N E C I ' S FREE LABOR UNFAIR Kount on Kevin Kelley and Seven Days ["What's Eating Church Street?" September 3] to come through in defense of big business. (Seven Days wants to be like the old Vanguard. But I remember a supportive Vanguard article

many years ago about the troubles of the old Cityside restaurant — which once served great food just across from the new behemoth [NECI]. That son

of piece never appears in Seven Days.)

We're told big bookstores aren't a threat — they actually help little bookstores! Tell that to the late, great Shakespeare & Co., formerly at Broadway and 81st in Manhattan, and two blocks south of a giant, cute Barnes & Noble — which, along with the other huge bookstore chains, are increasingly determining what we can rea d- Tell that to Chassman & Bern and the other bookstores threatened with extinction but blown off with gossip by the press. So the relatively enormous New England Culinary Institute opens in Burlington to newspaper oohs and ahhs. Plenty of business for everyone, it is rationalized. Well, no, there is a finite number of people eating out on any given night. Even in food's mecca, New York City, established eateries are driven out daily. But NECI, using a labor base that essentially pays the company to allow them to work — who can compete

that's it. You'll read or eat what you're permitted to get. — Jerry Weinberg Burlington Jerry Weinberg is the owner of Five Spice Cafe in Burlington ART H O P O R I G I N S I G N O R E D Your article on the South End Art Hop ["Hopportunity Knocks," September 3] requires some clarification. The original event was conceived by local activist and artist Melanie Putz, based on a similar event in her hometown of Columbus, Ohio, and was organized by her with the help of Jon Roberts and other volunteers in 1993. The Pine Street Arts and Business Association was not involved in any way with this event. That first Art Hop was highly successful, with about 30 locations and 45 artists involved. It was a purely volunteer effort, with no fees for the artists' participation. The budget was less than $100, collected from donations by a few of the participants. It is simply is not true that 1997 is "the first year the Art Hop is managing without benefit of federal funds." It was the success of this grassroots community event that attracted the interest of the Pine Street Arts and Business Association, which then took over organization of the second Art Hop in 1994 without Melanie's knowledge or approval, specifically disregarding her intention to continue as the organizer. The PSABA has produced them ever since. While it has been nice to see the South End Art Hop continue as an annual event, it is unfortunate and disturbing that the current organizers have consistently failed to acknowledge the event's origin and founder, even when specifically talking about its history. The public has, apparently deliberately, been left with the incorrect impression that the PSABA conceived and originated the Art Hop. The PSABA owes the original organizers an acknowledgment and apology. — Erik Brown Burlington HARSH MISTRESS After reading the ongoing story of the gentleman from VPR who was convicted of child molestation, I've had a hard time sorting out my feelings of disgust and hatred. I don't know all the particulars of this story, and I'm not sure my heart could handle the load. To paraphrase a quote from Heinlein, I can only come to the conclusion that the "truth is a harsh mistress." I can only rely on that worn-out old adage, there is a karma to this world. I firmly believe that one man is now paying the toll. Peter Freyne deserves some hugs and high-fives for having the balls to bring this story to light...

In a city where the average restaurant size is probably around 60, NECI comes in seating hundreds. Am I whining out of fear? Not yet, but every single And, hey, Phish boys, do a show for moms and kids restaurant person I meet speaks angrily of NECI. The under 12. No testosterone allowed. Maybe we could get argument that cooking schools shouldn't compete with VPR to simulcast it. local restaurants (after all, they are presumably turning out — David Kuusela graduates to find jobs in restaurants) is a valid one. Burlington And I'm not sniveling about competition. My nearest real competitor is the wonderful new Smokejack's, at Main VPR S H O U L D BE ACCOUNTABLE and Church, who I send people to in droves. But look at A few years ago, I worked in an environment that poor old Alfredo's closing at roughly the same minute as NECI moved in. Causal relationship?

You think you have total command of the world s knowledge. Then something like this comes in and you realize: I have barely scratched the freaking surface. But hey, that's why we've got telephones. We called up W. F. Young, Inc., maker of Absorbine Jr., and asked what the deal was with Absorbine Sr. The following amazing tale emerged. The Absorbine family of health-care products was the brainchild of Wilbur Fenelon Young of Connecticut. In 1892, after eight years selling pianos, he decided to go into the business of making liniment. You may think: Here's a guy who moved a few too many pianos. But Young didn't intend the liniment for himself. His first product was meant for horses. It was called Absorbine Veterinary Liniment — Absorbine Sr. to you. The other topical pain remedies of the day were harsh or blistering, the prevailing medical theory apparently being that it couldn't be any good for you unless it felt bad. Youngs revolutionary concept: a pain reliever that relieves pain! He mixed up the first batch of herbs and essential oils in a tub in his farmhouse kitchen. Absorbine "would help keep a horse from going lame while gently reducing the swelling and stiffness," the company says today. It caught on with farmers, some of whom were soon struck with the thought: If it works on horses, why not me? Sure enough, they found if they rubbed the stuff on their own aching muscles, it would ease pain and reduce swelling and discomfort. Eventually Young heard about this, and in 1903 he

iLOSING TOUCH?

