In lig h t o f Labor Day, who has the best jo b in the world?

TRA SH IN G T H E FIELD EARLY We all know Peter Freyne likes his stories a little on the trashy side, but when there is no roadkill to be had for “Inside Track,” Peter the Skid makes it up. So it was with his August 29 column, “A Sore Loser?” Peter should give the “I’m choking” sign when he’s doing the Jack McMullen stutter routine. A little Heimlich maneuver would be better than him gagging all of us with his thrashing all over the paper. What really scares Freyne and company is the notion of the

Vermonters who elected the “SixPack” coming back to the voting booth wanting a case of the stuff. Hence we have Peter’s habit of running people down even before the starting gun has fired. And speaking of cinema, in the film Man With a Plan, Fred Tuttle runs against an incumbent, not a Jack McMullen. Since the movie came out the question has been: Who is the control freak incum bent in the movie supposed to be a caricature of? Is it the fabled rockribbed Republican senator turned soft-shelled bottom feeder, or is it Senator Leahy? Folks ought to check out the

old movie Sweet Smell o f Success, starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. This movie yields a bit of insight into Mr. Freyne’s role as “columnist.” Peter’s zealousness, raw and unprovoked, in wanting to clear the field of any newcomers, makes one wonder how Bernie Sanders ever became his baby Moses found in the bulrush.

When a Stafford County, l’" Virginia, sheriffs deputy investi gating reports of a disturbance approached two men outside a convenience store, one o f them, a 21-year-old man from Alabama, gave a phony name and said he was born in 1926. “It was pretty obvious to the deputy that this was not a 75-year-old man,” Sheriff Charles Jett said, noting that besides the discrepancy, the man tried to run away. He was quickly caught, and a check revealed he was wanted on a bur glary charge in the District of Columbia.

Wrong Arm of the Law Just after two Seattle police officers pursuing a stolen patrol car lost sight of the vehicle, they spotted another police cruiser and mistook it for the stolen one. When they rammed it, the lone officer inside thought he was being attacked by the stolen vehi cle and opened fire. The three officers in the two cars fired more than 20 rounds at each other before they realized who they were. Luckily, police said, every shot missed.

D’Oh! Aircraft maker Cirrus recently introduced a revolutionary air frame parachute system, which attaches to its SR20 and SR22 single-engine aircraft. In an emer gency, the pilot deploys the chute, and the plane gently descends to the ground. The first crash occurred this April, but three people aboard were killed and the SR20 was destroyed when it flew straight into the side of a mountain. The National Transportation Safety Board reported the SR20’s recovery parachute had not been activated, but the firing mechanism had been discharged, apparently by the impact.

This time she was preceded by some hapless guy who hailed I the cab for her in front o f Esox. 5 She emerged from the bar | laughing uproariously and pointing back at a couple o f men sitting on the bar stools II that face the bar’s opened street 5 front. Sadie is still young-girl | sexy and flirtatious, though she must be pushing 35. And she still looks great, considering her ll years o f club-hopping. Holding open my rear door, | the man called to her “Hey, Sadie-girl, get your bad self in I the c a b .' “Thanks, darlin’,” Sadie * said, approaching the vehicle. | Smiling at the man, she kicked closed the door he was holding I and unhurriedly let herself into II the front seat with me. “Let’s do it, cabbie,” she |- said, as her would-be escort stood there, drop-jawed. “Okey-dokey,” I said, and ii hit the accelerator. “Do you believe that guy | thought Id go home with him? What a total loser! He lives at 1 that friggin' bar. You know . what they say: from Esox to - detox.” | “Where am I taking you, Sadie?” I asked. “Meadow Run,” she said. “You know where that is? O ff 2A.” | “Sure thing,” I said, although I lose track o f all j; those developments along 2A i north o f Taft Corners. New : ones seem to appear overnight. I glanced over and noticed Sadie was fiddling with the voi1 ume knob on the radio. The current top-40 hit by Uncle 1 Cracker was playing. She suc| ceeded in her aim, and now it was truly loud. “Okay if I turn up the i music?” she asked disingenuously and after the fact. She 1 turned and looked at me wideeyed, and with a killer smile. 1 his is a woman accustomed to ii getting her way with men, I ; thought, and I suppose I’m no ! exception. “Sure,” I said. “I like this I tune. It’s kinda shaping up as I the summer song this year.” As we passed Chicken | Charlies, Sadie slid her seat way back, and put her sandaled | feet up on the dash. “You don’t

mind?” she said, with a laugh. This is the deal, I gathered — she does it first and asks ques tions later. “Yeah, Sadie, just don’t kick the steering wheel, all right?” I knew she was playing me a little, but at this point in my life I have no need to “show who’s boss.” From experience, I knew this to be Sadie’s modus operandi, and so long as it didn’t get out o f hand, why stifle her? “Cute hat,” she said, snatching the baseball cap off my head and, in one fluid motion, placing it on her own. It looked so much better on her than me — but o f course that would be true for any single article o f clothing I was wearing. “Whaddaya think?” she said, in her best imi tation o f a New York accent. She had flipped the rear-view mirror in her direction, and was cracking herself up playpouting, turning her head to and fro. “Sadie, don’t turn the mir ror,” I said, grabbing it and re setting the position so I could see what was coming up behind us. I don’t think I spoke angri ly, but as captain o f this vessel, responsible for the safety o f all passengers and crew, it was time to re-assert control. “You’re a friggin’ spoil sport,” she yelled, throwing the hat into the back of the cab. “Sadie, I need the mirror in place, that's all.” Now she was really pout ing. At that moment I felt like I was running a pre-school, which, come to think o f it, is a fairly apt job description for a late-night hackie. Arriving at the develop ment, I said, “That’ll be 10 bucks.’ “ Sorry, I only have three,” Sadie replied. She yanked two crumpled singles from her tight jean pocket, threw them on the dash and got out o f the cab. She was so confident and brazen; she wasn’t fleeing or even rushing. At the same moment, her boyfriend emerged from the condo. He was bare-chested ^ and wearing only silk pajama bottoms. He was not a happy camper. On the path to the front door, he intercepted and

confronted Sadie. Despite the hour, he didn’t even try to keep his voice down. “So you finished your visit with Diane, I guess? Where the hell were you, Sadie? It’s almost two in the morning, for chrissake!” “I was at Diane’s,” she replied, blowing past him into the condo.

His hands were on his hips, his head was bowed and frustration was written all over him. He looked like he was either going to explode or burst into tears. Raising his head, he strode over to my window. I really didn’t expect this; the “cuckolded” paramour generally maintains his privacy. “Okay,” he said, “where’d you pick her up?” I hesitated for a moment before responding. Should I tattle on Sadie? “I picked her up at Esox, man.” Maybe if she had at least paid me the fare I would have kept out o f it. Maybe I should have just said, “You can talk to her about that,” and taken off. Or m aybe... any number o f things. “1 knew it,” he said, shaking his head. “I just knew it.” “How about paying the rest o f the fare?” I suggested. “She only gave me two bucks.” “Sure,” he said. “I’ll pay her fare.

g ra n d m a 1961. On September 8, during the week she would have turned 141, the Shelburne Museum will open a Grandma Moses exhibit tion that includes six paintings from its own collection and 14 provided by the Galerie St. Etienne. “Her art was very charming and original,” says Shelburne head curator Henry Joyce. “I wasn’t really aware ol that. Now I look at it with fresh eyes.” What Joyce sees are the bucolic landscapes ol a bygone era, paintings that document haying, sugaring, the seasons, holiday festivities, the pristine wonders o f nature in exacting detail. Although Grandma Moses was a resident o f the Empire State, her homespun sensibility encompasses the traditional New England perspective on what she called “old-timey things.” She had to give up needlework, but art-world scholars have observed that her careful brushstrokes look like stitches and her composi tions resemble intricate quilt designs.

ew symbols o f Americana are as unimpeachable as Grandma Moses, yet the early 20th-century folk artist might never have found fame if not for two European immi grants who believed in her wholeheartedly. Her remarkable story is entwined with the legacy o f this country’s melting pot — the convergence o f a Yankee matron and a couple o f men still srugglin g with the English lan guage. Grandma Moses was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in Eagle Bridge, New York, near the Vermont border, a year before the Civil War in 1860.

