VEHICULAR MISHAPS In Mays Landing, New Jersey, Donald Sprague, 24, called Superior Court Judge Robert Neustadter to say that he would be unable to attend his scheduled sentencing for car theft in Mays Landing because his own car had been stolen. “He would have been sen tenced but for the fact that he was the victim of his own crime,” prosecutor Joel Mayer said. “Its too funny.” • A hatchet-wielding man who held up a gas station in Bradenton, Florida, made off with $300 but forgot to fill up his tank.

space around the stars of the Pleiades. A hundred years later Friedrich size, 760 thousand billion miles wideband is due to intersect the earth just about any minute now. He also calculated that this is part of a 25,000-year-long cycle that our solar system goes through. Its expected that once were into the Photon Belt, electricity won’t function and there will be three to five days of total darkness. All
Scientists discussing the Photon Belt have been fired, moved or denied access to the equipment used to study it. If you cast around on, say, the Internet for information, folks with CIA or NSA creden tials likely will show up and say it would be in the best interest of your family if you gave up the quest. So my question is, what can you tell us about the Photon Belt? Any hard data? ~~ N. A , Rio Rancho, New Mexico : ' '■'■ ' Used to be when I got letters like this, they were in teeny hand writing that filled both sides of the page, with little photocopied scraps enclosed and a mailing list that included The New York Times and the Ayatollah Khomeini.

Exactly when we are going to enter the photon belt is a matter of debate. Originally it was thought that the arrival of the belt would lead to a vast transformation of society starting in 1992. So what did we get instead? Bill Clinton. Not to be critical in any way, but I for one would have expected something a little grander than a hike in the minimum wage. Now the target date is May 5, 1997, though there will be a long buildup, “Apparently, by the end of Summer [1996],” one newsletter notes, “most of us will be having conversations with Masters, the spir itual hierarchy, and space commanders of all kinds,” Don’t know about you, but all I’m seeing is more Bill Clinton. As a fallback, some New Agers are saying the photon belt won’t get here until 2011. The question is not whether it’s nuts to believe in the photon belt. Of course it’s nuts. How many great scientific discoveries do you know of that were channeled from aliens? For the record, however, I feel obliged to say that (1) No photon belt or other such region of increased energy has been discovered. Photons in any case are merely particles of electromagnetic energy, which we commonly experience as
Pleiades star cluster. The Pleiades are surrounded by a nebula, or gas cloud. This cloud is composed not of photons but of dust and hydro gen gas. (3) The Earth is not heading toward the Pleiades, but rather r , T 1 , • • j < I , ,.

W ho’d a-thunk it? W ho’d a-thunk State Sen.
I Susan Sweetser, the rising star o f the Vermont
8 Republican Party and Chittenden Countys top i vote-getter, would crash and burn so disastrous| ly in a showdown with Vermont’s socialistI extraordinaire, Congressman Bernie Sanders? The G O P ’s best political minds were i absolutely certain a woman like Susie f Creamcheese would be O l’ Bernardo’s worst | nightmare. After all, none of the three I Republican notches on Congressman Bernie’s f gun belt (Peter Smith, Tim Philbin and John 1 Carroll) were female. Aha! they thought — the | key is to match him up against a woman! | “Bernie can’t handle a strong wom an,” they I crowed. Susan Sweetser had all the necessary ®credentials and then some. Sweetser signed up one of the top political | consulting firms going: Dresner & Wickers. | Dick Dresner worked for Jim Jeffords for years I (more on that later), and just upped his fee by * pulling off the upset of the century in getting I Russia’s Boris Yeltsin reelected. Knocking off | the only political aberration on Capitol Hill | surely would be child’s play for these political g heavyweights, right? ® The plan was simple: Hit, the TV airwaves I early to build up statewide name recognition, | and with it garner a bump in | the polls. Take that bump to the ^ bank and close in for the kill. ® Keep Sanders on the defensive. 1 Attack his contributors. Portray I him as out of touch, a fringeI type who consorts with out-ofj! state left-wing extremists. But in life, things don’t 1 always go the way you plan. | Susie’s TV blitz in June did I build up her name recognition Z, statewide. Unfortunately, a i whole lot of Vermonters who | began to recognize her also | began to get a bad taste in their I mouth. Her commercials were r: too slick, too New York. A clear 8 gender gap developed. Women | didn’t like her. Too brassy, too | bitchy, too loud-mouthed. The I bump in the polls never came. s Instead, her unfavorable rating I doubled. Oops. Iceberg, dead | ahead! | Meanwhile, her strategy of I portraying Bernie as a commie ®extremist didn’t pass the laugh I test. Oh sure, it made her ultra| right-wing cadre salivate. They got their yucks | publicly putting Bernie in bed with “left-wing Hextremists” like Barbra Streisand and Norm an ®Lear. All that did was prove once again how out 1 of touch the right-wing nuts really are. | Unfortunately, Sweetser let them run amok. | The damage to her credibility is, &faiuaccompli. * A check of her web page yesterday indicates she ®still hasn’t muzzled the fascists. Among the i stock endorsements is one from a gentleman | identified as “M artin Adams, Vermont citizen.” . | It reads, “Bernie is a foot soldier in Karl M arx’s army. Socialism has failed everywhere that it’s 8 been tried. W hy do we need it in Vermont?” Foot soldier, eh? Y’all sure he doesn’t drive a | Red Army tank, fella? (There’s also an endorse| ment posted from Fred Tutde, of Man With A J Plan fame, that sounds fishy.) Bernie Sanders didn’t just get off the boat | from Cuba, gang. He’s been right here in | Vermont for the last 30 years. Vermonters have I watched his political life unfold like a movie. 't He’s no stranger in our kingdom. S Last week Sweetser held her first press con| ference since July 16. Press conferences are, | after all, free advertising, but you’ve got to I believe in the product. Last week marked a ^ major product change. Susie Creamcheese 1 sported a complete make-over, and obviously

