Curses, Foiled Again Two men who used knives to try to rob an Indianapolis gun shop were killed when owner Joseph Montgomery shot them. Montgomery told police the suspects entered his 500 Guns store with knives drawn and forced him into a restroom, where he kept a gun hidden for just such occasions. Police found the robbers lying on the floor with stolen guns tucked in their waistbands and pockets. • When Alexander Ocasio, 30, applied to become a police officer in West Haven, Connecticut, a routine back ground check turned up a fugitive warrant from Nevada for fraud charges. Police immediately called Ocasio and told him to come to the sta tion so they could get his fin gerprints for the job applica tion. W hen he arrived, they arrested him. “Its one of the dumbest things he could have done,” Nevada deputy attor ney general Matthew DushofF said. “We never would have found him otherwise, and he walked right into it.” • Five female bank robbers pulled off a heist at a bank in Olympia, Washington, with clockwork precision, only to be nabbed when they left a trail of clues that led police to them. Besides dumping their clothes and guns in the woods where police easily found

Strangers in a Strange Land After YugoslavianAmericans Boris Angelevski, 56, his wife and their 31-yearold son fought over the sons becoming too Americanized, the family barricaded them selves inside their South River, New Jersey, apartment and threatened police who tried to intervene. When they surren dered 11 hours later, police reported that the inside of their apartment was lined with aluminum foil, which they said Angelevski explained was to keep out “moonbeams and rays from the outer planets.” During the siege, many of the curious onlookers showed up wearing homemade aluminum foil coats and hats.

the century-old tradition that members of the House of Commons use top hats to catch the speakers eye and raise a point of order during a vote after its modernization committee noted that “this particular practice has almost certainly brought the House into greater ridicule than almost any other, particularly since the advent of television.”

Second-Amendment Follies James Dorsey, 12, was killed in a downstairs room of his family’s home in Snow Hill, Maryland, when a gun being loaded in an upstairs bedroom by Theodore Roosevelt Cropper, 33, acci dentally fired, and the bullet went through the floor and hit the boy. • Robert Callahan, 47, was critically wounded in Bonita Springs, Florida, after his friend Randell James Baker, 45, tried to shoot the button off the top of a baseball cap that Callahan was wearing. Baker told sheriff’s investiga tors that the two men played the shooting game whenever one of them got a new baseball cap.

Justice Is Swift When Common Pleas Judge Sheldon C. Jelin heard that a Philadelphia police offi cer scheduled to testify in a drug case had been delayed because he had a flat tire, the judge called a recess, got into his car and

personally drove to pick up the officer. “The judge believes that justice delayed is justice denied,” Assistant District Attorney Andrew Klein said.

Coffin Nails Smoking could reduce the size of a man’s erect penis, according to researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine. Their study con cluded that smoking affects the penis much as it does the heart, damaging the blood ves

sels and inhibiting blood flow, which in turn affects elastin, the substance believed to gov ern a man’s ability to have an erection. • Significantly more job acci dents occur on Britain’s No Smoking Day, the second Wednesday of every March, than on the Wednesday before or after, according Dr. Andrew J. Waters and his colleagues at London’s Institute of Psychiatry. The researchers analyzed statistics compiled by the government agency that monitors workplace safety to test whether ||a smokers §p| who suddenly W abstain from nico tine suffer from poor mental performance and bad moods contribute to a rise in mishaps.

Rested and Ready The Washington-based National Sleep Foundation this year for the first time hired a lobbyist, whose job is to try to persuade federal law makers of the benefits of mid day naps.

Jt O O o

ts difficult to know what to say just now about the Presidents little mess, since by the time this column appears anything might have happened, and one wouldn’t want to look like a fool by making predictions, right? After all, I’m the one who said that Charles and Diana would never get divorced because it just wasn’t done. So forgive me if I don’t take a guess at what the next sce nario might be as a once-proud nation chokes on its own hypocrisy and the utter degra dation of its politics and cul ture. Whatever transpires, it’ll be insane, and you won’t have a prayer of not hearing about it. The President promised us a bridge to the future, and, by God, that’s what we’ve got. Only it isn’t in the future at all. “The age of darkness is not something distant,” the colum nist Dorothy Thompson once said. “It is upon us; we are in it.” I vowed at first not to read the Starr report when it came out on Friday, not because it was “salacious” — goodness to Betsy, what prudes our pundits are! O brave new world that has such creatures in it! — but because I’m so disgusted by the dimensions this witch hunt has assumed. And I’m so contemp tuous of the frothing, sancti monious, Southern-boy-withmorals Mr. Starr that I couldn’t bear the sound of his million aire Republican voice being

Call

Starr is impelled by “principles” and “values,” that he’s the son of a fundamentalist preacher who once took aim at the women in his congregation because he saw them wearing Bermuda shorts, and that he “truly believes” that Clinton has sinned. Starr is a snake and a fascist, whose sole purpose in this matter has been to bring down a duly elected Democratic president whose “sins,” as they both know, are business as usual in the town they call home. The media know it too. Indeed, if you want “salacious,” you should hang out with the boys on the bus. Point o f clarification: Please do not tell me that I need to define my terms more precisely when I say “the media.” We all know what we mean when we talk of that infernal, shrieking machine, which, the arrogance of journalists notwithstanding, has no higher goal than ratings, profits and contracts for its stars. The only thing more repellent than the American media’s almighty self-impor tance is the bald-faced lie that they do it all for you. They don’t. They do it all for their corporate owners, who will be the chief beneficiaries of the Clinton debacle. The notso-secret agenda behind Clinton’s persecution is not just to remove him from office — he of gays in the military, a quixotic health-care plan, and the stubborn suspicion that Americans ought to be protect ed from the effects of untram melled capitalism — but to weaken the Presidency perma nently and erode the concept of the nation-state, the next

derives its first, last and only constant selling point from the suggestion and depiction of sex, that offers up monster hits like There’s Something About Mary to the vast amusement of the population, that introduces its “new” fall TV schedule with idiotic snippets of salacious repartee (“You’re doing it with him!?” “He grabbed your what!?”), that tells you at every turn, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and by every means known to broadcast technology that the solution to all your problems can be bought in a jar, has no business whatsoever feeling “disappoint ed” or “betrayed” by Bubba and his cigar. I take my life in my hands as I write this, probably, know ing how certain women of my acquaintance feel about the Great Boobmeister, but I sub mit fearlessly and without reservation: The President owes no apology to Monica Lewinsky, or her Beverly Hills businessman father, or her neurasthenic, Park Avenue mother, who writes gushy little books about the sex lives of The Three Tenors. You lie with dogs, you get up with fleas. And this was always and every where the case. The constant comparison of Monica Lewinsky with a con fused graduate student who’s been groped and dumped by her malignant professor is igno rant, puerile and specious. Read her own testimony and you’ll see how it all came down: Clinton is the First Idiot, no doubt about it, but Monica only ceased to get what she wanted when he tried to blow her off. Hang me for a knave if you must, but take your Monica-as-Victim fantasy somewhere else. Please. All in all, the only thing that surprised me in the Starr report is that the Chief Exhibitor and his dimwitted plaything didn’t light the cigar when they messed around on the desk, thus depriving the American people of the only really kinky aspect this story might have had. Peuple! A genoux! The French are laughing their heads off, and your liberties — yours if the term “We the People” means anything at all — are being sold down the river by fat men in suits, faking shock and dismay at the kind of encounter that’s second nature to them all. Salacious, my ass. Try craven, cowardly, false and opportunistic. And remember, when you vote next time, that a separate circle of hell is reserved for panderers and hypocrites, your self among them if you don’t grow up. (7)

