“Ken Starr disguised as Monica Lewinsky.”

— Mark Hails

w “I tfttiifca tutu i$ > , | always a classic for any one — simple, light, ele ga n t Hilary would look foxy in a tutu.”

PROGRESSIVES NEEDED I remain perplexed at colum nist Peter Freyne’s strong negativi ty toward Burlington Representatives Dean Corren and Terry Bouricius. Freyne would rather create a good laugh than be accurate. As Progressives, Corren and Bouricius have been doing something for years that no one else in Montpelier seems to: they challenge the establishment. Like two Davids against the Goliath of Vermont’s two-party political system, Corren and Bouricius are defending Vermont’s environment, trying to make the tax system fair for families with limited incomes, and standing up for Vermonters’ civil rights. Without them, we’d all be left at the mercy of the Democrats and Republicans who are more focused on satisfying lobbyists, special interests and big business than in working for the needs of regular Vermonters. I for one am delighted that Representatives Corren and Bouricius have been a thorn in the side of all the big-party politicians. Average Vermonters need someone fighting on their side, and Corren and Bouricius have done so effec tively for years. And the best part is that they do more than just raise the difficult issues — they often win. A perfect example from the last biennium is the Earned Income ’ Tax Credit, which puts money back in the pockets of working low-income families. Democrats and Republicans cut the program, but Dean Corren and Terry Bouricius pieced together a win ning coalition in the House to fight for its restoration. Neither of

the big old parties were willing to champion the issue, but the Progressives were. The EITC is just one example of why Vermont needs Progressive legislators in Montpelier. As a candidate for the Statehouse myself, I look forward to having the opportunity to work with Dean Corren and Terry Bouricius on the important issues that the big-party politicians are afraid to tackle. — Steve Hingtgen Burlington BENEFITS PACKAGE I look forward to each Seven Days! “Life in Hell” is my kind of humor! I have also benefited by your ads from the Vitamin Connection and Spirit Dancer. Keep up the great comedy, articles and ads! — Barbara Poper Peru, New York TO VERB OR NOT TO VERB I was grateful that Rick Kisonak wrote about the troubling issue of dwindling verb usage by newscasters [Tube Fed: “The Unspeakable Truth,” October 7]. My notice of this phenomenon has had a much smaller sample, revolving around Tom Brokaw and his influence on the entire NBC news team. I watch Tom, and only Tom, because of my longstanding crush on him.. .but he has really fallen out of favor in the last year. It’s verbs in general, yes, but verbs of being in particular that he eschews so doggedly. Just listen to his lines as the stirring opening music plays: “Tonight, a presiden cy in crisis! Congress voting for impeachment hearings! The presi

dent, subdued and resigned. And Kosovo! A tiny place unfamiliar to so many Americans. But, the chil dren! Later tonight, the small town drugstore — driven out of business by big chains. The chang ing face of retail, tonight on NBC Nightly News.” Whether Tom’s influence on NBC’s other reporters is overt or covert is what I keep wondering. Correspondents reporting from all corners on all topics seem to be mimicking his no-verbs-of-being style. On top of that, they’ve taken up doing the physical little hop he does on words he wants to empha size. On Tom, I always thought it was cute. On Fred Francis, forget it. At any rate, I look forward to Part II. — Victoria Beliveau Jericho STUDENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR OWN BEHAVIOR I am writing in response to the recent drunken disturbance in downtown Burlington and the subsequent media coverage and speculation about the role of local colleges in controlling the behav ior of their students off-campus. It has been suggested that the col leges withhold degrees from stu dents that have unpaid citations for noise violations or other offenses. This is preposterous! What business is it of the colleges what their students do off-cam pus? These people are young adults who are responsible for their own actions. Drunken incidents involv ing students may reflect poorly on their colleges, but that does not give them the right to police stu dent behavior off-campus. I

— M. Doughty Lead singer for Soul

attended the University of Vermont and I resent the notion that because I attended classes there, they had something to say about what I did off-campus. My life outside of school was entirely my business and my responsibility. Students are not the property of the schools they attend. UVM should tend to its business of edu cating students intellectually and leave issues such as maturity and enlightenment to the individual. Dealing with drunken riots, if that’s what this was, is the city’s problem. If the colleges were to intervene, it would only perpetu ate the conditions which caused the disturbance, as well as waste time and resources, as this is a social problem, not an administra tive one. It will take more than meetings between police and City Hall. As with most social prob lems, these are the last people that should be dealing with it. These institutions destroy community through their self-serving, bureau cratic practices. If this is how we are going to handle this problem, then we have already failed, since we have relinquished our rights and responsibilities and the power to solve our problems ourselves. — Kevin Robinson Shelburne L e tt e rs P o lic y : S E V E N D A Y S w a n ts y o u r ra n ts and ra v e s, in 2 5 0 w o rd s or le s s.