| Our governor, Howard B. Dean, is on the I road again this week. And some people are g starting to say Vermont's governor needs to 8 spend more time in Vermont. 1 He was in Washington, D.C., Tuesday to | attend an executive meeting of the National i Governors Association. Then he's off to South ^ Carolina in his quest to get a 8 Democrat elected governor there | in 1998. That duty falls under | the auspices of his role as the I head honcho of the Democratic ® Governors Association. Two S weeks ago he impersonated a | twister slicing through Illinois, | Iowa and Alabama. He even I threw in a speech in New Hampshire and a trip to North 1 Carolina to pick up an award I from a major pharmaceutical I company. Ah, yes, life in the fast lane. S But all that traveling is starting 1 to take its toll. At one point last | week, it appeared Vermont was 3 the state Ho-Ho knew the least about. The scene was at Burlington's Radisson Hotel. The event — the annual meeting of Associated Industries of Vermont (AIV), the association that represents Vermont manufacturers. Ho-Ho gave the luncheon talk on electric restructuring — the brave new world! After his remarks the Gov took questions and, while electric restructuring is a big concern for the business community, property tax reform, a.k.a Act 60, is the steaming pot on today's front burner. Ho-Ho was asked by Rene LaBerge, president of Personnel Department Inc., if the Dean administration plans on collecting the new statewide property tax by using a withholding tax that employers will have to deduct from workers' paychecks. The Gov scrunched up his face in disbelief. Never heard of such a thing, he said. Has no plans to do such a thing, he said, and he noted what a mess it would be, since workers with different household incomes and different addresses will have different property tax rates. What a relief, right? Wrong. You see, what Dean obviously did not know, but several members of the audience did, was that just two days earlier Ho-Ho's brand-new deputy tax commissioner, Sean Campbell, told the Legislative Oversight Committee on Education Reform that withholding Vermonters property taxes from their paychecks was the way to go. Yep. A classic case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing. Campbell even put it in writing in a memo to the committee. And these days, when Sean Campbell talks, he speaks for the Governor of Vermont. 1 "While both a voluntary and a non-voluntary „ [mandatory] system of withholding for the i statewide tax and the local share tax present prob1 lems for the tax department," wrote Campbell, | "we strongly feel that required withholding is necI essary to assure the integrity of the Education J Trust Fund as well as the General Fund." I The plan presents a plateful of headaches for | employers. "Every town has a different tax base," j notes LaBerge. "We're going to have to have a I different tax package in the computer system for ® every single town." Headache City! Under Act 160, says LaBerge, Vermont employers are in for | "the rudest awakening they've ever seen." | And while Campbell acknowledges the « "maze of intricacies" involved in using the with• holding tax to pay property taxes he — as the mm mm mm

September

public policy voice of the Dean administration insists that's the only way to go. I "We believe," wrote Commissioner I Campbell, " [a withholding system] must be I established and required along with requiring I those who submit quarterly to also pay their education taxes simultaneously." I Great news, eh? I Unfortunately, Ho-Ho never got to see his deputy tax commissioner's memo. When he was I chair of the House Appropria- I tions Committee, Campbell I never kept his boss, Speaker I Michael Obuchowski, in the dark. Maybe it still hasn't sunk I in that he's got a new boss now, I and it sure as hell ain't Obie. 1 It was an embarrassing moment Thursday. Ho-Ho did- I n't have a clue. The only expla- I nation is that Vermont's Gov I has been busy on important I matters elsewhere — like in North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, California, Illinois, New Hampshire and Iowa. That may result in a pay-off for Ho-Ho down the line, but what ^ ^ ^ ^ about the present? What about ^ ^ ^ ^ Vermont? • • • Howard Dean "doesn't I M I know what's going on," says I W r - f a L LaBerge. "He's leaving us when we need him the most." Ho-Ho, come home? I Salmon Run — The ABB crowd — Anybody But Bernie — has 1 been keeping their fingers crossed that former governor, ex- g UVM prez and board chairman of Green Mountain Power Tom Salmon will jump into Vermont's 1998 congressional race against Bernie I Sanders. The thinking is, a big fish like Salmon | would carry Republican and Democratic votes quite handily. But Salmon sure isn't sounding like he's up for a battle with Ol' Bernardo. He tells Inside Track he has no timetable for getting back into politics. Should he decide to make the run, he says, "I'll get in whole-hog." At the moment, the ABB crowd should start looking for their bacon elsewhere. Besides, wouldn't Bernie have a blast running against the Chairman of the Board of GMP — the utility that wants a whopping 16.7 percent rate hike because they blew it with Hydro-Quebec back in 1991? Media Notes — WVMT boss Paul Goldman says Turk Stevens has been chosen as the new play-by-play announcer for UVM hockey and basketball, replacing George Commo. Unlike Turk Stevens, George Commo is actually George | Commo. "Turk Stevens" is a made-up name the dude uses on-air. That's cool, but Goldman couldn't recall Turk's real name when we spoke with him Tuesday. George, as everyone knows, jumped to Champ and The Pulse and plans to broadcast St. Michael's games this winter. Goldman says George had a non-compete clause in his contract. He says the lawyers will take care i of it. George says they can try, but "we're con| vinced they don't have a leg to stand on." W V M T is also looking for a new color man for UVM hockey, reports Goldman. Pat Thornton won't be back this year. Commo says § Thornton may team up with him on some St. | Mike's games. Crossfire Calls! — Somebody down at C N N reads Inside Track. After mentioning last week I that Bernie Sanders has never been invited to | appear on the nation's premier nightly political | shouting match, the phone rang at Sanders' office Friday afternoon. "Crossfire" wanted him ^ on that very night to bat around the issue of rich people and charity — a Sanders' favorite. | Unfortunately, Ol' Bernardo had a prior com- « mitment he couldn't break. At least now they know his number. (Z)

nirvana, as has been suggested by several prominent national publications in the past few years. Now, finally, comes an article with a different view of the Queen City that doesn't lend itself to marketing purposes. "Burlington is a latte town," David Brooks wrote in a sneering six-page cover story two weeks ago for the conservative Weekly Standard. He defines the term as upscale liberal outposts of high-brow lefties who have sold out their radical values for crunchy capitalism and expensive coffee.

