ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE Timely Patting j When Briton~ *Malcolm Eccles, 50, died of bowel cancer, his family turned him into a kitchen aid. In accordance with his wishes, they keep his ashes in a specially crafted glass egg-timer. "I can t boil a soft egg to save my life," widow Brenda Eccles said. "He knew that and said 1 should turn some of his ashes into an eggtimer. Then he could help me and it would be a nice way of remembering him."

John William Howard, 45, fled Maryland, where he was wanted on sexual assault charges, and headed for Arizona. Passing through Brookshire, Texas, low on gas and cash, he tried to sell his spare tire to raise some money. A local merchant informed him about a police loan program for just such predicaments, so Howard went to the police station to apply. A routine check turned up his fugitive status, according to police Chief Joe Garcia, who called Howard "one of the world's dumbest

ALL-TIME LOW You have stooped to an alltime low in permitting the publication of Peter Freyne s columns exposing and slandering Fred Hill. The contents are vicious and cruel and serve no purpose. It is not only despicable but irresponsible journalism. If any of you owns a Bible, look up Paul's Letter to the Romans (14:10), which reads, "Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God." I hope that Peter Freyne's conscience is as white as the driven snow when it is his turn to meet his maker! Just for your information, I shall not be reading Seven Days again. — Peggy Tooker Colchester

N O ACTING SHORTAGE In 8/13 s "BackTalk" you ^ ^ ^ imply the Growling Pup Theatre Festival has created a shortage of Burlington actors. It is not actors Burlington is lacking, it is theater spaces. Aside from the Flynn and the universities, Burlington has had only one theater space — City Hall. Yet amazingly, Burlington is cultivating a huge number of actors and maintaining over a dozen theater groups. The thought that Burlington is short on actors is preposterous. Despite published casting difficulties, artists turned producer/director, Debra Neff and Adriano Shaplin, have both done great jobs > putting their respective shows together — especially for one-person operations without the ' resources of their own full-fledged companies. And Adriano, with colleague Michael Evans, has already this summer mounted two shows with the festival and two at the Rhombus Gallery. Okay, so out of 15 main-stage shows at Growling Pup, one off-night reading got canceled. I should point out that the very week of his reading, Josh Bridgman, our canceling director, still managed to perform at Rhombus' evening of monologues.

The problem is, each theater company has its own little private puddle of talent. Local theater artists are experiencing a grand trend towards greater cooperation, but unfortunately there is no one single city-wise database for finding actoifs. Burlington City Arts is trying to help with Arts Line at 8 6 5 - 9 1 6 3 , a free service that announces upcoming events and auditions. With Magic Hat's creation of an actual theater space, Growling Pup is going to pale against the coming explosion of both local and out-oftown theater. For years, out-of-town theater companies have been locked out of Burlington because there's no place to perform. Yet now booking inquiries are already pouring in. So, Paula, if you think there's a "glut" of performances now, I think you're going to be truly overwhelmed in the next couple years. In fact, it may be time to add at least one theater critic to your staff. — Stephen W. Sharp Milton (Stephen Sharp is the festival coordinator of Growling Pup Theatre Festival) STRESS PULLS BONES I am writing in response to the Health Q&A column on August 13. The topic was anxiety and stress. In the article a great deal was said about dealing with stress while it is present, and I liked what Juliana O'Brien had to say. Her opinion, however, lacked what we chiropractors see as obvious. Mental or emotional stress is one of three things which cause the problems chiropractors help people with every day. When stress builds up in a person, it has a tendency to cause muscles to contract. When muscles contract, they do one thing: pull on bones. Stresses creating tension in the muscles of the neck and back can and do pull on the bones of the spinal column (the vertebrae). When the tensions are greater on one side of the body than the other, as is the case in most people who are either right- or left-handed, this causes what chiropractors call a vertebral subluxation (a kink in your back). This alone is a little thing, but the effects of a vertebral subluxation on the central nervous sytem can and do manifest in all sorts of health-related problems. The list of problems related to subluxations includes, but is not limited to, anxiety and nervousness. So next time you are anxious and nervous and can't relax, see your favorite chiropractor and have your spine checked for vertebral subluxations. It makes sense! — Dr. Spencer Sherman, D.C.

