THANKS FOR CIVIL UNION My partner and I have been together for nearly eight years, and we thought we were just about as married as we would ever be. In all that time we never planned a wed ding ceremony. Our commitment to each other was understood, an unspoken promise articulated in the million little ways we shared our lives with one another. But when we decided to come to Vermont for a civil-union cere mony, everything changed. Some thing about standing before family and friends and taking a sacred vow to spend our lives together, a vow legally recognized by the state of Vermont, only made our com mitment stronger. Though our union is not rec ognized by any other state, we’ve returned home with a renewed dedication to one another. Our civil union has given friends, neighbors and co-workers an opportunity to celebrate with us in a way never before possible. My partner and I want to thank the justices of the Vermont Supreme Court, Governor Dean and the members of the state Legislature who voted for the legal recognition of our civil union. We know the political risks you took with this issue. Whatever happens in the elections this fall, please know that your courage has made a difference in our lives. — Stefani Barbero and Tammi Thornton Durham, North Carolina ‘AGENDA’ IS HETEROSEXUAL Ruth Dwyer says the NEA has
a homosexual agenda. Others would have us believe that Out right Vermont is teaching and encouraging children to be homo sexuals. Both of these statements are distortions of the truth. Schools for years have had a het erosexual “agenda,” in that students have been subjected to overwhelm ingly heterosexual teaching materi als. Has that ever convinced the small percent who are gay not to be? Has it succeeded in recruiting/ teaching them to be heterosexual? No. Including teaching materials in schools that promote acceptance and tolerance of homosexuals will not turn heterosexual children into homosexuals, any more than the reverse situation has turned homo sexual children into heterosexuals. Furthermore, children raised by two homosexual parents (isn’t that the ideal recruiting/teaching situa tion!) are no more likely to be homosexual than children raised by heterosexual parents. Advocating that one should become a homosexual is vastly differ ent from advocating that it is OK to be homosexual. Unfortunately, many people seem to think that Outright Vermont and the so-called homosexual “agenda” espouse the former, rather than the latter. — Susan Southall Elmore APPALLED BY BANNERS I am writing this letter regard ing the article, “A Sign of the Times” [September 13], in support of Markus Brakhan’s opinion and fact. As a long-standing Burling
ton, Vermont, resident, I am appalled at the sight of such hideous advertising banners that conflict with Vermont’s values and representation thereof. Ron Redmond, Marketplace Executive Director, describes these banners as an inexpensive way to advertise, which in my opinion cheapens the aesthetics of the Marketplace. Furthermore, with tolerance of these particular ban ners comes acceptance of more banners with every Marketplace event, until banners wave con stantly and billboards begin to pop up through 1-89. Do people really think that these banners increase awareness/ attendance of the events advertised through these means? I don’t, but hey, who am I to argue? Perhaps Ron and his colleagues could brainstorm on low-cost, creative ideas for advertising, like scantly clad females parading up and down Church Street carrying ban ners advertising Marketplace events, or clowns holding signs tar geting children for the family-ori ented events. Conclusively, every one has an opinion that could be argued, but the facts will reign in the end. — Amy E. Mentes Burlington SIGNS CAN HURT I knew a man who was a pillar of the community. A successful businessman who dealt directly with the public, he was a respected member of both a fraternal order and an agricultural organization. He was popular, but remained a
bachelor throughout his life. He was the kind of person who knew everyone and whom everyone knew. Or did they? When he died a few years back — too young — hundreds of peo ple attended his funeral. They believed they knew what disease killed him. But they were wrong. Some of us knew that this man died of a broken spirit. Few knew he led a double life. It was a diffi cult road and, believe me, it was not what he would have chosen for himself. Most people did not know that he was gay. Because he loved his family, he had kept hidden his relationship with the love of his life, who died after they had been together many years. Imagine never being able to simply be who you really are. Whether they are aware of it or not, or whether they choose to accept it or not, everyone reading this letter knows at least one per son who is gay or lesbian. This person is someone they do busi ness with, a good neighbor, a fel low parishioner at church, or someone in their family. When that gay or lesbian person sees a sign that says “Take Back Vermont,” they know what it real ly says — and it hurts. I wishc everyone who has put that sign on their lawn would just take one moment to consider the possibility ■ that in doing so they are hurting a real person they know — some one they like, someone they respect, or perhaps even someone they love. — Beth Diamond E.

A Ugandan court rejected a 97-year-old man’s application to end his 65-year marriage on the grounds of infidelity. The New Vision newspaper reported the plaintiff accused his 77-year-old wife, whom he married in 1935, of committing adultery with sev eral men between 1975 and -1986. The report said it was not clear why he had taken so long to sue.
A toy virginity-tester was removed from the shelves of Greek shops after the govern ment banned it out of concern for its psychological effect on children.

He said the first per son to accept his offer was a woman who achieved national fame in Germany by taking a shower live in front of millions of viewers of a “real life” TV show which followed the intimate lives of ordinary Germans. “This is not about pornography,” the entrepreneur insisted. “This is about lifestyle.”

A t t e n t io n , P le a s e ^ I f you yelled for eight I years, seven months m and six days, you will have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.” I just want you all to know that. This tidbit whizzed into my e-mail the other day, from whence I know not. It might have been somebody’s daily chuck le (you know who you are), or one of those “factoid” lists: “Men can read smaller print than women, but women can hear better.” Or: “It’s possible to lead a cow upstairs but not downstairs.” And: “Eighty percent of American men say they’d marry the same woman if they had it to do all over again. Only 50 per cent of women do.” This because women, generally, are still picking up the socks. If they live in Germany, some giant percentage of them are picking up “underwear that hasn’t been changed in seven days,” according to an item in my Inbox. Men are pigs, as I’ve said before. Further more, “I am” is the shortest sentence in the English lan guage, and “a duck’s quack doesn’t echo and no one knows why.” No wonder people are flocking to the Dalai Lama. Someone sent me the DL’s “Instructions for Life” and I rewrote them for fun: “Take into account that great love and great achieve ments involve great risk.” (Keep great accounts when achieving love because you risk being taken and involved.) “W hen you lose, don’t lose the lesson.” (When you don’t lose, you lose less.) “Follow the three Rs.” (Swallow the arsenic!) T hat’s as far as I got, no disrespect to His Holiness. There were more, but I lost interest. Like everyone else in this country, I have no atten tion span. A new report from the Kaiser Foundation says that 65 percent of American children aged 8 to 18 have televisions in their bedrooms. Forty-five percent have video game players, and 21 percent have their own computers. The New York Times, scoop ing this news, talked to a boy named Will: “Well-spoken and polite, he described a game called Team Fortress Classic, which he plays on-line. ‘There are ways to make it very funny and gory,’ he said approving
ly. ‘W hen you kill somebody, it makes 25 times as many body parts fly.’” Isn’t that adorable? The sociologists are worried about “an erosion of communica tion” in the American family. Not to mention spying — parents who are already too busy and exhausted to pay attention now have to keep up with the filth and imbe-
with Edward R. Murrow. Simultaneously, images of the Kennedy assassination beamed from “This Week in History.” It’s only September. And here’s the Dalai Lama saying, “Believe that good things will happen to you and they will.” “Be gentle with the Earth.” “Approach love and cooking with reck less abandon.” Just $24.95.

But just wait — if Will goes berserk it’ll be Mom’s fault. Will’s parents “used to talk to him about the carnage on-screen, he said, but now they rarely say anything.” The standard is revised ever downward. No one asked Will about his cell phone, I guess, or his Palm Pilot, or any of the other techno-trinkets that keep him running and fidget ing in anxious circles: “Thirty years ago only 6 per cent of American sixthgraders had TVs in their rooms.” On Monday, Salon ran a front-page story questioning the staggering rate of Ritalin prescriptions among children in the U.S. More and more kids are being threatened with expulsion from school if their parents don’t dope them up. No one would dream of blam ing “Sesame Street,” which by itself created two generations of frenetic hoodlums, magpies and jumping beans. Never mind “violence in the media” — just think of the noise and the false urgency kids imbibe every minute of their lives.

Is this some kind of Zen I don’t know about? Is this “Bobo” Buddhism? Bobos are “bourgeois bohemians,” and the guy who’s written a best selling book about them, Bobos in Paradise, says you can find them concentrated in two American cities, Berkeley, California, and Burlington, Vermont: “You’ve seen them: They sip doubletall, non-fat lattes, chat on cell phones, and listen to NPR while driving their immaculate SUVs to Pottery Barn to shop for $48 titani um spatulas.” Everyone wants me to put a “TAKE VERM ONT FORWARD” sticker on my car, but I just want to cut the old one in half so it reads: “PRACTICE RANDOM SENSELESS ACTS.” Incidentally: “The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime-time tele vision were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.” “Intelligent peo ple have more zinc and cop per in their hair.” The Dalai Lama says: “Once a year go someplace you’ve never been before.” I happen to know he doesn’t write his own stuff, because my publisher is pack aging his next best-seller. “It’s about keeping awake,” my editor says. “You mean mindfulness.” “No, that was the last one.