"One thing I love is, she's essentially catalogued her household," says Cohen. "She's got a collection of'50s furniture that she's lived with since then." Cohen also points to Carlisle's crowded walls, the craft manuals and dozens of books, documents and archives crammed into shelves and closets. She recalls with a smile the time years ago that Carlisle purchased some tiny Chinese slippers — the kind used for binding feet, similar to some in the Fleming's collection — and ended up "on the mailing list for some bondage catalogue." She probably filed that document away, too. "As she catalogued the Shelburne collection, she learned about it and really became an expert on a wide variety of collectibles," continues Cohen. "She's become a community asset." So have her famous scrapbooks. "I never kept these for anything other than my own fun," Carlisle insists, yet future historians will appreciate the neatly arranged newspaper clippings, cards, invitations, photos and other memorabilia of her own, her family's, the museum's and the community's doings Continued

RY P O P P i r IES. ZOOT RIOT (Mojo,

A Night Out

CD) — The only thing more fun than a barrel full of monkeys is Cherry Poppin' Daddies, which are, like the title track of this collection (four new songs, 10 previously v m released on Space Age Bachelor Pad Records) suggests, a "Zoot Suit Riot." With uptempo energy and the retro swing of a bobby-soxer — not to mention a whole lotta brass— the Daddies are, in short, hepcats for the '90s. The smooth & sexy Steve Perry, who also wrote and produced this big-band blast, leads widh a croon, hamming it up lounge-style on "Come Back to Me" and inciting jitterbuggin' jumps on just about in historic downtown Stflbans everything. Like ska-flavored bands such as The Toasters, the Daddies favor non-stop action this CD could leave your aerobics class drooping — ! 1 though slinkier fare like "Pink Elephants," the honkey-tonkish wkerethemjiYietirejHtljHttfS® ^ "Cherry Poppin Daddy Strut" and Cab Calloway send-up, "Shake Your Lovemaker," allow you to catch your breath, sort of. The lyrics contain a curious amount of alcohol-related imagery, but with music this seductive, who cares about parts of speech? Get ready to swing, guys and dolls: Cherry Poppin* Daddies shake their stuff this Friday at Toast. The Hi Hats open.

(Alcazar Productions, CD) — His voice sets Dana Robinson apart in the world of the folky singer-songwriter; a kind of steadfast warble, a sturdy willo'-the-wispiness. Its hard to explain the oxymoronic qualities that add up to Robinsons gentle, Romantic spirit, as if he Midnight Salvage were a shy sylvan creature forced to live as a man, and the only way to deal is to sing. His own contemporary compositions, thoroughly rooted in a "backwoods" Southern tradition,fitcomfortably with the melancholy standard, "Shady Grove" — one of only two nonoriginals among the 11 here. Robinson supplements his lithe guitar, mandolin and banjo plucking with a variety of guests: Lui Collins on harmonies and guitar; Sinclair on accordion, Rani Arbo on fiddle, Adam Rothburg on Keith Leverault on <irum^: All acoustic coffeehouse fait, only tg Pool" gets full instrumentation — Sinclair's accordion it an almost-zydeco feel — and is the closest to pop. Robinson n raises his voice, though, never gets allfiredup or even too cheery (^instrumental "Edge of the Woods" is most lighthearted); for the most part his tunes are lovely lullabies, soothing to the restive mind — especially the appropriately titled "Heaven." By the end you are pleasantly pacified or asleep; either way, its not a bad thing. For all his melodic mesmerism, I wouldn't mind hearing Robinson dig a little deeper into his psyche, or wrestle his roots into the full glare now and again. Still, this seif-produced disc, his first on Vermont's Alcazar, is a quiet gem. Robin^f§||fanra October 11 at the Burlington Coffeehouse.

t the edge of town, a massive gargoyle squats on a wooden pedestal by the side of the road. Its somber gaze beckons to travelers, silently urging them to waylay their journeys. Just beyond the talisman stands a barn, guarded by rigid figures, both angelic and grotesque. No, this is not the opening of a haunted autumn tale, but instead the setting for a gallery and studio that is unique to Vermont. The road is Route 100, the town is Waitsfield, and the refurbished barn marked by vigilant statues is the Gargoyle Shop. Inside, partners Joseph Bruno and Notburga "Burgi" von Trapp serve as hosts to hundreds of sculptures, statuettes and other images. The Gargoyle Shop in its present form has been open since February. It's an expanded

incarnation of the business Bruno opened three years ago on Bridge Street, in the center of Waitsfield. The former shop, Irving Place, was named after a home for young women in New York, which was adorned with gargoyles meant to ward off evil. "I used to sell gargoyles and angels at flea markets. My stuff was just spread out on a table," says Bruno. "I started the business because I saw a need for it. There's no other place like this." Though gargoyles have given the shop their namesake, these facets of medieval architecture — which originally served benignly as waterspouts — are only a small representation of its offerings. Snowy white plaster angels descend from the ceiling. Busts bearing the expressions of eternal human drama demand sympathy. Winged cherubs perch on shelves in innocent meditation. Every species of sprite, fairy, golem and gnome seems to be

"We call plaster the peoples marble," says von Trapp. "This way people can own a beautiful reproduction of an original piece that they would never be able to afford." A modest cafe offers coffee or espresso drinks as well as warmth and welcome. Five fistsized faces, pinched and furrowed, peer down on the wooden bar and cushioned stone stools of the cafe. "They came from a mansion down in Rhode Island," Bruno says, pointing to the faces mounted on a large beam. "They put them in the molding of the childrens' rooms so they could lie in bed and look up at them." Still, not everything in the Gargoyle Shop seems to have orphaned itself from some chapter of the Renaissance. Brilliant hand-blown glass "gazing balls" — suitable for a huge Christmas tree — dangle from the ceiling, and vases all over

It's one more threat to the working landscape, as well as to the rural culture that makes Vermont disnnctive. Not long ago, an annual average of one million bushels was being plucked from Vermont apple trees. The harvest has now slumped to around 850,000 bushels, and the out look for the coming years is not too encouraging. Only about 100 commercial orchards are left in Vermont, half of them in the

And many consumers do choose the taste of Macs — when they're available. "Macintosh is a fabulous apple," says Michael Johnston, owner of Yankee Kingdom Orchard in Addison, "but it bruises more readily than some of the varieties we're competing against. A number of supermarkets won't stock Macs for that reason." Most shoppers like their fruit to be cosmetically pure. And factory-style apple operations — whether in Chile, South Africa, New Zealand or Washington — are able to meet that standard the world over, thanks to advanced shipping and storage techniques.

