A SMELLY PROPOSITION

S dp

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

I'd like to extend m y c o n d o lences to J e f f K a u f m a n , w h o s e M i d d l e b u r y radio program was touted last week in y o u r publication by R o n Powers ("A Plug For the C o m m o n Man," O c t o b e r 1$). Dragging Mr. K a u f m a n s program into a campaign for radio Calvinism was, I beleive, a disservice to this a w a r d - w i n n i n g broadcaster. Mr. Powers' ideal radio f o r m a t w o u l d apparently forbid references to universal bodily functions and byproducts. D e n y i n g broadcasters the o p p o r t u n i t y to discuss the historic, scientific or societal aspects o f these various physical p h e n o m e n a a m o u n t s to prior restraint o f the press, and I d o u b t very m u c h that M r . K a u f m a n w o u l d be a party to that type o f censorship. A few w o r d s about farts, if y o u please. Flatulence in and o f itself is not always funny. G i v e n the right timing or proper context, however, a fart can be a real howler. T h e natural laws o f c o m e d y dictate that, f o r optimal effect, these surprising gastro-digestive expressions be delivered w h e n least expected. Such as w h e n meeting y o u r f u t u r e inlaws f o r the first time; during a "moment o f silence" f o r s o m e recently departed politician; or w h e n shoeing a M o r g a n horse in f r o n t o f a group o f visiting Swiss businessmen. To attempt to deny the h u m o r inherent in such m o m e n t s is to deny o u r shared

humanity, the c o m m o n bonds w e all can relate to regardless o f our age, race, sex or income. Studies o f history and literature w o u l d be m u c h m o r e somber w i t h out the m a n y references to the passing o f gas. T h e Emperor C l a u d i u s was said to be less concerned w i t h the hordes o f Vandals advancing on R o m e then he was with finding a willing d u p e to pull his finger. History even suggests Nero put d o w n his fiddle long enough to attempt the risky "blue flame" maneuver, a parlor trick recently perfected by m y m o r n i n g show partner, Louie M a n n o . T h e Great Bard, o f course, did not find it beneath himself to amuse theatergoers w i t h a "windbreaking" reference or two. A n d forget about Chaucer. If the w h o o p e e cushion had been invented a few centuries earlier, the miller w o u l d have spent all day grinding o u t s o m e t h i n g besides oatmeal. A n d w h o was the toast o f 1 9 t h - c e n t u r y Paris? It was Joseph Poujol, aka "Petomane," a musician w h o

d r e w huge crowds to the M o u l i n Rouge while playing n o instrument other than his o w n arse. It was said Toulouse Lautrec turned hoarse while begging f o r one more rip-roaring encore o f "La Marseillaise." In more m o d e r n times, the Pulitzer Prize c o m mittee saw fit a few years ago to posthumously award their top h o n o r in literature to J o h n K e n n e d y Toole f o r his w o n d e r f u l novel, A Confederacy of Dunces. T h e o n l y w a y the "hero" o f said w o r k , Ignatius Reilly, can find relief in his otherwise dreary life is to release trapped digestive gas through the manipulation o f his pyloric valve. I strongly urge M r . Powers to do the same.

— Jim Condon Burlington

(Jim Condon is a past president of the Vermont Associated Press Broadcasters Association, a co-host of "The Manno and Condon Show," broadcast weekday mornings on WKDR (1390 AM) in Burlington. A radio serial based on the life of Joseph Poujol is currently in production.)

AFTER THE FLOYD

STRAIGHTEN UP A recent article in the Health Q & A c o l u m n (October 1) raised the question o f whether or not chiropractic can help with the healing o f a sprained ankle. To m y surprise, w h a t I see as obvious another overlooked. W h e n a person sprains their ankle, which I have d o n e m a n y times, the most noticeable wake-up call is the pain. T h e pain o f a sprained ankle tends to make y o u favor the other leg (or limp). This change in posture to avoid pain, in the health science c o m munity, is called antalgic posture. Antalgia basically means avoiding pain. Well, if you have ever watched someone with a bad l i m p walk d o w n the street, they look really crooked. This crooked, or analgic, w a y o f using y o u r b o d y is bad for y o u r health, even though the lack of pain often tricks people into thinking it's good. Using y o u r b o d y in distorted positions can create kinks in y o u r spine called subluxations, which chiropractors help people w i t h every day. This kink in y o u r spine m a y seem like a little thing, but subluxations change nerve function, which does create problems w i t h health. If a subluxation creates nerve interference to the ankle that is healing so that it doesn't w o r k the w a y it's supposed to, then it will not heal the w a y it's supposed to. If I m a y use a very simple analogy. Picture every o n e o f the 2 4 bones o f your spine (the vertabra) as a d i m m e r switch o n the light o f life. If one or more is subluxated (or kinked up), then the power to and f r o m the brain is d i m m e d or turned d o w n . This change in nerve function can lead to big problems while y o u r b o d y is trying to grow back a sprained ankle. Not to mention the end organs o f those nerves. So if y o u sprain your ankle this fall, while you are walking around with that limp, think about getting y o u r spine set straight to help you w i t h the healing. — Dr. Spencer S h e r m a n Burlington

