MILK LOBBY Why does your Middlebury correspondent find it necessary to insult the hard-working dairy farmers of Vermont (Ron Powers, Weekly Mail, October 29)? In his latest stab at salvaging his fastdwindling reputation, he uses the word "cowed" in a very derogatory manner, providing, we believe, a key insight into his anti-farming psyche. Yes, cows chew cud and they poop a lot, and yes, we all know by now how our smooth-handed patrician pal feels about those types of natural processes. While cows may lack the "talent" to churn out overwrought prose, they do produce a valuable commodity, i.e., milk. This tasty suckle juice is our states most important beverage and should not be slandered lightly. What's next? Will he drag maple syrup into the gutter, or advocate the demolition of our covered bridges? Trust us, after a long day spent trying to turn phrases as if they were Bonanza buses caught in hairpin curves in the Great Smokies, nothing goes down better than a cool glass of bovine teat squeezings accompanied by a cookie or two. Charles Kuralt, may God rest his soul, loved a good glass of milk. If your Middlebury epicure had any respect for this man, he would issue a prompt apology to Vermont's dairy farmers and join us for a round of 2-percent and a fistful of Lorna Doones. We look forward to his response and the opportunity to write another letter to the editor. — Louie Manno Jim Condon Burlington (Manno and Condon comprise the morning team on WKDR 1390-AM.)

PUMPKINILATION? Your recent Halloween issue once again exemplified the journalistic excellence for which your paper is renowned. However, I feel that you and others in the media have neglected to report on an event with potentially profound implications. Being new to Vermont, I think that I have picked up on a natural phenomenon that natives have overlooked. It seems that a certain percentage of the pumpkins in the area spontaneously explode at the end of October. Their immolation seems to be timed precisely to the 30th and 31st of the month. You can see shards of their flesh on the sides of highways, in alleyways and on the sidewalks. A superficial analysis has shown that the most susceptible pumpkins are subjects that have been hollowed out and carved, although the intact squash is also at risk. By measuring the weight of the shards and the distance of their scatter, I have calculated an average yield of 31.6 megajoules of energy per 10 kilogram pumpkin. I propose that public funds be allocated for the study of this phenomenon to insure public safety. I shudder to imagine the carnage that would ensue if a whole field of these deadly time bombs went of?" at once. Calculations based on the above data suggest a holocaust. A small nucleation event (e.g., an acorn or butternut discharge) could initiate a chain reaction similar to that at the core of a thermonuclear device. — Donald Slish Burlington

LOVING LUHRS I want to thank Peggy Luhrs (the former director of the Burlington Women's Council). I have known Peggy for many years. During that time Peggy has been a constant voice, and activist for women's lights. Some people may say "tactics" used in the '70s are no longer necessary, but I know that I live a much more comfortable life because Peggy has always pushed the edge of the circle so that there is more tolerance, respect and acceptance within. Thanks, Peggy. — Nari E. Penson Winooski

Letters Policy: SEVEN DAYS wants your rants andraves,in 250 words

MOOSE RIGHTS Precisely! Hunter George Lund says it all: "Gee, why'd I shoot that fine animal?" {Seven Days, "Of Moose and Men," October 29). We are no longer a hunter/gatherer society, long gone from it, in fact. We are a mercantile one. And, unfortunately, the infrastructure and its consumer and profiteering aims (rather than ethical, aesthetic, etc. ones) determine the context of most issues. The moose (and other wild animals) have a right to their lives, tourist attraction or no. If a price could be put on the very air we breathe, it would be (and there is a negative price in pollution). — Bruce Ross Burlington

Thinking about buying a home? Here's how VHFA can help you. We are here to help Vermonters with household incomes of $20,000-$40,000 buy their own homes. Our programs make mortgage money available through local banks, mortgage companies and credit unions, to bring homeownership within reach. At VHFA we'll tell you about mortgage options with our current 7 . 2 0 % interest rate ( 7 . 4 7 % A . P . R . ) , figure out what you can afford to buy and help you get started.

Dear Cecil, Recently on yourAmerka Online site youfosted your old column about Rock n Rollen Stewart, the guy who used to hold up those *'John 3:16" signs at sports events. You may be interested to know that Stewart is now serving a sentence in jail ',„ — Name withheld via AOL Yipes. I lost track of Rollen after talking to him in 1987. At the time he struck me, and I'd say most people, as a harmless if obsessed flake. Shows how wrong you can be. A few years later Stewart went completely off his nut, staged a series of bombings, and wound up in prison after a bizarre kidnapping stunt. The whole story is told in The Rainbow Man/John 3:16, a new documentary by San Francisco filmmaker Sam Green. If you doubt that too much TV is badfor you, you wont after seeing this flick. Stewarts problems started during his childhood in Spokane, Washington. His parents were alcoholics. His father died when Rollen was seven. His mother was killed in a house fire when he was 15. That same year his sister was strangled by her boyfriend. A shy kid, Rollen got into drag racing in high school, married his first love and opened a speed shop. But his wife soon left him. Crushed, he sold the shop and moved to a mountain ranch where he became a marijuana farmer, tried to grow the worlds longest mustache, and watdied a lot ofTV In 1976, looking for a way to make his mark, Rollen conceived the idea of becoming famous by constantly popping up in the background of televised sporting events. Wearing a multicolored Afro wig (hence the nickname "Rainbow Man"), he'd carry a battery-powered TV to keep track of the cameras, wait for his moment, then jump into the frame, grinning and giving the thumbs-up. Rollen figured into a few lucrative TV gigs and retire rich. But except for one Budweiser commercial, it didn't happen. Feeling depressed after the 1980 Super Bowl, he began watching a preacher on the TV in his hotel room and found Jesus. He began showing up at TV events wearing T-shirts emblazoned with "Jesus Saves" and various Bible citations, most frequently John 3:16 ("For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son," etc). Later accompanied by his wife, a fellow Christian he married in the mid-'80s, he spent all his time traveling to sports events around the country, lived in his car, and subsisted on savings and donations. He guesses he was seen at more than a thousand events all told. v This brings us to the late '80s. By now Rollen had gotten his 15 minutes of fame and was the target of increasing harassment by TV and stadium officials. His wife left him, saying he had choked her because she held up a sign in the wrong location. His car was totaled by a drunk driver, his money ran out, and he wound up homeless in L.A. Increasingly convinced that the end was near, Rollen decided to ** it i - ^ J J J m e d i a d a m ^ m m ^ i k o f f a aifi < N , a Christian bookstore, a newspaper o!

