VERIFIED AUDIT CIRCULATIO N

Alternative Newsweekues

I am writing to say how much I enjoy Peter Kurth’s column [“Crank Call”]. It’s the first thing I open to and read in Seven Days. I even read parts of it aloud to my family, and we enjoy his insights and great sense of humor. It helps us all keep a perspective on recent national and international events that can other wise feel isolating and distressing. Mr. Kurth’s writing, and the writing of other Seven Days contributors, surpass es — in honesty, creativity and pure skill — the writing to be found in mainstream, mega-corporation-owned newspapers. Keep up the great work! Bob DiGiulio STOWE

MAKING WAVES As we expected, Free Burlington Radio (87.9 FM) nonprofit volunteer com munity radio was raided by the FCC and Burlington police. As noted in Ken Picard’s article [“Local Matters,” September 24], there was no interfer ence with the airport airwaves, or infringements on other radio stations, nor complaints of any kind. Free Brattleboro FM was also raided. It’s disheartening because our vol unteer staff did interviews with local musicians, artists, poets and actors with whom this town is blessed. Yet they seldom get heard because there is such an overflow. The FCC has been denying licenses to all independent micro-radio stations for two years now, an attempt to stamp out alternative viewpoints. The music doesn’t irk the government. What they really don’t want you to

hear are opposing political views, such as Noam Chomsky and Amy Good man’s, which micro radio also broad cast from “Democracy Now.” It seems our “government of the cor porations, by the corporations, for the corporations” only wants you to hear Dan Rather, Fox News or even corpo rate-funded National “Public” Radio. Shamefully, our government, the biggest empire in history, with ail kinds of “weapons of mass destruction” and bases all around the world, in its hyster ical paranoia, sees fit to raid a micro scopic, miniscule, 10-watt community radio that can’t even cover half of Burlington. And they have the nerve to call us “pirates.” Rest assured, we will soon be broadcasting again from a secret garage, cellar or attic near you. Tom Azarian

But rich Americans are not the only ones who buy bonds. Big-box retailers import large amounts from China. China does not buy as much from us; they end up with a yearly trade surplus of about $100 billion. China currently holds about $290 bil lion in U.S. treasury bonds. If China decides to liquidate this debt, either because of a change of policy or for reasons beyond their control, our economy would be badly damaged. This is just another way the Bush tax-cut deficit puts our economic future at risk. Bush’s rich backers plunder our country’s treasury, secure in the knowl edge that no matter what happens, they will have got away with their loot, while the rest of us will get stuck with the debt. Peter Lackowski

JERICHO

CUT THE CUTS

DOCTORS WITHOUT BEER?

Bush’s tax cuts mean that the govern ment will be spending far more than it is taking in. The recently announced $87 billion price tag on the war will add even more to this deficit. If Bush were to eliminate his tax cuts for the richest one percent of Ameri-cans, it would raise approximate ly $87 billion. He won’t choose this solution, though. To cover the shortfall, the goi&fttmeiu will .borrow still more. To borrow monqj', the government sells treasury bonds, largely to the wealthy who have tax-cut money to invest. Thus, they not only get their tax cut, but we taxpayers and our children end up paying them interest when our government borrows it back from them.

I found it funny — not “ha ha” — that an ad for Molson was beneath starving children and a starving moth er [“Salving the World,” October 22]. My next thought was that Molson was ’ donating to M^decins Sans Frontieres. (I didn’t find the answer in the story.) Mostly I really like your paper. Maureen Kengley •i

nity to help pay for re-building Iraq. And we can’t expect many of our allies to pitch in unless we turn over more power to the United Nations. That’s why I think Congress should say no to more money for Iraq unless President Bush gives the United Nations the lead role in there. Only then will we begin to have hope of controlling the drain of U.S. dollars to Iraq, when our own country’s roads, schools, hospitals and other basic infra structure are in such need of help. Anna Licdone JEFFERSONVILLE

BRING IN THE U.N. I believe we have a moral obligation to help clean up the mess we made in Iraq, but I do not think we should leave our troops to risk their lives in an endless quagmire. Congress should approve more money for Iraq only if the Bush administration turns authority for post-war reconstruction to the United Nations. Otherwise, our sons and daughters in the military will continue to die and we will be no nearer to a long-term solution. The United

The City of Burlington did not help them. Instead, they sent their lawyer to court to defend the develop er along with the Planning and Zoning staff and a witness from Public Works. It took the environmental judge over a year to make her decision. In the meantime, the eight condos were built as planned and sold. The original ten ants were displaced because they could not afford to buy one. These places were supposed to be affordable for low-income people. We lost this case because the envi ronmental judge caved in to the pres sures of the City of Burlington to cram all the new development into the Old North End of Burlington. The one stipulation that she changed in her judgment was that there should be a causeway clear for emergency vehicles to get onto the property from Manhat tan Drive. This was never done, nor was the testing of the site for oil con taminants. It remains in violation of the City codes to this day! I would be glad to hear from Mr. Berezniak or any of the residents who are currently taking the Archibald development to court. Our experience could help them. Cherry Clark BURLINGTON

couple years ago on Rose Street. The developer wanted to build eight con dos on a site that had only a duplex and a small lawn mower shop on the corner of Rose and Manhattan. The Rose Street Neighborhood Association felt that the site was not big enough for eight condos with only one exit... on Rose Street. We wanted only six with another exit on Manhattan Drive. Snow removal would be very difficult with their plan. The City had also given the developer a parking waiver because they said that they wanted to discourage the use of cars. All the neighbors on this end of the street got together and decided to take it to court after being totally ignored by the Planning and Zoning Board. We sent in our $ 150 and decided to defend ourselves. The property had oil spills that had not been cleaned up, according to the interracial couple liv ing with four young children in that, duplex. They were harassed by the developer and his workers with racial slurs and told to leave within two weeks. When they didn’t leave because they could find no other place to live, the developer started demolishing the apartment above them. A pipe burst over their kitchen ceiling and in the basement. The port-o-potty was put next to their bedroom window and the property was dug up all around them so that the children and their dogs could not go outside. I’m sure there was a lot of lead paint everywhere, too. The whole situation was appalling!

verywhere you turn, everywhere you look, you find drugs, drugs and more drugs: pharmaceutical drugs, illegal drugs, wonder drugs, dangerous drugs. O n two separate fronts drugs are at the center of the nation’s political debate. O n M onday at City Hall in Burlap it was Congressman Bemie Sanders and Mayor Peter Clavelle promoting the reimportation o f prescription drugs from Canada. At 7 p.m. Thursday night at U V M ’s Waterman building, it will be eloquent crusader Ethan Nadelman calling for an end to the positively useless War on Drugs — specifically, marijuana. W hether you get your drugs at the bar or the local pharmacy, at the supermarket or the house down the street, one thing’s certain — just about all o f us use drugs in our daily lives. To relax, to lower blood pressure, cure depression, get a woody, boost energy, battle cancer or just cop a high. Drugs are such an intimate part of humandife, we’d be lost without them. It’s the drug policy, not the drugs themselves, that’s doing most o f the damage. Sanders and Clavelle are fighting the good fight to take the greed out o f pre scription drugs. A few years back O f Bernardo led the first bus trip o f seniors across the border to the discount drug market known as Canada. Mayor Moonie wants the city to get in the game by filling the needs o f city workers at a Canadian pharmacy. The Bush administration, how ever, says it’s against the law. Ethan Nadelman worked for the State Departm ent’s Bureau o f International Narcotics Matters in the mid 1980s. The Harvard grad studied the War on Drugs up close. By 1987 he decided the U.S. policy was absurd. Today he’s the director o f the Drug Policy Alliance at www.drugpolicy.org. Nadelman told Seven Days this week that when it comes to mari juana, “The only pragmatic policy is to tax, control and regulate it.” Imagine if you woke up tomorrow morning and you were the only person in Vermont. The other 616,592 Green Mountains citizens had been arrested in the night and were being held incommuni cado. Well, that’s not unlike what happens in the United States every year. According to Nadelman, 700,000 American tokers are ^ arrested yearly. And 87 percent are charged ■i merely with possessing the stuff that John Prine joked creates an “illegal smile.” It k may be a great business-booster for defense lawyers, but it’s clogged the nation’s courts and jails and annually pours $20 billion down the proverbial sewer. It’s enough to drive you to drink. Sanders said the pharmaceutical indus try has the “most political clout” o f any special interest. O n Capitol Hill, there are “over 600 lobbyists” for the pharmaceutical industry versus 535 elected representatives o f the people. Bernie accuses the industry o f “lying, distorting reality and forming phony front groups to represent seniors.”

The political spin from Pillville, U.S.A., is that Canadian drugs are not safe. After all, they come from a strange country that celebrates Thanksgiving in October, eh? However, Canadian whiskey is safe. So’s Canadian beer, bacon and maple syrup. But somehow prescription drugs exposed to Canadian hands become unsafe. Meanwhile, said O f Bernardo, 20 per cent of American senior citizens can’t afford to purchase the drugs their doctors tell them they need. That, said Bernie, is the real safety issue! Bernie’s got a point. Look, the overall goal here is to drop the price of pharmaceuticals in the Good O f U.S.A. to the prices the rest of the world enjoys. That doesn’t sound very rad ical. The push for “reimportation,” said Sanders, is but “a tactic’’ to achieve that ultimate goal. So, too, for Mary Jane. The push for medical marijuana is clearly a tactic to achieve the ultimate goal of legalizing pot for all adults. And like prescription drugs, it’s a political football. ^ In Howard Dean’s last term as Vermont governor, the legislature played catch with medical marijuana. The Republican-controlled House led by Speaker Walter Freed happily passed medical marijuana legislation. But the Democrat-controlled senate sat on it in order to protect the political aspirations of a soon-to-be Democratic presidential can didate. But, last year, the Democrat Senate overwhelmingly backed medical pot. The bill sits in a suddenly reluctant Republican House, whose leadership is intent on hon oring the wishes of the new Republican governor who opposes it. Heck of shell game, eh? Nationally, the current failed drug poli cy has a friend in the White House. George W. Bush is a strong supporter of the pharmaceutical industry and the War on Drugs. In Nadelmans view, “whichever Democratic candidate has the best chance o f beating Bush is the best candidate for reforming drug policy.” Asked which one is best of the best, Nadelman pointed to Rep. Dennis Kucinich o f Ohio. Kucinich, he said, sup ports medical marijuana as well as decrimi nalization. Unfortunately, he added, Kucinich, who is trailing in the polls, “is not a viable candidate.” W hat about Howard Dean of Vermont? As everyone knows, Ho-Ho was quite the anti-drug crusader. Gov. Dean once charged that the medical marijuana move ment was just a ruse perpetrated by billion aire investment guru George Soros to legalize drugs. Funny, earlier this year Candidate Dean attended a Big Apple fundraiser in his honor hosted by Mr. Soros! And according to campaign finance reports, Mr. Soros has made two $1000 contributions to Dean for America. The acceptance o f Soros’ cash IN S ID E T R A C K »

Sonya Thomas, who eats under the name “The Black Widow,” beat out seven men, including 260-pound “Jammin”’ Joe Larue, by downing 23 barbecue sandwich es in 12 minutes. Thomas entered the con test fresh from her victory in the World Champion Chicken Taco Eating Contest, where she finished 43 tacos in 11 minutes. She also holds women’s records for eating 24 hot dogs in 12 minutes and 68 hardboiled eggs in eight minutes.

A healthier version being made for publicschool cafeterias contains less beef but still has 60 calories and 6 grams of fat. “The challenge is getting people to think of other ways to eat beef,” said Betty Hogan, director of new product marketing for the association, adding, “We want beef in dessert if we can get it there.”

Revealing Request Barry Nakell, the lawyer representing former Miss North Carolina, Rebekah Revels, in her lawsuit against the state pageant, asked to have the arbitrator in the case removed, charging that Judge .Conley Ingram of Georgia has become obsessed with topless photos of Revels. A threat by Revels’ former boyfriend to publicize the photos caused pageant officials to ask Revels to resign. Nakell said he has resisted Ingrams demands to see the photos, citing his client’s right to privacy, but Ingram threat ened to dismiss the case if he doesn’t get a look at the pictures.

The Wrong Stuff When Chuck Yeager landed at Clayton, Georgia, to be honored by a new airport community there, the famous test pilot went off the runway and into a ditch after his single engine plane was caught in a crosswind while taxiing.