is caught in the middle . . . east. Organizers got their first dose of global reality last week when local Jewish leaders called to complain about a "Special Showcase" of three movies that appear to be pro-Palestinian. "I haven't seen but my understanding is that two of the three are polemics from one particular side," says Rabbi Joshua Chasan, who favors an airing of the issues "knowing the points of view are balanced against the other." He is also reacting to the timing of the triplefeature — on Saturday afternoon, when religious Jews in , Burlington are typically at temple. Executive Director Kenneth Peck, who is also Jewish, insists the films put the emphasis on "cohabitation," adding, "We are not showing films of Palestinians jumping up and down shouting, 'Kill Jews.'" The goal of the festival is to "give people a different way of looking at things." Maybe they can make room for Madeleine Albright on the honorary board of directors, alongside Martin Sheen and Ken Burns.

G O I N G FOR BROKE

{ ^ t t i n g the grant is supposed to be the hard part. But for Waterbury photographer Peter Miller, the challenge has been cashing the check. Nearly six months have elapsed since Miller, the creator of Vermont People, got word that he had been awarded $3000 for a proposed book on farm women. The Vermont Arts Council sent the money to his fiscal agent — Onion River Arts Council — which charges a 5 percent "handling fee" to receive and administer the gtant. Bu, when the check finally made it to Miller, Onion River was too broke to cover it. "They keep laughing every time I bring it to the bank," Miller says of his numerous attempts to convert t print promise to cash. But because the check never actually bounced, according to director Diane Manion, Onion River failed to realize the severity of the problem. "Certainly we rur tight, but we are not in the habit of spending other peoples money," she says. TimeaccQj^t., for anotheri fundraiser, and, while i at it, maj^^an escrow

IN BRIEF ; The Last Elm Cafe4ied a of collective cash flow problems. The new owner has a more capitalist approach to running a cafe in the Old North End, and with a name like Dubie's it should have no trouble hanging onto the hippie niche. Affordable eats. Live entertainment. Large-screen television. "I hope to do something with local artists who make their own films," Tom Dubie says. Now limited to evening operation, the cafe may expand its hours to include breakfast and lunch . . . Put away your hooks, girls. Another Phish fellow tied the knot last month in Las Vegas. Drummer Jon Fishman eloped with an "old friend* from junior high school, and "their small, private ceremony" was top-secret. Wonder if Elvis made it? Also in the nuptials department, parttime Vermont actors Bill Macy and Felicity Huffman made it official. The Fargo star got his start at Goddard College, with David Mamet. Huffman was last seen with Adantic Theatre Company this past summer at Burlington City Hall. . . It has been almost a decade since a lone gunman got off a bus in Burlington, forced himself into a studio above the Five Spice Cafe and shot two local dancers at point-blank range. Despite bullet wounds to the head, Alison Granucci and Nancy Watkin both survived the grisly experience. Granucci also lived to write about it, in a gripping nine-page story that appears in the current issue of Revision. "Shot into Life" is honest, well-written and full of life-affirming wisdom . . . After a four-year command performance in the marketing and development department, Karen Cox is leaving the Vermont Symphony Orchestra at the end of the year. "When I came they were barely raising enough money to keep going," says Tennessee-born Cox, who came to Vermont from a job as deputy director of the Alaska Public Radio Network. "I had driven for 17 days across Canada," Cox says. When she got to Vermont, "it was so beautiful, I couldn't go any further."

wo of the best movies at this weeks Vermont International Film Festival almost didn't make \t roster. Thursday nights opening 1 feature, Fire, is a searing, senslious drama from India that explores the conflicting claims of tradition and personal fulfillment. In interviews, filmmaker Deepa Mehta says the movie made middle-aged men hot under the collar when it was shown in India. Since its commercial release here last month, the film's gorgeous cinematography, breathtaking performances and multi-layered meanings have ignited American audiences as well. The film is an appropriate choice for opening night, says Festival Board President Tom Garrett, because it focuses on human rights issues. But, he acknowledges, for audiences who attended the last eight documentary-filled festivals, which featured documentaries almost exclusively, the choice of a narrative film is likely to "confound expectations." The other too-good-to-miss film is Queens of the Big Time, an endearing, unpretentious ode to filmmaker Adriana Trigiani's big-hearted hometown. The "Big Time" in the title is the annual Our Lady of Carmel Celebration, which begins with the crowning of a Celebration Queen and culminates when the Queen crowns a statue of the Blessed Mother. Trigiani chronicles the centennial celebration, mixing in vintage home movies and cozy chats