WOLVES & SHEEP

| Bridget O'Connor has decided to take her I feminism elsewhere. The 25-year-old Burlington "j woman has resigned her seat on the advisory 1 board of the Burlington Women's Council 1 (BWC). She tells Inside Track the BWC has | deteriorated into heated debates over "really | petty issues." No longer will she give up her best g shift of the week to go listen to * women fight over whether there 1 should be cameras allowed to | record the council meetings. | Over the impassioned objec- tions of the Progressive members ® of the BWC, the cameras — 1 specifically the video camera of | Ch. 17, the local government | access channel — have come in. I Some of us have been around fj long enough to remember back * I to 1981 when the first I f Progressive, Mayor Bernie | Sanders, metaphorically blew the a doors off City Hall to let the light of day shine in. To listen to * his political descendants vehe| mently argue to seal those doors. | and draw the curtains once again | makes one reach for the Maalox. Political hypocrisy is nothing • new. What is new in recent 1 weeks is the level of hate being | expressed publicly from several | quarters by a self-righteous, I indignant and very loud few. • Some you've certainly seen perS forming on the broadcasts of the BWC meet8 ings as well as on the other local cable access | channel. Others have put their hatred on paper I in letters to the editor. Anger is a hot product these days — all in the name of self-righteous•ness. | The facts indicate that one need only mention | the name of Peggy Luhrs to be vehemently accused of orchestrating a "vicious attack" upon i Godj forbid r__u:j one brings I : T .1 »criminal • i her. up Luhrs' I record for thievery and assault. A low blow! | Peggy's past is not fair game. According to the | rules of the self-righteous, only the past of her crit| ics is. Yet Peggy and company know no bounds in * their viciousness. No limits on their hate speech. * Name-calling is their number one tactic. City Councilor Kurt Wright is bitterly | branded a "homophobe" by Luhrs on a continu i n g basis. But if he dares criticize Luhrs, he's : quickly derided for "attacking" St. Peggy. : Wright gets vilified and the justification cited is "his political affiliation. Hey, kill the 1 Republicans, right? Surely it must be legal? And how about the recent letter from Liz | Curry, a died-in-the-wool Prog and BWC - member from Ward 3, in which she bitterly • accused the two women who publish this disItinguished little paper o f ' pimping" by carrying | this column in their publication. Pimping? Oh, really? How sweet. It's great to know I censorship is still so near and dear to some Progs. BWC member Maureen Dyer has also k been on the receiving end of the hate crowd. 8 Her ' crime" is that she told "Inside Track" | Luhrs had been fooled into believing that I Jennifer Matthews, her successor as director of Z the BWC, was a lesbian. For that Dyer has been * vilified as a homophobic liar. "Peggy accuses me of lying," says Dyer, | who stands by her story, "but if I bring up her | rap sheet that's not fair." : In a recent unsigned piece of hate mail she ® received, the anonymous writer viciously conIdemns Dyer for employing "hate speech." | The letter states, "Peggy has done great | things for the Women's Council. What have you I done other then (sic) to reek of Homophobia.

a a i H i i H i

You have problems with a Dyke JMarch? We are I forced to watch your heterosexual s*** every day. | We need to empower ourselves..." g Dyer says the anonymous poison-pen letter "says more about the person writing it than it does of me." A similar unsigned hate-filled letter was recently received at Seven Days. On another front, the supporters of a convicted sex offender champion him as some kind of hero. One letter-writer even suggests the death of yours truly would be welcomed. Yes, it's time to play "Shoot the Messenger." Lock and load. What gives? How twisted it is when criminals and hate-mongers are painted as victims while their conduct and their victims are ignored? Folks, these days in Burlap, the wolves are strutting their stuff attired in sheep's clothing. It's a very old trick. Forget issues, name-calling is back in vogue. Anger is good. Hate is even better. Peace has become a stranger. Media Notes — "It's a done deal," says a reliable source in r Radio Land. WKDR, the local• • ly owned talk station on the AM band, has cut a deal with J ^ L Burlington Broadcasting, ownMW ers of The Wizard and The Iff Buzz. It's a lease-with-option• to-buy arrangement, we're told. ® ^ Kind of like a trial marriage. Burlington Broadcasting has assumed management of WKDR's sales effort, and more promotions are expected. WKDR's talent pool of Mark Johnson's daily two-hour call-in program and Louie Manno and Jim Condon in morning drive will continue. Also, veteran broadcaster Andy Potter is back on WKDR anchoring the afternoon drivetime news. Potter tried his hand at televisionwith a stint at WPTZ-TV, but it didn't work out. Hard to teach a nice, old dog new tricks. GOP Squabble? — At the recent meeting of the Republican State Committee at the Montpelier VFW, the GOP's new national committeeman, Allen Martin, was talking tough about how the new education funding law is actually a blessing for Vermont Republicans. He says it's the lightning rod issue that will launch the GOP's drive to retake the Vermont Legislature in the November 1998 election. Martin is the former GOP party chairman who was at the helm when Republicans swept the state senate in 1992 and 1994. And he also takes great pride in being the captain when the GOP knocked off Democratic House Speaker Ralph Wright in his 1994 district race in Bennington. In fact, it was amazing to hear how many times g King Ralph's name was taken in vain at the GOP g pow-wow three years after his demise. He's a bona fide political ghost who still haunts the camp of his former enemies. Bet they all bought § his political memoir, All Politics is Personal. As for the new education funding law that « the rich towns are screaming about, Allen Martin says, "H.527 is a bad law." Great. But what about the Republicans who § voted for it, like Sens. Helen Riehle, Bill Doyle, George Costes, Jim Greenwood, Vince | Illuzzi and the GOP's senate leader, Rob Ide? Ide told Inside Track this week that, "There's a strong feeling in the Republican Party that it is a bad law, and some who voted j for it are feeling a little outside their party at | the moment." However, Ide says he agrees with Democratic 8 Gov. Howard Dean that H.527 "is a good bill." | As for his difference of opinion with Allen | Martin, Ide says, "We do talk periodically." ®