a fter 50 years of binding commitments, Vermont’s most prestigious printer turns a page by pamela polston this place? And suddenly a vista opens up out of the trees — the lazily winding Connecticut River, fertile fields, the White Mountains beyond — and you think This is why they’re here. Stinehour says as much in an interview a short time later, once you’ve finally found him, ensconced in one of the rooms in a warren comprising the business he found ed. Like a lot of Vermont properties, the place has been added on to over the years, and the series of smallish rooms on different levels helps it retain a cozy, friendly feel. From the outside, the place can almost still pass for the family farm it once was: The buildings are painted red, with crisp white trim. But the absence of agricultural implements, and the neatly lettered sign by the driveway, tell you otherwise. Inside, every wall is adorned with print after fine-art print produced by the presses within. Someone has set up little individual letters welcoming you, by name, on a board facing the front door. It’s a nice touch, that perhaps only printers would think of, and a small echo of what happens in the letter-press room near by — where presently copies of a delicately embossed Dartmouth College annual report are being printed. Up a narrow set of stairs to Stinehours office, it’s no surprise to find a pleasant room lined with hundreds of books — a fraction of the company’s output. A large painting leans against one shelf— the “mother” of a lim ited-edition run of faithful reproductions stacked in the pressroom downstairs. This is the domain of the rosycheeked septuagenarian who, despite passing the reins to his son Stephen 15 years ago, shows no sign of kicking back. Nor, despite his limited time for an interview today, does he express the least bit of impatience. In a world, and an industry, moving ever faster, Rocky Stinehour still conveys the gracious impression that he’s all yours — and that may help explain his small company’s big reputation. When Stinehour first settled here in Lunenburg a half-century ago, life was very different, he reminds — “no TV, less than 25 percent of the traffic we have now, paper came in on a train in Lancaster, New Hampshire.” After serving in World War II, he had attended Dartmouth on the G.I. Bill, and quickly fell in love with the notion of making books. Then an art history major, he recalls fondly his studies with Dartmouth’s legendary “book guru,” Ray Nash. “I was fortunate to know in college what I wanted to do,” Stinehour says. “I became focused pretty quickly after I got back from the Navy.” Following graduation in 1950, he and his wife Elizabeth moved to Lunenburg — not far from where ,
f Roderick Stinehour had minded the realtor’s mantra, “location, location, location,” he probably J l * wouldn’t have gone into business in Lunenburg, Vermont. Buy a home, raise a family there, sure, but no one in their right mind would consider running a com petitive printing press in this bucolic, miles-from-anywhere pocket of the Northeast Kingdom. O r would they? Well, he did, and you’d have to admit that this week’s 50th anniversary celebration of the Stinehour Press, host ed by the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, proves Roderick — a.k.a. Rocky — Stinehour was in his right mind after all. Not only that; he has demonstrated the gift of turning a liability into an asset. Making do with what you’ve got is a common enough rural Vermont trait, but the Stinehour success story is about far more than getting by. It’s about becoming a fine, internationally respected, high-end book printer while living in the boonies. It’s about getting the business to come to you. It’s about having the best of both worlds. And the Stinehour story is less about doing $4-6 mil lion in sales per year — a modest sum, after all, compared to the mega-revenues of others in their business — than about the endurance of old-fashioned values in an increasingly high-tech and competitive field. You might call their mantra “quality, quality, quality,” and upon this foundation the Stinehour Press is Rocky-solid. “We went to Stinehour because of their reputation for very high quality,” confirms Robin Hurley, co-publisher of a young Los Angeles company called St. Ann’s Press. Devoted to putting out fine-art photography books, St. Ann’s used Stinehour for their debut book last year, Baraka: A Visual Journey, which features photographs by Mark Magisdon that reflect “man’s interconnectedness, spirituality, his capacity for destruction and mortality.” For photos of that lofty magnitude, Hurley required the finest reproduction. “We appreciated [Stinehours] atten tion to detail and the aesthetic,” he says. “Overall it was a very pleasurable experience to work with them.” And the distance? Hurley shrugs it off. “The alterna tives were to go to Italy or the Far East,” he explains, “so the logistics were relatively more manageable.” His only regret is that his partner, and not Hurley himself, got to make the trip to Stinehours “very pretty part of the country.”
riving from the west on Route 2, the Stinehour \ Press is much further past St. Johnsbury than you i* expect. Miles go by, and you’re wondering Why are they here? How dpthey do this} and Where, the heck is.

Stinehour grew up in New Hampshire — and he began working at what was then the Bisbee Press. It was run by a retired farmer with respiratory problems, Stinehour ^ explains, and the jobs tended to maple syrup labels, auc tion broadsides and sheets of weekly specials at the gro cery store. Stinehour soon bought the tiny press and began to grow it. “I was interested in printing books from the beginning,” he says, “but it took us a while to build the organization.” . * O f course, he was acutely aware that the book busi ness was nowhere near Lunenburg, so “we very quickly learned to go where the books, and the book people, are,” he recalls — “Chicago, Boston, New York.” But just mak ing the rounds of book fairs wasn’t enough; the nascent Stinehour Press needed something to show for itself, and that’s where his college connections came in handy. “By the mid-’50s we had Dartmouth research libraries,” Stinehour says. From scholarly works in history and the humanities, it was a natural step to other books that required “good typography and reproductions of works of art,” he says. Affiliations with museums grew — the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, for one. To this day the Met uses Stinehour on appropriate volumes, notes muse um Egyptologist Christine Lilyquist. Her scholarly book, The Tomb ofTutmosis I l l ’s Foreign Wives, is currently in the works. “I was curator of the Department of Egyptian art when several other publications were printed at Stinehour,” she says. “I know they think Stinehour does the best black-and-white work; the resolution they get in photographic images is very high.” “The people who work with them are museums and institutions who don’t have the economic imperative that most publishing houses have,” adds Gary Chassman, an independent book packager in Burlington and the former co-owner of Chassman & Bern Booksellers. “They’re acknowledged as one of the finest printers in the world.” Though none of his Verve Editions books have been printed at Stinehour, Chassman recalls working with the company in 1981, when it printed Aljred Stieglitz: Photographs and Writings for the National Gallery. “I was working with Calloway [publishers] at the time,” Chassman says, “so I had occasion to go to Meriden Gravure, then part of Stinehour.” For decades, Stinehour was in league with the Meriden Gravure Company in Connecticut — “The illustration part of our books was done down there,” Rocky Stinehour explains — and in 1976 the two offi cially joined forces. Finally, in ’89, Meriden was absorbed under the same roof in Lunenburg. O r rather, a different

Although we lived in rural Vermont, with the people and my father’s work, we really lived all over the United States. And we got to see the world through the customers that came here.” “I wanted to expose my children to the places and people I was exposed to,” says Rocky Stinehour; “to give them an education and to realize this is a great big, beau tiful world.” He seems to have similar sentiments about beautiful books — an overarching belief that words and pictures, lovingly presented, have the power not only to educate but to inspire. It’s no wonder he was selected this year as a member of the jury for the American Institute of Graphic Arts’ annual 50 Books/50 Covers competition. Stinehour Press itself has won categories in that national competition many times. Last year was for The China Book. The AIGA description explained why: “This is a limited-edition book, showcasing the beautiful pho tography of Jock McDonald taken while traveling in China. The goal of the project was to showcase the collec tion in a simple, elegant format that would allow the photographs to speak for themselves. Using simple Chinese elements such as a square cover, Chinese fabric, and an accordion fold, this goal became a reality in a very ong before words like “digital scanner” entered the inviting package.” vocabulary, Rocky and Elizabeth Stinehour began This year Stinehour took honors for The Black Letter, rto grow their family along with their business. a book about type, and Genetic Self-Portrait, a photogra Eventually they had eight children, all of whom worked phy book by Gary Schneider. in one way or another at the press — three of them still Simple elegance might be the Stinehour aesthetic. do.

Now the facility can handle everything from concept to finished product, and the company launched its own design services arm just this year — overseen by Rocky Stinehour in what ought to be his retirement years. Having steered his press from low to high tech, the only thing he misses from less complicated times is “the way of doing business as much as anything,” Stinehour says. That meant working with a fascinating stream of directors, curators, designers, artists and writers, who fre quently came to Lunenburg to check on their books. Now “representatives” often come — and the production process includes the most up-to-date equipment. “Although I’m a historian and antiquarian to some extent,” Stinehour notes, “I have no problem with what we do now — we always have adjusted. You have to. W hat we want to do with the past is bring it into the dig ital age. The attitude is quality, so were still producing books like we were, but by different means.”

e fucked up,” Joseph Cammarano says bluntly. “There’s nothing we can do to change what we did or the harm we brought about to society or our families. But, we can do something about the future and help to change the choices some young people are making so they don’t end up in here.” “Here” is the Northwest State Correctional Facility outside of St. Albans. The series of lowlying brick buildings, surrounded by a chain-link fence topped with razor wire, is the state’s most secure prison and houses the most violent criminals. And “here” is where Cammarano is serving a 25-yearto-life sentence for double homi cide. The 39-year-old convict has the physique of a personal train er, but, with an armful of tattoos and 17 years behind bars, he’s far from what you’d call a perfect role model. Yet Cammarano is one of the creators of a new, and controver sial, program for at-risk teens that is the first of its kind in the nation. In “Get a LIFE” — the acronym stands for “Learn Inside From Experience” — young peo ple benefit from face-to-face con* * * * * * » # • *#*■**■»*

tact with inmates who talk about their personal experiences. The idea is to convey that prison life is no picnic, and to impress upon teens there are consequences to bad behavior. The inmates also discuss per sonal responsibility and the impact of their choices on loved ones. In some cases they help the teens rebuild frayed bonds with parents or guardians. For their efforts, Cammarano and the other inmates receive no pay, no “good time” and no perks — they simply hope to reach a few kids and prevent them from end ing up in jail. Not many people would think to put “prison” and “com munity resource” in the same sentence, but supporters of Get a LIFE — including St. Albans Mayor Peter DesLauriers — fre quently do. Over the past year, parents, guardians, counselors and teachers throughout Franklin and Chittenden counties have turned over more than 500 teens to talk with incarcerated murder ers, kidnappers and drug users. Young people with drug or disci pline problems, juveniles who have broken the law, and average teens who could be lured into a life of crime — all have seen the inside of the St. Albans prison through the eyes of its residents. , A cross between group thera
py and tough talk about prison, Get a LIFE is unique among deterrence programs aimed at youth. The combination of straight talk, one-on-one interac tion and written “homework” encourages kids to consider the effects of their behavior, rather than telling them they’re lazy and need to straighten out — or by intimidating them, as in the nationally known program called “Scared Straight.” Some kids who have been through it say the experience changed their outlook on life and on crime. By national standards, Vermont has a low, and declin ing, juvenile crime and incarcera tion rate, according to Corrections Department statis tics. But there are some discon certing numbers as well. O f the more than 1500 inmates incar cerated at one of the state’s seven prisons and one work camp, nearly one-third are between the ages of 16 and 25. Perhaps more significantly, one out of every seven Vermont males between 18 and 21 — more than 2400 — is under the supervision of the state Corrections Department through probation, parole or prison. The pressure to build more youth prisons is growing in Vermont — it’s even become a campaign issue for gubernatorial candidates and legislators. But
corrections and human-service experts are in agreement that more could be done to reach hundreds of juveniles before they offend. But no one thought an answer might come from behind prison walls. The idea for Get a LIFE was hatched in the spring of 1996, while a group of inmates at Northwest was watching an M TV special on the 25 th anniversary of “Scared Straight” at the Rahway State Prison in New Jersey. Cammarano went through that program himself and has nothing good to say about it. He was also put off by Vermont Corrections Department prison tours for at-
were Dave Ibey and Mark Prest — two staff counselors at Northwest who helped create the program and continue to act as its coordinators. “Obstacle number one was that this was coming from inmates,” says Ibey. “The outside perception is that they want something in return, and that they’re only in this for them selves. The other outside percep tion is that these inmates could n’t possibly develop something that is effective.”

