Assistant school superintendent Sue King directed classes to stop teaching the popular line dance with a hip wiggle after one parent complained it was too provocative. * Meanwhile, the American Physical Therapy Association hailed the Macarena as a “step to better health.” Noting a recent surgeon general’s report recommending moderate exer cise for 30 minutes a day, the APTA said the dance provides “the benefits of a basic workout using the arms, legs, back — really the whole body — but it’s not strenuous.” The dance does last only a few minutes, the APTA points out, “so you must either repeat the dance over and over or groove to another beat for a half-hour to get health benefits.” □

THINK LOCALLY Congratulations and happy first anniversary to Pamela Polston, Paula Routly and all the staff at Seven Dayf. You’re all to be com mended for the superior writing and coverage in Seven Days and, most of all, for the success you’ve experienced your first year in busi ness! As the former co-owner of WEXP-FM 105-1, I know all too well the hard work, determination and perseverance needed to succeed in launching a new business, espe cially in media. That is why I found Kevin Kelley’s cover story, “Who Owns the Media?” (September 11) so timely, interesting and ironic. Despite the continued rhetoric to support local businesses, my experi ence with WEXP-FM showed me that it generally doesn’t really matter who owns the media in our com munity, at least for one of the few locally owned media. Let me give you a few examples during WEXP’s unfortunately short months on the
First of all, WEXP-FM 105.1 was the only locally owned (not “mainly locally owned,” Kevin) commercial FM radio station in the L j J Burlington market. Our seven owners (three of which were women, I might add) decided right from the beginning that part of our mission was to be an integral part of the Burlington market, and we chose to build our studio in downtown Burlington on the corner of the Church Street Marketplace and College Street. From this vantage, we felt we could truly be in the heart of the commu nity and promote downtown Burlington and the Church Street Marketplace every time our incredibly experienced air talent spoke our call letters. With 25,000 watts of power we promoted downtown Burlington throughout the north country with great pride. , Our experience, however, was devastating. With not enough exceptions, businesses we called on to advertise could care less if we were locally owned (and for those exceptional advertisers who did sup port us, we will be forever grateful). Take, for exam ple, our own bank. The local bank who believed in us enough to finance some of the most cutting-edge technology in North American to give our air prod uct the superior sound our target market demands, would not place a penny of advertising on our station (for a major radio buy including almost all our com petition) because we were simply too young to have appeared in the Arbitron rating book! We experienced the same lack of support from another locally owned broadcaster, WCAX-TV (where I also worked for seven years). While Channel 3 continues to bombard us with its “Buy Vermont First” campaign, WEXP was left out of WCAX’s November sweeps radio campaign completely. So
much for “Buy Vermont First.” Even Bernie Sanders’ re-election radio advertising would not include WEXP-FM until I finally got it through their campaign manager’s head that all the Vermont dollars sent to Bernie to ensure his re-elec tion were going out of state and we were not only a great vehicle for his message, but the only locally owned FM in the market! But wait, it gets better. Despite the fact that we were a new Burlington business, locally owned, pro moting Burlington with every breath and providing continuous public service and support of our com munity by sponsoring the Lighting of the Church Street Marketplace, City Hall blood drives, Kids’ Safety Day and many more, Mayor Peter Brownell and Wayne Gross of the Burlington Parks and Recreation Commission chose to give their two-year contract to be the official station of Burlington (which includes monthly promotions and activities for families in the community) to another out-of state-owned station, even though our written and verbal presentation of ideas was only a couple points off the incumbent’s! Then I read shortly after that the City of Burlington wants to launch a major advertis ing campaign to attract more businesses to down town! Go figure. Does this make any sense at all? Today, the space where the City of Burlington received free advertising 24 hours a day, seven days a week, is still empty, not to mention the lost jobs. It may sound like sour grapes, but I feel com pelled to educate the community (and our former lis teners) and local businesses that the overwhelming lack of support for not only locally owned media, but also locally owned retailers (in the face of my new neighbors: Wal-Mart, Pet Smart, Toys R Us, Home Depot and factory outlet centers) is both ironic and sad. Unfortunately, keeping Vermont dollars working hard here at home, whether in the media or not, is not a high priority or serious consideration for most consumers. It is my sincere hope that, unlike WEXP’s “Experience,” Seven D^yr continues to feel the crucial support from both readers and advertisers for a media vehicle which serves our community commendably. Happy First Birthday, and wishing you many, many more! Keep up the great work! — Eileen L. Casey Williston MORE LOCAL WAVES I read with interest Kevin J. Kelley’s article, “Who Owns the Media?” in the September 11 issue of Seven Days. In Mr. Kelley’s article, he stated that WKDR-AM “is the only locally owned radio outlet broadcasting in Burlington.” This quote was attrib uted to Louie Manno, one of the owners of WKDR, who should have known this statement is erroneous. Family Broadcasting, located in Essex Junction, has been broadcasting in Burlington for over 10 years with WGLY 103.3 FM. The majority of Family Broadcasting is owned by the McEwing family (the same McEwings that began the fuel oil company), and long-time Chittenden County residents. Each of the minority owners in Family Broadcasting are Vermont residents as well. WGLY is a commercial radio station supported by advertising just like stations WKDR, WIZN and WOKO... — Ben Armitage Essex Junction