a seven-day stretch of indie options at the Savoy Theater that starts Friday night. "We definitely wanted to do something outside of Burlington," says organizer Cindy Leung. "And by virtue of its existence, the Savoy proves there is a market here for independent film." The lineup, which is on the lighter side of social justice, includes animation, rock 'n roll comedy and flicks for kids. "We were looking for a balance of documentary and escapism," Leung says. Which means nuclear weapons and ladies for labor coexist with phone sex and grunge. And a zenlike exploration of the daily rituals of two potters shares an evening with a short about a young Chinese-Canadian girl obsessed with the shape of her forehead. The Asian American International Film Festival is better represented here than is Vermont. Although Leung had every intention of hosting the local premiere of Wedding Band — until director Martin Guigui realized it would spoil his shot at the Sundance Film Festival. Local filmmakers Jay Craven, Nora Jacobson and Keith Spiegel are similarly bound for making the deadline. "Its like applying to college," says Spiegel, who worked a cameo by "Brady Bunch" mom Florence Henderson into the final cut of Groupies. And the connections keep on coming. When he was still in high school, Hollywood-raised Spiegel organized a film festival for young moviemakers.

y approach to pet feeding has always been to buy a 40-pound sack of dry dog food and shovel a few scoops of the stuff into my dog's bowl each day. Period. Aside from changing from puppy food to adult food, I've never given much thought to what goes into my dog's food or what she gets out of it. After all, she's always been strong, handsome and healthy. Apparently, according to Stephanie Otto, president and founder of Dillons All Natural Biscuits, I'm not alone. "Lots of people in Vermont have a farm-animal mentality when it comes to their pets," Otto offers as an explanation for why her high-priced dog biscuits baked in Waitsfield don't sell well in Vermont. Talking with Otto and others who take pet nutrition seriously made me start to wonder what does go into pet food. Answers, I soon found, were not easy to come by. I was quickly confronted with a huge variety of choices, costs and philosophies about pet nutrition. Every year Americans

spend $9.3 billion on feeding their animals, according to the Morris Animal Foundation — a quick walk down the pet aisle at any supermarket shows how many ways that money can be spent. Ever since the first commercial pet food was manufactured in 1860, pet food companies have been coming up with more and more options for doggie din-din. Initially, pet foods were manufactured primarily as a byproduct of the human food

industry. In the 1920s canned pet foods dominated the market and were made primarily of offal left over from meat processing plants, along with ground horse meat. But as it became impractical and expensive to ship heavy cans of wet pet food, manufacturers developed a dry "kibble-style" food based on corn, soy or rice, and in 1957 Dog Chow was born. Today, this type of pet food still dominates the market, but with numerous styles, grades and

ond-year veterinary student I know defends their value: "The cat eats the whole mouse, doesn't it?" she poses. "That's because the cats needs all the minerals and vitamins from the bones and guts." Nearly everyone agrees, in any case, that the best protein source for pets is meat, not plants. "You never hear about the wolves raiding the farmer's grain silo, do you?" asks Seaman. The problem is that there's no real way to determine the source of the meat, whether in meal or by-products. Much of the meat used in pet foods is "left-overs" of our own meat industry, which may mean it was deemed unfit for human consumption. Concerned pet owners have basically two choices: Either purchase one of a growing number of high-quality pet foods that make claims about the purity of their ingredients, or try home-cooking food for their pets. Stephanie Otto, a vegan who home-cooks meals for her four dogs, once tried vegetarian diets for her canines but found that their health suffered. She now feeds them a mixture of organic beef with vegetables and grains. Home-cooking is time-consuming and expensive, Otto admits, but worth it, to avoid what she calls the "antibiotics, abcesses and other really gross stuff" is how in commerto reccial pet ognize food. quality In addiingredition to the ents even protein from if we do meat or its byread labels.

"There's a huge range in terms of quality of pet foods available, and basically it all boils down to the quality of ingredients," says John Seaman, the assistant manager at Pet Food Warehouse.

ON THE LAUNCH PAD It's finally done: Justin Wygmans, co-owner of Club Toast, has been working on his recording studio since early July — renovating a 1780 house in Jericho. This weekend he laid down tracks for Non Compos Mentis in the 20 x 30-foot space he calls Rock It Science — including 16 analog and 16 digital tracks, linked, three isolation rooms and a separate control room. Its a livesounding room, Wygmans says, and spacious enough to handle "a lot of things at the same time." What with helping to run the club, he doesn't anticipate Rock It as a full-time venture — yet. But the good part is, low expenses and almost no overhead except the equipment — mom and dad's house is literally attached. Wygmans plans to pass that good deal on to musicians. "I always thought of myself as someone who can listen to bands and help them pull out their strengths," he says. "I'm not saying I can do any better than anyone else around here, but I want to strive to do better, and give people the best possible quality for the least expense." Blast off. BLUER PASTURES Way down yonder in the land of, well, bluegrass, Breakaway did themselves — and Burlington — proud. Playing several showcases at the annual International Bluegrass Music Association Trade Show, the band won kudos from industry bigwigs, label types, other performers, festival promoters,

deejays and the press, reports fiddler Gene White. One of the latter was Dave Royko (son of the legendary Chicago syndicated columnist Mike Royko), who writes for Bluegrass Unlimited magazine and has given our boys good ink in the past. Breakaway came home with several festival gigs all over the country, and an upcoming interview in another genre mag, Bluegrass Now. On top of all that, everyone loved the band's poster — created by White's fiancee, Burlington designer Rose Lucas — which they subversively plastered all over the hotel. By the way, Breakaway took down a few cases of Magic Hat, which was also well-received. Now that's marketing...

HOLIDAY 'MAGIC' Speaking of Magic Hat, not only does the new facility have a grand opening this weekend, but the homegrown brewery, which has supported the arts as well as beer bellies since its inception, announces the release of its first noel, a CD called Feast of Fools. Nope, it's not a compilation of celebrities burping (though that hasn't been done yet as far as we know); it is a sleighful of local bands performing holiday songs, and the whole deal, recorded mostly by Joe Egan and supported by Together Networks, will benefit the Burlington Music Conference. The chorus of, um, angels? Gordon Stone Trio, ViperHouse, Tammy Fletcher, Burlington Taiko (wonder what carol they're performing — "Little Drummer Boy?"), Motel Brown, Saudade, Seth Yacovone, Sandra Wright Continued on page 10iu : /-Kr.-O

sette/CD) — First of all, I'd like to know what this name means. Is it anything like hopping mad? When a situation is really getting ugly, is it jumping ugly? Etymology is less important with a band than other stuff, though, like can they play, sing, write decent songs and put on a good show? The answers in Jumping Ugly's case are yes, yes, pretty much and I dunno, never seen 'em. I'm guessing this quartet has been holed away in somebody's basement/bedroom/garage for a couple of years emerging only for day jobs - and practicing their asses off. And/or gigging somewhere that isn't near Burlington. The playing on Seven (nice number, that) is tight, tidy and, for the most part, economical, and shifts without warning from the sort of a dirgy pomp and circumstance to a low, churning gear that both now permeate the alt airwaves.