had some serious speech coaching. The flashy S o m e o n e 's k n o c k i n g a t th e d o o r , wardrobe was gone, replaced by a more conser S o m e b o d y 's r in g in g th e b e ll... vative look a La Talbot’s. She spoke slowly, deliberately and never raised her voice once. • She had a chart to point to and probably felt as uncomfortable as she looked. The newly recon stituted Susie Creamcheese wouldn’t even call Bernie an extremist when prodded. One could n’t help but wonder where things would be today if she’d began her campaign this way. r > This isn’t 1994. Today everybody knows 5who Newt Gingrich is and what he’s about. Even though the GOP won’t let him near a television camera until after the election, every body knows. Sweetser will be able to blame Newt for her defeat. She’s entitled to. But 8 between now and November t>, her challenge | will be to use whatever political mouthwash she | can to eliminate the bad taste she’s left with a . large chunk of the Vermont electorate.

Now, we know that when it comes to poli tics, it takes a hooker in the village to get every one’s attention. Spin doctor Dick Morris made the cover of Time and got sacked three days later. T hat’s life. It was fun to watch Bob S M A L L Dole and his cohorts biting their tongues. Dick Morris, S T O R E after all, has an impressive resume. He previously worked to get Trent Lott and Jesse Helms elected. And this week Inside Track confirmed that Morris once worked for our own Jim Jeffords. It was back in the early 1980s when Morris was Dick Dresner’s partner. Jeezum Jim attested to Morris’ political savvy this week, and I also proudly quipped that earli- g er this year one of his consulg | ■ ■ tants was working for Boris 1 | Yeltsin and the other was in the I White House working for Bill Clinton.

or those of you who may have been sleeping for the last sev eral months, or who just got back from an extended trip to the Himalayas, I feel obliged to bring you up to date. The summer of 1996 will be remembered for two things: It was the summer that NASA scientists discovered life on Mars, and it was the summer that Demi Moore disappeared from view. It’s my belief that these events are connected, and that a gigantic con spiracy has been revealed. Consider the facts. As recently as last June, you couldn’t flip on the television, enter a bookstore, walk through the supermar ket or hang out your laundry without seeing Demi. Her rockjawed countenance stared out from a thousand magazine covers. Her hair shimmered and her breasts spun around in endless trailers for her latest film, Striptease. She bit her lip and squirted tears on innumerable talk shows, delivering what were taken to be meaningful pronouncements on everything from marriage and motherhood to interior decorating and her dysfunctional childhood, never missing a beat in her packaged litany o f “what’s really important” to “a working mom” like herself. We heard stories about Demi and her husband, Demi and her kids, Demi and her trainers, Demi and her “dreams.” We were swimming in a veritable Sea of Demi, and now — poof. —- she’s gone, j ust like that, vanished from the planet as if she never existed. Check it out for yourself if you don’t believe me. 1 spent an hour at the magazine rack the other day looking for signs of Moofean life, flipping through People, Cosmo, Vogue and InStyle,

scanning the tabloids, perusing Premiere. O n a hunch, I tried The N ho Yorker, since it was that magazines celebrated “editrix,” Tina Brown, who first gave Demi the stamp o f cultural legitima cy by slapping her naked and pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair, and singlehandedly concocting the legend that Demi Moore is beautiful, talented and interesting. But no: Even Ms. Brown has abandoned Demi, training her famous nose for trends onto more important matters — Chechnya, for example, and the innermost thoughts of Courtney Love. Exhausted, I fell to the floor o f Chassman Si Bern, lost in a tide of shiny paper and Calvin Klein advertise ments and wondering how it was possible for a star of Demi’s magnitude to dim so quickly. Had I dreamed the whole thing? Was there a Demi Moore? It wouldn’t matter, I suppose, if Demi weren’t the highestpaid actress in Hollywood, according to industry sources, and if her “combined films” hadn’t grossed close to a billion dollars w n rlriw irlf* cinrv* 1Q91

turkey lies at the back of Demi’s disappearance. The order must have come from above I mean, way above. It was my dear friend Cherie Tartt, the Burlington drag queen, who explained it all for me, as I writhed and gasped among the crumpled pages o f Details and Allure. Alone among celebrities in Vermont, Miss Tartt brings a colorful insight into the joys and pitfalls o f being a Woman, and when she says, “Women don’t like Demi Moore,” you can believe that she means it. Gently, very gendy, she steered my attention to the “Fall Preview” issue of Us magazine. (As a rule, we don’t read Us, but the popular culture has much to teach, as Miss Tartt says, and sometimes, darn it, you just need to know what Jennifer Aniston is thinking.) Buried on page 43 o f this ne plus ultra, this sine qua non of celebrity dreck was a tiny article about Demi that posed the question, “Is She Box-Office Poison?” and actually took Miss

WHO OWNS THE MEDIA?