— Joseph Cammarano risk youth that inadvertently made life behind bars seem like a positive experience, showing off amenities such as a computer room as if the kids were on a col lege tour. He and fellow inmate Michael Richards Sr. were con vinced they could come up with a better model. “We knew that we could talk the truth to these kids and get them to listen, and not by yelling at them,” says convicted murder Richards, 38, during an inter view in prison. Five other young inmates joined Cammarano and Richards in initial efforts to plan a pro gram for teens: Raynel Breault and Thomas Bathrick, both 22, had been and in and out of jail since they were 16; 20-year-old Jason Maisonet had been incar cerated since he was 18; Randy Francis and Travys Trites — both now in their early twenties — had long histories of petty crime and violence before they signed on to help troubled youngsters. Inmates involved in Get a LIFE must maintain a clean record to participate in the program — no positive drug tests, no discipli nary complaints. Nevertheless, many adults are still leery of a prevention pro gram that puts potential offend ers and prisoners in the same room together. O ut of a thou sand individuals invited to an open house for Get a LIFE last January, only 50 people replied. The only attendees from the Corrections Department, in fact,
become synonymous with juve nile crime prevention. Taken on a tour o f Rahway State Prison, teenagers meet with inmates who verbally assault them, hoping to literally scare them away from a life of crime. For some hardened kids, it works. For the majority, however — including Cammarano — the impact is negligible or has the opposite effect, according to studies by Princeton University. Because of the program’s poor results, New Jersey lawmakers drastically cut its funding earlier this year. “Scared Straight” does not exist in Vermont and, according to the state’s Corrections Commissioner John Gorczyk, it never will — although tough teens are still given tours of prisons. “You don’t reach kids when you yell at them like that,” Cammarano says flatly. You “just throw up a wall in front of them — they don’t listen. I know I didn’t listen to it. It was bullshit. Kids know when you’re just play ing tough and trying to be macho.” “W hat we do is try to get behind that wall and open up a dialogue with these kids. Really talk to them,” adds Richards. “It’s all about listening to them.” He and the other inmates in Get a LIFE manage to connect with the kids at a “street” level, which takes many of the youth by surprise, and provides some

hope for the programs long-term survival. “I thought when we went in there the inmates would try to scare us, as I’ve seen with the ‘Scared Straight’' program on MTV,” says Mike Flower, 18, who went through Get a LIFE as part of his enrollment in YouthBuild, which teaches teens practical work and life skills while they perform community service. “But really, they wanted to help us, and tell us what jail was really like. They wanted you to tell them about your life and asked about what’s going on with you. I think a lot of us connected with that and were willing to relate our stories.” Organized in three distinct phases, Get a LIFE takes roughly six weeks to complete — and is now a requirement of YouthBuild participants. In the first phase, the teens enter the prison through the booking room like

any convict — minus the shack les. “It was not what I expected,” recalls Flower, who anticipated being treated more humanely. “I mean, you had to take off your shoes to get in and they told you what the parents of inmates have to endure to get in to see them; that really had an impact.” After a tour of the prison, the “students” meet with the convicts in a conference or activi ty room. During this session the inmates introduce themselves, explain what they’re in for and what they hope to offer in the program. They speak openly about their life before and after being imprisoned, hoping to spark a dialogue. They ask the kids to talk about themselves as well. “We try to make them under stand that they aren’t just punish ing themselves with their behav ior, but their parents and the people who care about them are suffering right along with them,” says Cammarano. “When you get locked up, all the people you

thought were your friends go away. But your parents are the ones who come to see you.” Flower says the stories of prison life — related through several videos and one-on-one interaction — affected him deeply. Shocking tales of inmates being raped, or stabbed more than a dozen times with a filed-down toothbrush handle by a “best friend,” brought prison life into grim focus. “After going through theprogram I know for sure that is no place I want to end up,” says Flower. “You don’t really have friends on the inside, and you don’t have any freedom; you’re treated like an animal.” At the end of the first ses sion, the kids are given a packet of materials that includes several anonymous questionnaires for them and their parents. The questionnaire asks teens such questions as, “Do you knowingly defy your parent(s) or guardian(s)? If so, why?” and “Describe peer pressure as it relates to your own experience and describe how you deal with it.” A worksheet called “Think Link” asks the kids to list habits, goals, self-perception, their suc cesses and failures. Parents are asked, “How do you communicate with your child — as a friend, a parent, both or not at all,” and “Do you think your child trusts you? Why or why not?” Answering the questions can be tedious, Flower says, but working through them taught him something about himself. “When I first got the ques tionnaire, I didn’t think it was anything worthwhile, but I got a lot out of it,” he agrees. “It made me think about what I’ve got going for me right now, and what I’ve still got to do in my life.” The inmates use answers culled from the questionnaires to direct a general group discus sion during the teens’ second trip to the prison. In this phase, the inmates talk even more directly about bad choices and irresponsibility, and how they impact victims, families and society. For the kids who return for phase three — accompanied by a parent or guardian — the inmates make it clear they are not going to take sides, but to help facilitate a reunion of sorts. “Parents often see their kids in a different light through this process, and vice versa,” says counselor Ibey. Flower’s dad went with him to the final phase, and the teen says the experience made clear to him the bond he shares with his family. While there is a risk that kids might bond instead with the prisoners, the inmates stress they are ‘the bad guys’ who have done terrible things that should n’t be emulated, according to Prest. “If kids relate to them, I hope they relate to them as

Continued from page 13 what they have come to be, not what they have done,” he says. Many Get a LIFE “grads” have written or e-mailed Cammarano and the others with feedback on the program. But few of them were willing to speak on the record about it. One testi monial the inmates hold up is the “Becky Letter,” from a young woman who took the tour through Centerpoint Adolescent Treatment Services in Winooski. She writes, “If I did not get to the Get a LIFE program, I would be in jail. I just want to say thank you for helping me realize what life is. I will always remem ber the tour that saved my life.”
ounselors, social workers and probation officers are a little more even-handed in their appraisal of Get a LIFE — no deterrence program is infalli ble, they say, and not all kids change for the better after experi
encing it. “We know we’re not going to get to every kid,” con cedes Prest. “But that doesn’t stop these guys from reaching out in hopes of just getting to a few more.” T.J. Valley, a probation case manager in St. Albans, believes all the teens who go through Get a LIFE are getting its message. “But the question is who is will ing to heed the message and apply it to their everyday life,” he says. “That’s more difficult, and not all kids at that age are going to do it.” Valley admits that some teens are bound to become “lifers” in the criminal justice system. “You are going to have that regardless of the program,” he says, “but I’ve seen Get a LIFE reach more kids than other prison programs in the past, especially those kids on the fence.” Speaking of tradi tional prison tours, he adds, “Once the shock effect wore off, these kids were only scared for a little while and they went right back to doing the same thing that got them in there in the first
place.” For many kids, falling back in with the same crowd is inevit able, and escaping the reputation that comes from being a trouble maker can be especially difficult in a small, rural town. Enter Jason Mode, at high speed. On August 13, less than two weeks after completing the third phase of Get a LIFE, the 16-year-old stole a sport utility vehicle in South Burlington and, with two passengers on board, sped to St. Albans. After running a couple of stop signs at high speed, he was briefly chased by police before crashing into a house on Newton Road — less than three miles from the prison’s entrance. Though Mode walked away from the accident, both passengers were sent to Fletcher Allen Health Care, where they remained in critical condition through August. They were released earlier this month. Mode pleaded innocent to charges of grossly negligent oper ation of a motor vehicle and driving a car without the owner’s

consent. Police say the teen was not drinking or under the influ ence at the time of the accident. Mode is scheduled to appear at a court hearing October 2 in St. Albans.

the program and is planning a formal staff review in the coming year. “I have heard nothing but positive reports about Get a LIFE, and I feel OK about the program as its been run so far,” says Gorczyk. But he’s reluctant to overanalyze the program at this time, or rush to replicate it. “As soon as I start to. come in with a lot of expert evaluation or ask for modifications to what they are doing, I’m afraid it would damage [the program] by dampening the spirit of the inmates.” Gorczyk has fielded requests to replicate the program at other jails, but doesn’t believe it will work at all seven of the state’s prisons. Even Get a LIFE sup porters agree. Prisons in St. Albans, Newport and the yet-tobe-built facility in Springfield are the only three jails that could potentially do it, says prison counselor Prest, because they house long-term inmates, who have more time to devote to the effort.
There is also the question of whether all other inmates have the same abilities to “connect” with teens. “W ith a program like this, as is the case with any human-services program, you often have a situation where the performers of a service are also the ones who are the most com mitted to it,” Gorczyk says. “How much of the current pro gram is really driven by the val ues, energy and commitment of these inmates, and can that kind of intensity carry on; and can it be realistically replicated?” A co-founder of the St. Albans effort, Travys Trites is interested in getting inmates trained to run a Get a LIFE pro gram in Newport, where he is serving time, says Prest. “We’ve talked to Travys about it, but we haven’t had time to get the ball rolling,” he adds. A new set of staff counselors at Newport would also have to be trained. Essex County Side Judge Allen Hodgdon would like to see that happen. “I would love to use it,” he says, “but for the people
who come through my court, it’s too far to [go to] St. Albans.” Presiding over Family Court, Hodgdon often sees youth who could benefit from lessons about responsibility and the impact of their behavior on society and their families, he says. If the Corrections Department sup ported Get a LIFE, the judge adds, it could become a national model. “This earth-shaking program has the potential to change the way we think and the way we' present deterrence to young offenders,” enthuses Hodgdon. “We don’t need to spend more money on bigger prisons; we need to spend more time and energy on deterrence, and this program is a model for that type of thinking.” (7) For more information about Get a LIFE, contact Mark Prest or David Ibey at 524-6771, ext. 163 or 158; e-mail getalifeprogram@yahoo.com; or visit www.getalifeprogram. homestead, net.

artists and printed in hand-set letterpress. Only 235 copies of the book — bound in Moroccan goatskin and Japanese fabric — were printed in this luxury edition. The price? Three grand. Slightly more common, and affordable, are books such as the 2000 copies of Eugene O ’Neills The Iceman Cometh, with illustrations by Leonard Baskin. It was printed for members of the Limited Editions Club for $190 each. More common still are museum catalogues accompanying shows such as Picturing Gentility: Portraits o f Women in American Art, from the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York; or Outward Bound: American Art at the Brink o f the Twenty-first Century, printed for a globe-touring show from the Meriden International Center in Washington, D.C. Sometimes, of course, limited edition simply means limited interest — say, the 1964 volume A Unified Field Theory, written by a Dartmouth engineering professor. Though interest in it will surely be greater, the essay by Vermont writer Garret Keizer on Stinehour Press — which he’ll read this Friday at the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum — is only going to 111 bibliophiles and “friends of the press,” says Stinehour. Those copies will be delivered at another 50th anniversary celebration, in Boston November 3. But, he adds, the essay is likely to end up in Vermont Life magazine, in slightly altered form, before long. For his part, Keizer — author of No Place But Here and A Dresser o f Sycamore Trees and a fellow resident of the Northeast Kingdom — found ample inspiration for his essay after meeting Rocky Stinehour, and finding out how many people in the publishing industry revere this small press in rural Vermont. “I learned the world of printing is like the world of professional billiards or avia tion, where people tend to know the history and the other people involved in it,” says Keizer, who adds he’s always been interested in how people work. “There are a number of stories and legends around it. Apparently a number of impressive people has passed through Stinehour.” ; .. ... , v.... . One of those impressive people is Keizer’s own pub lisher, David Godine, who worked as an apprentice with