C h o k e H o ld ? n the time it takes to finish reading this col umn, a nonsmoker somewhere in the United States will die from past exposure to secondhand smoke. If the deceased happens to be a Vermonter, there’s a good chance he or she once worked as a bartender, chef, waitress, musician or live entertainer. Colin McCaffrey is a 35-year-old musi cian from East Montpelier who resolved not to become one of those statistics. Earlier this year, McCaffrey chose to sacrifice a substantial portion of his income and quit the smoky-bar circuit. Like a growing num ber of his fellow musicians and entertainers, McCaffrey is backing legislation to make all Vermont bars smoke-free. To make it a real ity, he and about a dozen other Vermont musicians recently played a benefit concert at the Barre Opera House. W hat made up McCaffrey’s mind were two gigs he played in smoke-filled bars on

I h a d in s ta n t la ry n g itis a n d a lu n g in fe c tio n fo r tw o w e e k s . A n d I w o u ld n 't sing o r ta lk fo r a w e e k a n d a h a lf. I t re a lly blew m e o u t. CO LIN M C C A F F R E Y St. Patrick’s Day — the first at Nectar’s in Burlington and the second at Charlie O ’s in Montpelier. After just five hours of per forming, the effect on his health was appar ent. “It was horrendous,” McCaffrey recalls. “The next day I had instant laryngitis and a lung infection for two weeks. And I could n’t sing or talk for a week and a half. It real ly blew me out.” Stories like McCaffrey’s aren’t uncommon among folks who earn a living in bars, clubs, bowling alleys and other smoke-friendly establishments. And no wonder. Waitresses and bartenders who pull eight-hour shifts breathe the equivalent of half a pack of cigarettes — increasing by about 50 percent their risk of heart disease, lung cancer or some other slow and painful death. Al though Vermont passed The Clean Indoor Air Act in 1993, the law included a “cabaret exemption” allowing smoking in restaurants and bars that earn more than 50 percent of their revenues from music and booze. That’s a loophole, say many bar workers, big enough to drive a hearse through. “It’s kind of scary coughing up brownish mucus just from hanging out in a bar,” complains one Burlrngton-area waitress, who asked not to be identified. Like other workers in th^food-service sector, this woman doesn’t receive health benefits and only works in a bar to cover her living expenses until she finishes college. But she says she’s reluctant to voice her health com plaints to her boss — or speak publicly in favor of repealing the cabaret exemption — out of fear o f losing her job. A Burlington bartender who initially expressed an interest if

off, saying she didn’t want to “bite the hand that feeds me.” Musicians have it somewhat better. As independent contractors, they can pick and choose where they work, though there are far fewer options for musicians who will only play smoke-free venues. Corey Gottfried, who’s been a professional entertainer for more than 30 years, is one of them. “To this day, I try to steer away from environments that are smoke-filled,” says Gottfried, who quit the bar scene after 20 years to work as a DJ at weddings and pri vate functions, most of which are held in smoke-free banquet halls. At the time, Gottfried estimates, the decision cost him about 80 percent of his income. But the improvement in his health paid off. “When I was working the clubs, I’d get sick a whole lot more. I know my immune system was weaker,” he says. “However, if smoking were banned in nightclubs I would probably go back to it,” Gottfried adds. “It would encourage me to put another band together and play original music, which is my dream.” One commonly-held perception, espely among club owners, is that repealing the cabaret exemption would be the death knell for taverns and bars. But past revenue figures — both in Vermont and elsewhere — simply don’t bear out the veracity of that assumption. According to statistics from the Vermont Department of Taxes, passage of Vermont clean indoor air legislation in 1993 showed no detrimental impact on meal or alcohol revenues. And several studies con ducted in California and Delaware, both of which went entirely smoke-free, show no adverse impact on their restaurant and bar revenues either. In fact, California’s restau rant industry, which initially opposed the legislation, soon recognized its economic benefits: an upsurge in the number of nonsmokers now visiting their establishments. A poll just released by the Coalition for a Tobacco Free Vermont strongly suggests the state’s bars could reap similar benefits. The poll of 400 randomly selected Vermon ters showed that more than two-thirds of residents support making bars smoke-free — a response that was consistent across political, economic and age lines. Perhaps most interesting, the poll also found that more than 80 percent of respondents said they would go to bars more often if they were smoke-free. Such findings come as no surprise to McCaffrey. “I have a suspicion that bars will actually gain more clientele as it becomes more a community atmosphere without the tobacco,” McCaffrey says. “I would love it if we got back to the concept of a pub — a public' house —- where you’d even feel com fortable taking your kids in with you to hang out and listen to music, the way it is in Europe.” Two bills to make Vermont bars smokefree are pending in the Vermont Legislature. Perhaps when state lawmakers come back in January they’ll serve die people who serve them with a well-deserved breather. ®

THE PUZZLE•

As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre

dict. Her likes and dislikes change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in m ind that Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them— how they're spelled how they sound how they look, what they mean or what's inside them.) Until she took her superego seriously, Fannie let her ID get the best of her. " If you want to borrow my recipes, ask ME first," she warned her neighbor. Sometimes she would utter a suggestive "H I" to the hunky trash collector. Her mother was acquainted with AL Capone, but she never spoke about it. "Biting the heads off mice is not OK," she explained to her nephew Ronnie. Ironically, little Ronnie has his sights set on becoming an MD. Fannie warms up her contralto vocal chords by singing "do-re-M I-fa-so-LA-ti-do." You can have your cake OR eat it, but you have to have it before you can eat it. She couldn't care less what inane trends are IN or out in the world of fashion. Fannie knows a couple who look and act exactly like MA and PA Kettle.

do need a cab, but this is probably one you haven’t heard before.” I was at the airport for what I thought was going to be a local fare. The woman talking to me was in her thirties, short and chunky, but in a way that was curvy and feminine. She was dressed entirely in black, including a softly tailored, open sports jacket over a low-cut camisole. Her hair, too, was black, as well as thick and frizzy, and it exploded onto her shoulders like a storm cloud. Her bosom, I just happened to notice, was prodigious. Websters Dictionary, I thought to myself, could put her picture next to their definition o f “zaftig ”

As we pulled into the Comfort Inn parking lot, it didn't look promising: Nearly every spot was taken, many by cars with out-‘of-stat< Truth be told, the woman was kind o f scary, but her apparent free spirit appealed to me. “Ma’am,” I replied. “Believe me, I’ve heard everything before. H it me.” “Okay, well, I flew to Burlington to meet up with a couple of friends, but they tell me they couldn’t find a hotel room for me. Something about the University of Vermont homecoming weekend? Anyhoo, they suggested I try Montpelier. Is there a nice chain hotel there?” “Yeah, there is one — quite a nice Comfort Inn, as a matter of fact, just out side of the capital in the town of Berlin. The thing is, I’m not real sure theylll have any rooms, either. We’re into foliage season now, ya know.” “Oh, great!” she said, and I could hear the exasperation. “It’s that leaves-business thing, is that what you’re talking about?” “Yeah, that leaves-business thing.” “Well, my friends tell me Burlington is just impossible tonight, so would you take me to that Comfort Inn?” “Sure, jump in,” I replied, reaching for her bag, a squat puffy affair done up in some kind of animal-print fabric. I don’t think this animal actually existed in nature — or at least I hope not. • “No, no, no,” she said, moving to cut me off. “Let me carry the bag. It’s brandnew and I want to keep it that way.” “T hat’s fine. W hy don’t you just put it in the back seat with you?” The ride to Berlin was uneventful, which is how you like it when you’re a cabbie. The woman talked on her cell phone the whole way, and I listened to the Red Sox-Athletics playoff game on the radio. As we pulled into the Comfort Inn parking lot, it didn’t look promising: Nearly every spot was taken, many by cars with out-of-state plates. Two brightly colored tour buses were parked at the far end of the lot, another bad sign. I came to a stop at the office entrance and said, “Let’s leave the bag in the car for the moment and go in to see if they got a room for you.”

“Okay, but lock the door because — ” “Yeah, I know, the bag.” The lobby was filled with a gaggle of middle-aged people in pastel-colored cloth ing, gabbing and eating finger food. I guessed — correctly, it turned out — that they’d come with the bus. In the corner of the big room, a television was playing the baseball game. Three smiling young women were behind the counter of the front desk, and we approached them. “D ’ya have any kind of room tonight for our friend here?” I asked. “No, I’m sorry, we sure don’t,” the blonde woman replied. “I don’t know if there’s a free hotel room in northern Vermont tonight. Let me make some calls for you, okay?” “That would be splendid,” I replied. “Thanks so much.” At that moment there was a buzz near the TV set. I turned and walked over to watch a replay of an interference call on one of the Boston fielders. “Did you catch that?” I asked a guy with silver hair. He was wearing a ’70s-style leisure suit, in a color that also doesn’t exist in nature. “I did. Boy, you watch baseball your whole life and you still see things you en’t seen before.” . .. <**T11 say. Where all you folks from, A the way?” “We’re from Iowa, mostly near Des Moines.” “That’s great,” I said. “Enjoy the leaves.” I walked back to the counter to find my customer steaming. She turned to me and said, “W hat do these people think? They’re dead leaves, for crying out loud! Dead leaves! I can take them to Central Park and show them piles of yellow leaves!” Apparently, my customer was taking out her frustration over not finding a room on the leaf-peepers. “Well, I’ll give you that,” I said. “Dying leaves, in any event. But don’t fret; one way or another, we’ll get you a room.” Just then, the desk clerk called to us, holding her palm over the phone. “Will Middlesex work? They have one room left at the River House. It’s a nice B&B; I’ve seen it. The room’s $125.” “Do you know where that is?” my cus tomer asked me, and I nodded. “Tell them we’ll take it,” shfc called back to the desk clerk. “See, I told you,” I said with a chuckle. “And $125 is incredibly reasonable, given the supply-and-demand this time of year.” We returned to the taxi and drove back towards Middlesex. The River House is located off Route 2, on a dead-end street that used to be 100B before flooding caused the road to be rerouted maybe a dozen years ago. When we turned onto the street, it was easy to pick out the place: The front porch was bedecked with baskets of fall flowers, mostly mums, and the innkeep er was waving to us from the steps. I wasn’t quite sure what to charge the lady. She had been with me well over an hour at this point. “How about $75?” I said. “That’s great.” She reached into her bag, pulled out a wallet which was covered in a similar wildebeest hide, and handed me a $100 bill. “Keep it,” she said, and I was delighted to see her finally smiling. “You know what? I’m beginning to like this place.” “Dead leaves and all, huh?” “Yup,” she said with a laugh. “Dead leaves and all.” ®

Dean makes what you feel is an important concession: Studies have shown that untrained people given hand writing samples can guess with modest accuracy the sex and approximate intelligence of the writer — on the first count, 60 to 70 percent accuracy, verses the roughly 50 percent you’d expect from blind chance. But then, you say, “he removes these factors from his study.” (I’m quot ing from your message board postings.) You find this outrageous. Sex and intelligence obviously have a major impact on personality. If graphology’s predictions about these traits — the very traits it’s best at spotting — are declared inadmissible, that eliminates the strongest argu ments in support, of the p ra c ti^ yes? ^ r.

s the Earth continues its sinuous stagger around the sun, the harvest is finally all coaxed froril the fields. The mornings start dark, the days end early. And, just as October relinquishes itself to November, the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is said to stretch, shimmer and thin perceptibly. Ancient Celtic worshippers believed the dark hours of October 31 to be a time of spirit transmigration. Called Samhain and pronounced “sow-in,” this was a cele bration of the New Year, the cyclical split between the physical work of the out doors-oriented summer and the more reflective activities of a winter spent inside. “It was understood that in dark silence come whisperings of new beginnings, the stirring of the seed below the ground,” Mara Freeman writes poetically on her Celtic Spirit site. She contends that Samhain was once the “principal calendar feast o f the year,” and that old fires were deliberately doused and new ones banked to symbolize fresh starts. Wiccan writer Selena Fox suggests on her Circle Sanctuary site that one way to celebrate primeval tradition is to “set up an altar in your home to honor

Celtic Spirit: www.celticspirit.org/samhain.htm Circle Sanctuary: www.circlesanctuary.org/pholidays/Samhain.html Myth*ing Links: www.mythinglinks.org/Samhain.html Mexico Online: www.mexonline.com/daydead.htm Halloween Survey: www.halloweensurvey.com Weird & Different Recipes: bertc.com/recipes.Htm Tomb Town: www.tombtown.com/ Haunt Finder: www.hauntfinder.com/ Village Halloween Parade: www.halloween-nyc.com/pages/vhp.html loved ones and ancestors, or, already have such an altar, place "offerings and light a candle there. As done in ancient times, set a place at yfrur table for your spirit friends and relatives, and serve them some of the food and drink you share at your Samhain feast.” For those so inclined, a round o f canny Samhain links and rmation on traditional and mytholore is ably found on retired f professor Kathleen Jenks’ most-excelMyth*ing Links site. our continent, some North Americans do believe that during this frpef interlude, spirits — often dravim down to our world by the pungent scent Jbf marigold petals — return to our mortal sphere. Relieved of their physical-world burdens, they visit with loved ones, enjoy the fragrance o f their

favorite foods, relish colors and sounds and briefly enjoy, once again, the phys ical pleasures of life. This Aztec-born tradition, called E l D ia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, has spread beyond Latino communities to bloom into a cross-cultural celebration of the beauty of life as seen through the dark* glass of death. Celebrated on the first and sec ond days of November, Day of the Dead is nicely explained on the offi cial-looking Mexico Online Web site that offers tourist information as well as splendid photos for those whose cold-weather dreams have a southern orientation. But most of us are content to call such celebration “Halloween” and mark the day with help from ill-fitting plastic masks and the Hershey corpora tion. According to the “Halloween