t’s an increasingly common complaint in today’s media-saturat ed world: information overload. Readers, listeners and viewers every where, including in Vermont, are finding it harder and harder to discriminate among a cacophony of messages, to locate those voices that may help us better understand our communities and ourselves. The proliferation of formulaic information and entertainment is one key cause of a widespread weariness among media consumers. Worldwide economic forces have spurred consolidation of business ownership in virtually every field, including mass media. The result: Local character and color becomes overwhelmed by flavor less products churned out by mega-corporations, and dispensed by their look-alike links in nationwide chains. Media users may have more choices than ever before, but many of those options are indistinguishable from one another — as Bruce Springsteen puts it, “57 channels and nothing on.” Despite its human scale and a determination to safeguard its unique identity, Vermont has hardly been immune from the fran chising phenom. In fact, most of the states biggest media outlets have long been subsidiaries of national, or at least regional, con glomerates. It’s been a quarter-century since Vermont-owned busi nesses supplied a majority of Vermonters with their daily dose of news and culture.
The state’s biggest newspaper, The Burlington Free Press, has been owned by the nation’s largest news media combine, the Virginia-based Gannett Corporation, for the past 20 years. The two major papers in the southern tier of the state, The Bennington Banner and Brattleboro Reformer, were sold by a Massachusetts chain to a Colorado chain in 1995. Also last year, an upstate New Yorker with financial backing from an Elizabethtown-based chain of weeklies bought Vermont Times and Vox from a pair of Vermont publishers. Dailies in Rutland, BarreMontpelier, St. Albans and St. Johnsbury have, meanwhile, remained members of the endangered species of indepen dently owned newspapers. Like dairy farms, they are owned by Vermont families too proud and stubborn to succumb to the pressures of the modern market place. In addition, most towns in Chittenden County have their own weekly newspapers, which are almost always owned by people who live in those towns. That long-established pattern may soon change, however. Vermont Times publisher Ed Coats says his Shelburne-based weekly intends to start a Rutland edition early in 1997 as the first step toward a statewide network of regional versions of Vermont Times. The Rutland edition may be electronically edited and packaged in Shelburne, Coats says. In the television industry, the Martin family of Vermont carries on the fading tradition of local ownership. Its station, WCAX, Channel 3, is the only one of the area’s three full-power TV outlets still owned by Vermonters. W PTZ, Channel 5, with offices in Plattsburgh, is among the broadcast properties controlled by Heritage Media, headquartered in Dallas. A Connecticut company, U.S. Broadcasting, recently pur chased WVNY, Channel 22, from another out-of-state com pany. “Our mission is to get filthy, stinking rich. This is America,” a U.S. Broadcasting C.E.O. Bob Fish said of the sale in the trade publication Electronic Media. The same trend is evident on the cable portion of the televi sion dial. Ten years ago, 33 dif ferent cable companies were

the British label Mustard is wending its way stateside,.with “Ballbuster” on the b-side, and a swell racket by Kochalka’s buddies Philistines Jr. The rave-up “Ballbuster” could compete with an entire zoo in heat. Both songs are followed by extremely brief songlets: more naughty thoughts in “Rover’s Clover Club,” and a fragment called “A Little Song for England.” Emphasis on little; Mr. Superstar apparently doesn’t have a lot to say for the country that issued this tiny masterpiece. Look, too, for JKS’s latest comic book, Magic Boy and the Word o f God.

lmost every town in Chittenden County has a “community” newspaper that arrives, unsolicited, with neighborhood news every week — or two weeks, if you live in Colchester or South Burlington. Despite certain graphic similarities, they are as distinct as the towns they serve and the people who publish them. But when it comes to advertising,.the papers would like to be a little bit less indi vidualistic. “All of us have heard advertisers say, ‘I’d love to use the community papers, but it is complicated,’” says Shelburne News publisher Rosalyn Graham. “They have to contact each of us individu ally. That’s five different phone calls, five different rates, five

different column sizes.” Last year Graham and four other local publishers got together to discuss the possi bility of standardizing ad rates, sizes and billing. As a group of newspapers, they could offer total market coverage in the burgeoning communities of Shelburne,.Colchester, Williston, Essex and South Burlington — something even The Burlington Free Press can’t deliver. The alliance of Chittenden County Suburban Newspapers appeals to “larger advertisers who are not just interested in the circulation of one paper, but all the papers put togeth er,” Graham explains, noting the five papers reach 30,000plus readers, in their homes. “It seems to be appealing to a broad range of advertisers, from new people who are just starting their campaigns, to people looking for new options.” The challenge was in pric

And there were questions about sales: W ho would approach the advertiser, do the legwork and collect the commission? “It has taken a little while to resolve that,” says Graham. “We decided it should be the per son with the best relationship, or the longest relationship.” She laughs. “O r the most energy-

Once they get the kinks worked out, the collaborative has the potential to attract major advertisers, including big-spending national ones like Cherry & Webb. “You can’t discount the credibility of the local newspaper. There is an implication that they have come to you on purpose,” Graham says. “It’s a way to deal with the locals and get something you could other wise only get by dealing with non-locals.” — Paula Routly

The new law makes it permissible tor a single corporate entity to own several TV and/or radio stations in a given locale. Media chains are sure to take advantage of this relaxation o f anti-monopoly protections, Manno suggests, because “there’s huge gains to be made by having one administrative office oversee a plethora of prof it centers.” He thinks it increas ingly likely that “a station in Burlington will sound just like a station in Phoenix” as “cookiecutter formats” are applied in each outpost of a media empire.