Stinehour at Dartmouth. Now the owner of a highly respected publishing company in Boston, Godine was also a student of Ray Nash. That’s why he returns to teach at the college’s Book Arts Summer Workshop, developed in 1989 by none other than Rocky Stinehour. “After Nash retired in 1970, the college discontinued the book-arts courses,” Stinehour explains. “ Then about 12 years ago, I and several other people got together to re-establish the book-art workshop and institute more courses.” The four-day workshop last month featured “Bruce Rogers and the Renaissance in American Printing” — Rogers is considered the “first great artist-typographer” in the business, the program says — and included inten sive study of his some of his works from the early 20th century. Available free of charge to the Dartmouth community year-round, the book-arts shop, located in the Baker Library, teaches students how to set type and produce books on one of the electric Vandercook presses or hand presses, explains college librarian Margaret Otto. Students are most likely to print personal chapbooks of poetry or short stories. “Very ambitious people might do longer works, but it takes a long time to set type by hand,” Otto notes. When Ray Nash taught book arts, the course was something of a “black sheep,” writes Godine in remarks prepared for this summer’s workshop, “clearly not embraced by any of the standard disciplines” at Dartmouth. He explains that Nash’s way of educating about the book arts was not by looking at slides and dis cussing books in the abstract, but by passing the original material around the table and handling it. “This made you think; above all, it made you learn to look,” he recalls. Most students — most everyone — these days prefers the instant gratification of computer generation and cheap photocopies. But who’s to say one or more of those Dartmouth students, laboring reverently over a tiny vol ume of their own verses, won’t be seduced by the timeless beauty of, as Mary Stinehour puts it, “ink on paper”? Maybe some of them will even find their way to the Stinehour Press. “A lot of people have come to us because they’re inter-

There have always been people who want a less frenetic pace.” Even so, Stinehour still expresses some surprise that he’s been able to do what he does in Lunenburg — espe cially as competition for high-quality printing blossoms overseas. Years ago, when the company was trying to raise money for growth, “we were encouraged to move to Burlington near the airport,” he says with a crinkly grin. “There a lot of reasons not to be here, but I’ve always thought this location has given us something very spe cial,” Stinehour muses. uPlace is very important.” ® ,
The St. Johnsbury Athenaeum hosts a celebration o f the 50th anniversary o f the Stinehour Press this Friday, September 29, 7:30p.m. The reception with desserts and champagne is $15, and writer Garret Keizer will be reading his essay about the press.

Sweetwaters. They looked like business travelers, both in sports jackets, no ties, nice shoes. They were having a good night; a night out on the Queen City seems to make people happy. “Gentlemen,” said I. “How ya doin’ tonight?” “Just fine,” replied one of them. “You folks got quite the town here.” “Ain’t that the truth?” I said. “So, whad’ll it be, the Best Western?” In the rear-view mirror, I saw them shoot each other star tled looks. Then the other guy spoke up. “How in hell did you know we’re stay ing at the Best Western?” Oh, what the heck, I thought, let’s let the cat out of the bag. “Gentlemen,” I said, as I pulled away k from the curb, “you ■L have the psychic cab bie at your service.” Now, of course, there’s an alternative, entirely innocuous explanation for every one of these incidents. Maybe the no-signaller did, however subtly, flash a slight indication to me. And perhaps the Willard-Williams figment is explained by the number in the address: Though the students gave 37 South Willard as their destination, I know 37 South Williams to be a major student housing complex. As for the Best Westerners, it could be the fact that I’d already driven a few similarly attired business types to the Best Western earli er that evening. I recall one of them telling me they were attending a business conference at the hotel. But why accept the mun dane explanation? Psychic endowment makes for a much better story! Besides, I’ve already determined the source of my mystical power. It’s a gift from Jehu, the God of Taxi Drivers, a.k.a. the “Ferocious Charioteer.” But, please — do not fear me. I’ve taken a blood oath to wield the power wisely, in the service of all mankind. O r all taxi users, anyway. ®

The castle construction ended with Barbers death on July 2, 1966. He allegedly com mitted suicide — the death certificate reads “poisoning due to carbon monox ide”— a strange way to end a life so seem ingly filled with endless acts of creation. Since then, much of Barbers work has quietly crumbled away; even though these little Camelots were built with care and workmanship, permanence is not a work ing option for most things that live out doors year round in Vermont. Today only six castles remain, five of them visible from the road. The most accessible can be seen on private properties on South Street, Station Road and West Shore Road. Now in varying stages of repair, they set a curi ous tone for this corner of the island. The Champlain Islands are set off from the rest of the state by geography and, it seems, temperament. Despite a growing suburbanization over the past decade, life here somehow retains its intimacy and charm. Though close to Burlington, South Hero has not yet given in to urban latte jit ters. Instead, it provides a peaceful place where the wind is always blowing and the light is always changing. This may have been a natural and welcoming home, then, for an imported eccentric. Bob Hemingway is up on a ladder, painting along the eaves of his West Shore house, when I arrive and ask permission to take a closer look at his Barber architec ture. He grants it graciously, but doesn’t come down — if you want to ask ques tions you have to squint and holler. Hemingway remembers Harry Barber as a co-worker and friend; from his lofty perch he informs that his personal castle had been moved from the lawn of the South Hero Inn. “Came apart in sections, nice as you please,” he says.
Asked why he wanted it, Hemingway relates without exactly explaining, “I was raising pigs. I hauled the garbage one sum mer from the inn to feed them, and I got [the owners] to give me that castle in exchange.” Though Hemingway says he knew Barber “pretty well, I’d guess,” he can’t say why his immigrant neighbor built castles. In fact, about Barber he’ll only say taci turnly, “Harry was a real nice man.” He may have been straightforward enough as a person — Barber worked locally as a caretaker, gardener and farm laborer. The mystery was in his turreted output. The castles would be easy to dis
spent long Vermont winters building the castles in sections in his workshop. One castle is a pearly pink; another white; the others are various shades of gray. The shapes vary, too — some seem like appropriate quarters for Tinker Bell, while others are muscular and military. One sur viving example sits at the water’s edge and fixes a steady gaze on the New York shore line. Though hard to see from the road, it boasts a dungeon and clearly means busi ness, protecting the island from any ques tionable doings across the bay. Barber’s confections may say something about life before television, but simple boredom doesn’t really explain their indi

developer — for the Little People. miss as mere oddities but for their sheer abundance and, frankly, the joyful nutti ness implicit in outfitting a lawn ornament as if an actual tenant was expected. Barber’s widow, in an old Burlington Free Press interview, described one tiny house he built, now gone, that was in move-in condition right down to the cur tains. His works often had plumbing, rafters, staircases, interior details and lights. You might call Barber an early developer — for the Little People. Hemingway recalls that Barber came home from work every day with rocks in his pocket, culled from the beaches and quarries. It seems that collecting and sort ing the stones was one of his steady, over riding avocations. Barber clearly selected his stones with specific goals in mind, then
viduality or complexity. The castles suggest that he built like a true architect, from the inside out. They have not just floors but floor plans; rooms flow from one to the other; stairs operate between the levels and often curve, with windows lighting their way. Along a high walkway, tiny metal chains prevent the imaginary occupants from plummeting to their deaths on the rocks below. The degree of detail is both amusing and strange. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that children particularly love the castles, which offer them an alternate world on a manageable scale. Since Lavallee lives daily with a castle and might have extra insight, I ask what she thinks Harry was up to. “I think Harry Barber was a real, incurable romantic,” she replies. “He wanted to make things by
hand, in his own way. I think about the glass windows and the little doors, all the details, and I just think he wanted people’s lives to be lovely, to have a mystery.” Barber’s constructions, which go well beyond the ornamental, seem to act as a doorway to some other, perhaps better, ■ =>■■ world. And, of course, a much smaller one. Lavallee says her children were thrilled when a chipmunk took up residence in their castle one summer. It flickered around inside the rooms, present but hard to see, and its shadowy, furtive doings con vinced them that the Borrowers — tiny characters in a popular children’s book — had come to stay. “That’s sort of what it’s about,” Lavallee says. “The castles seem to raise possibili ties.” Cruising the island, it’s easy to notice that the place offers its own possibilities, even enchantment. Here you can drive past fragrant vineyards, through farmland marked off by zigzagging rail fences, and over flat, open countryside. Here you can see long distances — it’s not like the rest of Vermont, where the view keeps getting in the way. There are places in the islands where you can see nothing but blue dis tances, tiny boats, bright water and tended cropland. It’s the Big Sky Country of Vermont and, to tell the truth, it looks a lot more like the Outer Banks of the Carolinas than it does like, say, Stowe. The ridges of the Greens and the Adirondacks are often visible, but they are over there, on the mainland, apart from this open, sunny enclave. A little beach beckons, and the sign says it’s a public one. I give in to the temptation and take a long walk on it. When I get home, I discover a lot of small, colored rocks have to be emptied from my pockets. ®

Kinoy learned a few things about situational comedy. Turning radio shows into live theater left little margin for error. “Suddenly, there was a question of limita tions,” he says. “There was no fade in, or out.” One of his favorite memories is an episode of “The Marriage,” a 1954 sitcom starring Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn. “It was the last scene. Jessica was sit ting on a staircase and there was room only for one camera, noth ing else,” he reminisces wryly. “We were sitting in the control room when Jessica went blank. But there was nothing to cut away from. Hume gave the cue over and over again. So he finally starts ad-libbing and eventually says, ‘Isn’t there something you wanted to tell me?”’ Kinoy suspects that NBC started taping episodic television sooner than intended because of an incident with Edward G.

TEAM The subject matter speaks for itself. Kinoy has turned the world’s worst social problems into some of the entertainment industry’s best scripts. He tackled managed care and physicianassisted suicide for season-ending episodes of “Diagnosis Murder.” He also penned Murrow, a 1986 HBO movie about Edwin R. Murrow’s clash with Senator Joe McCarthy, and a 1991 television movie called Chernobyl: The Final Warning, about the tragic nuclear power accident in Russia. Kinoy also took on the pitfalls of post-Civil War America in the provocative 1971 Western, Buck and the Preacher, starring Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte. The film follows newly freed slaves as they struggle to find a place in rural America. Some of the scenes look like they might have informed George Roy Hill’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but Kinoys story put sub stance well ahead of style. And well ahead of youngster Steven Spielberg, Kinoy gave anti-Semitism the spotlight in Skokie, a 1981 made-for-television movie based on a mostly Jewish town in Illinois that strugged against neo-Nazi insurgence. The American Civil Liberties Union argued success fully that the fascist group had the right to participate in the town’s parade — although its opinions were hateful — because of the First Amendment. Even though he might dis agree with some people, Kinoy is a staunch defender of the right to free speech. “Where do you draw the line between criminal vio lence and free speech?” he pon ders, noting that the ACLU’s position was difficult to stay with during the real Skokie incident in 1977. And in a rare moment of personal political disclosure, the winsome writer who sports a “Take Vermont Forward”
bumper sticker concedes the same freedom to gubernatorialcandidate Ruth Dwyer. Issues of censorship and free speech have been recurring themes in Kinoy’s career — as well as in his copy. Early on, at NBC and later at CBS, he had to invent ways to avoid foul lan- J guage for television. “I wrote for years without using ‘damn’ or ‘hell,’” he says. “It’s only recently that every fourth word has become a four-letter word.” But the bigger battle was for his own voice. Kinoy was a target of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Hollywood blacklisting, which reverberated from the late ’40s until the early ’60s. “It was a time when people were naming names in many fields,” he laments, adding that his own writers’ union was divided. The majority was opposed to firing communist sympathizers, but the minority used the issue in an attempt to seize control of the union in an election. They lost, and sought revenge. “The man who appeared before the committee to talk about communism in New York gave the names of those who had run against him,” Kinoy recalls. He himself was named, and did n’t find out until many years later that NBC had been pressured to fire him but refused. Meanwhile, the erstwhile “liberal” network, CBS, succumbed to the red-scare tactics. Kinoy wasn’t initially aware of the congressional testimony against him. On one of his first visits to Vermont, he was shocked to read his name in the Brattleboro Reformer. A lot has changed in half a century. The award-winning author of “Roots” and “Route 66” is firmly ground ed in Vermont, where he has become very important, indeed — and his press, at least this week, is all raves. ®