66O-BODY

I myself was just finishing work on my biography of Anastasia, another notorious victim of the royal way of doing things, and had little sympathy left for the monarchist turn of mind. In Leicester Square, amid the explosion of Charles-andDiana Happy-Day souvenirs, I bought a small purple badge that I still treasure and keep in a drawer next to my "Reagan for Shah" button. It says, in bold letters: "Don't Do It, Di!" In the end, I suppose we have

rhythm & news, ZOOT SALUTE It's a gig he wouldn't have wanted to miss, but Zoot Wilson's death, ironically, is the reason for what will surely be a rollicking memorial this Thursday at Nectars. Or rather, Zoot's life and music is. The tribute, dubbed "Dogshow," will feature more than 40 musicians who played or were friends with the late singer, songwriter and guitarist, best known for his groundbreaking Burlington band, The N-Zones. Less publically heralded was Zoot Wilson the cartoonist — some of his underground-style drawings will be on display as well. Just as the musician inspired his fellow players, the occasion has prompted contributions from some local visual artists. The graphic design firm Jager Di Paola Kemp created a memorial poster featuring the work of artist Lance Richbourg, and Winooski photographer Dan Higgins will photograph participants of Dogshow the day of the event (be at Nectar's at 5:30 for the shoot). Suggested donations of $5 will benefit the Zoot Wilson Memorial Fund and Very Special Arts Vermont. Zoot died June 13 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. But chances are, he'll still be the life of the party.

NOT FAIR It was a mean crowd that turned out for headliners ZZ Top Friday night at the Champlain Valley Fair. To be sure, they loved the hard-rockin' trio — who, incidentally, sounded great and had a terrific light show. But the audience was less enamored of opener Wayne Hancock. As I reported on these pages last week, Burlington's Bill Bratcher, formerly of Buck

& the Blackcats, is touring with the rising Austin retro-rocker (see review of new CD below), and had called from the road to say the group was invited to play half a dozen gigs with the Zees, including Essex Junction. This is a town notorious for giving nearly everyone a standing ovation — at the Flynn, anyway. Unfortunately, that generosity of spirit was lacking at the fairgrounds, where some narrow-minded rock fans saw fit to boo and hiss. If Bratcher was embarrassed by the ill manners of his hometown crowd, it didn't show; his stand-up enthusiasm — and Hancock's Southern charm — outclassed 'em all. ZZ fans might keep in mind that the bearded ones themselves — "that little ol* band from Texas" — hold American roots music in high esteem. After all, who fashioned a guitar from the wood of Muddy Waters' cabin? Billy Gibbons, that's who.

RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME DEPT. THIS WEEK Andrew Smith, vocalist for Chin Ho! and (sic) — and co-editor of 4/4 — heads to New York for industryfest CMJ, but a side bonus will be attending a live taping of Joe Jackson for "Sessions at West 54th." The new series appears Saturdays on PBS. Smith won tix to the show on the Internet. The bad news? He missed the session last week with Patti Smith. The cosmic connection part is that "Sessions" is hosted by infamous West Coast DJ Chris Douridas, who just happens to be giving lots of airplay to Chin Hoi's recently recorded single, "Low Flying Planes." Furthermore, CMJ will host the debut of a film in which Smith was a serendipitous extra three years ago in North Carolina. Sounds like destiny.

SINGLE TRACKS Burlington Coffeehouse has had a rough year, loing first its home at City Market and, last week, the Blue Couch Cafe. But for now, at least, intrepid organizer Jeff Miller has found a new spot — at Rhombus Gallery on College Street. He's hosting one concert a week (Maria Sangiolo this Saturday) and hoping to resume open mike on Wednesdays soon... The Cossacks have reportedly galloped away — two out of three, anyway. Word has it drummer Dana Shepherd split for Florida, and bassist Dave Jarvis quit rather abruptly as well, leaving Ukrainian frontman Eugene Nikolaev to ride solo. S'up?... Chuck Eller has one of the busiest, and certainly most eclectic, recording studios in the

Northeast — he recently had opposing factions of Angolans in to record some sort of "We Are the World"-type thing, with hopeful political overtones. Upcoming: Thai pop star Eddie Bulakul, a former UVMer, for a five-week stint... The Jazz Mandolin Project has proved to be road-worthy, traveling this country far and wide and becoming faves at NYC's Knitting Factory. But this summer the Factory knitted very exotic gigs for JMP: the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands and the Pori Jazz Festival in Finland. That's dansk... One more chance to help this summer's waterlogged — at the Montgomery Home-Aid Music Fest this Saturday, featuring 10 bands and lots of good, dry vibes. The fun starts at 11 a.m...®

THAT'S ItHAT DADDY HANTS

(Ark 21, CD) — A sumptuous stew of nearly every Western musical root, from swing to . d' A r-t^mMr m Dixieland to hillbilly, Wayne "The Train" Hancocks highly touted latest recording is a juke-joint jewel. Produced by steel guitar legend Lloyd Maines, it's much more varied than his 1995 debut, Thunderstorms and Neon Signs. And as all Vermont fans know by now, it features stand-up bassist Bill Bratcher (though just on the first and last cuts), formerly with Burlington's Buck & the Blackcats. Hancock lends a Texas accent to his authentic Hank Williams Sr. whine & yodel, and corrals tons of twang from a rankin' round-up of supporting players^f Recorded live for the feel, not a note strays from the herd — and guitarist Dave Biller is simply killer. Twelve of these 13 songs are originals, and Hancock mixes it up with smokin' roadhouse rock ("Johnny Law"), laid-back cowpokin ("Knocked Out Rhythm"), Bob Wills-esque country waltz ("Freight Line Blues" — extra credit here for Chris Millers steel guitar), sultry jazzpoke ("Lea Ann'J, and even a sort ofTex-Mex pop-rhumba ("Misery"). The first (and title) cut is pure honky-tonk, and the last is a whompin' version of "Brand New Cadillac," revived in the early '80s by The Clash. Its raucous solo-trading — with brass — goes above and beyond the simple requirements of the original, written in 1959 by Vernon Taylor. Hancock and posse ride tall in the saddle on this one. Yahoo.