Vermont poet Jane Shore tells her life story in verse
Bv

McCarthy.” But the simple story line camouflages a deeper meaning. An eight-ball toy becomes a metaphor for God. Unexpected violence from a bar mitzvah boy foreshadows gender and religious oppression. Like her mentor, Elizabeth Bishop, Shore has an eye for images — “objects that just stick in your head,” as Shore puts it over iced decaf in a Burlington coffee house. Those objects submerge and resurface throughout Music Minus One, marking the pas sage of time without measuring it exactly. Shore didn’t set out to write a memoir — even though the death of both parents and the birth of a daughter in the last decade made her a prime candi date. “I think I was always writ ing about these things, but
here are plenty of high notes in Music M inus One — a new volume of verse by East Calais poet Jane Shore. The title refers to her musical father, who gave up big-band life for Sunday sessions with the record player. As he played flute to background orchestra, Shore’s Music sounds against an ensem ble of autobiographical memo ries. Her literary solo pushes the limits of self-expression the way the best virtuoso perform ers do. As natural as it sounds, you know she’s been practicing. The book is written and structured more like a novel than a collection of verse — its conversational poems arrange themselves in four numbered sections that loosely correspond to childhood, adolescence, womanhood and motherhood. Although she skips over large chunks of her life — her four years at Goddard, and marriage to novelist Howard • Norman — the narrative thread holds. Characters take shape and develop in her New Jersey neighbor hood, where the Shores lived in an apartment above the family business. In her first poem, “Washing the Streets of Holland,” Shore imagines herself as Anne Frank, a tip toeing captive above her parents’ dress JANE SHORE. shop, “having to keep maybe not in such a concen quiet for hours at a time, The trated form,” she says. “There fantasy is a universal one was a template in my head.

ment over the store as innocent of Christmas as heaven, where God lived, how many stories above the world? “ she writes in a poem called “The Holiday Season.” “Jewishness is a reli gion,” Shore explains, “but for me in this book, it is also very cultural.” Ethnic interest did not keep Shore in yarmulke country. She came to Vermont for college, along with David Mamet, Norman Dubie and Roger Weingarten, then moved on to Iowa, where she got a masters degree and a dose of reality. “Goddard was terrific, small, one-on-one. Iowa was very macho,” Shore says. “These guys would come to readings with stacks of magazines, in which one of their poems had appeared. It was so ostenta tious.” A coveted, two-year writing fellowship followed, at Radcliffe, where Shore met and studied with Elizabeth Bishop. The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet demonstrated to Shore how verse could be both understated and deep. O n $ personal level, Bishop also served as a role model. “She was extremely modest. I once saw her read at a library, and somebody said, ‘Oh, Miss Bishop, would you read your poem ‘Sestina? She looked up and said, ‘Oh, do you like that one?”’ A lot o f that humility rubbed off on Shore, who, like her husband, defies all the stereotypes about pretentious writer-types. But despite dozens of awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, Shore is not that well known in Vermont. It has been 10 years since she published a book of poetry. “I’m slow,” she says. And prior to this year, she spent winters in Washington, D.C., where both she and Norman have full-time teaching jobs. Still, the long, long-range plan is to settle here. “The writer needs an address — very badly needs an address — that is his roots,” Shore quotes Isaac Bashevis Singer on the first page of Music Minus One. And by the end of the book, which shifts in focus from her own mother and father to parenting, Shore has a new one — where the moon rises over a Green Mountain “orange as the tip of a ciga- . rette.” Jane Shore will readfrom Music Minus One Thursday at Bear Pond Books, Montpelier, at 7 p.m. □

It was men who created Demi, I suddenly real ized, men who loved her, men who called her “a babe.” With a sinking feeling, not daring to believe what my intelligence told me, I looked anxiously at MissTartt. “Men are from Mars,” she purred seductively. “Women are from Venus.” And with that, the truth was revealed. I had found the key to Demi. Oh, sure, I still had some facts to check in order to prove my theory that Demi Moore is (or was) an alien, part of a vast galactic plot to eliminate taste, talent, style arid any trace o f authentic personality from American culture. You’ll be interested to know that a curso ry search of the Internet turned ^up more than 300,000 “hits” on Demi, and if that’s not fluo ride in the water, I don’t know what is. My guess is that the
1) Demi Moore was born in Roswell, New Mexico, the site of the most famous alien landing in American history. 2) Her real name is “Demetria,” and she is not, as you might imagine, Greek. According to McCall’s, she was named “after a beauty product her mother had seen in a maga zine.” That clinches it, in my opinion. Where else would a Martian look for a clue to the American brain? □ This is the first in what has been conceived as a regular col umn on contemporary culture, a curmudgeons comer, i f you like, committed to attacking every thing and everyone in the line o f vision. Peter Kurth is a biograph er whose heroine-subjects include Anastasia, Dorothy Thompson, Zelda Fitzgerald and Isadora Duncan. He lives in Burlington. (Paula Routlys “Backtalk” will return next week.)
more locally responsive pro gramming. WKDR, operating under the corporate title of Hometown Broadcasting, devotes more than half its day time hours to local news and • talk shows. This heavy invest ment in community informa tion reflects the fact that when Hometown’s owners “go shop ping in the Grand Union on Shelburne Road, we have to be able to live with what we’re broadcasting. That’s just not the case with other owner ships,” Manno says. But the management and staffs of every newspaper, radio station and TV channel operat ing in the Burlington area do, for the most part, live in the community, observes Diane Lynch, chair of the journalism department at St. Michael’s College. “The fact that their paychecks may come from outof-state is probably not nearly as important as the fact that they are sensitive to local con cerns,” Lynch says. How they are treated by those out-of-state owners, and their bosses’ sensitivity to criti cism, is another matter, sug gests Lauren-Glenn Davitian, director of a local public access TV station. In her mind the key issue is not whether a media outlet is owned by in- or out-of-staters, but whether it’s
commercial or nonprofit. Advertising considerations invariably drive decisions regarding content, Davitian argues. “It’s always been clear that regardless of who owns a particular media outlet, selling advertising is the reason for programming. The content itself is never the most impor tant thing.” The line separating a news room from an advertising