Survey” on halloween.com, over 50 percent of adult U.S. citizens dress up in costume each Halloween and spend an astounding $8 billion dollars getting ghoulish. This night offers less spiritual fellows a perfect opportunity to don new personas, give gas-out parties, flirt with the sexy guise of death and serve really repulsive foods. O n this front, Canadian Bert Christensens Weird & Different Recipes offers a wide variety of danger ous-sounding dishes. Fried giant silk worm pupae, for example. The cooks assure, “No salt or spices are necessary as the larvae tast$ fi^ie on their own.” There’s also a recipe for Penis Stew, which calls for “one pound of penis, ram’s or bull’s.” A batch of slug fritters involves slicing 10 fresh slugs into beat en eggs and cream. Not for the squea mish, Christensen’s site also offers tra ditionally edible items composed of various Jell-Os and food colorings that look disgusting but are less likely to make guests vomit on the spot. For those who plan to dine safely at home, the strange and wonderful 3dimensional virtual reality gaming of Tomb Town might provide the odd hour of pleasure. Describing itself as “living impaired,” Tomb Town is usual ly just your run-of-the-mill cemetery, naturally enough populated by such historical figures as Plato and Princess Diana. But on All Hallows Eve — or

whenever you take the time to down load the required Viscape software — Tomb Town becomes even more alive with the dead, offering special Halloween story lines and games with in its crypt-lined walls. The Haunt Finder is a great resource for traveling terror-seekers. Vermont lists three events: the Island Haunted Trail in Grand Isle, the Haunted Forest in Williston and an annual dead show in a cemetery on South Burlington’s Hadley Road. Further afield, the Village Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village celebrates its 30th anniversary with the theme of the Trickster. “Journey into any of the cultural traditions represented in the Parade, and you will meet the Trickster at the crossroads,” the site beckons. “In Africa he is the spider, Anansi; in Brazil he will call himself Eshu; in China, he will appear as Monkey; for Native Americans, he will greet you as Raven or Coyote; he’s Loki in the land of the Midnight Sun; in the American South, Brer’ Rabbit. He is the Baby Krishna — he is the Fool at Court.” Better than a fool in the White House. ®

sharply contrasts with Dean’s earli er scorn for him from atop the gubernatorial soap box. These days Dean will talk to almost anybody. It turns out our favorite presidential hopeful has had two meetings this year with Mr. Nadelman. Nadelman told Seven Days, “W hen it comes to the rhetorical side, Dean is one o f the best.” Ethan said H o-H o “slams the War on Drugs, mandatory minimum sentencing and the D A R .E Program.” Then, there’s the other side of Howard Dean, the side we in Vermont know so well. Gov. Dean fought methadone mainte nance to the bitter end and blew off medical pot legislation on the grounds grass should first be test ed and approved by the FDA. A bit hypocritical, wouldn’t you say, for a guitar-playing child o f the ’60s who did his own mari juana testing in New Haven and Aspen? But Nadelman says Dean is mellowing. At their first sit down, Ethan said he “attacked” H o-H o for his past positions as Vermont’s chief executive. “Making the FDA the end-all on medical marijuana,” he told Dean, “was a cop out.” Nadelman said Ho-H o dug in his heels and argued back in clas sic Dean style. (A typical Scorpio is he.) At their second rendezvous, Nadelman said Dean “didn’t argue back as vociferously.” You don’t think H o-H o had been smoking something, do you?

percent certain” she’ll toss her bonnet into the lieutenant gover nor’s race. She’d be the second Dem to get in, following the lead of former Sen. Jan Backus of Chittenden County. In a Seven Days interview, Ma Rivers made it perfectly clear she’s ready for battle. * Sen. Rivers was the great champion o f single-payer health care while under the golden dome and often she roused the ire of Gov. Howard Dean, M .D. Rivers told Seven Days that Backus “had not been supportive of Sen. Sally Conrad and I in trying to get universal health • care.” It will be Rivers’ first statewide race. Jan o f Arc has lost two bids for U.S. Senate: the 1994 general and the 2000 primary. “She’s had two shots,” said Rivers. “It would be gracious of her if she stepped aside.” Don’t bet the farm on it, Cheryl. Backus told Seven Days the Gov-Lite race is about beating Republican incumbent Brian Dubie who is “wrong for Vermont.” As for Cheryl’s suggestion she drop out, Jan replied, “I have a record of staying above negative attacks.” Man, oh, man. 2004 will be a hot one!

Ticonderoga Tire Burning — At a recent public meeting in

Middlebury, some in the audience were shocked to hear that Environmental Commissioner Jeff Wennberg had learned way back in May o f the planned tire burning at the International Paper plant. Wennberg told Seven Days he didn’t notify the public earlier, “because we didn’t realize the prospect of a test burn was immi nent until last m onth.” U nfortu nately, he said, it appears there’s nothing Vermont state govern ment can do to stop the test burn o f tire fuel across the lake. A 1997 EPA study found tire burning relatively safe if the stack has an electrostatic precipitator that removes the fine particles that end up in human lungs. IP Ticonderoga’s stack does not have such a device, said Wennberg. UVM Environmental Studies professor emeritus Jean Richard son told the audience Vermont would need three months of ambient air testing to establish a baseline to judge the effect of the IP tire burn. No such testing is underway or currently scheduled, according to Wennberg. VPIRG spokesman Mark Floegel says Gov. Douglas needs to quickly get the health commis sioner and the agriculture secre tary involved. The toxic tire emis sions from the IP smokestack, said Floegel, “will soon be falling on the dairy farms of Franklin and Grand Isle counties.” N ot good news, eh?

Mrs. DelmWatch 2004 — O ur favorite Shelburne physician received the warm and fuzzy attention o f distinguished Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman this week. “A dark-haired woman, dressed in a simple skirt and sweater,” writes Ellen, “she is at first and second glance the least packaged of candidates’ wives. And maybe the least political.” Ah! Judy, Judy, Judy Dean! “I’m not a fashion plate,” Judy told Ellen. But she does make house calls. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, eh? Like most Vermonters, Judy Dean leads a simple, quiet life. She’s a modern American woman with a focus on career and kids. As we know, for fun, Judy hops on her two-wheeler and pedals the Burlington Bikepath (without a bike helmet, o f course). Dr. Judy is also a woman on the precipice o f dramatic upheaval. If Ho-H o’s support con tinues to build like it has so far, the Secret Service will soon be scouting secure bikepaths in the Washington, D.C., area. Bet they’ll make her wear a helmet. P.S. O n other bike item: As you’ll recall, Democratic State Auditor Elizabeth Ready took a hellacious face-first spill about six weeks ago at Perkins Pier. She was en route to a Dean fundraiser, but never made it. Instead an ambu lance rushed her to the emergency room. Eyewitnesses described a bloodcurdling smashup between Chainsaw Liz and the pavement.

Tibet Festival, UVM, Burlington, October 23-25. See calendar for times. "The Dalai Lama's Spiritual Mission," with Thupten Jinpa. Billings Theater, UVM, Burlington, October 24, 8 p.m.

ew spiritual leaders have captured the imagination of the modern world like Tenzin Gyatso, better known as His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Believers consider him to be the incarnation of Avalokiteshvara, the legendary Boddhisatva o f Compassion. Others know him as winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent campaign to free his homeland from Chinese occupation. This Friday, the primary translator for His Holiness speaks about “The Dalai Lama’s Spiritual Mission” as part of U VM ’s Tibet Festival. Geshe T h up ten Jinpa’s accent betrays his education at Cambridge University, where he received his Ph.D. in religious studies after completing a traditional monastic education in India. His Western style clothing on the podium contrasts with the saffron robes o f his spiritual master, but the men’s minds are closely matched. Jinpa has translated more than 10 books by the Dalai Lama and joins him around the world for his public lectures, including a recent gathering in New York’s Central Park that he estimates drew more than 100,000 listeners. W ho better under stands the teacher and his message? I spoke with Thupten Jinpa by phone from his home in Montreal, where he is currendy President o f the Institute o f Tibetan Classics. O ur con versation touched on politics, religion, hum or and the power o f compassion.

SEVEN DAYS: Jinpa, how did you happen to become the personal translator for His Holiness? THUPTEN JINPA: Actually it was purely out of accident. This was in 1985.

was going to meet up with a friend who was visiting from the States. So it happened that when I went to Dharm sala His Holiness was scheduled to give a series of teachings over the next few days. . . The official translator who had been arranged to translate for this series of teachings couldn’t make it on the first day. There was some hitch in the travel arrangements. And since the teaching was to begin on that day they were looking for someone to stand in for him. And the word got around that I spoke English.

SD: The past has seen relocations of Han Chinese into Tibet, destruction of Buddhist monas teries, the suppression of the religion and large numbers of people imprisoned for criticizing China's authority. Is this type of repression continuing?

SD: In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, the Dalai Lama said that "Tibet is now passing through the darkest period of its history." That was over a dozen years ago. What is the current situation inside Tibet?

TJ: The current situation is quite dif ferent. A lot of the destruction of the temples and the monasteries took place during the madness of the Cultural Revolution. . . But now there is no overt, physical destruction of the monasteries taking place, partly because there is not much left to destroy, but

obvious. Some of these senior abbots of these monasteries are really put in a very difficult position because on the one hand, they care deeply for Tibetan aspirations, but on the other hand, they would also like to insure that the com munity is not destroyed, so often they are held ransom. Similarly with the population trans fer. . . It used to be an explicit state pol icy where Han Chinese were sent to Tibet, but now it’s a much more subtle approach again. One of the things that’s being done now as part of the so-called development of western China, the Chinese government is pouring quite a lot of money into the construction of a railway line that would connect central Tibet with Chengtu and mainland China. And Tibetans are deeply con cerned about the implications of this new railway line. A lot of Tibetans,

THUPTEN JINPA TJ: The current situation is quite tricky, because on the one hand there is a new opening on the part of the Chinese authorities. Direct contact with the Tibetan government-in-exile has been re-established and His Holiness’ envoys have visited China and parts of Tibet twice. . . But at the same time, His Holiness has recently remarked that there is unfortunately no noticeable improve ment on the ground in Tibet. On the

partly because more and more ordinary Chinese are taking an interest in visit ing Tibet for tourism. . . But what the Chinese authorities are doing is keeping a very tight reign on the management and running of these monasteries. For example, they keep a very tight leash on the abbots, the head of the monas teries, and hold them responsible for whatever political activity might take place. . . The current strategy for repression is much more subtle and less

including myself, would generally wish the economic development that China is enjoying would reach Tibet. But at the same time there’s a deep concern that this may be a kind of new opening for large-scale relocation. SD: What is the Dalai Lama's vision for the future of Tibet? r < TJ: He’s explicidy gone on record saying that he’s not demanding full independ ence for Tibet. He’s, willing to accept for

Tibet to be part of the People’s Republic of China. But what he wants is a genuine self-rule with a guarantee of protection of Tibet’s natural environment and cultural heritage and distinct identity, including language. SD: What support — or lack of support — are you receiving from the U.S. government? TJ: I think the U.S. government has been frankly at the forefront of support for the Tibetans in our struggle. Obviously they cannot support Tibetan independence. And in fr a His Holiness has explicitly stated that this is not what he’s campaigning for. What he’s campaigning for is a high degree of autonomy that guaran tees self-rule for the Tibetans while insuring Tibet’s place within the Peoples Republic of China. And this is a political goal that I think is achievable. In fact People’s Republic of China’s own constitu tion explicidy guarantees this. So there’s tremendous support in the Congress.. . various resolutions have been passed and also various administrations, including the current Bush administration, they have been very supportive in try ing to encourage the Chinese to take seriously the possibility of sit ting, down and negotiating for some settlement with His Holiness and his representatives. SD: His Holiness has been exiled from his homeland. But he shows very little anger or animosity toward the Chinese. Could you com ment on that? TJ: I think this is very much the effea of his own spiritual training and the deeply Buddhist heritage that he embodies. This is some thing quite remarkable, and not just [in] His Holiness. Many Tibetans have a similar kind of stance, although the younger gen eration tends to be quite different. SD: I understand the Tibetan Youth Congress is calling for full independence from China. Is that indicative of a more militant approach among the younger generation? TJ: Some factions of the Youth Congress even used to argue that in order to be taken seriously the Tibetans will have to resort to the use of force. So some younger Tibetans even go to the extent of rejecting the efficacy of nonvio lent strategy. SD: His Holiness stresses the need for dialogue rather than violent confrontation. But what if your enemy is intent on destroying your way of life rather than joining in a mutual conversation? TJ: Yes, this is the problem. That’s why His Holiness has constantly included the international com munity. The final solution between the Tibetans and the Chinese will have to be brought about on the basis ofTibetans and Chinese talking to each other and sitting down at the same table. But in order to facilitate the movement toward that kind of atmosphere, we need international support. There needs to be a much higher level of voicing of concern for the fate of the Tibetan people. SD: Part of the Dalai Lama's vision for the new millennium includes a movement toward global democracy.