The world-view o f Grandma Moses did not extend far beyond a self-contained rural reality, although she had spent two decades as a tenant farmer in Virginias Shenandoah Valley before returning to her home town.

She used the images in her head to paint from memory, according to Joyce, who notes, “Her style doesn’t follow the conventions o f traditional landscapes.” Legend has it that Grandma Moses was first inspired to paint after spotting a reflection o f some scene framed in the hubcap o f a car. “Her point o f view is slightly elevated, from above, as if she’s in the sky — maybe due to looking down at that hubcap,” Joyce explains. “It probably was a wide-

The Shelburne Museum’s col lection has rarely been spotlight ed. “We always had three or four in the gallery with 19th-century paintings,” Joyce explains. “They did not look their best. Now, Grandma Moses is the star. It’s the first time we’ve really pulled her pieces out for something like this since they came to us in the 1950s and 1960s. We’ve got a covered bridge with a carriage on the road, a haying scene, the interior o f a country home on Christmas Day.” In addition, the museum will display one o f her embroideries from the 1920s, the 7-by-9-inch “Cottage By the Sea” — clearly not an Eagle Bridge scenario.

When he was broke, Caldor sold his art collec tion to Otto on an installment plan. And even when it ran out, my grandfather kept paying until the end o f Caldor’s life in the 1960s.” Kallir recalls meeting Grand ma Moses in the late 1950s. “It was on one o f those rare occa sions when she visited New York. Even though she was in the midst o f a media circus, she still had time for a 3-year-old or whatever I was then. She was very gracious.” Five o f Anna M ary Robertson Moses’ 10 children died in infan cy and she was widowed in 1927, but managed to stave off despair. Even during hard times, she con tinued to have a positive outlook. At a health center during her final days, the elderly prankster even snatched a doctor’s stetho-

used wool thread.” The exhibit also gives a nod to American art that inspired Grandma Moses, with paintings by Connecticut’s George Henry Durrie and prints by Currier & Ives. When the painter was 100, Random House published a ver sion o f The Night Before Christmas with her illustrations. It remained in print for about 20 years. Currently, H B O is using her art to put together an ani mated holiday special based on the. book. “She would have loved the idea,” says Kallir, whose gallery still administers the copy right and represents the Grand ma Moses estate. .£■ Louis Galdor, the man credit ed with discovering her, was “a peripatetic inventor,” Kallir says. “H e was always discussing his idea for a rubber-coated dish rack

“After the Wedding” (1942) Grandma Moses’ popularity soared in the late 1940s, when Otto began licensing the work for reproduction on such items as greeting cards, plates and fabrics. “She set ground rules. It had to be a product she approved of,” Kallir explains. “N o alcohol. She was rather puritanical. And the merchandise had to include a fair sweep o f the actual piece, so neckties were too small.” Kallir says the products were innocuous and low-key compared to what you find in museum gift shops today. “Hallmark sold six million Grandma Moses Christmas cards in 1947 alone,” notes Joyce — “a staggering success.” 1 iq promote:a Thanksgiving exhibition o f her paintings in 1940, Gim bel’s

Vermonters also embraced her, largely thanks to her geo graphic proximity and the themes in her work. The Bennington Museum lays claim to the world’s largest Grandma Moses collection o f art and mem orabilia, which includes the painting o f a one-room Eagle Bridge schoolhouse where she was educated as a girl.

Greenwich Village demi-monde, Grandma Moses did have some detractors in the early days. “The establishment insisted on a divide then between ‘high’ art and pop ular culture,” Kallir explains. “No such distinction was made in Europe.” It wasn’t until the 1960s, as beatniks were eclipsed by hippies, that Grandma Moses “fell out of favor,” Joyce says. “And she was never wildly fashionable again.” However, interest has escalat ed in the last few years, Kallir points out. “It’s hard to find her work for sale now. We try to keep a dozen here at the gallery. The good pieces are getting rare. The divide between high and low art is finished; nobody takes that seriously anymore.

Kelliher Samets Volk renovation, Burlington. Architect: John And&rson.

i « w !!»

hen Yoram Samets decided that his grow ing advertising, public relations and market research firm needed more space, he could have done what virtually every other business in America does in such circumstances: He could have built or leased yet another workplace calculated to oppress and dishearten the orga nization’s employees, leaving them to spend the bulk o f their waking hours in artless cubicle farms, bathed in fluorescent light and surrounded by ugliness. Instead, Samets acquired the former ice house behind the offices o f Kelliher Samets Volk at Battery and Maple streets in Burlington. Then he hired local architect John Anderson to trans form it into the most intriguing piece o f architecture to hit the Queen City since Henry Hobson Richardson designed the Billings Library — now the student cen ter — more than a century ago. The most famous architect o f the latter half o f the 19th century, created the style known as Richardson Romanesque. Despite Richardsons macho masterpiece on the hill, and a few innovative buildings erected since, Anderson has a point when he uses the uncomplimen tary phrase “post-modern colonial-esque” to describe the pre vailing aesthetic in Vermont’s largest city. The resulting quaint ness contributes to Burlington’s turn-of-the-21st-century image as lakeside urban rheme park, shopping zone and backdrop for exuberant undergraduate hijinks. The weighty purposefulness respresented by Billings seems to have melted away like so much Cherry Garcia ice cream left on a Church Street bench in August. Nothing is melting at K S V ’s former ice house. “It’s the high point o f my trying to integrate my art work and my architecture in one project,” says Anderson, whose office is across the street in the artfully renovated building occupied by another design firm — Jager DiPaola Kemp. Like Michelangelo, he comes to archi tecture via a career as an artist. These days, great American architecture, when it occurs at all, is almost never created for businesses. Uber architect Frank Gehry builds museums, not office parks. If a truly innovative

office space springs up, it tends to be commissioned by a compa ny that itself has creative procliv ities — sa)% an advertising and PR firm like KSV. But Samets disagrees with that assessment. Speaking o f his motivation, he insists, “It has more to do with a philosophy o f business as a com munity. I live my life here, basi cally. What I’m focused on is cre ating an environment to be in that’s enjoyable.” Samets figures that if he com missions spaces he considers “awesome,” he’ll enhance not only his daily existence but also that o f his employees and outside viewers as well. His other theory is that if he spends more than the minimum on work space, the real estate will be more valuable in the long run. As seen from Maple Street, the KSV annex offers up an inscrutable face in the form o f a giant window in the shape o f an inverted triangle, a keystone cut out o f the concrete. This gesture replaces Anderson’s original idea o f a stylized representation o f the word “ ice,” which Anderson credits Samets for rejecting. The KSV annex is a revolt against the quaint and the com fortable — a joint statement by architect and client that beauty and grace can arise out o f harsh industrial materials like concrete and steel. “The owner just gave me free rein to renovate and pro vide the tenant spaces,” Ander son says. “He understood the beauty o f brutal surfaces — stuff others would call ugly.” Why no arch? “I don’t really know,” Anderson admits. He was work ing on a series o f drawings of full-size architectural images when this image — which he calls “primal” and “powerful” — came to him. It may be a win dow on the granite in the earth or a comment on the weight of New England history, but either way, it’s an abstract idea which avoids facile references to familiar forms and icons. Following Anderson’s inter vention, this site — which once housed Architectural Salvage Warehouse — remains avowedly industrial. “Landscaping” con sists o f the pavement o f the adja cent parking lot and a sign warn ing those in search o f public parking to look elsewhere. Nearly every surface, inside and out, is a celebration o f concrete’s sensual and tactile possibilities. They are