Nitty Gritty Time

Okay, baby, its the homestretch now. Crunch time for Vermont politicos. Miracles do happen, but GOP insiders do not expect Fred Tutde, M ark Candon or Ruth Dwyer to upset their incumbent opponents. They say the most “strategic” races are those for the 30 seats in the Vermont senate and for Lite-Gov. Its all out political war. Take the race for the two state senate seats in Addison County. The incumbents are Sens. Elizabeth Ready (D) and Tom Bahre (R). For some reason Addison County insists on being represented by the two opposite extremes of the politi cal spectrum. Chainsaw Liz has locked horns with the other Republican in the race, Joe Acinipura. Following their heated debate on WFAD, there was an incident which has real ly got the fur flying. Chainsaw says that following the debate, Joe approached her outside the studio, “stroked” her upper arm and — better sit down for this one — called the senior senator from Addison County “babe.” Chainsaw tells Inside Track Mr. Acinipura “almost lost a few fingers.” Subsequently, she fired off a letter to him calling his behavior “unprofessional.” She also enclosed a copy of the senate policy on sexual harass ment. “He’s a touchy guy,” says Ready. She says she even heard complaints about Mr. Touchy from ladies at the senior center in Joe’s home town of Brandon. Acinipura tells Inside Track Ready was quite “nasty” during the broadcast debate. Among other hits, Chainsaw “slam-dunked” him on his $ 1000 campaign contribution from Jack McMuffin, er McMullen, or whatever the hell that guys name is. So Joe walked up to her afterwards, he says, and said, “Hey, babe, let’s not be so nasty next time.” Joe says he has apologized. “We all misspeak in life,” he says. That goes for “babes,” too. Acinipura says Sen. Ready called him a “communist” at the Northlands Job Corps Center in Vergennes and she has yet to apologize for that! Not true, says Chainsaw. “Chances are I called myself a communist,” says Ready, “for supporting increasing the minimum wage.” Chainsaw admits to Inside Track, however, she’s “been called worse,” but “didn’t appreciate hearing it from the likes of Acinipura.” Perhaps we should change Chainsaw’s nom de guerre to “Senator Babe?” But if we did that, the Vermont Republican Party would accuse us of stealing the title from Republican State Sen. Helen Riehle. Two years ago Helen of Troy just hung on for the last spot in the six-seat Chittenden County state senate cluster scrum. This time she isn’t taking anything for granted. Recently on WKDR, Riehle declined to endorse fellow Republican Ruth Dwyer for governor. Helen voted for Act 60. Ruthless wants to repeal it. And Ruth is pro-life, while Helen is pro-choice. Helen says that at a recent Republican rally, “almost every issue Ruth cited as an example of what’s wrong with government was something I worked on.” Helen didn’t endorse Ruth because, as we now know, she has the the endorsement of Democrat Howard Dean. In her campaign ad, Ho-Ho says that even though Helen “is not of my party,” she offers “strong, quiet capable leadership in the Vermont tradition.” Helen says Ho-Ho offered his endorsement at the end of the legislative session. According to Sue Allen, the Gov’s mouthpiece, Senator Babe, sorry, Sen. Helen Riehle, is the only Republican Ho-Ho is endorsing this year. The Dean endorsement “cuts both ways,”

says Riehle. She suspects the Republican hier archy is “not happy” with it and she’s right. Riehle has also reached out to the gay com munity in a letter published in the October issue of Out In The Mountains. “As a Republican,” writes Riehle, “I am acutely aware of the potential stereotyping around political issues that can be applied to me.” She cites her record of support for anti-discrimina tion measures, funding for Vermont CARES, and adoption policies that allow “same-sex couples to adopt.” And the Ds took a hit last weekend when Sen. Jean Ankeney was hos pitalized after she fell and broke her hip in Boston. She was released Tuesday and will be back on the campaign trial next week on crutches. Ankeney and Sen. Jan Backus are considered shooins. Word is the party’s gonna make a special direct mail push for Jim Leddy and Janet M unt in order to nail down a third seat and split the delegation 50-50. As for Lite-Gov, what’s happened to Doug Racine? Democratic insiders concede Doug’s in trouble. And his TV commercials really suck, too. Barbara Snelling’s TV spot is the best out there. “If the unexpected happens,” and Babs pulls it out, well, “she’s been down that road before.” Ruthless Rising? — Gov. Dean is riding the crest of huge leads in the polls as he heads for reelection. But no question, Ruthless Ruth is gaining momentum following her stalwart showing in Sunday’s Ch. 3 debate. Even diehard liberals who’ve dismissed her without ever seeing her in action were impressed. How the hell can a right-winger be so refreshing, they ask? Ruthless was so sharp Sunday that Monday morning our Democratic sources changed their forecasts for Ruth the Truth’s showing on Nov. 3 from “under 40 percent” to 44-45 percent. Just imagine if she’d raised some serious money and was all over TV like the incumbent? Wants to get rid of the Governor’s Commission on Women, does she? Wants to throw Success By Six over the side, does she? Wants to repeal Act 60, does she? Wants abor tion back in the Vermont criminal statutes, does she? Ten years ago, a right-wing chattermouth like Ruth Dwyer wouldn’t have had a prayer of making a dent in Vermont’s liberal political veneer. That was then. This is now. If you missed the Dean-Dwyer head-tohead last Sunday, tune in this Sunday, Oct. 25, at 6 p.m. for Ch. 5’s version. News director Stewart Ledbetter says the one-hour show• down at the McCarthy Arts Center will have a live audience of 350 and a “wide-open Phil Donahue-style format.” In O ther News — The New York Post reported Tuesday that Jerry Seinfeld’s new honey is Jessica Sklar. Jessica, a 1989 Burlington High School grad, dumped her new hubby, “theater scion” Eric Nederlander, right after their threeweek honeymoon in Italy this summer. And dig UVM’s new men’s ice hockey jer seys. They’re the result of a three-year deal with Nike, and they certainly eliminate the Hockey Cats “pussycat” image. Next, they’re gonna rename the “penalty box” the “litter box.” Just kidding. And Channel 22’s Tiffany Burns is off to a morning anchor job at KTVZ in Bend, Oregon. Bon Voyage! Correction — Got Kevin Leahy’s law school wrong last week. He’s a graduate of Emory University School of Law in Atlanta and prac ticed for six years in Baltimore before returning to his roots. Mea culpa. ®