Take your Monica-asVictim fantasy some where else. Please. shocked, shocked amid all the muck about semen and cigars. Just being told that somebody has “prayed” before subverting the Constitution doesn’t make the subversion any less evil, nor excuse the inexcusable — and, in any other forum, illegal — invasion of the private lives of consenting adults. You can argue about this till doomsday if you want: A President who swore before his first election that he didn’t inhale when he smoked marijuana has not sud denly been revealed as a liar. As to Clinton, I don’t know which is worse, his desperate pleas for forgiveness — when he ought to have fired Ken Starr three years ago, or, as Gore Vidal has suggested, run him through with his sword — or the media’s insistence that

logical step in the systematic transfer of power and wealth to the corporate world. Believe it: The press has connived 100 percent in the downfall of this President. And here you were thinking it was a question of “morality” and “leadership.” Point o f solace: Millions of Americans now know what the word “salacious” means, or at least can use it in a sentence, provided that sentence specifi cally relates to the President’s penis and Monica Lewinsky’s “intimate” regions. “I just feel that the President has been too salacious to remain in office,” the man in the street might say. “If it weren’t for how salacious he is, I’d be willing to forgive him.” Point o f incredulity.

erek Hess believes the pen is definitely mightier th an .. .the computer. The Cleveland native, one o f a handful of poster artists with national name recognition, has something that many of his technology-reliant peers do not: drawing skills. Imagine, say, Leonardo da Vinci living in the late 20th century, influenced by comic books and rock music, and using his considerable tal ent to put a face on the sound track of his times.

W hen his show, “Yetis and Corndogs,” opens this Friday at the Exquisite Corpse, some 50 posters and fine-art prints strong, Burlington viewers will have a chance to discover first hand why poster collectors and underground bands nationwide — bands like Craw, Guided by Voices and The Jesus Lizard — consider Derek Hess an art god. But godliness doesn’t neces sarily explain the recurrent cherubs that populate Hess’ work — nor are the chubby lit-

tie creatures all that angelic. In his poster for Unsane, for instance, two winged ones work “mental floss” in one ear and out the other of a green-faced man. For Season to Risk, task master cherubs with tiny whips hover just behind weary, blind folded laborers pulling ploughs through asphalt. In a couple of his fine-art serigraphs, Hess positions cherubs on the shoul ders of a central figure — that is nearly always male — and you suspect their counsel, whis

pered into either ear, might suggest warring paths. The classic angel-or-devil m otif occurs often enough in Hess’ work that you also begin to suspect it implies some dia bolical conflicts or temptations in his own life. Like many a man in his early thirties, Hess has been down the road of drug and alcohol abuse and back again, but the idea of the tor tured artist brimming with repressed fury dissolves nearly as soon as he picks up the

phone in Cleveland. A conver sation with Hess last week revealed a guy as amiable as he is talented. And those near-horrific, explosively energetic, darkly satirical figures? Let’s just say that Hess leaves his angst in the ink. His personal iconography also includes sinuous, muscled figures — anatomically correct, if sometimes distorted — bar ren backgrounds reminiscent of the Surrealists, menacing and sometimes anthropomorphized

technology, and a poignant sense of human struggle in the modern world. Like the skateboard nation, his figures are often clad in baggy jeans with underwear showing. Football helmets crop up, too, which may or may not relate to Hess’ fervor for the prodigal Browns. His free-asso ciative images reveal a delight in the visual — and often literal — juxtaposition of words. In a poster for The Afghan Whigs, for example, a nude woman seen from above “wears” a tee tering Afghan dog on her head. Like Breugel and any num ber of artists who chose to wres tle with the demons of their time through art, Hess captures the human condition in all its fragility, desperation and vain glorious heroism. Like the work of his comic-book mentors, Hess’ figures seem to burst and strain from their paper corral, dynamically depicted from unusual angles. But eschewing overt violence, his works instead merely hint at malevo lence, societal oppression and, yes, the alienation of the X gen eration. It was his “connection to the youthcore scene,” says Michelle Wallace at Exquisite Corpse, “that appealed to us.” His show at the gallery owned by Jager DiPaola Kemp Design evolved from some work Hess did for a JDK client, Roces inline skates. “He did a portrait collage of some of their pro rid ers.” Wallace notes, adding that Hess rarely takes commercial jobs. “It’s figurative, aggressive without being graphic,” Hess says of his art work. “I like to imply rather than lay it all out, it’s better than shock value. A lot of poster art, or pop culture in general, is way desensitized to graphic violence. My work may not grab the person’s atten tion immediately, but I think once it does it’ll hold them longer.” W hat sets his work apart from current trends in poster art, explains Hess’ agent, Marty Geramita, is “his use of color, his imagination. He’s an amaz ing illustrator. W hen you see it, you know it’s Derek Hess.” Unlike the day-glo colors and cartoon-like images of the much-imitated San Francisco poster artist Frank Kozik, Hess favors subdued colors and com positions that actually encour age contemplation. Geramita, a former med student and avid poster-art col lector from Austin, discovered Hess in 1993 when he moved to Cleveland. “One day at a record store I saw a black and white flier by Derek, and I thought, ‘wow, this was beyond anything I saw in Texas.” At the time Hess was drawing fliers for the bands he was booking at the Euclid Tavern — the own ers of the blues ’n rock dive

gave him Monday nights to book the hard-edged alternative bands he favored. Hess lived upstairs while attending the Cleveland Institute of Art. As soon as Geramita spotted his flier, he called Hess up and offered to provide the funding for making color posters. It was

tion of the Museum of Advertising Design at the Louvre. And what it means, for one thing, is that art purists who think its only rock ’n’ roll ought to think again. In a phone interview, Derek Hess talked about art, life and Cleveland. A few excerpts:

Eschewing overt violence, his works instead merely hint at malevolence, societal oppression and, yes. the alienation of the X generation.