Dear Cecil, After much inquiry and research I have reached a dead end as to how to get my home phone number taken off all telemar keting and tele-fundraising call lists, locally and nationally. Even after I tell callers who want donations for local causes to stop calling me, the calls persist — and seem to multiply! I’ve searched for some sort of national “do not call” list and have only come up with a lame address in Farmingdale, New York. That was three months ago with no reply. My local Better Business Bureau is useless; they referred me to the above donot-call dead end. The state consumer-affairs bureau claims there is nothing I can do to prevent these persistent invasions of privacy, short of paying for an unlisted number. My challenge to you is this: come up with a for-real way to force phone solici tors of every type (commercial and “charitable”) to take me off their lists! — Yours adamantly, Paul Bloom, Las Vegas, Nevada
(802) 655-0231
S E V E N DAYS
W hat do you expect me to do, pal, wave my magic wand? I can tell you how to get your name taken off a lot of lists. But if the guys at Biff’s Chiropractic and Charitable Trust find your name in the book and call, it’s not like I can get the FBI to send in a SWAT team. Here’s pretty much the sum total of telemarketing defenses that don’t involve spending money or getting sued: • Write to the lame address in Farmingdale, as follows: Telephone Preference Service, Direct Marketing Association, PO Box 9014, Farmingdale, NY 11735-9014. Include your name, address and telephone number (with area code). The DM A is a national association o f direct mail, telemar keting and ocher such outfits. The names are compiled into a “delete file” that’s made available to business subscribers in January, April, July and October. Among these businesses are the major service bureaus from whom telemarketers purchase phone lists. Registration with TPS is good for five years. At present no acknowledgment is sent. If you move or change phone numbers you should reregister. The drawbacks of TPS are: (1) It doesn’t work fast enough to suit certain guys in Las Vegas, since it can take as long as three months for your name to be added to the delete list. (2) It doesn’t affect automatic sequential dialing systems, the kind that play recorded messages. We’re working on a solution for these guys. It involves Uzis. (3) It doesn’t affect annoying local small fry, few of whom par ticipate in national name-removal programs. Many politicians don’t participate, either. Fortunately phone companies now pro vide all their customers with built-in technology to end unwanted local calls. It’s called hanging up. • Invoke the power o f the federal government. OK, it’s not the FBI, but the Federal Trade Commission did promulgate a Telemarketing Sales Rule effective December 31, 1995. Among other things this rule requires all telemarketers to keep an “inhouse suppress list.” If a telemarketer calls you, you can demand that they add your name to the in-house suppress list and that they never call you again. If they do anyway, get the caller’s name, company name and address (or at least as much information as you can — feign interest in whatever they re flogging and wheedle it out of the bastards). Then report em to the FTC, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Washington, D.C. 20580. Include the time and date of the call(s) and other details. ‘ If a solicitor calls, listen long enough to
name], how are you doing today?” this is not a good sign.) Then, without waiting for the other party to stop talking — they never stop talking — repeat the following: Sorry, not interested. For good measure you might want to throw in Klaatu barada nikto, too. Then giye ’em the hook. Always works for me. — CECIL ADAMS