Giant pet food companies continue to spend millions on research and development to improve digestibility, quality and palatability. Meanwhile, I'm still not sure what really matters to my dog. Last week, feeling a twinge of guilt for all the years of unceremoniously dumping some middle-rate pellets in her dish, I decided to try some of the latest in top-quality specialty dog food. She devoured it — and puked it up 15 minutes later. Maybe it's just too good for her. (Z)

y basement was a cathouse. For cats. It seemed like every randy feline in the neighborhood at one time or another had skulked through one of the holes in the infirm foundation of my house, looking for action. They'd wake me up during the dark, early morning hours of winter with their yowling and moaning. It's a creepy sound, cats coupling, like the wailing of two possessed babies. We plugged up every access to the basement. But now they just rendezvous in the leafy sanctum underneath the front porch. Every time I see a cat dash out, I wonder how many illegitimate kittens have been spawned. Cats are virile. They're incorrigibly promiscuous. They're like, well, rabbits. Let them have their way with each other and seven generations of cats may produce up to 4000 kittens. "They're both very quick breeders," says Connie Howard, executive director of

tion. Every humane society stresses the importance of fixing one's pets, but obviously animals don't end up in half-way houses simply because they breed too much under the neighbor's house. "The issue of pet sterilization is just a small part of the reality," Howard explains. "America is a throw-away society. When the owner runs into problems or loses interest, they just give the pet up. People need to realize that buying or adopting a pet means taking on a huge responsibility. Possibly a 10-to-14-year responsibility." In the history of every animal that ends up at the Humane Society, there was an owner that either could not, or would not, take responsibility for its care. Working too much. Moving. Not enough time. Landlord won't allow. These are common answers to the first question on a relinquished animal's personality profile: "Why • t can you no longer keep this pet?

<• eorge Thorsen is I the dog catcher J in Enosburg, but he prefers the title of Animal Control Person, he says. A retiree, Thorsen asks only that the selectmen reimburse; him for the services he provides in and around town; up strays and having them boarded, and investigating reports of animal abuse or neglect. Though he's only served as an "animal control person" for a few years, Thorsens been in the animal business for about three decades. Dogs and cats were his business, literally — he used to sell about a thousand of them a year to laboratories for research purposes. "I originally got my start back in the 1960s importing primates from overseas," says Thorsen. "Rhesus monkeys. Green monkeys. You know, monkey business." As time passed, government restrictions on the importation of labbound animals from places like India became tighter, and by the late '70s Thorsen had become an exclusive supplier of cats and dogs. A self-described "misfit," Thorsen speaks candidly, if not enthusiastically, about his life's work. Despite the moral objections of animal rights types, he is unapologetic. Forget for a minute that living things, maybe former pets, were his stock-in-trade and the story of an American entrepreneur emerges: a small grassroots business financed with only a few savings bonds, nurtured and expanded to nationwide status. "I moved up to Enosburg from Massachusetts around 1978 because I was making too many runs to

Canada," says Thorsen. "That's where the majority of our animals came from." A manifest was required at the border to document the shipment, and the animals were inspected by border officials or at the USDA station to assure that they were healthy. O n occasion Thorsen would accept animals from local people, after they had signed a contract guaranteeing that they were indeed its owner. But in Vermont it is illegal to procure animals from Humane Societies for the purpose of scientific The cats and dogs Thorsen imported from Canada had been "When my mother s u f f e r e d an a n e u r i s m , t h e doctor that cared for her knew me, b e c a u s e he had u s e d one o f my monk e y s t o d e v e l o p a new medi c i n e . " - George T h o r s e n picked up by animal control people in the Montreal area. If they were not adopted or sold to lab suppliers, then they were euthanised. "I don't think the guys up there wanted to have it on their conscience," Thorsen speculates. "They didn't want to have to put all those animals to sleep, so they sold them to me, maybe hoping that they could do more good that way, living instead of dead, not going to waste." Thorsen in turn sold them to research facilities across the country, like Harvard, MIT and labs sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. Toward the $ncl of his business career, he could expect to make from $ 150 to $300 per animal. "Our system of animal care was very labor-intensive," he says. "Every animal received three vaccinations right away. They were kept in individual cages, not in groups. The cages had to meet USDA standards, and they were cleaned every day."

In the same way that criminals are reduced to numbers once they are incarcerated, so do research animals lose their classification as pets, and

be valuable for sale. "Once an animal entered our facility it was redefined as a research tool," says Thorsen. Eventually public opinion and the protestations of anti-vivisectionists began to sway policy, and USDA regulations were stepped up, requiring that every animal used for scientific research come with firm documentation of its original owner. "This put the little guy out of business," says Thorsen, who had no way of discovering the origins of his strays. He's quick to point out the necessity of animal research for medical development, a direct relationship in his experience: "When my mother suffered an aneurism, the doctor that cared for her knew me, because he had used one of my monkeys to develop a new medicine." It is difficult for many people to view animal research in such simple terms of cause and effect, but Thorsen, who once loaned his own cat to a lab on the condition that she be safely returned, has justified his career to himself. "People want the benefits of medical research, but they don't want to think about how they were attained," he says. His conscience is clear; the animals were well cared for while in his possession. Now, as an animal control person, Thorsen finds himself much closer to the lives of actual pets. "Its awful to see the way some people treat their animals," he says. "They'll lie to you and maybe have their dog sent off to the pound just to get out of paying the fine for not having it tagged." Despite his lifelong involvement in the fate of domestic animals, Thorsen seems surprised at his current role: "1 just can't believe," he says, "that I'm the dog catcher." ®

any years ago on a freakishly warm night in late autumn, my dog Peri turned up missing. At first I was calm. Peri had always been a bit casual about coming when called. Now she was getting old and inclined to creep under out-of-the-way places to sleep. But when she didn't turn up after a search of the house, I

the risk. But when the repairman left we forgot to send him back into her place to turn the heat down. Which would make her more mad: wasting her money or illegal entry? My husband decided that if he could turn down the thermostat and rip the note off the door before she got home, she would never have to know about any of it and that would be best of all. I could understand how my husband, focused on sneaking, might have forgotten about Peri. And how, left on her own, Peri might have taken the opportunity to wander off. But our house is close to a busy road, and for that reason we