Stop! We’ll Pay! Determined to make a dent in the $3.5 billion owed the government in back taxes, Ukrainian Prime Minister Valery Pustovoitenko announced a crackdown on tax dodgers that resorts to boredom to make them pay. The plan calls for the top 1500 delinquents to be moved to a military base near Kiev, where they will live in tents and listen to civil defense lec tures on preparing for natural disasters until they fork over the money.

Black Like Me People keep making life hard for President Clinton because he’s really black, according to author Toni Morrison. She told the Washington Post that the presi dent shows all the signs: “Single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxo phone-playing, McDonald’sand-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas.”

Out of Sight, Out of Mind City officials in Paris sus pended a librarian for two years after discovering that he had removed between 75 and 300 books about Muslims and the Arab world from the branch where he worked near the Place de la Bastille. Reuters news agency reported that the man had been considered a model worker until two years ago, when he began making anti-Muslim comments at work. After his co-workers noticed an unusual number of missing books on Islam, an investigation revealed that the man forged 25 library cards with Arabic-sounding names, then used each one to check out and destroy up to five books at a time.

Abdel-Latif, 62, learned that her husband, Sayed Ahmed, 84, had written a will leaving more land to his four children from his first wife than to the three he had with her, the 352-pound woman pushed the 121-pound man to the ground, then sat on his head until he suffocated. • A boat off the Massachusetts coast that was carrying hun dreds of passengers hoping to spot whales accidentally struck and killed a 20-foot minke whale. “Whale watch boats are getting faster and faster,” said Josef Treggor, a marine scien tist who was aboard studying whether choppy water makes it harder for whales to hear boats. “I think it is quite possi ble that the noise of the chop was a factor in this accident, unless that was a hearingimpaired whale.”

Police Department’s gang unit told the Salt Lake Tribune. He added that some vegetarian Straight Edgers have firebombed leather stores, vandal ized egg trucks and torched a McDonald’s.

Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck will remain under guard at the park, but 1000 of the park’s 8000 work ers will be allowed to wear their costumes to and from work, according to park spokesperson Ray Gomez, who added the park’s biggest fear is that some employees may pretend to lose their cos tumes and sell them on the black market to Disney collec tors. He said a gown for women working the Haunted Mansion ride, for example, would be worth $ 1000.

THE HORROR: It’ll be a shining moment for the English department. Or at least for professor Tony Magistrate, who specializes in books that go bump in the night. Mainiac novelist Stephen King is scheduled to make a March appearance at the University of Vermont — just in time for mud season. His two-day visit, which will include in-class time and a public appearance, is a coup for Magistrale, who is a long-time defend er of gothic writers. “He doesn’t do this sort of thing,” Magistrale says of King. “He doesn’t have to, and he doesn’t like to.” King is too busy cranking out novels to spend a lot of time talking to English students. A commercial writer who once likened his own book to “the literary equivalent of a Big Mac,” he has got the thriller genre nailed. Those terror-filled tales are not gory potboilers, Magistrale argues in his own works of liter ary criticism, but multi-layered examinations of collective fear. Scary, indeed, considering the visit is financed by the same pot of money that brought William Kennedy to campus two years ago. Who’s next? Anne Rice?

Vermont wages are fa llin g behind. O ur taxes are higher than ever before. I t’s tim e fo r some changes.