"That's the most discouraging aspect of all," says Johnston, a former board member of the Shoreham Cooperative, the largest apple wholesaler in the state. "There's really no one big thing that could be done to correct the situation." State agricultural officials, along with progressive and/or desperate growers, are trying a series of little things that ght make a difference. One obvious possibility is •

kins, squash, ornamental corn, greenhouse yields, and prepared foods at his cider mill on Dorset Street in South Turlington. "It's doing quite well," he says of the 45-yearold business. But Chittenden las cut back on his own apple crop so sharply that he now c depends almost entirely on c cother growers to supply the tonnage for his still-profitable t cider-pressing operation. Several orchards have meanwhile started to raise varieties other than Macintosh. 3ut the move to lessen reliance on this staple has been too slow, in the opinion of some experts.

Vermont. If they did, they wouldn't have gone info if." - Champlain Valley apple grower Vermont, frustrates even the most determined and sophisticated attempts to avoid application of chemical agents. Nick Cowles, owner of Shelburne Orchards, has been trying for several years to use only natural methods of fertilization and pest control. About 20 percent of his crop does meet organic standards, but the proportion has been decreasing. Besides being expensive to raise, organic apples usually develop blemishes that prevent them from being labeled as "fancy," Cowles explains. He

"You can go into a supermarket in parts of the Northeast and find no apples from New England," notes Betsy Lydon, program director for Mothers and Others. "At the same time, you might find 60 to 80 regional varieties at a farmers' market in an urban area. People are seriously interested in supporting local orchards — if they're given the information and the chance to do so, as the burgeoning success of those farmers' markets demonstrates." Mothers and Others has just launched a television and radio advertising blitz on the theme "Bring Good Farming Home." The group promotes the use of integrated pest management and other relatively Continued

tries to sell those with "superficial" imperfections, but runs into resistance on the part of supermarkets and many shoppers. Shelburne Orchards has thus had to market most of its apples as "ecological" — a somewhat nebulous term that is intended to signify Cowles' sparing use of chemical sprays. A group of well-connected eco-farming advocates is simultaneously striving to expand mass-marketing opportunities for apple growers throughout the Northeast. Mothers and Others, a New York-based organization that led the campaign against Alar several years ago, is currently conducting a "Core Values" barnstorming tour through the region with the aim of educating consumers and supermarket managers about the advantages of buying locally raised apples.

BRITISH INN-VASION

Ruth

Horowi t z

hris Francis knows a good opportunity when he sees one. The co-proprietor of Stowe's Ye Olde England Inne, and this year's Vermont Lodging and Restaurant Association Innkeeper of the Year, relates the time he found himself in the middle of an airplane hijacking and ended up with a job offer. At the time, Francis was working in Oman as a British mercenary guarding the Straits of Hormuz. The friend he'd signed up with had been killed, but Francis, who launched his military career as a medic in the J British Royal Navy, survived to collect his bounty. But as he was flying to Amman, Jordan, his plane was hijacked. While the plane sat on the tarmac at the Damascus airport, the soldier-for-hire chatted with his seat-mate, a man involved in 9 U.S. arms sales. By the end of the ordeal, Francis had a new job caring for the support personnel who were helping Middle Eastern client nations maintain and use their shiny new American weapons. That was in 1978. Francis encountered another unexpected — though less dramatic — opportunity in 1983. He and his wife, Lyn, who'd been working as a midwife, decided it was time to leave the Middle East. They hoped to use their Saudi earnings to open an allied health business in their native United Kingdom. But first they stopped off in Stowe "whilst on vacation," as the Inne's brochure puts it. "We'd

The "invasion ' includes an annual Brit-made car show. planned to stay two days and ended up staying two weeks," Francis recalls. "We fell in love with the people and the scenery and thought, "How can we stay here?'" The answer came in the form of the Sans Souci ski lodge. The couple, neither one of whom had ever served a drink or seen an oil burner before, bought the run-down building, renovated it extensively, and opened an up-scale, 30room hotel with a British accent. "My job is to satisfy Americans' perception of the British experience," Francis explains, then stops to correct himself. "Or, rather, to exceed their perception." Entering the lobby of Ye Olde England Inne, visitors

receive a royal welcome from portraits of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and the Queen Mother as a fetching 14-yearold (no Di or Fergie here). Upstairs, the rooms are done up a la Laura Ashley. "They expect it, though she's actually Welsh," notes Lynn, who does all the decorating herself. In the washrooms, Gilcrest and Soames toiletries render soiled hands as spotless as Mary Poppins'. It's all rather olde worlde and Masterpiece Theatre. But, Francis points out, unlike an authentic English establishment, Ye Olde England has central heating, reliable hot water, good food and "ruthlessly efficient" management. While he greets guests,

trains staff and dreams up new promotional packages, Lyn handles finances, scheduling and all the other unglamourous, behind-the-scenes details that keep clean linens on the beds and fresh scones on the tea tray. "I'm the creative one," Chris explains. "She's the disciplined numbers person." Lyn is also the resident cyber-specialist, with dominion over the Inne's "Command Central Control" — a bank of computers that keeps track of everything from the performance of employees to the preferences of repeat customers and the popularity of various entrees. Mr Pickwick's — named for Charles Dickens' "redfaced, rotund, jolly gentleman" — is

the Inne's "polo pub," and one area where Francis is particularly keen on exceeding expectations. The dark, wooden beams, polo prints and dartboard suggest a neighborhood pub. But the bar features 150 international ales, and Francis boasts that the fare he serves is "better than any English food." Game selections include kangaroo and arctic ox ("Very healthy! They drink water that's thousands of years old!"). Bubble and Squeak isn't the "fried remains of yesterday's dinner" Francis says you'd find in the U.K., but flash-fried fresh veggies, similar to tempura. And what's called an "English mixed grill" is a medley of venison, duck breast and game sausage, rather than a fried egg served with a fried tomato and an ordinary pork link. Francis admits that one diner, who happened to actually be British, found this interpretation of the classic dish "insultY)

ing. "I had to write her a letter explaining that I wasn't advertising the dish as the traditional English mixed grill," he sighs. While the bulk of Ye Olde England's customers are still Anglophile Americans, these days more and more of the Inne's four-poster beds are being filled by bona fide Brits. Folks from Merrie Olde England are flocking to New England for lots of reasons, Francis says. For one thing, the tight little island's 63 million inhabitants love to travel, he explains, and it's an easy sixhour flight "across the pond" to Boston's Logan Airport. Continued

It is now widely, if quietly, acknowledged that the antiAlar campaign was misguided. This chemical, which enables apples to ripen longer on trees, has been shown in recent studies to pose almost no danger to human health. The economic health of many apple growers, on the other hand, was severely damaged in the stampede to stigmatize Alar.