through your mind first — a visual play on their name? DH: That, and if I’m really familiar with them possibly the people in the band, and what the music’s about. That usually gives me plenty to work with. I generally only work on bands that I’m into or like. Not Matchbox 20 or whatever the hip bands are at the minute. SD: Can I run a few Burlington band names by you and see what image pops into your mind? DH: Sure. SD: Chin Ho! — modern rock, male, lively lead singer. DH: I’d probably play off the “Hawaii Five-0” thing — like that ’70s-oriented Beastie Boys video, like some guy obviously a cop in an unmarked car. SD: Construction Joe, sort o f altcountry, with a cello. DH: .. .1 would go with a bluecollar guy with a 12-hour shad ow playing a delicate cello — I like things that don’t fit togeth er. Maybe he’d be conducting an orchestra with a monkey wrench. SD: Buck & the Black Cats, rockabilly. DH: Hmmm. I’d have to work on that one a bit. But I like to do animals — maybe a half-cat, half-man rockabilly person. SD: Chainsaws & Children, sort o f hard-edged and techno. DH: A hardcore baby playing with a chainsaw — it’s not on, but there’s an impending kind of feel, maybe he’s teething on it or something.

a perfect match. Through his Altered Image gallery, Geramita oversees the sale of works from $30 posters to fine-art prints worth several hundred dollars apiece. Hess’ work is now in demand around the world — he’s huge, inexplicably, in Australia. “Poster art is a real interna tional phenomenon,” explains Geramita. “In some countries it’s big business.” The 29-yearold art entrepreneur notes that in some countries, such as Poland, “the poster is viewed more as a fine art, whereas here it’s viewed more as the bastard child of fine art.” Bastard or legit, Hess’ work is a virtual signpost o f the times. Though this son of a for mer industrial design professor has never finished his own degree, a lifetime of drawing has taken him from the Kiss doodles in his junior high note books to the covers of maga zines and the permanent collec

SD: Why did you reject the hightech Look in graphic design? DH: I don’t want to look dated. Figurative work is timetested — it’s what’s worked over time. SD: Can you explain your tech nique o f photostat scratching? DH: It’s kind of a thing I devel oped for myself, it’s basically a photograph of your work with a surface you can scratch on easily. When I was in art school I was working on lithostone; when I got out of school I did n’t have access to that kind of equipment, so I needed to develop a technique to imitate that process. I also hand-color the photostats, with inks that are made for markers. The up side is they look good; the down side is they’re really frag ile. Now photostats are being phased out, it’s kind of a bummer. SD: When you sit down to illus trate a band poster, what goes

SD: Last one: Orange Factory, acid souUfunk. DH: My immediate thought is oranges coming out on a con veyor belt, but that doesn’t reflect the music. Maybe a large hand holding out an orange, with the name Orange Factory stamped on it like Sunkist. SD: So you ve gone against the grain o f the day-glo nation. What are your influences, i f any? DH: You’ve gotta have influ ences. Mine are the Old Masters, Heinrich Kley — he’s from like 1909, he did stuff like I do, very figurative, crazy jux tapositions, like elephants fig ure-skating. Gil Kane, the comic book artist. Music has always been a big thing in my life; I still think it’s cool that I’m able to work with music and art. SD: Have you launched a trend in the opposite direction? Are we seeing Derek Hess imitators? DH: I really don’t have much, which is good and bad.

SD: Maybe its because most peo ple cant draw as well. In another interview you described yourself

September

as a stickler for fundamentals, i.e., drawing skills, Midwestern values and a strong work ethic. Can you elaborate? DH: Art schools used to require fundamentals, but the old gen erations are dying off and it’s not being passed on. SD: Do you have any interest in teaching, yourself? DH: No. SD: Speaking o f Midwestern val ues, what’s so great about Cleveland? DH: Cleveland’s cool. We have one of the largest fresh-water sources anywhere, so when the apocalypse comes, we’ll be set. Lake Erie freezes in winter; when I was a kid you could ride dirt bikes on it, but it doesn’t freeze completely anymore. SD: How did the Museum o f Advertising Design at the Louvre discover your work? DH: I had some stuff in Affiche, a European magazine about poster art; they ran a story about me. The art school contacted me through [Cleveland gallery owner] Bill Busta. We had to get their letter translated, we had no idea what they were saying. Now they have about 30 of my concert posters. SD: What posters, among the dozens you’ve made, are you par ticularly fond of? DH: The Guided by Voices, the second one. It will be at the show. And an Upper Crust one I just did. It’s also in the show. SD: I liked your line, “One mans appropriation is another mans livelihood. ” Can you talk about some o f the things you’ve “appro priated”for your posters, and how you use it? DH: Usually I like to find something that would lend itself to the piece without becoming the focal point. You find things to put in your work, you don’t want to rely on it, it could quickly become a crutch. In my first Guided by Voices poster, I have a man walking with a cane. I took a page from the MMPI [a personality test] and ran it subtly behind him. SD: I read that you collect tanks. Are we talking miniatures or actual size? DH: (Laughs) A three-car garage or a one-tank garage? Actually, they’re die-cast minia tures, they’re still made o f steel. I just got a tattoo on my arm of a model that came out in 1960 — from the drawing on the side of the box. SD: Any other quirks I should know about? DH: I don’t think so. ® “Yetis and Comdogs, ”poster art by Derek Hess, opens Friday at the Exquisite Corpse, Burlington.

t’s 10 o’clock in the morning on Primary Day, and the faithful are filing into the polls at St. Mark’s Youth Center, in Burlington’s Ward 4. Many of the voters carry offer ings of canned goods for the Food Shelf. Most are elderly. And all are on a first-name basis with Hank Gretkowski, the white-haired legislator greeting them on the sidewalk. Gretkowski’s roots run deep in the district. Like many of the voters turning out today, he’s lived in the neighborhood since the mid-1960s. He and the missus, Assistant Judge Elizabeth Gretkowski, raised their four sons here, and are members in good standing at St. Mark’s Parish, where Liz’s brother happens to be the pas tor. Though Hank Gretkowski, like his colleague Bill Aswad, is running unopposed this year, it never hurts to keep in touch with your constituents. And up in this end of town, election day feels less like an exercise in democracy than a neighbor hood block party. “There’s the big guy,” one fellow hails him. Gretkowski cocks his head, concerned. “How’re you feel ing?” The two chat intimately about heart medications until Gretkowski turns to ask the next voter, “How did the wed-^ ding go?”

elcome to the New North End — three quiet miles of ’60s ranch houses and neat lawns laid out between the lake and the Intervale, from Burlington High to the mouth of the Winooski River. Slicing down the center of the neighborhood is North Avenue, a broad thor oughfare dotted with corner stores, service stations and the Ethan Allen Shopping Center — home of Burlington’s cheap est movie theater, best hardware store and only bowling alley. Real estate ads tout the area’s neighborhood schools, plentiful parks and proximity to the bike path. What they don’t tell prospective buyers is that this is the “other” Burlington — the long-ignored behemoth that shook off its suburban slumber back in 1993 when it tossed Peter Clavelle out of the mayor’s office, ending 12 years of Progressive rule. The Progressives took back City Hall in the next election. But the New North End has remained the G O P’s powerbase within the Queen City. And in the minds of “real” Burlingtonians, the area has retained its sneering designation as “South Colchester.” Ask some New North Enders to describe City Hall’s attitude about their part of town, and the query is likely to be met with a raised eyebrow. “I do not think that the majority of the residents o f the New North End think they’re being represented by the mayor’s office,” says Kurt Wright, a