[REINFORCEMENTS!
1 Chivalry, ladies and gentlemen, is not dead. | With her campaign making that big sucking | sound, her campaign staff torn by philosophical I and personal differences, everybody whispering ®about a previous romantic entanglement — a 1 subject that was featured a few weeks ago in | more depth than anyone cared to hear on Ken | Millette’s X-rated Ch. 15 public access show, I “W hats It to Ya” — and the public openly " scorning her for the dirty deed of hiring a pri1 vate detective, Susan Sweetser needs a friend. I Bad. || Last Friday her press secretary, Andrea Zentz, abruptly quit. Zentz had fallen on her I ksword dissing the private eye story as a “fabrica1 tion” by the Sanders camp. Just following orders | from Campaign Manager Darcie Johnston. | Stupid orders. Finance Director Jill McDermott quit in July for the same reason — Darcies ** management skill. 1 In a classic case of “better late than never,” | Sweetser has finally realized Darcie may have been doing more harm than good. With six I weeks to go and her campaign taking on water J faster than the Titanic, Susie Creamcheese has 1 found a friend by the name of Jim Jeffords. And Jeffords is sending in the cavalry in the | form of John “Bucko” Boardman and Erik Smulson. ^ Smulson is Jeffords’ press i secretary. Until Election Day, | he’ll be Sweetser’s. | Bucko’s a hometown boy I whose politics are 10 yards to the right of his hero, Oliver I North. A few years back, Bucko | headed off to Washington, | D.C., to make a fresh start as a I doorkeeper at the U.S. House of jj Representatives. (Hatch Act? I Good question.) It was a classic | case of “who” you know, not | “what” you know. Bucko’s sister, § Susan Boardman, was (and still '' is) Jeffords’ chief of staff and the I sweetheart (and future wife) of | House Sergeant-at-Arms Jack Russ. Bucko’s still a doorman, I but Mr. Russ was busted in the if wake of the House Banking i Scandal. He copped a plea and I was shipped off to a federal pen| itentiary. § A month ago, yours truly ' discovered Bucko and sister i Susan holding a little pow-wow | in the back office at Susie Creamcheese’s Church St. headquarters. At the time, yours I truly didn’t appreciate just how much of an ®interest Jeezum’ Jim has in taking down Bernie Sanders. Now it’s crystal clear. Defeating O f 1 Bernardo may not be in the cards — Sweetser is , 13 points behind in the latest Rutland | HeraIdJRf/VTZ poll taken over the weekend. * But it’s in Jeffords’ interest to at least bloody i Sanders’ nose and leave a few black and blue | marks, maybe a broken bone or two, behind — metaphorically speaking, that is. T hat’s because four years down the line, Jeffords and Sanders i!: could end up in the same race. In politics as in S farming, you’ve got to make hay while the sun 1 shines. But what about the collegiality of Vermont’s | three-member congressional delegation? “Obviously,” said Sanders, “it doesn’t lead to ®a more conducive relationship. I think what | historically Sen. Leahy, Sen. Jeffords and I have | tried to do is work as best we can together. I | think that was manifested in the Dairy * Compact. Certainly it was manifested between ^ Sen. Leahy and I on the cancer registry bill. So I it makes me uncomfortable to know that one of j the three members of the delegation is working | hard to try to defeat me. He’s not going to be Z successful, I don’t think. Obviously it’s not WM. WW4. WM&WfM WdM 1st