Notes

fearful diver takes leap of faith

By B lake M aher hate to admit this publicly, but a couple o f evenings this summer I actually found myself sitting in front o f the tube watching that cheesy reality T V show, “ Fear Factor.” The con cept is pretty simple. Over the course o f the program a bunch o f fairly normal people compete in a series o f insane, dreamed-up stunts — jum ping from the top o f one speeding truck to another, getting dragged behind a horse, being put into a coffin and cov ered with rats, etc. — in hopes o f winning a big cash pay-off. While I have no desire to be cov ered with hungry rats or shot out o f a cannon, I have been intrigued lately b.y the idea o f facing fear. Specifically, why do we so often feel compelled to do the very things that scare the bejesus out o f us? Which brings me to cliff jumping. While kayaking on the lake around Burlington, I’ve often noticed figures dotting the rocky promontories o f Oakledge and Red Rocks parks, and a place called “The Tables” — a rocky stretch o f flat cliffs leading out to Rock Point just beyond North Beach. I’ve seen people poised on these ledges, steeling themselves to leap, a rebel yell moments from their lips. And I’ve had to look away, because very few things scare me as much as watching someone jum p off a cliff. Maybe it’s a fear instilled in me during my years as a lifeguard on a lake with a dangerous high dive stationed 20 yards offshore, from which people constantly did stupid, hare-brained dives.

page 42a

SEVEN DAYS

Or perhaps because o f the Trenton Falls Gorge — a series o f three gorges near my hometown — where a number o f people died while I was growing up. This summer, though, I found myself inexplicably drawn to the idea o f jumping. Don’t get me wrong; I didn’t want to fling myself from a 100-foot cliff into swirling, rocky surf. I just wanted to push myself beyond what seemed like a purely psychologi cal limitation. I could continue telling myself that maturity and intelligence kept me from jum p ing — there are, after all, undeni able physical dangers. But part o f me wondered if maybe I wasn’t just a big scaredy cat. So during the heat wave a couple weeks ago, I talked my friend Pru into going with me to The Tables. She seemed the per fect partner, having confessed that she sometimes gets scared crossing bridges. The day was in the 90s, the humidity thick. The trail leading to The Tables was well worn, but the day was eerily quiet, as if anyone with an ounce o f sense had already decided that this was the wrong day to go jumping off a cliff. But upon arrival, we encountered two young men, Chris, 22, and his buddy Cory, 23. We exchanged pleasantries about the view, the melting heat. Finally, I got around to telling them why I was there: to jump — and deal with my fear. I heard myself talking about getting injured, about the unnecessary risk.

Life Arthur Bradford’s cloggy debut proves lie’s out there In Vermont By John D icker f you happen to pray for laconic stories o f men impreg nating dogs, the hazards faced by amateur chainsaw stuntmen or the ramifications o f randomly acquired slugs on adult relation ships, your literary messiah can be found in Peru, Vermont. Arthur Bradford comes to the Green Mountain State by way of Austin, Texas, with brief stints in California and, most recently, Virginia. Dogwalker is his debut collection o f short fiction. The book’s jacket sports the endorse ments of contemporary literary superstars like Zadie Smith and the Davids: Sedaris and Eggers. With runs in McSweeneys and Esquire, and an O ’Henry Award to boot, Bradford might be mis taken for just another fly-bynight literary wonderkid. But there’s more: He’s also a docu mentary filmmaker whose latest effort, How’s Your News — pro duced by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone — premieres this month at the Toronto International Film Festival before going to H B O in the spring. After graduating from Yale with a degree in American Studies and a man-on-the-street TV-show thesis, Bradford taught video production at Camp Jabberwocky, a summer camp for severely disabled adults in Mar thas Vineyard. He has returned to that job each year, despite homes far away and the recently greased wheels o f artistic success. He credits his eight summers at Jabberwocky, where he lives in a small house with five men with Down syndrome, as a major source o f inspiration. “It was like living in a separate universe,”

Bradford says. It could be said that Dogwalker exists in a parallel world as well. And yet the adjec tives “wholesome” and “refresh ing” — usually reserved for car bonated beverages and Disney musicals — can be rightly appro priated to describe the book’s dozen stories. Reading it, you’re first struck by the absence of detailed description, a sense of place or any evidence o f human emotion. The prose here is not cold or nihilistic, but rather is an experiential — if often bloody — romp with dogs, degenerates and other life forms that elude the radar o f either N ational Geographic or The N ational Enquirer. In the opening o f Richard Linklater’s 1991 film Slacker, a taxi passenger pontificates on his dream o f alternate realities birthed by thought alone. Dogwalker opens with a quote from this scene — Bradford sites Slacker as a major turning point in his artistic life. “It made me realize that I had something to say about people,” he notes. Partly inspired by the film’s Austin, Texas, version of bohemia, Bradford packed a van and drove there in 1993. Many o f his stories are set amongst the city’s young, meandering citizen ry. “Back then you could live really cheaply there, and there were a lot o f other young, cre ative people,” Bradford recalls. “I actually think Burlington has a lot o f the same qualities.” His story, “The House o f Alan Matthews,” was in fact inspired by an awkward, if not atypical, Burlington experience: visiting a strangers house to buy pot. Bradford worked several jobs in Austin, including a position as

a substitute teacher at the Texas School for the Blind, before receiving a two-year creative writ ing fellowship from Stanford University. After another couple years in the Bay area, he returned to Austin to complete an MFA at the University o f Texas. Bradford describes the graduate writing program as a double-edged sword. “It gives you a good kick in the ass to write,” he says, “but if you listen too much to all the criticism, you’ll end up writing some pretty generic stuff.” His selective listening paid off. Bradford portrays peri patetic sociopaths, delinquent loafers and the preposterously awkward situations they create with a decidedly non-judgmental glee. For example, in “Catface” — the story for which he received the O ’Henry Award — the narrator hosts a series of roommates that wbuld send most humans running for a restraining

order. Upon moving in, one throws the narrator’s plants out the window; another pitches a tent on the floor; and a third brings home strangers for oral sex in exchange for cash — a prac tice she distinguishes from prosti tution. “My narrator is kind o f like an extension o f myself in the way he relates to things,” Bradford

with the flow o f the plot. Bradford’s stories are like a rolling ball, gaining a momen tum that results in laugh-outloud-caliber funnies caused not by absurdity alone, but the ethos under which they make sense. “D ogs” for instance, contains an unforgettable opening: “No doubt you will think I’m strange when I tell you I’ve been making love to my girlfriend’s dog.” But exploring the implications o f such a statement — the man-dog love child seeks out his deadbeat human father, hijinx ensue — is what makes the story take flight. The mag ical realism employed in “Dogs” never comes off as shock tactic or structural bungee cord. In Bradford’s world, the logical thing to do when a muskrat bur rows under your chair and sings

a song by The Everly Brothers, as one does in “ D ogs,” is not to grab a shotgun or call an exter minator, but to hit “Record” on a tape recorder and dream big: I figured the act could be worth a lot o f money. I could take it on the road, see the country\ me and the singing muskrat. Then I turned around and saw that the little fellow had crawled out from the couch and was tapping his furry paw on my tape player. “I don’t really like to get overly analytical,” Bradford says, his self-critique as sparse as his prose. “I tend to skip over emo tion. I’m mainly interested in the plot, that’s where the story is.” With Bradford, the story is also with the dogs: Almost every tale in Dogwalker features a pooch in some capacity — per haps because his girlfriend’s dog birthed a litter o f puppies under neath his writing desk in Austin, where the collection took shape. “I think dogs are the ultimate lit erary animal; they’ve chosen, more than any other animal, to live with humans,” Bradford muses. “Well, some might say they haven’t chosen to be with people.” The description o f the narra tor’s dog in “Catface” serves as a window to the author’s outlook not just on the canine world, but the eccentric characters that dominate his work in both print and screen: The dog I foun d had only three legs. He was missing a front one, so he hopped forw ard on one paw. Like most three-legged dogs, this dog managed quite well fo r him self and I didn’t feel sorry fo r him at all.