with family and friends. The result is a witty and loving look at a rare community where the lifelines binding daughter to mother to grandmother are still alive and well, and the air is rich with the irresistible aroma of sizzling Italian sausages. The film has brought Trigiani hugs and kisses back home, and its spirit will pervade her autobiographical sit-com, "Sauce," premiering on Lifetime TV this spring. Queens is being shown as an "environmental" film, though everyone admits the classification is a stretch. The filmmaker herself even attached a note to her entry form saying, "I hope this fits." Fire and Queens couldn't be more different. The former is a major commercial movie by a veteran filmmaker set in New Delhi,

rival's commitment to include highquality films that don't merely convey powerful messages, but are aesthetically powerful as well. And both reflect organizers' efforts to appeal to a broader audience. Says Executive Director Kenneth Peck, "What's the point of putting on a show if nobody comes?" At earlier festivals, the Foundation stressed its mission to use film to "educate the public on the increasing multiple threats to human survival in a thermonuclear age." A main motivator this year is simply to get out the viewers. Witness the wide net being cast in hopes of reaching beyond the diehard peace-and-justice crowd. For jazz buffs, there's a Sunday morning brunch with live music and a jazz tribute film. For hard-core arcade

India. Queens is a low-budget documentary by a first-time filmmaker set in small-town America. Fire excoriates tradition as a crushing burden. Queens celebrates it as a lifegiving force. And yet, within the context of this week's festival, these two films have much in common. Both push the boundaries of the 13year-old Vermont International Film Foundation's traditional focus on war and peace, the environment and human rights. Both movies underscore this fes-

geeks, there's a showcase of cuttingedge Japanese animation films. Serious aesthetes will appreciate the program of documentary classics from the Museum of Modern Art. And for the long-time political activists who have faithfully supported the festival through the years, ample doses of social injustice, environmental degradation and other government-sponsored atrocities are sprinkled throughout the three-day event. In all, festival-goers are offered a

whopping 52 films from which to choose. I've seen 16 of them. At the risk of omitting the treasures among the 36 I missed, I submit the following. Ragin Muck-Rakers v Director Rick Goldsmith will personally present Tell the Truth and \ Run, a captivating cinematic biography of pioneer press critic George Seldes, on Showcase Friday. Seldes, who spent his last 40 years in Hartland, Vermont, used the power of the pen to expose Mussolini, the tobacco industry, the FBI and the American media establishment. Exposure is also the aim of C.M. Hardt, who chronicles her efforts to uncover the truth about her grandfather's murder in Death in El Valle. As it follows Hardt to Spain, where she interrogates relatives and neighbors and opens old wounds, the film | inadvertently raises questions about the value and uses of history. The self-doubting tone of Hardt's autobiographical film couldn't be more different from the dogmatic tenor of William Gazecki's Waco: The Rules of Engagement. Sitting through Gazecki's epic indictment of the federal government feels as deadly as the 1993 Branch Davidian tragedy it examines. The Medium is the Message One of the things that makes Waco so hard to watch is its monotonous succession of talking heads, a weakness that was shared by too Continued

I don't know why the words Opera House roll off my tongue after the word Barre. Could be worse, I suppose. Anyway, turns out I'm not alone. Strangefolk general manager Brett Fairbrother informs me that the Opera House got so many queries about the show they agreed to sell tickets there. Obliging folks there in Barre. And don't forget to bring canned food for the VT Foodbank. P.S. Look for a review here next week of Strangefolks new CD, Weightless in Water.

RICHARD REDUX Fans of Richard "The Clarinet Man" Haupt may remember the friend with whom he moved to New Orleans, shortly before his fatal heart attack this sum-

POLSTG-N

mer. Gordon Gaynon, a cheery, white-haired street minister, is back in Burlington and has created a loving, if haphazard, memorial to Richard. The photocopied 'zine includes snapshots of both men as well as the street they lived on, briefly, in the French Quarter, a tiny description of their journey, and clips on Richard from The Burlington Free Press (apparently Gaynon missed my own Richard remarks on these pages). Nice sentiment, but unfortunately the lion's share of the booklet, for which he asks two bucks, is devoted to Gaynon's "dedications to Richard," aka obsessive bornagain rantings. In the end, it's more about Gaynon's "friend" Jesus than his clarinet-toting companion. Jeezum crow. REEL COOL The latest from the Chin Ho! world? The band's song, "Big Crowd," from a 1995 EP of the same name, has been chosen for inclusion on the soundtrack of a new film called Game Day. Starring the stand-up comedian Richard Lewis, the independent feature is about a former NCAA basketball coach making a comeback from alcoholism by heading up a bunch of losers in a championship. Gee, wonder how it ends? Not to be outdone "by other publicity monsters in Burlington," popsters Lindy Pear announce in a semi-facetious press release that not one but two of their songs — "The New Superhero at the Breakfast Table" and "Engine 4861" — were chosen for the homegrown indie film Groupies, written and directed by Kekh Spiegel and starring exBrat-Packer Ally Sheedy.

