CLARIFYING CHARTER SCHOOLS Peter Freyne appears to be mis informed about charter schools. On Sept. 27 [Inside Track] he wrote, “...charter schools. You know, schools set up so that my little gifts from God don’t have to rub shoulders with your mangy lit tle heathen brats.” Humor and motivational attri butions aside, the wealthy have always enjoyed school choice through private schools. Middleclass parents have enjoyed school choice through moving to “towns with good schools.” People who can afford neither of these options are the ones who currently have no meaningful school choice and would benefit most if public char ter schools were legal in Vermont like they are in 37 other states. Public charter schools are regu

lated by and accountable to the state and, like all public schools, cannot discriminate. But they also have more latitude when it comes to scheduling classes and who can teach. In a charter school the social studies teacher might be a former diplomat; the physics teacher might be a retired physicist. In reg ular public schools such individu als are discouraged from teaching by lengthy certification require ments, and those with advanced degrees are rendered unaffordable by union pay scales. Now I don’t want to offend anyone’s Marxist sensibilities, but charter schools also introduce pub lic school competition. And as our State Education Commissioner and former Rutland School Superintendent David Wolk said, while watching Rutland schools compete for students and thrive, “I

believe that competition for stu dents in the public marketplace is a positive and healthy phenome non that serves to improve the quality of our schools.” (Rutland Herald, Sept. 26, 1996) — Jeffrey Pascoe South Burlington SURVEY SHOWS LOVE ON THE RISE It’s been a little over three months since my partner and I were joined in civil union on July 1, and I have been concerned about what detrimental effects, if any, this may have had on the marriages of my fellow Vermon ters. So, at this 90-day milestone, I conducted a survey of my hetero sexual friends and neighbors to determine what degree of damage my new legal status may have caused their marriage.

O f my heterosexual neighbors surveyed, none reported a deterio ration in their marriage since the infamous July 1 date. Well...there was that one couple down the road from us who had an argument in late August, but they believe that their marital tiff was attributable more to 90-degree heat and 80 percent humidity than it was to the new civil-union law. O f my heterosexual colleagues surveyed at work, all reported that their marriages seemed to enjoy a rather healthy and restful summer. None reported increased tension, headaches or disorientation result• ing from marital strife since July 1...

O f my heterosexual married friends surveyed, all report they are as deeply in love with each other Continued on page 14a

Ruth Dw yer Plays “ U gly Am erican” There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Republican gubernatorial candidate Ruth Dwyer has a contingency plan to militarize Vermont’s bor der with the foreign power to our north — Canada. At least, not yet. What is true is that Vermont-Canada relations have taken a turn for the worse since Ruthless Ruth was involved in an ugly international incident, car ried live on the airwaves of the Canadian Broadcasting Corpor ations (CBC) English-language Montreal station. Oh, Canada! You see, our local TV affiliates are on the box in Montreal. Can adians are watching Mrs. Dwyers Alice in Wonderland TV com mercials, too. So it’s no surprise that some Canadians don’t fancy the way Dwyer portrays Canada’s heath-care system as dreadful and then uses it to smear Gov. Howard Dean. In her kinder-and-gentler 60second spot, Dwyer raises the alarm that under Gov. Howard Dean, we’ll end up like Canada “where they have to wait too long for procedures they need or may not be able to get them.” One recent morning, Ruth Dwyer — the real Ruth Dwyer, not to be confused with the Fairy c y ppT p Godmother in her TV ad — got into an ugly row with Dave Bronstetter, host of “Daybreak” on CBC Radio One. Bronstetter told Seven Days he took issue with Mrs. Dwyer’s contention in her slick TV commer cial that the U.S. system could become like Canada’s. “Canada has it’s own problems,” said Bronstetter, “but the U.S. system is not exactly an example worth following.” According to both Bronstetter and Dwyer, the interview turned into an argument. The gloves, as they say, came off. Ruthless defended the virtues of free enterprise and letting the insurance companies run things their way. Bronstetter defended his country and its health-care system. Dwyer, said Bronstetter, played the role of the “ugly American” to a tee. Her attitude, he told us, was that “we’re just some backwater that depends on America for our milk.” As things heated up, he said, Mrs. Dwyer simply hung up on him. “Is this any way for a neighbor to act?” asked Bronstetter. “First she insults our health-care sys tem. Then she said I was rude and hung up.” Dwyer confirmed she had appeared on the Canadian program and things had gotten a little testy. But she denied she hung up or was rude. She said she merely suggested that “they both had better things to do,” and signed off. “I did not slam down the phone,” Dwyer insist ed. “I was polite about it.” Bronstetter’s no slouch. He’s been a CBC Montreal mainstay for over 20 years, “Some of my closest friends are Vermonters,” he told Seven Days Tuesday. “What she didn’t understand was, those are the kind of comments that bring out the worst of anti-American Canadian bigotry.” Great. Now Ruthless is an international star, too. A true ambassador for Vermont!

plain white coffee cups. A miracle? Nope. “One of our younger artists took out the WCAX logo,” confessed Hirten. “It shouldn’t hap pen,” he said. “It’s a news photo. News is news.” Ch. 5’s Vermont bureau chief, Stewart Ledbetter, chuckled when we alerted him to the electronic air-brushing of his competitor’s logo. “I would have found another picture to use,” he said. Media Notes — Congratulations to Ch. 22 reporter and the winner of the recent local “Survivor” contest, Jodi Goldman. She’s a survivor! Ms. Goldman got engaged Friday night to WBVT-TV sales manager Scott PaSCUCCi. No date set as yet. And Hewlitt, New York, native Gus Rosendale is the new blonde at Ch. 5’s suddenly all-male Vermont bureau. Four guys. No gals. Gus just graduat ed from American University in Washington, D.C., but he’s no rookie. He worked as a field producer for the Fox. station in D.C. while getting his degree. Mr. Rosendale looks to have a future in TV. Gus replaces Carolyn Roy, who’s packing up this week for the big move to KSLA-TV in Shreveport, Louisiana. Carolyn deserves a listing in the Guinness Book o f World Records for being the only reporter for all three of our local TV sta p FRFYM F tions. Ms. Roy’s a very talented hometown girl, a genuine class act, and a whole lot of folks will miss her.

Cheap Trick Award — Talk about quality journal ism, eh? The executive editor of The Burlington Free Press ’fessed up Tuesday. Vermont’s largest daily, said Mickey Hirten, had doctored the front-page news photo in the morning paper. The color photo, an Associated Press photo by Craig Line, showed Howard Dean, Ruth Dwyer and Anthony Pollina during their debate last month at the Paramount Theater in Rutland. The debate was sponsored by the Rutland Herald and WCAX-TV. The coffee cups on the table in front of the candidates were WCAX-TV NEWS coffee cups. But in Tuesday’s Free Press photo adorning the story on the Freeps/WPTZ-TV poll, they were

“Love the Bigot — Hate the Bigotry” — That’s the slogan on one of our favorite bumper stickers this election season. Yours truly thinks of it every time a Take Back Vermont backlasher swears with a straight face and a hand on the Bible that civil unions and equal rights for homosexual citizens have nothing to do with their holy crusade to put Ruthless Ruth Dwyer in charge of Vermont. The nastiness, bigotry, blasphemy and bullying of the backlashers have clogged the letters sections of our daily papers for months. Pretty ugly stuff. It sounds as if they worship some sort of Groin God as they flaunt their obsession with that particular part of human anatomy. Then there’s the vile hate mail put out by rightwing, fast-buck religious extremists like Rev. David Sleazebag, er, Stertzbach, pastor of Williston’s Trinity Baptist Church. This North Carolina trans plant labels the best among us — Democrat Howard Dean and Republican state senate candi date Barbara Snelling — as “anti-family.” Outrageous! Unfortunately, there are no stan dards of decency applied to the despicable crap they dish out in the name of Jesus. Sorry, Jesus. Their expressions of bigotry have produced a genuine sense of fear. Those who bravely supported civil unions and the legalization of love for all Vermont couples fear for the state’s future. The other night at a Democrat candidate forum in Shelburne, the first five candidates for state senate all managed to highlight other issues, like education and health care, in their speeches, not mentioning the backlashers once. But the sixth and final speaker, State Sen. Jim Leddy, took it head-on. He quoted the part of Rev. Sleazebag’s mailing, where the preacher gloats over the defeat of Sen. Peter Brownell in the GOP pri mary and promises to “get Dean and Snelling” in November. Sen. Leddy is a hometown boy who’s devoted his life to helping the hopeless and the helpless. Husband, father, he’s a deeply religious man, too. Leddy’s family values are strong as oak. “Those who have bully pulpits send hate mail in the name of a God I do not know. It’s not that we need fewer pulpits,” he said to the hushed gath ering, “It’s that we need fewer bullies in them.” Amen. Hallelujah!

Curses, Foiled Again A woman robbed a New York City bank, making off with $8300 in cash, but police arrested suspect Valerie Coletti, 41, a block from the bank after a bank employee told them she was trying to make her getaway on a city bus. Police said Coletti told them she took the slowmoving bus because she didn’t have money for a cab. • Police in Birmingham, England, charged Matthew Hutchins, 26, with breaking into dozens of cars parked in municipal garages after identify ing him from surveillance tapes. Hutchins managed to turn his face from security cameras, but his large, protruding ears were always recognizable, even when he tried to disguise them by turning up his coat collar or using a mobile telephone tQ cover them. “There was no mis taking him ,” Sgt. Steve Poppitt said, “even from the back.” Politics As Usual Even though U.S. Rep. Bud Shuster, R-Pennsylvania, is run ning unopposed in Novembers election, he has spent well over $1 million on his reelection campaign. • Voting to change Kentucky’s legal limit for drunk driving from 0.08 to 0.1 still didn’t help state Rep. Marvin Lee “Pete” Worthington, 59. His Dodge

pickup crossed the center line of a two-lane highway and rarnmed a car, killing the other driver and himself. Preliminary lab tests showed that Worthing ton, who was unopposed for a twelfth term this November, had a blood-alcohol content of 0.11. • After failing several times to get elected as Thomas Weston, now the Republican candidate for Precinct 6 constable in Dallas County, Texas, is cam paigning in the largely Hispanic district as Tomas Eduardo Wesson. Wesson, 42, admitted that he is not of Hispanic her itage but insisted, “That is my name. T hat’s how I spell Thomas.” Ballots for the Nov. 7 election have already been printed and cannot be changed without a court challenge. Otherwise, David Watts, execu tive director of the Dallas County Republican Party, noted, “If you pay your filing fee, you can file as Abraham Lincoln, and I can’t stop it.” Quick Fix Instead of changing the makeup of its student body to present an image of diversity, the University of Wisconsin at Madison simply retouched a photo used on the cover of an admissions brochure to include an African-American student. According to undergraduate

admissions director Rob Seltzer, his office spent all last summer looking for a picture that showed the university had a diverse enrollment but could find none. Finally, the staff used a 1993 photo of white students at a football game and added an image taken in 1994 of senior Diallo Shabazz. Wonderful Web Jessica and Travis Thornhill won $5000 for naming their baby, born in Hutchinson, Kansas, after a Web site called the Internet Underground Music Archive, or at least an acronym of the site: luma Dylan-Lucas. • Irene Pepperberg, a visiting professor of animal behavior at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is teaching a parrot how to surf the Internet. “Parrots are very social crea tures,” she said, explaining that owners who leave them alone all day cause boredom and stress that leads to behavioral prob lems. As a result, the birdenabled software she is develops ing, “InterPet Explorer,” will make it easier for parrots and eventually other animals to find sites of interest, such as those showing wildlife and music, or perhaps even chat rooms just for animals. • Mahloan Smith and Chad Sobotka of Medford, Oregon,

Why They Call It Dope W hen Robert Poshusta, 28, received a phone call from someone claiming to be with the Hamilton County, Indiana, Sheriff’s Department, the caller informed Poshusta that if he cut down the 8-foot-tall marijuana plant growing in his home and turned it in, he wouldn’t be

license to allow blind patrons to touch performers. Kenneth McGrath, director of the club, told the Daily Telegraph he made the application after two blind men visited Pussycats as part of a stag party and said they wanted to touch the strip pers to get a better idea what they looked like. Noting that 11 of the 15 dancers told him they would not object to being touched, McGrath said the touching would be “restricted to the breasts and only when the dancer is wearing a bra and not topless. The dancer would retain full control, taking one hand of the blind customer and

charged. Poshusta complied, packed the plant in a garbage bag and took it to the sheriff’s department, where he was promptly arrested and charged with cultivating marijuana. Sheriff’s Sgt. Eddie Moore insisted no one at the depart ment had called Poshusta. Touchy-Feely The Pussycats strip club in Hove, England, applied to the local council for a variance in its

After a city ordinance forced the band Def Leppard to play at a low volume during a concert at the Oregon State Fair in Salem, band members an nounced that anyone who thought the concert was too quiet could get a refund. Some 700 fans took them up on the offer. ®

By Jernigan P ontiac hese early October weeks are among the busiest of the entire year. Between foliage tourists, student revelers, business conference types and parents of college kids, we cab bies are running on fumes. There’s money on the streets, but its hard-earned. On a recent Saturday night, amidst the autumn hubbub, I was hailed by a tall blonde man. In a town with its share of color ful characters, this guy was mak ing his own striking statement. Like a hip-hop producer who borrows styles and snippets from older songs to create something new, this man appeared to have sampled fash ion themes from years gone by. But rather than coming off as old-fashioned or retro, he looked entirely original — fresh and unpretentious. The two parts of his ensemble that immediately drew my gaze were the plaid pants and the Russian fur hat. The hat recalled the headdress of Graham Nash in the early days of his association with Crosby and Stills. I pulled the cab to a stop; he approached my window. “I need to pick up my friend at Nectars,” he said. “Will that be all right?” He got in the back, and we turned into a spot in front of the nightclub. A woman in a blue woolen cap was waiting there, dark black hair spilling down the sides of her face in comely, tight ringlets. Like the man in my cab, her attire was splendid and unusual. Next to her, tucked back against the building wall, was a violin case, a small amp and some other electronic-looking gear. “Angela,” the man called out from his cracked window, “get in the taxi. I’ll get the equip ment.” Angela climbed into the front seat as the man was get ting out. I popped the trunk. “D ’ya want some help now, Paul?” Angela asked. Her Scottish brogue was musical and lilting, like an old folk song. “No, my dear, it’s not much,” Paul replied. “I can handle it.” Angela then turned to me with a bright, friendly smile. O f course, it hit me: These people were performers. No, this was not more of that “psy chic cabbie” business, just sim ple deduction from the obvious evidence. “Did you guys play here

tonight?” I asked. “Yes, we sure did,” Angela replied. “What name do you perform under? I mean, are you a band?” Paul was just getting into the rear seat, and heard the question. “We’re the Wild Colonials,” he said. “Yowzah!” I said. “I’ve heard of you guys. They’ve been play ing your music a lot on the radio up here. Where can I take you? Where are you staying?”