ack in the old country, my grandmother once told me, her own grandmother was so deeply and inconsolably mis erable that she cried herself blind. W hat made her so unhap py? We’ll never know, because no one ever took the time to sit down with her and ask to hear the whole story. If we had, we might know more about who we are as a family, and have our selves a darned good story. The Vermont Folklife Center wants to make sure more families don’t let good stories slip through their fingers. Since 1984, the Middlebury-based organization has been collecting, pre serving and cele brating Vermont’s folk heritage through an exten sive archive of oral narratives, exhibi tions, radio pro grams and videos. This month it launched a new Family Heritage Series of picture books with the pub lication of two slim volumes based on stories from the center’s archives. Daisy and the Doll, written by Michael Medearis and Angela Shelf Medearis, tells the story of an AfricanAmerican child’s first encounter with racism in turn-of-the-century Grafton. The book relates a true incident recalled by Daisy Turner, a child of freed slaves who lived to age 104, and whose stories were aired on National Public Radio in the Peabody Award-winning series, Journeys End. The Two Brothers is an immi grant tale from the family of for mer Vermont Commissioner of Agriculture Ed Eurich. Its author, William Jaspersohn, is
B
also the editor of the Family Heritage Series. Every family has a story to tell, Jaspersohn believes. “More than just genealogy, these stories are a way for families to under stand what informs who they are,” he suggests. To help inspire children and their families to set down their own histories, each title in the series will include a hands-on activity based on telling and preserving stories. The books are also an attempt to share some of the center’s best tales with a wider and younger audience than generally finds its way into the Middlebury archives.
The decision to include a Daisy Turner story was a nobrainer, Beck recalls. Turner’s appeal as a storyteller, and the depth of her subject matter, had already been established by the radio program. The specific inci dent described in Daisy and the Doll was chosen because it pres ents Daisy as a child. More importantly, says Beck, “the courage and honesty and person al integrity” displayed in the story “really galvanized us.” As the book relates, Turney lives on a farm in Grafton around the turn of the last cen tury.

Folklife founder and director Jane Beck, who conceived of the picture-book series, has been gathering oral narratives for more than 30 years. “While we’re out there talking to people, we some times hear the most extraordi nary stories — real stories from real people,” she says. Selecting the specific stories that would make it into book form was easy, she adds. “All of us knew right off the top of our heads the sto ries that would work.”
evening and recite poems made up on the spot. At the village school, Daisy is the only non white child in her class. When she’s eight, the class presents a program in which each student is given a poem about a different nationality to recite, and a doll representing that country to carry. The doll Daisy is given — named Dinah — has a coal-black face. For the first time in her life, Daisy becomes aware of the color

of her skin, and feels ashamed of the way she looks. Though her father encourages her to go ahead and recite the assigned poem, Daisy can’t make herself do it. Instead, she delivers an extempo raneous poem about how she feels — an act o f courage that not only unburdens her, but earns her a $ 10 award for her original and honest presentation. Daisy and the Doll teaches a powerful lesson about how an act of bigotry can occur, and hpw it feels to be singled out as differ ent. The little girl’s ability to turn her sense of humiliation into a moving expression of self-affir mation is inspiring, and could spark some spirited classroom discussions. But as a picture book, Daisy and the Doll is disap pointing. Though Larry Johnson’s broad-stroke paintings convincingly convey Daisy’s emo tional turmoil, they fail to take the reader beyond the words on the page.

The story is told in Daisy’s voice, as it is on the original tape transcript. But rather than pres ent its narrator as an old woman recalling an event from her past, the book casts Daisy as a child reporting on a recent incident. This approach gives the text an immediacy that helps the reader feel Daisy’s anxiety when, for example, she’s preparing to recite her poem. But the narrator’s insights about the significance of her experience feel too wise, too mature and well-distilled, for a child of eight. Telling the story in the

unnecessary awkwardness. A key element in the story is the offen sive poem the teacher assigns. We see Daisy reading the poem over and showing it to her father, and we hear him telling her to memorize it. Were told that the poem has opened Daisy’s eyes to the color of her skin, and that when she tries to practice recit ing it, the words stick in her throat like a bone. But the reader is never given a glimpse of the words she finds so offensive. Why was such a crucial ele ment omitted? Because when the real Daisy Turner told her story, she couldn’t remember the origi nal poem, explains Jaspersohn. The authors could have filled in this missing information by inventing a version of the assigned poem themselves. Instead, they chose not to under cut the authenticity of their telling. This decision shows a commendable sense of respect for the story’s origins. But for this reader, at least, it is an unfortunate distraction to an otherwise compelling story.

hough the Eurich family’s story isn’t as weighty as Daisy Turner’s, Two Brothers is more than satisfying as a picture book. The story is based on a tale Beck heard from three different Eurich grandchil dren — each time in a slightlydifferent form. In Two Brothers, Jaspersohn — a Johnson resident and award-winning author of more than 20 children’s books — tells a fourth version hewed to fit the picture book format. Two brothers live with their mother in Prussia. The older brother, Heinrich, boards a ship for America, promising to send for the others later. W hen he arrives in New York, Heinrich — now Henry — is sent to Vermont to work as a farm hand. Henry works hard and loves his new home, but can’t afford to bring his family over. Meanwhile, in Prussia, the mother dies. The younger broth er, Friedrich, sells the family’s belongings and boards a ship for America. When he arrives in New York, Friedrich — now Fred — is sent to Vermont to work as a farm hand. The broth ers don’t realize that they’ve land ed on neighboring farms until the day they’re both sent out to walk the fence line that separates their bosses’ farms. The book ends cozily with the brothers, years later, telling their story to the next generation. The Eurichs’ tale was chosen for its focus on the immigrant experience, and for its “elements of synchronicity,” says Jaspersohn. “W hat I like about it is, you couldn’t make a story like that up. It has to be true.” Though the characters in the story are all adults, children will respond to the tale’s uncanny air of inevitability, and to the com forting account o f the practical

WE A RE BACK FOR THE SEASON... AND WAY WAY FUNNIER THAN EVER BEFORE! rhythm of farm work. Jaspersohn brings out the plot’s fairy-tale quality by using strong, spare language and paral lel phrasing that highlights th e' brothers’ parallel experiences. Both men’s crossings are “rough and cruel.” Both men are dis patched from the immigration office with a train ticket and a dollar. The book’s opening phrase, “There once were two brothers,” is also the phrase with which the book closes. Michael Donato’s bold, deeply saturated illustrations look as if they could have been paint ed on boards f om an old barn. His primitive style is right in synch with this archetypal, fami ly-origin account. Beck says the center plans to publish two new picture books each year, eventually culling sto ries from oral narratives gathered all over the country. This is not strictly a Vermont-based venture, she stresses. But the Middlebury collection offers more than enough great stories to keep the presses rolling for some time. Two books are already in the works for 2001: Ghost on the Hearth, by Norwich author Susan Milord, is a FrenchCanadian family legend; Tom and John, the tale of a logger and the horse who saves his life, is being written by construction
contractor and VPR commenta tor Willem Lang. Translating any oral anecdote into a successful picture book is more than just a matter of spread ing words across the appropriate number of pages and adding pret ty pictures, Jaspersohn notes. “A 32-page picture book is a very particular art form. It has to have pace. And language choice has to be spot-on.” Sometimes details that were omitted in the original telling need to be reconstructed, or even invented. And the concern about age-appropriateness may even outweigh the need for authentici ty. But as Jaspersohn suggests, the real point of family stories isn’t so much the specifics of what’s told as the bonds that are strengthened by the act of telling. Vermont Folklife has given us some good new stories to share. The ultimate measure of its success, however, will be in how many tales were inspired to tell of our own. ® William Jaspersohn will sign his book, The Two Brothers, and talk about family storytelling at the Book Rack in Winooski on September 28 at 7 p. m.; Shelburne Museum on October 1 from 34:30 p.m.; Charlotte Library on October 12 from 3:30-4:30p.m.; and at the Dartmouth Bookstore in Hanover, N.H. on October 14, from 3 -5 p.m.

f: COMING AND GOING First, the going — in fact, gone: C lub 156 has w rapped up a storm y tenure on St. Paul Street in Burlington w ith its landlord pulling the plug. T his after the nightspot in the bad-karm a location changed its form ula a couple o f times — including, briefly, to a gay bar — was cited twice in recent weeks for serving underage patrons, and hosted a male strip act that got a little, uh, overexposed, w ith a liquor inspector as witness. It was the last straw for building owner Bret Kernoff, who kicked out his troublesom e tenants last week. I’m still puzzling over why club co-owner Joe BrygOdzinski told m e he was changing the nam e o f the place back to the Bottleneck, and the vibe back to hetero, w hen it appears he never got around to the nam e change after all. (He could not be reached for com m ent.) But, this, m y friends, is

m oot now. T h e happier news is about two brand-new venues — neither o f them in Burlington. O ne, in fact, isn’t even in Verm ont, b u t is an easy ferry ride away in Plattsburgh, where Tim Carter, a licensed pilot and recycling professional, has rechanneled his skills. His penchant for airplanes and ability to scavenge interesting items, such as an old D C 3, V W bus and a form er cell from D annem ora, has translated to an enorm ous new dance club called G round Zero. Located on Durkee Street in dow n town Plattsburgh, the 8800-square-foot form er warehouse is a long flight from Dullsville. T hat D C 3 M cD onnell-D ougias aircraft has been cut apart and appears to burst through the wall — the cockpit is now a deejay booth. T his is accompanied by a 30-foot wall mural o f a pilot out of control — finally, a plane crash w ith a happy ending! T he 69-foot bar is gleaming copper, and firstclass airplane seats form booths around the club — no w ord on locked and upright trays. But G round Zero is sure to have a lock on local scenesters — its 651-capacity has already been maxed. T hough located across the lake, G round Zero already has V erm ont connections: T he sound and lighting sys tem are from here, and Burlington bands DysFunkShuh and The Halogens christened the place last week. Zola Turn hits the stage this Thursday. T he entertainm ent form at — booked by Jay Strausser o f Burlington’s All Points Booking