DAR WILLIAMS,

END OF THE SUMMER CD) — Formerly folkie, Dar Williams evolves into something, well, more with End of the Summer. Though still a voluminous wordsmith, the singer-songwriter has crafted a full-bodied pop album with a full band and back-up singers, and a feel somewhere between Suzanne Vega and Chrissie Hynde. The intro, "Are You Out There," actually rocks. Williams' songs hold up well to the richer — and louder — textures, without losing the personal, narrative poetry that has always been her strength. And a year of vocal lessons has paid off in a more confident voice. Williams has the sass to write a song imploring teenagers to "kick our butts," but retains the emotional poignancy that results in a quiet acoustic story like "My Friends" and the haunting "It's a War in There." Fans of the folk songstress need not worry; the classic Williams is not so much different here as simply more of herself. With the triple-A format and her slot on the Lilith Tour this summer, the Northampton singer seems destined to climb out of the for her September 21co after all the End of the

ECI Commons, the multidimensional eating extravaganza that debuted recently on Church Street, is drawing queues of eager diners and winning plaudits from many local foodies. Behind the scenes, however, rival restaurateurs are seething at what they view as an unfair onslaught by a crew of culinary empirebuilders endowed with unmatchable resources — including a built-in supply of unpaid labor. Not wanting to be regarded as whining wimps, most nearby restaurant owners have struck a welcoming pose and adopted a public attitude of live-and-letlive optimism. "I'm not going to say anything bad about NECI's," comments Sweet Tomatoes co-owner Robert Meyers. "The more downtown restaurants, the better. We're strong enough to entertain any kind of competition." In a fickle and freewheeling marketplace, the standard reasoning runs, nothing is gained by bad-mouthing inevitable

_ WHAT'S EATING

Continued from page 11 sumers reap advantages when a giant newbie shakes up the old order, causing an across-theboard drop in prices and rise in the quality of customer service. But when a longstanding local business like McAuliffe's falls victim to a Staples franchise, it can be seen that reality doesn't always correspond with these upbeat scenarios. Restaurateurs' confident public assurances that they will be able to compete successfully with NECI might be interpreted as hollow bravado.

SHE'S LEAVING HONE Polston

t's a safe bet that nearly every teenage girl in the '60s had a fantasy of some sort about The Beatles. But it's even truer that girls of all eras have crashed into that obstinate brick wall called Father. Never mind Freudian interpretations; we're talking the love-hate relationship unique to an adolescent female with a middle-aged man, born of the simultaneous, warring needs to be loved by Daddy and to assert her indepen dence from him. In She Loves You, Burlington writer and public radio commentator Elaine Segal manages to weave the preposterous — a house call from John, Paul, George and Ringo — and the all-tooreal quest for paternal approval into an oddly affecting love story. If at first glance it appears to be a children's book — it's a quick read, and every page is illustrated by Burlington artist Lance Richbourg — it's not, quite.

The book may have a particular resonance for women who passed from girlhood before the end of Abbey Road, but She Loves You is not just Beatlemania viewed through the long telescope of relative maturity. She wrote it, she says, "for anyone who has lived long enough to have experienced this kind of rift

Of course, the title itself comes from one of the Fab Four's first hit singles. And the book's mysteriously unnumbered pages total 64, which could be an oblique reference to "When I'm 64," sung so innocently by Paul long before he could imagine being that old. And if you read the pages backwards, perhaps you'll -r*

Hence the double entendre of the books title. And of course, Segal only gains his approval through a fantasy in which The Beatles show up at her house — the limo driver is lost — just in time for a dinner of noodle kugel. And of course the lads charm both Mom and Dad by being too courteous, clever and helpful by half — not to mention composing "Norwegian Wood" on the spot. That scenario turns out to be as real to Segal as was, and is, her relationship to her father. "This actually was a fantasy I had as a girl," she says. "I didn't know until I started writing this book that everyone had their fantasies about The Beatles. I swear I had no idea — I didn't discuss it with any of my girlfriends because: I really believed it would happen."

A UNIQUE RESTAURANT AND SMALL BAR

The fantasy lasts long enough for the moptops to help clean up, and then they're off — with the young narrator in tow. Segal revives them at the end by imagining The Beatles returning to pay their respects to her ailing father. In between dishes and deathbed, however, her story resumes its unreconciled issue: the battle with Dad. He continues to prophesy her failings over "hundreds of kugels," and finally, it was time to leave the table for good: Although I knew as little about life as my father feared, I could tell the difference between it and a fantasy and so dismissed my father's invention with a weary yeah, yeah, yeah and went out into the world to seek my fortune. Segal is vague here, perhaps not wishing to deviate too far from the fantasy that fuels her brief tale. There is no reconciliation nor giving in nor any improvement in her father's actual assessment of her or The Beatles, but on the other hand neither is there any "bad end as a consequence." She does acknowledge achieving a sort of "flawed peace" with Dad, which she still hopes to perfect. In this truce Segal has fared better with her father than have many of us — her love, no, their mutual love, however uneasy, seeps without sentiment from these pages. And thereby hangs the tale. But it would hang less well without the visual fixative of Richbourg's pen-and-ink illusContinued on page 24 Comfortable. C a s u a l , and Cool.