“You got a working tape player there, man?” she asked. “Play this tape. It’s a song Cyndi and I wrote together. This is the demo we recorded a few nights ago. You’re going to be the first person to hear it.” I took the tape from her hand and slid it into the deck. Just then we came to the Colonial Motor Inn, and I took the left into the parking lot. “D ’ya have time to just stop and listen?” I asked.

Actually, I’ve been working overtime to rein it in, but this time I gave myself a pass. I love bands and musi cians. Paul said, “You bet we have,” and proceeded, with Angela’s help, to rattle off a half-dozen of the biggest groups of the moment. Angela then added, “And we’ve been record ing with Cyndi Lauper.” “All right!” I said, surrender ing the last shred of pretense of being cool and unimpressed. “I love Cyndi’s music. Those tunes from the ’80s — I mean, ‘Time After Time.’ I still tear up when^ I hear that.” Angela smiled warmly, nod ding her head in agreement. “You know,” I continued, “Cyndi attended college here in Vermont, at Johnson State, if I got it straight.” “No kidding,” Angela said. “She never told me that one.” She paused for a moment, and then appeared to make up her mind about something. She pivoted in her seat to face her band mate. “Paul, give me the tape,” she said. Paul said, “Are you sure, Angela?” “You bet; it feels right,” she said, and then turned to me.

“Sure, man,” Angela replied. “If you do, we do. Let’s listen.” The ringing strum of a 12string guitar began the song. It was a slow, folky ballad. Cyndi Lauper came in on the first verse. Her tremulous, heartachy voice is like no other, and she sounded beautiful and true. On the chorus, Angela joined in, and it was startling. She could have been Cyndi’s twin sister, the two voices were that harmonious and identical in tone. The song went on, telling a story of longing and loss. The two women traded verses and harmonies. It was a gorgeous tune, and I was literal- I ly shivering at my fortune in getting to hear it. When the final echo of the lone guitar receded, I popped out the tape and handed it back to Angela. “That was really, really beau tiful,” I said. As usual, any dose of eloquence had deserted me when I truly needed it. “Thank you so much for playing it for me. Angela’s Scottish eyes were sparkling. “The tune is called ‘Behind the Sun,”’ she said, “and it’s going to be the title track of a movie by the same name. Don’t be askin’ me when it’s being released, but glory be, we got the title song!” This is why I stick to hack ing; every fare is an adventure. In the greater scheme of things, I suppose the Queen City is a cultural backwater, but it attracts some cool and remark able people. And when Pm lucky, they need a cab. ® m

SNOHIIW laywright Dana Yeaton was in the right place at the right time, even if his main character wasn’t. Thanks to a simple twist of fate, their stories converge this week in the world premiere of Midwives at the new 150seat FlynnSpace. Readers of the best-selling novel of the same name, by Vermont author Chris Bohjalian, know Sybil Danforth as a “baby catcher,” who lost a laboring mother named Charlotte Bedford after a collision course with Mother Nature. Yeaton is the executive director of Vermont Stage Company and the states unofficial play wright laureate — he gave us M ad River Rising, about a Green Mountain farmer who hides in his barn after escaping from a nursing home. Yeaton just happened to stop by Bohjalian’s house in Lincoln last fall as the best-seller — thanks to the impri matur by Oprah’s Book Club — was sorting through . requests to adapt Midwives for the stage. While the decade-long friends shot hoops in the driveway, destiny came into play. “It suddenly dawned on me that this was my immense ly gifted friend, and if anyone should adapt Midwives it should be Dana,” Bohjalian recalls, noting that he didn’t want to put his pal in an awkward position or make him feel obligated. “I’m so stupid I had to think about it,” Yeaton jokes, but the Middlebury resident called back the very next day to accept the task, realizing he’d be crazy not to take on

Bohjalian’s baby. A year later, Yeaton’s labor of love about Danforth’s labor lost is making its much-anticipated debut. A nine-member cast, comprising equity professionals from New York and Seattle as well as homegrown favorites, did readings around the state before taking the stage to begin rehearsal a few weeks ago. During the staged readings in Castleton, South Hero and Rochester — opportunities for the actors to get into character as well as for the playwright to obtain some audience feed back — they were able to work out a few kinks in Yeaton’s script. “Overnight, between readings, we spent an hour with the cast discussing and changing the lines at the end of the play,” he says. “I thought back then that script doc tors’ could help, but nobody could have done for me what these actors did.” Yeaton paid close attention to the audience, too — their gasps helped him judge where the play was, or was not, working. Well before that point, however, Yeaton had immersed himself in the book, listening to it on tape over and over again. With 30 hours of material to condense into two hours of drama, he heeded the words of playwright Nagle Jackson, who said that “much of what we love when we read a novel does not move the action, and you have to be ruthless about that” in adaptations.

“It suddenly dawned on me that this was my immensely gifted friend, and if anyone should adapt Midwives it should be Dana.” — novelist Chris Bohjalian “I started looking for what resonated for me, heart and soul — not just transcribing a book,” Yeaton says, explaining his struggle with artistic license. “W hat am I going to focus on? W hat do I keep? W hat do I expand on?” Normally everything shifts in the adaptation process, he explains, but Yeaton felt it “would have been stupid to Continued on page 10a

ou could never accuse Steve Goldberg of writing plays on Prozac. In fact, his notoriously depressive dramas may be a little too true-to-life for some. A few years back at the Fletcher Free Library, he was rehearsing a rape scene from The Truth Has No Heart. Tracey Girdich’s performance was so convincing that a concerned library patron called the cops. “I told Tracey she was doing great;” Goldberg says with a New York accent and an easy laugh roughened by frequent filter-free cigarettes. “I mean, the cops came.” The authorities will likely be in the audience for another Goldberg project: his first G-rated play for high schoolers. The Burlington playwright and jazz trumpeter

R o u tly

wrote the play as punishment for a drunk-driving convic tion he picked up last June — an example of creative restitution from the Community Justice Center. Entitled One Mistake, the play will be presented in a number of high schools this winter, with sponsorship from a group that would otherwise steer clear of Vermont’s most bohemian bard: Mothers Against Drunken Drivers of Vermont. The morality play may be a dramatic departure for Goldberg who, with disheveled gray locks and slightly slurred speech, looks perpetually hung over. But the sub ject matter is not new. The 61-year-old has been writing about drunks — and whores, drug addicts, pimps and

other low-lifes — since he put pen to paper more than a decade ago. To those who would like to see him adopt a cheerier approach, including his folksinger wife Rachel Bissex, Goldberg reasons, “Its not that interesting seeing a lot of nice people getting along on stage.” Playing jazz for 25 years in New York, Goldberg saw things — violence, overdoses — that he swears would have killed him if he hadn’t escaped to Vermont. But his view, and downed-out determination, is still decidedly urban. “He’s got stuff to put out, and he does it,” says Burlington actor Paul Schnabel, who has worked on numerous plays with Goldberg, including Curb Divers o f Redemption, Ballroom o f Forgiveness and Screwed. “It’s almost twice a year he writes and produces his own shows, and consistently. He’s just on fire.” The lost license certainly hasn’t slowed Goldberg’s artistic output. W ith only a bicycle for transport, the founder of the Sneakers Jazz Band is currently practicing for upcoming music gigs with his wife, shepherding through a soon-to-be-self-published novel, putting the finishing touches on One Mistake and rehearsing a new play, Arnie Gets it Good, which opens next Wednesday at Club Metronome. While Vermont Stage is birthing Midwives in the new FlynnSpace, Goldberg will be offer ing an autopsy of the human condition on the seedier side of the street. F-words abound in the Goldberg oeuvre. You can fol low the sound of profanities to rehearsal on the second floor of the library. When a woman sticks her head in the Fletcher Room to inquire if this is the “rug-hooking group,” the actors hold their guffaws, and hooker jokes, until she is out of earshot. Then Schnabel and Sue Ball set out to animate the main characters. Arnie is a mad ex professor on a self-destructive search for meaning. Gina is a brilliant young medical student obsessed with death and disease. They get along, sort of, exchanging dialogue that would make even David Mamet squirm. He: So you like older men. She: I don’t like anything. You probably couldn’t fuck i f you tried. Do you still have a prostatei ... The gland gets bad as you age. Cut it out so you can live and wear diapers, piss ing in your pants. No hard-on, nothing. That’s some sad shit. So you want to walk me homel He: Yeah, I do. She: Can you fuck? He: I ’m not sure. Hardly your typical pick-up scene, but it’s classic Goldberg: raw, graphic, out there. The unkempt creator watches intently — alternating among four pairs of glass es — as the actors work on timing, and memorizing, their lines. Goldberg says the greatest compliment he ever got was from a fan who thought his word work was impro vised. It definitely feels spontaneous when Barbara Shatara shows up to read the part of Lori, a straight-laced job counselor charged with getting Arnie employed. Especially when it turns out she’s in-house talent — Goldberg recruited her from the reference desk earlier that day. After she reads the part, he asks if she would be willing to give up three weekends in November — for no pay — to be stalked on stage. She thinks for a second, and agrees, less than two weeks before curtain.

inding the right groove between in and out of control has been something o f a theme for Goldberg, who grew up in an upper middle-class neighborhood in Forest Hills, Queens. His older brother, a sax player, turned him on to jazz. Every Friday night, when his par ents went out, “all these cool people would come over and we’d have all these jam sessions,” he recalls. At the age of 8 or 9, “I’d just sort of hang out at the top of the living room stairs and take in the whole thing.” When his brother went off to the Korean War,

story without that scene, but we don’t necessarily want to see it,” he says of the task to make Midwives more stage-friendly. In the end, less than half the play is lifted directly, in terms of dialogue, Yeaton notes. “The guts share the same story, study the same phenomenon, but I expanded the relationship between mother and daughter.” Yeaton ultimately created a new character in the present, and put new words in her mouth.

In the novel the framing device was Connie looking back, but Yeaton says he needed some thing more dramatic: conflict with another character — in this case, her mother. But there was a gory Caesarean birth and death to grapple with as well. “There’s no

She endures her moth

Both mother and daughter struggle with what might or might not have happened on the night in question: Did Sibyl take desperate measures to save a baby’s life? Is she guilty of mur dering a woman?

NATAL CHARTING A scene from

W ithout knowing what the pas sages reveal, Connie rips out the one pertaining to Charlotte’s death. Yeaton’s first draft of Midwives had Connie telling the story, too, and when he passed it to Bohjalian for review, “He basi cally said, ‘I love it, you’re great,”’ the playwright recalls. But one of the novelist’s own midwifery con sultants, Carol Gibson Warnock, was less than enthusiastic. “She hated it,” Yeaton admits. “She did not find Sybil sympathetic. She thought she was sarcastic and uncaring towards her daughter. And she even had technical prob lems with Sibyl’s midwifery that we worked through. But her comments were about the whole piece, dramaturgical as well as technical.” Warnock’s questions helped Yeaton fine-tune his focus, and the second version made Sybil Danforth the star of her own story. He calls the discovery his major victory. “The conceit is that the mother is birthing a bur den,” he explains. Thereby, Connie becomes something of a symbolic midwife by helping her mother bear the burden of truth, which surprises them both. “The novel is so popular because it is a mother-daughter love story and a coming-of-age story,” notes Yeaton, but in a twohour play, “I didn’t have time for a coming-of-age story as well.” Yeaton’s new focus also pro vided him with “connecting tis-

sue” between the gut-wrenching delivery and the heart-wrenching courtroom scenes. “I decided to juxtapose the trial with the birth. Its a combination of someone who is inadvertently committing a crime and being tried for it simultaneously,” he reports. “It doesn’t come down to stage craft, but rather a dramatic device. Instead of a knife, the trial bisects the scene.” Bohjalian, who was very hands-off about the project, applauded the concept — as did Warnock. “The most wonderful thing is the way he took one sen tence on page 367 and used it as the fulcrum,” he declares. He also points out that there are only glimpses of Sibyl’s sense of humor in the novel, but Yeaton capitalizes on it without compro mising the seriousness of the plot. The pivotal book passage on page 367, in Connie’s adult voice, comes during her mother’s own medical crisis — lung can cer — long after the trial is over: It wasn’t until her third after noon o f chemotherapy — one o f the days that I drove her to the oncologist in Hanover, New Hampshire, and kept her company while the poisons were dripped intravenously into her arm — that she brought up the name o f Charlotte Bedford. “Is she'why you’re becoming a doctor?” my

mother asked. “Or am I?” There, Yeaton found the heart and soul of his play, and placed Sybil Danforth in Connie’s hands to help her face her past, her mis takes and her illness. Together, they relive Charlotte’s death.