IN BRIEF: Move over, Jed Clampett. On Monday, U.S. Senate candidate Fred Tuttle is heading for Hollywood. The subject of stories in People, Time, Life and the Washington Post finally got the green light from “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and two first-class plane tickets to the West Coast. If the World Series goes to seven games, Tuttle will show up on Tuesday night after actor James Woods and Canadian rocker Bryan Adams — the same night Phish plays on Letterman. If the baseball winds up early, Tuttle is up on Wednesday with Deborah Messing and Kenneth Branagh. Perhaps the English actor-director will see something Shakespearean in the septuage narian star of Man with a Plan . . . You expect a few laughs on a tune billed as “the song America has been waiting for about the White House scandal.” But aside from the lyrics, “Anything Goes” is dead serious. Brookfield-based songwriter Bobby Gosh “wanted to make a statement” about the Lewinsky affair, and has enough connections in the biz to get his single distributed nationwide. Unfortunately, he croons with “We are the World” sincerity. “Liar, liar, pants on fire, do whatever you desire./Wag the finger, wag the dog, it’s all in the telephone log.” It ain’t the I Capitol Steps . . . Seven-and-a-half years after he replaced Jay Craven at Catamount Arts in St. Johnsbury, Executive Director Phil Reynolds is stepping down. “It’s a good move,” the quiet impresario says of his new job at the Dance Center of Colum bia College, which he describes as “the premiere presenter of contemporary dance in Chicago.” During his tenure at Cata mount, Reynolds not only maintained the quality and quantity of arts programming established by his predecessor. He success fully negotiated the financial fallout from the anti-culture “Contract with America” in one of the most economically chal lenged parts of Vermont. . . Marc Awodey is a work in progress. When he is not writing poetry or making his own art, he oversees the multi-media goings-on at Rhombus Gallery. After a year writing art reviews for Seven Days, he snagged the John Donoghue Award for arts criticism last weekend in a cere mony officiated by the Vermont Press Association. He brings a knowledge of art history, and direct experience, to his writings, which are as poetic as they are informative. Check out the critic as “subject” in the Red Square ad this week across from “Inside Track.”

PRINTS OF DARKNESS: Despite hellish images of war, crucifixion and public flogging, the current show of etchings, engravings and woodcuts at Dartmouth College promises to be divine. Over the weekend, the Hood Museum of Art unveiled art works culled from a gift of 257 priceless prints donated following the recent death of an art-loving Dartmouth alum. “Rarely does a museum receive a gift of such extraordi nary scope and consequence that its collection is, quite literally, transformed,” the press release reads. The works themselves are no less dramatic, sampling studios from all over Europe. At the heart of the show are 29 etchings by Rembrandt, exploring sacred and secular subjects with Dutch attention to detail. And there’s more where that came from: two rare Mantegna engrav ings, which are some of the earliest examples of Italian print making; 12 woodcuts that cover “The Large Passion” of German artist Albrecht Diirer; and from Francisco Goya, a series of prints that unflinchingly explore the savagery and bru tality of war. “Inferno” engravings by poet William Blake take the mayhem four steps further. “It’s a great opportunity to learn about printmaking as an art technique,” says exhibitions man ager Juliette Bianco, noting the fragility of the prints advises against long exposures to light. In other words, these works are not likely to surface again for a long, long time — unless, of course, you’re paying tuition. ©

LATINO LIFE What the Afro-Cuban All-Stars did for Caribbean music last Saturday at the Flynn, three artists hope to prolong in two dimensions. Dominican Republic painters Allejandro Torrens and Fabre Salient contribute uniquely different visions to “Caribbean Expressions,” an exhibit currently showing in the Flynn’s Gallery Space in Burlington. Meanwhile, Waitsfield photographer David Garten offers a fiesta of color images of Cuban musicians, “From Rumba to Timba,” that are as lively as their subjects. Left, Torrens’ acrylic on acrylic sheet, “Momento 302.”

D id you ever notice that some o f the lamest movies in theaters are awarded “two thumbs up” by Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel? Tell me these guys don’t make a little something under the table courtesy o f the big studios. I mention the digital duo because, for once, they’re right about a movie though they didn’t even agree. Siskel praised Practical M agic for being serious and somewhat innovative on the subject o f witchcraft. Ebert scoffed, calling the picture silly, a sitcom without big laughs. In fact, this is exactly the kind o f film that can leave a reviewer with a feeling o f almost total ambivalence; its minuses so precisely bal ance its plusses that the end result feels oddly like having not seen a movie at all. The second effort from actor-turned-director Griffin D unne, the film adapts Alice Hoffman’s 1995 best-seller about two present-day sisters who are descended from a long line o f sorceress es and heir to a family curse, to the effect that any man they truly love will meet with an untimely end. As if that weren’t enough grief for

two young girls to deal with growing up, everybody in their small town next to the ocean knows they’re witches and refuses to let them join in any reindeer games. Sandra Bullock’s character responds by eschewing magic and trying to assimilate into normal society. N icole Kidman’s instead runs o ff to the big city, where she winds up in equally big trouble. Eventually that trouble — in the form o f a boyfriend o f pure evil — follows Kidman back to her hom e town, and the two sisters team up to bring it down, with a little help from a visiting detective played by Aidan Quinn. Sound like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” meets Thelm a a n d Louise by way o f The CrafPSf/tW , throw in some eye o f newt, the heart o f a bat and a dash o f Sleepless in Seattle and you’ve pretty much got the idea. In defense o f the film: Hey, that’s not a com bi nation o f influences and motifs one runs into every day. This may be just another “witch m ovie,” but — be reasonable — how many are there, really? As opposed to, say, buddy films or bad W hoopi Goldberg comedies? Sure, there’s a certain earn-while-you-learn lumpiness to D unne’s direction in places, but in others I thought he displayed a gift for creating just the right imagery in a scene to underscore its mood. O n the down side, the picture’s kind o f a grab-bag o f feminist shorthand and chick-flick cliches. I mean, is there a federal regulation or something that mandates every film about wom en contain a silly scene in which em pow ered characters drink and do a funky dance to an old radio hit? Then, o f course, there’s Sandra Bullock, whose career seems to be under its own curse these days, and whose performance seems a tad flat and whiny beside Kidman’s comic friskiness. O n balance, Practical M agic reminds me o f a caramel apple one m ight give as a treat on Hallowe’en — occasionally fresh, tart and satis fying, but in the end, a bit o f a mess.

