VOTE SHUMLIN Peter Freyne hit the nail on the head ["Inside Track," Oct. 9] calling Anthony Pollina one of last week's "Hypocrites of the Week." Pollina has turned into the stereotypical politician to which he claims to offer an alternative. While Peter Shumlin refused to give in to the demands of the Republican House on the core reserve at West Mountain, Anthony Pollina was busy pandering for votes, supporting the camp owners who had already received a sweetheart deal. Peter responded by sponsoring a bill guaranteeing Vermonters the ability to hunt, trap and fish on the land and he has never wavered on his commitment to the core.

It is commitment like this that earned Peter Shumlin the endorsement of the Vermont Alliance of Conservation Voters, and the reason every Vermonter that cares about the environment should support him. While Peter Shumlin was serving as president pro tem of the Vermont Senate, he oversaw passage of Vermont's landmark campaign-finance legislation.

finance in Vermont and potentially across the country, all for his own personal aggrandizement and furthering his political career. Peter Shumlin has the vision, the passion and the experience to protect the environment and defend our groundbreaking campaign finance law, and should circumstances require it, Peter Shumlin is the only candidate running for Lt.

NO PRE-EMPTIVE WAR Thanks to Peter Kurth ["Crank Call," Sept. 25] for reminding me not to sit idly while Mr. Bush looks for some butt — any butt — to kick. What I can do is small potatoes, but it's better than nothing. I called Senator Leahy's office (642-3193) and Senator Jeffords' office (658-6001) to ask them to do whatever they can to stop Bush from launching a preemptive war. I'm writing this letter to Seven Days in hopes of encouraging others to do the same. Maybe if enough of us speak up, we can make a difference. I am patriotic and I speak out against the president's actions. I
am concerned about Iraq's capabilities and I seek alternatives to starting a war. If you don't share my reservations about the morality of this war, please at least think about the practicality of a new war. Have we vanquished Osama bin Laden yet? I'm quite sure I don't want my children to be imperiled by Iraqi bio-weaponry, but neither do I want them to grow up believing that "might makes right." I understand that too many people in Iraq wish us ill. I understand that they represent a threat. But Mr. Bush represents another kind of threat to this country. We're a nation of heroes, not a nation of bullies. I do not believe we should launch a preemptive war unsanctioned by the rest of the planet. Robin Lane Essex
WORK FOR PEACE I urge your readers to challenge the wrongheaded drive by the White House to attack Iraq ["Crank Call," Sept. 25]. Such unilateral action is plainly wrong. It is against the U.N. charter and is also a grave misuse of limited public resources. Bombing or invading Iraq will not make Americans safer. It will encourage anti-American sentiment throughout the world and

escalate the current cycle of violence and terrorism. Such action is not in the best interests of this nation. Our nation is now facing a huge budget deficit, increasing rates of unemployment and a weakening economy. To spend over $100 billion on war is both irresponsible and stupid. Some U.S. war plans, leaked to the press, envision an attack con-
centrated on Baghdad — a city roughly the size of Los Angeles — putting four to five million civilians directly in the path of U.S. military forces. Yet President Bush told the United Nations General Assembly "the United States has no quarrel with the Iraqi people." Let us prove that by sparing them our bombs and by seeking solutions based on diplomacy, international cooperation and the rule of law.

and at times even informative. However, this past week ["Inside Track, Oct. 9] Freyne's cute antics overstepped boundaries of responsible journalism. While trashing Anthony Pollina over an issue that Laura Routh all three of the Lt. Governor candidates, and really any sane individMiddlebury u a l running for public office, can agree on, Mr. Freyne throws in the FREYNE NO SEER cheap shot, "Congratulations, Like many readers, I find Peter Anthony!

issue [Oct. 16]. However, I expect that some may know not of the legend that inspired the Beanie for Peace silkscreen on the front of Section B last week. While David is a very fine artist, Beanie was an amazing talent. Vermont was blessed with a special voice that sang for the welfare of all. From the Furry Folk Festival stage with amplified glory to her unplugged street gigs, she howled in harmony. Beanie recently made a journey to the canine choir of angels; but her spirit remains and she is forever loved by many. Thanks, Beanie!
Excuse me, do we have a highly contested election in four weeks or does Mr. Freyne speak for the voters of Vermont? Hell, we can't say with certainty that Con Hogan won't destroy Jim Douglas and Doug Racine next month. And actually, Mr. Freyne, depending on the poll, Pollina is either winning or trailing marginally in the "Lite Gov" race.

RACINE IS RIGHT Your vote is what keeps us free. And your vote will affect our future. Please look at the proposals of the candidates in the gubernatorial race. Your vote will directly affect health care and education in Vermont. It will affect small businesses and economic development, clean air and water, prescription drugs, your children, my children. Please pay attention to the discussion. There is a difference between Racine and Douglas, and Racine has the right answers.
Mr. Freyne's "Inside Track" is the local equivalent to the Daily Show with Jon Stewart; it's funny, it talks about relevant topics, but it isn't where we should go for the truth. Thanks for the look into the crystal ball, Mr. Freyne, but I think I'll go to the polls anyway.

Paying Attention? lection 2002 has hit the homestretch and, with less than two weeks till D-Day, Vermonters are starting to pay attention to the very important battle for political control of the Green Mountains. There's a whole lot more at stake than you might imagine. The-TV and radio airwaves are bursting at the seams this week with political campaign commercials. The Democrats lit the fuse with a radio spot accusing the Republicans of trying to "steal the election." The ad highlighted the fact that both Jim Douglas and Brian Dubie refuse to support the not-so-radical idea that the candidate who gets the most votes on November 5 should win — even if no one candidate gets more than 50 percent of the statewide tally. Instead, both Slim Jim and DoobieDoo bristled at what they called an attack on their "character." And the Douglas campaign fired back with a TV spot mocking Democrat Doug Racine as a "flip flopper." Truth is, the Democrat radio spot was an attack on their character. Selfishly dis-
but make no mistake, Doobie-Doo would happily break a tie vote in the Vermont Senate to make parental notification the law in Vermont. And a Gov. Jim Douglas would happily sign it. A Vermont teenage girl would then be required to notify the father who impregnated her that she wants to abort her pregnancy. A Gov. Doug Racine would veto a parental notification bill or any bill that diminished a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion. It's a clear and important difference between them. No flip-flopping on that one by the Quiet Man. Or take medical marijuana. Last winter, even Speaker Walter Freed's Republican-controlled House backed a medical-marijuana initiative. A special study committee has been holding hearings and they'll have an anticipated pro-pot recommendation for the legislature in January. Jim Douglas, a 51-year-old who swears he's never inhaled, says he would not sign a medical marijuana bill into law. Nope. Jim listens to the Drug Czar, and we all

Truth is, the Democrat radio spot was an attack on their character. Selfishly disregarding the vote of the people of Vermont is a slap in their face. It's a perfectly fair shot. regarding the vote of the people of Vermont is a slap in their face. Its a perfectly fair shot. And calling Doug Racine a "flipflopper" is like calling the sky blue. Doug Racine, after all, is a flip-flopper. It's not exactly a state secret. It, too, is a perfectly fair shot. The fact is that Mr. Racine has changed his stand on a number of issues, from single-payer health care to construction of Chittenden County's controversial Circumferential Highway. He's moved to the center, as they say. The Quiet Man says it shows he's flexible and open to new ideas and changing realities. The fact is, folks, none of the contenders to succeed Howard Dean as governor of Vermont is perfect. So what else is new? What's new is that, day-by-day, more Vermonters are waking up to what's really at stake in this election. And they're waking up to what certain candidates really stand for. Kudos to our pal, Burlington Free Press columnist Sam Hemingway, for his Friday column that reminded readers just how far to the right Republican Lite-Gov hopeful Brian Dubie is. Sort of a kinder and gentler Ruth Dwyer. Its something Mr. Dubie would dearly like voters to overlook. Abortion rights hasn't been an issue of public debate on the 2002 campaign trail,
know our beloved Drug Czar has been supporting police raids on legal medical marijuana shops in California. Instead, taking a leaf from Nancy Reagan's failed "Just Say No" strategy, Slim Jim is touting a "Meghan's Law" for drug dealers that's been scorned by the Vermont Police Association as the pathetic piece of political hype it truly is. And what about civil rights, you ask? Civil unions for gay couples — the law in Vermont — has hardly been mentioned on the campaign trail. But make no mistake, a Republican-controlled legislature working with a Republican governor and lieutenant governor would happily bash our gay brothers and sisters and take a big bite out of civil unions. Let's not forget how the House of Freed enthusiastically passed legislation that repealed our landmark civil-union law and extended marriage benefits to any two people who currently can't tie the knot. In addition to gay people, it would include fathers and daughters as well as mothers and sons. The Republican bill mercifully died in the Democrat Senate. But the issue continues to smolder beneath the surface, and a Republican victory would clearly put the gay-bashers back in the driver's seat. It may not be what you hear and see in their TV commercials, folks, but make no INSIDE TRACK »

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN Authorities at Philadelphia International Airport arrested David Vassallo, 46, after he walked into the first-class cabin of a US Airways flight shortly before its departure and bragged to a passenger that he was an undercover federal sky marshal. The passenger turned out to be a real sky marshal. When the marshal asked Vassallo for some identification, he explained that he was a postal inspector on loan to the sky marshals, then conceded that he was just a regular postal worker from Virginia.' • Sheriffs deputies in Bullitt County, Kentucky, arrested Richard Crow, 35,

ERRANT B0VINES Four Norwegian motorists near Rogaland told police they saw only a large shadow in the sky before a massive impact shook the ground behind their vehicle. Investigators deduced that the falling object was a cow, which they theorized plunged from a 30-foot cliff overhanging the road. • South African police arrested a man with a stolen cow wearing human clothing after farmer Henrik Rautenbach reported spotting the odd couple. "I saw a man beside the road with someone creeping along a little behind him in the grass," Rautenbach said, adding that he discovered the ruse when he heard the creeping companion moo. The man, who was on the road between Reitz and Petrus Steyn, denied stealing the 6-dayold animal, telling police that he found it and dressed it in a shirt, scarf and blanket to keep it warm.
might pose a threat." According to a NASA document to Northwest Airlines, the agency wants to use "noninvasive neuro-electric sensors," imbedded in airport gates, to collect tiny electric signals that all brains and hearts transmit. Computers would correlate these physiologic patterns with data on travel routines, criminal backgrounds and credit records from "hundreds to thousands of data sources." • Engineers at Teradata, a division of automatic teller machine manufacturer NCR, are developing ATMs that are more like human beings. By using cameras and computer software to map users' emotions and nonverbal cues and reacting to them, the machines will be "one stage closer to behaving like a good, perceptive teller might so that interactive dialog can start beginning," Teradata engineer Dave Schrader told Tech Live. "The ATM can adapt itself to you instead of you adapting yourself to the technology." The real reason for implementing the new technology, Schrader acknowledged, is cost reduction. "If you can interface with an ATM instead of standing in line for the bank teller, it's good for you, it's faster, more convenient for you, and it's cheaper for the bank, less labor cost," he explained.