ith the play right at last, Yeaton began central cast ing with Mark Nash, artistic director of the VSC, in June. “We almost always do cast ing in New York City and Vermont, but we expanded it this time and went through a casting director to find Carolyn Swift for Sibyl,” Yeaton explains. The effervescent 45-year-old New Yorker was perfect for the role; also a hands-on healer, Swift played the Angel in the first Angels in America touring compa ny. And she was game for months of rehearsing in rural Vermont at non-equity wages. Swift says Midwives intrigued her because there are very few lead roles for women these days that aren’t centered on romantic issues. “But this is a love story between a mother and a daugh ter, and a deeper story about what an evolved soul does in a moment of crisis,” she explains. “It’s an Oedipal story [in] that, in spite of the best intentions, bad things do happen.” Nash and Yeaton found their

Connie in the virtuous face of fellow New Yorker Keely Madden, whose transcontinental credits include the role of Elizabeth in Six Degrees o f Separation for the Seattle Repertory Theatre. “You look for chemistry between leads, then cross your fingers and hope. Our Connie and our Sibyl started doing amazing work on the first day,” Yeaton says. Madden, too, feels “a deep connection” with her on-stage mother, she reports. The rest of the cast — many with more than one role — includes some well-known local names with big-city experience: Kathryn Blume, Ethan Bowen, Jenny Langsam, John Alexander, Stephen O ’Dwyer, Jock MacDonald and newcomer Tawnya Fogg. Oddly, the most essential role was the last to be cast. When Yeaton’s initial choice for director wasn’t available, Nash’s top pick came through. Now, neither can imagine the play without New Yorker Jim Gaylord at the helm. And he was pleased at the prospect of directing Midwives after reading the script and meet ing the company. “Dana has taken the right kind of liberties... he [has] expanded to find part of the book that wasn’t written,” Gaylord remarks. “I’m very, very fortunate in that this has been a

“I started looking for what resonated for me, heart and soul — not just transcribing a book. What am I going to focus on? What do I keep? What do I expand on?” — playwright Dana Yeaton describes. “The audience will feel like it’s circling the stage. Instead of a full-frontal, where the actors play out to you, the events keep shifting.” The only question now is whether audiences are ready to see their beloved book outside of their imaginations. But worriers need only take a few cues from the novel’s author, who trusts his instincts as well as fate. “I have complete faith that Dana has done the story justice,” an nounces Bohjalian, who will be in the audience with Yeaton, along with their wives and chil dren, on the night of Midwives’ rebirth. “But if I hadn’t stopped by Chris’ house that day,” marvels the dramatist, “we’d be seeing another play.” ®

good match from the first moment of collaboration. We’ve had challenges, but not obstruc tions.” His major challenge came with the FlynnSpace itself. Gaylord and designer David Fortuna had envisioned a threequarter thrust for the stage, but realized such a set-up would reduce seating capacity. Instead, with four days before the start of in-house rehearsals, they thwart ed a midwife crisis by staging it in the round. As it turned out, the simple design better serves the time-travel nature of the script. With just a hospital bed and a few chairs to guide them, the characters move back and forth between the courtroom, Sibyl’s hospital bed and the scene of the alleged crime. . “It’s bare bones,” Yeaton

Goldberg took up the trumpet. “I just loved the way Chet Baker sounded — so fresh and clear and beautiful,” he recalls. Describing himself as “intrinsi cally lazy,” and “a pretty shitty student,” Goldberg lists the instrument’s more practical attributes: It was small, easy to carry, loud and had only three buttons, as opposed to the sax, which “had all that shit on it.” He adds, “It also looked kind of sexy and cool.” His parents were not con vinced. His father in particular was hoping his son would have “something to fall back on” after suffering the indignity of losing his own furrier business, and the family home, when Goldberg was entering high school. Instead, it got the young trum peter thinking that poverty might be a preferable path. “I saw what money, or the lack of it, could do to somebody, and chose not to make it so impor tant,” Goldberg says. He ended up taking courses at the Manhattan School of Music, which hooked him up with some great players, including percus sionist and avant-garde composer Max Newhouse. But “in those days,” Goldberg says, “you could just... play with people. You know, if it was a slow night, I could, like, sit in with Art Blakey or some really heavy-duty people. Archie Shepp used to come over and play with us. All these peo ple in the Village were around” — including the Beats. Goldberg easily adapted to a bohemian lifestyle. He says he was a “typical beatnik, cruddylooking,” when he scored a job with an r&b group called Band of Gold. He sat in with them and was offered a job on the spot. “The next day I was, you know, getting fitted for a purple sharkskin suit and a highboy col lar,” he recalls with a chuckle. Charlie Neville was in that band,

and the leader ended up in jail , + for life. “He used to come down and open his attache case, and there were, like, guns and cocaine — oh, my God,” he recalls. “There was a lot of work for horn players when all the James Brown stuff was happening,” Goldberg recalls. But jazz gigs were harder to find, and some hard-core cats, like Cecil Taylor, would just as soon wash dishes as sell out playing rock ’n’ roll. Although he definitely spent nights on the street, Goldberg wasn’t as picky as he was “self-. defeating,” as he puts it. The biggest opportunity he blew was a chance to play with Charles Mingus, who heard Goldberg at a club in the Village. “He said, ‘You sound good, man. I like the way you play,”’ Goldberg recalls the conversation with Mingus. “I had the balls to say, ‘Well, why don’t you hire me to play in the band?’ He said, ‘Okay, man, you be at the Filmore East on such and such Friday night. It’s Charlie Mingus and Friends, and you be there.” Amazingly, Goldberg practiced all week — only to show up on the wrong day, horn in hand. He couldn’t face Mingus again. “I think it was just easier to fail,” Goldberg says, demonstrat ing the same unflinching honesty as he gives his characters, many of whom share the same propen sity for “subconsciously fucking up. I’d go sit in with someone really great and get a little too drunk to really play. I mean, I’d feel really comfortable, but I couldn’t fucking play, so what good was it?” He answers the question with a laugh and lights another cigarette. Sex, drugs and, well, jazz kept Goldberg busy for a couple of decades, including a memo rable year working the Flambeau Lounge at the Barbados Hilton. A photograph from the time — of a Speedo-clad, Afro-sporting Goldberg on the beach, flanked by two women — suggests he

Goldberg’s life is full of such incongruities. He’s lazy and prolific. Slimy and sweet. Sophomoric and insightful. Sexy and losing teeth. might have had a little too much fun in the sun. Goldberg con firms, “the rum was cheaper than Coca-Cola, and you could buy anything in the drugstores. Anything.” He would have stayed on there if the country had renewed his work permit. Back in New York, he got by on “my lip and my charm,” he says, marveling in Kerouac fash ion, “I don’t know how I always managed to find girlfriends with money and nice apartments.” Lady Luck hooked him up with a textile designer, and after the two were married, her career took off. “She was making mil lions,” he says, and before long, he found himself living in a beautiful Bauhaus home in Westchester County. But the fancy digs, and Porsche convertible, didn’t alter Goldberg’s ego — or his bad behavior. “People would come up to deliver something and say, ‘Who are you?’ You know, they thought I was famous... But it really didn’t change anything. I drank better liquor. My friends said, ‘What are you doing up there?’ I said, ‘I’m trying to keep up with the ice machine.’” One summer, Goldberg fol lowed his martini muse to Vermont. At the time, he was music director of a dance theater company in residence at Johnson State. He returned three consec utive summers to the Green Mountains, where he got inter ested in playwriting through a course taught by John Ford Noonan. He also met Bissex, then a student, and the two fell in love. Goldberg credits Bissex for the 75 songs he wrote one win ter in Westchester — Leonard Cohen-like tunes he later taped. “I even went to his producer,” Goldberg says of this blue peri od, “and he said, ‘They’re cool, man, but I can only deal with one Leonard Cohen.’” Bissex signed on with Goldberg instead; after divorcing their respective spouses, they married.

Weekly Mail Continued from page 4a today as they were last June 30. Several did report a physical reac tion to actually witnessing a civilunion ceremony (mine), and described that reaction as some thing along the lines of “spine-tin gling” with “heart palpitations”... Also, as a Justice of the Peace and officiant at over 20 civil unions since July 1, I have had the opportunity to broaden this study... Specifically, this involved studying the affectional behavior of heterosexual couples immediately following their attendance at a civil union ceremony. The results here are consistent: In 100 percent of the cases, the subjects (heterosexual married couples) exhibited a marked increase in outward physi cal signs of affection toward their partner. That is, more couples were observed in hand-holding activity upon leaving a civil-union ceremo ny than before the ceremony. ...The evidence to date does seem to bear out what we have thought all along — that the legal recognition of loving and commit ted relationships between women or between men most certainly does not threaten heterosexual marriage. Quite the contrary, it would seem to enlarge society’s capacity for love and respect... and enrich us all. — Mary M. Hurlie Hinesburg UNIFY TO STOP DWYER Sandy Baird is right on the money in her Sept. 20 letter. A woman’s right to choose is in jeop ardy because of the third candidate in the race for governor this year. So, too, are the rights of gay and lesbian Vermonters. Naomi Almelah’s letter of Oct. 11 was wrong; she may be new to the fight for abortion rights in Vermont, but Sandy Baird is not. Sandy has been there even before

Beecham vs. Leahy and is still defending women’s rights, not to mention her decades of pro bono legal work for victims of domestic violence or her leadership with the Caroline Fund, named in memory of her daughter... Anthony Pollina may be for all good things, but it doesn’t matter, since the only effect he can have on those issues is to elect Mrs. Dwyer. A split in the moderate-toleft vote only makes the election of dangerous extremists like Ruth Dwyer more likely. Unify and sup port Governor Dean, if only to stop Ruth Dwyer. Before it is too late. By the way, the tri-partisan Pro-Choice Vermont Political Action Committee of Vermont NARAL endorses Gov. Dean for reelection. — Steve Howard Rutland The writer is a former chairperson o f the Vermont Democratic Party. PARANOIA, RAGE AND PROHIBITION Many people in the area seem shocked that Vermont has a nar cotics epidemic. I became interest ed in the cause and effect of the socalled “controlled” substances black market during the fall of 1967. What shocks me is the reluctance in political thought to accept the input from the scientific communi ties that many of our tax dollars go into for social problems remedies. Perhaps the best way to under stand how black markets flourish is to review American history. Two key trends are: (1) the manner in which U.S. policies have treated peoples of other nations; and (2) the era during which alcohol was prohibited. We must come to terms with our history that reeks of abuses against non-white Anglo Saxons, not only on U.S. soil, but through our devaluing of Latin Americans, Asians and so on, in their own countries for American business

interests. Ending our attitudes that their cultures are inferior would be a first step toward comprehending our role in their disregard of our struggles. Our drug problems pale in comparison to the problems with which they struggle. Thus, why should we be surprised that they provide rich America the “goods” of prohibition? However, we cannot right our wrongs overnight any more than we can envision drug regulation (control) as an alternative to both prohibi tion and legalization policies. Too many American politicians are still chained to a black-or-white world view, and many Americans are still lashing out against other people in the aftermath of child hoods that left the stains of “only right or wrong, only all good or all bad” notions. This deeply en grained paranoia and rage is seen in the old religion of the same vein that accorded the apocalyptic fan tasies of being swept into heaven from where the adherents could look down at their former per ceived torturers transplanted into a hellish world. Today “secular humanism” provides a perceived enemy in which feminists, homo sexuals, liberals and anti-prohibi tionists will destroy America. My question: When will paranoia, rage and prohibition result in a higher quality of life? What about drugrelated crimes? The ill? The hun gry? The homeless? — Rev. Robert M. New United Social Justice Project Rutland MORE MONEY FOR CHILD CARE Did you know that every high school dropout costs the state $360,000? This is money spent to care for unwanted pregnancies, support substance abuse programs, process court cases and, unfortu nately, to provide incarceration. One out of every six males between the ages of 18 and 24 is now in prison in Vermont. And according

to Corrections Commissioner John Gorscyk, we will need to build two or three new prisons between now and the year 2005. What a waste ful way to spend money. Much of this can be prevented if we invest in good early childcare and education. Significant studies show that if children are well nur tured, and have an opportunity to socialize with their peers, they come to school ready to learn. And, during these early years tod dlers learn at a rapid rate. Difficulties in vision, speech, artic ulation and learning can be cor rected more easily and with less expense when they are young... Currently more than 5000 caregivers are employed in licensed early childcare. But they are able to serve only 44 percent of the popu lation in need. Parents face long waiting lists, especially for the reg istered and licensed centers. Currently, many centers are being forced to close because they cannot pay their staffs adequately. Young men and women who are interest ed in entering this field have col lege debts which they cannot pay back on the salaries offered. And those without debt cannot live on the low salaries. Although the state has invested in early childcare and education, we have been unable to invest the dollars needed. Many legislators, teachers, par ents and other citizens are now rec ommending that we find a place in the budget for this important pro gram. Instead of the proposed tax cut which will save the average tax payer less than $50, we propose the investment in early childcare and education. — Sen. Jean Ankeney Williston THIS DUBIE BROTHER A-OK Six years ago Brian Dubie and I ran for the Essex Junction School Board. Neither of us had any prior experience running for elected office. Brian was “just a pilot” and