B y Je a n n e K e l l e r f you’re interested in the European-descended history o f this part o f North America, visit “G od’s hotel,” one o f the best museums in the area. Well, it sounds like “G od’s hotel,” but is really a hospital, Montreal’s H otel Dieu. The attached museum tells a story o f the history o f Montreal and the religious order that founded the hospital, and it’s a lot more interesting than one might sus pect. H otel D ieu was started by the Religious Hospitalers o f St. Joseph — the same order that founded Colchester’s Fanny Allen Hospital, which is now part o f the Fletcher Allen Health Care complex. The Religious Hospitalers o f St. Joseph began their mission in Montreal when Jeanne Mance, a young nun from a quiet convent in central France,

The soldiers built a stock ade, and inside the fort con structed the Hotel Dieu de Ville Marie — literally, the House o f God in the City o f Mary. In the following years, dozens o f nursing Sisters also sailed to the new settlement to join Mance. W hile they had come intending to minister to the Iroquois, the missionaries instead ended up nursing wounded colonists, who were living in a permanent state o f siege. But by 1695 — as you can see from the original Plan de l’Hotel D ieu de Montreal in the museum — there were buildings, gardens, a cloister and convent, as well as the hos pital. T he settlement o f Ville Marie would eventually become the city o f Montreal. T he Museum o f Religious Hospitalers is a beautiful new building attached to the old H otel D ieu hospital on Av. des

uncivilized outpost, where colonists were fighting to wrest the land from the aboriginal peoples she intended to care for. (W hen I pointed out to the museums directrice that my name also is Jeanne, she gave me a huge smile and said, “Quelle patronnesse!” What a patron, indeed.) The museum houses the original documents from the French King Louis XIV convey ing power to the Governor o f New France to act as the civil authority in Ville Marie. There is also a Royal Letter from Louis granting the land for Ville Marie to the religious order. The letter is signed in a flourish that puts John Flancock to shame: “Louis, par la Grace de D ieu, Le Roi de France et du Navarre” (“Louis, by the grace o f G od King o f France and Navarre”), and is sealed with a disc o f red wax nearly four inches across and three-quarters-inch thick. In the same beautiful dis play case you can also read the edict o f Pope Alexander VII, in January 1661, chartering the Religious Hospitalers o f St. Joseph in Ville Marie. Even a recovering Catholic and anti royalist can be deeply moved by the historical significance o f these sepia parchments. The museums section on the history o f the religious order itself includes an impres sive map o f their hospital mis sions in the N ew World, the development o f their nursing profession and the evolution o f medical education in Montreal. At the time o f my visit last summer, a temporary exhibit

upstairs highlighted some o f the religious sisters who had served as apothecaries or pharmacists in the earliest days o f the order — including Frances Margaret “Fanny” Allen. She was one o f the most skilled apothecaries in the history o f the Sisterhood, a specialist in the medicinal uses o f herbs found in this region. The hospital that bore her name in Colchester was the only facility built by the Religious Hospitalers in the United States, and was estab lished specifically to honor Fanny, the first Protestant con vert to join the order. She is still remembered and honored for her skills as an herbalist, even though the Hospitalers, like the rest o f the established medical system in North America, later would shun the use o f herbs in their healing practice — an irony worth noting. Throughout the Hotel Dieu museum are original maps, engravings, paintings, diaries and other documents, as well as vestments and altarpieces relat ing to the Catholic faith. There are also impressive — but not too scary — displays featuring the evolution o f medicine and medical instruments in North America. Even the white porce lain urn labeled “leeches” includes a bit o f whimsy: The handles on the urn are replicas o f the fat creatures. So, is this the place to visit if you happen to be in M ont real on Hallowe’en weekend? O nly if your idea o f “macabre” includes a weird item called the Thermaphore Electrique — which resembles a thin curling iron but was apparently used

for skin lesions and corneal neoplasms. O n the other hand, the trick-or-treat event as we now know it is, after all, the secularized version o f All Hallows’ Eve, which was origi nally the post-sunset prelude to All Souls’ Day, the Catholic holy day commemorating the dead. So even if the museum’s medical instruments don’t quite reach Les Craven standards, this is a very spiritual place, and one o f the best ways to honor the memory o f the brave and dedi cated wom en who gave their lives to nursing the sick in this strange N ew World. T he museum does not offer guided tours, except for large groups, but a couple o f very sweet, bilingual sisters are pleased and proud to explain the place and guide you to its most interesting parts. The dis play notations are also bilin gual. T he exhibits make it easy to follow the enormous changes that have overtaken the histori cal mission o f these Sisters — indicated in part by the evolu tion o f our own Fanny Allen Hospital into an American mega-health-complex. But the final display in the museum is particularly poignant: a huge replica o f a Quebec health insurance ID card. ® La Musee des Hospitaliercs de I’H otel D ieu is a t 201 A v des Pins Ouest.