radford shows a refreshing lack o f pity towards his subjects in Dogwalker. Thus it follows that this senti ment, or lack thereof, is reflected in his documentary. In How’s Your News, a crew o f disabled reporters tours the country inter viewing people on the street. One o f them is Ronnie, an extremely tall man with cerebral palsy, whose height often requires him to lean on the peo ple he interviews. Ronnie is obsessed with ’70s celebrities, and grills people on their star sightings before launching into his repertoire o f impersonations. How’s Your News was born out o f a documentary Bradford made about Cam p Jabberwocky in 1995. The video circulated among his friends and became somewhat o f an underground sensation, with copies exchang ing hands until one found its way to Trey Parker and M att Stone. “I guess it’s like a filmmaker’s dream, having two guys from L.A. call you out o f the blue telling you they want to fund your project,” Bradford states. When they did, South Park had n’t yet come out, and Bradford was skeptical o f the pair’s prom ise to fund a feature-length proj-

Arthur Bradford ect. “I watched the tapes they sent me and thought, this show is never going to be a hit,” he says. When the movie’s boxoffice success proved him wrong, Bradford began to take the film makers’ offer a bit more serious-

How’s Your News is a political — as in political correctness — minefield because in it people with disabilities, like those with out, are funny. Bradford stead fastly defends the film from accusations o f exploitation. “I think it does people with disabil ities a disservice to portray them in a sappy or sentimental fashion or, for that matter, to avoid por traying them at all,” he con tends. “The people with disabili ties who worked on the film are so into this movie. It’s not the best movie, but it’s wholesome and positive. It’s not about how hard life is with disabilities, but about how fun life can be despite them.” No doubt Bradford is having some fun himself these days; his film will be shown in Toronto while he’s on a 14-city book tour for Dogwalker— he reads his stories aloud while strumming background melodies on his gui tar. When not simultaneously promoting both o f his creations, Bradford claims he’s not a busy guy. Future plans include writing a novel and turning How’s Your News into a half-hour television show. He had long wanted to live in Vermont, and welcomes cold weather after so much time in the South. A converted barn on land owned by his father pro vides him with a quiet place to write. Bradford’s process finds him banging out first drafts late into the night on a big, 1920s Woodstock typewriter, the yips of his two hounds undoubtedly infecting the flow o f creative energy from his brain to the keys.

SEVEN DAYS

Dear Cecil, This is in reference to your column last May, “Can the candiru fish swim upstream into your urethra?" I recently heard a talk by a visiting scholar who was researching the candiru. The speaker was collaborating with a South American medical doctor who completed a candiru removal operation in 1997. The fish had entered the (male) patient's urethra, had been stopped by the urethral sphincter ( if that’s the right term), and had turned at a right angle and bur rowed into the scrotum. The fish had died, and the subsequent relax ation o f its spines facilitated removal. A photograph o f the removed fish and p art o f the affected area (!) was presented. According to the speaker, the patient claimed the fish had swum out o f the water up his urine stream. I thought this might be o f interest. — zut, via the Straight Dope Message Board

old man from the town of Itacoatiara on the Amazon River.who sought medical attention with obstruction of the urethra, having been attacked by a candiru. Prior to being attended, the patient remained untreated for three days and was only administered T medication for pain. By the fourth day the patient presented with fever, intense pain, scrotal edema [swelling of the scrotum], and extreme abdomen distention from urine retention. Surgical removal o f the fish was considered, but rejected in favor of endoscopy [insertion o f a TV-equipped tube into the urethra]. The patient was anesthetized with 3 percent lidocain and the pro cedure was performed. “The fish was grasped using an alligator-clip attachment on the endoscope and removed in one piece. Fortunately the fish was dead, and decay was beginning to soften its tissues. Tension on the spines had relaxed in death, and they no longer gripped. Had the candiru been alive, its removal would have been more difficult and resulted in greater trauma to the patient. The fish penetrated the victim’s urethra while he was standing in the river urinating, actually emergingfrom the water and entering his penis, filling the entire anterior urethra. He reported trying to grab hold of the fish, but it

was very slippery, and it forced its way inside with alarming speed. The candiru’s forward progress was blocked by the sphincter sepa rating the penile urethra from the bulbar urethra. “With the passage blocked, the fish had made a lateral turn and bitten through the tissue into the corpus spongiosum, creat ing an opening into the scrotum. Perfusion [flushing] of the ure thra with sterile distilled water prior to endoscopy induced fur ther immediate and pronounced scrotal edema, making it evident that the opening had allowed the perfusate to enter the scrotum. Although the patient had remembered the fish as being small, after extraction it measured 134 mm (5.5 in.) [long], with a head width of 11.5 mm (.43 in.)... Some coagulated material was removed, revealing a wound on the bulbar urethra of 1 cm in diameter and associated with a small amount of local bleeding. Although the patient suffered immediate trauma, no long-term effects of the attack were noticed one year after the incident.” Petry insists this is no joke. The operation is well document ed, with photos, a videotape of the procedure, medical reports, and of course the fish, which was donated to an Amazon research institute. (The species couldn’t be identified precisely due to decay. I can’t decide what’s worse: having a live fish inside your penis or a rotting dead one.) “The description o f the case follows exactly what the patient said,” Petry tells me. “According to him, he was standing in the water thigh deep, urinating with his penis out of the water yet close to it. The fish jumped and entered his urethra. He repeated the same version more than once when asked to describe the incident to Dr. Samad.” Research by Petry and Spotte found no indication that the fish is particularly attracted to urine. Petry adds, “The only way that the fish could enter the urethra is while it is expanded during urination, otherwise I don’t think it could move in.” And here you thought the worst thing you could do was pee on the third rail.