Thirty bucks gets you all that jazz and brunch, too — at the Radisson this Sunday.

Ray Davies o f the Kinks Sunday, October 2 6 at 7 pm Co-founder and lead guitarist of the British rock group The Kinks, and one of the most successful and influential songwriters of the '60s, Ray Davies comes to Burlington with his intimate "unplugged" performance, featuring some of the top ten hit songs he wrote and recorded.

twiddler<5ien r RobinsoniMy' 4 favorite title in this nine-song selection is "666 Noises ih My Head/' but I can't say that I have a favorite song, exactly, though the eerie "Basement Floor" comes close. "Someone come in and peel back her face?" Ew. This ain't pretty stuff, nor the province of pop lovers. That said, the jumpsuit-clad quartet — a sort of evil Devo — accomplishes a churning, spewing volcano of sound and fury, with a hellaciOus vocal delivery from "Butch" (Jeff Howlett, the only one I can identify in this secret society), apocalyptic attacks from guitarist "Chester" and bassist "Horace" and masterful heavy drumming from "Willis."

Blue Rodeo's sound is equal parts yee-haw and yeow, offering up some of the best rootsy, soulful country-rock since the Flying Burrito Brothers. And, hey. ditto for Big Back Forty. Both bands tour with excellent new CDs In hand — Tremolo and Bested, respectively. Check the yee and the haw at Metronome this Saturday.

Davies' band was one of the more unusual regiments in the so-called British Invasion of the '60s. Now he's wandering the U.S. solo, regaling audiences with a laid-back mix of music, stories and anecdotes, and in "Twentieth Century Man" proves himself one of music's most accomplished performers and storytellers.

Thursday, October 23, at 7:00 p.m. at Hoyt*s

Nickelodeon. Director and writer Deepa Mehta has captured the shifting language of the S ^ \ entire Indian sub* continent, where both men and women are caught in immense ten* sion between the continuity of the extended family * and the desire for greater freedom and independence. \ Radha, played by the stunning Shabana Azmi, is unwavering in her devotion to her husband despite their barren and sexless arranged marriage. Her husband's brother brings home a young and feisty bride, Sita. The brother, however, is equally disinterested in his new wife and spends his amorous time with a Westernized Chinese mistress. Unable to woo her new husband, Sita begins to question the traditional, arranged ways and leads Radha to waver in her accepted convictions. What are the options for a woman in an arranged marriage in modern India? As the two sisters-in-law develop a close relationship with each other, deprived of their husbands' affections, all conventions are brought into question. Fire is a social comedy and a critique of both modern and traditional values. It is exquisitely photographed and superbly acted. It is a love story. Its tale of frustrated women and selfish men is about the basic incompatibility of the sexes. Fire is a story of passion.

JAPANESE ANIME OF SOCIAL CONCERN A powerful, physical performance by members of the Burlington

Billings Hall at the University of Vermont sets the mood for three diverse examples of contemporary Japanese animation. Following the second World War, many would-be directors, unable to work creatively in Japan's decimated motion picture world, took to animation. The form has evolved in the last few decades to become one of considerable international interest and, for many younger people around the world, a complete obsession. Feature-length animation is today the number one box office draw in Japan. The Disney Corporation will begin distributing anime in the States within the next year. Tale of Two Robots, by Hiroyuki Kitakubo, is set in fictional 19th-century Japan, where an evil genius tries to conquer the island nation with the help of diabolical inventions. Legend of the Forest by Osamu Tezuka is a true piece of animated art its story of a brazen flying squirrel challenging a merciless chainsaw operator is set to Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony and, uniquely, is told in a chronological recapitulation of every significant style in the

