•MR. HOLLYWOOD Gov. Howard Dean was super-tight-lipped 1 Monday about his political fundraiser held last | week at the Los Angeles home of Hollywood I Director Rob Reiner. Ho-Ho was acting so M paranoid he wouldn't even say what part of Los * Angeles Reiner lives in, as if he'd melt like the 1 Wicked Witch of the West if the words | "Beverly Hills" came out of his mouth. While I conceding there were other celebrities in attendance, Ho-Ho ^ refused to name any of them. I All those contributions are pub| lie record, we pointed out. But Ho-Ho noted he doesn't have to file his next financial disclosure forms until next summer. Cute. Dr. Dean wasn't talking, but our Hollywood sources are. First off, Reiner lives in Brentwood, not Beverly Hills (too old-fashioned). And he gave a ringing introduction for Dean. Seems Ol' Meathead, from "All in the Family" days, "is very impressed with Dr. Dean and sees him having the potential of going to the national level," says a source close to Reiner. We're told Rob Reiner is very close to A1 Gore and likes Dick Gephardt and Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, too, but likes our HoHo the best! It's Dean's programs for kids like Success By Six that have impressed the Hollywood big shot. Inside Track's sources say that among the 5060 folks who attended the Dean fundraiser were Jim and Holly Brooks (he's the creator of "Taxi" and much, much more on the box), Susan and Ted Harbert (former ABC prez currently at Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks Studio), Kevin Pollak, the actor, and big-time Hollywood agents Jim Wyatt and Jeff Berg. Norman Lear and Michael Douglas couldn't make it, but they sent along very handsome contributions. Hey, that's not exactly a guest list to be ashamed of, Howard. Loosen up, will ya? DWI Showdown — A great political battle is brewing over the subject of drunk driving and it'll all come to a head in January under the Golden Dome. Our governor is leading the charge to get drunk drivers off the road, but he doesn't want to spend any money to achieve that goal. That was the message at his press conference Monday. Just pass a law here, or drop a little due process technicality there and increase the punishment overall and everything will be fine, says Ho-Ho. Hey, it sounds great on television and Ho-Ho knows how to play the sound-bite game. But can he have it both ways? You know the saying, "Fight AIDS, not people with AIDS"? That's because it's a disease. And in many cases it's a product of risky behavior. A lot like booze. But despite acknowledging alcoholism is a disease, too, Dr. Dean wants to fight alcoholics, not alcoholism. He doesn't intend to spend another nickel on treatment. Taking away the cars of repeat offenders is the Dean proposal. Sounds great until you check out reality. The House Judiciary Committee, under the leadership of Chairman Thomas "Cardinal" Costello has come up with a comprehensive package to present to the legislature on DWI. More cops? Sure. And a so-called Drug Court that would coordinate the state's drug policy. So far, it works pretty good in Connecticut, where the lawmakers have decided to treat drug and alcohol addiction not just as a criminal justice problem but as a public health challenge, too. Ho-Ho said Monday he doesn't know much about drug courts but is willing to learn. A

good place to start is last Fridays Christian Science Monitor. Reporter Alexandra Marks, who cut her journalistic teeth right here in Burlap with the Vanguard Press and Ch. 3, wrote a front-page piece on Connecticut's "New Drug Path." (You can get a copy at the Fletcher Free Library or by contacting City Councilor Tom Smith, the Ward 3 Progressive who reportedly has his own personal taxpayer-paid subscription.) Ho-Ho loves to talk tough, but come January we'll find out if he's willing to put his money where his mouth is. Media Notes — Kudos to WVNY-TV, our local ABC affiliate. Ch. 22 beat the big boys last week with Reporter Mike Yaffe's scoop on the Massachusetts' past of Hinesburg Principal Dan Morrison. The day after the story ran, Morrison abruptly resigned. Sunday morning WVNY aired Morrison's last interview with Alicia Talanian. It was recorded the day before his resignation when Morrison was still in denial. What a gem — great television!