Correction: when he had sneaked next door. We had recently taken on someone new in the little apartment attached to our house and it was not working out. In fact, things had gotten so bad that she had sent us a letter saying we were not to set foot in her place without 24 hours notice, or else. She was convinced we went in there and moved things around. That morning the furnace

mous animals as prize possessions. But some more sentimental fools — like Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, who went Trigger-happy — prefer to preserve and display their family pet. If it sounds inhumane, you might be surprised to know that the latest posthumous process in stuffing animals — domestic or wild — is freezedrying, which gradually pulls fluids out of the body cavity in a five-below vacuum. In fact, the technique could even be used on humans. One local taxidermist, who asked that his name not be used, claims that none of his colleagues in Vermont will stuff, or freeze-dry, a pet, but they all get requests. "To put it simply, this is a happy business. I like it that way. I don't want to turn into a morgue," he explains. "I'll do un-emotional pets, like iguanas or baby alligators. Fortunately or not, most people still like to give their pets a decent burial."

But these virtual corpses have one real problem. "They're very susceptible to bug damage," Huffman cautions. "We advise people to take them to a taxidermist every few years to re-spray them with a bug-proofing chemical. Pesticides do break down, but they are safe for human contact." It's no wonder the vast majority of taxidermists don't accept pet projects. Larry Bloomquist, the editor of the industry trade magazine Break Through, says that in addition to being emotional, freeze drying is impractical. The price of diversification — approximately $30,000 per machine — outweighs the demand and cuts into more lucrative troutmounting time. Then there's the risk of unexpected inventory.

I've always had a dog in my life — the family dog moved under my bassinet when I came home from the hospital — but Peri was the first dog whose vet bills I paid myself. And, like all first loves, it was immoderate. She was about four years old when I met my future husband and moved to Vermont. I would not have made such a move without her approval, for

I had never had any reason to climb the fence at the back of our yard and wander into other yards. There was far more space back here than I had ever realized. Our house and barn, never seen from this angle, loomed unfamiliarly. It was as if by merely climbing over a fence, I had entered a foreign country. All lights were out; everyone was sleeping. The warm wind ratded the few leaves still clinging to branches-

ven a 30-year-old might have felt superannuated after happening upon the anti-McDonald's protest near Church Street last month. The average age of the two dozen or so demonstrators couldn't have been much more than 20. Such a preponderance of college and high school students is fairly typical of animal rights actions, according to local leaders of the movement. Older adults also take part, of course, but there's something about McDonald's' boast of having served billions of burgers that especially seems to irk Americans born after 1975. Vegetarianism may be more widespread in that generation than among either Boomers or X'ers. And the decision not to eat meat or fish often represents the first step toward involvement in the animal rights movement. That's the way it was for Maggie Cohen, a University of Vermont sophomore. "When I became a vegetarian in high school, it mostly had to do with health reasons," says Cohen, a leader of UVM's Students Organized for Animal

Rights (SOAR). "But then I began to learn about how much animals suffer from factoryfarming practices. Learning things like that has a big influence on a lot of young people because they're not as stuck in their ways as some older people." Amanda Hood, a 15-yearold student at Essex High School, also attributes her activism to knowledge she acquired after becoming a vegetarian. "I learned about cosmetics testing on animals and also how they're sometimes treated in circuses and zoos," she explains. Now Amanda strives

to pass this awareness on to others through her work with Green Mountain Animal Defenders. She'll be taking part in an anti-fur protest that the advocacy group plans to hold on November 22 outside the ' Garment Vault on Shelburne Road. "Young people today have more access to information than when I was a kid," notes Sharon MacNair, 43, an organizer of the Defenders. She points to intensive media coverage of international concerns such as "mad cow disease" and

local issues such as the Highgate egg farm. Celebrities' identification with animal rights also partly accounts for the popularity of the cause among teens, MacNair suggests. For example, Princess Dianas heavily publicized refusal to wear fur had an impact on many of her most impressionable admirers, while young hunk Jonathan Taylor Thomas may have persuaded thousands of pubescent girls to join him in the animal rights crusade. In addition, "kids today tend to question the status quo

children and people living in squalor in inner cities, and they ask, 'Why don't you care about that?'" -Maggie Cohen much more than did people my age," MacNair observes. That view is shared by Rebecca Schavrien, another SOAR member, who says, "I was raised differently than my parents were." Her Westchester County (New York) home "wasn't a dictatorship," Schavrien recalls. "My parents weren't into animal rights, but they did encourage me to think for myself and to act on what I believe in." Environmental conditions are worse today than 30 years ago, she adds. Awareness of this degradation, along with fear of what may happen to the planet in the next 30 years, act as further catalysts for young people's concern about animal rights and related issues, Schavrien says. Childhood pets serve as another common inspiration for activism of this sort. Amanda Hood was traumaContinued

tized at age nine when she learned that the Humane Society had destroyed two cats that her family had placed there. "It made me think why that had to happen," she says. "I don't agree with killing animals." It was Thanksgiving 1967 when MacNair, then 13, decided to become a vegetarian. "The reason was the connection I made between the turkey that was going to be our dinner and my pet duck, Daisy." Befiiddlement and/or ridicule on the part of their peers is another experience shared by many young animal rights campaigners. Amanda, for instance, no longer mentions her activism to friends. "Last year, a lot of them didn't want to be around me because they thought I was weird for being so involved. Some of them still think I'm weird, but its not because I try to tell them about animal rights." A number of UVM students "think the issue isn't important," says Maggie Cohen. "Others think we're crazy." A typical reaction, Cohen reports, is for a critic to ask why she doesn't devote her efforts to people rather than ; to.animals. "They talk »bam* baWetedwt>men ratfd <eftildfert -ioj i'-V"-

yl/K; JOfttfUioa

and people living in squalor.. in inner cities, and they ask, 'Why don't you care about that?'" •• v l ~ Those framing the question in such a way are themselves often uninvolved in any cause devoted to helping people, notes MacNair. Most animal rights activists do care about human rights as well, she says. "If someone's compassionate and concerned about animals, that tends to percolate into other areas of life," adds MacNair, a foster mother. Amanda Hood's efforts to change the world also aren't focused exclusively on the animal kingdom. She works with a so-far unnamed group dedicated to combating racism in the Burlington area. Cohen is unapologetic about her leadership role in SOAR. "This is my passion, and I work hard on it," she says. "If everyone spent just a litde time working on a cause we'd all be better off." She cites the case of antiabortion campaigners, "even though I don't share their views." The commitment of such activists wins her respect, Cohen says, "because at least they're out there standing up for what they believe in. That's what I'm doing, and I hope others will respect me for that as well." ®