something I’m happy about.” Poor Bernie. And folks thought Jimmy Jeffords wasn’t a true-blue Republican. Humbug! Truth be told, this isn’t the first time the Washington connection has kicked in. Back in 1984, St. Patrick “loaned” his press secretary, Joe Jamele, to gubernatorial candidate Madeleine Kunin, who — if my memory serves me right — won that race and served as gover nor for three terms. Go figure. Tag Team? — Also coming to Susie Creamcheese’s rescue last week was the exiled, self-declared intellectual leader of Vermont’s “Better Dead than Red” squad — John McClaughry. Johnny Reaganite has been pretty 1 much off the radar screens since Howard Dean | kicked his butt in the ’92 governor’s race. McClaughry took his ball and went home to g the Northeast Kingdom. Last week he sent a three-page letter to Christopher Graff bitching ! and moaning about the comments of two members of the “Vermont This Week” panel on g ETV. “I was shocked,” wrote Johnny Reaganite, J? “at the truly disgraceful candidate-bashing that 1 Sue Allen and Peter Freyne did on Susan Sweetser... If “Vermont This Week” purports to 1 be a thoughtful discussion of the week’s news, | you ought to permanently ban Susan Allen and * Peter Freyne.” 1 Ah, censorship! Don’t you 1 just miss it? Cimonetti Tribute — W hat’s g this? The infamous Shaun Cliche is opening a nightclub in 1 downtown Burlington without | strippers? That’s what the personable g Barre native says, so we’ll have f to take his word for it. Actually, 8 it sounds like a good move, both for Mr. Cliche and for the g city. That top block of Church g Street is finally blooming, 15 years after the Marketplace bricks went down. The arrival § this week of a new Ben &C Jerry’s scoop shop on the corner g of Cherry and Church Streets, ^ the impending opening of an § Eddie Bauer store up the block J plus Cliche’s Coliseum nightg club tells you the times are a g changin’. But what becomes of J Cliche’s Club Fantasy out on 1 Williston road? According to reliable sources, Mr. Cliche is considering paying trib- | ute to South Burlington City Council President f Bill Cimonetti, who righteously led the forces § of decency against the strip club. Word is, Cliche wants to reopen Club Fantasy as a gay g bar and call it “Wild Bill’s.” Cimonetti would g certainly be flattered. See you at the ribbon-cut- ® ting, Bill? Talent Scouts — Caught The Seth Yacovone § Band at Nectar’s last week. The 17-year-old boy | wonder of blues guitar lived up to his billing. g Two nights later, The Julie Tiller Band took the jjj same stage. Julie’s got great pipes. No question, ^ Julie and Seth would be quite the combo. Queen City Jewel — It’s the finest art gallery g going. It’s next to City Hall and, thanks to its § floor-to-ceiling window on the street, it’s visible f 24 hours a day. The Firehouse Gallery is posi- 1 tively delicious. Check out Carol Rose Crosby’s f soft sculptures. The Clancy Brothers would be g proud. Media Notes — The revolving door continues if to spin over at our local NBC affiliate, W PTZ. I Reporter and Saturday anchorman John Daley § has landed a new job as environmental reporter | for KTVX in Salt Lake City, Utah. The popular p Mr. Daly has been on Ch. 5 for four years. Last jj month he tied the knot with Burlington City I Arts PR Director Amber Older. Westward ho! □ j

B A C K TALK
W a te r fr o n t
BY PAULA ROUTLY
NEW WAVE:
the dry-humored guy who pokes fun with politics right after “Car Talk” is getting ousted by Vermont Public Radio. The sta tion is making a number of changes in its weekend program ming, including an extra hour of “Fresh Air” at a time when you actually have time to tune in. But the biggest news is the folk show. After six months of audio auditions, the powers hired Fletcher reference librarian and music fanatic Robert Resnik to host “All the Traditions” — a varied exploration o f folk music in the broadest sense o f the term. “I’m not a classifiable fblkie. I like all kinds of music,” says Resnik, who also collects marbles and mushrooms. He beat out Pete Sutherland, Mark Sustic, Neil Cleary and other folk fellows in a statewide search that bumped Dick McCormack off his veranda — and the air. “The main thing is to play lots of good music, make sure its from a lot of places,” Resnik rea sons, “and never forget you’re in Vermont.” If his mind happens to lapse, local folk fans will surely remind him. One faction rallied long and hard to resurrect “Rural Rhythms” after the station pulled the plug on its first folk show several years ago. The faithful fin ger of fate does not extend to some of the other shows on the local public radio affiliate. “W had’ya Know?” will be replaced by “Schikele Mix,” a new program of musical innovation hosted by Peter Schikele, the creator o f P.D.Q. Bach on Saturday after noon. As for Sunday, brunch starts with a repeat performance of “Prairie Home Companion,” followed by two hours of “All the ; Traditions,” “Folk Sampler,” “Ail Things Considered” and “Best ! of Fresh Air.” Another new show, about music and spirituality, ; debuts at 7 p.m. on October 13. Programming Director ! Michael Crane characterizes “Sound and Spirit” as “the sleeper j of the group.” Lucky for insomniacs, there’s still “Music j Through the Night.”