His replacement is Jason Howe, who's been working in Sarasota, Florida. Howe's a native Californian and a UCLA grad. Also stepping before the camera at Ch. 5's Vermont bureau is Jody Evans, a former crime reporter in Dayton, Ohio, who's been the Newschannel 5 at Six producer for the past year. "It's the hottest Burlington bureau we've had in a long time," boasts News Director Stewart Ledbetter.

In newspaper land, the new kid on the block in the Montpeculiar press corps is Fred Bever. (Yep, he gets called "The Beave" all the time.) Fred was born in Boston and raised in Manhattan, but neither a Red Sox nor Yankee fan is he. He's a Mets fan with a degree from Columbia University. Spent the last three years in Rutland and now moves up to their capital bureau on Baldwin Street. And W G O P — sorry, WCAX-TV — News | Director Marselis Parsons is not taking criti» cism of Ch. 3 s coverage (or lack thereof) of Congressman Bernie Sanders lightly. Parsons tells Inside Track he personally called letter writer Irena Turkova to question her about her criticism last week of his station's Bernie coverage. Irena is the wife of Sanders' outreach coordinator, Phil Fiermonte. (You'll find a letter from The Great One on p.3.) Feeling a little defensive, eh, Marselis? Maybe he won't send a crew to Ol' Bernardo's press conferences because he's afraid they'll catch something? That's probably why W G O P blew off U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords Burlington press conference last week. After all, Jeezum Jim ain't a real Republican. Reefer Madness! — UVM research scientist and Grassroots Party activist Dr. Bob Melamede got quite the one-two punch in Sundays Freeps. The news article by Molly Walsh, he tells Inside Track, was "reasonably fair," but the hysterical editorial trashing him sounded like it was penned by Nancy Reagan. Hello? Marijuana leads to heroin addiction? Thought that scare tactic was buried a long time ago. The Freeps naturally linked Dr. Bob to Billy Greer, but since the paper practically ignored the Greer trial — the biggest drug prosecution in state history — they naturally got the facts wrong. The correction ran Tuesday. Oops. ®

IN BRIEF:

tbifU

Attention Fredheads. The hext shoWing j of Man with a Plan will be an "educational" one. Tuttle is front ! and center on Vermont ETV this month, with a long-awaited ; screening on December 7. Filmmaker John O'Brien hopes to ! use the Vermont showing to leverage other public television sta; tions around the country to pick up the movie. Things look ! promising in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts. . .and j Taiwan? On Monday, organizers of the Taipei Golden Horse | Film Festival faxed for permission to add exhibitions screenings J of Man With a Plan, which is getting a litde Eastern exposure. | Apparently, Tutdemania translates . . . "Conjecture" is a dirty ! word in the nitpicky world of historical biography, and it comes ; up once too often in a New York Times Book Review critique of ! George Washington: A Life. With gendemanly precision, the critic j undoes the new presidential biography by Vermont writer ! Willard Sterne Randall, faulting him for generalization, artificial | dramatization and factual errors. Although he credits Randall, a j former investigative journalist, as an "industrious digger" with I an eye for controversy," the last line is damning: "Surely this is | a book brought to birth before its time." Ouch . . . The Times critic would have had a heyday with a movie about George Washington directed by Oliver Stone. Rutland native David ! Franzoni wrote such a screenplay that never saw the light of day. But Franzoni is getting more attention than hed like for his authorship of the new Stephen Spielberg film Amistad, which has been challenged by a woman who claims the story was lifted from her own book about the slave rebellion. Although he can't talk openly about the lawsuit until after the injunction hearing, Franzoni does suggest, "You can't own history. Otherwise Shakespeare would have been in trouble, wouldn't he?" Fast-talking Franzoni will be a guest on Jeff Kaufman's "Talk of Vermont" next Tuesday on WFAD in Middlebury . . . The Vermont Stage Company is $50,000 closer to becoming a yearround dramatic force in the Burlington area. Director Blake Robison recently landed a big grant from the Catherine Filene Shouse Foundation — of Wolf Trap fame — to underwrite a series of new plays. The money helped get Tantoo Cardinal into the lead role of Mad River Rising, by Vermont playwright Dana Yeaton, about a farm family struggling to keep up with the current century. The play opens January 14. Cardinals first stage appearance in Vermont has been a long time coming. Says Robison, "1 don't think anyone ever asked her." ©