ARICS (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): This j would be a pretty good week to rise at j 4 a.m. to confess your sins and say prayers for two hours before beginning a volunteer job cleaning up trash from i the side of a highway and then showing up to nelp out at a homeless kitehea for a while before heading j | oyer ytork whe«;e you put in 10 ! | hours not only doing your own job with 110 percent conscientiousness but also trying to compensate for your fellow employees' mistakes and laziness. And it would be an absolutely fantastic week if you did all the above and then came home at night to enjoy j scintillating sex with a soul-nu -nurturing wild thing. TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Our teaching staff here at Real Astrology, Inc. (many of whom are graduates of "Sesame Street") asked me to tell you that this week is brought to you by the letter T and the number 2. Here are a few of the most important "T" words for you to master: togetherness, tantalize, telepathic, tickle, trust, tasty, tapestry, tenderness, turbocharge, teamwork. And to improve your skill in applying the meanings of the number 2, we suggest that you meditate on balance, interdependence and collaboration.

GCMINI

(May 21-June 20): [Warning: I do not personally endorse any of the taunts I am about to hurl at you. Designed by my insult consultant Ann Salyer, they re offered with comic love, in the hope that they will innoculate you against the truly mean things that some of the people in your life might fling at you in the week ahead.] "You grotesque vat of grisly buffalo chips.

Songs and poems and oracles pour out of me as if I'm mainlining muse juice. I can dance till dawn without the boost of a single cup of coffee. I have an unfailing sense of how to get and give far more than the usual amounts of love. To what do I attribute these blessings? Well, one explanation is astrological. I believe that most Cancerians, myself included, are subject to maximum eruptions of the sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll vibe at this time of year. So whatcha waiting for, my fellow Crabs? Get out there and be like me. L£0 (July 23-Auj*. 22): Location location location: Its important in real estate, and it's crucial in your life this week. Being in the right place at the right time should be your obsession, your magical goal. Likewise, you should try to arrange for every showdown and negotiation to transpire on your home turf. Finally, make sure you're always where youve said you'll be, and try to build credibility for your positions by surrounding yourself with heavyweights.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Its National Chemistry Week for you Libras. Or at least I wish it were. Then maybe you'd agree to tone down the prodigious output of your superbrain just a little so tnat your poor neglected gut could have its say. And that would be in righteous alignment with the mood of the astrological forces coming to bear on you right now. How about it, wise guy/gal? Would you be willing to seek out connections based on raw chemistry, not on contrived duty or strategic value? Would you consider the possibility that for a brief time the visceral will be preferable to the intellectual? I hope so. Here's your slogan for the week: "Death to the shoulds!"

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec/ 21): You will not be afraid of the dark this week. I repeat: You will not be afraid of yourself. Nor will you fear beady eyes that seem to be staring back at you from the mirror, or ninny little curses that fly out of your mouth at the most inopportune moments. You will especially not be intimidated by your own shadow, or your evil twin, or your tendency to keep doing the right thing so far beyond the time it's appropriate that it's no longer the right thing. Be brave, Sagittarius — braver than you've ever been in your life. Be so brave that you will stand up to yourself even when you scare yourself silly.

right now, you're also ignoring an obvious resource which would make you even more authoritative and competent. It's high time to end your artificial handicap.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are the difficult wizard, Capricorn — the bracing revelation whose tumult ushers in fresh, sweet order. You are the whirlwind that destroys those things that need to be destroyed, and the medicine that tests and tempers as it cures. You are the ringer of bells and the maker of myths, the catcher of falling stars and tne 01

PISCCS (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The notion that there's a liberal bias in the mass media arouses great merriment in me. I'm as lefty as they come, but the last time I saw an issue framed in a way that reflects my prejudices was, well, never. What I find instead is mostly grossly oversimplified ubergossip and nihilistic storytelling disguised as journalism. Coverage of the people I call heroes is so rare that the mention of one of them in Time magazine or the Washington Post sends me into seizures of joy. My hidden agenda in telling you all tnis, Pisces, is j to inspire you to rise up and do what I j just did: Reject the conventional wisdom that is most oppressive to your personal life, and home in on your own gleefully rebellious intuition | of the raw truth. 0 You.day canorcall Rob Brexsny, nlgnlfor your

- and the beautiful portrait — of Ziggy that we decided to create a special honorary category for him. Dawn Jones-Low submitted several photos from her graduate project investigating images of animals in our culture — and encouraging people "to see animals as cognitive beings worthy of respect" The results of "Paw Prints" provide evidence that lots of us do just that. "Seven years ago, I was working as a veterinary technician when I learned of a kitten that was in need of a home. He was one of numerous cats living in a derelict barn. A neighbor noticed that one kitten had difficulty walking...but already had several of his own pets and had no room for one more. He contacted the veterinary clinic to see if we could help find a permanent home. It was determined that the kitten had a congenital disorder that affected his neuromuscular function...! discussed it with my husband, Thorn, and we decided to adopt him. Ziggy was quickly assimilated into our household. He is an intelligent, joyful, loving member of our menagerie (two dogs, three other cats, a guinea pig and a horse) — all who had similar histories of abandonment and physical disabilities. Ziggy occasionally falls off the couch or bumps Into furniture, but he just picks himself up and forges ahead. Everyone who comes into our home becomes enamored of this remarkable cat...This photographic portrait is a brief encapsulation of Ziggy"s presence. I hope that this image will encourage people to look closer at all the animals that they encounter and see the rich depths of their souls." — Dawn Jones-low

Welcome to GMIFF 97. Six months ago we started thinking about putting together an independent film festival in Central Vermont. We were dipping our toes in the water — so to speak. In just a few very short months, we found ourselves fighting to stay afloat in a swiftly flowing river, trying to learn everything we could about the film industry and about organizing a film festival. T h e Montpelier community became our lifeboat. Many local businesses and residents came out to support our efforts, making it possible for us to bring over 35 independent films from all over the U.S. (and a few beyond) to Vermont filmgoers. T h e films in our program are made by independent filmmakers supported not by major movie moguls but by their passion and vision. Many of them stretched the limits of their credit cards, took out student loans and begged family and friends to raise enough money to make their films. Yet the results are often more introspective and interesting and always more personal than films made with millions of "studio" dollars. In many ways, T h e Green Mountain Independent Film Festival is a celebration of the magic created by the grassroots human spirit — so often found in Vermont.