Ward 4 City Councilor and potential mayoral candidate who’s built his political career around such allegations. “The majority of people feel that this is not his constituency, and our services are being ignored because of that.” During last January’s ice storm, says Bill Mitchell, assis tant to the mayor, he received calls from New North End resi

the New North End Youth Center as evidence that the administration does attend to New North End issues. Ask your average Burlingtonian to describe the New North End, and you’re likely to hear terms like “tightfisted,” “parochial,” “conserva tive” and “rich.” This reputa tion is also unfounded, says Mitchell, who happens to live

likely to hear terms like “tight-fisted,” “parochial,” “conser vative” and “rich.” dents who were angry that their electricity was out, while houses in the Old North End had power. Mitchell laughs off the implication, explaining that the Appletree Point outage was caused by a downed feeder line. He cites a recent clean-up at the mouth o f the river, repairs to North Avenue, and support for

in the New North End himself, along with a number of other prominent Progressives, includ ing Bernie Sanders. “The myth that the Left holds about the New North End is that it’s largely voters who have got it made compared to the rest of the city,” Mitchell observes. “But the truth is that

there are a whole lot of people there who have moved out of the Old North End and bought their first homes, working mul tiple jobs to pay the mortgage.” Though the neighborhood does include some of the city’s priciest homes, it’s also the site of Burlington’s only trailer park, as well as Northgate, the largest affordable housing complex in the state. One commonly used indicator of an area’s affluence is the number of families who qualify for the federal free or reduced school-lunch program. Figures from the New North End paint a picture of a com munity where incomes are sharply divided. C.P. Smith, the school that serves the southern end of the neighborhood, has the lowest percentage of eligible students in the city — 22 per cent. But at Flynn Elementary School, farther up the Avenue, the rate is 47 percent. As long time resident and former leg islative hopeful Bob Garvey notes, the New North End is actually more economically diverse than most areas of the city. “You have a broader mix ture of people here,” he points out. “It’s a potpourri that’s more representative of the rest of Vermont.” Last year, Garvey and his wife moved to Burlington’s South End. Their new house is very much like the one they left, he sighs, but it’s just not the same. “If you leave this end of town, it’s like leaving town. All your routes, your routines, and your friends are right here. The New North End is like a community unto itself.”

The Garveys still drive across town to attend mass at St. Mark’s. For the primary, Garvey, a dedicated Right-toLife activist, came on his own to hold a green-and-white plac ard for Ruth Dwyer. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Kevin Curley, one o f the four Republicans who represent the neighborhood’s two wards on the City Council. Curley spent the week before the election planting Bernie Rome signs up and down North Avenue. The thir tysomething son of a former alderman, Curley has lived in this neighborhood his whole life, and sees no reason to leave. “There are hundreds of me out here,” he grins, meaning young, married folks with kids whose most burning political issue is keeping a lid on taxes.

t’s striking that an area which has nearly half the city’s school children has voted against eight out of the last 11 requests for school tax increases. Municipal taxes are even more unpopular. In the pivotal 1993 election, a whopping 78 per cent of New North End voters turned down Clavelle’s pro posed 5-cent tax hike. Why does anti-tax sentiment run so strong here? “Lots of people here are grasping at the brass ring and they’re afraid it’s going to slip away from them,” suggests North End resident and Burlington Planning

Continued from page 11 Commissioner Betsey Krumholz. Wright agrees. Though a high percentage of area voters own their own homes, he points out, they’re not rich people. Rather, he says, the New North End is home to “a lot of middle-class, hard working people who go from paycheck to paycheck, and

keep a low profile. have a budget they have to watch. They’re very concerned about how their tax dollars are spent in the city.” They don’t vote down every spending issue, however. Year after year, North Avenue residents have shown their willingness to spend money on bricks-and-mortar projects, be it a new police station, an expanded school gymnasium, an improved skating rink, or library books. An even more peculiar trend in this supposed bastion of Republicanism is its long standing tradition of support ing Republicans in March’s local elections, and Democrats for state and federal offices in November. Unless you’re Bernie Sanders running for Congress, Progressives need not apply here. But

Dukakis. And though the New North End has never favored a Progressive candidate for mayor, it has supported for mer Progressive mayor Bernie Sanders in every one of his campaigns for Congress. Political observers on both sides of the equation have long puzzled over this appar ent electoral inconsistency Krumholz, a Democrat, sub mits that the neighborhood is essentially centrist. “The vot ers send Republicans to the City Council to balance the Progressives, and they send Democrats to Montpelier to balance the Republicans.” Former City Councilor Fred Osier suggests that the seasonal split has more to do with personalities than parties. “It’s not a philosophy or an

ideology,” he contends. “Up here, people vote for people^ they know.” > Watching the cozy scene outside St. Mark’s, it’s easy to believe Osier’s politics-as-popularity-contest premise. But the small-town, extended-fam ily feel of the New North End is bound to play a diminish ing role as the area ages and the population turns over. For every lifelong resident who buys a first home here, anoth er home is being bought by someone who doesn’t know the old families. Scores of young professionals with kids — many of them new to Vermont — are moving into spanking-new, up-scale homes on Appletree Point. And dozens of devoted Progressives are choosing the New North End’s green and quiet, in spite of its “South Colchester” image. But they tend to keep a low profile. One Sanders supporter, who declined to be identified, confides, “I’ve never let people up here know my real politics, and I never would, because they would probably hate me.” Another, also speaking on condition of anonymity, admits, “I’d think twice before putting a Bernie sign up in my yard. I want to get along with my neighbors.” “I’ve just learned to face it,” laughs Deb Bouton, a leftleaning Independent who moved here 14 years ago. “I live in suburbia. I bought a m inivan,! W ovet 4 0 ,1 have kids and a house in the sub urbs. It’s part of growing up. When we’re giving people directions to our house, we say, ‘When it looks like Ozzie and Harriet are ready to walk out the door, you’re there.’” ® Ruth Horowitz is an unsuc cessful Democratic City Council candidate who lives in the New North End.