“ITfeve w rittenm uch about many good places,” 1Edward Abbey once said. “But the best places o f all, I have never m entioned.” W ith apologies to Abbey, I fully intend to divulge here one o f Vermont’s best-kept secrets: the Stone H ut on Mt. Mansfield. But as the great writer him self -v liked to say about his desert hideouts, I wouldn’t advise you to rush out and jump in your automobile and think you can find it. True, the historic hut built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936 can be accessed by car via the Toll Road. And in winter, when it’s open to overnight guests, thousands o f skiers and riders pass Stowes original warming shelter every day. But like Mt. Mansfield itself, the treasures o f the hut reveal themselves only to those who work to gain access to her inner sanctum. And therein lies a story. It was a Friday evening, with darkness gaining on the early-December day, when my girlfriend Tricia and I nosed our vehicle into the parking lot at the Vermont State Ski Dorm. The dorm, like the hut, is man aged by the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps and serves as the “front desk” for Stone Hutters. N o bellhop, though. Your room is three miles and 2000 vertical feet away. For guests arriving when the resort is open and the lifts run ning, Stowe’s high-speed quad is available to whisk you up the mountain. But in a style for which Tricia and I have become famous, we missed our estimat ed time o f departure by a full two hours. We would have to hike, and, like so many past adventures, it would be in the dark. But this time, it was also snowing. As we set out up the Nosedive, a slope I’d skied so many times before, the flakes fell steadily down and the wind gusted overhead with an om i nous howl. By the midway mark, about the time I began to question all the luxuries in my

pack, the weather was in full frontal assault. The wind and snow pelted our faces, forcing us to take refuge under goggles and neck gaiters that quickly iced over with frost. Our mittens were visible at the end o f our arms, but navi gation was limited to trudging uphill in the direction that stole our breath, face into the wind. Biting her tongue, but perhaps cursing me quietly for being the cause our probable demise, Tricia’s progress slowed to a crawl as she waded into thighhigh snowdrifts. “We’re more than half-way there,” I shouted over the wind, trying to coax her along. “There’s the old timing shack that they used to use for races.” “Maybe we should stay there tonight?” came the response. For a m om ent, I mulled over the wisdom o f the “any port in a storm” theory. But it couldn’t happen; we had friends waiting up above. They might

worry, and besides, they’d offered to share coveted space in their hut with us. Getting weekend space in the Stone Hut is a little like buying concert tickets through mail-order: You put your money up front, meet the October 15 postmark require ment, and then pray you win the lottery. I’d seen enough Dead shows on scalped tickets to know I wasn’t likely to get a Stone H ut reservation on my own any time soon. Grasping a ski pole to make sure we stayed together, we finally reached the steep turns just below the hut. Call it a sign or a freak o f nature, but in the middle o f the blizzard light ning struck the mountain. The power o f the forces against us sent a shiver down our spines and thoughts o f retreat once again into our minds.

But from November to April, it becomes the domain o f in-the-know skiers and riders, who pay just C O $109 (less on weekdays) for o groups o f eight to 10 for the best ski in-ski out accommoda tions in town. Although the price has inched up o f late — partly to help cover the costs o f maintenance — the possibility o f beating the Patrol to fresh tracks on a powder day will always be priceless. As the sun broke through the Eastern sky early the morn ing after our excellent adven ture, I got up to use the facili ties next door. A foot o f fresh powder blanketed the m oun tain, and the storm’s last large flakes drifted innocently down ward. The chairlift sat at a standstill, a victim o f the light ning strike.

B y M a r ia l is a C a l t a on’t go to T he G ood Times Cafe in Hinesburg if you a want a “fine” dining experience. “G ood” is the operative word here. If you’d like to eat well, and inex pensively, it’s got all the essen tial ingredients. Folding w ooden tables and chairs, a well-worn w ood floor, a working, charred brick fire place, a large framed picture o f Cosm o Kramer — o f “Seinfeld” fame — and cool tunes on the sound system set the tone, which registers a nice big. zero on the Pretentiousness Meter. The help is friendly and the food tasty and filling. For getting together with a bunch o f friends, the G ood Times is just that. And the number o f kids swigging Stewart’s root beer and happily m unching at surrounding tables testifies that the place is family-friendly. I gathered a couple o f friends last week to accompany me to G ood Times, and we stuffed ourselves — purely in tta-interests o f research, o f course — on a variety o f dish es. T he restaurant offers basic food notable for excellent ingredients — Miskell toma toes, Lilydale bread, preserva tive-free meat toppings from the local Pork Schop — and made-from-scratch flavors. We ordered a cup o f the soup du jo u r ($1.95 for a cup; $3.25 for a bowl), which was billed on the m enu board as “clam chowdah,” and were wowed by the very generous portion o f chowder that tasted like clams, not cream. T he red