GOING GOTHIC

Continued from page 11 the shop hold beautiful arrangements of dried Vermont flora that von Trapp has collected. However, the Gargoyle Shop also doubles as a working studio space for both owners. Around the back of the shop, among piles of white marble shards, stands a weathered wooden pedestal, a testament to the creativity that gives the Gargoyle Shop its true character. Bruno and von Trapp are relieving a battered Jeep pickup of its burden, a load of marble slabs. Each 3' x 5' slab weighs 165 pounds per cubic foot, and as they wrangle with them, Bruno jokes about the construction of the pyramids. "Watch your fingers," he reminds von Trapp. Eventually, the slabs will be handcrafted into tables to be sold in the shop, their tops inlaid with intricate tile patterns. But Bruno is also a sculptor of marble. A sample of his talent stands off to the side: a substantial work, which most everyone calls "Adam," depicting a couple withdrawing in shock from each other and the thick white serpent that encircles them. A transplanted New Yorker, Bruno is a self-taught student of a dying craft. "I do it all by hand. Hammer and chisel," he says, pointing to the tools hang-

to read on how to carve." Bruno is quick to downplay his artistry, the skill required to coax life-like forms from unyielding rock. "The figure is there inside the rock," he says. "Anyone can see it. It's like hurling a can of paint at a wall and pointing out the designs that the splatter makes. You just have to beat on

ble are unique. A Renaissance attention to the details of anatomy and reality meld with the fluid substance of dreams to create a seductive surrealism. Surprisingly, Bruno elects not to put his brand of "magical realism" up for sale in the Gargoyle Shop. "I haven't found the right venue yet. I don't want to think of my art as

breeding of lion and eagle — secure the upstairs of the Gargoyle Shop, where most of the owners' original artworks reside. Here von Trapp's work can be found interspersed among the colorful hanging jesters, wall plaques and marble tables, one of which she has inlaid with porcelain and glass. Featured too is one of her most

provocative pieces: a plaster casting of the hands of Barre stone carver Angelo Ambrosini. The starkness and detail of the hands evokes the death masks of famous clergy and artisans, cast in eternal repose. As a live portrait caster, von Trapp usually chooses to focus on the hands, feet or head of the people who commission her work. "I've been meaning to work out a larger display of my castings," she says, "but running the shop takes up the greater amount of my time." Like Bruno and countless artists before her, von Trapp has discovered the difficulties of marrying an artistic mentality to the rigors of business. The Gargoyle Shop has yet to become the setting for a haunted story, but visitors might feel that, in the company of all its attendant statuary, they are the focus of hundreds of eyes. Yet, at the center of a gallery that overflows with the mysterious energy of these inanimate objects, Joe Bruno and Burgi von Trapp are busy making a living, and art. Four newborn kittens romp through the studio in the rear. Von Trapp's children meander comfortably through the building. Waitsfield locals visit the cafe for conversation, while curious tourists stop by for a look. And over all, the angels — and demons — cast their protective spell. (7) read it

orget Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford or (insert Hollywood hottie of choice): Sonny Rollins is the sexiest man alive. You read it here first. Age — he's 68 — has only burnished the amazing way he looks. Not to reduce even a gorgeous senior citizen to a sex object, let's talk about the way he plays. Sonny Rollins blows it sweet, tender, vigorous, melodic, rhapsodic, his fingers oh-soknowing. Did we mention sensual? The monicker, "elder statesman," never sounded so good. Among the giants of jazz — fellow survivors of the bebop era as well as young turks — Rollins is considered a "saxophone colossus." He's self-effacing about his work, a self-critical perfectionist. He once took a still-controversial sabbatical from performing to practice, practice, practice — he was that dissatisfied with his playing. Today, despite living-legend status, Rollins claims he hasn't reached his peak. But plenty of other musicians, fans and critics aren't shy about heaping on the praise: Magisterial power. Greatest living improviser. Fears nothing. A master of suspense. Transcendent. Voice.

Regardless of the vagaries of nature, one sure-fire way to improve the colors in your pictures, Coburn says, is to get out

Don't tell •• the tourists, but experts to the field acknowledge it's particles of dust and pollution that get kicked up into the atmosphere over the course of the day. of bed and shoot them in the most favorable conditions. Early morning mist rising from ponds and light sparkling off the dew makes for dramatic shots with interesting contrasts, he suggests. The calm just after sunrise is also an excellent time

to shoot trees reflecting off the surfaces of ponds. Fortunately for late risers — or those who want to hike to a foliage outpost — the "soft" light of early morning reappears later in the day. Most serious foliage photographers put their cameras down during the high contrast light of mid-day. Coburn actually prefers the late afternoon light, especially when shooting poplars and other softwoods that turn yellow or gold. "There's something about the afternoon light that has more gold to it that makes it just super for fall foliage," he says. Don't tell the tourists, but experts in the field acknowledge it's particles of dust and pollution that get kicked up into the atmosphere over the course of the day which help diffract and soften the late afternoon light. Like every other outdoor activity, you can try to buy your way to better performance with better gear. And in outdoor photography, it actually works. Have you noticed pictures in magazines that look better than you've ever seen with your naked eye? That's because the pros cheat with $ 150 enhancing filters capable of pumping up

the colors in the red spectrum. With a good filter, Coburn can make a black-and-white photograph glow like an infrared poster. But if you're unwilling or unable to commit to the big-buck filters, a $12 softening filter and the proper film is an acceptable alternative, Coburn suggests. Just ask at a specialty photo shop for preferred brands. The real secret to foliage photography, Coburn discloses, is getting an expansive landscape in focus. The key, he says, is using smaller apertures (larger f-stops) along with reciprocally slower shutter speeds to allow longer light exposure and good depth of field. Toting a tripod might not be much fun on long backpacking trips, but landscape photographer Ansel Adams was part of the "Group f-64" for good reason. Great depth of field and all the soft light in the world won't do you any good, of course, if you don't get the warm, fuzzy feeling of Vermont within your view finder. "You've got colorful leaves in Philadelphia," Coburn notes. Continued

One critical element to composing foliage and other photographs is to place the center of interest away from the center of the picture.