DIGGING INTO V E R M O N T ' S E C O LOGIC
Eco Backlash here's an old adage in politics that if you repeat a lie long enough, sooner or later people will start to believe it. That, unfortunately, is coming true as a result of the full-frontal assault on the states primary environmental law, Act 250. The corporate and development crowds are taking aim at Act 250 under the laughable assumption that the law is largely responsible for Vermont's economic doldrums. It's blatantly untrue. When you drive through the box-store madness of Williston or through the corridors of failed capitalism on the BarreMontpelier Road, it's hard to imagine how Act 250 has stymied development in Vermont. Development — many would say bad development — is everywhere. It's ironic, to say the least, that in the Green Mountain State, where we fly our environmental banner so proudly, politicians and regulators are being hoodwinked
take comments on their proposed rule changes. They got more than an earful of negative comments. In four hours, the board heard from only two people who praised their proposed changes. The rest, most of whom were from threatened environmental groups, criticized the board for caving to public pressure and offering "draconian" changes to a law that is working just fine. "What's the problem with the current rule?" asked Conrad Smith, who used Act 250 to challenge a golf course and housing development in Huntington. "Are we trying to send a message to developers that they won't have to worry about environmental groups anymore?" Others, like wildlife author Warner Shedd, cited statistics countering claims by developers that the process is cumbersome and unduly slows their progress. Their research indicates that 98 percent of all

development in Vermont. Development — many would say bad development — is everywhere. into believing that environmental regulations are causing the economic downturn. The rest of the nation — even the Wall Street Journal — seems to understand that the economy was hijacked by what Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan called "irrational exuberance." It was greed as evidenced by the Ken Lays of the world that drove the nations, and Vermont's, economy into the ground. The lie that Act 250 is hurting Vermont isn't being laughed at or ignored. It has been repeated enough that the mainstream media and statewide political candidates are beginning to take it seriously. Worse, the voices bashing Act 250 have become so loud during this heated election season that the Vermont Environmental Board, the quasi-judicial board responsible for overseeing Act 250 enforcement, has proposed its own dramatic changes to the rules governing the law. According to attorneys familiar with Act 250, the Environmental Board decided to act preemptively to avoid more drastic outcomes at the hands of its critics. The Environmental Board put out 19 pages of proposed changes. Among them is the decision to cut statewide environmental groups out of the Act 250 appeal process. As the law currently stands, organizations like the Conservation Law Foundation can be called in to assist individuals who find themselves up against a bevy of lawyers, paid experts and state agencies who are assisting developers in the process. Banning this assistance to individuals in a huge and unfamiliar battle zone puts one side at a definite disadvantage. Last week the Environmental Board held public hearings around the state to
I
Act 250 permits are granted. Most of the permits are sliding through the process in fewer than 60 days. "There were only six appeals by statewide environmental groups in the last 12 years," Shedd explained. In the end, those who didn't bother to show up and offer their testimony said more about this process than those who did. Where, for example, were the offended developers? Where were their sympathetic candidates — particularly Con Hogan and Jim Douglas — who've made axing Act 250 a central component of their campaigns? They were nowhere to be found. The reason for their absence is obvious: They didn't need to be there. After effectively throwing a stink bomb into the Act 250 process, the candidates are benefiting from the chaos they've created. Better yet, they've got the Environmental Board slashing away at the environmentalists for them. In his testimony before the Environmental Board last week, Steve Holmes of the Vermont Natural Resources Council called on the board "to stand up to those who are bashing Act 250" because "they are doing a disservice to our economy and our environment." That statement doesn't go far enough. It's time for environmentalists to put up a fight of their own. It could start by borrowing from the developers' playbook and taking their message directly to the people. And their message could read something like this: Act 250 should be strengthened and corporate criminals taken to task for our economic woes. (Z)

(New York Times) Linking stunning music with spectacular imagery, composer Philip Glass and director Godfrey Reggio shaped a new and unforgettable language of film. In this 1983 cult classic, huge clouds stream across a desert sky, harried commuters scurry amidst urban canyons, and cars careen along frantic freeways. Glass and his eight-member ensemble recreate his landmark score live for this special Flynn encore screening.

K, there's always the sniper, but first... Why am I getting so much spam in my email advertising "Sick Violent Rape"? I gather it's pictures or videos that they're selling. I get tons of spam, but I can't imagine I ever pushed a button that could have hooked me up with these people. There's "Brutal Rape" and "Sudden Rape" and "Granny Rape" and "Incest Rape." Raping your mother, apparently, is big. I swear by all that's holy I have never, ever, not even once opened one of these messages to see what it contains. And if you don't believe me, you can ask the homeland security people, who've got the right to look at anything they want to on my computer — and yours, too, by the way. It could be that I got on the rape list having once, "with no obligation," agreed to see if my computer contained any pornography or other improper content. The program was completely useless, flagging almost every document in my files.
And the Pope! The Vatican has canceled and nullified the American bishops' "zero-tolerance" policy for dealing with pedophile and other predatory priests. Just like that — snap! The victims are outraged, but two-thirds of American priests are siding with the pontiff, according to a poll: "A majority of respondents said the church, while protective of children, has been unfair to accused clerics by rejecting their rights to due process." Meanwhile, 15 percent of those polled described themselves as "gay." Let's hope it's no more than that, because we don't want a backlash! Readers of Seven Days' letters column will know that I'm always wrong when I address this topic. In fact, I'm never right. I don't know how I get into these tussles when I'm not even Catholic! So I'm moving on to North Korea, which isn't even Muslim, but nevertheless has admitted to having a nuclear weapons program of its own. It has "more powerful things as well,"
Now, call me a Communist, but you can't blame the North Koreans for being rude. They're Point Three on the Axis of Evil, and they don't think the Bushmen have been dealing with them in good faith. .

whatever those could be, although I'm sure they're "weapons of mass destruction." Now, call me a Communist, but you can't blame the North Koreans fox being rude. They're Point Three on the Axis of Evil, and they don't think the Bushmen have been dealing with them in good faith. Where they got this idea I can't imagine — the mysterious East! Anyhow, they're not Muslims and they're hopping mad. The North Koreans are so mad that they've been violating international law and acting unilaterally, that's how mad they are. Congressional Democrats are also mad that they weren't told about North Koreas "secret nuclear weapons program" until 12 days after the Bushmen knew about it. According to The Washington Post, "The Democrats suggest they were purposefully kept in the dark about North Korea to avoid complicating the congressional debate over authorizing the president to use force in Iraq." For this Congress, such a suggestion takes some balls, but what they ought to be asking is how one-third of the Evil Axis could have been working on a "secret" weapons program since 1994. Let's hope we get some better intelligence services real soon! Now, about that sniper — but wait! Bad Mom's back in the news. You remember, Madelyne Toogood-to-be-true, the mother who beat up her daughter on tape. I knew she wouldn't be content with just one episode. This time, she's charged with felony theft for stealing fabric from a department store. Let s hope she's got a whole series ahead of her! And they can't catch the sniper? Come on! ®

My brother's name is Dick, for example, so a lot of emails were put on the naughty list. Lets hope the Feds have better software than that! And how about that Saddam Hussein? Winning reelection by a landslide and letting all the prisoners out of jail — except for the ones he says are spies for the U.S. and Israel. There's a limit, after all. As Dubya says about our own preserve, "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier." Apparently, the Iraqi people were so overjoyed by Saddams magnanimous impulse that they rushed the jails and trampled a lot of the exiting prisoners to death. Most pundits are saying that Saddam's generosity is a blatant attempt to win the loyalty of his people before inspections fail and the U.S. pounces, but I don't agree. Saddam's an evil genius, don't forget, the greatest threat to peace since Hitler, and letting all the prisoners out makes Dubya look like a punk. I'm sure I'm right about this. As Governor of Texas, Dubya signed more death warrants than any other elected official still alive in America. For a while, when he was running for president, it looked as if his campaign might founder because he'd mocked the appeal of a death-row inmate, Karla Faye Tucker, who asked for clemency on the grounds that she was a born-again Christian — exactly what Dubya says he is. Told of her appeal, he pursed his lips and whimpered in a high voice, "Please, don't kill me!" Let's hope that someone a little less prissy leads the battle in Iraq!

O n e thing that separates the fluid from urine is that it con tains elevated levels of two proteins, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostate-specific acid phosphatase (PSAP). PSA and PSAP are found in male ejaculate and originate in the prostate gland, leading some researchers to conclude that women must have something analogous to a prostate gland themselves — the emerging consensus, in
"
fact, is that the paraurethral glands are the "female prostate." Orgasm may cause these glands to empty out. Some think that female ejaculate consists solely of discharge from the paraurethral glands, others that it's a mix of glandular secretions and urine, but I don't know of any firm evi-^ dence for either theory. I'm willing to believe it varies with the individual. N o n e of this would interest anyone but anatomists, however, were it not for the fact that for the past 20 years female ejaculate has been at the center of the controversy over the Grafenberg spot — the female pleasure center that some
Dear Cecil, claim is a myth. Many G-spot proponents contend that the I'm not asking this out of prurient interest, as lame as that female prostate is the G-spot and that stimulating the Gmay sound. I'm curious about the physiology involved with the spot triggers female ejaculation. % small percentage of women who experience ejaculation offluid Both these assumptions are questionable. According to during orgasm. I won't go into it, but I have personal knowlMilan Zaviacic, a leading authority on the female prostate, edge that the fluid is not urine or a lubricating secretion. What in only 10 percent of women is the gland located at the site exactly is the fluid, and from what part of the female anatomy commonly believed to be the G-spot. Even in cases where does it emanate? the female prostate and the G-spot coincide, no one has — BillB. persuasively shown how this would account for the intense
The problem you have discussing a topic like this is that people's responses generally break down as follows: • 10 percent say the ejaculate is urine. • 10 percent say it's something else. • 80 percent stick their fingers in their ears and sing, " O H , BEAUTIFUL F O R SPACIOUS SKIES, F O R A M B E R WAVES O F G R A I N . . . " Well, too bad. This is a legitimate question, and I'm going to do my best to get to the bottom of it if I have to gross out everyone on the planet. First let's agree on what we don't know. I don't want to get into the details either, but I too have personal knowledge of the fluid under discussion. I agree it's not a "lubricating secretion" — unlike the vaginal fluid produced during arousal, the ejaculate is watery and somewhat acrid to the taste. But I can't say definitely that it's not urine, at least in part. Unless you've got an unusually refined palate, Bill, old buddy, you can't say it's not either without access to a lab. For years the standard explanation was that the stuff was urine squeezed out of the bladder or urethra during the state of heightened muscle tension that accompanies orgasm. But conventional wisdom has shifted over the past two decades, and most sex therapists now seem to think the discharge is more than plain old stress incontinence. Litde research has been done, however, and none of it's conclusive.
sensations associated with the G-spot: the gland doesn't seem to be supplied with a cluster of nerve endings, for instance. (The outer third of the vaginal canal does have plenty of nerve endings, but as far as we know they're not concentrated at a particular location.) So, we can put the "G-spot = female prostate" theory to rest, right? Hold the phone. Zaviacic goes on to say that "the meatal type of the female prostate," found in 66 percent of women and located further down the urethra than the G-spot is supposed to be, "is a newly identified female erogenous zone important to coital female orgasm" — in short, he's still convinced the gland is sensitive to sexual stimulation, wherever it is. Zaviacic cowrote a paper on the subject with Richard Ablin, who discovered PSA, and Edward Eichel, a therapist who advocates the "coital alignment technique," a variation on the missionary position that supposedly makes it easier for the woman to come. (For details, see www.oralcaress.com/simultaneous.htm#perfect.) Eichel has described C A T as the "new^intercourse," and says it works in part because it stimulates the female prostate. I venture to say many women would welcome any improvement on the dismal sexual technique of the average male. But really now — a new female erogenous zone? A revolution in sex? N o disrespect, folks, but we've heard this before. — CECIL ADAMS

time of year when faceless editorial writers get the spotlight. This week the Brattleboro Reformer endorsed Democrat Doug Racine for governor. But the Rutland Herald and its sister sheet, the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, laid a real whopper! The jointly owned papers endorsed Independent Con Hogan for governor despite the fact that King Con, the ex-state bureaucrat who abandoned his bid for the Republican nomination, hasn't gotten above 8 percent in any of the statewide polls. How noble! The fact is the Rutland Herald has over the last couple years been a newspaper on a down slide. Its most talented writers and editors have departed for greener pastures, like Vermont Public Radio, where John Van