Yet some have criticized the traditional institutions of Tibet as theocratic in nature. The Dalai Lama, for instance, is not a popularly elected leader. Is there a contradic tion here? TJ: Yes, and he is very much aware of that. In faa, from a very early stage His Holiness has been working very hard toward a political representation that would be established on the basis of popular choice. For instance, in the draft constitution that was published in 1969, he made this very obvious. Then later, he made a public statement that even the continuation of the institution of the Dalai Lama should be a sub ject not taken for granted, subject to public scrutiny. SD: Should the Dalai Lama be open to recall like the governor of California? I'm only joking! TJ: Since two years ago, effective ly, the political leadership has been handed over to a newly eleaed leader; we have Professor Samdong Rinpoche, who is head of the cabinet. This was done on a ballot basis. . . So His Holiness feels that he is kind of semi-retired now. And in one of his public statements, he has made it very clear that as soon as some kind of political settlement is reached that will allow exiled Tibetans to return home, he will immediately hand over the political authority to a local government inside Tibet.

SD: So the cultivation of compassion is the heart of the matter. This transcends any particular religious tra dition. TJ: Yes. He says that if individuals have religious frith, that’s fine, but he doesn’t think it’s essential for human happiness or the cultivation of human goodness. He makes a dis tinction between two levels of spiri tuality — spirituality in die basic sense of human goodness and spiri tuality as expressed through the belief systems of different frith traditions.

SD: If His Holiness is no longer the political leader of his people, he remains their spiritual leader. The title "Dalai Lama," I understand, means "Ocean of Wisdom." But does one have to share his religious perspective in order to appreciate his message? TJ: His Holiness’ general stand point is that he passionately advocates what he calls an appre ciation of human values. His position is that whether someone believes or subscribes to a faith tradition or not is not really, in the final analysis, that important. He thinks that what is important is to appreciate the basic good ness of human nature and culti vate the key ethical principles that govern our relationship to the natural world and fellow human beings and other sentient beings as well.

see, has a genuinely deep sense of humor, almost a childlike kind of playfulness in his char acter. Any occasion for laugh ter he doesn’t miss. Sometimes in very formal settings, cere monies and so on, like inter faith services, it’s a real con trast. On the one hand, there’s this kind of solemness to the occasion. But on the other hand when he himself stands up and speaks there’s a total informality and light-hearted ness. Light-heartedness is a quali ty that individuals have when they are capable of letting go and when they are capable of laughing at themselves. . . Often we tend to take ourselves very seriously. This seriousness belies a certain strong sense of ego-attachment. Individuals with a playful side to their character — being able to laygh — have a degree of free dom that is quite liberating.

BEAR POND EVENTS OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2003

SD: You recently translated' for the Dalai Lama when he offered a teaching in Cent ral Park. Park authorities very conservatively estimat ed that crowd at 60, 000 , but probably many more were present. Why do such enor mous throngs want to listen to His Holiness? TJ: For whatever rapon, His Holiness has now*j&ecome a- v. symbol for millions o f people — a certain moral integrity and also a kind of embodi ment of basic human good ness. There are very few world figures that can resonate that kind of integrity and moral authority. There is Nelson Mandela from South Africa and to some extent Bishop Tutu. And Jimmy Carter is emerging as one of those world figures. In the case of His Holiness, when he speaks and when you are in his pres ence — you know, I have been working with him since 1985, almost 18 years, and to this day, for me, every time I’m in his presence, it’s like I’m there for the first time. . . And also, what is unmistak able is the feeling that this is an individual who genuinely cares for the world and for his fellow human beings. The power of his compasslbn is very strong. . . Being in his presence is like recharging one’s spiritual batteries. SD: If you could summarize his message in a few sen tences, what would it be? TJ: He’s a very deep believer in the power of the individual. To a very large extent human beings have very rich internal resources for overcoming prob lems. The majority of crises that we human beings face on this planet are of our own making. . .This is one of his main missions, to awaken peo ple everywhere to the apprecia tion of their own inner capaci ties. ®

ception for a short novel, and one that Halpern realizes with partial success. Eighteen-year-old Cuzzy Gage was raised in a place called Poverty, “so named the day the child-welfare lady went doorto-door asking questions and, upon hearing the answers, declared, ‘Why, you’re living in poverty!’” Cuzzy has a basic decency that gets him plenty o f female attention, but his life is a mess. He’s homeless, jobless and estranged from Crystal, the m other o f his infant son, who doesn’t like the fact that he doesn’t have “dreams” for his future. T he novel’s early pages deftly explore the contrast between dow n-to-earth Cuzzy and the more ambitious, flighty Crystal, who names her son H arrison Ford and fantasizes about a life “more like the lives in People. N ot more beautiful or glam orous exactly, but more possible.” Everything changes when Cuzzy meets Tracy, a thirtysom gthing teacher who’s come to the backwoods in order to cata-

■— ■ ■

The novel’s setting is a study in contrasts: a hardscrabble mountain village that’s a scen ic delight to tourists and a numbing routine of logging and road work to those who call it home. to a crime of brutal violence which in its turn occasions an act of love. Along the way, we get a sense of the forces that “harden” people as well as those that make them respond to the plights of neighbors and strangers alike. Its an ambitious con-

logue the collection o f his recently deceased friend, ethnomusicologist Algernon Black. Algie, whom Tracy is still mourning, was everything Cuzzy isn’t — rich, hyperintellectual — and, if his Wildesque name isn’t clue enough, gay.

Despite their differences of class and milieu, Tracy feels a kinship that makes him reach out to Cuzzy, offering him a roof and a job. And Cuzzy, who was so unreceptive to Crystal’s prodding, blossoms under Tracy’s guidance into someone who likes Maori chants and the poetry of Wallace Stevens. Witnesses to this unusual friendship jump to the conclusion that the two men are lovers. But the reader knows the truth is m o reco m p l^, and the gap between hard reality and easy expecta^onsiets the jrage for a4 istu ri^jg dimax. y :|g~ jjj| ' Preifiaps lh€::iidvels greatest strength is HalpernS fluid, moody style. Her descriptions o f the northern woods are lucid and photo graphic. They linger in the mind much as the ghosts of human activity seem to inhabit this desolate landscape. Cuzzy reflects on his own ancestors “pushing back the forest as if it were the sea, pushing and pushing against the tidal force of gravity and new grow th.... All around them the forest was constantly returning to its metabolic set point.” If the novel’s setting feels real, so do its people: the metaphors used to describe their emotions have a convincing colloquial swing to them, as when Cuzzy compares his feel ings for Crystal to having “his feet on the gas and the brake at the same time.” Despite the sureness and consistency of the narrative voice, this is a novel of multiple, sometimes jarring perspectives. Another signifi cant viewpoint is that of Jason Trimble, the town minister who gave Tracy the impetus to reach out to Cuzzy. Struggling with his own definitions of faith and charity in a ministry that often feels like just another struggling town business, Trimble becomes fascinated with Cuzzy s father, a lay minister whose search for the truths behind the ritual is colored by his psychosis. Each o f these characters is a piece in a puzzle that never quite comes together. Rich in metaphors, striking images and tantalizingly-posed questions, The Book o f Hard Things needs fleshing out at certain crucial points. Everything hinges on our willingness to believe in the friendship between Cuzzy and Tracy, and while this friendship isn’t implausible, it seems mysteriously easy. Cuzzy responds so quickly, and with so little resistance to Tracy’s influence that he’s the student of every teacher’s dreams: that is, the one who doesn’t exist. We may be left feeling that The Book o f Hard Things has too many ideas, too many viewpoints, too many stories-within-the-story for its length, like a tapestry that needs another foot to allow for its symmetry to appear. For a novel about the hard things in life, it deploys some dra matic devices that make its resolutions too easy. Still, Halpern’s prose illuminates those “hard things” with a stark radiance that will leave the reader reflecting on the roots of human kindness and cruelty long after the book ends. © .

I’ve gotta go watch Vermont Stage C om pany perform a play I’ve already seen twice. I know I wasn’t the only one in the audience at P roof last W ednesday night thinking, “This had better be good.” And I know I wasn’t the only one who, as soon as it began, breathed a sigh o f relief. Granted, on first glance the set by U V M ’s Jeff Modereger doesn’t look very promising: just a square o f lawn sur rounded on four sides by the audience, w ith an octagonal wooden picnic table in one corner and a few white patio chairs in the other. It’s so spare it’s almost dar ing, because an elaborately detailed ver sion o f the ramshackle Chicago rowhouse where Prooftakes place was virtually a fifth character in previous productions. T he house is discussed so m uch in the play that one would think it almost has to be represented, even though all the action transpires in its backyard. But surprise — the house is not missed. The VSC space is intim ate to begin with, and the unobtrusive set makes it that m uch easier for us to key into the complicated family dynamics of David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize - and Tonyw inning play. In fact, while I cherish

Robison clearly brought his. In the dark we hear a Chopin piano nocturne, slowly fading as a fuzzy half-light comes up on Catherine (Ericka Kreutz), a young woman scrunched up in a chair under a pink blan ket. Her father Robert (Stephen Bradbury), a renowned mathematician, stands off to the side, and in their easy banter we get very quickly all that they share: a brisk, sarcastic sense of humor, an ability to call each other on their tricks, a deep love o f numbers. But the staging is just off-kilter, just dreamlike enough to allow for the possibility that their relationship is not all that it seems. »

Come Visit Wake Robin Throughout, Robison makes the problematic theater-in-the-round configuration work for the play. He knows when to move his actors ground the space, and he knows the power of letting them stay still; one potent image early on finds the usually restless Robert alone at the picnic table, the spodight and the isolation suggesting the ravaged man we’ll get to know later. Robison also knows when to speed things up, setting an appropriately snappy pace when the characters are batding each others formidable brains, and when to slow down. Toward the end of the play, there’s a pin-drop moment when Catherine must make a decision about an offering of support from her father’s protege Hal (Jeremy Fischer); in the silence before her response, the audience, like Hal, holds its breath. O f course, none of this would work if it weren’t for Robison’s exem p l a r cast, whose realization of the characters’ inner lives allows us to understand their connections*with one another. From her performance as Catherine, Ericka Kreutz makes me want to see her in all kinds of ro le ^ h ft frrings chat many colors to her portrayal. And that mercurial quality is vital, because Auburn has created a character of multiple dimensions; a woman both confident and terrified of her own potential, who-knows she& sm arterthan the room but is unable to see hej|w£y out oflHfe^rongh sne’s drowning in except to slash out in self-deferSe. She’s given to hilarious verbal attacks that seek and destroy any kind of suspect motives in others. Kreutz has a way of chewing ............. ....... ......... .. .............. on her words, stretching them into extra syllables, that can be devastatingly funny; her first reference to her “sisterrrr” tells us a lot about her vexed rela tionship with Claire (Rebecca Eddy), the businesslike sibling we meet later in the play. Yet we also see Catherine, in flash backs, as her younger, more hopeful self. While Kreutz ■ ----- ■ — overdoes the perkiness a bit in those sequences (think Renee Zellwegger in squeaky mode), she also lets us see glimmerings of those old hopes in the Catherine of the pres ent day so that the character seems all of a piece, on a continuum that lets us understand where she’s been and where she might be able to go. Kreutz is matched superbly by Bradbury as her father. He conveys not only the effordess charisma of Robert — the easy brilliance that, we’re told, attracted acolytes like Hal — but also the manipulativeness and terror of a man who knows he’s losing his mind. He’s dangerous, both to himself and to Catherine, which makes her actions that much more understandable. Catherine can be a little scary herself. Her rages, as Kreutz plays them, are almost operatic, so that you almost sympathize with her sister’s doubts about her sanity. Eddy’s Claire is a woman whose every strategem is as tailored as her elegant pin-striped pantsuit, but whose concern for her sister is genuine. Jeremy Fischer’s Hal must also navigate the stormy waters o f a relationship with Catherine — a challenge complicated by the fact that he’s attracted to her. Though Fischer trips himself up once or twice with his own rapidfire speaking rhythm^, he’s very convincing as an admitted math “nerd” who’s also a regular guy. His rapport with Kreutz, particularly in their first tentative moves toward romance, is palpable; together, they make discussions of higher math seem like a heady form of foreplay. Special mention should be made of the intelligently chosen costumes by Jenny Chappelle Fulton and John Paul Devlin’s sensitive lighting; props, too, to the props crew (note the contents o f Hal’s backpack). But finally, what makes this production so successful is its grasp of the intangibles: the invisible threads of love, guilt, ambition, defeat and most of all trust which both fetter and separate these characters. And that’s only right, because as Catherine reminds Hal at a crucial juncture in the play, “You can’t prove anything.” In human relationships, unlike mathematical equations, sometimes you just have to believe. P.S. I know, I know, that’s what they said about the Red Sox. But there’s always next year. ®

Playwright Auburn has created a character of multiple dim ensions: a woman both confident and terrified of her own potential.