the Asian longhorned beetle — „ the senator secured federal funds to thwart the buggy predator of maple trees in his home state. But his photographs have been published in papers from The Burlington Free Press to The New York Times. Time magazine recently used one of his shots in a profile of Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. "The largest color section they ever ran," Leahy says, "was one I did on China — 37 or 38 photos." His private collection in Washington is frequented by the Dalai Lama himself. And to think it all started with Hopalong Cassidy. Actually Pat Leahy started fooling around with his mother's camera, at age seven or eight, even before he received his own at age 10 — a box emblazoned with the image of the '50s T V Western star. "In the den at home I have a collection of old cameras I've used," he says, "including the old expandable Kodaks, some my mother had when she was in

Vermont's hippest senator keeps an eye on the world touching but neither sentimental nor sensational. He aims to document humanity, and does so, in real moments of pain, joy, contemplation or everyday toil. Like all photographers, the senator has found some shots nearly reach out to grab him, while others play hard to get. Tibet proved no exception. On a side street near the main square of Lhasa — "they had a massacre not long before we got there," he notes grimly — Leahy came upon a man who earned his meager living by making and selling statuary of the Buddha. The photograph reveals him sitting on the ground before half a dozen of his fired but still unpainted clay icons. With backs to the camera, they look for all the world

Near the airport about 25 miles (as the crow flies, he qualifies) from Lhasa, and following a harrowing Himalayan trip that he feared might be his last, Leahy and his party literally slid into a breathtaking tableau. "People put the grain on the road, and cars going by add to the husking," he explains. "We were roaring down in a minivan, with a driver sent by the Chinese. He was driving really fast, and next to the road was a steep ravine." When the vehicle hit the grain it lost traction and skidded — thankfully to a safe stop. Once out, the group discovered their plane was delayed and Leahy had the leisurely time it took him to persuade

SQUAGMYRE,

CONFUSION

(self-released, CD) — The "pearl" of confusion comes in the first few seconds of this debut CD from local rockers Squagmyre: The sound seems to come from a little tinny transistor radio under the pillow — the kind you listened to as a kid when you were supposed to be asleep. But in short order the Squags rip into the enigmatically titled "Julie Ann the Dragonfly," grown from the traditions of classic rock and what now passes for "groove." Squagmyres strong suit fits well: an instrumental maturity reflecting heaps of practice, and double-edged harmonies that pack a guy-wallop — these from guitarist Jim Wiegand (also chief songwriter) and bassist Rudy Dauth. Wiegand knows when to sizzle (good example is "Sakpork Baby," but ouch, those lyrics) and when to lay back (the gentler "Silhouette"); Dauths immensely fluid bass playing is a supple backbone to this Essex-based power trio; David j Langhoff is likewise an able timekeeper. Squagmyre has a ways to go in crafting truly mem-, orable songs — most of these nine originals cover mighty familiar turf and occasionally stumble convoluted epic "Don Quixote," which despite —- or perhaps because of — its 9:49 clock time features sonic ideas worth future explorations. The 8:37 "Some of die Time," though, could use some editing, and the 9:37 closer, "Flowers," has a cookin instrumental part compromised by a silly vocal line. Pearl docs boast a nice fat sound quality — with just the right amount of rock 'n roll dirt — courtesy of PR Appleget at Lakemont Studios. These guys are live-show monsters, so watch for the next date in a club near you.

Utah Phillips and illustrated in cartoons by Palieri's brother David; a handsome tri-fold soft cover, h la double LPs of yore; and full lyric sheet, including the stories behind the songs. Palieri, aka the Polish Bagpiper, is a true folk musician in the traditional manner: with a friendly baritone he relays original tunes often written in response to some social/political/environmental disturbance - the