SEPTEMBER

(O que S isso, companheiro?) (1997), Brazil Set in beautiful, tropic Rio de Janeiro, Four Days in September is a contemplative, political action movie. It closes the Film Festival on Sunday, October 26, at 7:30 p.m. at Hoyfs Nickelodeon Cinema. Director Bruno Barreto, best known V J in this country for his 1977 Dona S f i o r and Her Two Husbands, chronicles the biggest bank robbery in Brazilian history, its subsequent censorship by the military dictatorship government, and he international consequences of hiding the truth. Four Days in September s based on 1 true incident in 1969. The thriller stars Alan Arkin as a kidnapped American Embassador. The film gets inside the minds of the terrorists and humanizes them by evealing compassionate, intelligent men and women. We learn that they have turned to iction out of desperation to have their progressive, democratic thoughts heard. The errorists, it seems, are no more than young, naYve idealists. The men are less "fighters" han the women. Fernando, a journalist, is a nervous man and unskilled as a sharphooter. Cezar, a seminarian, is imprisoned and then tortured by the military regime. >ad and quiet Renee seduces a security guard to enable the kidnapping. Beautiful, teely-eyed Maria is the no-nonsense leader of their guerrilla group. Ironically, it is the mbassador, unerring in his dignity, who displays the highest level of endurance during he ordeal. The plot takes turns and then turns again. The music is by rock-star-tumed corist Stewart Copeland.

IT'S NOT ABOUT POLITICS.

llllllllli:

«mm

It's about film, it's not about being politically correct or supporting one particular political agenda. It's about media. It's not about being pro-this and anti-that. It's about providing a venue in which a dialogue of issues and images can exist-someplace where people of varied political convictions can see and hear different l i iperspectives. H

thing against puppets, however, Our Classics of the Lyrical Documentary Tradition presentation is for artists. Pre-talking-head documentaries. Around the VIFF office, we are considering this program the "sleeper" of the festival. Some beautiful, rarely screened old works. Solitary gems.

what we're doing," Susan predicts with a satisfied smile. The rhumba is followed by a ox trot, which is followed by a tango, which is followed by a waltz. There's something for everyone, from the country twang of a quick-step and the rowdy bounce of a polka to the pyrotechnics of the Lindy hop. The Viennese waltz comes late in the evening. A lot of people iave already left, and only a few couples stand up. It's a deceptively difficult dance. The music is fast and dancers must use centrifugal force to propel themselves around each other and across the room, periodically reversing the direction of their rotation. Abbie and Larry, from St. Johnsbury, dance as if they mean it. As she leans back and spins, her faux-leopard skirt flies out from her gorgeous legs. Afterwards, when I compliment her on her dancing, Abbie describes how she "forced" Larry into ballroom dancing about nine years ago. "We were jumping up and down at a Grateful Dead concert, and I thought, 'This is boring. You have to work so hard to be creative.'" Larry was running 90 miles a week, she says, and she wanted to find an athletic activity they could do together. "For the first year, he hated it," she tells me. "Now he loves it so much, he'll even wash the dishes so we'll have more time to practice." The lights come up at 11. The last hangers-on gather the scattered popcorn bowls and lemonade cups. As I walk across the dark parking lot, I sort through my mental notes. I think about women who wheedle and cajole the men in their lives into leading them on the dance floor, and I wonder if I've stumbled upon a coded antifeminist construct. I think about the equal measures of counterforce partners must exert on each other to dance successfully, and I wonder if I've uncovered a useful lesson about relationships. But as I climb into my car and drive home through the rain, I mostly think about my one exhilarating spin around the floor, when Cole Porter was playing, and my partner and I were perfectly in synch, and I know that I've experienced the emotional equivalent of flying.

OUTDOORS Dare and Andy's excellent adventure — on the Winooski 500 Bv David

Healv

t's a crisp autumn afternoon when I roll out my door behind Andy Wellman, happily destined for another adventure on the Winooski 500. For me, Vermont's — if not America's — best urban mountain bike route provides another shot at exploring a great trail without pulling out my wallet, or my car. For Andy — a sponsored racer and bike builder — it's light training on some favorite turf. "The Winooski 500" is a trumped-up name that a bunch of riders with a wry sense of humor use to describe the matrix of trails running behind Saint Michael's College, Camp Johnson and Fort Ethan Allen. It's really more a state of mind than any specific route or place, Andy argues. "No matter where you start from, or what trails you take, you're on the Winooski 500." For us, the trail starts literally at my doorstep in Burlington and wends across the bridge into Winooski. Leaving pavement at the back of the Champlain Mill parking lot, we follow a trail beaten back by fisherman and vagrants who enjoy, in their own ways, the great outdoors along the Winooski River. Hey, it's an "urban" mountain bike route — nobody says it's pristine. The beauty of the 500, in fact, is the way the route connects so many different

environments. Coming up from the banks of the river, Andy and I ride along a railroad bed and enter a suburban neighborhood in Winooski. From there, we segue from some flat, fast "double track" behind St. Mike's, then it's an industrial road near Dynastar and, finally, we're at the entrance to the Sunny Hollow Park in Colchester. A note of caution is required here: While the trails behind Camp Johnson are far from classified — neighborhood walkers, joggers and skiers, not to mention bikers, all frequent the area — the local brass isn't anxious to have the public invade this particular piece of public property. "It's not an open recreation area," says Major Lloyd Goodrow, spokesman for the Vermont National Guard, noting that users need to be sure to avoid posted training areas. And while it's unlikely humans will need a flak jacket, some of the sensitive soils and plants on the property don't have any protection if you stray off existing trails. Something to keep in mind.