department has become increasingly blurred as pressure mounts to maximize profits, Davitian adds. Close to home, she cites the examples of Seven Days and Vermont Times. “If they run an article about you, they often want you to run an ad.” Even outlets such as Davitian’s Channel 17 are vul
nerable to the economic forces currently convulsing the media world, suggests WCAX vice president Peter Martin. He notes that direct satellite broad casting may soon have a pro found impact on cable TV sys tems across the United States. “If the satellite business serious ly undermines cable, the rev enues of companies like Adelphia will dwindle and the public-access stations they finance will become a declining resource,” Martin says. On balance, he finds, “local ownership will tend to be more responsive to a particular com munity in regard to news cov erage, public affairs and overall programming.” WCAX itself has “focused itself very careful ly” on Vermont news-gathering and presentation, Martin con tinues, “because it’s going to be very difficult for a satellite ser vice operating out-of-state to provide Vermont with the opportunity to speak to itself.” Martin also thinks that the corporate, regulatory and tech nological changes affecting the media during the past quartercentury have, on the whole, been beneficial to Vermont audiences. “The state is gener ally better served today,” he says. “Whether that will still be the case a few years from now, given all that’s taking place today, I have no idea, and nei ther does anyone else.” □

Then, of course, the CDs arrive with a healthy shipping fee attached, and what was once “free” now costs just enough to be annoying. We forget to send back the monthly postcard and wind up with Phil Collins Serious Hits. Live! Finally, we order six CDs, just to fulfill the membership obligation. Four weeks later, when they finally arrive, we find out that because the club was offering a BuyOne-Get-Another-For-HalfPrice Sale, only three of our CDs count towards member ship obligation. In disgust, we throw the bill aside, and a month later, our credit rating is destroyed by the music club’s financial bullies. We spend the rest of our lives unable to get bank loans or mortgages and wind up eating franks ’n’ beans in a tarpaper shack. As I sit in my tarpaper

e’ve all seen the CD club ads in Spin or Rolling Stone, promising a toogood-to-be-true deal on our favorite music. Gaudy paperboard inserts tempt us with a dozen free CDs! — as long as we promise to buy a half-dozen or fewer CDs at regular club prices before the Earth falls into the sun. Suddenly, CDs that we wouldn’t have paid full price for become must-haves, and we rationalize that we’ll have the cash by the time the CDs arrive, with years to fulfill the club obligation, so we mail the postage-paid card today.

shack, contemplating my ruined and useless life, I realize that I can still be of some good to humanity by passing on the knowledge I have painfully acquired through years of music club trial-and-error. So here, at no cost to you, is “How to Rip O ff the RipOffs.” The two major CD clubs are BMG and Columbia House, with a third, C D H Q , being Columbia House under a different name. The best deal? C D H Q , without a doubt. Columbia House has a terrific selection, but their member ship obligation usually involves purchasing more than one CD
at full price. BMG sends a bunch of free discs and only insists you buy one someday, but their selection leaves some thing to be desired. C D H Q combines BMG’s “10 for the price of 1” with Columbia House’s catalog, making it the obvious choice. You are not limited to the CD selection in the advertisement; you can order any CD from any recent C D H Q or Columbia House catalog; the numbers are the same in each. Lest we forget BMG alto gether, though, I must point out that it does have one redeeming value: You can order boxed sets as part of your ini tial free selections. I’ve done this twice with no problems. Instead of ordering eight free CDs, take a boxed set and four other discs, or two boxed sets, or whatever. Go nuts. Then, you wait for a long time for them to arrive. Wait times'fluctuate drastically, from three weeks to as many months. When the CDs finally arrive, pay the shipping charge (usually about $2 per CD) and return the bill. A few weeks later, you’ll get some coupons for free CDs. Fill out the coupons and write CANCEL MEMBERSHIP across the envelope in big bold letters. Your relationship with them is at an end (for now, at least). No deal they will ever offer will be more advanta geous than quitting after buying one CD and re-joining again for 10 more. After another four weeks, your CDs will arrive with a bill. If you don’t have the cash, just for get about it for a while;, they won’t bug you for three months. Once you pay them, BMG will never bother you again. CD HQ /Colum bia House, however, will keep try ing to get you to rejoin once you’ve left, like an ex-lover who keeps coming over to your apartment when drunk for sex. Don’t give in to either one of them; remember: there was a reason you broke off with both. Now you’re free of commit ment, and you have a bunch of new CDs. The logical thing to do now, of course, is to join up again and repeat the cycle. Most people will be able to find 30 or 40 CDs that they wouldn’t mind having in their collection, which necessitates multiple memberships. O n that subject, the ques tion arises, “How many mem berships can I have at once?” The answer: How badly can you spell? The clubs allow one Continued on page 22