EASY STREET Continued from page 14 attention to the traffic moving through the neighborhood and not enough attention to the neighborhood itself," says Dan Bradley, of Burlington Public Works. "The goal was to move traffic as quickly as possible. Speed was encouraged by the design of the streets — long, straight, wide boulevards. "Now the department of public works finds itself narrowing intersections and using "psycho-perceptive" design elements to slow cars down. For the first time residents, not drivers, are deciding the rules of the road. It takes little more than a phone call to get the concrete coming. An official inquiry leads to a meeting with Bradley, who acts as technical advisor in the campaign. At its best, the process is empowering. At its worst, it's a whole lot of meetings. According to Bradley, small "street" groups reach consensus a lot easier than large neighborhoods with diverse needs. Slowing the traffic on Home and Flynn, for example, cannot be addressed without dealing with smaller South End streets Scarff, Richardson and Ferguson. Jerry Namias led the charge in the Drew Street neighborhood before bump-outs were in. "There were several of us on the block with young children, and we all felt simultaneously we needed to do something," he says. When federal moneys came through the following year, his neighborhood got funded for a pilot project. The group identified traffic problems with representatives of each street and engineered

solutions with the department of public works. It sought consensus on a plan that narrowed Ward Street at either end, and scattered speed humps on Drew, Pitkin, Blodgett and Ward. "We had a questionnaire that we brought to — I won't say every — but as many houses as we could," Namias says of the volunteer canvassing. "Something like 70 percent said, 'Yes, I am for it.'" Some, like Betty Parah, had concerns, like how emergency vehicles

For the first time residents, not drivers, ore deciding the rules of the road. would negotiate narrowed intersections. The fire department had a problem, too — with a proposed traffic circle directly behind its North Avenue station at Strong and Drew. An identical circle is still planned for the corner of Strong and Blodgett. Nobody surveyed Sadie White at the time, but the 95year-old former legislator is always ready to express her opinion — especially about traffic calming. "A lot of nonsense," she snarls. "I have lived here since 1936 and I have never seen a problem with the traffic." The speed humps are so loud, she says, "my neighbors tell me the noise wakes them up at night." The majority of complaints come from motorists, however. Who hasn't caught air on an unexpected encounter with a speed hump, especially on a

INTERVALE FESTIVAL

dark night? Many of the yellow warning signs come too late or are camouflaged by trees. Everyone, including Bradley, agrees the pavement should be painted. Even the department of public works does the "screech, bang, vroom" thing. One truckload of workers on Booth Street managed to overlook the hump they had just installed. "It sent their red cones all over the street," Mary King recalls. "I just howled." So far serious vehicular damage has not been a problem, according to Bradley. But motorists seeking compensation for mangled mufflers will have some serious convincing to do. "In some respects, a complaint would suggest the humps are achieving what they are supposed to achieve," Bradley offers. "They don't like the fact that they can't go through there as fast as they used to." Furthermore, not every neighborhood is opting for aggressive "traffic calming." The residents around Ethan Allen Parkway recently decided to give the humps and bumps a miss. At least one section of Burlington will deliver a smooth ride, unfettered by concrete obstacles and permaheaves. As it is, getting from one side of town to the other — in any direction — is not exactly easy street. But slow-moving traffic may be a blessing in disguise, according to Bradley, who offers bicycling, walking and public transportation as viable alternatives to driving. "You might rather have a city that takes a while to get through," Bradley suggests, "than live in the shadow of an elevated roadway." (Z)

The powerful and distinctive voice of legendary musical sensation Miriam Makeba and her 14-piece band comes to the Flynn for a very rare performance. One of the world's great gifts to music, peace, and harmony, her anti-apartheid views in the '60s led to a 30-year exile from her South African homeland. This wife of black activist Stokely Carmichael, United Nations ambassador, and Dag Hammerskjold Peace Prize winner, today is welcomed home by Nelson Mandela and performs concerts world wide.

be Rogers and Tim Watson are a pair of talented Vermont athletes who have spent the better part of the past decade chasing each other to the top of the triathlon crop. But in the international arena, they're better known to their fellow pros as the Jerky, not the Green Mountain, Boys. "We have a little Jerky Boys routine going," Watson admits with a boyish grin that belies his 26 years. Rogers, a former athletic prodigy who was a national-level triathlete even before he graduated from Burlington High in 1991, says the playful routine — named for a novelty comedy act — occasionally raises eyebrows among the uninitiated. "Other people don't know what we're about," he says. Joking aside, what the native Vermonters are really about is swimming, biking and running in the grueling multi-sport competitions known as triathlon. Later this year, Watson will chase the sport's Holy Grail at the Ironman competition in Hawaii, while Rogers is racing the World Cup circuit in hot pursuit of his Olympic dream as a member of the United States Triathlon Team. Despife disparate short-term goals and their official status as "competitors," Watson and Rogers more closely resemble friendly sibling rivals with a shared past and common goals. Both entered the triathlon world at the urging of athletic parents — Watson's mother is a world-class amateur triathlete. Both reached the athlete's unofficial age of majority — the year one goes pro — in 1994. And when their careers end, both hope to work with other athletes, Watson as a physical therapist and Rogers as a coach. The parallels between the two athletes and their careers are uncanny. From corresponding state track championships to their decisions to test the professional waters the same year, Watson and Rogers' paths intertwine like a double helix. Though they didn't know it at the time, one of their earliest meetings was not on a race course but on the gridiron — unsurprisingly, both athletes played high school football