hether or not all the world's a stage, Danny Hoch sees everyone as fair game for casting in his dramatic work. In Some People, Hoch's solo act that played the Flynn Theatre in 1995, the actor-writer raised in Brooklyn and Queens drew on the ethnic, racial and linguistic diversity of his home community to portray 11 characters ranging from a Jamaican deejay to a twentysomething Puerto Rican woman to a paranoid jerk from New Jersey. Hoch's uncanny ear for dialect and deftness at capturing the poignant, and often corrfical, poetry of everyday conversation earned Some People a 1993 Obie award and a 1996 Cable Ace award nomination (it was taped for HBO), among other accolades. Hoch returns to the Flynn next week with his latest one-man melting pot: Jails, Hospitals & HipHop. Working from "a whole bunch of inner monologues" composed of the myriad English dialects and other languages he grew up with, Hoch, now 27, creates characters that are composites of people he's encountered or the evolutionary outcome of "one line that I heard on the subway," and always facets of himself. Rather than script these characters, Hoch allows them to evolve gradually — and largely in front of public audiences — in a process he calls "structured improvisation." The results, which have been likened to the work of Eric Bogosian, John Leguizamo, Anna Deavere Smith and Lily Tomlin, are a very "now" type of theater, Hoch says; one "not in the tradition of western European theater" but "in the new languages of the United States."

and "a little darker" than Some People. Characters in the older piece were like "different pieces of clothing on a clothesline," he says. In Jails the characters are loosely linked, as the title suggests, by their contexts. They include a corrections officer at an upstate New York facility; a now mature young man — but former crack baby — saying good-bye to the rehabilitation staff who cared for him; and a wannabe gangsta rapper working at a Hardee's in Montana. Hoch also shares, through the character of Danny Hoch, a true story about his ill-fated guest spot on "Seinfeld." From his side of the story, the gig went sour owing to a difference of "cultural" opinion with the eponymous star. Hoch's rebelliousness is not an act, though, nor is it a feature of his newfound fame. As a student at New York's prestigious High School of the Performing Arts, he crossed the boundaries of traditional acting study to research the pre-Greek and Roman theatrical tradi-

"And it sort of coincided with my instinct, which was to reject all of the empty, abstract Beckett plays and Tennessee Williams and Quentin Tarantino films." In these nonWestern theatrical traditions, not coincidentally, solo performers flourished. And, unlike in the contemporary American conception of theater, Hoch points out, they were considered actors, their works considered plays.

being purveyed to us through theater, film, TV." Instead, he began working with adolescents in the jails and high schools of New York City, teaching conflict resolution through drama. Hoch has pretty much continued to walk the unconventional walk, turning down many TV and movie offers that followed on the heels of Some People, including a role in an eminently forgettable Tarantino film. And while he is currendy shopping a screenplay — "about white hip-hop in Iowa" — and recently acted in the upcoming Terrence Malick film, The Thin Red Line (along with John Travolta, Sean Penn and George Clooney), his heart remains in his stage work. "Life is short," he says. "If you have the opportunity to say something, you should use it wisely. If I can pay my rent, then I'm wasting my time doing From Dusk Till Dawn." Hoch is quick to note, though, that what his characters are saying in Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop is not all gloom and doom. On the contrary, much of it is very funny — in the provocative way that comes from catching ourselves and our culture in the bright light of unadorned human communication.

The biographer of the "real" Anastasia checks out the cartoon

By Peter

Kurth

went all alone on Saturday afternoon to see Anastasia, the vastly hyped, $100 million dollar animated cartoon version of the mystery surrounding the fate of the youngest daughter of the Tsar of Russia. I shouldn't say "I went," actually. What I did was sneak into the theater, just as the lights went down, wearing dark glasses and hiding my face behind a newspaper in case anyone on the premises had a mind to ask me questions about the film. My friends and family, worried that I might have a stroke, had offered to hold my hand during what we all assumed would be an ordeal, if not an outright torture for me — the total desecration, as I supposed, of a subject I hold close to my heart and which gave me my start as a professional writer. But stoic that I am, I preferred to go it alone.