NO BUTS ABOUT IT Biking begins at home. says, "is that this place is 95percent single-track." Typically, pay-to-ride mountain bike centers offer singletrack, double-track and wide paths, with less than half the terrain cut as single-track. But out in the "back 40," there's often just enough room for you and your bike. "It's so tight," Andy says of good single-track, "that you feel like you're ripping even if you're going slower than hell." The latter speed, unfortunately, too often describes my progress through the tougher portions of the Winooski 500. Hairpin turns, fallen trees and the signature short, steep hills find me walking my bike or licking my wounds after another trip over the handlebars. Not that I mind, really; the technical challenges of the 500 make a person a better rider, and the fall is the perfect time to explore and work on technique. The leaves provide a carpet of color, if not a soft pillow to land on. On the Winooski 500, however, leaf-peeping beyond your front tire is rarely one of the

pleasures — the ride demands your attention. Small ridges extend like fingers, ready to grab your tires and pull you down. Tree trunks bisect the trail, creating natural barriers designed to impede one's progress. Expert riders like Andy Wellman deftly "bunnyhop" the logs like a horse over a steeplechase jump. But riders at my level generally bury chain sprockets like a Chinese throwing star from the hands of Bruce Lee. The Winooski 500's only But like a stuntman in an memorable descent is the one action film, Andy makes a leading steeply down to the major "bunny-hop" to the right beaver pond.

I've you can't ride on the sidewalk," never seen anyone do it. Andy laments later. "It reminds "If you make it up the hill you why people started riding you get a free meal at Papa trails in the first place." True Frank's," Andy reminds me of the enough. But occasionally, even ride's unwritten rule. "This is not America's best urban mountain a Papa Franks-sponsored event," bike route gets a little too wild. ®

he adds with a laugh. "Your riding partners have to buy." As a super-fit University of Vermont nutrition major, Andy makes a game effort, but tops out just short of the hill's crest. As a not-so-fit student of Ben & Jerry's, I walk my bike up the majority of the steep, rocky incline. No matter, we're out of the single-track and riding a nice wide path toward Fort Ethan Allen. On the way out of the woods we run into a couple of guys in camouflage. After a friendly chat about the quality of the riding and the trails, the NCO admits that folks at Camp Johnson occasionally grouse about "civis in the woods." But, siding with the people, he adds, "In actuality, who's land is it, anyway?" I'm seconding that sentiment as we glide downhill on Route 15, pushing the upper end of Winooski's 25 mph speed limit, when suddenly the film projector slows a couple notches. Accidents always seem to happen in slow motion. Clear as the October day, I see Andy 10 to 15 yards ahead of me and a compact beginning to turn, not noticing him. The car's quick motion clicks by in one frame, the locking of bike brakes in another, and the sound of metal on metal provides the audio in spine-chilling sense-surround.

rost has killed the flowers and the harvest is in. Black cats stretch in sun-warmed windows, and at the stores children lovingly linger over mutant heads and disembodied hands, beg for blood and scars. In newly haunted forests and barns, skeletons, ghosts, witches and maniacs rehearse lunges and moans. And I find my thoughts turning to...William Castle. William who? Well might you ask. In the annals of film history — or the longer annals of psychotherapeutic entertainment to which the movies are heir — the brief moment of William Castle, producer and director, barely merits a footnote. Yet for a generation of filmgoers who just happened to be the right age when his "thrillers" — Macabre, The Tingler, The House on Haunted Hill and 13 Ghosts — were part of the rich mix of films that made up the lifeblood of neighborhood theaters, they feel like something more. Like something lost, even if it was nothing more than one's innocence, or adolescence.

The late '50s were a transitional time for the movies in general and horror film in particular. The classic horror film of the '30s and its lower-class sibling of the '40s had completely transmuted into the mutant bug and alien invasion films of the early '50s. But, like one of the creatures at the genre's dark core, the horror film was nursed back to startling life in the second half of the decade at the hands of madscientist directors and producers like William Castle and Roger Corman and the Hammer studios in England. They grafted onto the old formulas the three things that television couldn't offer: gore, sex and color — particularly in the case of the Hammer films — and found a ready audience in the baby boomers, well-conditioned to nightmares and cheap thrills. This was the era when you