H O P P I N G ALONG The efforts of a reported 150 people resulted in a smashing South End Art Hop last Friday — its only flaw was its brevi ty. But the Hop has grown in each of its four years, so perhaps next time we can look forward to expanded hours for taking in this much art. An evening of studio visits and guided tours notwithstanding, the highlight of this annual event is the juried boxcar exhibit and the notto-be-missed party in front of the adjacent Maltex Building. Gallery for a day, the gargantuan train car hauled in this year made for more breathing room between art entries and viewers. The drawback of the car is that its rust-splotched walls do not show all work to the best advantage. Case in point: the steeland rust-colored metal wall sculp ture by Clark Russell. Stark work, such as the giant, enigmatic black-and-white photo graph by Joe Mescha and Renata Slczypirorski held its own in the space, as did works that command ed three-dimensional — and, in some cases, aural — space: Rick Davis’ ingenious wire-and-electronic rendition of Joe Cocker, which loudly spewed that rock singer’s songs while flashing neon lights in its hands and chest; Homer Wells’ huge plexi cylinder encasing a weird contraption made from a paint-shaker, cast human face, and god-knows-what other industrial parts — the shaking illustrated its title, “Anger,” Jude Bond’s closet installation, filled with her charac teristic visual puns and nostalgic girlish references. This year’s juror, Fleming Museum Curator Janie Cohen, selected for First Prize (named after the late artist Michael Tyburski) one of a pair of paintings by Suzan White. Entitled “Grandmother,” it depicts a very old woman whose angel wings suggest imminent death. The cards she displays are repeated in the somewhat kitschy frame, which is covered with heavi ly varnished playing cards. Cohen says she was impressed with the inventive and unsentimentalized treatment of the theme of aging, its ironic and complex imagery that manages to be both humorous and ominous at once. Maea Brandt took second place with an abstracted figure painting, “The Letter,” whose bold palette is dominated by red. Third prize was won by Chris Sharp, whose bizarre but fine ly crafted sculpture with a humanoid tree trunk and a startling large dagger suspicious ly resembles the work of one Chris Hurd. Well deserved Honorable Mentions went to Jean Waltz for her strong, realist painting of a child in a bathtub and Nina Parris for her dreamlike photocollage-reminiscence, “Ellorree Swamp.” Parris also garnered the People’s Choice Award (named for another local artist who passed away this year, Margaret M. Carter). This year’s juried selection was eclectic, to say the least — and not a Holstein in sight. Kudos to the Art Hop committee for presenting such an excellent and diverse array of Vermont artists, not only in the boxcar but in the Maltex Building. It was a visual feast. —

or most people, the term “the men’s room” conjures up images of stained urinals or smoke-filled back rooms, pungent places where men con duct private or exclusionary business. The Men’s Room owned by Glenn Sautter, however, is a fresh form of full-service salon that opened unceremoniously on Burlington’s Church Street last month. W hat’s more, it smells good, thanks to the full spectrum of Aveda products. First came the barbers, then, as men wore their hair longer, the unisex salon. The Men’s Room reflects a ’90s trend in men’s personal and hair care. According to Sautter (in photo), contemporary fashion has instigated the comeback of barbershop tech niques, which he couples with salon services — including massage and aromatherapy. “We’re just going to take the combination of hair salon and barber shop into the 21st century,” says Sautter. The Men’s Room caters to the well-groomed man who enjoys rejuvenating both his hair and the rest of his body with a visit to a salon. “The impetus for this new space was to create an envi ronment that was not exclu sive to but comfortable for men,” says Sautter, who stresses that the austere whiteand-brick salon is definitely open to women. “This gener ation is in tune with taking advantage of services that are good for oneself, and which relieve everyday stress. The Men’s Room will appeal to the man who wants to take advan tage of the services found in salons, but doesn’t have the place to do it.” The Men’s Room is a depar ture from the unisex salon busi nesses that Sautter has operated for the past 30 years. His first salon, located just outside Philadelphia, serviced 75 to 100 people a day. W hen he moved to Vermont 11 years ago, Sautter opened a one-man Aveda Concept salon in Stowe, which adheres to the philoso phies of the Minneapolis-based, natural products company: value-added services focusing on more than the haircut, including the use of plant essences, and aromatherapy to stimulate the mind and create a pleasurable experience. Initially, Sautter served about 20 people a day in Stowe, choosing to concentrate more on his craft than on maintain ing a competitive business.
F
After expanding to four employees and an increased clientele of 30 to 40 a day, Sautter decided it was time to break new ground — or, in salon parlance, to cut new hair. On August 1, the doors opened to The Men’s Room: A Full Service Salon. Located above Von Bargen’s jewelers on lower Church Street, Sautter’s salon looks like a misplaced New York City loft. A sandwich board outside directs you up a flight of stairs covered in worn gray carpeting, but the landing opens up to a whitewashed, wooden-floored oasis — big picture windows encased in bleached brick walls yawn wide beams of daylight into the salon, and offer a view of City Hall.” You might mistake the

New in downtown Burlington, a beauty salon for guys place for an abandoned dressing room for weekend dramatists: There are only a few visible styling implements, and one obvious shelf of Aveda’s unisex scents. “I don’t like to show product,” admits Sautter, “I like everything hidden.” Also obscured in back rooms are the Stress Relieving Room, where clients can receive a head mas sage and shampoo, and the Private Service Room, where “foot overhauls” — including lower-leg and foot massage — take place. Talk about royal treatment. “I think men are definitely intimidated by most hair salons,” says Sautter, hence his painstaking care in creating the environment as well as the ter minology used in The Men’s Room. Everything about the salon was carefully thought out, from its sparseness to the names of its services. Coloring is referred to as “gray manage m ent,” manicures (including
sage. The salon is clean and it’s modernized, and it has some good people working there.” Anyone can excuse them selves to The Men’s Room between 9 and 5, Monday through Friday, or 10 to 4 on Saturday. Prices range from $16-$25 for a cut; five bucks will get you a “beard styling,” and it’s only $25 for a complete “overhaul.” And in that big open space? Sautter plans to exhibit the work of local artists, enhancing the loft look. “I think men who would appreciate a place like this would also appreciate the . art,” he says. “Hair is part of the fashion world and fashion is part of the art world — it all interconnects.” □ Look for an “Already Opened!Art Show”party, co-presented with GKW Working Design, with work by Winooski photographer Dan Higgins, October 4..