nEws — will be a com bination o f deejays and live acts. As if this weren’t enough, C arter explains that the current club is only phase one; having p ur chased a cluster o f buildings, he’s planning a restau rant, jazz bar, retro bar and concert hall — one step at a time. Rock on, Plattsburgh. Closer to hom e, the long-awaited FlynnSpace — Burlington’s new convertible underground the ater — opened its doors last Friday. Big Joe Burrell and the Unknown Blues Band christened the inti m ate cabaret space that once housed the Last Chance Saloon. Inevitably, a few glittering patrons were overheard m entioning the h-word: “H u n t’s.” O r was it Heartw ood Hollow? T he brainchild o f Chris Jones, the 80-seat “gallery stage” is located on his property in Hanksville — in fact, it’s semiattached to his house — and will feature acoustic acts as well as a few Signal to Noise jazz shows. Jones is from same Albany ’hood as S T N ’s Pete Gershon. Bluegrass guy Tony Furtado jum pstarts H eartw ood Hollows this Thursday. “We finished [the house] w ith the dream o f having a com m unity music venue out here in the hills,” says Jones. Horace Williams, owner o f Little Castle Studio, has helped work out the sound kinks. “If there are any noise problem s w ith the neighbors, I’m prepared to erect a soundproofing fence,” Jones adds. But noise, parking or other issues will be worked out as they com e up — it’s “kind o f a field-test season.” H eartw ood will host three shows this fall, and after that Jones expects to organize two concert series each year, spring and fall. H e won’t be serving refreshments, but visitors are welcome to bring their own. H ead for the hills.
H alogens says “it’s the best thing we’ve done in our two-year career,” and he’s n o t talking about the recent virtual EP release on the b a n d ’s W eb site (thehalogens.com ).
N ope. “It” is the musical benefit this T hursday at C lub M etronom e for the W om en’s Rape Crisis Center. Always good to get one’s priorities straight. Salad Days, Augusta Brown and Sirius also turn out, b u t even w ith four groovy and generous bands, the W R C C needs your help m ost o f all. G o on, let a good tim e be your good deed.
SINGLE TRACKS Four m em bers ofviperHouse were invited by Widespread Panic bassist Dave Schools to play on some tracks for Schools’ side project, Slang. Reportedly joining them in Bill Lasw ell’s N ew York studio will be ViC Chestnutt and Bemie Worrell, am ong others. M eanwhile, the vipers slither into M ad M ountain Tavern this Saturday before their M idwest tour . . . T he Mighty Blues Workshop are taking a little tim e out to record, too — at the Celine Dion-sanctioned Piccolo Studios in M ontreal. M ighty Mike Bernal reports the band has also picked up a distribution deal with Canada’s Select D istribution. Look for them back at Stowe’s M ountain Roadhouse this w inter . . . T he m an w ho can’t stay out o f the news, James Kochalka, announced he’s licensed some of his com ic-book art to C om m e des Garmons, for use in a series o f ads in European and Am erican art and fashion mags (check the O ctober A rt Forum). T he French fashion designers have also produced a lim ited-edition T-shirt using one o f his drawings. C ’est formidable! . . . Heads up, fans o f indie rock: T he Insound Vinyl Van is returning to Burlington w ith heaps o f merch from your favorite labels, and free entertainm ent from Kind O f Like Spitting. T he bus pulls up to U V M this T hursday in the early after noon, takes a quick spin to M iddlebury College 5^ later in the day, then returns to Burlington for a show at 242. N ow that’s a w hirlw ind tour . . . ®

THINGS NEVER CHANGE (Bridgefolk Records, C D ) — It’s hard nor ro like Chris T itchner on some level. As he sings in his uncom plicated tenor voice about noisy neighbors, m isunderstood dogs and young love, you m ight see a piece o f your own life. T hat w ouldn’t be a surprise in T itchner’s latest release, w hich is clearly inspired by the Burlington singersongw riter’s environs. It’s not just the photo o f the M idtow n M otel on the cover th at makes it feel like B-town. It’s m om ents like the one in “My T ow n,” where T itchner tells o f neighbors cranking reggae and rap: “All they’re tryin’ to do is stand out in this crowd/All I’m tryin’ to do is not smash in their face/I don’t w ant to rain on their parade/but I don’t w ant to live m y life to their repeti tive bass lines.” Wow, did th at one hit hom e for this writer! Like T itchner’s first release, this one features the nicely m oody cello stylings o f A na Jesse. T his tim e around, however, the duo is joined by guitarists Lyle King and Aaron Giroux, singer Emily Day and per cussionist A dam “Irving” Rabin. T heir com bined tal ents make for a well arranged and enjoyable folkrock casserole.
“Bad D og” is clearly the m ost fun track o f the bunch. Carried by a quick tem po, its narrative from a dog’s point o f view feels like som ething from the Lemonheads: “I get hot under the collar/when they throw all those leftovers away/Dogs are starving in C h in a .. . ” Just as the vocals o f Juliana H atfield and Evan D ando fit like peanut butter and jelly, so do those o f T itchner and Day. T he award for catchiest song goes to “W hat A bout You?” A sweet guitar melody and bouncy flow justify high volume — if the neighbors don’t m ind. Day’s feminine echo scores again, while T itchner’s brief dalliance w ith a filter teases w ith the prospect o f a m ore diverse vocal presentation. His voice is nice, if not unique, but m y ears need a different pitch every so often. Rabin was clearly a m ajor force on this sopho m ore effort, as he played drum s, did the mastering and mixing w ith Titchner, and even helped w ith the C D ’s design. T itchner has broadened his sound with a solid cast and taken the next step in his musical developm ent. C ontrary to the title, some things do change. And th at’s a good thing. -—
Kirt Zimmer
delivers soulful guest vocals on three tracks; and bassist D erek Jones and drum m er Aaron Johnston, w ho provide tasteful backing for Furtado’s cool bentnote slide guitar m elody on the languid instrum en tal, “Fat Fry on the H og Farm .” T his is probably my favorite cut here. I also dug the peppy, m inim al “Cypress Grove,” the pretty “Hazel Com es H om e” and the genuinely funny “Miles A lone.” T h e downside: Call m e close-m inded, but I don’t think a medley o f Irish traditionals, like “O aktow n Ceili,” benefits from two drum m ers plus tablas. Likewise, “W aiting for G uiteau/President Garfield’s H ornpipe” and “False H earted Lover” com e across as busy and overwrought, though I did like the way the violin and electric guitar double (triple?) Furtado’s banjo licks on the former. T his record is consistently well-played and wellproduced. My problem s w ith Tony Furtado Band are m ore with its concept than its execution. So if this sounds like your cup o’ tea, don’t let m y prejudices dissuade you from seeing this talented crew do their thing at the brand-new H eartw ood Hollow Gallery' Stage in Hanksville (see “R hythm & News”) this Thursday. —
Paul Gibson
TONY FURTADO BAND (self-released, C D ) — A t its . best, “world m usic” is an organic recom bination o f indigenous and foreign musical forms into som e thing fresh w ith potentially broad appeal. At its worst, it’s a m ongrelization akin to the all-too-oftenm ism atched flavors o f “fusion” cuisine. As evidenced by their recent eponym ous release, the Coloradobased Tony Furtado Band, w ith their eclectic blend o f roots musics and m odern beats, fall somewhere in between. Furtado sings some, but m ostly plays banjo and slide guitar, and even slide banjo on one cut. M ost o f the tunes are Furtado originals or arrangem ents, b u t they do mess w ith a song each from Bill M onroe and W oody Guthrie. Furtado is joined by a shifting roster o f able musicians too num erous to list — no core band is evident. Standouts include Kelly Joe Phelps, who

enlivened by areas of colored pencil. A substantial oii-on-paper painting, “Two Birds Walking,” moves horizontally across two sheets framed together. Its lucid, diagonal compo sition illustrates that simplicity is one of the key factors which makes this exhibit work. Mac Donald has placed the two birds in a red field at the upper right and divided the rest of the space with a long slope from upper right to lower left. This sweeping diagonal does not run from corner to corner, however; MacDonald has pushed the line slightly off-balance. Her colors are equally effective, while also being kept to a minimum —
n classical mythology, the architect Daedalus constructed the Labyrinth of Crete to keep the Minotaur at bay. A two-dimensional represen tation of the Labyrinth, a convoluted swirl that looks almost like a fingerprint, appeared on a Cretan coin in the first millennium B.C., and it has appeared in various guises in other cultures around the world ever since. Colchester artist Carol MacDonald also uses the labyrinth in many of her works, currently exhibited at the Mist Grill in Waterbury, along with fresher personal iconography — ravens. Her use of these black birds is very different from the way Van Gogh and others in Western art have employed them. Like MacDonalds labyrinths, they are innocent rather than ominous, and appear to be spiritual symbols representing inter connections between people and their environ ment. Fortunately, most of the paintings and monoprints in this show also work well formally. i All of the “mindfulness” in the world cannot redeem a poor composition. “Five Birds Feeding” is excellently composed. The tall, narrow oil-on-canvas painting consists of five pecking black birds seen from above. They are dispersed asymmetrically up and down the image, and the background is an abstract space built of brushstrokes that imply MacDonald s labyrinth form without clearly delineating it. Her colors range from a dark green at the top of the canvas olive green, and a pinkish brown below the slope, to descending strokes of ocher and pale carmine. complement the red area where the birds reside. “Migrations I” is a large-scale painting that “In the Landscape,” a painting-within-a-paintemploys similar hues. Its fully rendered labyrinth ing, uses a more complex approach to color. A symbol curls over a green field on the left of the small landscape at the center of the canvas is sur painting, and again the ravens appear. Five of rounded by a thickly layered expanse of wax. The these birds are flying at the right, in an atmos fat translucency of the wax has a completely dif phere of sienna and orange. Three more appear at ferent character than the delicate scene of purple the left, creating a clockwise motion in the small mountains and rolling green and blue hues at the flock that balances and echoes the broad, round heart of the piece. The waxy area also has warmer labyrinth beneath them. colors within it, further separating the two. “In MacDonald is an accomplished printmaker, the Landscape” is unlike any other piece in the and her monoprints are well-controlled without show. If it was an experiment, it was a successful losing spontaneity. “Making Peace” and “Red one. Birds I” also have passages of drawing within the MacDonalds technical versatility, combined images. In “Making Peace,” strands of gray pencil line break out of the rectangular boundaries of the with her ability to keep the images simple and direct, make this a solid show. To preach without print, adding a distinct layer of dimension over the two black birds. “Red Birds I” is chromatically being overly preachy is also a refreshing talent. ®