skinned potatoes were cooked through but not mushy. The soup was made, we learned later, by Tom Goullette, for merly o f Tom’s Riverside Grill in Bristol and Stir Crazy in W inooski. T he minestrone did not fare so well with my fellow critics: Too much pasta made it thick and floury-tasting, and it had that flavor I can only describe as “packaged.” Chefowner Chris Applin confessed later that this particular soup was purchased from a distribu tor because the restaurant’s res ident “Soup Lady” — Applin’s wife, Tracy Tomasi — has been too busy putting out her C D to make her signature vegetari an soups lately. Tomasi will, however, soon be back to her stock pot. Goullette, in the meantime, is an able replace ment. W ith his help Applin hopes to expand the Good Times menu to include more pasta dishes, as well as some gumbos and jambalayas. The m enu touted “new” garlic bread ($1.95), and young Aaron Wisniewski, resplendent in a dramatically dropping chef’s toque, deliv ered it to our table with the confession, “I have no idea why it says ‘new’ on the menu, but it was made within the hour.” It was also hot and gar licky, but next time I’d like to try the “O ld World Bread Dippers,” made with pizza dough, garlic, parmesan and mozzarella and served with a homemade dipping sauce. ($2.95) Then it was on to a 16inch, way-big pizza — Applin’s

signature dish that he learned to make under the tutelage o f Frank D ell’Amore at the nowdefunct Filomena’s in Burlington. The menu states proudly that each hand-rolled crust is made “without even a pinch’ o f salt or sugar.” Applin said he believes so many o f the toppings — olives, cheeses, anchovies, pepperoni, ham, meatballs, sausage and bacon among them — are salty enough to compensate. But the half o f our pizza that was “white” — ricotta, mozzarella,

The other half, with the “Greek” specialty toppings — feta, black olives, fresh spinach, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes — was better, but I’d still argue that “just a pinch” o f salt wouldn’t hurt. Pizzas range in price from $6.95 for a plain, 13-inch “Neapolitan” thin crust pizza, to $17.55 for a 10-by- 15-inch “Sicilian” thick crust specialty pizza, including Greek, W hite, Vegetarian, Pesto Chicken, “Carnivorous” and “G ood Times Special.” Add on topping options include all the usual suspects, plus sun-dried tomatoes, roasted green peppers, artichoke hearts and pesto. My friend Lisa was han kering for the homemade meatballs we had noticed on the menu, and duly consid ered a meatball sub ($3.25 for a small, $5.25 for a large), but decided at last on an order o f the meat lasagna — only to be informed it was sold out! She settled instead for an order o f vege tarian lasagna ($6.95 plain, $8.45 with a house salad), and asked for a helping o f meatballs on top, and forks for all three o f us. In retro spect, she should have left well enough alone: T he veg gie lasagna was full o f spinach, garlic and cheese — but not a lot o f pasta — and tasted just right by itself; the soupy red sauce with meatballs spooned on top seemed like overkill. We managed to plow our

way through the heaps o f food with the help o f a $13 bottle o f pretty decent Chianti from the restaurant’s eight-item wine list. Beers include Otter Creek, Magic Hat and Labatt’s Blue on tap, Guinness and a variety o f other imported beers and regional micro-brews in bottles. Our overall impression? “This is perfect,” said my friend Susan, who, though she studied cooking in France and has worked as a food editor, is no snob when it comes to good eats. Lisa, a food stylist with a degree from the Culinary Institute o f America, pronounced it “real food.” As we paid our bill, I noticed a teenage customer crumpled on the counter. “N o cookies!” she wailed, staring at the em pty cake plate, which usually holds a pile o f the restaurant’s “famous” 3-ounce, homemade chocolate-chip cookies. It’s the only dessert the restaurant offers — aside from a small freezer full o f Ben & Jerry’s pints and Peace Pops. T he teenager was out o f luck. We, however, were delight fully satisfied and felt no need for dessert. We paid our bill ($50 for three, including wine, tax and tip) and left vowing to return soon. Wednesday nights at G ood Times feature live music — the singing Soup Lady herself will play a set with gospel and r&b artist Terry Diers on November 18. “We opened this place three years ago, and it was sup posed to be fun,” said Applin, adjusting the colorful bandana he wears in lieu o f a c h e f s hat. “And it still is.” I’d second that. ®

AUTOMOTIVE

Non-MoronInduced Car Fires.