for three years. In fact, as a defensive back for South Burlington, Watson may well have covered Rogers coming out of the backfield to catch passes when the Bobwhites lost an 86 squeaker to Burlington in 1988. Unfortunately for Watson, the narrow loss on the football field may have established a pattern of "bridesmaid finishes" that Watson-watchers say overshadow his considerable accomplishments. In 1991, for instance, both athletes qualified for the Junior National Team, but Rogers scored the real ink when he went on to win the Championship. Last year, Watson was one of the top 20 triathletes in the United States; Rogers was in the top 20 in the world. "We're competitive," Watson says matter-of-factly, "but Abe's usually a step ahead." Known as a shrewd tactician and tough competitor, Rogers often gets

"I know I can make the distances without any sweat - with a lot of sweat, actually. It's the competition and 'racing the race' that's daunting." - Triathlete Tim Watson the leg up on his competition before the race even begins. While other athletes, Watson included, suffer prerace jitters, Rogers, 24, displays the presence of mind and wiliness of a seasoned vet. "It's your career, your job, so you have to take it seriously," he says of his pre-race routine. "You have to process a lot of things in your mind so you don't make a mistake." It's an approach that Watson admires. "When Abe comes to a race he's extremely focused," Watson says of Rogers' yeoman-like approach. "Don't get in his way, because he's got a job to do and he'll get it done." Of course, it helps that Rogers also happens to be physically gifted and one of the fittest athletes in the country. While in residence at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado, he broke the record for the highest aerobic capacity ever tested. The previous record holder? Cycling sensation Lance Armstrong. Though Rogers is back in town

TRI, TRI AGAIN

these days, the two racers still tend to see more of each other out on the • road. "It'd be weird if I was out training and I saw Abe," says Watson, who lives in Grand Isle. "It's more natural to see him in downtown Chicago." As athletes who have faced many of the same challenges over the years — including the difficulty of making a living in a relatively small sport, where $10,000 is a big purse — Rogers and Watson have formed an easy alliance. They're known to share frequent-flyer miles and two-for-one plane tickets to cut travel expenses. The down side, says Watson, is Rogers' tendency to eat everything within reach. "He orders anchovies on his pizza so I won't eat it," Rogers concedes. After nearly 10 years of competition, Rogers has already seen a enough ups, downs and injuries to make anybody a little road-weary. Last winter, his job as a swim coach at the Burlington YMCA kept him in Vermont riding a stationary bike and then running through April snowstorms. Although he raced well enough in the spring to qualify for the national team, Rogers paid the price with quadriceps injuries that hampered his training for nine weeks this summer. By contrast, over the years Watson's displayed an ability to train hard and remain healthy. During peak periods, the Champlain Islander logs nearly 30 hours per week of training time. He'll need every minute of it this October when he faces the challenge of the Ironman's 2.4-mile ocean swim, 112-mile bike ride, and 26.2mile marathon run. "I know I can make the distances without any sweat — with a lot of sweat, actually," says Watson. "Its the competition and 'racing the race' that's daunting." The biggest challenge in triathlon, Watson says, isn't a marathon run or even the strong T i m Watson currents of the Pacific, but rather the financial race and the feeling that national and international exposure. one's falling behind peers on differIs the world ready for a Jerky Boys ent career tracks.

trations. The St. Michael's art professor is better known for his evocative portraits of baseball figures — a lifelong boyish fascination that has been interpreted as an homage to his , own father, a former major-leaguer. His drawings serve this tale with a semi-realistic, semi-cartoonish energy. Segal describes Richbourg's approach to illustrating the book as "cinematic": Like a director, he was "concerned with how a spread, or scene, would work, how the book would move, where the characters would \ stand, what the i rooms looked like." There were a lot of . considerations about space and lighting. "I knew Lance was the perfect artist for this," Segal says, "but I didn't know he knew the heart of a teenage girl." Richbourg insists it wasn't that much of a reach. "But I was really interested in that little girl," he says. "When I actually did the drawings [ofThe Beades] I did

them from imagination." "And I would look at them and scream," interrupts Segal, "would you look at the photof." In truth, the pair's friendship — and perhaps their consensual ^ knowledge about adolescence and fathers and how one never entirely I leaves either / behind — served J the book and the book-making process ^ well. "Elaine and I have been close friends for such a long time that we \ could endure a lot," quips Richbourg. And yes, he loved The ! Beatles, too. Segal reports being so feverishly wrapped up in getting the book done that the fantasy 1 struck again. "When we were really involved in the book, we revised the drawings right up to print time," she relates. "As we were finishing it, I was working...away and there was a knock at the door. Reflexively I

thought, Ringo is here. Of course it was Fed-Ex." She doesn't really want to meet The Beatles, not anymore — for Segal and the rest of us aging fans, they better serve our fantasies as the fresh, forever-young icons they are in She Loves You.