Just in time for the fall foliage season, a new edition of the Green Mountain Club's popular Fifty Hikes in Vermont provides a Step-bystep guide to some of Vermont's best hiking trails. Now in its fifth edition, 10 new hikes, along with updates on trailhead and route changes on remaining hikes, highlight the 200page guidebook. In addition to distances and topographic maps, authors Mary Deaett and Bob Lindemann use detailed narrative, estimated hiking times and trail difficulty ratings to create a user-friendly companion.

Here are a few of B o b Lindemann's favorite foliage hikes:

By Vermonters For Vermonters

• Belvidere Mountain. Total distance: 5.6 miles. Rating: Moderately strenuous — "You have extensive views clear to Canada and early foliage because it's so far north. You go past Lake Eden on the drive there, so it's even pretty when you're on your way. And, there's the added extra of the fire tower when you make the summit." • Mount Hunger. Total distance: 4 miles. Rating: Moderately strenuous — "What I've always liked about Hunger is it sort of sits off to the side with generally less crowds, but good views of Mt. Mansfield and other mountains. Plus, now you can hike over to Stowe Pinnacle if you want a longer hike." • History Loop (Little River State Park). Total distance: 3.5 miles. Rating: Easy-tomoderate — "This is an easier hike where you don't have to climb a summit, and there's lots of leaves to see." ®

police when we need them?

Continued from page 3 pedophiles or rapists. Since one out of four women are molested by the age of 18 and one of nine men, I felt that I needed to draw this boundary in my work environment for the safety of ail. I knew that if I had taken person with this deviant profile under my care, then 1 would have utilized a great deal of my work time in their supervision... If the VPR staff is willing to employ a pedophile, then they must also take on the responsibility for the extra supervision that this creates — as well as holding him fully accountable for his alleged relapse(s). To view these pictures contributes to the anguish these children endure as well as the devaluation of all children. In my opinion, it is the good oP boy network protecting their own, at the expense of children. And if that doesn't sound like a synopsis for the last 2000 years, then I don't know what else does! -— Donna Constantineau Hinesburg PROTESTING T O O MUCH? Hmmmm.. .Let's see if we can figure this one out. For over a month and a half, all Peter Freyne has obsessively yapped, gibed and simpered about are sex offenders, corrections, chastisement in the work place, parole, on-line pornography and child molestation. Is there really any wonderment why Freyne has the "inside track" on these particular topics alone? Methinks he doth protest too much. ; — Rich Hanson Colchester INANE COMMENTARY In the September 10th issue, Peter Freyne continued his inane cdnurieijrary on Fred Hill for the fourth straight week. Additional input since week one. It makes me wonder if Freyne has lost all creativity (if it ever existed). Freyne's continuing bullying on an 11-year-old event gives insight to a problemed mind and soul. It would be interesting to see the reaction of Freyne if his past history and the immediate event which led to his discharge as press secretary for Governor Madeleine Kunin were laid bare. If Seven Days were forthright, it would publish the basis for Freyne's discharge — if in doubt, check widi Betsy Liley, Assistant Metro Editor of the Burlington Free Press.

Suggestion: Seven Days changes name of paper to Six Days, and drops the day of Freyne's bombast. — Martin M. Glassberg Burlington NOH DICE

"Don't go to Min Tanaka's The Poc Project.,are thefirstseven words of Kevin pages; _

I take particular exception to this not just because actual viewing of Tanaka's piece contradicts Mr. Kelley's comments, but because I fear too many unsuspecting patrons may have been dissuaded from attending this worthwhile event For the record, it was everything Mr. Kelley said it wasn't, It was "elegant." It was "coherent." It was "intellectually fulfilling" It was, above all, "emotionally releasing." And, contrary to the media's hunger for controversy, no one "stalked out." In fact, the ushers had a hard time getting rid of everyone when it was over. For dance in general, the public deserves better information about an art form so often misunderstood and blindly misrepresented. — Patty Smith New Haven WRONG AESTHETIC CRITERIA It is unfortunate thar your reviewer, Anne Galloway, could not set aside her political agenda enough to perceive the novelty and beauty of Nate Freeman's "Manifest Poetry" celebration on Labor Day Weekend in Northfield ("Poetry in the Wdd," September 3). Galloway filters all stimuli through the lens of her hypervigilant search for gender bias and lack of ethnic diversity; as far as we know these are not aesthetic criteria. Because of her narrow field of vision, she failed to be moved by the emotional and spiritual content of the poetry, and the charming, homestyie setting of this grassroots backyard performance. Also escaping her notice were an elaborately painted 60-foot mural on the interior of the teepee, the fact that Doug Guy's finely wrought sphinx could not possibly have been csurredwith (as she said) a chainsaw, and the fact that "The Offspring" was a true collaboration between a poet, a painter, an actor, a drummer and a sculptor. Perhaps Anne Galloway feels that one has to be cynical in order to be taken seriously as an art critic. Freeman's poetry was too male-oriented for her and Batya Weinbaum's birth poem was too woman-centered. She even went so far as to criticize the audience for not containing people of color, as if the demographic makeup of this group from a small central Vermont town was an artistic flaw under the control of the event's creators. Art does not have to be politically centered in order to be considered valid. Historically, artists have been motivated to express emotional and spiritual nuance, psychological and philosophical revelations, and even pure aesthetic abstraction. These roots of art have withstood the test of centuries. You would do well to send reviewers to art events who have more training in thus field and who are open-minded enough to see past their

Unfamiliar with Tanaka's wotk himself, Mr. Kelley authoritatively goes on to quote other periodicals, using such alluring comments as: "difficult to decipher," "incoherent jumble" and "asks a great deal from its audience" (God forbid we might be asked to participate)* He even goes so far in his search for die negative as to misguidedly spell Japanese Noh Drama as "No " Where are the EC.