could see two features for a quarter at a Saturday matinee, a form of group consciousnessraising that held a very special place in the psychic life of preteens. To draw them out, the posters for these films were masterpieces of hyperbole and suggestion, taunting the audience with wild challenges and threats, and elevating the film's bargain-basement brand of psychological terror with impressive-sounding names like "psychorama" and "hypnovista." The ads became part of the total experience of the film, which began well before you entered the theater and extended well beyond. The movie itself was often built around a gimmick, and of all the gimmick-meisters in the business, William Castle was unquestionably king. The first film he made as an independent filmmaker, Macabre (1958), arrived at the local theaters with the promise of $ 1000 recompense to the family members of anyone who died of fright during the screening, backed by a policy issued by Lloyds of London. Nurses stationed in the lobby of select screenings of The House on Haunted Hill (1958) gave credence to the promotional campaign, insisting everyone would have to have their blood-pressure tested before seeing the movie. Near the end of Homicidal {1961), the action was suddenly interrupted, and the director's voice came on, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is William Castle. You are cordially invited, if you're too frightened to see the end of this picture, to go to the box office and get your full admission price refunded."

tist discovers a living organism that materializes along the spine at moments of intense fright, and dematerializes when the victim releases tension in a scream. Played by Vincent Price, the scientist is able to remove one of these so-called "tinglers" from the spine of a mute who has been frightened to death and physically unable to scream, but it escapes from the box he stores it in and inches its way into a nearby movie theater. First we see it enter the projection booth, where the projectionist is busy working on a roll of film, and then we see the film break and the silhouette of the tingler crawling across the blank screen. The screen goes black, and a voice announces that the tingler is in the theater, and instructs everyone to "scream, scream for your life!" Castle, in the film's monologue, had come on the screen to warn the audience that certain of their members might be more likely than others to feel the "mysterious electrical impulses" that mark the presence of a growing tingler, and at just this point in the film, certain members did. A number of theater seats in selected theaters had been hot-wired in advance, and a moment after the announcement was made, select viewers felt the sensation of a low-voltage electrical shock along their backs. Even in theaters which weren't rigged, the mayhem of the moment that followed was extraordinary. Having been at one of the screenings, I can personally testify: Every kid present screamed — the only time I've heard

actual screaming in a theater — and ran from their seats, crashing into other people in the dark. Minus the hoopla, and minus the audience's naivete, these films appear fairly flat when revisited on the small screen. As camp, they're not nearly as good/bad as Ed Wood or Roger Corman quickies, • although the contortions of plotting bring about some appropriately surreal moments. The climactic theater sequence in The Tingler is built around an exquisitely odd juxtaposition of shots of the "creature" humping its way among the feet of theater patrons, along with extensive excerpts from, of all things, the silent 1922 hillbilly melodrama To'lable David.

faucet into a white sink in the otherwise black-and-white film. There's also the tabloid element of beholding former stars like Joan Crawford (Straight-Jacket) in shockingly reduced circumstances — in movies which also served to extend the screen life of such marvelous character actors as Elisha Cook Jr., whose face is a movie all its own. Casde, who couldn't make it through an interview without equating himself to Hitchcock and Welles, was actually something less and something more — an old-fashioned showman. Castle's devotion to his audience was wonderful and rare; even at the distance of nearly four decades, the sheer force of his desire to scare you is a palpable w * ' pressure in his films. The films are almost wholesome by comparison to the kind of horror films that followed in their wake, and are thereby suitable selections for pre-teen fright fests. You might even consider a Castlesque extension of movie reality by dressing someone in a costume, or turning off the power at just the right moment. (Z)

The House on Haunted Hill went further still, featuring a skeleton that ran on a wire out of a secret recess and over the heads of the audience, a stage effect referred to in ads as "Emergo."

here is an intimate quality about the works of Leslie Fry that has made her one of the most successful artists in our area. Even her most monumental sculptures are as ethereal as whispers. One of Fry's recurring sculptural images, as evidenced in her current show at Burlington's Exquisite Corpse Artsite, is a bodice and full skirt resembling a 1950s prom dress. "Big Dress" is large enough to shelter a small family of Bushmen. Its shell-like exterior contains unseen or vaguely seen elements under the gathered shapes. Fry has combined steel and grape vines to create

objects are arranged in rows that become progressively larger. It is the only idea in the exhibition that seems a little pretentious. "These graduated heights in a stairway-like ascension aim to evoke a varied and fantastical audience," states the show's press release. Many viewers will find that the organization is more distracting than "whimsically disorienting," however; the wall pieces seem isolated from the rest of the show. Fry's works reflect an appreciation for the rare glimpses of a collective consciousness that survive in Western art. The wall pieces "Push" and "Envelopment" seem like unfinished frescoes

a timeless metaphor that transcends any overtly subjective statement about exterior perceptions. The 10-foot effigy recalls an ancient representation of Gaea, and the rigidity of the dress form seems to be the secret of its power. In "Step Dress" this basic image is used again, in a slightly larger than humanscale plaster piece. Here, the high waist of the bodice is attached to an abstracted, stepped pyramid. The image blends monumental architecture and figurative sculpture, as if to suggest that there should be a more public linkage between our spiritual and physical selves. Ideally, it ought to be 100 feet tall and cut from limestone blocks. But, compared to the tiny mixed-media "Comfy Shoes" series nearby, "Step Dress" looms large.