Friday; November 7. 6:30pm and 8.45pm Screenings Neptune's Rocking Horse (1997) Directors: Rob Tate and Rob Roznowski Neptune's Rocking Horse, the film's namesake, are the lines of one's hand that signify the balance and harmony between an individual's masculine and feminine attributes. This film eagerly attempts to understand what happens when that balance and harmony are rocked, all the while igniting viewers' sedentary sense of themselves. Neptune's Rocking Horse begins with two New York City cops hauling an angry black transvestite out of an Upper West Side apartment. Having been witnessed by five very different bystanders, the incident becomes lodged in the memory of each, burrowing in the core of their identities. T h e question that begins to plague each witness is why this event haunts them so deeply. As the movie progresses, we see how each bystander is affected by the random incident. The five witnesses find their worst prejudices reflected back at themselves. What ensues is a raw exploration of bias and how it colors our perception of the world. W h o we thought we were can be dismantled so quickly that we are left wondering what it is we really believe in and why. The Philadelphia Inquirer calls Neptune's Rocking Horse "an involved psychological study of the urban mosiac. Sensitive, funny and unusually empathetic in understanding how the same event could strike such different responses. . ." ^Screened at: the 1997 Montreal World Film Festival, the Sidney (Australia) Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and the Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. (104 min)

- Q & A at T h e Savoy Theater with Director Rob Tate will follow both screenings. - Reception at Fiddleheads following second screening. Open to all Friday night ticketholders.

Saturday, November 8 Program 5 6:30pm Headhunted Sister (1997) Director: Scott Saunders Ray O'Brien is a headhunter, while his wife works for a phone sex shop in the Lower East Side. It's hard to tell whose job is sleazier. When Ray's unhappily-married sister visits, her facade of suburban respectability quickly crumbles. Ray always thought life was good, because he ' managed to avoid responsibilities. But as this refugee camp of waywards goes haywire, Ray is forced to become the adult anchor. The LA Weekly states, "The Headhunter s Sister is about commitment - to work, to family, to love, to life - without the word being mentioned. . . the result is a sharp exploration of all the things we tell ourselves to keep from looking over the edge." *Screened at: the LA. Independent Film Festival, the Seattle Int'l. Film Festival (Jury Prize) and the Long Island Film Festival (Audience Award). (96 min) - Shown with Ah, L'Amour by director Don Hertzfeld.

Tuesday, November 11 Program 10 6:30pm This is a video presentation. A Midwife's Tale (1996) Producer/Writer: Laurie Kahn-Leavitt; Director: Richard P. Rogers A Midwifes Tale (adapted from the Pulitzer Prize winning book) unfolds like a detective story — the true tale of two women, two hundred years apart, linked by the diary one of them left behind. Traditional accounts of the past leave out the lives of ordinary people, because they left so few written records behind -- especially the women. The film follows author Laurel Ulrich as she deciphers the cryptic diary of midwife Martha Ballard. We look through the eyes of Martha at both the daily and the shockingly dramatic events that shook her Maine frontier community in the late 1700s. The San Francisco Chronicle selected the film as one of the five "Best Bets" at the San Francisco Film Festival, where it won the prestigious Silver Spire Award.

With the end of the Cold War, the Pantax employees are left to dismantle the very same warheads they once crafted with such loving pride. The Hollywood Reporter calls The Plutonium Circus " . . . a three-ring nucleur nuthouse that fascinates as it frightens." *Screened at SXSW Film Festival (Best Documentary), San Francisco Film Festival; New York Underground Film Festival. (73 min) - Shown with Lily and Jim (1997) by Don Hertzfeld. An achingly pathetic blind date unfolds through 10,000 drawings. *Screened at the Chicago International Film Festival (Gold Plaque).

1. SEPARATED AT BIRTH

;

' -" ' " —

Since there was only one entry in this category, Mitch the Couch Queen, Taxi the CheeseHog and Jemery the "Thinks-he's-a-LapDog" Dog were winners paws down. Apparently not too many owners want to admit they look like their furry friends. "Not too much to tell, really. Being separated at birth has never been much of an issue between us, especially since we've been reunited. As you can see, it's been pretty easy for us to bond on the couch. A s a matter of fact, we're of one mind when it comes to expressing how we feel about separation: from birth, inevitable — from the couch, no way. Don't even try. We bite. And if that doesn't work, one of us has wicked gas..."

— Mitch Curren Montpelier

2.4iA!JTE~€REATUR&

We now know that people indulge their pets more than they indulge their children. Maybe it's because there's no danger of animals becoming insolent teenagers... "This is Muldoon in his custom-made taxi — a foam-lined hot rodder of a vehicle. I am the lowly chaffeur. Mostly he requests trips to the lake, Red Rocks Park, North Beach, etc. The only reason he is treated as such royalty is because he is the most awesome dog that ever lived. His massage therapist can back me up on that one."

— Lisa Parker Burlington chose the name Dashiell for this German Shepherd before he was born. I admired Dashiell Hammett and his work. I loved the sound and stature of the name. To my surprise and frequent chagrin, the name fits like nylons on a long-legged dame. Lighter than most Shepherds, Dashiell's white mane and salt & pepper coloring, resemble Mr. Hammett. If dogs can be hardboiled, this tough guy is 20 minutes. He's sharper and more inquisitive any Pinkerton. He can spot a suspicious human quicker than a crook can size up an easy mark. He won't tolerate sentimentality, just struts away when I try to hug him — off to the woods, sniffing out blood and guts.J'd take a slug for him..."

— Elisa Fitzgerald

5. PEW>EEVES

Lincoln

Lots of competition for the naughtiest — it was tough for us to deny LaMont the bassett hound with the linen fetish, or Big Dog the big eater of sundry household items. But toilet humor wins... "Fluffhead, six months old, forces his people to keep the toilet seat up in case he needs a drink. Everyone knows that toilet water is much better than anything provided by his owner..."

This is a popular category — feline fatties mpant in Vermont. \bbey (aka: chuba tuba, pumpkin head, pretty hey fatso and aber dabber doo) used to be only y bad about food. She would sit on you at 5 a.m. >urr loudly while grooming your eyebrows and hitfou on the nose with her paw. Then, we tried to er on a diet. Now at 5 when her bowl is empty, lowls and scratches at the walls, knocks over r glasses to get your attention, and opens the food et with her paws, making a thud, thud noise. If ouch her belly, she gets really mad and looks right u while she hisses."