ROYALTY CHECK Continued from page 17 contradiction not only to the vast body of independent evidence that exists in Anna Andersons favor, but to the testimony and experience of everyone who knew her. Being one of the last of these, and having studied her case with a thoroughness matched only by the lawyers who conducted her exhaustive suits for legal recognition — the "Anastasia" trials occupied the German courts for nearly 40 years and ended in a draw, neither proven nor disproven — I maintain my faith in her authenticity without remorse, even though it's landed me in the Conspiracy Theorist/Sore Loser/Loony Tune category so far as science and history go. The truth is that they don't

go far at all. When the bodies of the Russian imperial family were finally discovered in a secret grave in Siberia in 1991, after the fall of the Soviet government, Anastasia's was found to be missing. At the same time, handwriting analyses and forensic comparisons of Anna

Andersons face and ears with the "real" Anastasia's unanimously conclude that the two women were identical. This is not to mention the scores of witnesses who had known Anastasia in Russia and recognized the claimant in later life. At the very least, the mys-

tery endures, and for that reason I still get royalty checks twice a year on a book first published in 1983. Mind you, Don Bluth and Gary Goldman, the producers of the all-talking, all-singing, all-dancing-villains-and-lovableanimals cartoon version of the

story, didn't consult me when they put ink to paper, or anyone else, so far as I know, who actually knew Anna Anderson. Anastasia is the first production of Fox Animation Studios, a division of 20th Century Fox established for the express purpose of unseating Disney in the animated features department. "[We] wanted to do something like My Fair Lady," Don Bluth explains, "where a girl is transformed from something ordinary to something quite glorious." For a while, according to him, Fox considered a re-working of Annie Get Your Gun, "which was about this little country girl who becomes the star of Wild Bill Hickock's 'Wild West Show.' But soon we began asking, 'How high could we go with this?' and the word 'princess' kept hitting the table, which got us to the story of

hired to play the part of the Tsar's daughter in order to lay claim to the Romanov fortune in Europe. But she slowly discovers, as her memory returns, that she's the genuine article after all. In the end, although she's been acknowledged as Anastasia by her grandmother, the Dowager Empress, she decides that love is more important than money and a crown and elopes with a handsome Russian who values her for her-

Anastasia." O n the surface, nothing more incongruous can be easily imagined, short of a cartoon version of Anne Franks Diary or a musical comedy about Diana in Paris. But looks are deceiving, and I'm the first to eat crow. Anastasia is without doubt the most sophisticated, lushly designed, darkly beautiful "cartoon" you'll be seeing for a long time to come. On its own terms, at least, it's a work of art. Three years in the making, with a list of credits that runs to 16 pages in press hand-outs, the cartoon Anastasia is a spirited adaptation of the 1956 Ingrid Bergman vehicle of the same name, also produced by 20th Century Fox. For the Bergman film, Anna Anderson's story had already been fictionalized, romanticized and Hollywood-ized beyond recognition, depicting "Anastasia" as a beautiful amnesiac who is

adventure that remains the _ most compelling of my life. I sat at Cinema 9 on Saturday afternoon amid a swarm of children and wondered if there might be one among them, or more than one, whose life would be changed by the experience — by this ludicrous cartoon I'd expected to despise, and was expected to despise by everyone who knows me. But I couldn't despise it. My cynicism had vanished. I saw nothing but

eagerness on the children's faces and felt a wash of emotion, remembering myself at a comparable age and the doors that were magically opened for me thanks to Hollywood sentimentality. Bluth and Goldman are insisting in interviews that Anastasia is "not a children's movie," and in a way they're right. They've cleaned it up for the kids — there are no Bolsheviks, no bloody revolutions, no horrible massacres of innocent children in the middle of the night — but they've kept its essential darkness, its mystery, its atmosphere of loneliness and loss. They have done this, moreover, not through plot or characterization (with Meg Ryan providing the voice of Anastasia, the heroine can only be chipper and hip), but visually, dimensionally — in a word, artistiContinued

But fairy tales have their place, and it was Bergman's glamorized Anastasia that first introduced me to the story that would alter my existence, when I was 13 years old. It was Hollywood at its schmaltziest that lit my youthful fire and set me off on an incredible, one-in-a-million

The athleticism that characterizes her poetry is not her most important accomplishment, but what she achieves by it is not easily done.