Instead, Mr. Douglas and Mr. Dubie are shooting for 91 votes under the golden dome in January as the way to seal their glorious victory. Cool.

significantly upgraded VPR's state news coverage. Positions have gone vacant under the austerity program of publisher R. John Mitchell. It's almost a year since veteran Statehouse bureau chief and columnist Jack H o f f m a n departed. Jack's position remains unfilled, and the Herald's political coverage has tailed off dramatically. Sure, sure, editorial writer David Moats' 2000 Pulitzer Prize for supporting civil unions was a marvelous achievement, but you often hear the talk in media circles that the Pulitzer went to Moats' head. The Rutland Herald's Con Hogan endorsement indicates there may be some truth to that. Ice Capades Update — With the court's permission, Graham Mink did not attend his recent status conference at the Palace of Justice on Cherry Street. Mink, you see, was busy working as a professional hockey player. The Stowe native and former U V M star plays left wing for the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League. Off the ice, things aren't going as smoothly. It's been a year since the thenUVM senior was arrested following a late-night Buell Street fracas. Mr. Mink was charged with aggravated assault — a felony — based on a Burlington Police investigation that found witness-
es who said the UVM hockey star had repeatedly kicked an unconscious young man in the head, fracturing the bone around his eye. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in jail. Obviously, a conviction would seriously impact Mink's blossoming pro hockey career. Mr. Mink has entered a "not guilty" plea, and his lawyer,
R. Jeffrey Behm of Sheehy Furlong and Behm, maintains his client is getting a "raw deal." In fact, Mr. Behm recently told the Portland Press Herald he felt his client's high-profile as a hockey star has been a factor in the state's case. "I think if he wasn't a wellknown hockey figure around here," Behm told the Portland, Maine, paper, "it would not have been pursued as vigorously as it has been by the state." Behm claimed Mink was acting in selfdefense and has "a very strong case." Deputy State's Attorney Margaret Vincent, the prosecutor in the Mink case, had "no comment." The Portland Press article, by sportswriter Jenn Menendez, also reported that UVM Coach Mike Gilligan was standing behind his former player. Mink's arrest, you may recall, prompted Gilligan to suspend him indefinitely from the hockey team. After all he went through during the infamous hockey-hazing matter, Gilligan didn't hesitate to crack the whip. Mink then quit school and turned pro. "We miss him as a player and a real solid guy," Gilligan told the Portland Press Herald. "He trained in our rink all summer and is always going to be a friend of ours." Very generous of the university to offer its facilities to a nonstudent, professional athlete facing a felony charge, eh? Despite the fact that Attorney Behm boasts of having a "strong" case, he doesn't want to have his client tried before a Burlington jury. He's filed a motion for a change of venue. "Because of the significant adverse media coverage of this incident in Chittenden County, and its repeated linkage in the media to the even more extensively publicized U V M hockeyhazing scandal, it is unlikely that Graham Mink can obtain a fair and impartial trial here," argues Behm in the motion. A hearing on Mink's motion to move the trial out of Burlington is scheduled for November 18. At the recent October 4 hearing (which, by the way, the local media ignored despite Behm's claim of too much publicity), Judge Brian Burgess indicated that if the two sides can't cut a plea agreement deal by December 6, the Mink case will be set for jury draw.

r Vermont. That's apparently why Burlington City Councilor Bill Keogh (D-Ward 5) wants to crack down on late-night hotdog consumption at Burlap's busiest intersection, at Church and Main Streets. In some towns these days they worry about snipers. In Burlington, Vermont, it's hotdogs. Go figure. Keogh, a legislator and a veteran baseball umpire and basketball referee, told Seven Days he thinks the two late-night hot-dog carts "keep people lingering" at the intersection after they come out of the bars at the 2 a.m. closing time. > "When you get people who've had plenty to drink," said Keogh the Ump, "they're potential behavior problems." » Damn hot-dogs eaters! Umpire Keogh's words are more than idle chatter, since he's the chairman of the city council's license committee. That's the committee that oversees the Queen City's watering holes. Hot-dog entrepreneur Kevin Shea thinks Councilor Keogh is off his rocker. Mr. Shea told Seven Days he's been in the tubesteak business for just over one year. It's hard work and long hours, but he owns the business and loves it. Shea proudly sells Hebrew National kosher quarter-pound hot dogs to what he describes as an "upscale, young professional -clientele." His dogs go for the -JBm SCUSfifl*V»>JOA Jif -. jtu, 1 : il ;v> • upscale price or $3 a pop. On a good Friday night, he might sell between 150 and 200 hot dogs. Shea told Seven Days he just doesn't see "how selling hot dogs can be such a bad thing." And even if Keogh succeeds in banning Burlington hot-dog carts late at night, he pointed out, hungry bar patrons could still "linger" at the intersection and munch on hot dogs purchased at Kountry Kart, where $1.50 buys two tube steaks. Shea said that Keogh wants to shut down vendor food sales at the corner at 11 p.m. And, he said, Keogh personally told him that Mayor Peter Clavelle supports the hot-dog crackdown. Clavelle told Seven Days the problem is too many people congregating at the intersection in the wee hours of the morning. It puts pressure on police services and limits cop coverage in other parts of the city. But later, Mayor Moonie contacted us and moderated his stand. Instead of banning hotdog sales after a certain hour, Clavelle said having the hot-dog carts move up or down the block and away from the Church-andMain intersection might be a better approach. How progressive! Sorry, Mayor Moonie. And sorry, Councilor Keogh. There's something truly Orwellian and un-American about restricting the sale of hot dogs on a public street. Has it really come to this? ® Email Peter at InsideTrackVT@aol.com

Selling salvation p o s t - 9 / 1 1
WRITER SUSAN GREEN IMAGES ANDY DUBACK
promotional piece inserted recently in copies of The Burlington Free Press bills itself as a "personal invitation to attend a Bible prophesy adventure in the Book of Revelation." The colorful brochure's cover proclaims, "Armageddon now! Time is running out for planet Earth." Another section mentions "world crisis" and promises "Hope beyond terrorism." This New Testament "adventure" is divided into six weeks of seminar classes, held Wednesdays and Thursdays at the downtown Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall. At the first session, about two dozen men and women of all ages — though many look like senior citizens — are seated at long tables. They're here to learn more about Revelation's highly symbolic passages on end-of-the-world phenomena. Technology thwarts theology when Ben Sosa — senior pastor of the Seventh-Day Adventist churches in Williston, Bristol and St. Albans — tries to link his spoken lesson to a malfunctioning audiovisual presentation. Images of celestial beings are ' precipitously cut off on the big screen at the front of the room. "These materials are yours if you come to 75 percent of the seminars,-" Sosa says, referring to the free rulers, pens, ring-binders with educational - %f pamphlets inside and King James Bibles distributed on the tables. "And you'll get a very nice diploma." OK, but what good are diplomas if Armageddon's just around the corner? Given last year's al Qaeda attacks, escalating problems in the "Holy Land" and the impending U.S. invasion of Iraq, celebrity evangelists have been making dire predictions. The Reverend Jerry Falwell recently warned, "There's not going to be any real peace in the Middle East until one day the Lord Jesus Christ sits on the throne of David." Many fundamentalist Christians, apparently seeing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in their rear-view mirrors, have been giving moral and financial support to the Zionists. "It is my belief that the Bible Belt in America is Israel's only safety belt right now," Falwell intoned earlier this month on "60 Minutes." This apparent affection for Jews stems from the conviction that everything is spelled out in the Book of Revelation, which details an ulti mate battle between good and evil in Jerusalem. In a literal interpretation of the text, only the "saved" will rise up in the "Rapture," the promised ascension to heaven. Everyone else on the planet will theoretically be destroyed by famine, plagues, earthquakes and worse. "A great deal of Revelation has already happened," suggests Connie Hallock, a member of Sosa's Williston church who helped organize the seminar. "These are the End Times, which started in the 1700s, but I think we're now seeing signs along the way — not the final cataclysm." Meanwhile, Sosa acknowledges that "people are confused and looking for something. As you open the newspaper, watch the news
REVEREND BEN SOSA This guy's shooting in Washington. The September 11 attacks. Are we going to be next?" That's precisely what bothers Dawn Savard of Winooski. "I don't know what to expect or who to trust anymore," says the 68-year-old grandmother as she waits for the session to begin. "I'm a native Vermonter. I never used to keep my door locked. Where I live now, there are people from India who look like the terrorists. That makes me a nervous wreck."
Even people without foreign-born neighbors seem more fearful these days. And others who lack a particular faith may be seeking the comfort of a conservative, fundamentalist belief system. Over at the North Avenue Alliance Church, which also serves an evangelical congregation, Pastor Michael Hengle says he witnessed a 10- to 15percent increase in attendance after September 11, though it dropped off a bit a few months later. "But within the last four or five months it's gone up again," he observes. "Since the beginning of 2002, we've had about 100 new people come to know the Lord. Usually, we have 35 or 40 a year." Hengle is among those clergy who look to the Middle East for signals. "We do believe the Lord is very clear that what takes place in Israel is key to what will happen to the world," he says. "The Jewish nation is the chosen people of God. But I tell [my congregation] no matter what they read in
Revelation, the Lord says that His grace is going to get us through." In 1985 Pastor Anna Drinkwine founded the non-denominational Victory Center, which meets at the Holiday Inn in South Burlington. She thinks the Book of Revelation only scares sinners. "Someone living a holy life would be appreciative," says the self-described "no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is preacher." When it comes to the issue of End Times, Drinkwine theorizes that "God is delivering a wakeup call, like 9/11." Wait a minute: Osama bin Laden was God's alarm clock? We know that he thinks Allah is solidly behind him. A story in Time magazine last month about the U.S. president's views on the terrorist attacks was equally chilling: "Privately, Bush even talked of being chosen by the grace of God to lead at that moment." These days, he seems to perceive this supposed divine intervention as his. permission slip to bomb Iraq. Nobody's paying attention to that Bob Dylan anthem from 1963, before he too embraced fire-and-brimstone: "...If God's on our side/He'll stop the next war." Ben Sosa joins the chorus of doomsday adherents. "We believe in a spiritual Israel that will rise up at the end," he says, adding a proviso that would surely be music to Dubya's ears: "Some of the prophesies we'll be touching on in the seminar are about how the U.S. will play a role in the EndTime prophesies." Two days after the World Trade Center collapsed, Jerry Falwell and fellow ideologue Pat Robertson publicly proposed that America "deserved" 9/11, that it was God's retribution for abortion, homosexuality, feminism and other liberal notions. "No, Satan did 9/11," Drinkwine contends. "But guess who's coming back soon? Jesus Christ." Although most evangelists are certain that the resulting Rapture will only accommodate the saved, she points to a loophole in Romans, Chapter 2 that would protect people never exposed to the Gospel.