ctor Rusty Dewees should be pleased as punch about Fred Tuttles recent prima ry victory. The “Real Vermont” values Tutde represents have played well in the rest of the country, and now we know the “Fred factor” works in Vermont as well. O f course 37-year-old Dewees is no Fred Tutde, but the Vermontier-than-thou per sona he has created for his oneman show, The Logger, is proving to be no less charming to audi ences on his current statewide campaign, er, tour. To say those charms are subde would be inaccurate. The eponymous principal character of this “Vermont play in two ax” is understandably rough around the edges. Dressed in worn blue jeans, shitkicker boots that have earned the name, and a sleeveless red work shirt, Dewees crackles with the nervy energy of a young man who finds more work than wisdom in country living but is serving his time in the woods as joyfully as he can. The between-act musical interludes by fiddler Don Commo create a light mood in the house, but Dewees’ logger finds joy mainly in tales of other peoples woes. The anecdotes ramble in form and content, beginning with stand-up-come•f* dy-style yarns in a self-deprecat I ing vein — like dramatic read ings from The Vermont Joke Book. The one about getting caught deer-jacking leads into the one about the wife caught in the ice storm leads into the one about the sheriff who catches the flatlander running a stop sign... Although this material is hilarious in parts — particularly the woodchuck variations on Jeff Foxworthy s “You Know You’re a Redneck W hen...” routine and, naturally, the flatlander bits — the work grows stronger as it moves beyond shtick. Ruminations that appear to be drawn from Dewees’ experiences growing up in Stowe, where he says he was stigmatized for being a Gold Towner but never reaped the benefits, add detail to a por trait of Vermont life that gets laughs for comic insight, not just in-jokes. Genuinely reflective moments, such as the Logger’s recollections on his friend Little’s relationship to his bizarrely dis abled dog, Craig, extend the show’s emotional range while challenging the all-is-sugar-onsnow Vermont ideal. At last, this “Real Vermont” routine becomes like real Vermont — a remark able achievement given that most of the second act finds the Logger and Little on vacation in New York City. While The Logger is essential ly a monologue with a few props, it remains a highly physi

cal production, powered by the springlike tension that made Dewees’ prizefighter in the film Where the Rivers Flow North, and his equally ready-to-rumble Harlen Kittredge in Stranger in the Kingdom, so arresting. Think Ethan Allen meets Robert DeNiro. In The Logger, Dewees introduces some segments with pantomime, but his sheer physi cal presence — piercing stare, tall, muscular stature, the swag ger of someone who’s walked a lot of unpaved roads — consti tutes dramatic action in its own right. This may explain Dewees’ success in landing TV commer cial and daytime drama roles — where first impressions mean rent money — since moving to

ing a distant cousin in Maine, as when he spoke admiringly of supermodel “Cindy Crafford,” which sounds disturbingly like “Bob Stafford,” and when he described the ideal temperature for an ice storm as “thatty, thatty-five.” At the briefest moments, he spoke with what sounded like a Scottish brogue. Dewees was four years writ ing The Logger, much of that work taking place en route to and from his Vermont home in Elmore and his pad in New York. While that route found him on the same path as flatlanders seeking the rarefied Vermont of ski slopes and foliage “changing early,” The Logger evinces a keen eye for the light and darkness along the way —

Then again, the man who once knew “nuthin’ from nuthin’” about acting now lists the prestigious Lee Strasberg Institute and the Actors Theatre School on his resume — right below 12 plays, seven TV appearances and 11 films. The Logger may look, sound and feel local, but its overall effect is defi nitely a professional job. - The weakest link in The Loggers chain is Dewees’ accent, which wandered a piece during a recent performance at Peoples Academy in Morrisville. Dewees speaks fluent Vermont vernacular English, respecting the silent “t” at the end of “Vermont.” But at times he seemed to be channel

ermont is known for the quality of its outdoor recreation — skiing, hik ing and mountain biking immediately come to mind. But when it comes to “disc golf,” Vermont and the rest of New England are behind the curve. W hat exactly is disc golf, you might ask? “Disc” is sim ply the generic term for what most of us know as a Frisbee. Frisbee is to flying disc what Band-Aid is to adhesive ban dage — a trademarked name that its owners would prefer not become the term of com mon usage, though it has. And “golf” is just like its main stream counterpart — a tee area from which the golfer starts, a variety of challenges along the fairway, and the final target, most often a specially designed basket to catch the disc. The number of tosses to complete each “hole” is tallied, and the lowest overall score wins.

Disc golf is very popular in other parts of the U.S. and worldwide. The Web site of the Professional Disc Golf Association (www.dgconline.com) counts Texas as the North American leader with 65 courses. Other hot spots include California (45), Iowa (31), Minnesota (30), Colorado (29), and Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin with 27 each. The two international hot spots are Sweden with 39 ’re courses and Japan close behind at 34. In contrast, Vermont has only one bona fide disc golf ^ course, in North Calais, while New Hampshire comes in with two, and Maine and Massachusetts four apiece. Burlington players Paul Antonson and Mike Martin head down to Vermont’s course every chance they get. Antonson, who grew up in western Pennsylvania, has played a variety of courses in this country and in Sweden. Martin learned in Maine, and recently competed in a tourna-

ment in Massachusetts with 60 other players. Both players wax poetic about the joys and benefits of the sport. They agree on the following: First, it’s cheap. Most disc golf courses are free, or have a minimal charge of $2-5. The discs themselves cost less than $10. No special shoes, clothing, carts, dues, member ships or snobby attitudes required. Second, disc golf is easy. Since virtually everyone can throw a Frisbee, it becomes a game of refining one’s tosses. But even the “misses” are enjoy able. Third, it’s good exercise. Walking the 18-”hole” course, tossing a disc, bending over to pick it up, all add to the fitness factor. Finally, the sport is played by swell people: the official aim according to the World Flying Disc Federation is, “to encour age and protect the spirit of fly ing disc play where as partners

It becomes a game of refining one’s tosses. But even the “m isses” are enjoyable. rather than opponents we com pete against the limits of our own abilities rather than each other.” W hat’s not to like about that? Disc golf evolved from the fascinating history of the disc itself The Frisbie Pie Company was founded in 1871. Over the years, people figured out that winging an empty Frisbie pie tin was a fun thing to do (these tins are now valuable collector’s items). Meanwhile, in Utah during the late 1940s, a guy named Walter Morrison was fascinated by the emerging interest in flying saucer sight ings. His first mass-produced disc, the “Pluto Platter,” was made out of a new material called plastic. The plot took on a new spin when two young sling-shot makers from California saw Morrison’s flying saucers. Rich Kerr and “Spud” Melin, who had named their company “W ham-O,” bought the rights from him. On a trip back East, Kerr heard about college stu dents using the “Frisbie” pie tins, and he liked the name. When “W ham-O” applied for their patent in 1959, they pho netically spelled the name “Frisbee,” and the rest is mod ern marketing history. (Ironically, the pie factory had closed the previous year.)

SEVEN DAYS

sOUnd Advice HAPPILY EVER AFTER Just because Jonatha Brooke ended her former duo The Story doesn't mean she's got fewer tales to tell. Far from it: The imagi native songwriter finds words bubbling up from the strangest places — even while taking scuba lessons. Brooke returns to Metronome for two nights, this Monday and Tuesday. Fellow singer-songwriter Richard Julian opens both nights.

LONG LIVE THE F-WORD Maceo Parker could rest on his laurels — two of them being his contributions to the music of James Brown and George Clinton — but he doesn’t. A recent release called Funk Overload proves the

stylin’ sax man is the indisputable King of Funk. Parker fires up Toast for two incendi ary nights, this Sunday and Monday.