Dear Tom and Ray, I don't have a car, so I take the train to work every day. Between the train station and office building, my company runs a shuttle bus, which is a modified passenger van. After getting o ff the train this morning, I spotted the shuttle bus pulled over to the side o f the road, flames leaping — yes, leaping — from the engine and passenger compartment, and gray and black smoke billowing out o f the windows. The driver hadn't crashed. He ju st noticed the smoke and fire, pulled over, and got out. Something similar happened to a fie n d o f mine who had a used Docjge car. I'm curious about ju st how such a thing can happen. How do cars catch fire? — Alan TOM: Great question, Alan. We asked our Uncle Enzo, who lives in New Jersey, how a particular car catches fire, and he said he could arrange it for us. But I don't think he correctly under stood the nature of our inquiry. RAY: I'd say in four out o f five cases, car fires are electrical fires. And they’re often caused by exposed wires that went unno ticed after an accident. TOM: For example, someone will have an accident, and a bunch of wires will get pinched when a fender gets dented in. The body shop will fill up the fender with Bondo, but won't notice that some of the insula tion has been scraped off some wires. After awhile the wires start touching and rubbing together and cause a short cir cuit. RAY: You may not notice the smoke right away because you're driving 40 miles an hour, and the, stuff is blowing right by you.

But you're also fanning the flames by adding oxygen as you drive. And before you know it, everything under the hood, including the wire's insulation and all the spilled oil, is burning, and you've got to hurry up and run to the trunk to get marsh mallows. TOM: Sometimes short circuits can be caused by other factors: a repair job where a mechanic connected the wrong wires together or didn't adequately tape up a wiring job, a bad "home repair" (i.e., using the wrong fuse), or even a factory defect in the car's electrical sys tem. But accidents are the most common cause of electrical fires. RAY: Then there are oil fires. More common than gasoline fires, oil fires can start under the hood when a large amount of oil has been spilled or has leaked onto the hot exhaust manifold. And if the engine gets very hot or overheats, that oil can some times ignite. TOM: O f course, car fires have also been known to start at gas stations, when people leave their cars running and a spark ignites some vapors, or some knuckle head insists on smoking his Tiparillo while refueling. But I assume you were really asking about non-moron-inducing car fires, Alan.

Dear Cecil, I've always been intrigued, by the ancient custom in China o f binding womens feet. I've never seen an actual picture o f w hat they end up looking like b u t have heard them referred to as “lotus blossoms. ”Do they end up looking like a claw or ju st little tiny feet? Was this an attem pt to fu rth er control women by crippling them so they couldn't get away? — Jean, via AO L

Well, it sounds like an honest mistake. W hy don’t you go apologize to him ?

On the scale o f sick things that have been done to women in the name o f social custom — well, I guess clitoridectomy has to be at the top of the list. But foot binding is surely number two. (Those wasp-waisted Victorian corsets that distorted the rib cage are a good candidate for number three.) It was perpetuated by one o f the world’s great civilizations for a thousand years, during which time hundreds o f millions of women were crippled for life, in most cases by their own mothers. The tiny feet that resulted were to Western eyes not beautiful but grotesque. Since time immemorial small feet have been prized in China and, for that matter, in many cultures. (One recalls Cinderella’s tiny glass slipper.) Actual binding o f the feet, however, probably did not begin until around the tenth century. Initially it was practiced by dancers at the imperial palace, who are thought to have performed on a rug or stage o f some kind having a lotus design, hence the term “golden lotuses” for bound feet. From there it spread to the women o f the imperial court, then to the upper classes, and finally to Chinese society as a whole. Since the dancers could still dance, presumably binding wasn’t taken to extremes at first. But over time tinier and tinier feet became prized. Ultimately the ideal foot was one not exceeding three inches in length. Foot binding was a cruel, painful process that began when a girl was around five years old. A bandage two inches wide and ten feet long was wrapped around the foot in a figure-eight pattern so that the arch was com pressed and the four smaller toes were bent under. The foot was then jammed into a shoe several sizes too small. Over a two-year period tighter and tighter bandages and smaller shoes were used until the desired result was achieved. The bones broke, pus-filled sores developed, the flesh putrefied, and occasionally a toe dropped off. A

few girls got gangrene, and some died. The final product was a sort of clubfoot, less foot than hoof. Why? Part of it was the subjugation o f women. A woman with bound feet could not walk unaided and spent most o f her life in her quarters where her faithful ness could be assured. What’s weirder is that Chinese men found these deformed and often foul-smelling feet erotic. Bound feet were said to keep the womans lower body tense during walking (what little she could man age), enlarging her buttocks and tightening her vagina, thereby increasing the male’s sexual pleasure. Seeing the unbound foot of one’s lady drove men nuts. The tiny foot was a focus o f foreplay and was featured in pornog raphy. One o f the bigger kicks was drinking wine from cups placed in tiny shoes. You’re thinking: These guys were crazy. I suppose in principle Chinese foot fetishism wasn’t any stranger than Western males’ obsession with the female breast. But come on, a Wonderbra doesn’t leave you lame. Foot binding survived sporadic reform efforts and lasted well into the 20th century. Though outlawed in 1911 around the time China became a republic, it was n’t stamped out in some parts o f the country until the 1930s. The “natural foot” campaign succeeded in part because o f the improving status o f women in Chinese society, but a big factor was the recognition among edu cated Chinese that the West considered the practice bar baric. Anti-foot-binding campaigns could be quite cruel in their own right, with tiny-footed women forced to abandon their bindings, which often proved scarcely less painful than binding in the first place. But the aim was achieved; foot binding is unknown in China today. It now survives only in the West, in the form o f spike heels. ® — CECIL ADAMS