ARIES
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I wouldn’t exactly compare this week to a smooth cruise in a limousine. Nor can 1 predict eight lanes o f yellowbrick road stretching to infinity under a sheltering sky. Nope, Aries, your travels will be far more interesting than that, far more snaky and roundabout. Some of the craggy detours you’ll need to negotiate may not even look like paths, let alone streets. Forget the maps, but don’t just drive blindly, either. Head in the direction that smells the best. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): I recommend that you graze the book Six Months O ff (The Sabbatical Book), by Hope Dlugozima, James Scott and I David Sharp. It’s crammed with advice | about how to uncram your life by ; treating yourself to a strategic break in | the action. This is, you see, the perfect astrological mom ent for you to contemplate giving yourself such a drastic gift. I suppose it’s possible that an entire half a year of serious fun might be too much. Maybe even a month’s leave of absence is totally impractical any time soon. But at least let the sabbatical fantasy rage and shine in your primeval imagination.

the presence o f that certain someone. I predict you’re about to get a dose of this befuddling disjunction — unless you immediately make this your mantra: M y body never lies. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Uhoh. Mercury’s retrograde. You know what that means: garbled phone calls, fouled-up travel plans, missed deadlines, embarrassing slips o f the tongue. Right? Wrong! How many times do I have to tell you not to turn the sacred art of astrology into just another excuse to be superstitious! Using half-baked horoscopy to justify self-fulfilling prophecies is astrology abuse in the extreme! Oops. Sorry to get so riled up. I’m a little sensitive about this. I truly love astrology’s power to enhance our willpower, and it bugs me when it’s ignorantly invoked to accomplish the very opposite. In conclusion, Cancer, Mercury retrograde does not presage communication snafus. Rather, it tells you this is a great time to refine the ways you exchange information. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): W ith both Mars and Venus lighting up your sign through the end o f the m onth, you have even more power than usual to entrance and bewitch anyone you aim your charisma at. A s your conscience, I have a dtirv to hep vnu not to
especially if that moves them to give you some sterling perks, like an offer of a better gig or a fascinating new responsibility. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): W hen I talk about a Portal, I mean a symbolic gateway that marks a potential transition between one phase o f your life and another. Just because a Portal is nearby is no guarantee that you’ll — enter it, or even see it. (I remember how, when I was living in North Carolina, a Portal to a new life in California opened years before I was able to slip through it.) My astrological intuition tells me that you’re very close to a Portal right now. Ready or not, I urge you to sidle up to it and at least explore it in detail. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My fiveyear-old daughter Zoe sincerely believes that Band-Aids possess a curative power. Following a scraped knee or elbow, she unfailingly pleads for their balm. My scientific mind is bemusedly skeptical about it. I know there’s no medicine inside the BandAid. It couldn’t possibly have a literally soothing effect. Yet when I see how

assuaged soon — it’s worth a try. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Relief is in store for the millions of you who’re tormented by the relentless antics o f your monkey mind. Due to an imminent religious experience, the little imp is about to shut its trap. For at least 24 hours, and possibly longer, you’ll be deliriously free o f the usual inanities. G od’s face will seem to burst through the sky, only to reveal an even more shockingly beautiful visage behind it — whereupon you’ll be invited to weep with lucid joy. S A GI T TAR I US (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do you like to watch? If so, this week’s message probably isn’t for you. Maybe one of those tabloid horoscope columns will have some more useful advice. (“Good time to catch up on gossip. Treat yourself to lots of TV. Drink beer and dream of celebrities.”) But if you’re one o f that 5 percent of the population for whom life is not a spectator sport, I have wcmderful news: You now have the clout to transform your tribe or gang in ways it’s always been resistant to before. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): O ur language has long had a word meaning “fear o f the number 13.” It’s “triskaidekapftobia,” I believe its high time we coined an opposite term. As o f midnight this Friday, September formal addition ro

fortuitous astrological aspects available to you on Friday the 13th and the surrounding days — I hereby name you Capricorns “Triskaidekaphiliacs of the Week.” And I predict that your abundance o f luck will result in you finally translating one of your good intentions (you know, the kind the road to hell is paved with) into a crafty practical action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As an organic food aficionado who’s allergic to suburbia, I wouldn’t normally dine at a hot dog stand in the mall. But that’s exactly what I did today. N or would I ordinarily read books by authors whose viewpoints disgust me, or strike up conversations with blue-haired matrons who’re sporting Dole-Kemp buttons. But following the usual routine doesn’t make sense right now for anyone who, like me, wants to tap into the Aquarius power-points in their personal charts. Rebellion is our duty, my fellow insurrectionaries — not so much aginst the targets we always revolt against anyway, but against ail our owyi customs and comforts. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Want to know what kind o f week it’ll be? I’ll tell you. It’ll be the kind o f week where maybe you’ll sneeze while chewing bubble gum, launching the pink gooey stuff onto the sidewalk below you in just such a vrsy that tto |n Q tvm r™ ™ '■

Below are credits from a recent film which featured several well-known performers, had a big-name director and got lots of publicity. What it didn't have was much success at the box office. In fact, it came and went so fast we challenge you to even remember its name...