ARICS

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The Chinese city of Lanzhou is plagued by stagnant pollution. Its cars and industries pour out a constant supply of waste gas, and the surrounding landscape bottles it up so it can't readily flow away. Solution: Demolish Big Green Mountain, a prime culprit responsible for trapping the noxious air. Huge teams of laborers are even now hard at work doing just that. They're blowing up the towering edifice of rock and dirt, hacking at it with picks and shovels, flushing it away with piped-in water. I hope this mon-umental exertion inspires you, Aries. It actually makes sense right now for you to try tearing down a mountainous impediment to your own purity and well-being.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): It's Love the Warts Week. That means you should find a place in your heart to accept not only your own ngs a: shortcomings and imperfections, but also those of the people who bug you. In fact, I suggest you actively call attention to all the blemishes, maybe even celebrate them with rousin toasts and songs. You think I'm N o way. Nothing could be better for your mental health than to tenderly

from under you or kick you in the butt?

CANCCR (June 21-July 22): Did you ever wish it was socially acceptable to drool? For whatever reason: because you'd like to simulate the state of infancy and relive what it was like to have no expectations to worry about; or because you want to be completely uninhibited in fantasizing about making love to some delectable creature; or just because it would feel godlike to be so utterly uncontrolled. If this taboo urge has ever tempted you, Cancer, now is the time to let it flow. T h e Drooling Season has arrived. L£0 (July 23-Aug. 22): Did you know that babies receive almost as much pleasure from learning as they do from eating? Even in us adults, the processing of fresh and interesting information generates endorphins, the chemicals in our brains that produce a natural high. I mention this, Leo, because you're entering an astrological phase in which your brain should be especially hungry for data its never tasted before. Of course, its ability to

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): O n e reason I'm in your life is to coax you into placing less trust in know-it-alls like .me. Another reason is to show you a kind of astrology that doesn't mess with your free will, but instead clarifies your choices. In this weeks horoscope, for example, I'll crisply define your alternatives so that you may embark s

up. I won't go on, because it pains me to talk about these underachievers, who happen to be just a few of the Virgos I've encountered recently whose talents are going to waste. Instead, I will C O M M A N D you to do whatever it takes in the next five weeks to start living up to your potential. Well, actually, the astrologicalpowers-that-be command you, and I'm just relaying their message.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "What causes happiness?" wonder David Meyers and Ed Dieners in their book, The Science of Happiness. "This question not only went largely unanswered during psychology's first century, it went largely unasked.' They note that from 1967 to 1995, essays on negative emotions for outnumbered those on )Ositive emotions in the psychological iterature. (The ratio was 21:1.) I'd like to suggest that its high time to rectify this gross asymmetry —- and you Librans are the perfect candidates to lead the charge. Why? 1) You're the zodiacs masters of balance. 2) The uproarious planet Uranus is in your House of Fun for the foreseeable future.

3) YouH soon b _ Year, when seizing joy} easier than at any other moment. New

SCORPIO

these children felt moved to battle villainy. I wish you Scorpios would rise up with an equal fervor and throw some metaphorical karate chops at the personifications of evil in your own environment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 Dec 21): If Deepak Chopra and Gwyneth Paltrow had a baby, it would probably grow up to embody the qualities you've been expressing lately: sorta wise but slick, sorta sexy but in a way that doesn't interfere with your talent. Come to think of it, if Rosie O'Donnell and Ru Paul had a kid, it too might resemble your recent behavior: sorta gabby but cool, sorta bigger-than-life and packing one he!fuva mixed metaphor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): W h o was the greater saint, Princess Diana or Mother Teresa? Consider this argument. Teresa hyped and exploited her charity work in order to promote her megalomaniacal lust to be known as the holiest person on the planet. Diana, on the other hand, was a big star first, and used her fame to promote her acts of mercy. In other words, Teresa did good deeds in order to p u m p up her ego. Diana already attention she needed; her : was motivated by pure . mention this theory, because I want to urge you more like Diana than Teresa in

planet Goofus (which orbits the star Wolf 359) sent me a telepathic fax, asking me to do her chart. (I use the pronoun "her" only for convenience. There are five genders on Goofus.) I telepathically faxed her back, ir r ">rming her that the astrological system I use couldn't possibly apply over there in her neck of the galaxy. Nevertheless, she persisted, demanding that I describe all the signs we have here on Earth. As soon as I finished ranting about the Aquarian tribe, she meowed (or maybe it was more like an oink) "That's me!" So I beamed her the same advice I want to give you this week: Be open to possibilities that are wiggling on the edge between cosmic ana comic.

PISCCS (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): It'll be a great week to scout out attractive nealers to lick your wounds, and to hang around people whose emotional I Q matches their intellectual IQ, and to make rapid advances in your mastery of the language of love. It won't be such a good time to dare psychic vampires to entertain you with their tricks, or to invite charismatic jerks to reopen your wounds, or to fantasize about making love to movie stars. Believe me, Pisces, you don't need any love unless it's veiy, very smart. (?) You can call Rob day or night for