FIRST-TIME SEMINAR ATTENDEE, SHERI SENESAC "It says God'll judge 'em by their conscience," Drinkwine notes. Like a born-again Oprah Winfrey, she's got her own T V program — "Victory for You" on channel 15, a cable-access station. When discussing Jesus, Drinkwine even sounds something like the ebullient afternoon talk-show host: "I don't bring people into a religion; I bring them into a relationship with Him. He was so radical, girl. He's awesome."
Pastor Ben Sosa, 31, probably would agree with Anna Drinkwine's assessment of Christ. "Many Christians just use His name, but don't have a personal experience with Jesus," he says. That's how it was for Sosa in his teen years.
Raised as a Seventh-Day Adventist in the small Mexican town of Montemorelos, he turned into a sort of party animal as he grew older. Then, while studying chemical engineering in college, he attended some religious meetings that changed everything. "I felt challenged to do God's work, the work of a preacher. Before that, I was looking for happiness, but it was only the kind that lasts a short time." After q; ,; tting secular school, Sosa enrolled in a seminary. When he graduated, the plan was to become a missionary somewhere overseas. "But I was invited to be a youth pastor in McAllen, a Texas border town where everyone spoke Spanish," he recalls. In 1996 Sosa was transferred to Michigan, where he learned English and discovered snow. Vermont beckoned four years later. The Revelation Seminar, which he taught previously in his native language, now includes a few tongue-twisters. When telling the VFW Hall crowd how Jesus appeared to the apostle John, Sosa says that "the Lord was wearing a golden griddle" — he means girdle, of course. His verbal description is illustrated on the screen by an ethe-4 real figure with upraised arms, sporting a white gown that has a wide yellow band above the waist.. Some of the pictures that flash by are bewildering, such as the one in which Jesus lays healing hands on a man dressed in a business suit. There are other perplexing messages during the presentation. An instructional pamphlet in the ring-binder vows, "You will identify the scarlet woman." Sosa mentions "a mysterious woman standing on the moon" and "the great harlot." Are all three the same person? Even more baffling is his passing remark that sounds like a sci-fi movie: "When will God's colossal space city come to Earth?" These puzzles don't seem to trouble Sheri Senesac, a 37-year-old Colchester resident drawn to the topic of End Times. "I read the Left Behind series," she explains, referring to best-selling books that dramatize the bleakest Biblical prophesies. "I want to know more about Revelation. It does make you wonder." Sosa assures any wondering seminar participants that all will be revealed, so to speak, by the last class. With any luck that will come before the big biblical blow-out. After all, the seminar pamphlet advises that Revelation was "written especially for our times — the last days of Earth's history." The pastor talks of "things that will come to pass, shortly." During a brief prayer, Sosa may be thinking cl Eternal Life rather than the next October morning when he pledges, "God is offering a great tomorrow." An apparently inebriated man in the classroom jumps up and asks, apropos of nothing, why the Virgin Mary was permitted to "disappear into heaven, without having to go in a coffin, like everyone else. Is she so much better than us?" A patient Sosa replies, "Sometimes it's difficult to understand God's ways." After muttering a few Hail Marys, the drunken inquisitor also disappears — through a door. He'd better hurry and get off the sauce to qualify for the Rapture, because the clock is ticking. But no one claims to know the Christian countdown's specific deadline. "Jesus is coming," Sosa later says, "but it's impossible to understand how soon is soon." (7)

T
he Vermont International Film Festival this weekend in Burlington has its share of foreign accents. At long last, the event's new executive director has one, too. Born in Bulgaria, Mira Niagolova learned about the Green Mountain State because Russian dissiSTORY dent Alexander Solzhenitsyn spent most of his 20SUSAN year exile in rural Cavendish after being expelled GREEN from the Soviet Union. The forces of history that allowed the Nobel Prize-winning author to return home in 1994 also facilitated Niagolova's exodus to IMAGE the West during the same period. The fall of the JORDAN S I L V E R M A N Berlin Wall — and the subsequent shredding of the Iron Curtain — opened the door. "That allowed us to travel," she recalls. When her husband was offered a position as microelectronic researcher in Montreal, "I didn't want to leave Bulgaria," she says, "but he had this good job opportunity." In Quebec, Niagolova was anxious to find work that suited her experience. "I was an anchor in the cinema department of Bulgarian National T V for more than eight years," she says of her career in Sofia, the capital city. "We had a program showcasing films1." Niagolova first earned a graduate degree in communications at Montreal's Concordia University, then found contractual work for the National Film Board of Canada in 1995 as the coordinator of entries for festivals overseas. She had enough free time to shoot two of her own documentaries: Trafficking Cinderella, a 1998 project, is about involuntary prostitution. A Parallel World, which explores life in a Macedonian camp for refugees from Kosovo, wrapped in 2001. Niagolova was in the midst of editing footage in 2000 when her husband accepted yet another job, as an engineer at IBM in Essex Junction. "I came here thinking there would be no film activity," she acknowledges. "That first year I was traveling to
Comfortable in his Skins Anyone planning to see Chris Eyre's Skins, which opens the Vermont International Film Festival this weekend, might appreciate the fact that Jon Kilik turned down offers from two "biggies" in order to produce the lowbudget indie about Native Americans. " I had to say no to Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York and Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can," explains the Manhattan resident, a 1978 University of Vermont graduate. The allure of those high-profile December releases, both starring Leonardo DiCaprio, did not alter Kilik's commitment to the little art-house drama. He had wanted to work with the relatively unknown Eyre, who also directed Smoke Signals, since they met in Utah at a 1996 Sundance workshop. "Chris was fresh out of New York
"This is a festival that makes us more passionate about each other." — Montreal all the time. But I saw some posters for the festival here and made a Canadian connection." That connection was the late Lorraine Good, a Canadian ex-pat who once ran the annual Vermont extravaganza. Niagolova agreed to join the festival board a year and a half ago, and was tapped for the top spot this summer.
University film school," Kilik remembers. "We optioned a book together, Peter Matthiessen's In the Spirit of Crazy Horse." That 1983 publication chronicles the controversial case against Leonard Peltier, a Sioux-Ojibwa-French activist convicted of killing two FBI agents. He is still incarcerated after 24 years. Kilik and Eyre have visited him in Leavenworth Prison, but have so far been unsuccessful in raising the money to bring his saga to the big screen. Financing Skins was no picnic, either. " I f s never easy when there are no movie stars and it's kind of a darker story," Kilik says of the $1.7 million production, which traces the lives of two brothers on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. Graham Greene, one of North America's most brilliant actors, plays an alcoholic Vietnam vet named Mogie. In their childhood years, he was once a hero to the younger Rudy (Eric Schweig), now a criminal investigator with the "rez" police department. The soundtrack includes songs by Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Robertson and Neil Young. Darker stories tend to be Kilik's specialty. " I look for scripts about people and places that don't have a whole lot of opportunities to be heard or seen otherwise," he says. "That turned out to be a gay Cuban poet in Before Night Fa lb, condemned prisoners at the Angola penitentiary in Dead Man Walking and a Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in Do the Right Thing."
Some of those ventures have been nominated for Academy Awards. Susan Sarandon won an Oscar for Dead Man Walking in 1995. But the golden statuettes have so far eluded Kilik's long creative collaboration with Spike Lee. The duo has a new film coming out on December 20, The 25th Hour, with Edward Norton, and they're considering a biography of prizefighter Joe Louis. Kilik is also mulling over a picture about a family of surfers that would reunite him with artist, filmmaker and writer Julian Schnabel; they worked together on Basquiat and Before Night Falls. A new Oliver Stone epic about Alexander the Great might also be in the cards for the peripatetic producer. At the Skins screening, Kilik will be introduced by his mentor, UVM Professor Emeritus Frank Manchel — the man who persuaded him that film can make an important contribution to society. He will also participate in a panel, "Challenges of Socially Conscious Film Production," and receive the first-ever Social Conscience Filmmaking Award from Burlington College. "The films I choose are more humanistic than political, except maybe for Malcolm X," Kilik says. "They're about ordinary people, about beliefs and values, about questioning authority. It might be death row, or African-Americans, or Indians. I can only get to one person or one block at a time." — S.G.

NIAGOLOVA
"I always loved the idea of small fests in small cities with a lot of atmosphere," says Niagolova, now 48. "I observed that there is an audience here and I'd just finished my own film, so there was sort of a vacuum for me." f ^ ^ j ^ S I I She was sucked in by the hectic pace of organizing a nonprofit. "It's been a good way for me personally to get to know the community," Niagolova explains. "This festival has a great future, even though it's out of the mainstream. Right now, with all that's going on in the news, people don't necessarily know the real stories. We show the global perspective of filmmakers."
With 53 selections from s e v e n countries, the 2002 VIFF — this Thursday through Monday in several downtown Burlington venues — underscores its mission of "images and issues for social change." Most entries examine concerns about the environment, justice and human rights, war and peace. In the last category, Niagolova's A Parallel World unspools on Saturday night. Documentary subject matter at Burlington City Hall Auditorium ranges from Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip to the AIDS pandemic in Africa to a dispute over traditional fishing grounds off the coast of Nova Scotia. The same Queen City location hosts Friday night films — about the plight of girls in Iran and about Russia's struggle with Chechnya, for example — that come by way of the One World International Film Festival in Prague. A Thursday gay and lesbian showcase in City Hall includes a look at the homophobia of many rightwing Christians, and at same-sex couples trying to raise children. Ten Vermont filmmakers, covering a plethora of interests from clay animation to traveling in the Himalayas, are being celebrated on Friday. The Nickelodeon is the site for Vermont premieres of 35mm American independents and offbeat Hollywood fare, as well as foreign-language releases such as A Time for Drunken Horses from Kurdistan and Water Under a Red Bridge from Japan. Koyaanisqatsi, an Earth-friendly cult hit in 1983, shows Monday at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts with composer Phillip Glass on hand to render his original score. "This is a festival that makes us more passionate about each other," Niagolova suggests. "It presents a statement of solidarity and mutual understanding." ®

xtramarital affairs, child rearing, even dirty dishes come between couples. But in the Vermont Stage production of Sylvia, the bone of contention is a dog. A.R. Gurney's comedy captures a ruff patch in a 22-year marriage while it stretches the defWRITER inition of going astray.

The humorous hook is that the dog Burlington, walks, talks and schemes like a human — 7:30 p.m. Matinees at everything about Greg's relationship with his new "best friend" suggests it is illicit. 2 p.m. For the first few minutes of the minimally Through October 27. staged play, it looks like Sylvia, acted with exuberance by Kathryn Blume, is actually a young girl. She might as well be, judging from the reaction of Greg's workaholic wife. Betsy Jessie portrays quick-witted Kate with a preppy chill. The older woman immediately resents Sylvia as an obstacle to her own mid-life plan — she teaches Shakespeare in an urban high school, and her career is taking off. Soon enough, she sees the dog as a threat to her marriage. The two females spend most of the first act circling around each other, but in the last scene the fur starts to fly. "You're nothing but a male menopausal moment," Kate screams at Sylvia. But the dog has the upper paw. "He thinks I shit ice cream," the bitch retorts, gloating.
Gurney uses the canine construct to introduce two people who, despite sharing a life and children together, appear to be moving in different directions. It's a clever device. Kate's resistance to Sylvia points out all the ways in which she fails to understand her husband's growing need to "connect with living." His devotion to his dog quickly escalates to wifely neglect. His long nighttime walks with Sylvia appear to be leading him away from Kate. With a light touch, Gurney manages to acknowledge the bond that can develop between species while at the same time making delightful fun of it. Blume is at her best when trying to intimidate a cat under a car. "Hey, hey, hey," she barks at the imaginary feline, then launches into an aggressive "fuck you, kitty" tirade that leaves her master breathless. "You want instinct, you got instinct," she tells Greg with street-talk bravado. "Here comes that Corgi. Should I sidle up to him or just ignore him?" "Surprise me, Sylvia," he says, admiring. Alan Alda-esque, he is at once searching and lost. The best comic moments in the show belong to John Alexander, who singlehandedly plays the three other characters. As Tom, he's the post-traumatic, animalobsessed buddy who tries to warn Greg about the dangers of dog ownership while the two watch their pups in the park. The men bond further when Tom's Bowser deflowers Sylvia. After the deed is done, Tom lights up a cigarette. His motto: "Play Now, Spay Later." Alexander also plays Kate's friend from Vassar — in drag — and nails the jaw-

