attractiveness is at a peak, and your soul is a stunning work o f art. T his is a good thing, right? Mostly. W hile well-adjusted people will enjoy the unpredictable effects o f your radiant grace, some on-theedge folks may be allergic to it. D on’t let them discourage you from shining full blast. In fact, take their uneasiness as a sign to start wielding your beauty as a beneficent weapon.

GEMINI (M ay 21-June 20): M aybe in late Septem ber I’ll dare *3S^ou to take sm art risks and be a feisty adventurer. R ight now, though, there’s a more hum ble them e to w ork on: your security needs. T h a t’s w hy I’d like you to write out a list o f every last thing that w ould make you feel profound ly safe. N ow I know you G em inis often resist being at peace w ith your destiny. You’re afraid stability m ight dim inish the power you imagine you derive from being so com pul sively restless. But let’s p u t that delusion to sleep for now, OK? Believe it or not, the best way to prep for this autum n’s feisty adven tures will be to build up the cohe sive, dependable, perm anent parts o f your life.

ology

August 31 - Sept. 7

CANCER (June 21 -July 22): W hen he tried scriptwriting, Picasso was unable to invoke anywhere near the same brilliance he possessed as a painter. T h e one play he created, D esire C a u g h t by th e Tail, was a flop. W illiam Shatner, likewise, hasn’t impressed as m any w ith his singing o f “Lucy in the Sky with D iam onds” as he did in his perfor mance as the captain on “Star Trek.” O n the other hand, Leonardo da Vinci turned out some impressive w ork as a scientist in addition to his objets d ’a rt, and Thom as Jefferson was not only a skillful politician but a decent architect. I believe you’re poised to branch out in the da Vinci and Jefferson modes, Cancerian. Your skill in one sphere is ripe for translation into another.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): H oned in the fires o f strenuous meditations, purified by many years o f battling m y selfishness, distilled from careful reading in a wide variety o f sacred texts, this horoscope is w orth $1.6 million. But for you, Leo, it’s absolutely free — on two condi tions. All I ask is the following: First, that you give generously and joyous ly o f resources you’ve always been a bit stingy about, and second, that you not even worry about whether you’ll receive anything in return for your gifts. T h in k you can do that?

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you build it, they will come. If you merely pretend to build it, they may come anyway, and end up staying because o f your other charms. If you play hard to get or give out mixed messages, they’ll be intrigued and attracted for a short time, but

probably won’t actually come. My advice, then, is to at least start pre tending to build the sucker in earnest while you find out if you have the stamina and interest to actually do it.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): Flush your placebos down the toilet, Libra. D onate your psychological crutches to charity. I have every rea son to expect that the next three weeks will bring you a glorious vic tory over your bad self, not to m en tion the bad selves o f a couple of other people. A streak o f warrior pluck is about to possess you, killing off the meek visions that have soured your luck. In fact, I’ll make this reckless but true prophe cy: N ot since 1996 have you had this much power over debilitating habits, lame excuses and weakness disguised as strength.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I have acquired two new gurus. O ne is my old acquaintance Mark, the most boring nuisance I’ve ever known. I hadn’t seen him in years but he just moved to the town where I live. T he other is George W. Bush, who has moved to the top o f the list o f performers I distrust. W hy are they my gurus? Because I long ago made a vow to love and bless all sentient beings, and this is tough to do w ith people who repulse me. T hus I feel tremendous gratitude for George and Mark. T hey’re prodding me w ith frontier teachings about the work I have to do to live up to my ideals. M ay I hum bly suggest you try a similar approach, Scorpio? Pledge to extract all the value you can from those w ho ignore you, frustrate you, or

disagree with you. If this week had a title it’d be “Snuggling Up to Strange Bedfellows.”

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I trust you’ve indulged in at least two lengthy sabbaticals this summer, and I hope that during your furloughs you ripened your fantasy life dramatically. If you’ve been heeding all the divine guidance that’s been offered, your im agina tion now has a very wide expanse in which to wander, and you’re as unburdened by the past as you’ve been in many moons. W hich brings us to your next assignment. Speaking on behalf o f the same cos mic powers that invited you to run wild and free, I suggest that you enjoy a reverse va ca tio n — a period when you take time out from your leisure schedule so as to apply your self w ith voracious enthusiasm to the work you love best.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): I’m not one o f those hide bound astrologers who asserts that all Capricorns are stuffy prigs. Some o f the rowdiest minds I’ve ever known have belonged to members o f your tribe. Still, I believe that many o f you do periodically suffer from an excess o f dignity and deco rum . T h at’s why I suggest you visit the Burning M an festival, an eightday revel in the Nevada desert where everyone is a crazy genius artist and naked pagans dance in ecstatic trance around bonfires con secrated to the Goddess. (For info, go to w w w .burningm an.com .) If that’s too far away, find an event closer to hom e where you can become inflamed w ith unreasonable joy and wise foolishness.

V I #% &

iQUARIUS

(Jan. ?0-Feb. 18): I predict that you’ll dream o f Ronald M cD onald twice in the com ing week. I foresee that in the first dream you will passively sit back and grin num bly as he shows off his standard shtick. But by the second dream you will rise up and shout, “I’ll have no goddam n commercials in my dreams, thank you,” then stuff a Burger King W hopper down his pants. I believe this liberating sequence will m irror events in your waking life — perhaps even be a spur for a healthy rebellion and escape.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You Pisceans are the m ost devotion al o f all the signs. O ne o f your potential superpowers, in fact, is your reverent and creative dedica tion to w hat you love. Given the intensity o f this gift, it’s crucial that you choose wisely about where you direct it. W hile you may be tem porarily energized from obsessively helping a no-good loser or w orship ping a celebrity who rem inds you o f your own dorm ant, god-like nature, you know there are m uch better receptacles into which to pour your adoration. A nd now is the perfect tim e to fine-tune your priorities.®

Dear Lola, I get turned on by dimmer switches. Well, net the dimmer switches themselves, actually, but the way they make the lights g o up and down. That silent, subtle slid ing, bright light easing down to lower light, then slipping into high shad ow and tjinally plunging through deeper shadow into full darkness, only to ease back cut through high shadow and lower light before finally burst ing back cut into full bright light... whew. Just writing about it nearly sends me sliding off my chair. Is there a name for this particular fetish, or am I a singular sickc? Light-sensitive in Lyndcnville Dear Light-sensitive, Phctcphiles, more commonly known as lumen lovers, are a rare but well-documented breed. Common symp toms include making such statements as "I like watching sunsets even more than having sex, ” and yo u are the light of my life." The condition is generally considered harmless, but those whom it affects are advised to take the extra precaution of con templating the queen of England when driving in and cut of tunnels. Love, ~