pried out of a villa in Pompeii. Her lyrical brushwork on heavy, reinforced plaster has the vigor of an under-painting that was interrupted before it became overworked. The watery, monochromatic lines in these pieces balance with their thick plaster like feathers magically balancing against anvils. Fry's technical range and natural facility with whatever medium she touches is astounding. Her images are inevitably haunting and personal, yet simultaneously mythic. From sculpted moss to monoprints, from a few inches tall to the height of an elephant, the works of Leslie Fry are truly full of grace. ®

Aries, what are you going to be when you grow up, anyway? The best damn rodeo clown w h o ever lived? A wisecracking astronaut with odd metaphysical notions that make N A S A nervous? A n almost overly charismatic leader of workshops on how to thrive in the face of a chronic identity crisis? These next few weeks will be an excellent time to tiptoe up to the brink of the verge of making a decision. Wise-old-elder vibes will be flowing your way in abundance, and may just wash away any inclinations you're harboring to remain a teenage idol into your seventies.

yourself in free-form, full-tilt explosions of vexation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The French writer Gustav Flaubert once commented that "To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost." Then there was Ambrose Bierce's definition of happiness: "an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another." I'm afraid that if you share either of these perspectives, Cancerian, you will not be able to fulfill your astrological destiny in the weeks to come. The planets, you see, are angling for you to get high on a very intelligent, discriminating, unselfish species of joy. L£0 (July 23-Aug. 22): The good news is you're recovering from your amnesia. The bad news is you're recovering from your amnesia. A n y minute now you'll probably feel the stinging yet invigorating jolt of repressed feelings and denied perceptions belching up out of their hiding places. Talk about hurting so goodl T h e q u i c k s you cry, ^ d the more tears you generate, the smarter and clearer you're going to be lai

moment you sense a self-destructive urge erupting, please interrupt the flow, then forcefully substitute memories of the times in your life when you loved yourself best.

But now I'm telling her — and all you Scorpios — that G o d is finally gearing up to give you a few pithy signs concerning your master plan.

LIBRA

21): For all intents and purposes, Sagittarius, you might as well be approaching a sign that reads, "Next Gas, Food and Lodging: 3 0 0 Miles." It looks like you're about to journey through the middle of nowhere on a lonely road, and your only companions may be mirages of black cats crossing your path and those weird little voices in your head. I highly recommend that before you begin, you stop at the last waystation and stock up on fuel, nourishment and any kind of good loving you can get.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Believe it or not, the best way to improve your relationship with money right now does not involve managing your time better, acquiring a new skill, or working harder. No, Libra, the most potent magic you can perform is to fantasize about all the wonderful gifts you would buy for other people if you had lots of extra cash. This exercise in generosity will mysteriously seduce the universe into conspiring to make your bank account swell.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 2 1 ) : In August, a Scorpio from North Carolina asked me to forward a message to God. "I don't mind being broke" she wrote, "or getting lost on back roads, or meeting fascinating total strangers, or taking an hour to answer the question, 'What do you

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-]

Sheryl Crow toiled forever as a backup singer before bursting into prominence with her own band. Oscar-winning Aquarian actress Geena Davis floundered as a waitress, clothing salesperson and human mannequin before breaking into stardom. They are both great role models for you in the next six weeks, Aquarius, because it'll be prime time to parlay your years of hard work into becoming an overnight sensation.

PISCCS (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): It would be a good time for you to aggressively collect a legacy, or to pin a picture of yourself as a child to your lapel, or to hire a puppet troupe to reenact the drama of your life story using marionettes in Renaissance costumes. It also wouldn't be a bad time to come to a negotiated settlement with your evil twin, or to silently thank adversaries who've reminded you w h o you really are and what you truly believe, or to try sailing over foreboding forests in a hot-air balloon. It is, however, an inopportune moment to commit the sin of trying to be perfect or to debunk the reality o f the invisible world. ( Z ) You can call Rob Brexsny, day or night for your

I don't want a challenge; he's been a challenge most c$ my lite. I've lest him once before, I will net lose him again. When I come in contact

with him I'm

lost in words, I want to say so much. — Lost and

Then, take a

deep breath and try it again. Love and