Ultimately, though, Sylvia is more about dog people than the dynamics of a troubled marriage. The play could easily go deeper in the second act, but it stays fluffy from start to finish. Even a couples' therapy session with Greg and Kate fails to dig up any relationship history. If animal obsession is a symptom of something lurking in the shadows of the marriage, we never learn about it. Although Kate offers occasional Shakespearean snippets as comments on the action, they are, alas, only a tease. That weakness in the play makes the interaction between Greg and Kate awkward at times. No soul-searching dialogue between them prepares you for Greg's difficult decision regarding Sylvia. For the same reason, Kate's final epiphany comes across as somewhat sudden and farfetched. Gurney doesn't develop his characters any more than the plot requires — all three main personages are equally sympathetic and annoying. Vermont Stage does a good job mounting this witty, smart and provocative play. You can read between the lines all the way to the post-show coffee stop. But it might not have enough teeth to warrant a permanent place in Kate's curriculum. In the end, Sylvias got plenty of bark but not enough bite. ®

FINDING
A THRONE
IN
THE QUEEN
CITY
BY CATHY RESMER AND BROOKE CLOVER
THE
WOMEN'S
ROOM
When women say, "I'm going to powder my nose," men understand that this means they'll be going to the restroom. Perhaps men assume this is a quaint euphemism for a woman's bodily functions. In fact, it's a euphemism for a great many things, not all of which involve a toilet. Women go to the bathroom out of biological necessity, but they also interpret the term "rest rooms" more literally — using the facilities as a kind of retreat, a place to regroup and plan the next move. This is why women so often go to the bathroom in groups. It's a strategic maneuver. If men were smart, they'd use this time wisely as well, but they're too busy being afraid of each other. Women use the bathroom to check their appearances, to grasp desperately at the chance for a moment alone or, sometimes, to cry. Women's bathrooms should be designed with these purposes in mind. Women need space. A lobby area is preferable, but unfortunately is rarely practical — in our survey, Filene's is the only place that provides one. Roomy stalls that lock and can accommodate all body shapes and sizes are ideal. Adequate space in front of sinks and mirrors is vital. Because of their unique elimination needs, women also require trash receptacles in the stalls, and hooks or shelves for the many items they must carry. Sometimes, in an emergency, a woman may need to purchase a product from a machine. Ideally, the machine is operational and welt stocked. The bathrooms we surveyed were adequate for these purposes, though not ideal, especially with regard to "sanitary" product availability. My advice to women: Don't leave home without 'em. — C.R.
THE
MEN'S
Y
ou're walking down Church Street and Nature calls. Where do you go to, well, go? Don't look for a sign — you won't find arrows pointing to public restrooms; Burlington's pedestrian marketplace doesn't have any. But visitors can find plenty of potties in times of need — with a little help. Last week Seven Days dispatched two reporters — one man and one woman — to assess the state of the Queen City's bathrooms. We surveyed 10 downtown facilities on or near Church Street. Some are cityowned, some are in private businesses — but we did not include bars and restaurants, where theoretically only patrons can use the loo. The common denominator among our choices: The restroom is accessible not just to paying customers but to any desperate shopper, stroller, tourist or vagabond. We assigned ratings from 1 to 5 — 5 being the best — in six categories: access, ambiance, toilet paper, stalls, handwashing and overall cleanliness. Check the accompanying chart for our findings. Restrooms are more than a necessity — they're also a cultural statement. Consider southern lavatories once segregated by race, or the outhouses stocked with Sears-Roebuck catalogs when the U.S. was still largely a rural nation. You can learn a lot about a place by visiting its "john." So what do local bathrooms say about us? • W e c a r e a b o u t t h e e n v i r o n m e n t — t o a p o i n t . Burlington City Hall boasts a brand-new, environmentally friendly bathroom — definitely downtown's leader in state-of-the-art facilities. Architect Bob Duncan brought the aging bathrooms up to date with energy-efficient lighting and watersaver sinks and toilets that are both functional and classy. Of course, even recycled T P comes from trees. • W e ' v e c o m e a l o n g w a y , b a b y : M e n c h a n g e d i a p e r s , t o o . Both City Hall and Filene's have changing stations in the men's rooms. • W e live in a n i n c r e a s i n g l y g e r m - p h o b i c society. If the current trend continues, sanitary toilet-seat covers, the automatic flush and anti-bacterial soap will be standard issue in a few years. What next, an automatic wiper? • W e d o n ' t l i k e t o d e a n u p a f t e r o u r s e l v e s . Every bathroom in town has a litter problem. Apparently as soon as toilet paper, paper towels or feminine product wrappers touch the floor, they become someone else's responsibility. • The w r i t t e n w o r d d o n ' t g e t n o respect. Book theft is rampant at Fletcher Free Library and Borders, and their bathrooms apparently provide the bases of operations. Burlington needs some vigilante bibliophiles to keep the bathrooms in these temples of literacy safe and clean.
BEST:
ROOM
Men's rooms are usually nothing to write home about. Any guy who has seen a women's restroom knows the great inequality between them. Women's rooms are often larger and cleaner and have more or nicer accessories. Could it be because women sometimes go to the restroom in multiples? What I know from the movies and from my investigative partner Cathy, conversation is going on in there. Men, on the other hand, know it's taboo to strike up a dialogue with strangers in the restroom — especially those using the urinals. In his autobiography Beneath the Underdog, the late jazz genius Charlie Mingus discusses the discrimination of urinals. He complains that "white"-designed urinals did not take intc consideration that some people have long doinks. Apparently Mr. Mingus had a long doink and had to hold it up every time he visited a "white"-designed urinal. I'm not sure which ethnic background is behind urinals, but I too have a complaint with them. Some urinals are installed too high, and I am 6'3". Instead of projecting directly into porcelain in front of me and suffering from splashback, I prefer — as I imagine others do — to project down. Remember Newton's law> urinal installers: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction! — B.C.
CITY
HALL
The new City Hall bathroom gets my vote for best of the survey, hands down. This restroom was immaculate. I liked it the second I walked in — agreeable aroma, pleasant ambience with two-tone yellow-and-salmon tiles lining the walls. There's an outlet for a hair dyer or electric razor, a baby-changing station and sparkling clean stalls. Its accessibility, quality and full toilet-paper dispensers ensure that citizens will keep coming back to relieve themselves. This honor may not, however, come as a relief to the employees of City Hall. — B.C.
WORST!
BURLINGTON
TOWN
CENTER
(MID-MALL)
The owners of Burlington Town Center recently spent a lot of money to revitalize the downtown mall. Clearly some of this cash trickled down to the bathrooms. Both mall restrooms have stalls that lock and hooks for your backpack or purse. The mostly grout-free tiles don't exactly gleam, but at least none are cracked or missing. The sinks and faucets look new, and the motion-sensor dryers work just fine. Even so, the bean counters obviously cut a few corners. The faucets only run for nine seconds, not nearly enough time to warm the water for handwashing, at least in the mid-mall women's room. There are no sanitary seat covers, a real necessity in this location given the amount of pee I saw on the seats. There are no sanitary product dispensers. Worst of all, the toilet paper is the cheapest in town. It rips off the roll one square at a time. The worst thing about this lowest-ranked restroom is that the people who use it trash it. It is the mall, after all, and these are the closest thing Burlington has to truly public restrooms. O n a busy weekday afternoon, they looked the part. When I returned Saturday morning, the toilet had been plunged, the graffiti erased and the trash emptied. But I got the sense that the cleaning staff is fighting a losing battle. My advice is to walk the few extra steps to Filene's. Their bathrooms are cleaner, more spacious and much more inviting. — C.R. PHOTOS: MATTHEWTHORSEN

COMMENTS
The brand-new facilities lack the character of the previous marble- and wood-stalls, but earn props for cleanliness, color scheme, lighting, quality TP and sanitary seat covers. Great, easy-to-find location on the first floor. Too bad ifs only open M-F, 9-5.
I think Martha Stewart was doing some freelance work to pay her lawyer fees and found a gig in Burlington. This restroom will have you wanting to hang out a little longer than you might need to (bring your own reading material) A veritable tour de flush.
Try it if you're looking for a little adventure. The view from the window in the handicap stall is worth the pass through the metal detector. But don't expect a private attorney-client chat (see His).
The walls are thin; I could hear Cathy breathing in the women's room. Though the tiles are gray and lifeless, a great big window in the corner stall gives the user a decent view of downtown. I'd advise keeping grunting to a minimum.
The allure of a new automatic flush urinal and fancy soap squirter/deodorizer is undermined by toilet-bowl cleaner at eyelevel on top of the paper-towel dispenser. A toilet brush leaning against the wall and brown-stained TP under the plunger majorly grossed me out.
Though the floors are dirty, there are plenty of cleaning products lying around for anyone who wants to help out The urinal has an automatic flushing device that makes a crow "calk" sound when it goes off. Weird.
This bathroom has gone downhill over the past year during City Hall bathroom renovations. Threatening signs and a video camera at the entrance foreshadow the view inside: grout creeping up the tiles under the sink and a plethora of graffiti. Memo to City Hall: FFL needs help!
The stench was horrid. Toilet paper and water were on the dirty floor, there are no stall doors, and only one out of three stalls had TP. A janitor's closet was probably supposed to be locked but was open — perhaps another hint for customers to get in on the cleaning action.
There's no women's restroom outside of the locker rooms — men's and unisex options only. Nice soft TP makes up for sweaty, musty locker-room motif. Unisex W.C. is roomy and private, in more ways than one — a sign says "restrooms are for members and staff." Door locks at 6 p.m.
It was warm at the YMCA. I had to peel off my sweater to keep from sweating on my notebook. A guy walked in heading towards the urinal. He took a glance at me scribbling and sweating and locked himself in the toilet stall instead. The urinal is an excellent antique, deep-dish low one, with no chance of splashback. No need to use the gym — I lost five pounds in water weight by the time I left.