Well, OK, there are two exceptions: Sneakers, the perennially popular eatery, and the desti nation nightclub Higher Ground. But late last October, a small bar called the Monkey House opened just two doors down from Sneakers; the metal simians dangling over its front door are a neigh borly nod to the Converse high tops in front of the breakfast bistro. And the bar, comfortably outfitted with low couches and a vaguely Moroccan ddcor, seems to pick up where the cafd leaves off: Sneakers has lines out the door for weekend brunch, but gave up on nighttime hours long ago. Over its first year of busi ness, the Monkey House has quietly built up customer loyalty o f its own — a mix of locals and students from nearby St. Michael’s and the University of Vermont.

There Goes the Neighborhood W inooskiites are stirred, n ot shaken, by shifting demographics S T O R Y CATHY RESMER

IM A G E S JORDAN SILVERMAN

inooski is the new Brooklyn — I’m not sure where I heard that catchy phrase, but it’s been stuck in my head for months. The impli cation is that Winooski is to Burlington as Brooklyn is to Manhattan — smaller, cheaper, edgier, less gentrified but no less distinct than the bigger burg it abuts. There’s even a bridge between them. The idea, as I understand it, is not so much that Winooski is exactly like Brooklyn — clearly the Little Onion is smaller and more provincial. It’s that Winooski is the way Brooklyn was 20 or 30 years ago, full of rough edges, but poised for some polishing: a diamond in the rough. Originally part of Colchester, the one-square-mile city declared its independence in 1922. For years it was home to woolen mills that created jobs and attracted hundreds of mostly FrenchCanadian and European immigrants to the area, giving Winooski its trademark Democratic, Cath olic, blue-collar identity. But the last of the mills closed in 1954; Winooski has been struggling ever since. Vermont historian Vincent Feeney chronicles the city’s progress — or lack thereof — in his 2002 book The Great Falls on Onion River: A History ofWinooski, Vermont. Though he concedes the past half-century has been a turbu lent time for the Onion City, he also suggests that Winooski is “on the verge of a leap forward.” He bases this assertion on the hope that the city’s ambitious redevelop ment plan will succeed. Whether or not that happens, a cultural shift already seems to be underway in Winooski’s neighborhoods. Anyone who’s read the classi fieds lately knows that housing prices in Chittenden County have skyrocketed over the past couple of years. This trend has driven many hopeful homeowners into W in ooski. My partner Ann-Elise and I started house hunting last fall in Burlington’s Old North End, but quickly realized the futility of our task — it’s nearly impossible to buy any house in Burlington for less than $130,000. Winooski, we heard, was cheaper. I’d always thought ofW inooski as a place I drove through to get to somewhere else. As one of Chittenden County’s outlying communities, its been overshad owed by Essex and South Burlington, which have better schools, and Colchester and Williston, which boast newer houses and more land. But one night Ann-Elise and I looked around Winooski and liked what we saw: houses of varying shapes and sizes, holiday decorations, sidewalks, people walking their dogs at night, all within walking

distance of a xeal, Starbucks-free “downtown.” We also saw plenty of “for sale” signs. I figured it indicated a booming real-estate market. But the housing turnover also indicates another trend. Members of the older generation — men and women who worked in the mills, whose families have anchored the city’s cultural and civic life for gen erations — are slowly vanishing

yard for $ 118K — unheard of in Burlington. The seller, a woman who bought the house in 1995, assured us that we’d be living among people who’d lived in Winooski all their lives. But six months later, the house directly across the street went up for sale. The owner’s husband died this past spring, and she’s moved to a nurs ing home. Her sister-in-law, Jan Pickering, and Jan’s husband Steve

Made attractive by cheap housing and proximity to jobs in Burlington and at IBM in Essex, the city has long been a popular destination for refugees relocating through Vermont’s Refugee Resettlement Program. Winooski — a town of 6700 peo ple — has welcomed 691 people

E.L.L. teachers work with 99 of the district’s 845 students in grades K-12, or roughly 12 percent of the student body. These kids come from all over the world — Caron invites me to stop by the school sometime to take “the flag test.” The gym is lined with flags from each of the student’s home countries. These include Vietnam and Bosnia, but also Somalia, China, India and

Congo. The school district must translate all communications home into the family’s primary language. Jeannette Ruffle, one of Winooski’s E.L.L. instructors, remarks that second languages are “nothing new” in Winooski, where many of the gravestones in St. Francis’ cemetery are in French. “It’s the demographics that are changing,”

You ve got all your artist types, your blue-collar types, a n d your professionals hanging out here, living in the same space. W IN O O S K I R E S ID E N T R O M N E Y P A L M E R daughters have moved up the socio-economic ladder they have moved out of Winooski, often to places like Colchester and Burlington.” Winooski’s mayor, Clement Bissonette, has also noticed the change. “When I first ran for City Council in 1 970,1 could stand outside the polls and know 70 per cent of the people by name,” he tells me. “Now if I know 30 per cent, that’s a lot.” These old Winooskiites are being replaced with younger, first-time homebuyers like Ann-Elise and me. By January of this year, we had closed on a two-story brick house with three bedrooms, one bath room, and a small fenced-in back

which she eventually bought from her dad. She says many of the homes on our block held five or more kids. They were mostly Catholic families whose kids attended St. Francis Xavier School on St. Peter Street. Jan still sometimes attends one of the two daily masses in town; _ flocks of little old ladies scurry through the doors at 7:55 to make the 8 a.m. at St. Francis. Mass at the convent starts at 4 p.m. Both of Jans kids have left Winooski, but she and her husband will hold out here as long as they can. “I f . you’re born in this house,” she tells me, “and you’ve lived here all your life, it’s a really big thing to say you’re going to move.”

“even though it is a little bit qui eter.” Though there were no Vietnamese families nearby when they bought their house, their neighbors welcomed them, she says. “My neighbors are so good, so kind,” she says. “I love Winooski.” The influx of recent immigrants into Winooski is especially appar ent in the city’s schools. “We have the highest proportionate diversity ratio in the state,” notes superin tendent Ned Caron. Burlington and Brattleboro may have more kids, but Winooski’s English Language Learners (E.L.L. has replaced E.S.L. as the politically correct term) make up a larger per centage of the student population.

she says. Today, for example, her French-speaking kids are Congolese. Assimilating so many nonEnglish speakers is expensive and, in the case ofW inooski schools, may partly explain their substan dard academic reputation. Studies have shown that it takes seven or eight years for kids to become flu ent enough to study or learn in their-new language. That poses a problem for immigrant students taking standardized, culturally biased tests in English when they’ve only been here for a few years, or even a few months. The district is so small that “if one or two of our students is not able to perform, that’s going to make a big

24/7

difference,” Ruffle points out. But both Ruffle and Caron see Winooski’s diversity as an asset. In general, Ruffle feels, the E.E.L. students are motivated to learn. “They are an incredible influence in the classroom,” she says. “They're very good role models, and they’re wonderful to teach. It pulls up some of our population, even inspires them.” Caron emphasizes that, in the big picture, “The educational dividend of this diverse population is huge.

Recent immigrants aren't the only people responsible for diver sifying Winooski, however. For a bastion of Catholicism, Winooski seems to boast a surprisingly large ratio of queer eyes to straight guys. I he government doesn’t track sexual orientation and gen der identity through the Census, but data show that in 2000, 300 Winooski households were head ed by unmarried partners. Anecdotal evidence — along with the discreet presence of pink tri angles, rainbow flags, and Take Vermont Forward bumper stick ers — suggests that a lot these are same-sex couples. What do the older residents think about their new gay neigh bors? My palms are sweating when I ask the Pickerings what they thought about the civilunion debate. It turns out 1 need n’t have worried. “It’s their lives," says Jan. “If this is the way they want to live it, great for them." I can tell by her husband’s tightlipped smile and way he shakes his head that he’s not the type to sport a “Straight But Not Narrow” bumper sticker. Still, he’s willing to live and let live. “To each his own,” he says. I ask some of my queer Winooskiite friends what their experiences have been like. None of them report any problems with hostile neighbors. Romney Palmer, who bought a house on Elm Street a year ago with her partner Eve Johnson, says it hasn’t been an issue. Palmer says her neighbors have surprised her, especially one older man. “He’s the kind of guy I imagine would be doing ‘Take Back Vermont,’ but he’s always telling us how nice we are.” Palmer loves Winooski — “It’s like a secret I don’t want to give away,” she says — and her diverse neighborhood is one of the main reasons. A former Vermont National Guardsman, she’d been working as an airplane mechanic until she was laid off recently; Johnson is a nurse by day, D.J. “E.V.” by night. “You’ve got all your artist types, vour blue-collar types, and vour professionals hanging out here, living in the same space, ’ savs Palmer. “Our neighbors are reallv cool. I hcv’re not cool in the

hip sense; they’re cool in the sense that they bring over tomatoes or flowers. I could never see that happening where we lived before.” Johnson also praises the ’hood, though she tells me, “You have to show some initiative to get to know your neighbors.” To that end, she and Palmer went door to door last December, introducing themselves and wish ing the neighbors “Merry Christmas.” Johnson became a member of the community news paper The Winooski Eagle and offered to volunteer at the library, though they didn’t need any extra help at the time. According to Mayor Bissonette, Johnson is part of a larger trend of civil activism among new Winooski residents in their 20s and early 30s. Apparen tly participation in cornv-sounding community activities — like volunteering for the city environ mental or traffic safety board — has attained a certain retro cool. Either that, or younger homeowners are figuring out that their older neighbors can’t bear the burden of running the city forev er. Bissonette calls this develop ment “heartwarming. He's devoted years to Winooski poli tics; at $1700 a year, it’s clearly a labor of love. But not everyone has acquired a taste for the Little Onion. Priya Lapham, a marketing director who moved to Winooski from Williston last year, says she’s “sketched out” bv the place. “I just had my car broken into, so that kind of freaked me out,” she tells me. She lost $1000 worth of CDs in the break-in, but saved her golf clubs, which she had moved inside the night before. “Now I’m always looking over my shoulder,” she admits. “I wonder Am I living in a safe place for a single woman? ” Lapham’s concern is valid. Though the city comes nowhere near matching the crime rate of, well, Brooklyn, in many respects Winooski still lives up to its roughand-tumble reputation. In 2002, there were 322 reported thefts in town. Women Helping Battered Women counseled 203 children and 121 women in the city. “Before we moved in,” John son remembers, “we heard all these terrible things about Winooski — it’s run down, there are lots of poor people, lots of Welfare, it’s dangerous.” She says she was inclined to believe the hype one September night three weeks after they moved in. She heard a cacophony outside around, sirens blaring, people yelling. It scared her until she realized she was hearing the Winooski High School Homecoming Parade. “1 thought, ‘Wow, this isn’t scare, this is awe some! (7)

haron and Dick Galperin didn’t know the first thing about the newspaper busi' ness when they volunteered to help publish The Eagle, W inooski’s free com m unity paper. But they, quickly le a d e d its two basic rules: D on’t expect to make money; and when you want people to show up for board meetings, serve food. Neither o f the Galperins fit the part o f the young and ideal istic Citizen Kane. Both are retired high-school history teachers who moved to Winooski from Alexandria, Virginia, three years ago. Sharon, who was also an archivist at George W ashington University and a researcher for the Smithsonian Institution, is now The Eagle’s jack-of-all trades, doing some writing, pho tography, circulation and other clerical duties. Dick, the selfappointed “bean counter” for the paper, sells ads and manages the finances w ithout the help of a computer. The Galperins — who insist they aren’t the ones handling the bulk o f the work — belong to a small but enthusiastic group o f W inooski residents who are infusing new life into the town’s only newspaper. “We’re some what a group o f dreamers because the idea is to produce a model o f a nonprofit paper that’s focused on the com m uni ty,” says Sharon Galperin. “And I must say, the com m unity has been very responsive. They love to read their little newspaper.” The Eagle — often referred to by its original name, The Winooski Eagle — could just as easily be called The Phoenix for its tendency to perish and then rise from the ashes years later. The Eagle has been published off and on for the last 22 years but has never quite gained ^qqugh

m om entum to become a finan cial success. Nevertheless, throughout its various incarna tions, the scrappy little rag has generated plenty o f local interest because o f a fundamental princi ple o f com m unity journalism; O rdinary people like to read about themselves and the accomplishments o f their friends and neighbors. A nd in this city o f 6700 people that has long struggled with an inferiority complex, The Eagle has become a source o f com m unity pride as it chronicles what W inooski is doing right. The free m onthly tabloid with the pink-and-gray banner had its humble beginnings in 1981 after cub reporter Guy Page got fired from his third newspaper job. “ The Burlington Free Press, The Burlington Citizen and The Caledonian Record all discovered they had no need for my services anymore,” Page recalls laughingly. Finding him self unemployable in Vermont’s newspaper industry at the tender age o f 23, he decided to start a paper o f his own. Page set up shop in a small, walk-up apartm ent just off Main Street in Winooski. In his offhours from a part-tim e security job, he handled all the paper’s business — writing, reporting, editing, sales, even hand-deliver ing 300 to 400 papers each m onth. Since Page couldn’t afford a layout artist, he typed all the articles on addingmachine tape, which he fed into an electric typewriter — receipt tape being roughly the same width as a standard newspaper column. For the next year and a half, The Winooski Eagle reported on various and sundry com m unity happenings in the O nion City. Page soon discovered that his readers especially enjoyed hear-

ing about the seemingly trivial events that his former employers at the bigger papers ignored, like a spelling bee at St. Francis Xavier School. “Wow, were people inter ested in that!” Page exclaims. “W inooski lk where T really learned about com ntunity jour nalism,” he adds. “People really care about their community, and

editorials often forced people to face problems that might have otherwise been swept under the rug. “I probably offended every body at some point or another,” Harrington says proudly. D uring her tenure, Harrington wrote about abuses at W inooski’s youth services office and helped force the resignation o f a city

changed the name from The Winooski Eagle to The Chittenden Eagle. In the spring o f 2002, a group o f local residents bought it back for about $2500, jettisoned “Chittenden” from the name and agreed to publish a “Winooski paper” again. O ne of the buyers, state.Rep. Steve Hingtgen, called it “an act o f love.”