Zut alors! I’ll say it’s o f interest. In my original column I expressed skepticism about Willy-in-the-willy, noting an absence of firsthand or even secondhand accounts. And now here comes a guy who’s got 8-by-10 glossy photographs. I’ve been in contact with Paulo Petry, the scientist you heard, who related the follow ing astonishing tale. WARNING! Gross-out quotient: high. Petry is an expert in neotropical ichthyology and vice presi dent of Bio-Amazonia Conservation International, a not-for-prof it conservation group. While working in the Amazon city of Manaus, Brazil, he noticed a hubbub in the press about Anoar Samad, a urogenital surgeon who had performed the world’s first confirmed removal of a candiru from a human penis. What’s more, Samad had a live patient and a dead fish to prove it. The world needs to know about this, Petry decided. Herewith an except from an article the two are coauthoring with fish physiolo gist Stephen Spotte: “On 28 October 1997, one of us (Samad) attended a 23-year-

O f course, Morris is far from poor and does not depend on the state for his prescription drug cov erage. Dean’s announced ban only affects the poorest of the poor. Ho-Ho exercised his leader ship, not after health or law enforcement officials requested it, but on a whim. The Guv told reporters his decision had been sparked by a newspaper story in the Bennington Banner about a pharmacy break-in. OxyContin was stolen. There have been more pharmacy break-ins since, as OxyContin emerges as the latest “hot” drug. Perhaps, under Deans philosophy, state-chartered banks should be prevented from possess ing cash on the premises, since it only attracts bank robbers? Needless to say, several law makers were outraged by Deans impulsive decision. “I think the process was hor rendous,” said State Rep. A n n P lig h (D-South Burlington). “There are people who need access, and I want to make sure they have access while safety con cerns are paid attention to.” Rep. Pugh serves on the Legislative Health Oversight Committee chaired by Sen. N a n c y C h a r d (D-Windham). Sen. Chard has been yery vocal about her concerns over Deans unilater al, headline-grabbing move. Next Monday, the Health Oversight Committee meets in Montpelier. A full discussion on Dean’s Oxy-grandstanding is scheduled. Sen. Chard told Seven Days the administration has been invited “to be present to answer questions.” In the past, when it comes to abortion or any other health issuet Dr. Dean has steadfastedly stood by the unofficial Dean Rule, i.e., that politicians do not interject their views and policies into the sacred doctor-patient relationship. Apparently OxyContin is the exception. We contacted the Vermont Medical Society Tuesday for its take on OxyContin. Executive Director K a r e n M e y e r “is away on sabbatical,” but M a d e le in e M o n g a n , the director of govern mental relations, told us the med ical society’s executive committee planned to take up the issue at its Tuesday night meeting. Mongan told Seven Days the society is taking the Guv’s move “very seriously.” She said the avail ability of OxyContin “is definite ly an issue for patients with pain. We also recognize there is an addiction problem.” The Vermont Medical Society is a membership-based organiza tion that represents about 1600 licensed physicians, residents and. medical students in Vermont, said Mongan. A R o y a l V e r m o n t B ir th ! —

SEVEN DAYS

Septembers, 2001

Following a long family tradi tion, Sen. Illuzzi, who also serves as Essex County State’s Attorney, told Seven Days the newborn will be named “Vince Illuzzi.” Sen. Illuzzi, 47, is a daddy for the first time. Big Vince was first elected to the Vermont-Senate in 1980, “the same glorious night R o n a ld R e a g a n won the presidency,” he noted. The birth of the bambino means Vermont will not lack a Vince Illuzzi for the foreseeable future. Future governor? — Our lit tle state has suddenly become a hot issue in the Virginia gover nor’s race. Republican M a r k E a r le y recently attacked his Democrat opponent, M a r k W a r n e r , by claiming “This cam paign is about Virginia values, not Vermont values.” It’s part of a nasty smear campaign the Republicans have mounted, claim ing Warner and the Democrats are “too liberal” for Virginia. Gov. Howard Dean told Seven Days Virginia Republicans are “pretty far to the right,” and are “appealing to people’s baser instincts.” Thirty years ago, recalled Dean, Republican President R ic h a r d N ix o n ’s “Southern strategy” was “a veiled appeal to racism.” “This,” said Dean, “is a veiled appeal to homophobia.” Also, noted Vermont’s gover nor, “It’s no coincidence that Warner is 14 points ahead in the polls.”

H a t s O ff t o .. .S t o w e ? — Yep. Can’t remember the last time we’ve had anything positive and uplifting to say about the beloved gold town of Stowe and its wellheeled residents, who threw such a snit-Fit over Act 60. But let’s leave that aside for a moment and instead report on a much brighter side — the Stowe Theater Guild. Yours truly made the trek to Stowe Saturday to catch the Final sold-out performance of the saucy musical Cabaret. Knocked our socks off! Can’t remember the last time we saw so much talent on one Vermont stage. Top-shelf community theater, indeed! Three days later the superlative performances of S a r e n a M a g n a n as Sally Bowles, Jo S a b e l C o u r t n e y as the Master of Ceremonies and D a v id R o b b in s as Herr Schultz continue to echo. And let’s not forget the Kit Kat Girls, too, as well as T o m P i e r c y ’s direction and T a r y n E i s e n b e r g ’s choreography. And, as proof one can’t get too far removed from politics in Vermont, guess who we spotted in the front row? A n th o n y P o ll in a , that’s who! Despite the fact that he was there with his wife D e b W o lf, Tony the Prog drew the affectionate atten tion of a few of the scantily clad Kit Kat Girls during the warm-up. Next up in beautiful down town Stowe is N e il S i m o n ’s Rumors. It opens a three-week run September 19. See you there! ®

GORDON STONE BAND

THIS FRIDAY! I’ve got some bad news and good: Waterbury’s eight-year-old Thirsty Turtle is no more, and that’s another blow to central Vermont’s meager nightlife. Unless you’d rather eat than listen to music — the good part is that the Turtle has mor phed into The Downtown Bistro. Co-own ers Kenny W a lte rs and chef M ic h a e l Dulac — who’s fired up dinners at Sarducci’s and J. Morgan’s in Montpelier and the Roadhouse in Stowe — have been planning the transition for quite some time. They rebuilt the kitchen a couple years ago, turned one section into non-smoking dining room, and upped the menu a notch — more upscale, with an emphasis on Italian — early in the summer. “The response has been so good,” says Walters, “that we sped up our program to make it a restaurant.” That’s not all: The front room, now under renovations, will become a conference center, which will seat around 150 people, set up theater-style. It will be used for busi ness luncheons, catered events and private parties. At least the night the music died was successful: The Turtle hosted a series o f Open Mike Opens this summer, which cul minated last Thursday — Waitsfield singersongwriter Abby Denne was the grand win ner. The point of the event was to get some local talent on the radio, Walters explains, and so it will be. Each event was recorded, and after the 20-odd hours are edited, two compilation C D s will be given to The Point for airplay. Congrats to Abby, and bon chance to the Bistro. CLUB NOTES

rEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEv JOHNNY A, JOHNNY A (selfreleased CD) — From the open ing strains of “Candlelight & Roses,” Johnny As self-titled seven-song CD sounds like a bluesy slice of early ’80s poprock balladry, calling to mind the kind of pleasant, but often forgettable, songs couples might slow-dance to at the end of a long night in a smoky bar. Graced with a fairly good bari tone and a knack for mid- to up' tempo, semi-catchy songs, Johnny A — not to be confused with the Boston guitarist with the same moniker — produces smooth and uneventful tunes characterized by skillful musicianship and earnest but clunky lyricism. Most songs are tales of hard luck, broken hearts and a distrust of “the city.” Johnny A seems to be a nice-guy rocker who’s been run down by the world. In “Float Towards the Light,” the singer tells us: “Now I’ve run out of money/landlord has cut no slack/weeping while watching Christmas lights/I was killed in a random attack.” The sincerity is evi dent in the delivery, but often the music is more effective than the words. “Worship From Afar” is a nice upbeat tune capturing a sort of feel good, pseudo kiss-off as an unappreciated suitor walks away from a “one sided love” with his head held high. The battle cry here seems to be one of “I will not be a pitiful sucker anymore,” but then, I guess you have to celebrate the small victories where you find them. Big drums and soaring ’80s-style guitar leads make this disc an amus ing listen, reminding one of guilty pleasures from 20 years ago. The most fun song here is “Heartless City,” (pronounced “cit-tay-ugh” with a gruff growl), which opens with a chunky metal ruff and a by-the-numbers metal solo. It’s very rocking and comforting in a predictable, “this is what a metal song should sound like” kind of way. Overall, this is a good but not great CD. In a mere seven songs Johnny A manages to press a few good buttons, making a decent first impression even as it calls to mind older songs; — Colin Clary RED ROOM (self-released, CD) — It doesn’t feel right that I can’t pref ace the description of banjoist and pedal-steel guitar master Gordon Stone with the adjective “local” anymore — after almost 30 years playing music around northern Vermont, he’s now liv ing in western Massachusetts. He presents a bit of a career ret rospective as well as a “stroll on the cusp” with an album-in-theworks entitled Red Room. What I mean by “on the cusp” is that Stone has been on the cutting edge of a variety of musical genres since first surfacing in the fabled local bluegrass band The Pine Island String Band in the early 1970s. He was one of the first and most accomplished players in a style defined by Jim Kweskin Jug Band alumnus Bill Keith as “melodic” bluegrass banjo, where the performer uses finger positioning similar to a classical guitar approach to map out and execute precise melody lines on the five-string banjo. This is as opposed to the rhythmic rolls that constitute a major chunk of the banjo style perfected by Earl Scruggs and popularized for ever by “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” and the “Beverly Hillbillies Theme.” Stone then ran neck-and-neck for years with Bela Fleck and Tony Trishka, two other banjo stylists who were also moving the instrument in jazzier directions than had been attempted since hot-shots like Fred Van Epps and Vess Osman tore things up on the tenor and plectrum banjos before World War II. Since the mid-1990s, Stone has enjoyed some commercial success (as have a number of other local musicians) through various affiliations with the band Phish or its individual members. This success has allowed Stone to continue on his jazzy path, even as his music has increasingly acquired a “jam band” feel. The three tracks on Red Room written and sung by band member and Phish collaborator Russ Lawton relegate Stone to the backup band and sound as if they belong on a different recording. Among the eight rele vant tracks, Stone treats us to provocative freestyle banjo explorations on the title track; straight-ahead bluegrass picking on “Major Breakdown,” which also features a guest appearance by Smokin’ Grass fiddler Patrick Ross; a Trey Anastasio cover featuring some tasty David Lindley-style steel work on “Runaway Jim”; a dreamy banjo-and-steel-guitar lullabye called “Hammock Time”; and a great, jazzed-up remake of a 1970s Stone composition entitled Ifdalf Creek.” Percussionist Lawton anid bassist Rudy Dauth are both fine musi cians, and give Stone a rock-solid foundation from which to work his melodic banjo and atmospheric steel magic. Red Room proves once again that Gordon Stone is one of the most impressive musicians ever to come out of northern Vermont — even if he doesn’t live here anymore. Catch The Gordon Stone Band with Jazz Mandolin Project this Friday at Higher Ground. ”' 7 : — Robert Resnik GORDON ST O N E BA N D ,

DO You By Pamela Polston avel-barers like Britney Spears grace the covers of Rolling Stone and flaunt their stuff on MTV, but you won’t hear anyone listing such pop tarts among America’s best songwriters, or even most influ ential singers. The words “critic’s choice” are unlikely to appear in their press kits. Those accolades belong to Lucinda Williams, a 48-year-old singer-songwriter from Lake Charles, Louisiana, who does things her own way. And what a way it is. Williams is so unique that she cannot be categorized, and chartmakers like Billboard— in fact, the music biz in general — have a problem with that. What to make of a woman with a slightly creaky voice and a serious Southern accent whose imagistic lyrics spring from grown-up emotions and powerful regional storytelling? Whose melodies wade through the currents ^ [r of country, folk, rock and blues like so many interconnected bay ous? Who refuses to make music videos, for heaven’s sake? Ignoring Lucinda Williams got a lot harder after her second Grammy win — for 1998’s bril liant Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Not only was she on crit ics’ top 10 lists everywhere, but the album went gold. So stun ning was the alt-countryish Car Wheels — which the notoriously meticulous Williams took six years to complete — that no one believed she could top it. Indeed, she could have been forgiven for hanging up her cowboy hat and calling it a Lifetime Achieve ment. Then along came Essence. The title alone hints at the soul-pure, stripped-down songwriting on

this recording, co-produced by Williams and Dylan sideman Charlie Sexton. It was released earlier this year by the new, singer-songwriter-focused Lost Highway. Essence is the kind of album you can drown in, cry to, dance to and emerge somehow cleansed and recharged. In other words, a great breaking-up-andstarting-over album. So it’s not surprising to learn that Williams spilled out all its songs in a sixweek period after the end o f a romance. Nor that she spent mere weeks in the recording stu dio, purging and reclaiming her self over the course o f 11 songs. From songwriting to finished product, Essence took just a year. Lucinda Williams has lived

“Can’t Let G o” on Car Wheels or 1988’s “Passionate Kisses” — for which Williams won her first Grammy (albeit for the version recorded by Mary Chapin Carpenter in 1993). But repeated listens prove that the cut-to-thebone lyrics o f Essence are her best yet, the ache in her voice palpa ble, the desire knife-sharp. She’s the daughter o f a poet, and it shows. Her starkest tune is the first cut, “Lonely Girls,” in which Williams uses the least number o f words to express the most pain: Lonely girls, lonely girls Lonely girls, lonely girls Heavy blankets, heavy blankets Heavy blankets cover lonely girls.

entertainment. what she sings, and her delivery has more to do with bloodletting than entertainment. Consider the passionate longing in just the chorus — never mind the verses — o f the title track: I am I am I am I am I am la m

waiting here fo r more waiting by your door waiting on your back steps waiting in my car waiting at this bar waiting fo r your essence.

Essence is a pokier affair than Williams’ previous five albums — though every one has featured gorgeous ballads. Even some diehard fans have found Essence too slow overall, preferring the more rousing tempo o f songs like

N ot all the tracks on Essence are weepers, though. “Get Right With G od” has the foot-stomping fervor o f Southern Pentacostals and reminds you that Williams can rock a roadhouse with the best o f ’em. And that even in slickcountry Nashville, where she now lives, real and honest songwriting can still triumph. “Lucinda Williams is a right eous singer. The sound o f her voice is so overwhelming and so moving that she could sing the phone book and probably give it meaning,” wrote no less ^form i dable fellow singer than Emmylou Harris for Time magazine. “But she comes up with extraor dinary words for that voice to sing — deceptively simple words like back steps or hairdo. How do you use the word hairdo in a song and make it so poignant that it-almost breaks your heart?” Lucinda Williams ansSyfrs that question every time she goes on stage. ®

An untitled mixed media drawing by John Anderson

By M arc Awodey ew visual art venues keep popping up on a regular basis around Burlington, and one o f the latest is Wine Works on St. Paul Street. John Anderson’s 11 mixed-media pieces on vellum, entitled “Entropic Buildings,” are current ly featured there on the appropriately wine-col ored walls. Anderson is an architect — coinciden tally, his renovation of the KSV building is also reviewed in this issue — and fine artist. Not sur prisingly, his artwork often contains precise drafts manship and hidden mathematical relationships. The works in this show, however, are literally more organic than most examples o f architecton ic drawing. Grass, soil and rust are among the media Anderson mixes along with more tradi tional materials such as dry pigment, graphite and charcoal. The 22" x 30" pieces are untitled, and the forms are completely abstract. There is no signage attempting to explain the title o f the