Music has always played a piv otal role in the movies of Cameron Crowe, and it provides the very heart and soul of his'lat est. Almost Famous tells the semiautobiographical story of a preco cious 15-year-old San Diego boy who develops a love for rock ’n’ roll, a passion for writing about it and an improbably touching friendship with legendary rock journalist Lester Bangs — as played by the great Philip Seymour Hoffman. Young Patrick Fugit never misses a beat with his finely tuned portrayal of the films central figure. Its a performance that should make him this year’s Haley Joel Osment. The younger of two children being brought up by a bright and strong-willed widow (Frances McDormand), Fugit is an inno cent bystander to the battle being waged between generations in the early ’70s. Upon leaving home to escape her mother’s controlling influence, Fugit’s sister bequeaths her record collection to him, and the universe contained in it immediately beckons. Gifted beyond his years, the kid lives in parallel worlds, regarded as a nerd at school while getting record reviews accepted by the unsus pecting editors of magazines like Creem. He gets a much closer look at countercultural life when Rolling
Stone calls with an assignment: Hit the road with a Midwestern band that’s about to break into the big time, and transform the experience into 1000 well-chosen words. It’s Fugit’s character, though, who ultimately is trans formed by his short, strange trip with the group. Billy Crudup and Jason Lee play the lead guitarist and singer of Stillwater, a sort of corn-fed Led Zeppelin. Kate Hudson costars as the bewitching Penny Lane, a groupie who chooses to see herself as a “band aid,” an appreciator of and muse for the group’s music. She acts as the boy’s guide through the backstage world of sex, drugs, bus rides and bickering. Crudup forms an alliance with the young journalist from the first, but proves an elu sive interviewee, instead rambling off the record about how the group is holding him back and how he might leave to start a solo career. As the deadline approaches, it becomes clear not only that Fugit may not get his story turned in on time, but that he might not have the true story at all. In the final days spent with his now high-flying heroes, Fugit comes to know another, darker side of priv ilege and fame, witnessing first hand the way personal relation ships and values can be thrown out of balance when celebrity and
unconditional adoration enter the equation. W hat makes Almost Famous different from most movies about rbek stars is the sharp focus it maintains on the humanity of its characters. In the days and weeks they spend together, some become better people. Others, of course, do not. But it’s as people, and not as chemical-ingesting caricatures, that Crowe caringly presents each of them. The result is a celluloid look at the place and time that is unique in cinema. Almost Famous isn’t as dewyeyed cute as Jerry Maguire, Crowe’s most mainstream film. At first glance, it’s possibly not as stirring and solidly told a story as Say Anything. Those films had the benefit of great romances and other dramatic elements that Crowe didn’t work into this pic ture. The story told here is so loosely knit that it occasionally seems in danger of drifting off on a soft breeze. W hat it does have in generous supply is humor, goodheartedness and deep feeling. For the music they make or write about or simply embrace, for the life they get to live while doing so, for the moment in his tory they inhabit, and for one another, the characters in Cameron Crowe’s latest have a whole lotta love, indeed. And, as a great man once observed, that is sometimes all you need.©

turns THE FUNKY MIRACLE (UMH )
that came down on the other side struggled just as much as we did.” On the radio airwaves, Mr. Hirten also responded to the com ments of UVM Philosophy Professor H ila ry Kornblith carried in this space last week and pub lished in their entirety on the op ed page of the Rutland Herald. In letters to the Freeps, the professor objected to the papers decision to ignore the anti-Semitism story. Hirten called Kornblith up and asked him if he was Jewish, noting if he was then he obviously “had an axe to grind.” At first Hirten denied making the remark, but a few minutes later contradicted himself and owned up to it. But despite Hirten’s best efforts to keep the Rome/Dwyer story away from his readers, Freeps columnist S am H e m in g w ay broke the wall of censorship. True to form, Sam the Sham couldn’t resist the temptation to dis a hot story that appeared in Seven Days first. So the “state news colum nist” for Vermont’s worst daily left his loyal readers puzzled with an oblique, one-sentence reference to the story every other daily news paper in Vermont carried. Without explanation or detail of any sort, Insipid Sam portrayed the charges of anti-Semitism as “a public attack on [Dwyer] that was far more curious for its timing than its substance.” No substance, Sam? Or more substance than you’re used to han dling? By the way, doesn’t Gannett’s emphasis on diversity extend to Jews? Maybe not. Very strange newspaper. Dubie, Doobie, Do? — Had the jet pilot in the lieutenant gover nor’s race been flying that day, he would have had to eject. Instead, B rian Dubie of Essex Junction stood boldly on the Statehouse steps last week and made a boobie. A big boobie. Candidate Dubie had sched uled an 11 a.m. press conference at the WCAX-TV Montpelier studio. Unbeknownst to him, Ruthless Ruth Dwyer had booked an 11 a.m. event on the Statehouse steps, with a 40-member cast of homeschooled kids and parents trucked in to act as her backdrop. Her topic — education. Dubie Do and three handlers showed up and Dwyer gave him the okay to piggyback on her show. Hey, the props were already there. The podium was there and the press was there. Captive audience. But also in the audience was Education Commissioner David W o lk s new communications chief, ex-reporter D iane Derby. Derby was there to bird-dog what Ruthless had to spout. Dwyer gave her standard pitch for charter schools. You know, schools set up so that my little gifts from God don’t have to rub shoulders with your mangy, little heathen brats. Nothing new there. But Ms. Derby’s jaw dropped when she heard Dubie Do speak. “Today in the paper, Commissioner Wolk has a quote,” declared Dubie, addressing his biggest press gallery so far on the campaign trail. Brian whipped out that day’s edition of The Burlington Free Press and highlighted the arti cle by L is a R a th k e of the
Associated Press. He read aloud _ what he said were the words of the education commissioner. “My hope is that in Vermont,” read Dubie Do, “we will come to rely on one form of assessment — a standardized statewide test — to. determine whether or not a stu dent will be promoted and gradu^ » ate. Shocking. Orwellian. And completely untrue. See, Candidate Dubie just skipped over the most important word in the Wolkmeister’s pub lished quotation — “never.” As in “My hope is... we will never come to rely on one form of assess ment...” Derby bit her cheek and waited for Dubie’s press conference to break up. The Derbs slid up to the jet jockey and expressed concern that he had just totally misrepre sented her boss position. All he’d had to do, said Derby, was read the words in front of him correctly. Dubie Doobie Do didn’t put up a fight. The statewide political rookie apologized like an officer and a gentleman. “If I read that wrong, I apologize,” he said. “It was not intentional.” Hey, first time jitters. Give him a second chance. “All I can ask,” said Ms. Derby, “is that you be very careful from here on out when you quote things.” Betcha he will. C la s s W arfare? — Finally, after years of haggling, the traffic started flowing Saturday as the biggest transportation controversy to hit suburban Colchester continued. No, it’s not the CIRC Highway. It’s the BurlingtonColchester bicycle ferry! The ferry service runs across the mouth of the Winooski River where the old railroad bridge used to stand. It will operate weekends through the fall. The ferry connects Burlap’s beautiful bikepath with points north. Unfortunately, some residents of the nouveau riche, split-level ranch neighborhood north of the ferry have been behaving badly. They’ve acted as if hordes of unwashed, drunken, drug-dealing motorcycle gangs from the big bad city were about to invade their pristine, family-values homeland, steal their gas grills and kidnap their children. Ah, yes, the call to arms. US against THEM. The timeless battle of the ages. Me and mine against you and yours. Not in my back yard! Makes you proud to be a member of the human community, doesn’t it? Okay, let’s go to war! How about toll booths on the Beltline as it enters the Queen City from sub urbia? Say, five bucks to get into Burlington? How about a citywide ban on Shadow Cross Farm eggs, which, like the selfish, small-mind ed bike ferry opponents, also get laid in Colchester? Or perhaps a new ordinance requiring non-resi dents to obtain a $50 license to ride or Rollerblade on the Burlington bikepath. Hey, it’d lower our property taxes. Screw them\ Just kidding, of course. Colchester is chock-full of wonder ful people. Upstanding, hard-work ing citizens. Good neighbors. It’s always just a few rotten apples who spoil the bunch. ®

their product i f you consume three drinks or more a day, but my impression was that the dangerfrom nonaspirin analgesics wasfar more serious than most people realize and not limited to daily drinkers. Are we losing a large number of weekendparty animals to this combination oflibation and hangover relief I f so, why hasn't it become common knowledge? — BDR, Chicago
Dear Cecil, I recently overheard an individual in the medical profession state that the current leading cause of liver failure is actually “the com bined use ofacetaminophen (i.e., Tylenol) and alcohol rather than alcohol alone. "Most pain relievers provide a warning against using
Beats me. No less than Sam Donaldson has reported on the danger, so it’s not like the media have been hiding this under a bushel. However, coverage often meets with skepticism and com plaints of scaremongering. So let me put the issue as objec tively as I can. Tylenol is the most popular pain reliever in the U.S. Tens of billions of doses of it and other aceta minophen-based products are consumed each year. For the overwhelming majority of users these medicines work as advertised and are completely safe. However, you do face the slight chance of abrupt death. Acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause of acute liver failure, even if we leave alcohol out of the picture. According to one study, it accounts for 20 percent of cases (Schiodt et al., Liver Transplantation and Surgery, January 1999). An as-yet-unpublished follow-up puts the number even higher — 30 percent. Acute liver failure isn’t that common. Still, 70,000 cases of acetaminophen toxicity are reported each year. The real problem with drugs like Tylenol is that the dif ference between a therapeutic (that is, medically effective) dose and a toxic one is surprisingly small. In adults the maximum safe dosage is 4 grams (eight 500-milligram tablets) over a 24-hour period. The toxic dose is a mere 7 grams taken all at once. You can make the margin even thinner by drinking too much and eating too little. I’ll spare you the biochemistry, but basically acetaminophen and alcohol in combination overwhelm the liver’s ability to remove toxins from your bloodstream. At the same time, starving yourself reduces the liver’s output of glutathione, a natural detoxicant produced in response to food. The upshot is that heavy drinkers (two or more drinks per day) who don’t eat can suffer worse liver damage from Tylenol than people who OD on purpose. O f 71 patients treated at a
Dallas medical center for acetaminophen overdose, 50 were attempted suicides and 21 were victims of an accidental overdose (Schiodt et al., New EnglandJournal ofMedicine, October 1997). The would-be suicides on average took twice as much of the drug as the accidental victims. Yet far more of the latter went into a coma (seven versus three) and died (four versus one). Why? Because most of the accidental victims were alcoholics. Five peo ple — three accidental victims, two attempted suicides — over dosed on less than 4 grams, the claimed safe dosage for 24 hours. Let’s not forget kidney damage. A December 1994 study in The New EnglandJournal of Medicine found that a daily tablet of acetaminophen for a year or 1000 pills over a lifetime doubled the odds of kidney failure. It’s not clear from the medical literature what happens if you take acetaminophen after a one-time bender (as opposed to chronic alcohol abuse). But don’t substitute some other painkiller — aspirin and ibuprofen can have side-effects too. Better to be suffering than dead. Dear Cecil, After reading your bizzare and wildy inaccurate column [about the world’s tallest building, July 19] I contacted the CN Tower’s PR department and verified its height at 553.55 meters, as we say in Canada, or 1815 feet and 5 inches in a language Cecil and his ilk would understand. My guess is that since Toronto is sc far from Chicago, Cecil may not have heard of it. — The Marquis, via the Straight Dope Message Board This is so pathetic. Whenever anybody in the universe writes about the world’s tallest buildings, he gets letters from ticked-off Canadians. This is because the CN Tower is never included, on the grounds of its not being a building. It is so! shriek les habi tants. I’ve been inside it! It’s got restaurants and an observation deck and stuff! Sorry, Pierre. The CN Tower isn’t primarily a building. It’s primarily an antenna. If we counted antennas, I could get 3000 feet of copper wire, tie one end to a balloon and the other to a cell phone in my pup tent (I’ve been inside it!), and bingo — world’s tallest building. One curls one’s lip. So get over it, Canadians. You want to call the CN Tower a building, fine. But I think I speak for the rest of the world when I say it looks like rabbit ears to me. — CECIL ADAMS