BULLETPROOF*** 'f 5 1 f ^ . ' Adam Sandler makes the transition to action star in $ Bulletproof, the new buddy film from director Ernpst T’ ! Dickerson. And, as I sat in the theater dusk anticipating what would certainly prove a virtual PSA for recycling, it hit me that almost everything I had seen this summer had, in fact, seemed strangely familiar. Like a loud, computerenhanced, derivative collage, the season passed before my Sequels. They’re the cash cows in a business grown fat by milking every last dime out of a concert before putting , a |l|n rft m ir Uf|TfJ . , rT it out to pasture. This summer it was dear that such NUMBER ONE WlTn A BULLET Waydns remembrances of paydays past, like Escape From LA. and , c ,, r , , .A , ^ All Dogt Go to Heaven 2, were overdue for a trip to the aHd Sandler team up for a aumbtped slaughterhouse. A Very Brady Sequel made money, but I buddy film that’s unexpectedly funny. like the slaughterhouse trip idea for the premise of their next installment. Then there were the remakes (The Nutty Professor, The Island o f Dr. Moreau, The Adventures of Pinocchio) and movies made from old TV shows (Mission: Impossible, Sgt. Bilko, Flipper). These certainly contributed to the season’s been-there-done-that aftertaste. Of course, some Hollywood types were too lazy even to make new films out of old ideas and simply released old films: Disney dusted off Oliver & Company, Miramax pulled the 20-year-old Switchblade Sisters out of mothballs, and Jackie Chan brought his 1992 Asian hit, Supercop, out of retirement. Hey, if I wanted to spend a lot of money and just see the same old movies over and over again, I’d subscribe to HBO. And then there were the copycats, some more subtle than others. Courage Under Fire was a bracing, literate retooling of A Soldier’s Story; Joe’s Apartment wots the scene of a clever Pepsi-generation extrapola tion of Willard On the other hand, Bordello of Bloods transfusion from Tarantino’s From Dusk Til Dawn was anything but A-positive, while it couldn’t hold a candle to the Powder/Phenomenon irony. Here you had a touching parable about a bald albino maligned because he’s different, and the importance of not judging someone by how he looks. But nobody bought a ticket for it until they made essentially the same film again, only with a better-looking cast, and suddenly: $100 million. This summer, audi ences boldly declared that it’s okay to be different as long as that means cuter, smarter and richer. Dimples don’t hurt, either. From the hits to the misses, it was dejh vu all over the place. Twister was a ’70s disaster flick in com puter-generated disguise; A Time to Kill was a yuppie To Kill a Mockingbird The producers of Jack tried to make it Big. The Fan — a veritable greatest-hits compilation of De Niro ticks and psychoses — struck out quickly. (Not to mention the fact that then! already was a movie about a celebrity-obsessed C. A stalker called The Fan, made in 1981. These guys couldn’t even come up with an original tide!) And,' let’s ^ ^ I^ P face it: The summer’s highest-grossing picture, Independence Day, was really just War of the Worlds with irony and bigger spareships. And, while the sun did shine on an occasional example of innovative film-making (Lone Star, Trainspotting Multiplicity, The Cable Guy, The Frighteners), box-office fate did not smile on them to any great degree. For the most part this summer familiarity bred success, and we all know what that bodes for the summer of ’97. Yup,.more of the same. Whoever said they don’t make them like they used to obviously hasn’t been to the movies lately. Oh, yeah, Bulletproofwas a riot.

PREVIEWS THE FI RST WIVES CLUB
Based on Olivia Goldsmith’s novel about three women who take revenge on their husbands for discarding them in favor of younger ones, Hugh Wilson’s latest teams Diane Keaton, Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn and, despite a variety of production upheavals, has the potential to prove the first big hit of the fall. MAXIMUM RI SK The most fitting movie title sinceBogus. Believe it or not, this is the second action adventure in which Jean-Claude Van Damme has played identical twin brothers, one of whom is, of course, extremely £vil (remember Double Impact*). Now, if he’d just make a movie in which he battles Whoopi Goldberg — that’s something I’d pay to see. FEELING MINNESOTA Keanu Reeves stank up the screen widi the big-budget Chain Reaction earlier this summer. Lets see what he does with this shoestring production from writer-director Steven Baigelman about two brothers who fall for the same woman (Cameron Diaz). HEAVY Novice writer-director James Mangold describes his 1995 Sundance prize-winner as “meat and potatoes filmmaking. Which is appropriate since the picture tells the story of an overweight pizza cook (Pruitt Taylor Vince) and his unrequited love for a beautiful waitress (Liv Tyler). DEAD MAN Johnny Depp stars in the latest from independent legend Jim Jarmusch, one of the best black-and-white postmodern westerns you’ll see this year. SHE’ S THE ONE Jennifer Aniston makes friends with Mike McGlone in the second film from Ed ( The Brothers McMullen) Burns. Also featuring Cameron Diaz and the great John Mahoney.
SHORTS
THE SPITFIRE GRI LL*** Industrial-strength weeper from one-time “MacGyver” director Lee David Zlotoff and teaming Ellen Burstyn with Alison Elliott. Elliott plays a young, spunky ex-con who arrives like a breath of fresh air in a dejected backwoods town. BOGUS (NR) Don’t you love it when movies write their own reviews? Whoopi Goldberg plays a foster mother who takes in a young orphan and his imaginary pal. If her recent track record is any indication, the title should pretty much say it all. With G£rard Depardieu.

Dear Love Counselor, My mother always said that I should just "be m yself' and people will like me. This doesn't seem to work on dates. I set so selfconscicus that I can't be myself if that makes any sense. I just seem to drive men away. What do you suggest? —A.J., S. Burlington Dear A.J., your mama also said, "you better shop around." And she meant tor a personality as well as a man. It's impossible to be who you are if you don't know who that is. There's actually a simple test for selfdiscovery, and any Ph.D. in clinical psychology can administer it. In the meantime, I recommend that you examine your more obvious traits — breath and dress. And then, put your well-groomed self in the best possible light. Dark venues, like movie theaters and smoky pubs, will make you more alluring and mysterious. Long walks and short conversations will make you appear more earthy and philo sophical. The most common first-date mistake is going out to dinner. It's far too complicated and ceremonious, you run the risk of running at the mouth, running cut of things to say, and then finding out you have spinach in your teeth. Keep flatware cut of the negotiations. And be sure to leave him wondering — the imagination is a powerful, and sometimes seductive, thing. With love, Lola