SEVEN DAYS

the latest Rolling Stone (dated October 1), reviewer Matt Hendrickson reports on Lemonwheel, calling it “the sum mers most ambitious concert,” and calling Pilish the “most important band of the Nineties.” Whew. That’s a big load to carry. Good thing the ’90s are almost over. Not that our boys don’t deserve mega-accolades. But of course, the band that attracted 60,000 fans to a weekend funfest at a remote out post in Maine last month isn’t resting for long. Their first studio release in two years, Story o f the Ghost, is due October 27, the same day the band performs on David Lettcrni3n. Also expected this fall is The Phish Book, an authorized chronicle of a year in the life, written by Richard Gehr and the band. Phish joins Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young et al. in Farm Aid ’98 October 3 — it may be the first and only time Phishheads tune in to Country Music Television, which will broadcast the concert live. The themeoriented Phish Halloween concert — in which they perform an entire album by someone else — takes place this year in Las Vegas. Previous shows have featured The Talking Heads’ Remain in Light, The Beatles’ White Album and The Who’s Quadrophenia, and this year’s will undoubtedly be Parliament Funkadelic’s 1976 Mothership Connection. Just kidding. It’s a good suggestion, though, don’t you think? If you’re a fan I don’t need to tell you that Phish goes back to the Garden — Madison Square, that is — for New Year’s Eve. Four nights. (P.S. That RS article also quoted “Burlington native Preston Lee” — whom we know better as writer Creston Lea. Oh, well, he’s been better published else where.)

< />

t/>

Phish aren’t the only Vermont musicians get ting national ink these days. The October issue of Swing magazine — a New York-based monthly for twentysomethings — features a night at Club Toast in its last-page “Parting Shot.” Photographs taken by Burlington’s Kerrie Matties captured most prominently Missy Bly — the 25year-old “cook, musician, artist” scored the mini-interview with staff writer John Jurgensen (a former contributor to Seven Days). Mathes also snapped Bag Of PantifiS, Tom Lawson of The Pants, and James Kochalka Superstar.

COMIC TIMING I have to write about him again: Burlington’s James Kochalka is on a roll. I reported here recently that the prolific cartoonist had issued, nearly simul taneously, Tiny Bubbles, Magic Boy and Girlfriend and Quit Your Job. This fall he’s making some unprecedented bookstore pit stops with fellow cartoonists Tom Hart, Dylan Horrocks and Megan Kelso to promote their collective ouevres. Don’t miss the hometown booksigning, reading and slide show at Crow Books in Burlington this Monday, 8 p.m. SINGLE TRACKS If you want to catch Vermont’s rising country star Jamie Lee Thurston before he moves to Nashville, head on over to the Rusty Nail in Stowe Friday and the Thirsty Turtle in Waterbury this Saturday. Good luck, podner! Don’t forget to w rite...h its. . . Traveling trou badour Rik Palieri reports in from Merry Old England that he’s having a merry old tour — organized by British bluesman Gareth Hedges. Some people have all the fun . . . There may not be wardrobe royalties, but it’s a nice detail that Mike Pellegrino, frontman for the speed-ska outfit Spring Heeled Jack is sporting a Magic H at T-shirt in the band’s video for the song “Jolene,” as seen on M TV . . . Jazz fans and musi cians, take note of newly buffed-up Web pages from The Green M ountain Jazz Messenger (www.jmjazzmessenger.com) that include reviews, articles, links and lots more . . .

DESPERATELY SEEKING HAPPINESS (Forest City Records, CD) — Here’s an odd little package: Not a com pilation, more a collaboration, of Vermont artists from dif ferent bands, some of whom have actually departed the state. Tom Smith — guitarist with Pure Pressure and other local units — produced Desperately Seeking Happiness, and notes that the project grew out of a songwriters’ group. Part pop, part jazz, all mellow, this is an original collection of songs from different writers that somehow manages to sound like a band. The light title track — sparkling with Mark Vangulden’s vibes like many others here — is followed by a laid-back reggae-lite con fection “UWho-R-U,” with the strong and lovely soprano of Pamela Murphy (formerly of The Flames) out front. Murphy, in fact, gives life to every song she graces — the guys are not as strong in the vocal department. Chris Templeton gives the tune an unexpected dimension with pedal steel. Eric Hoh (formerly of Zero Gravity and The Funkelberries) contributes bass, while former Cloud People drummer Marcus Beninson keeps time. While some of these cuts are forgettable melodically — in fact they all cover fairly simi lar sonic terrain — the overall effect is a gentle, wellplayed and crisply produced excursion. There are some especially nice instrumental touches: Smith’s acoustic gui tar plucking on “Sleeperman,” guest accordion by Tom Cleary on “Home,” the vibes and pedal steel interplay on “Brainwashed.” While Vangulden shines more on vibes than singing, his no-nonsense, Leonard Cohenesque voice works on the up-tempo “Dancin’ Like Shiva.” I could do without the cheesy synth drum programming, though — too bad Beninson wasn’t around for this one to give it more weight. The closer is a dreamy, rainy-night smoothie called “Medulla Oblongata,” though lyrically an oddball paean to a part of the brain. Fans of vibish jazz-pop oughta give this one a spin, but if mosh material is your prefer ence... don’t go there. —

P .P .

YANKEE POT ROAST, YANKEE POT ROAST (self-released CD) — A staple in the Nectar’s rotation, Yankee Pot Roast serves up original (and some cover) rock that borrows dif ferent feels — folk, groove, reggae, ska, jazz — as it suits them. The tunes favor galloping or loping tempos and grooving more than hard-rocking, and a no-frills produc tion (from Low Tech Studios) keeps things fairly stark. The band benefits from three song writers — acoustic gui tarist Donna Huether, gui tarist Bones Blankenship and drummer Robin Way, and among them Huether’s sassy vocals are the strongest. Apparently the historian of the group, Blankenship pens era-specific novelties, such as a funny B-52s take-off, “Ancient Greeks,” and a bongodriven “Rousseau Jungle” — about the artist. Guitarist Robert Root’s accordion and banjo provide welcome layers of sound, and ought to be used a lot more, in my opinion. A few of the songs suffer from passages of mid-tempo muddle — that is, uninspired instrumental sections — and the occasional overwrought lyric (e.g., the heavyhanded “Acid Rain”). YPR seem to like lite-funkative fare, but, at least in this collection, they show the most promise

PraxAx by Twanger™ on folk-rockish songs — such as the banjo-ska of Dylans “Knockin’ on Heavens Door,” Blankenship’s “Chicken Pluckin’ Day” and Huether’s rollicking closer, “Bird at My Window.” Especially on the last, all the band’s talents coalesce in one solid direction. Maybe this roast is afraid to burn, but I’d say it could use a little more heat. — P.P.

THE D. JARVIS BAND, DAVEMANIA (self-released EP CD) — The inimitable Dave Jarvis optimistically calls this three-song release Davemania (the Beatlemania cover photo makes the point), with liner notes suggesting “a dive into the realm of Dave’s twisted psyche.” In fact, regardless of the fantastic costumery and antics of his past live shows, this trio of tunes reveals Jarvis as an unabashed popster.