IT’S AUTOMATIC IN ALL-WHEELDRIVE LEGACY
of changing gears every five sec onds in stop-and-go traffic (my knees aren’t up to it). Can I get the automatic?
Dear Tom and Ray: I ’ve been teasing Subaru Legacy wagons for the past five years. My lease is up this month, and / intend to lease yet another Legacy wagon. However, I’m getting older, and I am consid ering an automatic transmission instead of my usual manual. I ’m somewhat concerned, however, about mixing all-wheel drive with an automatic transmission. I recently read that while Subaru manual transmissions divide the power equally among all four wheels, automatics are split 90-10 front and back, with some fancy-schmancy, highly sensitive, computerized gizmo that distributes the power according to need. Are you aware of any differences in roadworthiness ofAWD Legacies with automatics vs. manuals? Is one safer than the other? Does one have better traction in snow, sleet or rain? I ’m really getting sick and tired
RAY: Sure you can, Jeffrey. You’re essentially correct about Subaru using two different all wheel-drive (AWD) systems. But they’re certainly both safe, and in our experience, they perform equally well in bad weather. TOM: The manual-transmis sion Legacies use a purely mechanical, fluid-based AWD system. It distributes the power equally to the front and rear axles until one of the axles starts to spin. Then the fluid representing that axle heats up, gets thicker and directs more power to the wheels that are N O T slipping. It’s a triedand-true system, and it works well — as you can attest. RAY: On the automatic Legacies, Subaru uses a com puter-controlled AWD system that normally sends most of the power to the front wheels. And when the computer detects slippage, it reroutes up to 50 percent of the power to the rear wheels to keep you going. And that system works
—fiffiey
well, too. TOM: In fact, the system Subaru uses with the automat ic Legacies is actually more sophisticated than the mechanical system you’re used to. It shares a computer with the electronically controlled automatic transmission, and it can respond even more quick ly to input from the wheels. So I wouldn’t hesitate to go automatic. RAY: Plus, with an automatic you can use that newly freedup right hand to rub some Mentholatum Deep Heating Rub into your knees, Jeffrey. Dear Tom and Ray: I recently bought a 2000 Toyota Tundra. I am very disap pointed in the cruise control. Afier buying it, I found that if you allow the speed to drop below 25 mph, the cruise con trol shuts offand you have to reset the speed again. The dealer told me that nothing could be done about it, but I don’t believe that. Is there a way to fix this problem? — John TOM: The dealer is right, in that it’s not a mechanical problem, John. It’s a safety feature, and it’s designed to work that way. RAY: Cruise control was creat ed so you could rest your right
foot when you’re driving at the same speed for a long peri od of time. That typically happens on, say, an empty highway, where neither pedes trians, nor other traffic, nor sharp turns are likely to cause you to have to adjust your speed suddenly. TOM: When you’re driving at 25 mph or less, chances are you’re NOT driving on a highway. Chances are you’re driving in town, where the conditions are exactly the opposite. Around town, pedestrians or children might jump out, cars might come out of driveways or other streets, and the contour of the road might change suddenly. RAY: So in their wisdom, car makers (and probably the insurance industry) made it impossible for the cruise con trol to work below certain speeds, to discourage people from using cruise control in settled areas where accidents are much more likely to hap pen.. TOM: And while there proba bly is some sort of micro-elec tronic fix that would override this prohibition, we don’t know what it is. And even if we did, we wouldn’t tell you, because you shouldn’t be using the cruise control around town. Sorry, John.

September
2000
A R IE S
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I’m not predicting that your whole life will flash before your eyes. But I do foresee that someone else’s life will glimmer and whoosh across your gaze maybe even more than one someone. Be alert for pithy slips of the tongue, sudden drops in temperature, strange behavior by animals, and other pre monitory marvels. You could be called upon to save a soul at a moment’s notice. It may be only a matter of pulling a thorn out of a paw or a rabbit out of a hat. But it could demand an exercise as strenu ous as forgetting all about your own needs.
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-May 20): Each of us can draw on the powers of all of the signs. For instance, I am primarily a Cancer with a Libran accent, but I regularly call on help from the Aries archetype. I find that it fuels my rebellious yearning to change everything for the better. It ensures that my anger is directed at the right targets and inspires me not just to complain but to actually put my ass on the line on behalf of my ideals. And what does this have to do with you, Taurus? Well, I believe you’re wading into a potential morass disguised as a comfy pit stop. To pre pare yourself, I recommend that you cultivate a clear, hot Aries-style feisti ness.
G E M IN I (May 21-June 20): If you’re an evangelical Christian, I bet you’ll be inspired in the coming week to speak in tongues and writhe on the floor for hours laughing hysterically at God’s jokes. If you’re a dotcom geek, I predict you’ll be able to subli mate and channel some of your sexu al prowess into dreaming up business ideas that may ultimately turn you into a jillionaire. And if you’re just a plain old ordinary seeker, Gemini, the days ahead could bring you yayas that render you so gaga you’ll have no trouble understanding the term “spir itual orgasm.”
—
l ogy
--------------------------1
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): Rationality junkies scornfully call me a fortune teller. They say I pander to people’s superstition and narcissism. They lump me in the same category as the hacks who write the generic “horrorscopes” for daily newspapers. But I reject these descriptions. I call myself a poetic depth-psychologist working to jiggle your imagination with late-breaking news from the realm of the soul. Take a cue from me, my fellow Cancerian, and don’t let others define who you are or what you do. Seize the power to name yourself. Refuse to be squeezed into any categories, expectations or images — except those that squeeze you just the way you like.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Did you hear about the experiment testing the benefits of visualization exercises? Two groups were enlisted for a month-long program to boost their accuracy at shooting a basketball. One group practiced 20 minutes a day. Those in the other group didn’t actually practice, but visualized them selves shooting baskets for 20 minutes a day. Results? The group that literal ly practiced improved 56 percent. The visualizers jacked up their aver age an amazing 52 percent. Moral of the story, as far as you Leos are con cerned: If you’re too lazy or busy this week to actually upgrade your com munication habits, at least visualize yourself scheduling powwows and making lots of phone calls and writ ing long-postponed letters. V IR G O (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know the real golden rule: He who owns the gold, rules. And though it hurts me, as a spiritually correct seek er, to formally recognize this lying truth of hypercapitalism, it’s also my
obligation as your kamikaze therapist to give you a zen whack in the pocketbook now and then — especially when your poverty consciousness threatens to squelch your pressing need to stretch your abilities. I des perately want you to do more of what you love, Virgo! So get out there and scare up the resources you need to do it. The cosmos will provide unexpect ed help if you can just find a way to believe passionately in the seemingly impossible.
L IB R A (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Should I get three new ear-piercings or a tattoo of my consort Suzanne’s astrological chart on my arm? Should I shave the sides of my head and grow a goatee, or should I buff up my pecs and buy sessions at a tanning salon? These are some of the deep spiritual questions that are swimming around my meditations these days. I hope to Goddess you’re concerned with equally heady matters, Libra. Like, for instance, should you merely alter your image or should you radi cally reinvent it? Should you get your teeth whitened, your hair tinted, and your wardrobe revamped? Or should you try cosmetic surgery, buy a plat inum blonde wig, and adopt a new nickname? One way or another, I believe it’s time to have fun experi menting with your persona. S C O R P IO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What would you do if you were lost in a strange country, with miles of wilderness stretching out before you on all sides? In her autobiogra phy, the writer Eudora Welty recounted the counsel her father gave her as a child. “Look for where the sky is brightest along the horizon,” he said. “That reflects the nearest river. Strike out for a river and you will find habitation.” Keep that in mind,
Scorpio, if you find yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere in the com ing weeks. And by the way, that’s good advice even if you’re securely ensconced at home but feeling adrift in a metaphorical sense. Make your way to the mighty river that runs through the heart of your vision of paradise.
S A G IT T A R IU S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Quoting leading geneti cists, writer Guy Murchie says we’re all family. You have at least a million relatives as close as tenth cousin, and no one on Earth is any farther removed than your 50th cousin. Murchie also describes our kinship through an analysis of how deeply we share the air. With each breath, you take into your body 10 sextillion atoms, and — owing to the wind’s ceaseless circulation — over a year’s time you have intimate relations with oxygen molecules exhaled by every person alive, as well as by everyone who ever lived. At this moment, you may be carrying atoms that were once inside the lungs of Malcolm X, Janis Joplin, Christopher Columbus and Cleopatra. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because it’s the perfect astrological moment to contemplate, celebrate and exploit your interrelatednessi
want to try things It doesn’t gY think you can or should do.
A Q U A R IU S
20
Feb. 18): Cue the footage of the Earth from space with the soundtrack from Mozart’s “Jupiter” symphony. Now fade to a thousand-foot water fall plunging from a rainbowcrowned mountain. Zoom to a crystal ball resting in pure white snow at one end of the rainbow. Focus in on a close-up inside the crystal ball, reveal ing Aquarius standing on tiptoes on the mountaintop, arms thrust in the air towards a bald eagle swooping overhead. Cue Aquarius laughing fiercely, followed by triumphant shouts of “I can see for miles and miles and miles.”
P I S C E S (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Rightwing religious zealots suffer from the bizarre hallucination that homosexuals can and should be con verted into heterosexuals. Their fanat ical ignorance stirs childhood memo ries of my grandparents’ wacky attempts to get my brother and sister to stop being left-handed and switch over to the One True Way of righthandedness. Maybe you’ve never been subjected to cruel manipulations as literal as these examples, Pisces, but no doubt you’ve had to endure some other idiotic pressure to change an aspect of your nature that came nat ural. This is the time and place to heal and correct for that false “correc tion.” ® • jfy
C A P R IC O R N (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Many people who claim to believe in God really believe in noth ing more than the image of an aus tere, finger-shaking father figure that lives solely in their own minds. (Which is not to say a sexier God doesn’t exist.) Other people enthrone an equally crude phantasm, but call it by different names, like Conscience or Inner Critic.

Dear Lola, My boyfriend has just been offered a great job in San Francisco, and he’s been begging me to marry him and move out west with him. I like him a lot, and I don’t want to lose him, but I’m frankly more worried about giving up my own job. I love my co-workers, I’m never bored and I get up every morning lock ing forward to the day. Sc many people hate what they do; I doubt that I could find some thing half as good as what I have now. On the other hand, I’ve met lots of people who seem like they might make as good a life partner as my boyfriend. Am I being stupid not to jump at this chance? Comfortable in Colchester Dear Comfortable, Sounds to me like you’ve already made up your mind, your commitment to your work clearly trumps what you’ve got going with your boyfriend. Now it’s up to him to decide which he wants more his fancy job on the coast, or you. —
Love,