I was “just a daycare provider,” but we won against strong competitors. Little did we know that our biggest challenges were yet to come. The school district faced serious problems: local businesses wanted school tax increases brought under control; a current Board member was suing the District; a union high school was being created for Essex Junction and Essex Town; the math curriculum in the K-8 district was being criticized by parents and teachers, and special education costs were getting out of hand. After his first year on the Board, Brian agreed to become chairman. Within two years under his leadership all of the above problems were under control or being addressed effectively. Then, just as things were calming down, along came Act 60, which immedi ately wiped out $4.5 million in machinery and equipment tax rev enue from our school funding. Essex Junction took the largest tax increase of any school district in the state. But the board, under Brian’s leadership, was able to maintain school programs and continue to get budgets passed. Brian has the courage to take an active part in making a better way of life for all our children and their future. Out of concern and love for Vermont, he is now run ning for Lt. Governor, and I know that this person who is “just a for mer school board chairman” and “just a pilot” will bring to that job the passion and leadership that our local communities in Vermont need. — Marla Durham Essex Junction A WORD ABOUT CITY COM MISSIONS Thank you for your article regarding the proposed charter change pertaining to City Govern ment [“Commission Impossible,” Oct. 11], in which you refer to my

Vampire Redux

By T ony Magistrale

My vampire shops at the same supermarket as me. So I wasn’t too surprised late last night, when I turned a corner from the red meat counter and into the juice aisle, to find her standing there. Crimson lips and nails, short dress, black heeled boots, same redundant retro fashion sense, but still looking finer than any thousand year-old revenant had any right to be. She’d been anticipating this moment since sunset, her smile all sharpened incisors, no doubt expecting the usual immediate transfusion (we had, after all, been lovers). Listen, we’ve had this conversation already, I protested, I’m through giving up precious blood to satisfy your midnight flesh cravings. But you know that look a woman gets when she’s not hearing a thing, hungry eyes fixated upon a quivering jugular. I felt like staking her right there on the linoleum floor, but the juice section is on the other side of the store from hardware. And she always corners me on those nights when I have forgotten the garlic and bottled waters. Fortunately, we were interrupted by Father Rene, a priest shopping for the local orphanage, or he might be the one relating this narrative, the introduction to a long-winded eulogy. Tony Magistrale is professor o f English at the University o f Vermont, where he teaches a course called “The Literary Vampire. ” His most recent book, Poe’s Children: Connections between Tales of Terror and Detection, was published by Peter Lang. This poem is from a collection entitled Down the Street Where You Live.

Wandering Democrat By A ndrew Jacoby he political left is losing me. I grew up a nice Jewish boy from a good home, raised to respect and love and cherish oth ers and, when it comes to poli tics, to vote Democratic. And I am not sure, come November, if I can. But that’s just what nice Jewish boys are supposed to do, right? Like, “Be a Democrat” is the 614th commandment, after the prohibition against having sex in a subway car with an over weight Latino girl from Queens. But I can’t swallow the supposed political affiliation of my ilk quite that easily. I am a rebel. I spent most of my adolescent years letting my hair down. Unfortunately, it’s still down — all over the floor of my apartment. And as for my first politically rebellious act, it was not voting, a non-act that I decid ed on after taking freshman Philosophy. My professor was Will Miller at the University of Vermont. Professor Miller comes across as a devout Communist who thinks that the best course for America is revolution. Com munist revolution. And I took my 18-year-old ass there with him. I too became a Marxist. I hated capitalism and everything it stood for — greed, money, bad ness, stupidity, McDonalds, long check-out lines, poverty and hate. I learned about how great Cuba is, how more people read in Cuba. I’m serious, there are these wonderful bands of “bookoliers,” or something that, who travel the back roads trudg ing through horse shit in the heat to teach peasants to read. So there I was, sitting in class going, “Yeah! Let the peasants read! Let the peasants read, for chrissakes!” During my vacations I would go out for these nice dinners with my father and show the utmost contempt for his capitalist ways, sometimes yelling out loud in Chinese restaurants how the worlds problems were caused by him and other “capitalistas.” Ail this, of course, as he was dutifully paying the check and pondering the benefits of the liberal-arts education he was also shelling out for. But I was committed, man. Our textbook in class was Democracy for the Few, by Michael Parenti, a former UVM prof who, during the Vietnam War, reportedly marched around downtown Burlington holding a Vietcong flag. Yeah, man, that was cool. To vote was to give legitimacy to the one-party system and all that jazz; to not vote was to say that big business and the sham

politics of its constituents was not my thing. I think it was sometime around then I got laid. Laid well that is, for the first time. So, needless to say, I packed up all my things and moved into her dorm room. We had sex and smoked marijuana and ate chick en wings with a spicy red sauce. That’s what I remember. And it took about three weeks of my. reading to her from Karl Marx and Democracy for the Few for her to say very plainly, “If you con tinue to bother me with that shit you will be here no more.” Suffice it to say I quickly became a man with no political ideas once again. I think I also read On the Jewish Question, and had a few questions of my own. On top of all this, I was just not buying the argument I heard whenever I sheepishly brought up the uncomfortable fact that com munism, well, lost. The response was always something like, “It

thing. It’s just like Phil says in “Box of Rain”: ‘Just a box of rain/No one knows who put it there/believe it if you need it and leave it if you dare.” The scarier part was that, had I been voting, I would have voted based on that shit. Thank God for Will “Amerika” Miller and his voting prohibition, or I would have cast my ballot based on the lyrics of a band that wore tie-dyfe well into the ’90s. And now, here I am, 27 years of age. I have a lot less hair than in those days, I still haven’t “found myself ” — or, as my grandfather puts it, I still haven’t found myself in the same job for more than eight months. Now I am ready to vote. Ready to scale the heights of democratic won derment and cast my ballot for humanity. And where is my sup posed party? In a bunch of Ford Ministars? Taking the kids to soc cer practice? The Democratic party is now

Ready to scale the eights of dem wonderm ent and cast my ballot for humanity. An where is mv supposed party? In a bunch of Ford Ministars? Taking the kids to soccer practice? was never done right,” or “That wasn’t true communism,” or “Look at the kibbutz,” or some thing. I guess the kibbutz thing was the clincher — you can’t run a 240-million-person nation like a shit-tilling agricultural outfit that has no money and shares its children. And, given the fall of Russia and the acquiescence of China, saying that communism could work better than capitalism is like saying that bows and arrows would have beat out guns if only the Indians had aimed better. So, after the death of my first truly dogmatic ideological extrav agance, I gave up the political racket and discovered music. Then alcohol, then more drugs. My political thoughts during those wonderfully carefree years would have amounted to, “Yeah dude, like he is so anti-every-

the Oprah party, the new-age, shooey-gooey party. It’s the coastal elite party. It’s the bureau cratic party. It’s the party with tolerance for everything, toler ance for militant lesbian Jews that kill, for young remarried obese people who want better pay for less work, for everything and everyone with a goddamn hand to put out for money. Here’s a partial laundry list of what I see as Democrat bullshit: • Democrats like affirmative action. I don’t. Affirmative action is racism. It is dealing with peo ple based upon the color of their skin as opposed to the content of their characters. I find that odi ous and condescending. • Democrats like Roe v. Wade. I think Roe v. Wade is bad constitu tional law. Nowhere in the con stitution does it say anything about abortion. And trying to

concoct some shit about privacy is like me trying to say that its okay for me and my girlfriend to roll around in the blood of young children as long as we do it in private. Nonsense. If you favor abortion, then convince people of your position and get them to vote for it. Hell, if you get enough people you can even have it put into the Constitution. Hiring a bunch of liberal judges to have them squeeze your ideo logical notions into law by judi cial fiat is bad for this country. • And finally, Democrats just plain like government too much. They think government is good and can solve problems. This is bullshit. Government is not wellsuited to solve your problems because those who govern are not motivated to solve your prob lems. Ask yourself who the Department of Motor Vehicles, for instance, has to compete with for your business? Ask yourself this as you are standing in a long fucking line in a building that smells like bad middle-school egg salad, waiting to speak to a per son who could not give a shit that you have spent your whole day waiting to see her smiling face as she tells you to go back to the end of the line because form 503 c.-l xct75869 requires three signatures, not two, thank you. Repeat this to yourself: Competition is good; big, stag nant, lumbering omnibuses of despair and long lines leading nowhere are bad. I could go on, and if someone would pay me more, I would, but I want to address the ques tion I started with first. The *• Jewish Democrat question. You would think that Gore teaming up with Senator Lederhosen would solve that problem for me. And I have to admit that I like Lederhosen. I think that he is a man of character. I even doubt that he would stoop to getting sucked off on the White House lawn. Hell, how can you go wrong, right? This is a Jew even the Southern-drawling Christian Right can like. “He may be a Jew but he’s got some of them Christian morals wrapped up in that there yammucka. Hell, I like the boy even if he don’t eat pig.” But, alas, I am going to have to part ways with my Jewish brothers in curls on this one. I’m still looking for a candidate who will let me smoke pot if I want, sleep with whores if I want, look at any nasty pictures I want, and make a whole boatload of cash without having to pump a per centage into a Social Security account that will be dry as the Sahara before I finish puberty. Sorry, boys, but I’m shippin’ out. And as for Al Gore as a leader — he only inspires me to move my bowels. So call me a fascist, an ageist, a racist, whatever you want. But give me reasons to vote for the party of my people, because I am having trouble. Give me reasons . so that I can enter the booth and cast my vote, walk out and down the street to my synagogue feel ing like I did a mitzvah — not just by voting, but by voting cor rectly. (7)

testimony during a public forum at a City Council meeting. I feel it extremely important to point out to your readers that I did not attend the meeting as a repre sentative of the Burlington Police Commission, but rather as a busi ness owner and resident. The Police Commission did not vote on the proposed charter change, as the article indicates. We discussed # it at length during a session regard ing the role of the commission, with the end. result of one commis sioner wholeheartedly supporting the proposed changes, and four of us with important questions regarding the language of the pro posal, particularly in reference to the transfer of accountability from the commissions to the city coun cil... The commission fully supports the mayors quest to have greater control over the city departments, and their respective heads. The cit izens hold him personally account able for the actions (or inaction) of the latter, and he should be able to exercise far greater accountability measures. Speaking as a citizen, however, I question the language of the pro posed change, and the vesting of the right to hire and fire within the city council, rather than the com missions. I feel that the mayor should be able to provide for direct accountability within the commis sion structure, rather than burden ing the council with yet another responsibility. In short, I fully sup port the mayor in the premise of the proposed charter change. My doubts lie in the final execution, and its significance for Burlington’s governance. — Yves Bradley Burlington

QUESTIONS FOR FREYNE As a long-time more or less conservative I read Seven Days fair ly regularly to see how much fur ther into self-destruction Peter “the De-Frocked” Freyne has fallen and which of your Letters to the Editors writers is going to bash either Ruth Dwyer, any anti-civil union proponent, or anybody else who longs for the days when news papers didn’t allow euphemisms like “frickin” to be printed. Whatever. Couple of points. Don’t you think that Al “the Bore” Gore would have been a more salient target for the Newcomb ‘Pinocchio” cartoon in the Sept. 13 issue? After all, Al has lied (Oh, excuse me) embellished on his war record, his tobacco background, his mother-dog pre scription problems, the Love Canal, the Internet... and on ad infinitum. Now to Freyne: He is always quick to characterize any anti-liber al position with vulgar repartee cit ing the offender as either homophobic or hateful or (re Bill Bennett) “representing the kind of morality and vision that once legit imized the placing of his nose deep inside the boxer shorts of the President of the United States.” Hey, Freyne. How would you characterize Begala and Carville? How do you fail to see the obvious liberal philosophy of Chris Graff and Sam Hemingway? So 10 years ago Graff was a “Dick Snelling lap dog?” Yeah, right. And just for the record: Could you cite “the wire story” in which Dick Cheney was doing some “public bitching” about the local Holiday Inn? I would think Cheney would have a few more important things on his mind. Hey, anyway... keep up the good work. I like to cite your col

umn as an example of “a mind being a terrible thing to waste.” — James F. Daley Colchester POLLINA VOTES AND DWYER There is a lot of fear-mongering going on around the governor’s race, and Sandy Baird’s letter [Sept. 20] in support of Howard Dean attacking the Pollina campaign contributes to the climate of fear. Her point that a Dwyer gover nance would be horrible is correct, (although a governor has no power to repeal, nor enact abortion laws), but voting for Pollina cannot make Dwyer’s election any more likely. A vote for Pollina is actually the strongest vote one can cast against Dwyer. The reason is simple. Vermont’s constitution requires an absolute majority for a candidate to win. Splitting the majority between two pro-choice candidates will not give Dwyer that magic 50 percent plus one she would need. Under the constitution, if no candidate gets more than half the votes, the Legislature gets the job of deter mining which candidate is most supported by the majority. There is an overwhelming pro-choice majority in both the Vermont elec torate and in the Legislature. Remember, even many Republican legislators support Howard Dean, considering him the best “Republican” in the race. The fear that a “civil-union backlash” could reverse that major ity and sweep away the incumbents is misplaced, considering that the “Take Back Vermont” crowd con sists predominantly of people who always vote Republican anyway... — Liz Curry Burlington

looking more closely at the real issues? I believe that Vermont is for all Vermonters. — Jessy Parker Plainfield

BOARD WORKS HARD What’s the idea? Burlington has 14 school board members willing to serve the public without pay; they have a hard erfbugh job now without asking them to double their workload. They set policy. They oversee contract negotiations for 600 employees; they scrutinize the budget and present it to the public. Now that Act 60 is law, each serves on an Action Planning Team at every location: the technical cen ter, the high school, ONTOP, the two middle schools, six elementary schools and the Essential Early Education Center. The Action Planning Teams review assessment results and yearly school goals, and collect data to ensure that student performance continually improves. Our school board members are making a difference. Let’s help them continue to do so by voting “no” on the November 7 ballot item 3. — Jane Ewing Burlington

PROUD OF OUR YOUTH I’ve never been so proud to be a Vermonter as I was watching the youth led parade for civil rights in Montpelier culminating in the rally, “Vermont for All Vermonters.” As a teenager, I was busy thinking about dating, grades and clothes. These thoughtful and brave young people had the social consciousness to stand up and march for what they believe in — tolerance, love and equality. In the face of recent threats towards youth perceived as supportive of civil unions, the march was partic ularly admirable. I can only hope that we adults in Vermont can learn from these wise youngsters'. — Gail Marlene Schwartz Montpelier Letters Policy:

FOR ALL VERMONTERS On Sunday, October 15, in Montpelier more than 100 young people turned out in support of civil unions. These young people represent Vermont’s future, and their message to all Vermonters was “equity.” I guess my question to the people who hosted the seminar October 17 in Montpelier is, why attack Outright Vermont this year? It’s been around since 1989, and the materials they use in their HIV/STD Risk Reduction and Prevention Program are supplied by the Vermont Dept, of Health and the National Center for Disease Control. Could it be that it suits certain candidates’ agendas this year? Could it be that stirring up hate, fear, and turning us against each other keeps us from

A ruling at Mount Mansfield High Schoo makes being gay okay .