Most grocery stores keep the bathroom in back, but City Market's unisex one is up front, by the customer-service desk. Ifs orderly and unpretentious, and the black tiles still shine. Cleaning products are placed within sight but under a shelf. I've never been in a Shaw's bathroom this clean. Bonus: Free popcorn from the deli when you leave!
Nice black tile and a deep toilet bowl. The restroom has plenty of reminders: a large sign on the mirror telling employees to wash their hands, a sign on the door reminding customers to return the key, which has a chain on it the size of a ship anchor.
n/a
A sign on the door says the bathroom is "clean and working, quality checked by employees regularly." That's mostly true, though the hand dryer is broken. A chair and reading material make this, um, handy spot quirky and surprisingly charming.
Here the men's room had romantic dim lighting, a great smell of cheap perfume, a coat hanger and a chair. Behind the sliding glass mirror of the cabinet I found some peroxide and the empty plastic tub of Country Crock spread. Hmmm.
This is the bathroom of choice for anarchists who want to make multinational corporations pay to flush their shit. Cheerful red- and yellow-tiles are at odds with the clogged toilet and empty, broken TP dispenser. The stalls don't lock, they just get stuck. One faucet never warmed up. Not quite gross, but close.
A vexing ambience: brick red and aluminum line the walls, the floors were dirty, and the two urinals were very high. Beware of splashback.
Burlington Town Center
The middle-mall restroom the day I was there was messy and depressing: clogged toilet, pee on the seat, cheap TP, faucets that shut off in nine seconds but don't warm up, lewd graffiti. A separate unisex handicapped-accessible room was locked — perhaps for cleaning?
I actually had to pee by the time I got to this one. You need a partner to wash your hands, because the timed faucets only stay on for a few seconds before you have to push them again.
Filene's
At first glance this is a porcelain palace —• nine stalls, a lobby with four chairs and a full-length mirror — but many stalls don't lock or have hooks for bags. The sanitary supplies dispenser was out of order and the faucets only run when you press a button. But silver R2D2-like trash cans and fake flowers are a nice touch.
Speakers above the aisle that leads to the restroom were playing smooth jazz, perhaps to relax you before you get there. Almost a whole ball team could go at once here — there are five toilets, three urinals and five sinks.
This would have rated highest two years ago, but heavy traffic, vandalism and shoplifting have taken a toll. All three stalls lock and have hooks, but also have some graffiti. I saw pee on the seats even though sanitary seat covers were available. There was trash on the floor and the receptacle was overflowing. The token system — you have to ask a salesclerk for one — is a major annoyance.
Ifs hardly worth waiting for the token here, because, like the library, this place smelled. There were shoe prints on the walls, the floors were dirty and the lighting was annoyingly dim. Graffiti adorned the walls in one stall, but it was illegible because someone had made a half-hearted attempt to erase it. The handicap stall was big enough to fit a queen-sized bed, though.

he need to let it all out is universal. Handy terms like pakhana or shayrooteem will help you find the facilities when you get that sinking feeling in Islamabad or Tel Aviv. But tracking down the local rest area doesn't necessarily yield a porcelain throne. The following anecdotes, flushed from our own experiences, take you around the world in seven toilets. Bear in mind as you read them: As much as our crapping cultures may vary, our internal plumbing is basically the same. We hope this thought will inspire you to visualize world pees — wherever you happen to be sitting.

retained their squat potties, most had at least one "Western Style" toilet. Every time I heard that phrase, I imagined sitting astride a freakishly large white bowl wearing a 10-gallon hat and a vest with leather fringe. In fact, the fancier "Western Style" toilets I encountered at my home stays were more like Star Trek captain's chairs. They sported armrests and consoles full of buttons on either side. I never got a chance to explore all my options on one of these elaborate pink contraptions, but I understood enough to know that I could warm my seat if I wished, or make it vibrate. I could also activate the jet spray and determine the temperature of the water it squirted out to wash my bum. These fancy toilets depressed me — the Japanese had out-Westerned us. Recently, The New York Times News Service carried an article by James Brooke in which he describes Japanese toilets that double as air conditioners, and toilets with retractable mechanical arms holding little spoons for urine collection and testing. "Toilet jet sprays are now in nearly half of Japanese homes," Brooke writes, "a rate higher than that of personal computers." Is this what's next for us? I think I'd rather squat. — Cathy Resmer
TURKEY' DOOING BUSINESS Legend has it that Ephesus was founded when sages foretold that a wild boar and a fish would show migrants where to build a city. A traveler from Greece named Androklos was frying up a fish on a fire when some sort of combustion occurred and the fish flew out of the pan into a bush, landing on a snoozing boar. As you can imagine, this upset ol' porky immensely arid it took off running. Androklos chased the beast down and killed it, and it was on this spot that Ephesus was erected. If you think that's bizarre, you should see the toilets they set up. The toilets are numerous and public. Not so much like the public toilets we know and love, they resemble the setup of a modern classroom — in a circle with no doors or stalls. Men would sit side-by-side on the stone bench toilets and converse about current events as they did their business on the can. I suppose it could save time by cutting down on office meetings during the busy workday. Ephesus is famous for having such residents as Napoleon, Augustus Caesar and the Virgin Mary, who supposedly went there to die. I can imagine a conversation: "Hey, Augustus, give me a boost, these seats are too damn high." "Sure. Hey, look, its the Virgin Mary." "I don't know, I'm a skeptic," says Napoleon. "Did they really name that salad after your dad?" — Brooke Clover

The only choice was to crouch down in the "hold" and just doo it. Then carry it up — carefully — and launch the odiferous offering into the mighty Nile.

JAPAN: SQUATTERS' RIGHTS I traveled to Fukuoka, Japan, in April 1992. People warned me about the Japanese toilets — I'd be squatting over a small gutter. No sitting down! How primitive and strange, I thought. They can build a car engine that runs for 200,000 miles, but the women cant sit down to pee. I was intrigued by the cultural differences. I secretly wanted to squat. Maybe, I thought, the Japanese are tuned in to some basic human need that we've all forgotten about in the States. But when I got to Japan, I discovered that while some of the public restrooms

ADVENTURES
NICARAGUA: FLASH FORWARD Most Nicaraguan bathrooms seemed to be missing a key component in the mid-1980s. Ousted president Anastasio Somoza reportedly looted $3 million from the national treasury before fleeing to Miami during the 1979 revolution. Could the dictator also have absconded with all the toilet seats? More likely, the sit-on-the-rim reality was a result of the United States' economic embargo, which made imported consumer goods scarce in the embattled Central American country. I brought along my own supply of toilet paper. But I wasn't prepared for total darkness. A lights-off policy protected the remote Sandinista militia camp in the mountains of Matagalpa from nightly mortar attacks by the contras, the Reagan administration's surrogate army. When I needed to use "the facilities," a young companero guided me to a bank of rudimentary outhouses. With the moon obscured by clouds, when I opened the door to the stall, I couldn't see anything inside. In desperation, I snapped my automatic camera several times. The flash briefly illuminated the rough-hewn wooden boards that served as a seat in the land of seatless privies. — Susan Green Yugoslavia, defecatory details like hot water and toilet paper were luxuries you couldn't take for granted. At the public toilet in Titograd, a scowling old woman in a headscarf served as traffic cop. Whether you came in simply looking out for number one or had a broader agenda in mind, each commode customer was issued a single square of tissue. To ensure that no one received more than the prescribed allocation, the meticulous monitor used her thumb and one finger — which she carefully licked between each sheet. — Ruth Horowitz
BENIN: AFRIQUE OF NATURE It's bad enough having the runs in Africa. But when the "bathroom" is a 12-inch hole at the other end of the compound you share with three dozen jeering Beninois locals, well, you watch what you eat. I watched where I aimed, too — and not everybody did — with an eye out for the giant cockroaches that crawled up out of the hole at night. A flashlight was crucial, even if it did send the critters scurrying into dark corners and cast ghastly Kafkaesque shadows on the mud walls. The cap over the crapper was earthen, too, which was another source of anxiety. Peace Corps legend told of one ill-constructed "outhouse" that collapsed under a newly arrived volunteer. He spent 12 desperate hours treading turds and roaches before he was fished out of the drink and psycho-vac'ed back to the states. Failed his toilet training. The only thing worse than pooping in that hole was puking in it. — Paula Routly
RUSSIA: COMRADES' ACCOMMODATIONS """]
The weather was still raw in April 1987 when I went out for a private tour of Moscow's uncapitalist version of the Church Street Marketplace with a handsome college student/translator named Sasha. We popped into a coffee shop to warm our hands and share some caffeine with the comrades. Everyone seemed to know at once that I was American; I was acutely aware of being not just myself but a reluctant representative of the enemy. So imagine my surprise, 15 minutes later, to find myself listening to Beatles songs on the sound system and singing along with Sasha, who also knew all the words. We drank more coffee and did our part to defrost the Cold War. Then we went out for a stroll. And that was when I had to pee — that uniquely urgent need for relief caused by several cups of joe. I asked Sasha politely where I might go. He looked puzzled, then troubled. For good reason: We ended up walking around for at least two hours, my bladder growing in girth and fragility with each step. Apparently walking into a shop and asking to use the loo just wasn't done. I, however, was almost done for — to hell with detente, I would gladly have dropped trou and pissed on the street — by the time Sasha finally spotted an actual public restroom. I made a dash for it, praying there would be no line. Ignoring the old babushka-style attendant, I sat down on an ancient toilet in a private stall — battered but relatively clean. I let loose for a full five minutes, plenty of time to contemplate this particular curse of the working class. — Pamela Polston

T
he great American photographer Arnold Newman reportedly said that "photography is one percent talent and 99 percent moving furniture." While few might agree entirely with that modest statement, the mention of household goods does have significance. Newman was the innovator of the "environmental portrait" — the picture taken in a natural WRITER setting rather than in the studio. After decades of PAMELA stiff, formal photographs emulating centuries of POLSTON stiff, formal oil paintings, the idea that a subject could be depicted relaxing, say, in their living room or backyard was radical and refreshing. When Jamie Cope studied photography with Newman at the Maryland Institute College of Art back in the 1960s, she took to heart his straightforward advice: "Just photograph the way you want to." Now 81 and living in Montpelier, Cope is still doing exactly that. Some of the photos in her new book, entitled simply Portraits, were taken last summer; by Jamie Cop others date back to the late '60s, which means the 63 black-andm white compositions span her professional career.

faces. Later, at the Art Institute, she began to focus primarily on the portrait. "I prefer photographing people more than anything else," she says simply. And she graduated to Hasselblad and Nikon. Ironically, it was Cope's experience with age discrimination — she was a "late bloomer" as an artist — that led to some of her most rewarding work. She has become known for her photographs of older people, including a series of distinguished, "high achieving" elder Bostonians and another of Vermonters. An exhibit of the latter work toured the Green Mountain State, including a stint at Burlington's Fleming Museum in the late '80s. Last summer, Senator Patrick Leahy sponsored her photography show at the Senate building in Washington, D.C. • ' ' Over the years Cope pursued jobs as a newspaper columnist, radio show host and T V producer — all focused on elders and matters important to that demo• ' / graphic. As an active, productive senior citizen herself, Cope could hardly be a better role model. She has also worked in public relations for the state's department on aging, and then for travel and tourism. Throughout all her jobs, Cope kept shooting. She continues to do her own darkroom work.

sented in her slim, softbound volume, which was beautifully printed at the Stinehour Press in Lunenberg. T h e photos are of children and adults, shot indoors and out, posed and seemingly serendipitous. Some are urban — such as "Sisters," three dark-haired girls standing against a grafitti'd concrete wall — and others sylvan, like "Sayers in ferns," a preadolescent nude girl reclining face-down in the woods. Cope's own children, Cameron and Tami, appear as adults. In only about half the pictures are her subjects looking at the camera.

years and environs and subjects in Portraits. Cope herself suggests in her introduction, "Technically, I found I had a visual understanding of the tonal range of black and white film... I believe this sensitivity must have come from growing up in Hollywood during the 1920s and into the early 1940s when black and white films flourished." Cope's portraits are not cinematic, however, but naturalistic. Indoors or out, her use of light is magnificent and uncontrived. Some of her subjects seem bathed in light; others seem to be the source of it. In the darkroom, Cope finds her way to saturated, rich tones with a full range of grays. O n e of the most beautiful portraits appears on her book's cover: artist M a u d Morgan, reclining on a rattan settee, her white hair and aquiline profile illuminating the picture, her attitude both rakish

But she also contends, "I didn't want to be distracted by a lot of words. T h e photo should fill you in; each is an emotional experience. If you just sit down with that book, or any book of photography, that's what it's all about." ®

Burlington's premier all-ages nightspot, 242 Main is the unofficial home of the local punk and hardcore scene. Look for piercings and dyed-dos at the club's handful of monthly gigs. While moshing and slam-dancing prevail in the dark room under Memorial Auditorium, the smoke- and alcohol-free environment is patron-friendly. Visit www.242 main.com for a list of upcoming shows.

"KICK" will bring national and local DJs and bands to the Main St. nightspot.