What’s Sound Advice? Don’t put beans up your nose? Don’t pee in the dark? No, Vermont’s weekly read on what’s hot and what’s not in Vermont m usic. on lead guitar, is reminis cent of the late ’60s Brit band Freddie and the Dreamers. “Sunflower” is slower and more thought ful and, to my mind, the most promising material on the disc. Dan Mazur’s organ fills in the spaces quite nicely, while Jason Leavitt hangs tough on bass. “Green Apple Girl” — previously recorded on Big Heavy World’s Pop Pie — is as hopelessly infec tious as it is silly (“jelly bean world?”). Jarvis pos sesses a compelling, unpol ished popster voice, and delivers his unique lyrics with the aplomb of, say, They Might Be Giants. Make some mania this Wednesday at Toast, where The D. Jarvis Band play with The High Flying Gargoyles and Granian, or Monday at Higher Ground, with Genghis Angus and Cranial Perch. — P.P.

HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE Director John Dahl takes h is Hustler in this saga of twentysomething poker ninjas.

ROUNDERS**** Martin ( The Color o f Money) Scorsese could take a lesson from director John Dahl. If you want to make a movie that deserves to be men tioned in the same breath as The Hustler, this is the way to go. For one thing, Dahl’s gleefully seedy saga of twentysomething poker ninjas vir tually mirrors the storyline of the 1961 poolhall classic: Brash rising star plays the master early on in the film and loses big. The final act reunites them for round two and, in between, the viewer is afforded a glimpse into the life of a profession al player — the easy sucker games and the con tests against other pros, the toll the compulsion takes on relationships and, always, the human zoo of prostitutes, goons and con men on the periphery. In an age when every new movie seems to steal from a previous one, the most we can hope for is precisely what we have here: a really good rip-off of a truly great film. Matt (Good W ill Hunting, The Rainmaker) is both a genius and a student of the law this time,

FILM S RUN FRIDAY.

a kind of cardplaying Rain Man with an uncan ny ability to count cards and read people. When we first meet him, he’s struggling to change his gambling ways and focus on law school. He’s got a nice apartment with fel low law student Gretchen Mol and an awful job dri ving a delivery truck. One day his old partner in crime, played colorfully by Edward Norton, gets released from prison and learns that his gambling debts have been accruing cue from The interest while he’s been away, and that he has very little time to come up with a great deal of money or he’ll be going away for good. Naturally, that forces Damon to choose between keeping his promise to his girlfriend and following his bliss back into the world of smoke-filled rooms and big-time cards. The choice may be an easy one, but the time the two have in their attempt to amass sufficient win nings is anything but a breeze. As he did with the wonderful Last Seduction, Dahl demonstrates a rare flair for the low-rent hustler milieu. Damon’s performance benefits from a winning mix of boyishness and gutter bravado, while the work done here by John Malkovich, in the role of a Russian who runs a squalid but high-rolling card club, is a delicious, totally overdrive bit of scenery-chewing. ' ' Odds are the film won’t prove nearly as durable as its model; nonetheless, if you’re in the mood for something meatier and darker than we’ve seen at the movies in some months, Rounders is a safer than average bet.

Like Rashomon, many of Kurosawas pictures are jidaigeki, period films, rich in the details of Japanese history and culture. And as critics within Japan at the time of Rashomons release were quick to suggest, exoticism was a large part of such films’ appeal. For boomer generation males, in particular, the recently defeated Eastern war rior was an object of endless fascination, and samurai films like Kurosawas The Seven Samurai, Yojimbo and Sanjuro offered particularly compelling examples. When some of these men, in turn, went on to become filmmakers,

Kurosawas influence was everywhere apparent, from George Lucas’ Star Wars — modeled, in part, after Kurosawas 1958 The Hidden Fortress — to Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. In interesting ways, Kurosawas breakthrough can be traced not only to the later success of Ninja Turtles, Jackie Chan, Japanese anime and Blade, but a good portion of our ongoing interest in all things Eastern, from spiritual traditions to martial arts. In Kurosawa’s case, however, the influence runs in the other direction as well, and in his own country his films have been criticized for being overly Western. In form and feeling, Kurosawa’s films often seem to have as much in common with Western idioms as with Japanese dramatic traditions like Kabuki and Noh. His samurai films, for example, make explicit the implicit par allels between the traditional Japanese chambara (swordfight film) and the Western, and it’s not surprising that Rashomon, Seven Samurai and Yojimbo were all later remade as Westerns in Hollywood and Italy. Kurosawa took for his sources not only Shakespeare ( Throne o f Blood, Ran), but Dostoevsky ( The Idiot), Gorky ( The Lower Depths) and Ed McBain (High and Low). He reckoned that among his strongest influences were D.W. Griffith, John Ford, Howard Hawks, George Stevens, Frank Capra, William Wyler and Antonioni. This is not to suggest that

Kurosawa is somehow not Japanese, but only that he is Japanese in a very modern sense, and that points the way to Japan’s post-war opening. In fact, Kurosawa himself came from samurai stock — his father was one of the last mili tary educators. Donald Richie has speculated on the ways his personality, as well as that of his films, manifest the princi ples of bushido. Similarly, the universal concerns of Kurosawa’s films of social con sciousness — Record o f a Living Being, Drunken Angel, The Bad Sleep Well, High and Low— are located in the par ticular history and politics of Japan in the post-war era. Like the American direc tors of the studio era he admired, Kurosawa was able to create works of depth and per sonality within the constraints of a highly commercial enter prise. He never sacrificed the viewer on the throne of his artistry, and Steven Spielberg must have had something of this sort in mind when he eulogized Kurosawa as a “pic torial Shakespeare.” Certainly, there’s something for every kind of viewer in a Kurosawa film, and certainly, their visual facility is comparable to Shakespeare’s facility with words. His profound and unshakeable humanism, like wise, seems to connect him with all past greatness. Kurosawa was master of the quintessential 20th-century art form. But his art was of an ancient and timeless order. Videos courtesy o f Waterfront Video in Burlington.