Mon.-Thurs. ll:30-9:30pm ; FrL & S a t ll:30-10:30pm ; Sun. & H olidays 12-9:30pm

B y R uth Horowitz s the fall campaign slogs through its final weeks, tensions around gay rights are running high, with advocates bracing themselves against the potential impact of anti-civilunion anger, and c-u foes aiming their artillery at the youth advo cacy agency Outright Vermont. But alongside all the bickering, the forces of tolerance and respect have quietly won a small victory in the town of Jericho. At issue: whether a public school can characterize sexual orienta tion as a “reformable” lifestyle choice. In an out-of-court settlement that resolves a nearly 2-year-old quarrel over a proposed appear ance by an “ex-gay minister” at Mount Mansfield High School, Chittenden East Supervisory Union has agreed not to present sexual orientation and gender issues as “debatable points.” The district also promises to host diversity training around sexual orientation for the school’s facul ty and administration — includ ing Superintendent Gail Conley. In exchange, Jericho resident Nat Michael is dropping the discrimi nation charges she brought against the district before the Vermont Human Rights Commission on behalf of her son, Abram Harrison. The settlement leaves unre solved whether the school violat ed any laws. It also leaves stu dents free to discuss sexual orien tation or gender identity however they like. Though Conley downplays the settlement as simply a “clari fication” of the status quo, human-rights advocates applaud the outcome as a victory for all of Vermont’s students. “Does this help send a message that M ount Mansfield values all of its stu dents, and will this help students at that school feel safer and more a part of the school community there?” asks Outright Vermont Executive Director Keith Elston. “The answer is yes.” Outright Vermont, an 11year-old, Burlington-based non profit, sponsors education and outreach programs that encour

age understanding around issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning youth. Contrary to recent accusa tions that the organization pro motes a “homosexual agenda,” the agency’s focus is on fostering respect and dignity for all stu dents in Vermont’s schools.

Awareness Week. Controversy arose when faculty advisor Joseph Corasaniti stipulated that Outrights message be countered by that of an “ex-gay ministry.” Corasaniti was allegedly encour aged by school board member Tut Parmly, who is currently run ning as a Republican candidate

“ Does this help send a message that Mount M ansfield values all o its students, and will this help students at that school feel safer more a part of the school com m unity there? The answ er is yes. ; — Outright Director Keith Elston Luke Mindell, a Mount Mansfield senior and member of M ount Mansfield’s Gay Straight Alliance, sees the Human Rights Commission ruling as part and parcel of the whole state’s progress. “It goes along with everything else in Vermont that’s putting us ahead of everyone else [in the country],” he says. Michael casts her reaction in even stronger terms. “It means that they can’t go in and debate these kids’ humanity.” This month’s agreement ends a dispute that began in the spring of 1999, when the Mount Mansfield High School Student Council invited a speaker from Outright Vermont to participate in the school’s annual Diversity

for the State Senate. The ex-gay ministry — a.k.a. “conversion” or “reparative” therapy — is a national, Christian program that encourages people who say they would like to give up a gay lifestyle. The movement has been repudiated by most mainstream medical organizations, which charge that the therapy is not only ineffective but potentially harmful, because it holds out false hope that changing one’s sexual orientation is possible. Mindell says it was “absurd” to try to “balance” a talk about what it’s like to be gay with one by an “ex-gay” minister. The Gay-Straight Alliance countered Corasaniti’s proposal with one of their own, he recalls: “Have

applauds the vote for human rights. Shawn Donahue, a Department of Education employee who will help conduct the trainings stipulated by the Mount Mansfield agreement, agrees that the situation at the high school is atypical. “We’ve seen Outright Vermont and a number of other organizations doing workshops for other school districts for several years. It’s not a big deal. Just because there’s been this controversy around Outright doesn’t mean that across Vermont, schools have stopped doing programs to make schools safe for all kids.” Ultimately, the real signifi cance of the Mount Mansfield agreement may have less to do with what it requires of Chitten den East’s administration than with what it reveals about Vermont’s high-school students. “I give the kids a lot of credit,” says Donahue. “They’d met with resistance the prior year, but they came back the next year and took it right up to nth degree to see that [a gay perspective] hap pened.” This perseverance is even more impressive, he notes, when you consider the fact that most of those involved in the alliance were heterosexuals. Like the 100 high schoolers who marched for civil unions in Montpelier earlier this month, Donahue says, they’re not a special-interest group acting on their own behalf. “They’re simply looking for a more accepting environ ment for all students.” Whatever the short-term out come of the fall elections, these students’ commitment should come as a comfort to gay-rights advocates. “They’re visionary,” Michael suggests. “They under stand tolerance. They respect each other.” In short, she sums up, “The kids won.” ®

someone speak about what its like to be straight, rather than bringing in someone to speak against another group.” When the school administra tion responded by canceling Awareness Week altogether, Mindell says he became even more infuriated. “I wholeheart edly support Awareness Week,” he says. “I think it’s necessary in today’s high-school community.” A meeting to support the event drew a large crowd of stu dents, faculty and parents. The week was reinstated. And although no ex-gay minister appeared on the program, stu dents were treated to a presenta tion by Burlington drag queen “Yolanda.” “It was standingroom-only,” Michael recalls. “Yolanda discussed with the kids what it was like growing up queer in the South. They gave ‘her’ two standing ovations.” It wasn’t the first time Mount Mansfield students and adminis trators had wrangled over the gay issue. In 1998, when Awareness Week organizers invited Burling ton deejay-musician Craig Mitchell to speak about his expe rience as a gay man, the vice principal included ex-gay minis ter Mark Williams on the pro gram. W hen Mitchell canceled his appearance — for personal reasons — the presentation by Williams was also scotched. Last spring, Diversity Awareness Week didn’t take place at all. W hether or not Awareness Week returns to M ount Mans field next spring, the settlement brings the schools policies in line with those of other high schools around the state, says Elston. “Most schools are already doing what this agreement is requiring. I see M ount Mansfield as an aberration in their attempts to censor, rather than the rule,” he says.

ou expect things to be a bit more Bukowski at the Bissex-Goldberg pad in the New North End of Burlington. But the split-level on Killarney Drive is as suburban as it gets :— even if Bernie Sanders does live a few doors down. Goldberg is positively gracious as he intro duces his 14-year-old daughter, Emma, an honor student at Burlington High School who is studying classical violin. “If you want the straightest kid in the world, be a total fuck-up,” he confides with mischievous pride. He also worries over the fam ily dachshund, Sherlock, as we head out on the back porch on a sunny fall day — one of the last warm days of the year. It’s a con trast to the butt-filled basement recording studio and theater lab where Goldberg spends most of his time. Outside he talks tennis. “Some summers I was out there every day,” he says of the tennis courts at nearby Leddy Park. Because of arthritis in his hips, “when I play, I hurt for two days. But I don’t care. That is sort of my Zen meditation — just me and the ball. I love it.” Picturing this dark-humored poet in tennis whites is a bit of a stretch. But Goldbergs life is full of such incongruities. He’s lazy and prolific. Slimy and sweet. Sophomoric and insightful. Sexy and losing teeth. His plays, about angst-ridden urbanites turning themselves inside out, couldn’t be less Vermonty. Despite some times sparse attendance at his shows, he has no interest in living — or writing — anywhere else. Goldberg came to plays from poetry via “performance pieces” that involved music and theater, inspired by the dance company he worked for. He started with a series of “assemblages” at Johnson that he describes as abstract and conceptual. “It was sort of out of the ‘happenings’ thing, which I really liked. Then I started to write a little dialogue, and before I knew it, I was writing regular plays — or pretty regular plays.” Goldberg describes his writ ing process as “brain bypass.” He heads straight for the subcon scious, aiming right for the emo tions. “From an acting stand point, there’s a lot of meat,” Schnabel says. “It’s edgy and risky and juicy and challenging as hell — and oftentimes really funny.” In his current role as Arnie, Schnabel has some long mono logues — rants, really — that verge on stream of consciousness. “Somehow when he was writ ing it, one thought led to anoth er,” Schnabel says. “Steve trusts in those transitions. It’s up to the actor to make them work.” The result is, well, unsettling. Goldberg likes characters who are “rubbed thin, right into the ground, broken down to their neediest point.” Self-destruction is a favorite theme. “He likes those brilliant los ers,” says Schnabel, “people who are never known by anybody. People who are looked over but have this tremendous inner thing

going on.” Curb Divers evolved from a poem Goldberg wrote about a guy falling into the gut ter, imagining all the while in slow motion that he was an Olympic high board diver. Goldberg concedes his point of view is not all smiley faces. “All the things I love are dark,” he says, listing Tennessee Williams, Eugene O ’Neill and Samuel Beckett as inspirations. He also acknowledges there is an autobiographical element in his work. “The joy is, I don’t have to act out anymore. I can sit back and watch other people do it.” And they do — with a devo tion that is astounding. The ensemble of actors that believe in Goldberg — Schnabel, Girdich, Joy Hopkins, A Salzman, Paul Soychak — swear by his stuff. Schnabel successfully shopped Ballroom to a theater company in San Francisco that is producing the play early next year. He is convinced the world will eventu ally discover and appreciate Goldberg. “I just don’t know if it will be before he dies,” he adds. For a guy who blew off big chances, and burned his master tapes in the family fireplace, Goldberg seems pretty interested in posterity these days. Not to mention money and success. “It’s the bottom of the ninth, you know, and I hit a long ball. I want to knock it out of the fuck ing stadium, you know. It’s a full count and there’s pressure. I wish I would sort of Zen out and say, ‘Who cares?’” Goldberg does and he doesn’t — depending on how this story plays out. “If it ends up working — and by working I mean that some of this stuff sells, I get some money for my kids — then I can say I did everything right,” he explains gloomily. “If none of that happens, I can say I totally fucked everything up.” Getting nailed by the cops after a gig at the Discover Jazz Festival was certainly not part of the master plan. Goldberg is still steamed about how he got his second DUI — he tried to leave his car in a downtown parking ,lot, but an alcohol counselor chased him out, then tipped off the cops. “If he thought I was drunk he should have invited me inside to have a cup of coffee. What if I would have killed someone? This guy would have been just as responsible.” It remains to be seen whether his One Mistake — the play Goldberg is writing as “commu nity service” for his driving offense — turns out to be a mis nomer. If the kids respond to it, Goldberg plans to reconfigure the play so it can be sold to high schools all around Vermont. “It would be ironic if that’s the thing that ends up making me money,” he says. “Taking something nega tive and making it positive.” For a change. © .

Assemblage artist Steve Tremblay starts from scrap By Pamela P olston oise is a relative term. For example, when Burlington’s code enforcer investigates a noise complaint, the neighbors could be fluffed about a stereo on stun, a gaggle of coeds walking home from the bars a little too merrily or maybe just the people upstairs clomping around in their Docs. The neighbors should just be grateful Steve Tremblay doesn’t live next door. Steve Tremblay has a Noise Monster, and when it’s going fullthrottle, you knowvAv&t noise is. But it’s music to his ears, and he can crank it all he wants at his otherwise ordinary farmhouse in Ferrisburgh. Though its name suggests something a bit more anthropo morphic, the Noise Monster is actually a stack of second-hand equipment — two keyboards, tape deck, police scanner, turntable, AM radio, TV set and sound manipulators — adhered to each other to create one behe moth around seven feet tall. And let’s not forget the speaker cabi nets, in an imposing tower or two, nor the microphone, through which Tremblay can add — and alter — his own voice. “Usually I have it directed at the TV set,” he explains, “but lately I’ve had it directed at my own mouth.” And thus does the creator become part of his creation, though only slightly more so, per haps, than a guitarist surrounded by effects boxes. Tremblay, an affable, boyish-looking 31 -yearold with shoulder-length hair and brown doe-eyes, is no Dr. Frankenstein, and the Noise Monster shows no human ten dencies — so far. What it does demonstrate is one guy’s unlimit ed love for making a racket. As with any plugged-in instru ment, the Noise Monster’s capaci ty to deafen depends entirely on the position of the volume knob, ~ and at performances in local bars or galleries you might suspect Tremblays gotten hold of a dis carded Spinal Tap amp — the kind that goes to 11.