The debut "KICK" this Thursday will feature local drum 'n' bass DJ Tricky Pat, live electronica adventurers Concentric and MC Kabir. London-born, Boston-based Kabir has been tearing up the East Coast with his intelligent, rhythmic rhymeflow and has performed with hip-hop heroes The Roots, The Beatnuts and Wyclef J e a n .

SEVEN DAYS I october 23-30, 2002 I contents 3 7 A
reviewth i ATMOSPHERE, GOD LOVES UGLY (Razor & Tie, CD) Hip-hop's "next big thing" has been racking up the press lately in international beat circles. Brainchild of Minneapolis native MC Slug, Atmosphere is indie hip-hop with an ear turned to the mainstream. Self-deprecating rhymes are the special on God Loves Ugly — each tune serves up Prozac-nation insecurities and fiery anger. The production, courtesy of Ant, focuses on tight, minimalist beats that lend Slug's depressive rants a lo-fi feel. The lack of cocksure fronting is refreshing, yet by the disc's end, Slug's "artsy" insecurity seems almost as overblown as modern hip-hop's thugdom. Tunes like "F*@K You Lucy" and "A Song About a Friend" even feature whiny, raw violence comparable to that of mall-rat superstar Eminem. At his best, Slug's slacker charm makes him one of the most talented voices in the hip-hop underground. But if he continues to stray from art-hop to gansta fronting, Atmosphere risks disappearing into high-profile hip-hop wasteland. Weigh in at the live show next Wednesday at Higher Ground. — ETHAN COVEY
SHAUNA ANTONIUC TRIO, THE DREAM'S ON ME (self-released, CD)
INSTANT DEATH, NEW EVIL VIBE (Chocodog, CD) In the mood for sloppy, searing, dumb-ass rock about screwing and getting wasted? Instant Death, the pet project of Ween bassist Dave Dreiwitz and drummer Scott Byrne, specialize in fuzzy pop-punk for the glue-sniffing crowd. New Evil Vibe is a collection of 28 stoner-pop nuggets, from the crack-smoking epic "Big Black Buick" to the suicide love song "Sweet Relief." The Ween similarities are many, as both Instant Death's subject matter and knack for a great hook mirror that of the New Jersey tricksters. Tune after tune features sing-along melodies and slapstick lyrics, and they're... great. Sure, the idea isn't exactly new, and you won't be seeing Instant Death on the Grammy platform anytime soon, but they do manage to make delightfully stupid pop without being annoying. A difficult task indeed. Instant Death, along with Chris Hartford & the Band of Changes, play Nectar's this Saturday. — ETHAN COVEY
BALDWIN BROTHERS, COOKING WITH LASERS (TVT Records, CD) In the new electronic age, swanky, space-age groove albums have become a dime a dozen. Groups of frustrated stoner musicians wielding a Fender Rhodes organ, sampler and a couple of turntables have blossomed into many a chill-out phenom. Chicago's Baldwin Brothers offer yet another variation on the instrumental beat-pop mold. Featuring synth man T.J. Widner, drummer Jason Hinkle, bassist Jimmy Deer and turntablist JB Royal, the Bros concoct electro-funk cuts that sway from hip-hop to radio-friendly pop. "That's Right" and "Funky Junkyard" focus on simplistic samples and subtle electronics to create tunes suitable for both Saturday night groovin' and Sunday morning come-down. The four cuts featuring guest vocalists push the Baldwin sound into more distinct categories — with mixed results. Miho Hatori and Angie Hart lend a sultry edge to the bouncy Euro-pop of "Dream Girl" and "Deep Down," respectively. Yet the tunes end up sounding like watered-down FM pop. Barron Ricks fairs better, adding fluid rhymes to the fusion workout of "Urban Tumbleweed." Still, the Baldwin Brothers succeed most when left alone to brew up their funky experiments. They demonstrate this Monday at Club Metronome.
Shauna Antoniuc's voice is sweet, soft and girlish, vulnerable-sounding in the best sense of that word. She has lent i t to the acid-soul unit Belizbeha, as well as a band that could hardly be more different: the country-western swingers Rick & the Ramblers. Plucked from college classes for duty in Belizbeha, Antoniuc was still tentative, vocally speaking. But now, a few years older and stage-seasoned, she seems to have found her musical apotheosis in songs written decades before she was bom. With her eponymous trio — alongside guitarist Joe Capps and saxophonist Chris Peterman — Antoniuc delivers mellow jazz-pop from the masters of the genre: Hoagy Carmichael, George Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter. With their debut disc, The Dream's On Me, the trio puts its mellifluous stamp on 13 standards and one original by Peterman, "Sing Me to Sleep." Antoniuc has yet to develop the burnished sensuality of the magnificent Julie London, but she compares favorably with current Hot Young Thing Norah Jones, and my guess is Antoniuc has studied the techniques of both. In any event, The Dream's On Me marks a most pleasant vocal evolution: a decided purr in Antoniuc's lower register, and greater control from bottom to top. I t could be the material — Fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehavin'," Carmichael's "Skylark," Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek," and the like — that brings out her inner seductress. She certainly isn't the first young chanteuse to fall under the spell of such songs; that's one reason they've become standards. Peterman's sax is the perfect foil for Antoniuc; his playing is lyrical and as smooth as water tumbling downstream. Capps, an accomplished jazz guitarist with many a solo gig to his name, stays in the background here, but competently. He also recorded and mixed The Dream's On Me at his Pokerhill Studio in Underhill. All three are credited with producing. Speaking of credits, nowhere does Peterman's last name appear on the CD's sleeve, so keep i t in mind when you give i t a listen. The Dream's On Me provides a pleasing late-night or Sunday-morning backdrop — or whenever Mellow is.called for. However, the disc, and the live act, are better than aural wallpaper; this is a small, romantic gem for those who like dancing cheek to cheek. — PAMELA POLSTON

EXHIBIT Susan Dygert, paintings. Art's Alive Gallery, Union Station, Burlington. Through November 11. ARTWORK Detail of 'Id Ocean II," by Susan Dygert
PHOTO Matthew Thorsen
ate October is not a particularly pleasant time of year. The weather finally turns blustery and everyone seems to be walking around with a head cold. Within this context of changing seasons, Susan Dygert s exhibition of 13 acrylic paintings at Union Station, entitled "Mind Matters," provides needed respite. Her abstractions are brightly colored, though calmer than the fiery foliage that recently engulfed the state. Her brushwork is active and confident yet is refreshingly free of autumnal angst. Dygert describes her art as "a body of psychological and spiritual self-portraits." If that's true, she must be a happy person. These are not the ragged psychological and spiritual self-portraits of Soutine, Van Gogh or Egon Schiele. Dygert does not pretend to have a tortured soul. She simply makes nice pictures. "Self Analysis" is a balanced study of ellipses and a compartmentalized geometry of rectangles. Dygert relies on a few simple color harmonies in this body of acrylic paintings. The broad areas of color in "Self Analysis" are mostly limited to alizarin crimson, golden yellow and white. A few stringy lines of cerulean blue and thicker whites are drawn to the left of the central, vertical axis of the painting. Dygert handles acrylic paint very well, scrubbing and scumbling the canvas. She also builds layers of transparency with thin glazes. Besides the crimson and yellow harmony, Dygert s other chromatic themes are blue and yellow and green and yellow. Her use of few complementary colors contributes to the calmness of her works. "Id Ocean I" has a full range of greens, from passages of yellow-green to almost black. "Id Ocean II" has a similar range of values based on blues. If blackand-white photographs were taken of both paintings,
the care with which Dygert organizes values would become crystal-clear. Her geometric framework is loosely based on dark and light grids. Both of these "Id" paintings have semi-transparent circles of varied diameters that move in and out of the grids and add depth to the paintings. Dygert s works are all modest in size, none more than 30 inches in any direction. Because of these diminutive dimensions, the paintings lack the impact of heroic abstract-expressionist works. Instead, they have a more intimate feel, in keeping with Dygert s notion of the pieces as portraits. "Overdue Epiphany" is more complex than most of the other works here. Though it has a similar strong vertical axis, the painting also has a much more subtle grid. An almost-black rectangle in the lower third of the piece is the only very dark area. The remaining colors are a medley of cool pastel hues — greens, light blues and turquoise. Dygert has also utilized a sophisticated spectrum of warm colors, from pinks to cadmium yellow medium, that doesn't overpower the blues and greens. But in addition to the careful chromatic balance, rough dark lines are dragged along the right side of the piece, and layers of texture pull details of the underpainting forward and onto the surface. "Overdue Epiphany" seems to be an aesthetic epiphany realized. Dygert is in complete command of her materials, and her works have a conceptual unity. Dygert s artworks might seem shallower in the warming days of spring or in an era of peace and prosperity, but this is late October and the days seem to be getting darker — both literally and figuratively. These beautiful, peaceful pictures are a pleasant antidote to unpleasant times. ®

A LONG, STRANGE TRIP Every era has its signature look, but none approaches the distinctively psychedelic aesthetic of the late '60s. Eye-dazzling colors and swirly, Art Nouveau-inspired typography defined rock concert posters and album covers of the time. One of the artists who invented this style is Stanley Mouse; in conjunction with collaborator Alton Kelly, he was responsible for some of the most enduring images in pop culture — including the "Zig Zag man" and the skull-and-roses logo of The Grateful Dead. This week, Mouse pays a visit to Burlington's Lineage Gallery to sign prints, posters, sketches and copies of his book, Freehand: Mouse.

The Ring *
FAMILIAR RING Berbinski's thriller is an undistinguished collection of joybuzzer jolts and genre cliches.
* ow effective is Gore Verbinski s atmospheric new thriller? It had me believing a piece of film can indeed exert a sinister power over a person who views it. After all, critics as normally perceptive as Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman and Salons Andrew O'Hehir have watched The Ring and come away hailing it as a triumph, comparing it to classics like The Exorcist, Un Chien Andalou and The Sixth Sense when, in fact, the films a mindless mess. Now that's some spooky video voodoo. Naomi Watts, as a Seattle reporter whose niece has just died mysteriously, takes a wrong turn off Mulholland Drive and winds up lost in nonsense. Her sister begs her to get to the bottom of her daughter's death and, the next thing you know, Watts has figured out the girl's unexpected demise came exactly one week after she. watched a particular tape. Faster than you can say Fear Dot Com, she's got her hands on the thing and slammed it into the nearest VCR. Of course. Having just learned that watching the tape may well result in unstoppable otherworldly death, what intelligent journalist who's a single parent with a young son wouldn't watch it as soon as possible? While you're at it, don't check to make sure Jason's really dead! I'm sure he'll still be lying there when you turn around a minute or so from now. Sure enough, Watts views the eerie recording — a short black-and-white montage of unsetding images that looks more than anything like a home movie made by David Lynch. Immediately upon its conclusion, she gets a phone call. Lifting the receiver to her ear, Watts is terrified to hear the voice of a young girl uttering the words "seven days." Knowing full well the ominous meaning of the message — she has only a week to live — the reporter does what any credible character in a critically acclaimed horror film would do: She brings the tape to her estranged husband (Martin Henderson) and stands by while he watches it,
too. Well, that ought to do wonders for their relationship. The movie is not short on spooky sounds and images. There's something almost Kubrickian and evocative of The Shining in Verbinski's direction here. No, what the movie is short on is brains. Brains and believability. Think I'm being unfair? Consider this: As soon as she dooms the father of her child, Watts races home to leave the deadly video unguarded by the entertainment center, where the tyke can pick it up and pop it in when he gets up the next morning. Why doesn't she just hold a public screening and wipe out the rest of Seattle while she's at it? Believe it or not, I haven't even gotten to the really brain-dead part. There's a murdered little girl at the heart of the story, and she's responsible for the videocassette of death. The girl was killed roughly mid-century, so it's not clear what kind of sinister stuff she did to keep busy prior to the invention of the VCR. Or whether she has plans to upgrade to DVD. All we know for sure is that the young lady possesses virtually unlimited supernatural powers but has chosen to confine the havoc she's wreaked from beyond the grave to a snail-paced campaign of murder by film short. As embodiments of pure evil go, this kid ranks as maybe the laziest in movie history. Given his resume {Mouse Hunt, The Mexican), it's not surprising that Verbinski fails to earn comparison to the cinema's immortal directors of horror. What is surprising is that he's earned kudos for a film that's an undistinguished assemblage of joybuzzer jolts and genre cliches. Watts is extra-watchable and, as I say, the filmmaker does achieve a style and tone the script never comes close to living up to. Otherwise, Verbinski's adaptation of the 1998 Japanese hit Ringu misses the mark almost completely. The scariest thing about this festival of loose ends is the thought of just how much must have been lost in the W a h s l a t i o r i , " < & > • < < < y X V V A V * % V