JOHN CALE,
WALKING ON LOCUSTS
(Ryko, CD) — ft was 30 years ago that the Velvet Underground stumbled onstage with Andy Warhol-produced performances called the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, and its slinky, dark sound that punctured like a pinprick the peaceand-love hippie ethos. Critics panned them. The West Coast psychedelic element didn’t get it. Only New York could have birthed the Velvets, and perhaps only Warhol could have made them a “happen ing.” But the urban lyricism of Lou Reed and droning tonal strategy of musical genius John Cale lived on to influence another generation of musicians — not sur prisingly, the ones who might be consid ered the antithesis of hippie groovemeisters today. Other than their Warhol tribute, Songs for Drella, Reed and Cale have gone their separate ways since graduating from V.U. While Reed has maintained a higher profile, the Welsh man has quietly explored genres from pop to punk, country to avant-garde mini malism. Cale’s done film scores, recorded with full orchestras and produced or appeared on about 80 albums. His latest CD, Walking on Locusts, marks a return to pop, characterized by his edgy violin arrangements, but with far more focus on melody. It also features other strings, sophisticated percus sion (Velvet drummer Mo Tucker rides the kit), back-up singers and a swarm of collaborators. The whole thing grows on you with repeated listens. Overall, the record s exceedingly well-produced, with a dreamy, river-like flow, though upbeat songs like “Crazy Egypt” fairly crackle with energy — and the guitar playing of David Byrne. Toast has managed to bring John Cale to Burlington — your chance to check out a musical legend. Early show Monday, followed by Conehead Buddha and Modern Crumb.

now. While alt-rockers have presided over Burlington’s compilation musicscape, a bunch of guys — and gals — have not-so-quiedy been wailin’, pickin’, screechiri, growlin’ and generally having what’s called the blues all over the North country. Bluesman extraordinaire Mr. Charlie Frazier (WIZN deejay and harmonica/vocal for Blues for Breakfast) organized this heap of Vermont-based talent — 21 bands or solo artists (and there’s enough left over for a sequel). The project, sponsored by W IZN and Farrell Distributing, not only showcases original blues riffs inspired by Delta, Texas, Chicago, jazz and folk traditions, its proceeds benefit Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, a summer respite for kids with cancer. So, like I said, buy it now. There are lots of highlights among this homegrown selection, but naming only a few will probably vex the rest of them. Still, I can’t help citing Jenni Johnson’s sexy, smoky vocals, Unknown Blues Band’s Cab Calloway-esque opener, and the extra-hot Joe Leone’s Chop Shop. Check at out Mark Galbo, The Jalapeno Bros, and East Coast Muscle — and bring your dancing shoes the second of a series of CD release parties this Sunday at Metronome.*
SWAMP YANKEE Bill Morrissey is as natural and intimate a performer as you’re likely to find — New England’s answer to a Delta storyteller. W ith a weathered croak of a voice and an eye for detail, the bluesy-folky singer-songwriter from New Hampshire has long been a favorite with the more literary music fan — writer Robert Olmstead has even written him into one of his novels.

Liberty Hill Farm, Rochester Bob and Beth Kennett aren’t taking liberties with their farm. They re just taking For 11 of their 17 years at Liberty Hill, they have put ! their 18-room, 150-year-old farmhouse to good use and their guests to good work (but only if they so desire). The Kennetts operate an inn in conjunction with their dairy farm. Bob keeps 120 registered Holsteins well-bred while Beth keeps up to 1000 patrons a year well-fed. Their two teenage sons help our on both fronts. “It allows us to utilize our assets and diversify our income,” Beth says of their rather unconventional setup. “It also has given the boys a great education.” Liberty Hill has developed a very dedicated, almost cultish, following. People can’t get enough of the pristine set ting and personal service. And at $60 per night, per person, it’s an affordable luxury. One family, Beth recalls, came 12 times in one year. “They were beginning to think of it as their farm,” she laughs. The Kennetts can actually say that someone from every continent has stepped foot on the property. The visitor list also includes major media coverage from “Good Morning America” and The New York Times. The farm’s forte, however, is families