Vermonters find out the way the ball bounces in winter's outdoor tennis By

ours!" goes the call as a bright yellow ball floats high overhead, like an undersized moon against a black sky. "Fwop, donk." A fiberglass paddle strokes the beefy rubber ball off aluminum floorboards painted green with a gritty, sandpaper finish. "One!" comes the desperate cry of instruction from one partner to another near the end of a 20-touch rally. "Nice point," all four players chime in at last, as the ball falls dead in a corner of chicken-wire screening. Welcome to the little-known game of platform tennis, or "paddle," as it is often called. "It's almost a cross between tennis and racquetball," claims Ted Hoehn, a longtime paddle player and owner of the highly regarded Windridge Tennis Camp in Craftsbury. The big difference between paddle and tennis, he explains, is the 12-foot-high screens that enclose the court and allow paddle players a second swipe at the ball. A paddle court — which a small band of dedicated players installed at the Burlington Tennis Club last year —

resembles a miniature tennis court raised a few feet above the ground and surrounded by tightly drawn wires or

shotmaking and strategy of paddle. "Tennis is more of a power game." Perhaps because quick reflexes, wellplaced shots and a good touch at the ^ net — not power — are the keys tb the game, paddle is accessible to playertof all ages and both genders. Half the fun of the game is that paddle is a very social way to exercise with plenty of give and take between partners and opponents alike. Singles paddle is almost never played, and mixed doubles can be as good a workout as a pair of partners could want. In fact, it was a labor of love that brought the court to the Burlington Tennis Club in the first place, says Greg Peters, a 52-year-old Charlotte resident who led the effort to reconstruct the court at its current site. The 30-by-60-foot structure with a heated floor and six overhead lights was first installed as a private court in the backyard of a Hyde Park paddle player. Taking on a life of its own, the court has seen action in five locations, including a long run behind the Sirloin Saloon on Shelburne Road.

ments and build the sport." Despite a cadreof devoted players, paddle has sort of piddled along while other sociable games, like golf, have gained widespread popularity in recent years. One explanation, Peters offers, is that the sport is limited to northern climates; the rubber ball becomes so lively it bounces out of the court in warm weather. "It's a natural for Vermont," he acknowledges, noting that last season's play extended from midOctober until May. A different explanation for the stagnant interest in the fast-moving game, ventures Coleburn, is paddle's preppy, country-club roots. Despite this traditional domain, he says, the sport's relatively inexpensive and a great way to get outside in the winter "But," he remarks, "I don't think paddle shows up on the radar screens of the Parks and Rec departments. ®

sell the court. The loose-knit group, then known as the Burlington Paddle Tennis Association, knew they had to take action or risk losing the opportunity to play their sport. Only a few other Vermont communities, including Middlebury College and Woodstock, have courts, Peters says. The game is much more popular in metropolitan areas around New York and Boston. "T > Its a project that had to be done," he says firmly of the successful effort to find a new home for the court. Peters, who learned the game from Hoehn on the same court when it first landed in Burlington in 1978, says he's hoping it will one day have a mate. "We look forward to getting enough play going so we can get a second court and a paddle hut up [for] social round-robins and tourna-

he artist displays her drawing for her colleagues to admire. It's a lively crayon rendering of a man riding the neck of a rearing dragon. "This is the part where he says, 'I got an idea how to get the huff,'" the artist explains. "Anyone like it?" Hands shoot up. "I like the spikes on Charlie's back." "I like the colors. They come out to my eyes." "I like the way Freddy's sort of curled around Charlie, like they're good buddies. And the way the lines in the background are all scriggly shows excitement to me." It's a cozy scene at the Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS) Families in Transition facility, in Burlington's Old North End. The artists — five elementary school children curled up on comfortable chairs and couches — meet twice a week with artist Rachel Nevitt for Home in Arts, a program run by COTS and Very Special Arts Vermont (VSAVT). Under the steady, gentle guidance of Nevitt and two adult assistants, the kids draw, paint, construct masks and puppets, dance, make music and hear stories. All the children are COTS clients, who

participate in the program at no cost to their families. Several of the kids are also published

It runs programs from Newport to Brattleboro, and works with a host of different organizations, according to Jennifer Cirillo, VSAVT Program Coordinator. In one project co-sponsored by VSAVT and the Lake Champlain Science Center, Old North End teenagers are creating a kit to teach younger students about the environment, Cirillo says. In another program she describes, preschoolers from the Burlington Children's Space and elders from the Champlain Senior Center formed a dance