— Lee Butler Burlington

6. -BEAUTY OF THE-BEAST-

— — —

The owner of Buddy, the Canine Svengali, let the picture speak for his handsomeness, but elected to tell us of his special talent: mind control. " L o o k deep into my eyes. You are getting drowsy. When you wake up, you will remember none of this. But every time I bark you will have the irresistible impulse to bring me a pepperoni pizza. Thick crust. Extra cheese. Don't question the urge. Just do it."

— Lori Valbum Jericho

7. UNLEASHED Entries were especially competitive in this free-for-all category, but "Shirley" proved to be the sleeper. "SFT (single female tabby), 5-6 YO, ISO open-minded adventurous tomcat. Must be bold, boisterous, into good hygiene and crave meow mix. I like long walks past the fish store and romantic outings to the dumpster. How about it? Those declawed need not apply."

— Heather A. Rivas Middlebury

"Body of Work"

Thursday. November 20 at 7:30 pm A major, nationally acclaimed dance c o m p a n y investigating the subject of labor, unions, and industry? You bet! Body of Work "rouses heart and brain," says The New York Times Dance Critic Deborah Jowitt, and "lays out the rock bottom equation: Work = money = power." This imaginative, seven-member Rhode tstand c o m p a n y brilliantly blends dance, text, music, and newsreel projections to look at downsized workers, uprooted industries, and b o o m and bust economies. A+ Arts Plus activities in conjunction with this performance include a Dance Theater Workshop. Call 652-4500 for details.

WAITING FOR JADOT L

ike millions of pets and

owners everywhere, Jessy BJ^IZ* Amblo and his bird, Jadot, resemasjCl ble each other — if not completely in CZ form, then at least in demeanor. What's surprising, though, is that this former ^^mm member of the Navy's special forces and his powerful bird of prey are, well, peaceful. ^ ^ But spend a little time with them «miii»nnn| and it's easier to understand the amiIkmm able synchronicity between these two ^ ^ free spirits based at the Tarry Ho Motel in Charlotte. f8*"^ Amblo, who grew up in the inn famous for its life-sized cement horse ""Tq still out front, is one of just a handful %s#sassm of falconers statewide. Jadot, by con^mm trast, •11 is a common red-tailed | • |hawk, ((T T )but HI still a most extraordinary bird. Hes really well-mannered," says Amblo, referring to the process of making wild birds comfortable with people. With keen eyes, sharp talons and a rounded beak designed for tearing flesh, the three-year-old bird lives inside Amblo's large red cabin, which g^T m doubles as a martial arts studio. Jadot is accustomed to human figures, smells and voices, and will come to rest on ^ Amblo's leather-gloved hand at the sound of his name or the blow of a whistle. "He's not a prisoner," asserts Amblo. "My birds like me. That's why they fly to me all the time." The ancient tradition called falconry dates back at least to the pharaohs of Egypt.

Amblo says while strolling with Jadot through an open pasture populated with rabbits and rodents. "It's not a cruel thing," he says of his role in the chase. "If the hawk is in the tree and the prey animal is on the ground, the hawk is going to catch it whether you're there or not." Amblo allows his birds to keep the game they kill, rather than trading it for beef as many other modern falconers do. "When they eat a prey animal, they eat the vegetation that their prey animal has ingested that day — that's how they get their carbohydrates," Amblo explains, as Jadot sits atop his hand "rousing" his rust-brown feathers contentedly.

they need a wide variety of food and they need prey." Satisfying Jadot's • ' appetite and instincts takes them afield almost daily. "These [red-tailed hawks] are like the battleship cruisers of birds of prey," the former seaman notes with admiration. "You can fly these guys in an ice storm." And, accompanied by a young black Labrador named Ryu, Amblo does. For hours on end in all kinds of conditions, the trio walks, lopes and flies over the eastern terminus of the Champlain Valley — a place Amblo refers to as "Hawk Central" because of the gaggles of birds and prey. On their outings, Jadot glides from tree to tree, stopping only to scan the sea of grass for unsuspecting targets of his dart-like talons. Once the runt of the litter, Jadot now tips the scales at around two pounds and sports a four-foot wing span. The females of his species grow larger to fulfill their role in protecting the nest, notes Amblo. Even so, seven of 10 young tend to die in their first yean Though calm and collected like his handler, Jadot was born free and has developed his own instincts, moods and feelings. "They're wild animals," Amblo acknowledges. "You have to respect that." Mutual respect, like that between friends, seems to guide the relationship between Amblo and Jadot. Perhaps because he has given his hawks an unusual amount of freedom — avoiding hoods, bells and other restraints common in falconry — Amblo has never had a bird soar off or become too aggressive. He does use, however, short leather "jesses," which hang from Jadot's legs to help keep the bird in hand, especially near the traffic in front of the Tarry Ho.

Caring for Jadot — a wild animal, a predator and more "friend" than pet, Amblo clarifies — is a wholly different responsibility than walking the dog or changing the kitty litter. "To be healthy

But when Jessy Amblo holds the jesses on Jadot, its clear that their bond is stronger than leather — like birds of a feather, they belong together. (7)

alk about loyalty. Never has man expressed such devotion to his "best friend." East Calais artist David Kleins fidelity to "Beanie" is without parallel. Of course, this is no ordinary dog. Beanie sings the blues. She dances. She is intelligent, beautiful and charming. What more could a pet owner want? OK, so she gets in the garbage once in awhile; after all, she is a dog. Now, Beanie is also art — that is, the subject of, and Muse for, a series of "Beanie Boxes," colorful, dioramic wall sculptures, now showing at the About Thyme Cafe in Montpelier. The series evolved from Kleins remarkable life with his shepherd-collie-mix, whom he had for about 17 years. She was his college

MAN'S BEST BEANIE odd Beanie Boxes line the walls of the Montpelier cafe. The exhibit is a treasuretrove for pun lovers. In "The Creation," Beanie stretches a paw toward God. She is nothing less than you-knowwho in "Birth of Beanus." She's also in the "Trojan Dog," "Romeo and Beaniette" and "Bean Hur." The dog ranks with the pyramids in the "Riddle of Beanx." No role is too big or too

When record labels rejected Beanie's recorded howls, Klein decided to glorify her through visual art instead.

dog. He named businesses after her. When Klein discovered her talent for singing, he started a back-up band for the dog: Beanie & the Beanettes. They actually cut a record, and for two years, during the heyday of Beanie's career as a soloist, she performed on a public access television show in New York. But when record labels rejected Beanie's recorded howls, Klein decided to glorify her through visual art instead. At first, she was little more than a blue silhouette silk-screened on a T-shirt. Gradually, Klein found other ways to transform Beanie into Everydog. He began making shadow boxes filled with bright colored papiermhchi sculptures and found objects. In these 8 x 10-inch scenes from "My Life with Beanie: A Brief History," the blue Beanie sculpture does it all. Klein charts the history of human, er, Beankind.