“I m u s t say, th e c o m m u n ity h a s b een v e ry respon sive. T h e y lo v e to r e a d th e ir little n e w sp a p e r. ” S H A R O N G A L P E R IN therefore, they care about their com m unity newspaper.” Page eventually sold The Winooski Eagle to Essex Reporter founder Tim Callahan and went on to purchase the now-defunct Colchester Chronicle, which Page ran for years. But The Eagle fold ed shortly thereafter and didn’t resurface for more than a decade. In O ctober 1993 it was resurrect ed by Jodi H arrington, who had moved to W inooski from M an chester a year earlier and was stunned to learn her new town didn’t have a newspaper o f its own. “I was so shocked when my son started at this school district, which I found to be the most wonderful little gem in Chittenden County, and the only stories [about Winooski] that would show up in the daily news paper were drug busts and m ur ders,” says H arrington. “A nd I said, wow! There’s all this good stuff, and no one knows what’s going on.” At the time, H arrington was ' taking a com puter class at W inooski H igh School, where she met Janet and Rick Bonneau, owners o f the W inooski Press printing house. W ith an invest

Unlike Page, H arrington had no journalism experience w hat soever. She was, however, a real history buff, and over the next seven years often tapped into her adopted city’s rich past for her articles and columns. “W hen you have a sense o f history, you realize th at’s w hat a little paper gives a town and its kids,” H arrington explains. “It gives them a sense o f where they come from .” For example, H arrington learned that during W orld War II, the U.S. Navy had a tanker called the U.S.S. Winooski that would receive care packages from the people o f W nooski. Harrington was able to get a copy o f the ship’s log that recounted its farflung travels, which she published over a six-month period. The series was very popular among readers, and it so pleased the ship’s veterans that they celebrat ed their 50th reunion at the Winooski V FW Post. “The W orld War II veterans just loved it,” H arrington recalls. “It was a living history.” • N ot all the stories in The Eagle were a source o f com m unity pride. H arrington rarely shied away from controversy and her

manager who wasn’t doing his job. O ne o f her favorite stories told how W nooski Police Chief Steve M cQueen forced his prede cessor from office. Though she doesn’t take credit for all those revelations, she says The Eagle stirred things up. “We did a lot of controversial things, but we also got people to wake up,” Harring ton says. “I kind o f got nick named the ‘Peter Freyne of W nooski.’” Like her predecessors, Harrington eventually felt it was time to pass the torch. So after 65 issues, she sold the paper in 2000 to The Addison Eagle. Though The Eagle had never earned Harrington a living, it did teach her a thing or two about com m u nity development. Harrington is now com m unity outreach coordi nator for City Market in Burlington and has just begun her second year on the Winooski School Board. “I attribute a lot of that education to The Eagle,” she adds. D uring the two years the con servative Addison Eagle put out the paper, local coverage dim in ished and com m unity interest fal tered. The shift in focus became obvious when the new owners

But by the end o f 2002, The Eagle was still struggling and looked as though it might not take off. At one point, there was even an offer to consolidate it with The Colchester Chronicle, which was later rejected. “We couldn’t bring in enough money,” Dick Galperin recalls. “So several o f us got together and reorgan ized it.” “We also pulled out our check books,” Sharon Galperin chimes in. Though every Winooski home receives The Eagle free in the mail — m onthly circulation is 3200 — the paper doesn’t come cheap. Dick Galperin explains that it costs more than $1100 per m onth to put out an issue, including printing, labeling and postage costs. “I can honestly tell you that no one who works for The Eagle breaks even,” Dick says. And the paper wouldn’t be solvent w ithout the generous support o f its volunteers, local advertisers and a public radio style membership. The City o f Winooski also kicks in $5200 each year to post its announce ments, board vacancies and other com m unity events. The latest incarnation of The

•Eagle is not as controversial as it once was, opting instead to fea ture hometown news about highschool football games, Halloween and Christmas decorations, graffi ti cleanup projects. For example, there’s been no coverage o f the biggest Winooski story o f the day — Chief McQueen’s no-confidence vote. T hat isn’t to say the paper lacks a social mission. O ne of the goals o f the nonprofit group run ning the paper is to promote adult literacy. “This city has a lot o f immigrants,” says Sharon Galperin. “So we think about that when we’re writing and make sure it’s clear and not difficult. No 75-cent words.” Each m onth the paper is assembled by a small, volunteer crew. M ost o f the w riting is done by The Eagle’s lead reporter, Bobbi Perez, and is laid out by H ingtgen, their com puter “master craftsm an.” T hey also get some editorial help from W inooski High School freshman Grace Campbell, who writes a bubbly m onthly colum n called “T houghts from Grace.” Volunteer Jess W ilson is putting together the paper’s Web site and com puterizing its finances. Admittedly, this fledgling troupe has made a few mistakes — like last February, when they tried to deliver all 3200 papers themselves, in sub-zero tempera tures, instead of relying on the mailing house. “T hat was insane,” Sharon recalls. “The kitchen table was covered in newsprint.” Still, they’re making progress. “We’re learning. Each production is a little like putting a fire out,” Sharon Galperin says. “We’re up until 2 or 3 in the morning. It’s fun. It’s like a party... But maybe one day we can get to bed by midnight.” ® *

these efforts are inherently part o f — and to varying degrees counting upon — the city’s offi cial vision for its future: the W inooski Downtown Development Project. T he grand scheme to rein vent W inooski’s business district is already five years in the plan ning and is at least that many years from completion. T he 2 1 acre parcel extends from M ain Street east to the edge o f a 104acre wild area — itself a future city parkland. W hen it’s fin ished, the first phase o f the proj ect, estimated at some $165 mil lion, will substantially alter traf fic patterns and add hundreds of units o f mixed housing, a 945space parking deck, a new build ing for W inooski’s largest employer — Vermont Student Assistance Corporation — and office and retail space. In addi tion, it will revitalize the m ori bund Cham plain Mill and for the first time in the city’s histo ry, provide public access to the waterfront with a riverwalk along the beautiful Winooski. If, that is, the project hap pens at all. From the start, financial uncertainties have threatened to unravel W inooski’s plan, which depends on a complicated con sortium o f federal, municipal and private investment. But with the addition o f an experi enced housing developer, the Boston-based Hall Keen, Gov. Jim Douglas said last m onth it was “likely” the state would guarantee a $22 million federal H U D loan for W inooski. W ith that announcem ent, the unflag ging executive director o f the W inooski C om m unity Develop m ent Corporation has almost lifted the guard on his opti mism. Charged with shepherd ing this ambitious project, Bill N iquette hopes the resolution is now mainly a m atter o f getting all the involved parties in the same room at the same time to sign the papers. “This thing could have died for a lot o f reasons that have come and gone,” says Niquette, a 30-year-old W inooski native who barely remembers the city’s last stab at “urban renewal,” which paved over a downtown

At one point, city officials considered enclos ing the entire city under a dome. If current plans don’t come to fruition, he assures, “it would be for some odd, random reason. But a lot o f people are solidly behind this now.” Those people have been hov ering over a different kind o f aerial view o f W inooski — the one drawn, and redrawn, several times in the sure, linear strokes o f an architect’s pen. If the financial closing takes place before the end o f the year, as N iquette expects, the “involved parties” will no doubt spend the frozen w inter m onths digging through piles o f paperwork; the real digging, he says, should begin in early spring. And thus would begin a new layer o f his tory in the O nion City.

Back on the west side of Main Street, Natale isn’t wasting any tim e finishing up his renova tions. Especially, perhaps, because he plans to spend the winter traveling in Africa and building a house in Panama. A large color photo o f him in the M onkey House attests to Natale’s wanderlust: H e’s clad in a turban and a sarong, and a camel lounges in the desert background. “I travel for five m onths, work for seven-5” he says. Since moving to the state from New Jersey 14 years ago, Natale, now 42, has been indus trious; he’s the guy behind the H ood Plant renovation in , Burlington and, along with Anne Rothwell, is a former co owner o f Club M etronome. Natale, Rothwell and Troy Pudvah are partners in the threeyear-old Immaculate C onstruc tion Company, which is respon sible for m uch o f the activity on M ain Street. Natale estimates he’s invested “ahdurtf'tlifflfdnP Uj

dollars in W inooski so far. Besides the M onkey House, which has three apartm ents above it, Natale and partners transformed the building just north o f the bridge from a derelict pawn shop into four apartfl*enfs. Next to the M onkey House, die building that once housed W orld Gym is transi tioning to a second-floor apart m ent and a street-level gallery for T he Hempest, the Burling ton-based enterprise selling hem p clothing and products, Natale says. T he fourth project was chronologically his first in W inooski: a building on West Canal that comprises three pro fessional offices and the funky, mostly subterranean apartm ent he has dubbed “the Batcave.” “W hen we were renovating, there were literally bats flying around in it,” Natale explains. “Bums had been sleeping in it.” Now arguably one o f the most intriguing, urban-styled apart ments in C hittenden County, it has 22 -foot ceilings, original stone walls, a circular metal staircase and a catwalk leading to two o f the three bedrooms. “We wanted to make it architec turally significant,” Natale says. T he place showcases his creative ways with architectural salvage and a taste for what he calls “funky luxury.” In the M ain Street apart ments, that means polished, radiant-heated concrete floors, marble in the bathrooms, and hot tubs. At $1200 to $1500 a m onth, the rent is on W inooski’s — and even Burlington’s — high end. But limited parking, a relentless stream o f cars out front and the prospect o f massive construction haven’t deterred tenants. “Every thing we build is rented because >•

Inside, a bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables is stacked around the counter: long squash, leafy Chinese broccoli, bitter melon, fuzzy melon and pale green radishes the size of small coconuts.