By Mol l y S t e v e n s I fear that he who walks over these fields a century hence will not know the pleasure o f knocking o ff wild apples. Ah, poor man, there are many pleasures which he will not know. — Henry David Thoreau, Wild Apples f your only apple experiences are in the supermarket, where bins of well-waxed, chemically preserved fruits sit year-round, it may be hard to understand why Adam gave it all up for one of them. But try spending a crisp fall afternoon apple picking and you might change your mind. Apples are more than sym bols of temptation and instiga tion, and picking apples is more than just a way to save a few bucks on the season’s finest fruit. It’s a ritualistic way to cel ebrate autumn and to see Vermont at its best. Some of the state’s orchards are conve niently close to main roads, while others require a bit of backroad exploring. Pack a pic nic, grab the kids and make a day of it. We found the folks tending the orchards to be unconditionally friendly, help ful and pretty psyched about this year’s bumper crop. There are close to 40 pick-your-own apple orchards in Vermont; here’s a list of eight in the Seven Days readership area. Every one is worth a visit. After all, says Shelburne Orchards’ Nick Cowles, “No matter who you are, something happens to you when you’re out there under those trees.” Adam did know what he was doing.

Twin Farms is very selective. It eschews editorial from all but Cond<* Nast and The New York Ttmes, according to its Englishaccented hostess who couldn’t “help” us with our story. W hat was once an inner sanctum has become a den of iniquity. The only redeeming factor is that Peter Kurth’s biog raphy o f Thompson graces every bedside table. Somehow her words get lost in the pro ceedings: “I know now that there are things for which I am prepared to die. I am willing to die for political freedom; for the right to give my loyalty to ideals above a nation and a class; for the right to teach my child what I think to be the truth; for the right to explore such knowledge as my brains can penetrate; for the right to love where my mind and heart admire, without reference to some dictators code to tell me what the national canons on the matter are; for the right to work with others of like mind; for a society that seems to me becoming to the dignity of the hum i i u m aan i i race.” xavc.

Twin Farms, East Barnard Fifty years ago, anti-social Sinclair Lewis and anti-elitist Dorothy Thompson setded into Twin Farms, a sprawling estate in East Barnard. Here they probably hashed out the current issues o f the day, per haps even commenting on the impending demise of modern society. Most assuredly, there was very little idle chatter on these exquisite grounds.

Brent Teillon knows better than anyone how likely local leaves are to turn brilliant orange, yellow and red — the head of forest protection fol lows their growth from budding to blowing in the wind.

Julie Bristol with daughter Jade, who participates in the Greater Burlington YMCA's "Live Y’e rs ’ after-school program
After school can be lonely — and dangerous — for kids whose parents work. But the Live Y’ers program — funded by the United Way — provides safe, supervised activity for Chittenden County children. Staying at their own schools, these lucky youngsters get help with homework, creative arts, and plenty of playground fun. Its the only option for many parents — and a great alternative for kids. Live Y’ers is just part of the fabric woven by the work of the United Way. Won’t you help by lending your hand?

Anyway you slice it, the recipe fails to deliver. Liv Tyler does justice to her role. Of course, a mini-industry has arisen devoted to movies about peo ple falling madly in love with her {Stealing Beauty, for example), so playing this guy’s fantasy-in-the-flesh was not exaedy a stretch. Hers is pretty much a one-dimensional role requiring her to do little other than look spiffy. Shelley Winters turns up as a by-the-numbers domineering mother and, again, this is the kind of role she can play in her sleep. I’m less familiar with the work of Pruitt '1aylor Vince, so it’s tough to assess his performance as the bland, stammering figure at the heart of the action — well, of the story. He’s either very good at conveying a complete absence of personality, or he’s a very dull boy. Assuming he’s a regular dynamo and has done a fabulous job here creating the illusion of being dull, the question remains: What is it about watching this ineffectual fellow shuffle in slo-mo through a few weeks of his monotonous, unactualized life that’s supposed to engage the viewer? Maybe it was supposed to be an experiment in minimalism, but I’m pretty sure it’s just boring. With the dramatic momentum, emotional resonance and literary firepower of a bag of soggy laundry, Heavy is an example of maverick moviemaking at its most lightweight.