Monsters unique sound is not defined by decibels; it’s about the assortment of stimuli emitting from the thing. No two “concerts” are ever the same, because the elements Tremblay manipulates are nowhere near as predictable as, for instance, a chord on a piano. What he puts on the turntable or tape deck, and what happens to be on the radio or scanner or tele vision, will be completely differ ent at any moment, as will the way he then twiddles knobs and faders and effects. “I start with one element, say, a rhythmic puls ing tone, and build~on that,” Tremblay explains. “It becomes a construction process, and a lot of the elements are out of my con trol. I’ll pull things out of the air waves or pop in a tape of, say, a children’s story. I don’t plan them in advance, so I don’t know where in the tape it will say a specific thing. But I find there are coinci dental things that go together,” he adds, “and I really like that serendipitous result.” Other people like it, too, In just five years in Burlington, Tremblay has built a niche for himself, performing initially as part of a local alt-rock band called Bag of Panties, at galleries and special events. The biggest gigs by far have been a couple of Phish festivals, where his “Noise Houses” enabled phans to get in on the act. Now, Tremblay’s pen chant for abandoned equipment has taken a new turn: lamps. Not ordinary lamps, mind you, but creations that are lighting the path toward a broader definition of art.

remblay still doesn’t think of himself as an artist, really, though he’s willing to call himself a “musician who dabbles in art.” During his “typical subur ban upbringing” in Merrimack, New Hampshire — dad’s a mechanical engineer, mom is a geriatric nurse — he didn’t show any signs of becoming either. “But I’ve always been fascinated by junk,” Tremblay says. “My house was kind of a rat’s nest; my par ents were packrats and never

threw anything away. I definitely absorbed that from them.” To this day Tremblay still has vivid dreams about going to another kid’s house and seeing new boxes of toys, “discovering toys I didn’t know existed. I don’t know how that ties into what I do now, except I have always been drawn to stuff, collected and amassed as much stuff as I could,” he explains. “Eventually I realized I wanted to combine those things and make new things.” Needless to say, dumpsters and ReCycle North are treasure troves to Tremblay. Though he is certainly not the first guy to make “stuff” — toys, instruments or art — out of dis carded equipment and other detritus, Tremblay hasn’t made a point of studying anyone else who did or does. “I can’t name an artist that I’ve been influenced by,” he says. “I didn’t take an art class beyond eighth grade.” At UNH, Tremblay majored in English — “I was undeclared until I had to declare,” but admits the main thing he got out of col lege was being in a band. “It really started in high school,” Tremblay explains. “I was a little skatepunk, and my friends came to see me one day and said we were a band and I was the singer. We stayed with it in college.” “When people ask me about Steve, I always tell them about The Pink Belly Wipeouts,” says his friend Pascal Spengemann. Now the curator of Firehouse Gallery, Spengemann met, and played music with, Tremblay back at UNH. “I was completely blown away by them,” he contin ues. “They were a fourpiece that played their own songs, but also played The Stooges, Stiff Little Fingers, really cool selections. They wore costumes, even played naked.” “It was sort of costume rock,”’ Tremblay clarifies. “We made dif ferent costumes for each show — we didn’t play that often. My most memorable one was, we made grass skirts from wreaths, painted our bodies black and white from head to toe, and had messy lipstick.” That performance

VERMONT PUBLIC TELEVISION

gone horribly wrong. Some of the sounds were merely ambient — whirrs, whooshes, spooky elec tronic tones. The overall impres sion was simultaneously addictive and unsettling, and you knew you were witnessing the simultaneous death and mutation of American culture. The televisions themselves became the focus of subsequent Tremblay exhibits, and if you’ve never seen — and heard — a wall of TVs blaring different things, you don’t know the meaning of overstimulation. Does it occur to Tremblay that his creations might be just a tad grating? “Yes,” he acknowledges amiably, “it does occur to me, but people have the choice of staying or going away. There are some people who enjoy it.” Pretty much everyone who saw it enjoyed “Housewife Cockfight,” an installation at the Firehouse three years ago. Corralled in a glass-sided pen about 10 feet square, an assort ment of household appliances bat tled it out bumper-car style. With floor-scrubber bottoms that enabled the “critters ’ to move freely, and attached to extension cords above, they rammed hap lessly into each other in a kind of bad-appliance hell. The exhibit blew a few fuses and literally shocked its creator — not the first nor, probably, the last time Tremblay’s little wired offspring rebelled. But unlike the Noise Monster or an intimidating stack of televi sions, “Housewife Cockfight” was perversely playful. Spengemann recalls one guy who walked in to the gallery and exclaimed, “Oh, this should be on TV!” Mildly exasperated by the idea of vicari ous reality, the curator pointed out that the gentleman was stand ing right in front of it, could get inside it if he wanted. But Spengemann later realized that in a way the man’s remark was a compliment. “To say it’s on a level with TV, that’s not a.bad thing,” he says. “The stuff is compelling and entertaining. It’s all right for art to be fun.” Tremblay has helped change his mind about what art is, Spengemann concedes. “It can include this kind of entertainment factor, it doesn’t have to be ironic or overly serious. It can be funny.” He notes that Tremblay was raised on “pre-good-special-effects TV — as soon as they get too good it starts to be about the effects. I don’t think there’s anything campy about Steves work; he tends to take the stuff for what it is, and finds the charm about it without having to be ‘wink-wink, nudge-nudge.’” “Funny” is one way to describe the Noise House at Phish’s Oswego, New York, show last year — one of several installa tions he’s done for the band. Tremblay lined the interior walls of the three-little-pigs-sized struc ture with all sorts of things that could be manipulated to make sound — a guitar, a children’s xylophone, foddler toys, tape

FOR PLAYING OUR LOUD Tremblay hits the high notes in Ferrisburgh. recorders, answering machines and, of course, televisions. On a videotape recorded from inside the house, one Phishhead’s remark says it all: “ What is going on in here, man?”

hether you call it art or music, the chaos of col liding sounds in Tremblays exhibit-performances inevitably suggests the metaphor of a world, or at least culture, spinning out of control. And a part of that dissemblage has to do with the rampant and rapid dis carding of its own history. In his own dementedly creative way, Tremblay is trying to piece it back together with what Spengemann calls “the things that were passed over.” You might call him a “reconstructionist” artist, on a mission to counter all the decon structing going on. But he’s not just sticking one old thing onto another haphaz ardly. “Steve somehow has a filter, he just knows which things in pop culture are interesting,” Spengemann says. “He just fol lows his heart, his aesthetic. It’s not hard to be true to, but he continues to be interested in simi lar materials that most people don’t use.” Indeed, the jumble of passe items in Tremblay’s house — including 8-track recorders and a bizarre selection of tapes — gives it the feel of a nursing home for elderly, abandoned and nowunloved technology. Last month Tremblay had occasion to show examples of both his more complex and his relatively simpler work. The for mer was his installation, “The Firehouse Control Center,” in the basement of the Firehouse Gallery during a recent reception. It fea tured Tremblay in his mad-scientist guise, directing the Noise Monster through a maniacal sonic tirade, as well as a dizzying assort ment of flashing lights and a cave like installation behind a curtain. Peering through, a viewer could see in the dimly lit recess a variety

of quirky found objects and a live figure — Tremblay’s old chum Joe Power — perched like a stunned Rip Van Winkle amid the 20thcentury debris. “Control Center” was, if not the most technical, certainly the most multi-media of Tremblay’s installations to date. His simpler, and quieter, con structions — lights — have evolved right from the beginning, along with spheres whose insides project human features and recorded sound, and rather adorable little robots that bleep and blink. But the “lamps” Tremblay is making these days are almost utilitarian enough to hang in the average living room. Well, maybe not average. Some of his lighted sculptures were shown at, appropriately, the Lamp Shop on Pine Street during the Art Hop. Making great use of Christmas tree lights, the orbs flash jauntily and colorfully like incoming friendly aliens, and would not be out of place on a Star Wars set. More toned-down variations are currently in use at Club Metronome, adding a kind of space-age bachelor-pad feel to the darkened room. “He’s taking [art] back to a sort of practical use — though his lamps are not exactly practical,” remarks Spengemann. “Steve is going back to craft — it just shows he doesn’t make any dis tinction between those things.” Tremblay will lend his lumi nous talents to the Very Special Masquerade Ball this Saturday at the Shelburne Farms Coach Barn, apd says he might bring a “fur ball” — made of 26-inch bicycle rims enclosing two TVs and cov ered by shaggy faux fur. He’ll return the Noise Monster to Firehouse for another perform ance next month. Both presenta tions will surely be viewed with degrees of wonder. And is all this really Art? “I totally think of Steve as an artist now,” Spengemann declares firmly. “That’s what’s so great about artists. They help you see things in a new way.” ®

SEVEN DAYS • v-:;

October 25, 2000

Inside Track continued from page 5a Uncensored — Last week, Sharon Underwood ofW hite River Junction sent yours truly the following letter. Several daily newspapers in Vermont, she wrote, had published her piece, and the response has been over whelming — more than 1500 let ters, calls and e-mails from around the region and the world. Sharon Underwood is a brave and eloquent Vermonter. Her words have touched hearts and steadied souls at a time when so many of “the best” among us, as the poet William Butler Yeats put it, “lack all conviction while the worst are full o f passionate inten sity.” Unfortunately, the largest newspaper in Vermont, the Gannett-chain’s Burlington Free Press, declined to publish Underwood s powerful prayer. She said an “irritable editor,” later identified as Stephen Kiernan, the editor o f the editorial page — told her it was “too long” to print. We beg to disagree. And we’ll gladly make some room:

“I am the mother o f a gay son, and I have taken enough from you good people. I ’m tired o f your foolish rhetoric about the “homosexual agenda”and your allegations that accepting homosexuality is the same thing as advocating sex with chil dren. You are cruel and you are igno rant. You have been robbing me o f the joys o f motherhood ever since my children were tiny. My first born son started suffering at the hands o f the moral little thugs from your moral, upright families fo m the first time he was in first grade. He was physically abusedfrom the first grade straight through high school because he was perceived to be gay. He never professed to be gay, or had any association with anything gay, but he had the misfor tune not to walk or have gestures like the other boys. He was called “ f ag”incessantly, starting when he was six. In high school, while your chil dren were doing what kids that age should be doing, mine labored over a suicide note, drafting and redraft ing it to be sure his family knew how much he loved them. My sob bing 17-year-oId tore the heart out o f me as he choked out that he just couldn’t bear to continue living any longer, that he didn’t want to be gay and that he couldn’t face a life with no dignity. You have the audacity to talk about protecting families and chil dren fo m the homosexual menace, while you yourselves tear apart fam ilies and drive children to despair. I don’t know why my son is gay, but I do know that God didn’t put him, and millions like him, on this Earth to give you someone to abuse. God gave you brains so that you could think, and it’s about time you started doing that. A t the core o f your misguided beliefs is the belief this could never happen to you, that there is some kind o f subculture out there that people have chosen to join. The fact is that i f it can happen to my fami ly, it can happen to yours, and you

wont get to choose. ” .. ' Whether it is genetic, or whether something occurs during a critical time o f fetal development, I don’t know. I can only tellyou with absolute certainty that it is inborn. I f you want to tout your own morality, you’d best come up with something more substantive than your heterosexuality. You did noth ing to earn it; it was given to you. I f you disagree, I would be interested in hearing your story, because my own heterosexuality was a blessing I received with no effort whatsoever on my part. It is so woven into the very soul o f me that nothing could ever change it. For those o f you who reduce sex ual orientation to a simple choice, a character issue, a bad habit or something that can be changed by a 10-step program, I ’m puzzled. Are you saying that your own sexual orientation is nothing more than something you have chosen? That you could change it at will? I f that’s not the case, then why do you suggest that someone else can? A popular theme in your letters is that our state has been infiltrated by outsiders. Both sides o f my fami ly have lived in Vermont for genera tions. I am heart and soul a Vermonter, so I ’ll thank you to stop saying that you are speakingfor “true Vermonters. ” You invoke the memory o f the brave people who have fought on the battlefield in this great country, saying that they didn’t give their lives so that the “homosexual agen da”could tear down the principles they died defending. My 83-yearoldfather fought in some o f the most horrific battles o f World War II, was wounded and awarded the Purple Heart. He shakes his head in sadness at the life his grandson has had to live. He says he fought alongside homosexuals in those bat tles, that they did their part and bothered no one. One o f his best fiends in the service was gay, and he never knew it until the very end, and when he didfind out it mat tered not at all. That wasn’t the measure o f the man. You religious folk just can’t bear the thought that as my son emerges from the hell that was his child hood, he might like to find a life long companion and have a meas ure o f happiness. It offends your sensibilities that he should request the right to visit that companion in the hospital, to make medical deci sionsfor him or to benefit from tax laws governing inheritance. You use religion to abdicate your responsibility to be thinking human beings. There are vast num bers o f religious people who fin d your attitudes repugnant. God is notfor the privileged majority, and God knows my son has committed no sin. The deep-thinking author o f the letter, who lectures a b o u t hom osexu al sin a n d tells a b ou t “those o f us who have been blessed w ith the benefits o f a religious upbringing, ” asks, “W hatever happened to the idea o f strivin g to be better hum an beings than we are?”