Power stocks sodas such as the non-alcoholic Russian maltbased kvoss and a variety of juices, including birch, from Belarus. “We used to make it ourselves at our summer house in the suburbs of St. Peters burg,” she recalls. “My father and I would put out the bucket and get the sap.” The market recently added wine and beer. Marty, a certi fied brewer, is responsible for the selection and the display: “The nose is of yeast and plums, with a subtle raisin fla vor on the palate,” one label reveals. Masha picks up a bottle of wine she says was “Joseph Stalin’s favorite.” When I look skeptical, she adds, “He was born in Georgia, he knew the taste of good wine. Whatever his problems were, that’s a dif ferent conversation.” People ask specifically for Georgian wine, Power tells me, noting that about half her cus tomers are foreign-born, the other half Americans. The immi grants she serves include lots of Armenians from Azerbaijan who came to the area through Refugee Resettle-ment, and Romanians who for some reason live in Winooski and come to buy her feta cheese — “a big ingredient in their cuisine,” Power says. The Americans who have roots in Poland and other Eastern-European countries are “looking for the foods they ate in their mothers’ kitchens,” she notes. Hence the store’s motto: “Forgotten tastes of the old world.” While we’re talking, a cus tomer comes in looking for the Georgian sausages she says Tatiyana used to carry. Hip in black-framed glasses, with stub by pig tails and a loud flowered purse, Jolene Garanzha is nei ther an immigrant nor ethnical ly Eastern European. She’s an art teacher whose husband is Ukrainian. She buys pickled tomatoes, which she says she mashes with Russian mustard and the hot pepper preserves called ajika to make a dipping sauce with sausages. At Power’s urging, she throws in a $9.95 bottle of Russian sparkling wine. “You will find no better wine for the price,” Power reassures her. “That’s not just my opinion.” ® Tra Vinh Oriental Food Market, 11 LeCUire Street, Winooski. 654-8556. 9-5 M -Th, 8-9 F-Sat, 8-8 Sun.

we have a reputation,” Natale says. T hat confidence is echoed by Demetrios Michaelides, who bought the building on the corner o f M ain and West Canal following the recent clo sure o f the restaurant A Taste o f Dixie. His sons Kosta and John will move their Dorset Street business, D onnys New York Pizza, into the space when some extensive renova tions are complete. Indeed, on a recent morning, the entire place seems torn apart, yet beginning to exude new ener gy. Overseeing the work, Michaelides happily brushes off his hands and takes a break to talk about the incoming pizza and sports bar, with its four apartm ents overhead. “I really enjoy the area here,“ he enthuses, gesturing toward the W inooski Falls outside. “Its very European-like — that’s where I came from .” An IBM employee w ho has been in the area 30 years, Michaelides says he was encouraged by other local Greek restauranteurs to nab the W inooski building, despite its history o f failed food busi nesses. T hough few might share his opinion that Vermont’s most ethnically diverse city is otherwise very “continental,” he insists that “this area is going a lot o f money,” and he fanta sizes about adding a fourthfloor apartm ent for him self and his wife. “T he views are unbelievable,” he says, “the river, the steeples. I fell in love with it. I w ant to make this the crown jewel o f W inooski.” Michaelides’ expansiveness is persuasive, b ut why should D onnys succeed where so many other restaurants have not? T hat includes across the street, where the owners o f the Edelweiss Bakery & Cafe final ly moved to Johnson after four years in W inooski, claiming the lack o f parking killed them. Despite a brand-new paint job on the building’s exterior, city officials don’t yet know what’s in store for the inside. But Michaelides offers a recipe for success. “You give value for the money, run a' clean place and create a nice environm ent,” he says firmly, pointing out the frequent lines at Sneakers and Papa Frank’s, a longstanding Italian eatery around the corner. Besides, he suggests, “There are more than enough people, even with locals, to keep us in business. And if we all clean up our act,” he continues, referring to other businesses on the block, “there’s enough beauty here.” O nly in the eyes o f its entrepreneurial owner is there any beauty in the H anson Block, named for a long-gone shoe store on the site. The weedy, rubbish-strewn vacant

lot on West C enter Street and the dusty building beside the post office comprise the property pur chased by architect G ordon Rowe, 36, and his father, an architect-engineer in Arlington, Mass. T he day he offers a tour through the former location o f Fiori Bridal, it’s raining hard, and the roof is leaking. Rowe apolo gizes for the mess; this project is barely getting started, and its raw wreckage offers outsiders a glimpse into just how visionary redevelopers have to be. “W ere kind o f in a waiting period for stuff to clear the perm itting process,” he explains. Rowe moved to Vermont about seven years ago and lives in H untington; though inspired about his project, he confesses to not knowing m uch about W inooski or the history o f his building. At this point, he’s not entirely sure w hat will go in it, either, saying only that several prospective tenants have expressed interest. W hat he does know is that both the two-story existing property and the fourstory one slated for the corner will offer a mix o f commercial and residential space. T he apart ments will rent for $700 to $1000, Rowe speculates. He . anticipates construction on the new building will begin “before the ground freezes.” An architect’s drawing o f the

project taped to the front win dow indicates a handsome, if unremarkable, brick complex w ith green detailing. T he clean, contem porary design is probably akin to what the entire project across the street will look like. A nd that, suggests W inooski com m unity developer J. Ladd, is the only downside to an urban

small price to pay for a project that, according to Niquette, will “allow more people to live, work and play in a great urban envi ronm ent.” But everyone agrees that losing Higher G round is a bummer. Almost since its inception five years ago, the nightclub’s four owners have lived with the

T h e v ie w s a r e u n b e lie v a b le — th e r iv e r , th e s te e p le s . I f e l l in lo v e w ith it. I w a n t to m a k e th is th e c r o w n j e w e l o f W in o o s k i. D E M E T R I O S M IC H A E L !D E S

core that develops all at once rather than over time. Part o f Ladd’s mission is to develop a much-needed com m u nity center in W inooski — which may or may not be includ ed in the new project. Either way, he deems it “downtown redevelopment with an eye to the future and to vitality — a 2 1 stcentury Vermont design that is pro-downtown and anti-sprawl.” Architectural conformity is a

knowledge that an im pending development would displace them. At first, says booking m an ager Alex Crothers, talks with city officials suggested the project could include a new home for the club. But there was one prob lem: Their current building will be razed and the entire site will be under construction for a cou ple o f years. Furthermore, the project will include housing whose residents might object to

the noise and traffic o f a night club in their midst. “Everybody wants a club, but not in their back yard,” sums up Crothers. As for a new venue, he and his partners have been look ing, but Crothers points out, “The project has been so tenta tive for so long, we re resigned to just saying, ‘W hen it happens, it h appens.” In fact, despite N iquette’s hopes for an April groundbreak ing, Higher G round has not yet been given notice to move out. Crothers confesses to mixed feel ings about the project, whenever it occurs. “Downtown Winooski is essentially a parking lot and it has so much potential,” he says. “And W inooski’s been great to us. But o f course, we stand right smack in the middle o f the way.” General Manager Kevin Statesir, who has gone to count less meetings with city officials, remains more optimistic about finding both a temporary and a new perm anent venue in Winooski. “As time is going on, I’m becoming more convinced the area needs a place like ours,” he says. “I’m taking it as a per sonal crusade to keep hope alive. W hen we get the 90-day notice, we’ll review our options.” Meanwhile, the shows will go on, and Winooski city officials will probably go on losing sleep until the shovels hit the dirt. ®

"Conversations in Stone 2003," Third Annual Stone Show, stone and mixed-media works by regional stoneworkers and artists. Studio Place Arts, Barre. Through November 1. ARTW O RK

"Conunion" by Gampo Wickenheiser

'LANDSCAPE AND PROSE STYLE IN REMBRANDTS ETCHING': A

hat do Walter Chrysler, John D. Rockefeller, Harvey Firestone, F.W. Woolworth and Phillip B. Armour have in common? According to the Barre Granite Association, all are memorial ized by slabs of rock from Barre, which calls itself the “granite center of the world.” Appropriately, the city’s resident gallery — Studio Place Arts — hosts an annual stone show. This year’s exhibition “Conversations in Stone 2003” includes about 50 pieces by 27 Vermont artists. Naturally, many of the pieces are cut from Barre granite. “Cattail,” by Barre sculptor Guiliano Cecchinelli II, is made of two kinds o f granite and a good chunk of sandstone. The base is a rough piece of pink granite. The middle tier, of porous sandstone, is topped by a gray gran ite cattail with two leaves that looks deceiv ingly light. Cecchinelli’s father, Guiliano the elder, is represented by several relief pieces with patriotic themes collectively entitled “Not the New Rome.” They include “JFK Praying,” portraits o f George W. Bush and president John Adams. Cecchinelli’s works are in the artisanby-day, artist-at-night tradition that has produced generations of sculptors in central Vermont. They evidence too much technical skill to be categorized as folk art, but are definitely eccentric pieces without obvious influences from contempo rary art. Tan alabaster is the preferred stone o f Poultney artist Mary Alcantara. Her smooth surfaced “Philodendron” is a biomorphic abstraction that echoes the flower’s waves and curves. The more roughly hewn “Daphne” seems more abstract. Alcantara appears to have frozen the Daphne o f Roman mythology and Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” at the precise moment she was being turned into a laurel tree. The black granite “La Danseuse” by Art Wells of Essex Junction is another figurative abstraction. It is a tall slender sculpture with a polished, sleek female form emerging from a geometric shroud. East Calais sculptor Patricia de Gogorza’s “W hite Bison” is less literal. There are no straight lines in the

piece, so it has a softened, organic presence. A strong crescent shape at the top seems to be balancing on underlying stone. One of the most dramatic pieces in the show is “Conunion,” by North Montpelier artist Gampo Wickenheiser. A rough female torso stands in front of a block o f Barre gray granite encircled by a long, heavy chain. Its 2 ” links are a stirring counterpoint to the rough stone and torso. The 10, dinner plate-sized stone buttons of Washington, Vermont artist Sofia Shatkivska are certainly more whimsical

FREDERIC CHURCH LECTURE: Middlebury humanities professor Christopher Wilson talks about the American painter's work, "Otter Creek,

A rough fem ale torso stands in front of a block of Barre gray granite encircled by a long, heavy chain. than Wickenheiser’s “Conunion.” Shatkivska’s buttons appear in a variety of styles and colors. “Man’s Shirt Button” is dark green granite. “Fancy Little Button” is gray granite with silver leaf. Others use blue and brown granite. Several pieces in the show are not sculpture, but maintain the stone theme. The large-scale drawing “Heel Stone Stonehenge” is a black-and-white vertical piece by Bob Manning of Ryegate. Manning’s realism captures the weath ered textures of his megalithic subject. Claire Van Vliet’s 9’ “Wheeler Mountain” is a triptych. The Newark, Vermont, printmaker focuses on the hills that hold the stone. It’s a winter scene in which rows of corn stubble recede toward an undulating ridge line. A square of luminosity appears in the sky on the central panel. •' Igneous chunks of central Vermont can be found in churchyards and town squares all around the country. Just as those headstones and civic monuments will last for thousands o f years, so too will many of the sculptural pieces in “Conver sations in Stone 2003.” Fortunately, most of the work in this show is not only permanent, but good. ®

Mystic River ★ ★ ★

Y BO STO N POP

Penn plays a revengeobsessed excon in pursuit of his daughter's killer.

ou’ve heard the expression “a bad neighborhood?” T he forlorn workingclass Boston outpost that serves as the setting for C lint Eastwoods latest is the ultim ate bad neighborhood: a dozen or so blocks in which more bad things happen per capita than would normally take place outside a prison or war zone. O f course, it is a prison, and a war zone, too. Based on the harrowing novel by Dennis Lehane, Mystic River is a W hitm an Sampler o f misfortune, a variety pack o f pain, the emotional gut-punch which arises from the sta tistically curious fact that virtually everyone in it has been stricken by tragedy. Let me count the bummers: Sean Penn plays an ex-con whose beautiful 19-year-old daughter has just been beaten and shot to death. His world is turned upside down and he won’t rest until he finds and kills the person responsible. Kevin Bacon is a state trooper whose wife has just walked out on him, taking their newborn daughter w ith her. She has the odd habit o f call ing him on his cell phone at all hours but not saying a word. They’re lottery winners, though, compared to Tim Robbins. He juggles three Greek-quality tragedies at once. As little boys, the three were best

'60s' most militant group and assess its actions in light of today's concerns about terrorism. (NR)

friends. Life changed forever for them one day when a pair o f pedophiles masquerading as policemen forced Robbins to get in their car, then drove off with him. After four days in a dark basement, he managed to get away. But, as the film reminds us again and again, he’s never really escaped. Now in his thirties, he’s marginally employed, more and more haunted by memories, and filled with m ounting ^age. The poor guy couldn’t have picked a worse time to suffer a total psycho logical collapse. His mental meltdown has the unfortunate effect o f straining his marriage to an increasingly worried woman played by Marcia Gay H ar den. And that doesn’t help matters when he comes under suspicion for the murder o f Penn’s child as part o f an investigation conducted by boy hood pal Bacon. Second-tier sufferers include Penn’s wife (Laura Linney), their daughter’s bereaved boyfriend and his brother, who is a mute. Pain and tragedy satu rate the air in this place, which would look and feel even more like O prah W infrey Book Club country if it weren’t for the poetry o f several small er moments — the father placing his daughter’s burial dress over her body in the morgue, for example — and the power behind some o f the central per formances. Penn’s is not so interesting

at first. He all but shakes his fist at the heavens when he gets the bad news. W hat’s far more impressive is the way he gathers the storm clouds o f his character from that point on, shapeshifting before our eyes from inconsolable dad to gangster to dark avenger. Robbins, too, offers a master class. He transforms himself into a crum pled hulk and convinces you that behind those bewildered eyes, darting and rolling back like a broken doll’s, something horrible and unstoppable is taking form. But what are we meant to take from Eastwood’s smorgasbord o f mis ery, hands down the feel-bad film of the year? The picture delivers emoting aplenty, but higher meaning? I don’t know. In the end, what have we learned — that life can be cruel? T hat men and women can be cruel? T hat ordinary hum an beings placed under extraordinary pressure are capable of anything? These aren’t exactly bul letins. As for the film’s dramatic impact, well, let’s be honest: cram this much unhappy stuff between opening and closing credits and you’re bound to send folks home feeling as though they’ve experienced something signifi cant. In this case, though, I’m just not sure it’s anything as significant as art. <D

JUST DESSERTS Perfect Pie would seem the perfect play for this haunted season. At the heart of the drama is a dark secret shared by two estranged friends who reunite after several years. But the student cast also teaches a valuable lesson, reminding the audience of the power of friendship to overcome cruelty and provide hope. Opening and closing with the line " I will not forget you. You are carved in the palm of my hand," the production brings the women's bond full circle, leaving them — and the audience — fortified by their fellowship. Nothing scary about that. ‘P E R F E C T P I E ’ Thursday, O ctob er 23 & Friday, O ctober 24,

As a manager or business owner you have a closet full of hats to wear at any given moment (boss, coach, bean counter, just to name a few). Some provide a comfortable fit and you wear them all the time. Some you push way back in the closet (behind the bowling ball and that lamp from Aunt Marge), hoping they will disappear. Some look really inviting, but you haven't really tried them yet. And still others may simply be missing. In this “play-shop" we'll tour through your hat closet, uncover a couple of surprises and provide some stylish new ways to "wear your hats" for even better effectiveness.