EXTREME MEASURES Hugh “Can you change a pound note? ’ Grant undergoes a major image trans plant (with a little help from girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley, who produces) in this gritty medical thriller about an idealistic young doctor who uncovers a sinister scheme masterminded by his mentor. Gene Hackman makes some easy money as the baddie. Michael Apted directs. THAT THING YOU DO Tom Hanks wrote, directed and even does a little acting in this ensemble piece about the rise and fall of a ramshackle pop group and set in the magic year of 1964. With Liv Tyler, Tom Everett Scott and Steve Zahn. TWO DAYS IN THE VALLEY Danny Aiello, Jeff Daniels, Eric Stoltz, Teri Hatcher, among many _ others, star in this black comedy about a bunch of San Fernando types brought together by a murder. Written and directed by John Herzfeld. CARPOOL The latest exercise in high-octane inanity from Tom Arnold.
SHORTS BASQUI AT { NR) This biography of Warhol protdgd Jean-Michel Basquiat promises to come as close as Hollywood ever has to dealing intelligently with the subject of a creative personality. Not only does it have a sawier-than-average cast (Jeffrey Wright, David Bowie, Gary Oldman, Courtney Love), it was written and directed by someone who knows whereof he speaks — Basquiat’s fellow'painter, Julian Schnabel. BULLETPROOF*** Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler are teamed in this Midnight Run-meets- Opera Man saga of a cop, a stool pigeon and the unlikely friendship you just knew was going to develop between them. f§ |§ . THE FIRST WIVES CLUB (NR) Based on Olivia Goldsmiths novel about three women who take revenge on their husbands for discarding them in favor of younger ones, Hugh Wilsons latest teams Diane Keaton, Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn and, despite a variety of production upheavals, has the potential to prove the first big hit of the fall. MAX I MUM RISK (NR) The most fitting movie title since Bogus. Believe it or not, this is the second action adventure in which Jean-Claude Van Damme has played identical twin brothers, one of whom is, of course, extremely evil (remember Double Impact*). Now, if he’d just make a movie in which he batdes Whoopi Goldberg — that’s something I’d pay to see. SHE’S THE ONE (NR) Jennifer Aniston makes friends with Mike McGlone in the second film from Ed (The Brothers McMullen) Burns. Also featuring Cameron Diaz and the great John Mahoney. THE S P I T F I R E G R I L L * * * Industrial-strength weeper from one-time “MacGyver” director Lee David Zlotoff and teaming Ellen Burstyn with Alison Elliott. Elliott plays a young, spunky ex-con who arrives like a breath of fresh air in a dejected backwoods town. F LY AWAY HOM E (NR) Jeff {Dumb & Dumber) Daniels stars in this drama about the special rela tionship between a father, a little girl (Anna Paqutn) and a whole lot of geese. Based on the “20/20” piece about a Canadian artist who patented a group of birds. THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU* Marion Brando does the jungle-nut thing again in John Frankenheimer’s adaptation of the 1896 H.G. bizarre half-human, half-animal creatures,

shakedown o f the year. On September 26, in a spectacle that happens just two or three times a century, Saturn will brush up against a total eclipse of the moon. It’s practically guaranteed to give you the fluttery shivers and the quivery
22 Church St. • Burlington, VT • 660-8060
If you live in North America, you’ll be able to ogle it in the evening sky. The shimmering gem near the smoky lunar disc will be the ringed planet. Perhaps you’ll be moved to exclaim "hallelujah!” or “holy mother of god!” as you watch, which would be apt. I regard this cosmic passion play to be a symbolic invitation for you to tinker with the structures that hold your life together. Let me explain. Think of the moon as the mother o f mindless habit. She represents the numbing patterns and frameworks we’ve accidentally latched onto along the way. Picture Saturn, on the other hand, as the mother o f deep and holy structure. She offers us graceful matrixes that would allow us — if were receptive to her gifts •— to more perfectly translate our wild potential into vivid practical expression. Wouldn’t you prefer to have the latter archetype dominate the way your world is organized? When the foil moon goes dark on September 26, allowing Saturn to throb brighter, take it as an omen that you’re close to glimpsing the gorgeous architecture that would order your destiny with just the right mix of freedom and responsibility. (Every sign will feel the excruciating and exquisite goad of this turning point, Aries, but for you it’ll afford the the most nerve-racking risk and ripest possibility of all.) T A U R U S (Apr. 20-May 20): Before you go any further, please read the Aries message, where I’ve splashed some hints about a cosmic extravaganza I regard as a tremulous moment of truth. Now rake everything I say there and use it to revolutionize your relationship with the past. For best results, ask yourself the following questions. 1) “What dead-end dreams, hopeless fixations, and ghosdy parasites am I ready to renounce forever?” 2) “How can I ensure that sweet acceptance and alert flexibility will rule my dealings with the old ways from now on?” G E M I N I (May 21-June 20): The planet Venus, ruler of intimate liaisons, was in your sign for an eternity this year. From April 4 to August 7, as you toiled in your relationship laboratory, it flooded your main erogenous zone (your imagination) with millions of sweet, tender, lascivious vibrations. This week another heavenly rumble is arriving to climax the love experiments you conducted back then, If you read the Aries message above, you’ll find out all you need to ensure that the finished product has more in common with a genie than a Frankenstein. C A N C E R (June 21-July 22): The heavens have prepared a juicy, scary, fun-ashell challenge for all of us this week. To get the lowdown on it, please read the Aries horoscope. Let the revelations you find there roll around your brain for an hour or two, and then decide how you’re going to employ them to realign your career strategies. Your dream job, which may have been a million miles away as late as yesterday, may suddenly be no farther than a stones throw. ; > LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The moon is a place where nothing ever happens. There are no seasons, no atmosphere, no wind, no water. From one perspective, then, it represents those parts of your life which are immune to change. So what does it mean when this symbol of inertia is eclipsed? You’ll find answers to that question in this week’s Aries horoscope. Read it, and then meditate on how you mightjumpstart your stalled projects and resurrect your stagnant dreams. V IR G O (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Please read the Aries message to glean die first part of your horoscope, then return here for the conclusion. You should take everything I say up there and use it to invigorate and recondition your approach to collaboration. You’re on the verge of discovering synergistic laws of success that have always been hidden from you. They could transform your most important relationships from mere songs into rich symphonies. L IB R A (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): We never see the dark side of the moon. Because its rotational period equals the time it takes to revolve around the earth, it always shows us the same damn face. I invite you to think of those parts of your own life which are like that: forever hiding half their true natures. I predict you’ll soon be offered the chance to explore — and even colonize — that mysterious territory. For more info on how to proceed, read this week’s Aries