small for Beanie. There are no gender barriers for this mutt. Klein isn't afraid to poke fun at anything, including social and religious subjects. Beanie is Moses on Mount Sinai and the Ten Commandments are sit, stay, fetch, come, don't beg, heel, speak, roll over, paw and stick. Three "Beanies," dressed in stunning finery, bear gifts in the "Adoration of the Beanie." Atheists with Marxist leanings will enjoy "Plebeans." As Klein's brief history of time hits the psychological self-doubt of the 20th century, Beanie becomes more circumspect and less heroic. She turns many shades of blue in "Dog Descending the Staircase." She is the deathdefying "Houbini," wrapped in chains, hanging by a pulley above a cityscape. She is a Macy's parade balloon in "The Unbearable Lightness of Beanie." Little wire people hang onto her for dear life. And finally, there is a Beanie Box anyone can relate to, regardless of creed or philosophy: In "Beanie and Nothingness," the dog is watching TV. It all amounts to a hill of, well, beanies. ®

That's the n a m e of one of the canine cut-outs in Stephen Huneck's new book, My Dog's Brain (Penguin Studio). It is also the book's philosophical stance. While the poignant introduction written by H u n e c k tells how his loving wife G w e n willed him back from a seriously lifethreatening disease, the 40 or so woodcuts which follow AW, tell, in pictures more than StLVvVv ;i words, how the St. J o h n s b u r y artist feels about his dog.

SEVEN DAYS

By M a r g a r e t Levine Young and J o r d a n Young

e knew that the World Wide Web is an important resource for news, weather, stock quotes (especially in the last two weeks) and, of course, porn. Anyone who's anyone has a home page on the Web, with loads of embarrassingly personal information out there for all the world to see. But for this special issue of Seven Days we decided to check out how many home pages there are for peoples pets. We had no idea. Over 25 birds, 251 cats — including two deceased, and three pages about Socks the White House Cat — 13 ferrets, 10 hamsters, 11 horses, 11 iguanas, seven pigs, 10 or so rabbits, and thousands of dogs have their own home pages on the Internet. You can find them by starting at Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com) and choosing "Recreation," then "Animals, Insects and Pets," and then "Personal Pet Pages." Unbelievable. Who has the time? Certainly not us. Our chickens don't have their own page, although they do get a mention on Margys home page (at http://wwvv.gurus.com/ margy, if you must know). Naturally, pet owners take their pets seriously. Hey, so do we — we just spent five times the value of one of our hens getting her sore leg looked at. (But if she lays for a year or so she'll make it up to us in eggs, which most pets can't do.) And were not the only people whose chickens are pets as much as they are a source of food. If you're interested infindingo u t more, e-mail to LISTSERVE@PLEARN.EDU.PL and put a line in your message that says SUBSCRIBE DOM_BIRD, followed by your first and last names. You'll join a couple of hundred barnyard bird fanciers around the world talking about the joys and sorrows of keeping birds for. pets, for eggs auid for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. The World Wide Web is pet friendly. Here are some pages with links to useful information about all kinds of animals: X Pet Net Canada's Pet-related Links: This is a network of pet stores and breeders throughout Canada, and they've assembled an excellent collection of links to pet pages, including ones about birds, cats, dogs, fish, horses, exotic pets, small animals, etc. (http://www.petnetcanada.com/petlinks.htm) X Kids' Korner Animal Index: Although designed for children,

SEVEN DAYS

these animal pages contain useful information for grownups, too. (http://nsl.communityonline.net/kids/kanmlinx.htm) X PetStation: This slick Web site has section for the usual types of pets, including "chat" areas where you can leave messages or ask questions about your pets. (http://petstation.com) X AcmePet: Highlighting dogs, cats, birds, fish, horses, "herps" and exotic pets, they also feature book reviews and timely articles. How did your pet deal with Halloween? Acme points out that "Halloween can be especially scary for your pets." Read info from the American Animal Hospital

Association to find out what you should have done. (http://www. acmepet.com)

be pets or babies, requiring ongoing attention so that they don't "die." The Tamagotchi Fever page (http://www.maido. to/tamahome.html) explains what they are, how to take care of them, and where you can get them. Finally, if your beloved pet should shuffle off his or her mortal coil, you can immortalize little Muffy or Spot at the Virtual Pet Cemetery (http:// www.lavamind.com/pet.html). You can read dozens of endearing, tear-jerking eulogies at their Web site. A couple of Web notes: a while ago we mentioned search engines on the Web — services that allow you to enter a topic and tell you what Web pages exist about it. The problem is that there are now so many Web pages that a search in altavista.digital.com brings back 85,000 documents, in no particular order. Snake fans will be cheered to know that the frequentlyasked-question

If your beloved

pet should shuffle

Perhaps you'd like to nominate your pet as Pet of the Day. No problem: Swing by http://www. petoftheday.com and nominate him or her. October's pets-ofthe-day included mainly dogs, with a sprinkling of , , cats, birds, horses and a raccoon. Or if you'd like to check your pet's horoscope to find out if the day is auspicious for a bath, look at the Pet Channel's horoscope page at http: //www. thepetchannel .com/horoscope.html. (Their astrologer, Candace, can prepare a chart just for your pet). For pet-related trivia, go to the Dog Hause (http://www2. dgsys.com/-hollyb) and click the Animal Trivia Link. We learned, for example, that a cockroach can live for nine days without its head, which may explain why no one keeps them as pets. No consideration of Web pages about pets is complete without a quick look at the Bunny Survival Tests Home Page (http://www.pcola.gulf. net/-irving/bunnies), in which trained scientific researchers torture cute little bunnies in various ways too horrible to describe here. But before you dial the ASPCA, you should know that these are marshmallow bunnies. If you're too busy to have a real pet, take a look at the Virtual Pet Page (http://www. virtualpet.com/vp/links/links.ht m). Virtual pets (or tamagotchi, for the original Japanese model) are little devices that pretend to

(FAQ) list about reptiles was first on the list. For the rest of us, a little more sorting might be in order. So we checked out http://www.northernlight.com, the new entrant in Internet searching, which organized 352,000 pet pages on the 'net into folders (kennels, pet care, personal pages, etc.). If you're searching the Web, check it out and see what you think. Happy petting. (7)