BY ROB BREZSNY__________________________________ You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I con

the batting averages of the best hitters in baseball history: Ty Cobb: .366; Rogers Hornsby: .358; Joe Jackson: .356. Since an average o f .333 means a player did not get a hit two out of every three times he batted, these champions made an out more often than they got a hit. Most professional players do much worse. Moral of the story: Unless you’re a brain champion equal to these baseball champions, you’re probably wrong close to two out o f three times.”

fess happiness to have fallen prey to a sin that has*become widespread: overus ing the term “sacred.” To my credit, I haven’t sunk to the vulgar depths of New Age hucksters who offer work shops in “sacred email marketing” or “sacred dog walking.” But still, I want to be more spare in invoking the term so that on those rare occasions when I do, you will be appropriately awed. Like now, for instance. I predict you will soon be roused to reverence by a visita tion that fits the description given by Phil Cousineau in his book The A rt o f Pilgrimage. “If you aren’t trembling as you approach the sacred, it isn’t the real thing. The sacred, in its various guises as holy ground, an, or knowledge, evokes emotion and commotion.”

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Even if you’re in love and happy with your partner, this is a perfect moment to ask for even more from your rela tionship. And if there is room for improvement in the way your love life is unfolding, it’s an even more perfect moment. To launch the intimacy revo lution, try this. After taking a bath and while still naked, write down the worst things that have happened to you because o f being in love. Burn this document in the flame of a white can dle while chanting the words “I am let ting go o f past disasters.” Then dab cinnamon on your forehead, chest and genitals while murmuring this: “I deserve to be in love with a lover who brings out the best in me — a lover who inspires me to be in love with everything alive.”

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Taurus William Henry Seward was the U.S. Secretary of State in the 1860s. Though his career included many notable achievements, he is best known for buying Alaska from Russia. His contemporaries thought this was a batty idea — Alaska was regarded as a frozen wasteland — and referred to it as “Seward’s Folly.” Ultimately, his determination to follow his dream in the face of ridicule proved to be an act o f brave genius. For 2.5 cents an acre, he added a rich land that now compos es one-fifth of the entire United States. I predict that you, Taurus, will soon have a chance to pull off your own ver sion of Seward’s Folly.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): We’re all pretty ignorant about how our bodies work. Do you even know where your pancreas and spleen are, let alone what they do? Can you describe what happens to the air you inhale once it enters your lungs? Have you ever taken the trouble to study and experiment in order to dis cern what diet is best for your unique physiology? Do you know how much sleep you need to be highly alert and

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Trial and error should be your main strategy these days. It's your best hope for generating reliable information. As you grope and stumble, keep in mind the following thoughts from philoso pher Robert Anton Wilson: “These are

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’ve been staring at my astrological charts for hours trying to determine where your head is. The best I can figure out is that you’re off the m ap... between the worlds... beyond the boundaries. Sorry I’m not able to be more specific. I guess you’re pretty much on your own for now. I can at least tell you about the powers that this kind of out sider position usually confers: 1. sharper-than-usual intuition about the future; 2. a knack for making unex pected connections you didn’t realize you needed; 3. an unpredictability that makes you attractive to people who can help draw out and clarify your unconscious desires.

18): A few years ago a group of smart ass nerds hosted a jokey International Conference on Mad Science. They called for the submission of papers on topics like “tampering with the lifesustaining forces of the Universe,” “exceeding the limitations o f the human body via grotesque metamor phoses,” and “ill-advised dabbling with supernatural intelligences.” I hereby protest their slanderous satire. The eccentric yet often brilliant exper iments of the Aquarian tribe suggest that some forms of mad science result in good and beautiful works. And it is a perfect astrological moment for you to prove me right. You’re poised to collaborate ingeniously with the lifesustaining forces of the universe, tran scend limitations through graceful metamorphoses, and enjoy useful communications with supernatural intelligences.

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): You’re emotionally healthy right now. Your mental hygiene is as good as it’s possible to be. Here’s a great way to celebrate: Share the wealth; commit vivid acts of generosity. Be dis criminating about where you bestow your blessings, though. Since you can’t help and save everyone, concentrate your attention on high-functioning people who will in turn multiply your

“Dear Rob: Your horoscopes tickle me in ju st the right place: wherever the opposite o f my fu nn y bone is. It’s like you’refo l lowing me around, but not like a creepy stalker — more like a kindly and slightly frazzled guardian angel, giving me the odd nudge to avoid doing something stu pid, suggesting when I should duck, and rousing the part o f me that’s ready to give up. Thank you, thank you, thank you. — Appreciative Libra” Dear Appreciative: Somehow you knew that it’s a perfect time to express your gratitude to those who have helped and inspired you. Saying thanks right now will be a kind o f prayer that works better than begging for what you lack. It will have the mysterious effect o f attracting to you even m oft goodies.

22-Dec. 21): “Modern woman’s pre menstrual crankiness is not just a physi cal syndrome,” writes Clarissa Pinkola Estes in her book Women Who Run W ith the Wolves, “but is equally attrib utable to her being thwarted in her need to take enough time to revivify and renew herself.” I would add my belief that men get cranky as often as women, and for the same reason: There are no ritually sanctified time-outs built into our crazy-making schedules. None of us has the slack necessary to avoid periodic meltdowns. This is a crucial point you cannot afford to ignore, Sagittarius. You’re overdue for a sabbati cal from your routine.

huge reservoir of fresh, starting-over energy. To aid you in capitalizing on this gift, I offer you Ellen Kort’s poem, “Advice to Beginners.” Begin. Keep on beginning. Nibble on everything. Pull up anchors. Sit close to the god o f night. Lie still in a stream and breathe water. Climb to the top o f the highest tree until you come to the branch where the blue heron sleeps. Eat poems fo r breakfast. Lick the mountain’s bare shoulder. Measure the color o f days around your mother’s death. Put your hands over your face and listen to what they tell you.

C ap’n Maxima

arry H annah will probably want to pop me one. He may even want to fillet my fingers with the same fish knife that put out the eye o f his brava do protagonist Maximum Ned in the 1985 col lection o f short stories H annah titled Captain Maximus. I can t help it; I haven’t been able to get that frenetic little book and its wacky title out o f my m ind during an entire week o f driving Nissan’s striking new Maxima sedan. “You may see me with the eye patch...,” H annah writes, “in almost any city o f the South, the Far West, or the Northwest. I am on the black and chrome Triumph, riding right into your face.” Okay; so I don’t exactly wear an eye patch. And my Maxima was bronze and chrome — with four wheels instead o f two, needless to say. But Nissan’s all-new flagship sedan, completely redesigned for 2004, is something o f a trium ph in its own right. Its bold, even irreverent styling combines with a truly international repertoire o f driving attributes and personal accoutrements to raise a challenge — if not a finger — directly into the faces o f rival U.S. and European automakers. d ■ * In the new Maxima, variable-valve tim ing and other shrewd changes to its 3.5-liter V6 help deliver 10 more horsepower than last year, with 265 hp on tap and an equally impressive 255 ft.lbs. o f torque available for ram pant take-offs. In my tester, a six-speed manual transmission was substituted for the standard five-speed autom at ic. By sports car standards, shift feel is a bit rub bery and attenuated, but in a car with such luxu rious overtones, its lack o f harshness is aestheti cally consistent. From a handling standpoint, the new Maxima is not as razor-sharp in corners, say, as Acura’s aggressive new six-speed TL — despite the very similar power-to-weight ratios o f these two archrivals. Instead, Maxima opts for a bit more wheel deflection and body lean, perhaps for the sake o f a smoother ride overall. If the TL seems motorcycle precise, the Maxima jets along like a private aircraft.

L E T IT H APP'N , CAP'N: 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE; 4- OR 5-PASS., 4-DOOR; FWD, 3.5-LITER D0HC V6 W/ VVT; 6-SP. MANUAL; 265 HP/255 FT.-LBS.; MILEAGE: 20/29 MPG W/ PREMIUM; TRUNK: 15.5 CU. FT.; BASE: $27,490; AS-TESTED, WITH ELITE 4-PASS. REAR SEATING, 18-IN. WHEELS, DUAL-ZONE HVAC, ' AM/FM/CASETTE/IN-DASH CD, SKYVIEW PANORAMIC M00NR00F: $33,890.

The aeronautic analagy is particularly apt thanks in part to a standard panoramic Skyview m oonroof whose narrow band o f glass bisects the roof from front to rear. T he volume o f light entering the cabin swells the perceived dim en sions o f the interior, and from the rear seat espe cially, aerial views are invigorating. A second innovation, the Elite two-passenger rear seating option, transforms Maxima’s interior into that o f a Citation jet. A large, upholstered center console/armrest separates two luxuriant rear bucket seats. Legroom is magnificent, and a center vertical panel opens into easy-to-reach storage w ithin the 15.5-cu.-ft. trunk. It means forever dispensing with the opportunity to travel in fives; but few foursomes have ever toured in as much personalized comfort in a contem porary mid-sized sedan.

T he Maxima I tested included $6,400 worth o f options, including an upgraded 320-watt Bose sound system, gorgeous saddle leather upholstery and D V D navigation, raising its as-tested price from a base o f $27,490 to $33,890. T he driver’s cockpit position and controls are well executed, h u t I was annoyed by the reflection in the front window o f both the naylgiLion screen and the pewter-colored accent ring surm ounting the instrum ent panel. Day or night, these specters loomed direcdy into my field u f Vision like hightech heads-up displays gone awry. This is perhaps a small price to pay for a styling and engineering exercise that snubs its nose at so many autom otive conventions. In four-seater Elite trim, particularly, there is no other grand touring sedan I can think o f that combines so m uch muscle, interior elegance and styling innovation for as reasonable a price as this new Maxima’s. Or, as Barry H annah m ight have said o f it in yet another o f his incendiary Captain Maximus stories, “It was a splendid, sculpted, headlong thing, thrusting ahead with no m ind to m e....” ®

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, Ever since the Red Sox blew the big one, my Boston-born boyfriend hasn't had any interest in sex. I keep telling him he's taking this thing way too personally, but it doesn't do any good. How can I get his mind off the Curse of the Bambino and back onto me, where it belongs? Shut Out in Shelburne Dear Shut Out, When play pals lose interest in stepping up to the plate, depression is often the cause. It's also not uncommon for sports fans to take their teams' fates to heart — or lower. Research has shown, in fact, th a t testosterone levels in sports fans — male and female — rise 20 percent when their clubs come out on top and flag by the same amount when their teams stumble. The more into the game a person is, it seems, * the more the game gets into the person. I wouldn't have been worried if your boy left his bat in the rack on the last night of the play-offs. If he doesn't get back l into the swing pretty soon, you should either help your guy bring his feelings out of the dug-out or hope the Patriots score. ■• Love, Lola

I spy a foxy waitress showing some shoulder at Sneakers. Your skin was as silky smooth as the hollandaise on my California Eggs Benedict. Your smile was as sweet and warm as the real Vermont maple syrup on the Kahlua Battered French Toast. But your mouth was as spicy as the worlds famous Bloody Mary's. Would you let me kiss your grits on the first date? Call me!

~Rick Pollack Volunteer E M T & blood donor

Rick started donating blood as an Apheresis donor. He had a friend who suffered from cancer and told her how he donated platelets. He felt it meant something to her and it meant something to him Rick drive ‘ ‘ too. «When '* * ’ was the t blood .V chairperson in Charlotte, he increased the number of blood drives from two or three a year to six per year! His never-ending quest to spread the word about the importance of donating blood has been an asset to our local community. .