And Segal's father? "Elaine did this [fantasy tale] on VPR several years ago," explains Richbourg. "[Her father] missed it so he asked Elaine about it, and she said, 'You'll see it when the book's done.' When she sent it to him, he called back and said, "I'm completely honored." "One of the wishes came true," Segal adds. "It seemed so great, a fairy tale, but this morning he called back and said I'm working too hard. Those moments of love and pure redemption are just moments — this is earth, not heaven." ® Elaine Segal and Lance Richbourg will sign copies of She Loves You at Barnes & Noble Friday, September 12, at 7p.m. This event will be accompanied by a Noodle Kugel Taste-Off— pick up guidelines for submitting a pan of your own kugel at the bookstore. The winner will receive a brushand-ink painting ofThe Beatles by Richbourg. Additional book signings: September 15, 7p.m. at Bear Pond, Montpelier; November 8, 2p.m., at Chassman & Bern, Burlington; and December 6, time TBA at The Book Rack, Winooski.

"Nobody around here can compete with that kind of firepower," says the CIA grad. Alison Lane, co-owner of Mirabelles Bakery on Burlington's Main Street, stands out among her many disgrunded colleagues in her willingness to criticize NECI publicly. She likens the school's expanding and flashy domain to a "culinary Disneyworid." *

'Every restaurant in town could use good kick in the butt. They're going to have to focus a bit ^

^ I c u l l X r i 8 ^ | which in general can lots of it," says Lane. *Most schools are careful not to compete with the private sector," she says, noting, for example, | that UVM s photocopying service does not go mano-a-mano \ with Kinko's. "Its very strange i to have to go up against an : educational institution," • : observes Lane, herself a NECI j graduate and a former instruc- • tor at the institute. • J Lane lavishes praise on the • new restaurant, calling it "very : urban and quite beautiful."

- Jason Bean Burlington Dining Club on the Marketplace. The sort of grumbling now emanating from Church Street and vicinity has been heard before, adds Beth Child, manager of NECI Commons. "When we opened the Main S^ro^^gdJI'in Montpelier/ there was similar feedback initially," she notes. But existing restaurants, such as nearby Sarducci's, found they could compete effectively with the institutes eating establishments, says Child, in part because the NECI presence generated h »avy regional and even national publicity, attracting thousands of food tourists to Montpelier. "Our intention is by no means to set ourselves apart but

enrollment is nearing the 700 mark, with more and more career-seekers drawn to an industry with strong employment prospects. "Our restaurants are our campus," says Dranow. He takes issue with the depiction of the CIA as a less intrusive institution, claiming that, while that school does confine its restaurants to its own campus, "they still have an enormous impact on the private sector in the Hyde ParkPoughkeepsie area." Responding to pointed questions as to why NECI felt it necessary to open a bar, a cafe, a bistro and a more grand dining room in a single Church Street location, Child says the school "wanted to speak to different markets and to develop a great across-the-board curriculum" in Burlington. "We wanted the restaurant to be approachable for college students, young professionals and families," she says, explaining NECIs effort to make menu prices broadly affordable. Opening a restaurant in downtown Burlington was a logical step for a culinary institute that fpllows the model of the teaching hospital, says Dranow. "We specialize in providing hands-on training in the real world, and we operate our restaurants in as much of a real-world environment as possible, from a cost standpoint." Dranow bristles at portrayals of NECI as "a 400-pound gorilla" set to consume small fry further down the food chain. "We're not some villainous giant," he says. "This isn't Wal-Mart coming in." ®

This semi-private art party featuring 14 artists — three poets, two sculptors, six musicians, two actors and a painter — is a serious do that addresses "the dilemma of cultural identity through imaginative rites of passage." Don't call it New Age, though — the label makes Freeman cringe. Manifest Poetry, he says, is simply a way to combine literature, performance and visual art in symbolic ceremony.

quests. Yes, the poem eulogizes the frail male ego, a la Robert Bly, but Freeman openly admits, at least, that his piece is genderbiased. This year's Manifest Poetry began with a theatrical enactment of "Three Men," its yang soon balanced by plenty of yin: performers Kimberly Ward, Morgan Irons and Batya Weinbaum. Ward danced her way through two original poems, pirouetting and prancing with the lines. Irons, an actress, beautifully recited three poems from the literary canon, in an understated and direct style. But Weinbaum tipped the gender-neutral scale when she belted out her poem, "Birth

"The Offspring" merely skirts around multiculturalism. The poem vaguely makes reference to the concept of Epluribus unum — "the one and the many" — which is really a federalist idea that has nothing at all to do with the racial and cultural diversity of our nation. It was ironic, but fitting somehow, that not a single person of color attended the show. Freeman's gesture at diversity was limited to including women in the production. It's a good thing Manifest Poetry is a semi-private event — the work presented needs more consideration before it's offered to a more discriminating public audience. ®

(Apr. 20-May 20): If you get a chance to pick blackberries in the rain during the next week, please do so. Likewise, take advantage of any chances you have to dance around bonfires while singing freedom songs with mysterious friends, or to play tag with birds on a beach at dawn (especially if you've been making love all night). By every astrological indicator, your predominant emotions in the next 10 days should resemble misty fountains, gentle explosions and climaxing blooms.