PRINC ES OF BABYLON (Philadelphonic, C D ) — O n one hand, w hat the world does not need m ore o f is another buncha w hite guys trying to sound black. O n the other, Philadelphia’s Princes o f Babylon get m ost o f their “appropriation” down pretty dam n fine, in part because they don’t overdo it. Besides, nobody owns n othin’ anymore, do they? M ost o f these grooves are urban funk-lite, not too complex — the Princes sound m ore like they’re having a swell tim e in the studio than trying to impress anybody. T hese five princes have street smarts and hip-hop sobriquets — guitarist/vocalist Davy Quicks, bassist/vocalist Katm an, vocalist/percussionist M C I, drum m er/vocalist Riggity Ry and percussionist Uncle Craig — and you’ll notice alm ost all o f them sing. If one thing sets PO B apart from other w hite-boy hiphoppers, it’s th at the vocals here, w hether rapping, scatting or actually singing, are good enough that you begin to suspect som eone’s been taking lessons. I’m n o t talking Boyz II M en here, m ind you — even though they don’t shy away from the occasional three-part harm ony or doo-wop touch, PO B are m uch grittier. Never m ind that in their press photo they look like frat boys on vacation. T he opener, “Leave It to U s,” is one o f the two tracks o u t o f this nine-song, eponym ous collection th at inspires som e serious ass-shakin’, though none o f them really let you sit down.

later on is more uptem po — that is, when it isn’t set tling back into a staccato percussive thing and the expected animal noises. For the m ost part, Princes o f Babylon is a laid-back experience. I’m not sure who the laconic but agile rapper is in “Everybody,” though I suspect it’s M C I (or is that props to their phone com pany in lieu o f paying the bill?). T he rhym ing is credible, the rhythm loping. Quicks shows off just a tiny bit on the boy-looksfor-girl ditty “Streets o f Philly” — he lays down some stylin’ licks w ithout breaking a sweat, and co-chairs a funky tete-a-tete w ith Riggity Ry. “H ip H op Soul Groove” is pretty m uch w hat the nam e suggests — an easy-going party groove, com plete w ith chatter mixed in the background. “You G otta D rink It” would make a good hazing soundtrack, I suppose; the snaky bass-and-drum s intro leads into simple, repeat-after-m e verses that are dolled up, later on, by some o f those right-on harmonies. It’s these little touches that give PO B away, like guys trying to be, well, regular guys, then letting slip a vocabulary w ord m ost o f us can’t even pronounce. Princes o f Babylon is a booty-shaker that doesn’t require fancy dance steps. Check out the royal groove thang this Friday at Red Square. — Pamela Polston

IRENE FARRERA,

SO Y DE TI

(Ingidena Records, C D ) — If you like any variety o f Latin m usic and are not familiar w ith the transcendent rhythm s and vocal work o f Venezuelan singer and m ulti-instru m entalist Irene (ee-reen-ah) Farrera, it’s about tim e you knew. Farrera lives in the Pacific N orthw est and her appearances on the East Coast are rare, in V erm ont even rarer. H er last local perform ance was one o f the highlights o f the 1999 Cham plain Folk Festival. Irenes third album, Soy de Ti ( I A m Yours), gives the listener a small taste o f her remarkable musical abilities. T he C D is co-produced by steel drum pioneer A ndy Narell, so it’s

no surprise that the album contains a good share o f percussion and steel drum throughout. Farrera cites Brazilian divas Elis Regina and Maria Bethania as m ajor influences, b u t her own singing is singular and exquisite — one o f the m ost riveting low voices you will ever hear. She’s also an accom plished guitarist and a wicked cuatro player. T he cuatro is a small, high-pitched, 10-stringed instrum ent that perfectly com plem ents that voice. Soy de Ti con tains a melange o f love songs (m ost w ritten by Farrera), sultry ballads sung in Spanish — the title track and “N on So” are standouts — and deliriously upbeat anthem s about world unity and dance. O ne is a shaking Venezuelan num ber, “La N egra del T am unangue,” th at practically picks you o u t o f your chair and spins you around the room . T he R hom bus Gallery, hom e o f the Burlington Coffeehouse, is a pretty small space to hold such a powerful m usician, b u t the size o f the room will make her show even m ore special. D on’t miss this one Saturday night. — Robert Resnik

ot surprisingly, paper was invented by a bureaucrat. A Chinese court official named Ts’ai Lun is credited with perfect ing paper-making in 105 AD, and, for better or worse, paper has buried us ever since. The aver age American uses about 750 pounds of it a year, much of it in 8.5” x 11” sheets. Why that pecu liar size has become the standard for so many uses seems to be a mystery; nevertheless, this months exhibit at the Firehouse couldn’t happen without it. “8.5"x 1 1 is an exhibit by the employees of Jager DiPaola Kemp Design in Burlington, and its thematic ingredi ent is paper of that ubiquitous dimen sion. Each artist used a single sheet as a starting point. From that lowly beginning, a rich array of art works took shape. The motif was not an end in itself; in many of these works, the 8.5" x 11" paper seems incidental. An untitled quartet of black-and-white Xeroxes by Alison Lange, for example, is primarily a collection of visual textures copied from what seems to be a painting thick with heavily impasted brushwork. ‘ The four sheets of paper are arranged into a square, and the darks and lights of the image move through the overall arrangement with great fluidity. “The Mile High Club,” byTevis Huston, also uses Xeroxing as a medium. In this case murky porn images were photocopied and folded into paper airplanes. Six planes in groups of two appear like three-dimensional schematics. Each presents a different part of the folding process, from first fold to finished plane. The title refers to having sex at 5280 feet. That naughty concep tual compo nent seems a bit flaccid, but the notion of presenting paper airplanes as art — a sort of post-industrial origami — is fairly interesting. Denis Kegler and Nick La Vecchia created a stencil out of their 8.5" x 11" paper, and went on a guerrilla art expedition documented by Polaroids. The enigmatic title, “Tanabis,” is a col lection of five photos and the stencil of a shad owy face. This image appears on a mailbox, a telephone pole, the corner of a building and other locations. Its a well-designed stencil, and

Each artist used a jingle sheet as a

the guerrilla art it spawned is a curious artistic presence appearing in nondescript places. Viewers of these art attacks will perhaps be seeing some of “the consciousness of chaos” outlined in the Jager DiPaola Kemp Design manifesto that appears on the Internet. “Tanabis,” as a multiple image appearing in seemingly unrelated sites, has its roots in precepts as familiar to commercial design as they are to guerrilla and graffiti artists. “Shim,” by James Landers, is one of several purely sculptural pieces in the show. Landers set up an elegantly appointed cafe table for two. Napkins match the deep purple tablecloth and chair seats, but under the table is a neatly folded piece of paper serving as a shim. It indicates a

hidden lack of balance, perhaps, or looks like a note waiting to be found. Either way, the simple act of placing the folded sheet of paper in that position gives the otherwise meaningless scene an ulterior layer of purpose. “100,” an installation by Michael Jager and Giovanna Di Paola Jager, is a companion to the exhibit that also uses 8.5" x 11" Xeroxes. These are much less ambiguous than anything else in the show. One hundred posters from the National Center for Missing and Endangered Children have been orga nized in groups of 20 on five sheets of plywood. These are laying side by side, just inches above the floor, across the installation gallery. Many of these small poster^feature a computer-generated ren dition of how the child would look sever al years after becoming an “endangered runaway,” or after the “non-family abduc tion” took place. “100” also asks a ques tion almost as a subtitle: “Do cultural communication standards condition us to make invisible what we do not wish to face?” T hat’s a particularly good question for designers to ask.themselves as they define those standards. The earliest-known paper airplane design dates from about 1907 — four years after the Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk. Even Leonardo Da Vinci couldn’t have come up with a paper air plane without seeing a real airplane first. “8.5" x 11"” demonstrates how varied responses to cre ative problems can be, but it also breaks no new creative ground. Single sheets of paper are just too complex to be fully understood. ©

“Critically panned” and “poorly reviewed” don’t begin to describe the reception Mimi (Deep Impact, The Peacemaker) Leder’s latest has gotten in the entertainment press. “Universally reviled” is more like it. For a film about the logarithmic power of love, it’s attracted a whole lotta hate. Pay It Forward isn’t entirely the toxic cliche dump its rep would suggest, however. For one thing, the cast is as good as it gets. Helen Hunt, for example, plays another down-on-her-luck wait ress struggling to make ends meet while raising a troubled son on her own. She could play this part in her sleep by now, but, to her credit, the actress is on full alert. Haley Joel Osment follows his astonishing turn in The Sixth Sense with an equally impressive and precocious performance. This time around, he doesn’t see dead people. He sees how people might make the world a nicer place in which to live. When his seventh-grade sociology teacher kicks off the year by challenging the class to come up with an idea that will change the world, he does the last thing the instructor expects. He takes the assignment seriously, and devises a golden rule for the new millennium: Pay it forward. W hat it means is, do something wildly nice for some one, with the condition that he

or she then does something wild ly nice for three other people. It’s a sort of pyramid scheme for universal peace and, not surpris ingly, the two people the boy wants to help most are his moth er and his teacher. Kevin Spacey could have phoned in his performance as well, but instead brings the occa sional zap of depth to what could have been a routine TV-movie kind of part. He’s smart, single and scarred for life. Literally. His face is blistered from burns he received as a child and, despite the rather blinding and humongous green light he gets from H unt romantically, the poor guy can’t quite trust enough to open up to her. Osment, of course, continues to work on the love connection throughout the film. The bond that’s forged between these three people is the core of the picture and virtually everything I liked about it. In a sense, this is a great, big, hokey, mediocre movie that happens to have a smaller and quite satisfy ing film inside it. That little movie in the middle of all the cliches and melodrama is the Pay It Forward I recommend. The rest is everything the pic ture’s many critics have claimed. And less. A bathos-bloated Grand Canyon lite, this film attempts to say something meaningful and optimistic at the dawn of the new century, but fails to do

much besides recycle lots of stereotypes and plot devices from the old one. Everything but the kitchen sink is thrown in. Nearly every character is an extreme specimen of some overly familiar type. W ithin the periphery of just one family, for example, we encounter a divorced mother who works as a waitress in a seedy bar and was abused sexual ly as a child, an abusive drunk of an ex-husband, a destitute heroin addict with a heart of gold, a father who physically abuses his son and an elderly mother who’s gone off to live among the homeless and drink herself to death. Sounds like something Oprah would nominate for a Pulitzer Prize. Thefe are other heartstringyanking developments, but I can not mention them, as they occur during that sacred place in the story — the end. Though, believe me, their only surprise is that the film’s creators would sink to them. I liked the story at the heart of Pay It Forward, I liked its cen tral performances, and I liked its sense of optimism. Leder displays courage by making, in such cyni cal times, a film suggesting each of us has the capacity to do infi nitely better. Personally, I’m not sure that’s actually true of every one. After watching her latest movie, though, I know it’s true of her. (7)

bad news is, this is just the first of at least two sequels on the way following the inexplicable success of the silly, unsatisfying original.

GOOD CLEAN FUN Life was simpler in the good old days. That’s the way we tend to romanticize it, anyway. The harsh truth is, life was also harder, dirtier and usually shorter. In a lecture that harks back to Vermont’s famous flu pandem ic, Marilyn Blackwell makes the connection between public health and the development of welfare systems, sniffing out early sanitation strategies and other evidence the Green Mountain State was trying to clean up its act.

NIGHTMARE ON PROSPECT STREET

DEAD HEAD

SCARED SCRIPTLESS

Just in time for Halloween, the famously flamboyant British ensemble Red Priest has concocted an unusual offering: a spirited program of baroque music enti tled “ Nightmare in Venice.” With a sort of ghouls-and-goblins greatest hits list, the 3-year-old group will dig into Vivaldi’s “ Nightmare Concerto,” Tartini’s “ The Devil’s Trill" and Falconiero’s “ The Battle of Satan and Barabas.” Should be one hell of a s h o w .. . .

If there’s anything the folks at Magic Hat enjoy more than making great beer, it’s dressing up in funny outfits. For years they’ve thrown the wildest Mardi Gras parade and party around. Now they’ re brewing up a whole new way to celebrate Halloween. “ Night of the Living Dead” marks the company’s sixth birthay and serves up a hopping concoction of music, dance, performance art and side-show entertainment. Five hundred bucks goes to the group with the best getup.

Stage fright takes on new meaning in the hands of Montpelier’s Lost Nation Theater. That is, it’s the audience that is likely to feel nervous during “ Edgar Allan Poe and Friends,” candlelight readings from the author’s most hair-raising works and those of other macabre-minded writ ers. Set.to bone-chilling organ accom pa niment, the performance is sure to earn raven reviews.

D ear Cecil, I thought I sh o u ld consult y o u fir s t before I w en t ahead w ith m y p la n to destroy the moon. M y questions to y o u are simple, or m aybe not. C o u ld the E arth (a n d the scum, w ho in h a b it it) survive w ith o u t the moon? W ould the lack o f its g ra vita tio n a l sway cause any substan tia l dam age aside fr o m p issing o f f a lot ofsurfers? W ould everyone all o f a sudden have one serious m o o d swing? J u st how im p o rta n t is this m oving target? I w o n t begin operations u n til I hear fr o m yo u first. — Greg Angelone via the In tern et

Destroying m ajor planetary bodies shows a lack o f m aturity, Greg. T here are better ways o f expressing your anger. C an’t you just hold your breath until you tu rn blue? At the m om ent I can’t give you a definite answer on the effects o f destroying the m oon. T h e parties I’ve consulted so far think that either (a) noth in g m uch will happen, or (b) it’ll be the end o f the world. I’m w orking on getting this pinned down. O ne question: H ow do you propose to have the m oon taken out? Obviously, if island-size chunks will be raining dow n on Cleveland, there’s going to be a significant negative im pact (on Cleveland, anyway). In order n o t to mess up our answer, however, let’s assume you’re thinking o f a sim ple process o f vaporization. M y initial thoughts regarding the im pact o f lunar destruction were as follows: (I) N o m ore big tides, surfing, etc. Tides w ouldn’t disappear entirely, since the sun w ould continue to tug on th e oceans, caus ing high tides o f dim inished am plitude at noon and m idnight. But, as one early consultant pointed out, it’s a safe bet the b ottom

its tidal extremes. (2) Dogs would have to bay at, I dunno, A lpha Centauri. (3) M uch darker at night. D uh, you say, but a fair am ount o f noctural activity am ong the lower orders is pegged to m oonlight. (4) T he famous children’s book G oodnight M oon would require considerable rethinking. (5) O ne less thing to rhym e w ith June. (6) W e’d have to th in k up another nam e for shoving your naked b u tt out the car w indow at passersby. (7) N o m ore eclipses. Incidentally, the next partial eclipse o f the sun visible in N o rth America will occur this com ing Christm as Da^. W ouldn’t w ant to miss that, so please hold off on the destruction o f the m oon till after the holidays. (8) O n July 20, 2069, people will say, “Neil who walked on w hat!”