trange as it sounds, in my memory Lovely and Amazing will always be linked to the 2001 terrorist attacks. That's the movie I watched on the morning of September 11, while attending the Toronto International Film Festival. The screening began before the towers collapsed, which made it a little easier to surrender to fiction than would be possible once I discovered the full extent of the horror 92 minutes later. In many ways, Nicole Holofcener s bittersweet comedy — which has already been in Burlington and opens this weekend at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier — was the right experience for that awful moment. The picture is essentially about Figuring out how to love one another. Brenda Blethyn (Secrets and Lies, Saving Grace) plays Jane, the divorced single mother of three daughters: Catherine Keener {Being John Malk-ovich) appears as Michelle, confused by her unhappy marriage and obscure artistic ambitions; Emily Mortimer inhabits the role of rail-thin Elizabeth, a struggling actress with very low self-esteem; the youngest member of this neurotic family is an adopted 8-year-old, Annie (Raven Goodwin). As they fail to support each other, all four are overly concerned with their looks. Jane undergoes cosmetic surgery. Thirtysomething Michelle starts an affair with an admiring teenager (Jake Gyllenhaal) to bolster her damaged ego. When Elizabeth sleeps with a self-absorbed actor (Keener's real-life mate, Dermot Mulroney), she asks him to evaluate her naked body for flaws. Annie has the greatest challenge as a plump AfricanAmerican immersed in a white, weight-obsessed culture. Writer-director Holofcener, whose Walking and Talking was a 1996 indie favorite, has a knack for casting understated performers who can reflect the dilemmas facing ordinary people. Their angst-filled search for answers is fundamental to the human con- • dition. • Woody Allen and David Mamet are both idiosyncratic Filmmakers, but this spring the former standup comic will tread territory more familiar to the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright. Allen plans to tackle off-Broadway as a First-time stage director and he's penned two new one-acts for this purpose. Riverside Drive and New Milford— under the umbrella title of Writer's Block — are upcoming productions of the Atlantic Theater Company, cofounded by Goddard College alums Mamet and actor William H. Macy. A seasonal Vermont fixture from 1985 to 1998, the Big Applebased troupe returned this year for a brief summer residency at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts — which they hope to repeat in 2003. Neil Pepe, Atlantic's artistic director, says that the relationship with Allen has a Burlington connection of sorts: "We started developing Dangerous Corner up there in 1995 before bringing it to New York, where Woody came to see it," explains the Westminster West native. "Casting for his plays begins in two weeks and rehearsals start March 23. This should be a lot of fun." Writer's Block previews in late April and opens on May 15 at the company's West 20th Street venue. Mamet and Allen have actually rubbed shoulders in the past, when they teamed up with Elaine May as fellow wordsmiths contributing work for a mid1990s trio of short theatrical comedies collectively called Death Defying Acts. • Burlington College film instructor Josh Joy makes his featurelength directorial debut Saturday night with Immaculate Conception, about a daughter trying to reconcile with her estranged father. After a dozen years of separation, Rebecca (Tracey Girdich) returns home to see Abraham (Roger Dodge), who has terminal cancer. The dialogue in this 90-minute film, which addresses parent-child dysfunction, was improvised. It's showing at UVM. Call 864-3924 for details. • Igby Goes Down just blew into local theaters and hits the Savoy on November 8. My advice: Whether here or there, don't miss it. Kieran Culkin is riveting as a sardonic but utterly lost adolescent from an upscale New York City family. Critics have compared the title character of this movie — which also stars Susan Sarandon, Claire Danes, Jeff Goldblum, Amanda Peet, Bill Pullman and Ryan Philippe — to Catcher in the Ryes Holden Caulfield. Granted, Igby keeps dropping out of prep schools and has little patience for phonies, but his contemporary quest takes him to a much darker Lower Manhattan demimonde than J.D. Salinger ever envisioned back in the early 1950s. (Z)

GLASS EYE
When minimalist composer Philip Glass and director Godfrey Reggio's iconic classic, Koyaanisqatsi, premiered in 1983, the rat-race congestion and environmental plight i t portrayed suggested Western society couldn't get any crazier. Today the film's message of life out of balance is as relevant as ever, and its rapid-fire imagery and hypnotic score have influenced a generation of video artists and ambient-music composers. Glass and his eight-member ensemble accompany Koyaanisqatsi live in Burlington. In Hanover, they play along with an international set of new 35 mm shorts. PHILIP GLASS E N S E M B L E .

3 0 B I october 23-30, 2002 I SEVEN DAYS
BY ROB BRE7.SNY OCTOBER 23 - OCTOBER 30
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I predict that your dreams will soon have potent effects on your waking life; they'll hfelp transform conditions that had previously been resistant to change. Maybe you'll dream of being able to ripen green apples just by gazing upon them, for instance, and then find you have a comparable power to expedite evolution in the daytime. Or perhaps you'll dream of time-traveling back to ancient Rome and leading an uprising that frees thousands of slaves, and then later that morning figure out how to liberate yourself from an all-too-real oppression. And who knows what fun will ensue, Aries, after you dream of doing what you were forbidden or too inhibited to do when you were in high school?
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.
many of my neighbors place a high value on exploring and transforming their inner landscapes. If I were King of the World, every citizen would have an inalienable right not just to adequate food, housing, education and medical care, but also regular counseling with a wise advisor. Alas, our civilization is not sufficiently enlightened for that revolution. Until it is, Gemini, you should take matters into your own hands. And now, while you're at the top of your game, is a perfect astrological moment to initiate, expand or cultivate your access to such a guide.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): The cosmic powers have authorized me to grant you a double-strength, time-release dose of sweet certainty. During the coming grace period, your attraction to doubt will fade. A simple resolve will rise up in your heart every time you need one. Though at first the peace you experience may feel eerie, you could get so used to it that you'll forever abandon the chronic vacillation you've assumed was your lot in life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It'll be a zigzag, flip-flop, whichend-is-up week, Virgo. Every plot twist will quickly split into at least two further plot twists; anything that looks like a trick ending will lead to what looks like another trick ending. Your natural talents for thinking on your feet and adapting on the fly will be even better than usual, though, so you're poised to thrive in slippery conditions that may befuddle weaker minds. M^advice? Act as if there's no script for the unfolding drama; treat every situation like an improv exercise in an acting class.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The key to Libran happiness, says master astrologer Steven Forrest, is to seek serenity within. He warns (Apr. 20-May 20): that you shouldn't go overboard My daughter Zoe is modest about trying to manipulate the external her poetry. She worries she hasn't world into becoming more tranearned the states of awareness she quil. That's not possible, and writes about. "I don't know if I'm besides, it's a distraction from the really as sensitive and deep as I real work, which is best done on make myself out to be," she conyourself. Now here's the really fessed as she handed me a beautiful exciting part of Forrest's theory: poem recently. I understand Zoe's The most reliable way for you to L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Quoted concern. Am I as enlightened as I in the San Francisco Chronicle, Leo release tension is by putting yourappear to be, judging by the noble self in the presence of beauty; by actor Christian Slater bemoaned advice I dispense in these horoseeking out people and environaspects of his training. "I glommed scopes? Nope. Yet in the process of ments that elicit your deep sighs of on to the idea," he said, "that I had conjuring up inspirational messages to suffer for my art. Acting teachers esthetic enjoyment. At this particufor you, I find myself striving to lar moment in your astrological love to promote the idea that in live up to their moral power; I history, my dear, that's especially order to really get into character, become a better person. How useful advice. you've got to put yourself through about you, Taurus? Is there any gift emotional hell." Many of you Leos you can give or service you can have a similar attitude. You regard provide that will activate your doryour whole life as a work of art 21): It's your birthright to become mant potential? Is there any beauty that shines brightest when it flirts a master of desire, Scorpio. Two you can bring to life in your enviwith interesting pain. In the comrelated skills are involved. First, you ronment that will transform you ing months, though, you'll be have to regularly pare away all on the inside? called upon to make dramatic reviinessential desires and enthrone the sions in your approach to selfprecious few that are really imporexpression. I suggest you take your tant. Second, you have to steadily (May 21-June 20): I inspiration from Slaters new and shed outmoded goals to make live in Northern California, home of improved belief: "Now I'd say, room for fresh goals that will conmore psychotherapists per capita 'Don't suffer for your art.'" sistently lead you away from the than any place on earth. Though it's fun to joke about it, I'm pleased so

past and into the future. It's a tough assignment. Most people never come close to accomplishing such refined potency, and they don't have half the number of desires you do. Can you pull it off? The coming weeks will be a turning point in your quest to claim this birthright.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As you enter a more unpredictable phase, your fantasy life may become rather, uh, experimental. This'll be good — you're sure to dream up inventive solutions to problems — but you'll also have to guard against getting carried away. To curb excesses, I'm providing you with help from Sagittarian cartoon character Bart Simpson. If you start edging towards loopy intemperance in the coming weeks, repeat the following affirmations, which he has at one time or another written on his classroom's blackboard: "I will not eat things for money. I do not have diplomatic immunity. I will not teach others to fly. Organ transplants are best left to the professionals. Underwear should be worn on the inside. I will not sell miracle cures. I will not spank others. I will not do anything bad ever again."
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): There's only one miracle you could really make use of right now, Capricorn, and it would require a shift so simple and subtle you may be in danger of overlooking it. In a related development, the secret you need to know most is hidden in plain sight, not far from where you're sitting. Don't you dare make the mistake of searching for the cleansing truth in exotic places. In conclusion, the ordinary events of everyday life will be rich with revelations if you can outwit the sleepy numbness you

sometimes feel in the presence of familiar things.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Cancer cells are constantly developing in our bodies. Luckily, our immune systems routinely kill them off. Similarly, your mind always harbors pockets of crazy-making misconceptions and faulty imprints. They usually don't rise up and render you insane thanks to the psychic version of your immune system. And how can you stay strong in your ability to fight off sickness and madness? You know the drill: Eat healthy food, sleep well, get physical exercise, minimize stress, give and receive love. But here's another one that's not so widely advertised: Know what your life's purpose is and pursue it with all your heart. I encourage you to vigorously practice all these life-enhancing pleasures in the coming days, Aquarius. You're in a phase when you can add enormous strength to every function of your immune system.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Imagine you're swinging from the chandelier after midnight at the party of the year. The chandelier breaks, and you're thrown into the lap of an interesting-looking wallflower who's been sitting in the corner muttering into a cell phone all evening. The moment you land, the wallflower flatters you with outrageous praise, followed by an insightful critique of you that's both embarrassing and helpful, followed by another dollop of praise, followed by an invitation to leave for the airport together and get on a plane for Egypt. While this scenario may not literally occur, Pisces, it's a close metaphorical approximation of what your upcoming future will be like.