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Before bed tonight. I’d like you to think about the part of your life that most resembles a moonscape: ashen gray deserts, pockmarked craters, shadows as sharp as daggers. Then pray to the god or goddess of your choice that you will dream the following dream: As you watch with wonder, a brilliant team of scientists and architects terraforms your barren wasteland, using futuristic technology to turn it into a world of lush vegetation and alabaster cities. (To build up your confidence that this is a very feasible fantasy, please read this week’s Aries horoscope.) S A G IT T A R IU S (Nov, 22-Dec. 21): Centuries ago, Taranto, Italy was the home of a bacchanalian cult whose members believed the bite o f the wolf spider could alone propel them into binges of ecstatic dancing. There is a portentous cosmic pageant this week that might, if you respond to it righteously, jolt youf into a less painfol but equally thunderous new approach to rounding up your fair share of blissful fun. To find out more, read this week’s Aries message. C A P R IC O R N (Dec. 22-Jan, 19): There’s a total eclipse of the moon this week. Do you dunk it’ll bring bad luck or good luck? Halt! That’s a trick question. I threw it in to see if you’ve been following my efforts to redeem astrology in the public mind, upgrading it from a superstitious pseudo-science to a sacred language that can invigorate your imagination and reveal hidden patterns at work. In other words, the Zen answer is that a lunar eclipse is neither good nor bad luck. It is, however, a time when you’re more likely to be able to: 1) tame the destructive aspects of your animal nature; 2) graduate from habits that have their roots in your childhood; 3) learn how to mother yourself better. (For more info, read the Aries horoscope.) A Q U A R IU S (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The bad news about this week’s lunar eclipse is that it will render all your communication problems flagrantly visible. Ready or not, you’ll have to examine every flaw in how you express yourself, how you reach out to other people, and how you make the connections you need. The good news is that the eclipse will provide a window of opportunity for a

L o l a , My housemate and I have a difference of opinions on a matter of some gravity. She prefers notably younger men
—
citing their vim and vigor as the reason for her vitality. I like significantly older men for their endurance and enlightenment. Which one of us has the right idea? — Heavy Hearts in Hinesburg
Dear Heavies, Weight a minute, you both have it wrong, you're not supposed to "
specialize" in an age
group. It sounds like your house is divided into warring factions with middle age the median. Why don't you swap sides of the demilitarized zone and see what you're missing. Of course, the piece de resistance might be a menage a quatre. Turn your tete-a-tete into a coup d'etat. Men will be boys. And while you're mixing things up, remember that women can be boys, too.