The drawings often seem to be installed in pairs. Just as #3 and #4 relate, so do #5 and #6. The more dramatic o f the latter pair is #5. It is so dark that the little triangles o f its floor plan have been almost totally obliterated. An ochre arm-like shape reaches across the paper through the blueblack universe. Energetic slashes o f white trace the curvature o f the “arm” like a meteor shower across the night sky. Loopy scribbles are woven into the image, and at times these are sponta neously twisted into curls that resemble the mathematical symbol for infinity. A large, brown, semicircular shape is almost centered in #10. It is like a flattened dome, and beneath it is a grid fashioned from 180 small squares. Again, this underpinning is almost obliter ated by the heavy coat o f blended materials com-

Grass, soil and rust are among the media Anderson m ixes alon with more traditional materials such as dr pigment, graphite and charcoal prising the top layer o f the piece. Around the semi circular form are smooth areas o f gray graphite and charcoal black, but the vellum is also puckered in an interesting way around the shape as Anderson brushed washes o f pigment on the background. This exhibition was organized by the Burlington City Arts Curatorial Service, a new program that keeps city-sponsored visual art in the public eye while the Firehouse Center renova tions continue. The professional curation o f art in businesses such as Wine Works is an idea that has been attempted before, but with mixed success. If Anderson’s show is typical o f the caliber o f art the BCA Curatorial Service has to offer, it should continue even after the Firehouse reopening next year. ®

1/2

There’s a surprising moment in this surprising Film when Josh Hartnett looks his prep school English teacher dead in the eye and offers semisincerely, “Shakespeare? h thought he wrote movies.” Even forgetting for a moment that he’s a central character himself — Iago, here modernized to Hugo — in the latest Hollywood update o f one of the bard’s immortal plays, it’s a pithy quip. And it’s an in joke as savvy as anything in genre-referential hits like Scream or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Given that the moment comes midway through Tim Blake Nelson’s transmogrification o f the tragedy Othello, it verges on the surreal. For sooth, Hollywood has gone hog-wild with new interpretations over the past few years, among them Baz Luhrmann’s William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Jet Li’s hip-hop Romeo M ust Die, Hamlet from Mel Gibson and then Ethan Hawke, a World War II-era Richard ///starring Ian McKellen and Robert Downey Jr., Calista Flockhart’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Ten Things I Hate About You, a teen take on The Taming o f the Shrew. Then there’s the one-man bardorama by Kenneth Branagh, who’s turned out big-screen versions of Love’s Labour’s Lost, Henry V, Othello and, yes, even his own Hamlet, among others. For that reason the prospect now o f an Othello retelling set on the basketball court o f an upscale Southern academy and featuring twentysomething thespians like Hartnett, Julia Stiles and newcomer Mekhi Phifer hardly had me atitter with expecta tions o f bold direction, intelligent writing, powerful acting and overall industrial-strength originality. But that’s exactly what awaits in O. Phifer gives a commanding performance here as a high school hoop star, the driving force on his winning team and the lone black student on campus. As the story opens, he’s a paradigm o f strength, goodheartedness and grace. Surrounded by sons and daughters of the rich and powerful, he appears the most privi leged o f all, favored as he seems by the gods. The students all love him, and he’s four months into a

sweet, passionate and interracial affair with the dean’s own daughter, played by Stiles with radiant understatement. Hartnett’s Hugo, on the other hand, wears a look that’s positively lean and hungry. The son of the school’s basketball coach (Martin Sheen), he’s a member o f the squad but overlooked for the most part. It’s the adoring attention lavished by Sheen on Phifer that compels the boy to plot the more popu lar student’s downfall. In this respect Nelson’s Film would seem to intersect another trend in youth cinema — the Rich Insider Kids Destroy An Unmonied Outsider Movie, a relatively new genre that includes such titles as Cruel Intentions and The In Crowd. Indeed, most o f the kids at Palmetto Grove Academy are from wealthy families, certainly the ones Hartnett enlists in his conspiracy, but the kinship with these pictures ends there. Hugo doesn’t act out ot mere spite or mean spiritedness, but rather a simmering, sociopathic mix of jealousy, bitterness and profound admiration. He sees his rival as a sort o f demigod, a spirit capa ble o f soaring closer to the heavens than most mor tals, and something in him he cannot ignore makes Hugo want to see him crash permanently to Earth. It’s transfixing to watch his plan come together as he skillfully maneuvers unsuspecting pawns. Based on previous performances, I would never have judged Hartnett an actor capable o f the nuance, restraint and dark presence he displays here. For his part, Phifer’s rendering o f a confused young man cracking under the pressure o f self doubt and perceived betrayal is powerfully affect ing. Most teen movies smack o f Porky’s. The tone throughout O is never less than Shakespearean. The film’s release was reportedly delayed more than a year due to studio concerns that the blood shed in the Final act mirrors, or might perhaps inspire, Columbine-style violence. But if you ask me, all that was much ado about nothing. I seri ously doubt watching Nelson’s modern-day Othello is going to inspire much o f anything but admira tion. ®

SeLeCTs hop culture The South End Art Hop was launched nine years ago to call attention to the remarkable number o f painters, sculptors and photographers working along the Pine Street corridor. Not to mention the good they do for the ’hood. . . Alternative gallery-goers flock to the largely business-oriented section o f the Queen City for an event that bills itself as “art meets industry.” The owner o f an auto body shop, for example, is hosting an exhibit o f watercolors by his daughter Johanne and drawings by her son, Jason Blow. “Mr. Durocher is a very nice FrenchCanadian man who’s always been in this enclave o f artists and artisans in the alley behind the Cheese Outlet — it seems like forever — but he never participated before,” says Therese Taylor, director of the South End Arts and Business Asso ciation. “This year his daughter suggest ed that he should use the shop as one o f our sites.” Limousines and buses ferry passen gers among 40 sites where art is being created or displayed. This year that includes the new Flynn Gallery, which is showing works by Barbara Zucker that explore notions o f female beauty — specifically, “the wrinkles in faces that, like the patterns o f rivers snaking through the earth’s surface, show the pas sage o f time.” The culture cruise lasts into Saturday, but you don’t want to miss the party Friday night at the Maltex Building.

Her original tunes have helped give this poet, environ mental activist, political progressive, Yale grad and teacher a loyal following, as she tours the world like a troubadour with five albums to her credit. The influential folk music rag Dirty Linen hailed Roderick as “one of the most compassionate and caring songwriters recording today.” The bears dug her, too.

grand old party?

long live rock

road worriers

The now-defunct Wednesday Club, com prising moderate Republican senators, once counted good pals and Jim Jeffords and John Chafee among its ranks. The Rhode Island leader, who died in 1999 after 23 years in Congress, is no longer with us. The Vermont maver ick is no longer with the Republicans. At the Calvin Coolidge Memorial Found ation Annual Dinner this week end, Chafee’s federal-prosecutor son Zechariah will accept an award on his behalf from the 30th president’s greatgrandson, Christopher Coolidge Jeter. Jeffords is scheduled to talk about how his May decision to leave the G O P was linked to the death o f the man he calls “my best friend and mentor.”

Thousands o f Vermonters gather each fall to celebrate an igneous rock forma: Cn with crystalline texture. Now in its fourth year, the Barre Granite Festival features demonstrations that define the region’s historical craftsman ship: stonecutting, drafting, rock split ting, etching, sculpting, finishing and polishing. Tours o f the elaborate head stones in Hope Cemetery provide a glimpse o f where it all ends up. In addi tion, the event offers children’s games, a social hour, a silent auction, a dinner and dancing to music that can only be rock ’n’ roll.