HITCHCOCK'S "TROUBLE?" VERMONT

* *

BY Barry Snyder

lfred Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry is c o m -

monly reckoned among the Master's lesser works, yet Hitchcock frequently reckoned it among his personal favorites, Filmed on location in Vermont during the fell o f 1954, It was a comedy in the midst of the darkening seriousness of his work, and the most British of all his American films, Among ether things, it marked the beginning of his creative collaboration with composer Bernard Herrmann (the "Hollywood Wagner"), with whose music Hitchcock's films would henceforth always be associated. When Herrmann later created a musical portrait of Hitchcock, he used the theme from The THubk With Hmry as t h e basis

for the arrangement, The N e w England backdrop was an essential ingredient in the story about a corpse which, to the embarrassment of everyone, insists on turning up in compromising places. "You see, the trouble with Harry is that he's dead," Hitchcock explained in an open letter to Vermont Lift at t h e t i m e o f the

film's release. "But if one has to die, can you think of a more

beautiful place to do so than Vermont in autumn?" That, of course, was not Hitchcock speaking, but the film's publicist, gamely trying to flatter the natives after the fact, In truth, it might just as well have been "New Hampshire in autumn," for it was there that Hitchcock's agents first scouted locations, only to be purloined by the ambitious head of the Vermont Development Commission, Steve Mlskeley, For another thing, the views of this advance guard weren't nearly so eompll« mentary as those in Hitchcock's open letter, as remembered by Mary Perry, the person assigned to chauffeur them around the state, "They weren't very polite about Vermont, and I thought they were terribly rude to talk like that in front of mf, The gist of it was that we were a bunch of country bumpkins and it was an undeveloped country, all that sort of thing," Perry recalled. "They were almost sneery about the places I showed them, but the minute they saw Craftsbury Common, they piled out of the car and started taking shots all over the place, So I knew we had hit pay dirt." A more important reason to

disastrous effect on the scenery, The trees were disrobing, casting their colorful costumes on the ground, The filmmakers, who had traveled 3000 miles to record them fully arrayed, were more than embarrassed* they didn't know what to do, They tried everything from redraping the trees with branches from those which were still full to gluing on individual leaves, a sight which the Vermonters fortunate enough to behold it would not soon forget, Ultimately, the film erew Hitchcock was forced to finish what was to have been "the first movie shot should submit entirely in Vermont" back in Before they left, himself to the Hollywood, they foraged a whole train ear of Vermont's fallen glory, uncertainties of full which subsequently enjoyed a resurrection taped to plasNew England's brief ter studio trees. Hitchcock was the most notoriously conservative of directors when fickle it came to the potentially disastrous vagaries of making a film, meteorological and famously paranoid about outside the order and conditions shall stepping control of a studio, If Hitchcock's films often seem always remain stilted and stiff, this is the reason, Why in this case a mystery. tests Hitchcock should go against in the American Legion Hall in the advice of everyone around Morrlsville, There, the sound of him and in direct contradiction the rain on the tin roof prevent- to his most heartfelt principles submit himself to the uncered the recording of synchronous sound.

Why

philosophical even in the midst of this eruption of the forces of chaos which his films had According to Donald Spot© Hitchcock told his cast that "after all, It was only a movie, adding that the countryside would outlast them all, and the motion picture, too," The Burlington Fm Press, in t h e

meantime, assured its readers that Vermont itself was above blame, It reported that "after expending several consecutive days of rain and cloudy skies, Hitchcock sent some of his special scouts to Virginia to see if they could find a spot suitable for filming the rest of the picture, The scouts reported, however, they could find nothing to equal the Vermont landscapes or even anything that can substitute," As a reward for his efforts, ironically, Hitchcock would soon have the Vermont foliage stuffed down his throat by the critics, In Commonweal Philip Hartung fussed that "the actors have nothing to do except look good in competition with some wonderful autumnal Vermont seenery," Years later, Leslie Halliwell would take up the complaint in The Filmgper]f Companion* Speaking of The 7bultle With Harry, h e w r o t e ,

"The autumnal Vermont setting, delightful in itself, is a distraction to a movie which would have worked better In black and white," (D

IN & OUT*** ' i l THE COMPANY OF MEN**** './•< ' - Seacual disorientation was the domi- ' < ' _ m m theme at the movies this past weekend.The periods to pig tossing film,/» & Out, features a fabulous performance , from Kevin Kline in the role of a smalltown teacher who finds himself grap. on

fiancee. Tom Selleck turns up as a personal in the new comedy from Frank Oz. Geraldo-reminiscent TV reporter who brings the confused and humiliated fellow's private search into the homes of millions. This is a cast that fires on all comic pistons as Kline first reacts to the suggestion that he's gay with denial — and a lot of hilariously macho behavior — but then gradually begins to recognize signs of a self he's kept locked away. Directed by Frank (What About Bob?) Oz, In & Out is warm and fuzzy mainstream fare elevated by t fine writing and !<&ammatic screen presences aswriUtas a reminder that Kline is very possibly the m o s t ' ,<' talented all-around actor in movies today. A darker and more daring project, In the Company of Men takes a look at the batde of the sexes, '90s-style, and offers a stinging report from the front lines. Aaron Eckehart and Matt Malloy star as a couple of thirtvish corporate parasites whose failures with women inspire a vicious pact to avenge themselves at the expense of an unsuspecting, deaf co-worker. The two carry out a cold-blooded plan to woo, seduce and then dump the woman, along the way articulating a chilling, misogynist worldview with dialogue that will actually have you wincing. I'm not sure I've ever seen as elegantly disquieting a film. Sad, completely unsettling, Neil LaBute s feature debut took the Filmmaker's Prize at the most recent Cannes competition. As it's made its way across the country, In the Company of Men has been praised as original, brave and brilliant. One thing nobody's calling it, though: a great date movie.

Dear Lola, I think you're a fraud. I think you make up the tetters in your column. Come clean, Lola! Stop trying to dupe the gentle readers! — Annoyed in Burlington Dear Annoyed, Not so gentle it seems. (I didn't make up this one.) Some say Freud was a fraud. In matters ct the mind — and heart — there are no truisms. There is only perception. And I offer mine as the selfappointed Love Counselor here amongst the personal ads. I do indeed write a number ct the letters, but like real people with problems, the issues are based both in fact and fiction. My only goal has been to encourage the harsh readers to recognize their own ambiguities and maybe even come to enjoy them. I wonder why you're so annoyed. Could it be that you have some secret that needs to be exposed and I am teetering dangerously close to it? Reader, beware. With love,