Families in Transition provides apartments for formerly homeless families who need to time to strengthen their finances and improve their job skills before moving on to market-rate housing. Families in both programs depend on minimum-wage jobs and incomes that are 30 income of the median or lower. For the children of these families, the artistry and encouragement Home in Arts provides are a godsend, Markley says. "When you're called shelter trash on the playground, but on Thursday afternoon you're a star, that helps balance the darker edges." (7)

SOLE FOOD

A Body Shop recipe for tired feet* 1 Soak feet in warm water and Lavender Essential Oil. This will soothe the feet and relax the senses. 2 Apply Pumice Foot Scrub in a gentle, circular movement to the entire soles of the feet. Spend a little extra time on the rough spots, and take care to get between the toes. 3 Rinse feet in warm water, pat dry with a warm towel. 4 Massage Peppermint Foot Lotion into feet, both top and bottom. This will first cool, then warm the feet —making them feel like little pillows. 5 For extra relief, apply cooling gel to the thighs, calves and ankles. Finally, tuck your toes into Body Shop moisturizing slippers. You'll feel tike new. *A Quickie for Feet on the Run: Try a cool burst of Refreshing Foot Spray — a treat for hot, tired feet.

mittee that will report to the City Council next March on an eco-industrial park proposed for a corner of the Intervale. Carminati's office is also continuing to shepherd the Filene's project through the permit process while simulaneously addressing other aspects of the build-out of Burlington Square Mall. The $3 million federal Enterprise Community Project has occupied much of C E D O s energies since Clavelles return to the mayor's office. The grant has now expired, but the Old North End will remain eligible for related, indirect assistance for another eight years. "My guess is there will also be more [federal] money available at some point," Carminati says. Burlington has been viewed as one of the star performers in the nationwide Enterprise Community initiative. Many of the targets set by local organizations were met during the two years that the $3 million grant was flowing. So why hasn't more progress been made in alleviating poverty in the Old North End? "For individuals, there were a whole lot of benefits" accruing from the Enterprise funding, Carminati says. She notes that the.nipncy could not be used for physical projects. In addition, "more people slide into poverty" in the Old North End as a result of national trends and an influx of immigrants from other countries and other parts of the United States. On balance, Carminati maintains, the Enterprise program helped "keep us healthier than many other communities." As she moves to meet the challenges facing CEDO, Carminati can expect Clavelle to be looking over her shoulder — sometimes too closely ror comfort. The mayor confesses that he finds it difficult to let go of his former role as lead of the city's development agency. Giving unsolicited advice to Carminati is "a temptation I do succumb to," Clavelle admits. For her part, Carminati implies that it isn't easy working in the office adjoining the man who used to hold her job and who now serves as her JOSS. Without accusing Clavelle of interference, she tactfully reports, "I have had conversations with Peter in which these matters have been discussed." (?)

The outrageous liberties taken with the character of Rasputin, which currendy have a lot of historians with their knickers in a twist, aren't worth getting upset about; for once "the Mad Monk" provides comic relief. I don't know why every cartoon made in America needs to waste its time with songs — merchandising, I suppose — but there's only one in Anastasia that's even remotely memorable, and before the jrioyj&was over ten they were there.

ARICS

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): C o m e the holiday season, everyone becomes more receptive to the possibility that miracles can happen. Even the nihilistic party-poopers w h o d o m i n a t e the media seem willing to tone down their cynical debunkery of all things n u m i n o u s . Yet w h o could have guessed that you t o u g h - m i n d e d Aries Folk would suddenly b e c o m e m o r e susceptible to w o n d r o u s anomalies than all the other signs combined? Here they come, baby: freaky overnight cures, loopy angelic visitations, stupefying prodigies t o o beautifully strange to put into words, and w h o knows what else.

TAURUS (Apr. 2 0 - M a y 20): As I contemplate your week ahead, I'm reminded of the book by Swami Beyondananda called When You See a Sacred Cow. ..Milk It for AU It's Worth. Why? Because it's m y astrological opinion, Taurus, that you should n o t fall to your knees before anyone or anything that resembles a sacrosanct beast — unless it agrees to serve your needs, too. If you want to praise h o w sonorous its bellowing m o o s sound, and h o w gracefully it chews its cud, a n d h o w fragrant its forts are — fine; do all that; b u t only if it returns t h e favor twofold.

of a fresh new w o e — or dolf-like facet of your psyene.