“The Distracted Drivers Test” might sound like an accident waiting to hap pen, but in fact it’s an interactive part o f the upcoming Traffic Safety Conference for Vermont Employers. It’s in the eco nomic interest o f business owners to keep their workers safe on the roads. Highway experts will drive that point home, while law enforcement officials discuss motorist atti tudes. The event takes place in Burlington. Drive carefully.

ology

A R IE S

VvV

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): If I were designing your dream home — which I hope you’ll be pushing hard to move into in 2002 — I’d be sure to include a two-story master bed room suite, gym, spa, guest house, swimming pool, gazebo, stereo system in every room, aquarium, tantric playroom, state-of-the-art film the ater, terraced garden and three foun tains, all on lakefront property bor dered by cherry trees and a boat dock. But maybe you have a different vision o f the sanctuary that would help you feel utterly at home in the world, Aries. Whatever it is, put it in writing and begin fantasizing about it in vivid detail — now.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): If I were king of the world, I’d banish the archetype o f the tormented genius. I’d discourage journalists and biographers from glamorizing the lives of depressed jerks who make great art. Whenever a writer or musician announced that he felt most inspired when miserable, I would unleash the Official Royal Yawn. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be king of the world any time soon, so I’ll have to pursue a more grassroots approach. Will you Tauruses please help me? You’re currendy immersed in the most smoothly fertile time o f your astrological cycle, so it should come natural. Our patron saint will be singer-songwriter EJ. Harvey. She says: “When I’m content ed, I’m more open to receiving a lot of inspiration. I’m most creative when I feel safe and happy.”

G E M IN I

(May 21-June 20): Right now your life may seem like a loose tangle of disparate threads. But this is merely an illusion designed by God to rouse your passion to create harmony and unity. The proper response to the scattered vibes, then, is not to mourn but to organize. Here’s an exercise to get you in the mood. The following five oracles may appear unrelated, but with a little

meditation you can weave them together into a web of sweet mean ing. 1. More freedom will come from deeper commitment. 2. Don’t be a slave to the things you control. 3. Say this as a prayer: “The less I have to prove, the smarter I’ll be.” 4. A sur prising gift will arrive after you give up a supposed asset you don’t really need or use. 3. Greater personal power will flow to you as a result of a thoughtful surrender.

CANCER

(June 21 -July 22): Sometimes when your future is break ing wide open, it becomes difficult to predict. Now is such a time. I’m almost tempted to believe that you’re fate’s master, rather than the other way around. Cosmic law seems nego tiable in your presence. The dull dic tates of conventional wisdom have never been easier to ignore. It’s as if you’re not quite natural or legal — and yet neither are you a monster or outlaw. It’s as if you’re primed to vio late rules that are morally correct to violate. Under the circumstances, it’s a perfect moment to remind you of occultist Aleister Crowley’s definition of practical spiritual work: “Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with the Will.”

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): For years I’ve been an agitator and activist on the left side o f the political spectrum. As much I’ve enjoyed the community of my companions on the quest, I have always been amazed that few of them have mastered the first rule of fomenting revolution. Author Eknath Easwaran sums up it pithily in his biography of Mahatma Gandhi: “One o f the most radical discoveries [Gandhi] was to make in a lifetime of experimentation: In order to trans form others, you have to transform

yourself.” I offer this difficult yet ulti mately pleasurable challenge to you, Leo, as you contemplate the innova tions you’d love to make in your sphere.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Can you thrive as a top dog after all your rehearsals as an underdog? Now that you’ve finally got an official license to exceed the metaphorical speed limit, will you rashly try to bolt too far, too fast? Given the fact that you’ve long been in the habit of paying more than your share of dues, is it possible you’ll know how to handle your fresh delivery of karmic credit? I pray to the Goddess of Sacred Reversals that you’ll come up with the most right eous and robust responses to these questions, Virgo.

LIBR A

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): To the casual observer, the dispropor tionate abundance of evil stepmothers in fairy tales is quizzical. Most real stepmothers aren’t nasty, scheming, small-minded adversaries, after all. Storyteller Michael Meade provides the best explanation. He says the stepmother is a symbol of the soul’s nemesis, and everyone has a nemesis. In fact, everyone needs a nemesis to keep them honest, to challenge their assumptions and call their bluffs. That’s why I’m pleased that your land of dreams and myth will soon be honored by a visit from a stepmother.

SC O RPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Closing my eyes, I asked my subconscious mind to send me wak ing dreams that would symbolically portray your astrological aspects for the coming weeks. In the first scene that bubbled up, you were working alone in a laboratory, where you were trying to burn a hole through a huge block of ice with a laser gun. In the

second scene, you were performing a fire-eating act while ice-skating in front of a large crowd. The third scene showed you inside a large sauna that was surrounded by snow. You were visited there by people from your past and people whom I sensed would soon become part of your past. You gave each of them a little speech that resolved your relationship with them.

S A G IT T A R IU S

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you ever consid ered starting your own religion or think tank or publication? Have you ever dreamed of appearing on all of the televisions in the world simulta neously and delivering a stirring speech (translated into 122 lan guages) entitled “Be Like Me!”? The next few weeks would be a favorable time to get started on an epic scheme like this, or on any other vast, multi pronged conspiracy that would take many years of careful yet uninhibited planning to carry out. I’m telling you, Sagittarius, your biorhythms are prac tically begging you to entertain fan tasies o f wielding fantastic power — especially the kind that would help and inspire many people.

C A PR IC O R N

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): The father of my acquain tance Elliot was a professional gam bler who figured out an ingenious system, got rich and retired. For the rest o f his life, he spent his fortune hunting down Nazi w v criminals and bringing them to trial. Even if you’re the kind of person who looks down on gambling as immoral, I bet you’d make an exception in his case. Let this vignette be a seed-thought for your meditations, Capricorn. I pre dict you will soon encounter a com parable challenge to. your value sys tem.

A Q U A R IU S

(Jan. 20| Feb. 18): Consider the Greek word pharmakon. It has several meanings, including poison, scapegoat, recipe and remedy. All of these happen to be major themes in your life at this time, Aquarius. Oddly enough, they are also interre lated. How? The metaphorical poison you’ve recently ingested will not, thankfully, hurt you, but will turn out to be a cure for a malady you didn’t know you had. And the person who is currently serving as your scapegoat will reveal a valuable recipe for self-transformation if you’ll only make yourself a bit more receptive. (Hint: The recipe will free the part of your own psyche that feels like a scapegoat.)

P IS C E S

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I don’t normally like to encourage acquisitive behavior in my readers. However, my reading o f the astrologi cal omens suggests you now have cos mic permission to practice a sublime form o f grabbiness; I’m almost tempt ed to call it a spiritually correct greed. Please note that you may not use this as a license to splurge on status sym bols. The stuff you amass should be things like fine emotions, uncanny revelations and exquisite states of awareness. I also encourage you to ask for and gather up colossal amounts of kisses and caresses and love. ®

Dear Lola, I’m a 25-year-old man who never wants to have children. I have told my girlfriend this, and she says that she could hap pily live without children, if it meant spending her life with me. How can I be sure she’s being honest — with me and with her self? That she won’t either "accidentally ” get pregnant once we’re together, or wind up mis erable and resentful? I want to trust her, but she’s very young, and I’m not sure she won’t change her mind sometime down the road. Uncertain in Underhill Dear Unceriain, There is no guarantee that your girlfriend’s atti tudes won’t change with time — or that your own won’t change, either, for that matter. What’s most important here is the ele ment of trust: whether you trust her not to delib erately deceive you, and whether you trust your love for each other enough to weather what ever unexpected events might arise. In the mean time, you can make her less likely to regret her decision by lavishing on her all the love and attention you won’t need to expend on Junior. ^ Love,