Disc golf itself started in the mid-1970s. The first tour naments were in the early ’80s, and the number of play ers and courses has dramati cally increased since then. In Vermont, the course owned and maintained by Paul Olander on his land in North Calais is the local Mecca. Pauls course is described by the PDGA Directory as a “beautiful backwoods course on private property...tight fairways and tricky pin place ments require finesse.” This year Stowe Mountain Resort has stuck its corporate toe in the disc golf waters with two courses, one at the Cliff House area at the top of the Gondola, another on Spruce Peak. Either can be accessed by hiking up or by the Alpine Slide chair. According to some local play ers, the Stowe courses do not

have regulation “pole hole” baskets, and both require players to always toss downhill, which is unusual. While its possible to play a complete course with only one disc, seasoned veterans expand their choices to include “drivers,” mid-range discs and “putters.” One com pany’s Web site lists 24 mod els of golf discs. Certain types are called “overstable,” mean ing they curve to the left at the end of their flight; an “understable” disc fades to the right, for a right-handed thrower. Techniques vary almost as much as players personalities. Some folks have a major wind-up for achieving maxi mum distance when tossing a driver from the tee, while for others the footwork is mini mal. Once on the fairway, the arm motion tends to be the same, with the selection of discs determining the distance and direction. “Rollers,” or

discs that roll on their edges u once they hirfhe ground, are * legal, and in fact some players try to fling their discs so that they roll for extra distance. Until the Burlington area gets its own Frisbee links, players will have to do that, too — although a closer course seems inevitable. The “pole hole” baskets cost $300 to $350 each, but in many areas local businesses sponsor a hole, getting in return a sign at the tee. And, considering the natural buzz that comes with playing, surely some of that anti-drug money could be put to use. Wouldn’t teens, boomers and grandparents all playing disc golf promote family values better than a thousand “Just Say No” posters? ® For more information, check out www.discgolf.com.

September 16.1998

SEVEN DAYS , (>• >• >»4 * 4V

EJELOl 17ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Peter Brook, a stage and film direc tor who’s managed to win both crit ical and popular success, was born on the first day of spring in 1925. In his recent book, Threads o f Time: Recollections, he describes the piv otal issue he’s struggled with all his adult life: “when to cling to a con viction and when to see through it and let go.” Maybe this hasn’t been your focus before, Aries, and maybe it won’t be later, but it should be for the next couple weeks. As invig orating as your idealism can be, the moment is ripe to decide whether or not it’s serving you well now.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Too bad the National Hollerin’ Contest at Spiveys Corner, N orth Carolina, isn’t being held this week, because you’d have an excellent chance of winning. It’s one of those times in your astrological cycle when you’re likely to be weaving back and forth across the fine line between agony and ecstasy — and everyone knows it’s exactly that state o f m ind which produces the most ardent and poignant hollers. Singing the blues will be another activity at which you’ll excel this week, Taurus. I can’t imagine any one being able to resist you as you wail your tales of how good it hurts.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): I ask that wherever you are you stand up and bow your head. Now tickle your ribs with your right hand. Take your left hand and pat your self tenderly on the head. Now close one eye, lift your left leg, spin in circles clockwise and chant the following prayer: “Dear Goddess, please make it immoral, illegal, irrelevant, unpatriotic, and totally tasteless for me to be in love with anyone or anything that’s no good for me. Forevermore. Amen. Oh, and one other thing, Goddess. Please don’t wait more than two

weeks to send me someone or something that gives me goose bumps and hot flashes for all the right reasons. Amen and awomen.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Many Cancerians I’ve known, including myself, have never really felt at home in the world. Besieged by a constant onslaught of restless emotions, we always imagine that the sweet spot we long for is locat ed elsewhere or elsewhen: in some idealized past, perhaps, or in a vague future when all the acces sories of happiness will finally be in place. Well, I’ve got news for you, my fellow Crabs: H ome is right here; home is right now. Come in from your eternal exile and take a stand exactly where you are. Love the ones you’re with, not the fantasies that tempt you to think that life is better someplace far away.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): In her song “#1 Crush,” Shirley Manson o f the band Garbage croons, “I would sell my soul for something pure and true.” This strong and tal ented Leo woman is saying, in other words, that she’s willing to despoil her integrity in order to dwell in the presence of integrity. Sound familiar? I fear that many of you Leos will soon be tempted to engage in this kind of melodramat ic self-sabotage. The fact is that you can find something pure and true, but only by being an absolutely righteous and honorable power house yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Bust your beautiful butt to secure and stabilize the unexpected gains you’ve made recendy. If your body has been mysteriously healthy (as I expect it has), figure out what you’ve been doing right and then

coming weeks’ whirlwinds than to pack your schedule with psy chotherapy and poems.

do it even harder. If surprising blessings have been falling in front of you (as I trust they have), ana lyze how your attitude has subtly improved in such a way as to attract those gifts. And if revela tions about the nature of your genius have been making them selves available (as I believe they have), take steps to help them bloom.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Which paradise will it be, Sagittarius? You’ll most likely slip into one kind or another dur ing the next few weeks, and where you end up may well depend on how specifically you visualize what you want. Will your Shangri-la of choice be a place where the rivers run with cold beer and money grows on trees and there’s a bronze statue of you in every park? O r would you prefer a realm where you feel the breath of God in your own lungs and most everyone sees and responds to your idiosyncratic beauty? Create a crisp, radiant pic ture in your mind today.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is how spells are broken: by taking a spontaneous pilgrimage to a place no one else but you regards as holy; by spinning in circles until you fall down dizzy as you did when you were a child; by calling up a long-lost friend who always specialized in irritating and inspir ing you; by giving away a small treasure to a person who’s poor or miserable; and by going outside at night and spitting in the direction of the heavenly body that’s respon sible for the star-crossed fate you want to escape.

CAPRICORN

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Picasso believed that artists are the politicians of the future. Including myself in that category, I propose two improvements to take effect by December 24, 2012. The first: In addition to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, every citi zen shall have the right to afford able weekly consultations with a good shrink. Secondly, I’d like to enforce ex-Poet Laureate Joseph Brodsky’s suggestion that “[poetry] books should be brought to the doorstep like electricity: They should be considered utilities, and their cost should be appropriately minimal.” To be honest, I hope you Scorpios don’t wait 14 years for the new laws to kick in. In fact, there’s no better way to prepare for the

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): In the coming weeks, there’s an excellent chance you’ll win a Nobel Prize, climb M ount Everest, become CEO of a major Fortune 500 company, and — best of all — be offered a leading role in a prime-time TV sitcom. If for some reason some of those things don’t come to pass, it may mean you’re not a very highly evolved Capricorn. Even in that case, how ever, the odds are still good that you’ll accomplish feats that have always been impossible till now. Your hyper-critical instincts may mature and soften, for instance, allowing you to wield them with more effectiveness. Your ambitions may grow less selfish and more inclusive, giving them a far greater chance of wildly succeeding.

hile back, no one knew low to treat me at first, on, though, a few uaintances who’d always en put off by my exces sively good mental health began to feel closer to me than they had before. One woman even confessed she liked me better when I was depressed. This opened my eyes to how oppressive my perfectionism could be. I swore that when I recovered my sanity, I would help people feel more comfortable around me by purposely acting imperfect on a regular basis. I also vowed I would tell this story to Aquarians every year in September.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Once every 12 years, the Cosmic Santa Claus spends 12 months in your sign. Disguised as the planet Jupiter, this cheerful, robust god does everything in his power to wipe the pinched expressions off your face. If you don’t cooperate with his plot to expand your fron tiers, he’ll find a more forceful way to loosen your inhibitions. The last visit of Jupiter to Pisces came in 1986. The current one began in February of 1998 and stretches till next February. How well have you responded so far? This week is prime time to rededicate yourself. Jupiter will be high and bright in the sky all night long, ready to receive your promises.