CANCCR (June 21-July 22): Near the end of November every year, many of us Cancerians surrender to the inner worrywart, allowing it to rise u p and take control. It's as i f w e ' r e possessed. Suddenly we're generating images of fear and d o u b t with the same prodigious effort that at other times we devote to n u r t u r i n g the people we love. I say we stop this nonsense now. I say we make this week the turning point when we break the vicious cycle once and for all. Here's a key point to understand if we're to win the battle: Just because a scary fantasy is vivid doesn't qualify it as an authentic psychic intuition. Learn to discriminate between highanxiety hallucinations f r o m your guilty conscience and true-blue messages f r o m your deep soul. L € 0 (July 23-Aug. 22): In the next few weeks I d like you t o consider t h e possibility o f b e c o m i n g b e t t e r acquainted with Tasty Tickles Body Powder, Hitachi Magic Wands, and tantric workshops. M y h u n c h " '

instructs you to cook a big cabbage, beet, turnip and onion stew for dinner. "You're crazy," you hear yourself spitting back at her as you r u b your eyes and lumber out of bed. A couple hours later, as you gaze u p at the sky and daydream, a voice p o p s into your head and murmurs, You need to take a nice, long walk." "Says who?" you bark out loud, abruptly silencing the voice. Still later, on your way home, you're surprised to find yourself giving in to an overpowering urge to buy new shoes. C a n you guess h o w these three events might be related, Virgo? They're all trying to deliver the same message: C o m e way, way down to earth.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Lately it almost seems as if a wacko sorcerer has split you into two different creatures w h o never appear in the same place at the same time. W h a t makes t h e mystery even more m a d d e n i n g is that the two versions of you are toiling at cross purposes, a n d each seems t o have amnesia about t h e other. W h a t shall we do? I say we try to trick t h e t w o of t h e m into showing

story ends here, with the grasshopper's fate in d o u b t . I bring this up, Scorpio, because you remind m e of the ants. Your organized, resourceful habits have put you in a position of strength. In every conceivable way, you're wellstocked. A n d thus it's a law of nature that folks like Aesop's grasshopper will soon start showing u p a n d hustling you for your goodies. M y advice? Don't be as stingy as the ants, b u t be very discriminating about which grasshoppers you indulge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 2 2 - D e c 21): Have you ever experienced childbirth firsthand, Sagittarius? If so, you k n o w that o n e of the primary ways to gauge h o w the labor is progressing is to measure the dilation of the cervix. A diameter of 10 centimeters is regarded as the threshold at which the fetus can wriggle free of t h e w o m b . I bring this u p because you n o w have a certain metaphorical resemblance t o a w o m a n o n the verge of giving birth. (This is true even for you men.) Only trot is, you're still at the equivalent of being eight centimeters dilated. S< please visualize yourself (Dec. 22-Jao. 9): "Interruption" is your word of

of cosmic deliverance that are designed t o t u r n you back in the direction of home.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): T h i r t y - t w o years ago next week, Aquarian heroine Rosa Parks informed t h e driver of a city bus in M o n t g o m e r y , Alabama, that she w o u l d n o t step to the back as all black people were expected to. She was arrested for crimes against segregation, triggering a massive boycott that birthed the m o d e r n civil rights m o v e m e n t . I call o n you Aquarians to take a Rosa Parks-like stand in the next 10 days. Your small b u t noble act of subversion could launch a revolution.

PISCCS (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I have a psychic vision of you signing autographs this week; I see admirers disguising themselves as pizza delivery people in a desperate effort to get closer to you; and I sense that you will also receive an honorary tide and a kiss o n the butt and m a n y pleas to fork over m o r e energy. You're a freaking m a g n e t this week, Pisces, an irresistible object of devotion that'll inspire b o t h breathtaking acts of transcendence a n d nrri/Mi cltr :<tunntM»*/f