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Don't share deep secrets with convicted felons this week. Don't shoplift beef jerkies from convenience stores. Don't disguise your voice and make obscene phone calls to public officials. Don't sneak up from behind and tickle your boss. Don't stick wads of chewed bubble gum on bus seats. Don't put handfuls of dead ants in envelopes and mail them to people you're mad at. Don't try to tackle frothing Dobermans that are running free. In fact, don't do anything mean, risky or dumb. Instead, be enthusiastic, loyal, cheerful, helpful, patient, friendly and really cute.

BY ROB BREZSNY**

CANCCR (June 21-July 22): Take a bowl and begin dropping pieces of candy into it. Don't stop even when you've filled it up. Let the Hershey Kisses or M&M's or Reese's Pieces spill over the sides. This little experiment will dramatize for you what is now occurring on a metaphorical level in your brain. So much mind-candy is pouring in that it's just about to overflow. This ain't necessarily bad (although it may result in you running off" at the mouth). It may actually be quite wonderful. There's a good chance you'll learn more about how to feel really really good in the next two weeks than you've discovered in the last six months combined. LCO (July 23-Aug. 22): In all my years, I have never once advised you to turn down the flame on your ambition or douse the incendiary surge of your enthusiasm. And I won't do that now. For the next couple weeks, however, I'd like you to^find a way to mix generous

that you're in an astrological phase conducive to reinventing your innocence and integrity. Would you consider staging a mass event? We'd call it the Million Virgo March. You could flash signs at passing motorists that read, "Honk if you love people who live up to their highest ideals," or "The original meaning of the word 'virginal' was 'self-sufficient,' not 'chaste.' "

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): On the one hand the raucous planet Mars is cruising through your House of Greedy Fun, activating dormant animalistic urges to have your cake and eat it, too. On the other hand, the Sun and Mercury are mincing around in your House of Dainty Spiritual Insights, which means you might not be able to be satisfied by anything less than a nice big hug from God Herself. Is it possible to coordinate these two opposing claims? I hope you can find a way. Otherwise you might wind up feeling like the poet Kenneth Rexroth when he said, "Making love to you is like drinking seawater. The more I drink, the thirstier I get — until it seems I must drink the e n d * * * . " (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Time to separate the contenders from the pretenders, Scorpio.

(Nov 22-Dec 21): I'm wearing a tall conical hat decorated with stars and moons. A long white beard is strapped to my chin, and I'm clutching a carved wand. Why? To impress you, of course. To create in you the impression that I'm a crafty wizard who can tap into mystic sources of prophecy that are beyond the scope of most mortals. To tell you the truth, I don't really need any of those accoutrements to conjure up your horoscope. But my effectiveness in serving you depends as much on your belief n my power as it does on my power itself. Keep all this in mind as you try to pull off your own magic this week. It's not enough to actually be who you say you are. You also have to make sure, by whatever ethical means necessary, that everyone else thinks you are who you say you are.

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As I meditate on your week ahead, I'm reminded of how Ohio State University's Dr. Robert Bates once described his : study. "Geology," he said, uncommon sense." "geology" from that sentence, and replace it with the phrase "Capricorn's success in the first half of September 1997." Then you'll have the only fortune-cookie message youll need for now. Suspend your treasured theories, in other words. Set aside your well-honed beliefs. Get of all your usual filters and simply look closely at things while letting your imagination run away with you. | | <J*n. 20-Feb. 18): "I . do capillaries; I go for the jugular." oath recently flew from the mouth

of Alan I. Baron, a Washington attorney j who's famous for his pitbull approach. And now I'm passing it on to you to use j as your own. You see, Aquarius, you can't j afford to muck around with cute trifles and time-killing playthings in the next two weeks. I beg you to leave the outskirts and bolt towards the heart of the action. Quit dabbling with bit players and go head-to-head with the stars of the show.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): As you glide into the thick of the mating season, j I'd like to offer you a few love spells. 1) While standing in a mud puddle and hugging yourself, dissolve a four-leaf clover on your tongue and visualize yourself riding piggyback on the one you love. 2) Draw a picture of copulating hummingbirds on a dollar bill and then tape it to a road sign on a street with a sexy name. 3) While standing on top of a mobile home wearing all red clothes, hurl a hot dog in a bun as far as you can as you shout out the name of your beloved. 4) Using green food dye, write your initials and those of your beloved on a cake, then bury it in the woods along with your favorite book from childhood. 5) Forget all about trying to glom on ttf your perfect mate and instead make yourselfinto a perfect mate. ©

.SEVEN DAYS

Dear Lota, I recently ran into an ex-girlfriend

in a

bar and after

several

drinks she informed of a rather

disturbing

fact. Apparently gotten her

I had

pregnant

four years ago and she had an abortion. I felt shocked, guilty,

embar-

rassed and also angry that I wasn't in the

involved

decision-making

process. I'm a firm believer in

pro-choice,

but shouldn't the choice be shared by the two people

involved?

— Angry in Alburg

Dear Angry, Ideally, yes. But you don't give any of the details of your ship's demise.

relation Where

were you for the past four years? Where was your condom? Did you just assume she was using protection

while

you used her for your I'm really

pleasure?

tired of the injured male response to unintended

pregnancies.

Sorry, friend, you lost the chance at choice when you

ejaculated

and disappeared.

Her

only bad choice was in telling you. With love,

Reach out to Lola