In other words, we’d probably cope, so if it were left to me I’d say go ahead. But there are a lot o f scaremongers out there. A sam pling o f proposed fatal scenarios: (1) Loss o f the m eteorite shield and resultant flaming death. Some say th at if not for the m oon, all those m eteorites that made huge craters (150 miles and m ore in diam eter) on the lunar sur face w ould have flattened Nebraska instead. Like anybody would have noticed. M y feeling is, while lunar shielding may have been im portant in the early days o f the solar system, how m any giant m eteorites do you see crashing into the m oon now? I w ant to know w hat the m oon has done for m e lately. (2) End o f life as we know it. In his book W h a t I f the M oon D id n ’t Exist? Voyages to Earths T h a t M ig h t H ave Been (1993), astronom er Neil Com ins speculates that life would never have evolved from the prim ordial soup if not for the m oon and accom panying tides. W ith weaker solar tides and thus a lesser distance between the littoral reach o f high and low tides, there w ould have been fewer tidal pools, the petri dish for so m any forms o f life. As one com m entator puts it, no am phibians = no land animals = no us. However, at the risk o f appearing ungrateful, I have to point o u t that, evolutionarily speaking, we’re kinda past the lizard stage. T h e riposte to this is th at even now tidal m otion helps keep the oceans churned up, circulating nutrients and generally helping to prom ote life beneath the waves. N o churning = no circulating nutrients = no life. (3) O rbital instability. T his has been the m ost controversial

area o f all. A t first m y reaction was, w hat orbital instability? Everybody knows that the radius o f th e E arth’s orbit is r = G M /v 2, where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass o f the sun, and v is the Earth’s orbital velocity. In other words, orbital radius is independent o f planetary mass, so despite the loss o f 1/81 o f the com bined terralunar bulk, orbitw ise the Earth w ould rock on. Various individuals claim, though, th at Earth’s orbit would becom e m ore elliptical, its axial tilt w ould becom e wobblier due to the influence o f Jupiter, and w ho knows w hat else. If G od had been subject to this kind o f environm ental im pact baloney, the creation o f the universe w ould still be in com m unity hearings. I say let her blow. H ow bad could it be?

RAY: So the answer is that you should inflate your spare tire to the same pressure that you inflate the rest o f your tires. W hether it’s on or off the car appears to make no significant difference. T O M : A nd I w ould have to guess th at the reason it makes no difference is because p rop erly designed tires m aintain the same exact volum e inside, despite the fact that they deform under the weight o f the car. RAY: You’ll notice th at the tires change shape under the weight o f the car, flattening a b it on the bottom b u t w iden ing a bit on the sides. K ind o f like m y brother did as he got older. T O M : But because they’ve been designed to handle the weight o f the car & have enough sidewall strength, the volum e inside the tires stays the same, and thus the pres sure stays the same.

D ear Tom a n d Ray: I took m y car in today to service m y brakes. The mechanic called me & said th a t I needed the “p re m iu m brake p a d s” be cause I have big calipers or something. ( I took th a t as a com plim ent.) M y question is: Is th a t true? I have a 1 9 9 7 Chevy L um ina. M y fir s t assumption was th a t he j u s t w a n ted to sell m e a more expensive p a r t or d id n ’t have any o f the cheaper pads in stock. Was I taken? — Lance

RAY: N o t at all, Lance. For a lot o f cars, you CAN choose from a variety o f “grades” o f brake pads — from “Shinola” on down. But for this particu lar car, the so-called prem ium pads are the only ones that are

deemed acceptable by Chevrolet. T O M : M y guess is that in testing the car, Cheyy deter m ined that lesser-quality pads did not provide enough stop ping power. T he prem ium pad^ have m ore metallic con tent, so they not only .stop the car better, but they also last longer. O n the downside, they cost m ore — for your car, about $70 a set (four pads, which cover both front wheels). A nd because o f the metallic content, they some times make m ore o f a screech ing noise when you stop. RAY: You could, I’m sure, convince some other m echanic to put in a cheaper set o f pads for this car, Lance. But they w ouldn’t stop the car as effec tively, and you’d have to replace them again sooner. So I’d stick w ith the factory rec om m endation. T O M : Interestingly, a lot o f taxi drivers use the real-cheap pads. Since they^re jam m ing on their brakes all day long, they don’t w ant to hear the brakes screeching at all, and neither do their customers, I guess. RAY: And the pads they use cost about $7 a set. I th in k they’re m ade o f compressed D unkin’ D onuts coffee cups. But since the cabs are in the garage every night anyway, they can change the pads out whenever they need to — w hich is probably about once a week.

Oct. 26 - Nov.1

ARIES (Mar. 21 -Apr.

vs**

19): You’re as soaking wet w ith briny em otion as a Pisces on a binge. You have the potential to be as skilled and calculating a listener as a Scorpio who’s trying to find secret vulnerabili ties in valuable allies. A nd like all those beautifully twisted Gem inis who are too sm art for their own good, you’re half-lost in a labyrinth you designed yourself. In other words, you are currently as unlike an Aries as it’s possible for an Aries to be. My advice? I say go w ith the over flow, baby. Im agine everything you never thought you could be — then be it w ith fiery intensity. In fact, why not make that the inspiration for your Halloween costume?

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-M ay 20): In m y long career, I’ve channeled a wide variety o f spirits neglected by other psychics. W hen I ran for Santa Cruz C ity Council, I served as m edi um for T hom as Jefferson. W hile working at a lesbian th in k tank, I did G ertrude Stein. I’ve also provided astral links for Barbie the doll, a pig named Porker and a very special rock I call Fifi at Pt. Reyes N ational Seashore. T his week, Taurus, I break new ground, as I channel your inner teenager. H ere’s the message: I w a n t nonstop h o t sloppy love now ! (P.S. Halloween costum e suggestion: your inner teenager, o f course.)

GEMINI

(M ay 21-June 20): For 49 consecutive weeks I’ve treated you w ith the deferential kindness you deserve. But now the streak m ust end. As you threaten to break your promises to yourself, I’m afraid I’ve been forced to resort to som e rough stuff. Stop reading now if you’re too sensitive to hear the tru th . “Hey, saboteur, w hat were you thinking when you started flirting w ith self betrayal?” G et your nervy self-respect back on line — and ditch the m artyr act — before I give you a psychic spanking. Halloween costum e sugges tion: you and your evil tw in as Siamese twins.

AQUARIUS n 20 CANCER (June 21-July 22):

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A

H ere’s how Santa Fe artist Erica W anenm acher describes her creative process. First comes the inform ation gathering phase. She works from itchy intuition, trying to be sensitive b u t not obsessive. It’s uncom fortable.^ She feels lost and em pty and irritated. G radually she picks up speed and ideas start to coalesce. She sets herself a deadline. For days or even weeks, she goes about the drudgew ork of collecting raw materials. Finally, out o f nowhere, inspiration crackles. It’s like the m om ent a tornado touches down on the ground. Flurries o f synchronicities snap around her. She’s a cosm ic energy vortex. She can’t fath om why cars don’t swerve off the road near her house and end up in a pile in the yard. I offer you this descrip tion, Cancerian, because you’re in the m idst o f a similar unfolding. H allo ween costum e idea: a pregnant artist.

19th-century French Virgo nam ed Ferdinand Flocon worked for years at a task which symbolizes all that is horrible and marvelous about your sign’s potential. In the hope o f infus ing bureaucratic necessity w ith lyrical grace, he rendered the entire civil code o f his country, consisting o f . alm ost 23,000 sections, into an epic poem . I won’t try to stop you — in fact I may even encourage you — if you attem pt a briefer version o f this weird miracle in the com ing days, Virgo. But please don’t sign up to be obsessed for any m ore than three weeks’ duty. Halloween costum e sug gestion: M ake yourself into a giant medical textbook whose cover is dec orated w ith a print o f a Matisse painting.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): I’d like to title this chapter in your life story, “R um bling in the Abyss.” Before you start cursing m e for trying to freak you out, let m e rem ind you th at in Brezsny’s U nabridged O xym oronic Dictionary, the “abyss” is n o t only where your deepest, darkest secrets dwell, b u t also your richest, brightest secrets. To prepare for your descent, m ake sure you pack a lunch — hell, better m ake th at about 18 to 20 lunches — as well as a helm et w ith a high-beam flashlight attached. Also, don’t forget to take cookies to feed the monsters. R em em ber that they’re as scared o f you as you are o f them . Besides, som e o f them m ay be quite interesting and helpful. Halloween costum e suggestions: deep-sea diver, coal miner, a mole, Sigm und Freud, the underw orld deities Pluto or Persephone.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): I exhort you to draw inspiration from the Avon ladies who have penetrated the Am azon jungle, Libra. Inflamed w ith faith in the value o f their prod ucts, they paddle their canoes down piranha-infested tributaries in 100degree heat in order to hawk lipstick and eyeshadow to wom en w ho have previously been deprived o f m odern cosmetics. I pray th at in the com ing weeks you will sum m on an equal pas sion for prom oting the beautiful things you believe in. Halloween cos tum e suggestion: Avon lady in the Amazon.

SCORPIO

(O ct. 23-Nov. 21): Behind the bridge o f the hum an nose is a tiny lode o f iron that poten tially gives us a compass-like power to know where m agnetic north lies. Som e mystics harness their pineal glands to provide the spiritual equiva lent o f this innate sense o f direction. T hey practice a kind o f m editation that transm utes the gland’s physical com position in ways that allow them

to com m une quite tangibly w ith the living God. Let these suggestive possi bilities inspire you, Scorpio. T hey’re my way o f telling you that you now have vivid access to a sixth sense which is for all intents and purposes a hom ing device. W ant to know exactly where you belong? M ake a break for the prom ised land. Halloween cos tum e suggestions: your birthday suit or the finery you’d wear to your coro nation.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-D ec. 21): All the other signs are m ore susceptible to debilitating fear than you Sagittarians. I’m not saying you’re never nervous and scared; o f course you are. But your hefty reserves o f raw courage alm ost always prevent angst from taking over your life. So then w hat the hell has been going on lately? I’ve never seen so m any Sagittarian worry-warts! It’s true that there are a few m ore good reasons than usual to entertain stress ful fantasies, b u t they sim ply don’t justify such elevated levels o f torm ent. I’m sure this’ll be a tem porary aberra tion. In the m eantim e, you m ight as well enjoy the eerie, spine-tickling rush o f high strangeness. Halloween costum e ideas: a shrieking paranoid, nervous hypochondriac, or a boy or girl in a bubble.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): It’s one o f those rare m o m ents when w hat feels w onderful is in mischievous alignm ent w ith w hat’s really good for you; w hen the selfish thing to do just happens to be w h at’s best for all concerned. H ard to believe, I know, b u t true. Given the huge piles o f guilt you’ll incinerate as a result, you’ll no do u b t squelch the tyrannical m eddling o f th at voice in your head th a t’s always telling you w hat you sho u ld be doing instead o f w hat you’re doing. Halloween cos tum e suggestions: fairy godm other

Feb. 18): Seems you’re still pushing to learn all you can from hanging around places you w ouldn’t have been caught dead in a few m onths ago. I’m guessing that your experim ents have been so breathtakingly educational th at you’d rather not wrap them up yet. T h a t’s fine. N o rush. Take your tim e. We here at T he G rind will wel com e you back anytim e you’re ready. W e com pletely understand if you w ant to stay out there on a lim b until you’re sure you w on’t be tem pted to do an im itation o f a butterfly trying to revert to a caterpillar. Halloween costum e suggestion: a gorgeous m onarch or w hite adm iral em erging from a cocoon.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): M odern culture has reduced m any o f the ancient holidays to soulless carica tures. Fortunately, pagans keep the original intentions alive. As a prim e example, they regard the Halloween season as a tim e w hen the veil is thinnest between this w orld and the next. For them , it’s not an occasion for creepy fear, b u t for eager excite m ent at the possibility o f com m uning m ore intim ately w ith the spirits o f beloved dead people. I strongly urge you to adopt this approach, Pisces. T h e ancestors have a message for you th at could inspire all your w ork in the com ing 12 m onths. Halloween costum e idea: Be a friend or loved one or hero w ho has died. ®

Dear Lola, The guy I’m going cut with is constantly telling me that other men are attracted to me. I sup pose I ought to be flat tered, but frankly, these comments creep me out. What am I supposed to do with them? Sometimes I think he gets off on the idea that other guys are interested, and other times I feel like he might be trying to steer me in their direction to get me off his hands. I’ve told him I don’t want to hear it, but he just laughs and says that I should take it as a compliment. What do you think? Wondering in Willistcn Dear Wondering, Jour man’s loose tongue is a product of his low self-esteem. There’s nothing that bol sters the old ego better than the notion that one’s partner is a hot commodity. Next time he starts up on this, tell him you’re flattered, but that you’d rather not hear it because you’re afraid knowing someone else is interested might make you more interest ed in them. That ought to put an end to it. Love,
