RESPECT THE CINEMA

weekly

mail

H aving ju st moved back to Vermont after a seven-year stay in Southern California, and as som e one who possesses a deep passion for independent and foreign cine ma, I am shocked and disappointed by the lack o f access to quality film here in Burlington. I then discovered your paper with the hope and assum ption that such an eclectic blend o f writers and contributors m ust analyze, critique and focus on the best that current cinem a has to offer. I then cam e across your “top 10 best and worst o f ’9 6 ” (D ecem ber 30/Jan uary 8). I found this list to be pathetic and laughable. Initially, m y eyes lit up as I spied Fargo and Lone S tar on the “ best” list. Both film s are, in m y opinion, brilliant pieces o f work by tod ays m ost interesting film makers. Scanning the list further, though, I becam e nauseous seeing movies like Tin Cup and Executive Decision on the sam e page. Is infantile H ollyw ood drivel what your writers consider the “ best” traits within today’s films? W ith high-quality productions like Secrets an d Lies, Trees Lounge and Nelly an d M onsieur A m aud having com e out last year, I see no logic in m entioning sewer like M ultiplicity. O ne o f the most im portant ele m ents within analyzing art is that there is always a level o f subjectivity. Yes, one is completely entitled to his or her own critique o f any work o f art, be it sculpture, literature or a movie. Still, certain elements m ust exist to be able to consider som e thing “one o f the best.” O bviously your writers need to enroll in a com m unity college course that teaches the basic aesthetic values within a film. Cheech M arin and Kevin C ostner chasing a g o lf ball, snapping one-liners, does not constitute a “best” film. Please, have som e respect for the cinema.

A REAL JOURNALIST Long may Mr. Freyne continue to write for you. H e’s virtually the only journalist in Vermont who writes like a journalist. A killer at tim es (like father, like son), he’s the main reason I read your paper.

We, the staff at Purging Talon, have been in the local entertainm ent biz since before Rocketsled, T h e Pants, Slush (aka Five Seconds Expired), and m any o f the other mega-hyped facets o f local pop culture — including Seven Days, I might add. We have locally produced four separate magazine titles (as well as a fifth, which is on the way), which are distributed internationally and have been given rave reviews, both from print m edia (such as Wired) as well as electronic, we have been interviewed, reprinted in other publications, have basically surpassed the efforts o f all other local ’zine publications, and have produced, more than likely, som e o f the top-selling ’zines in the industry. All this in mind, why is it that so many outside authorities view us with such rever ence, while local m edia seem not to see us as a legiti m ate and viable source o f culture and entertainment at all? T h is makes even less sense with respect to local media’s over-dramatized effort to hype and super-sell the other sources o f m usic and art. D o we intim idate you? W ill you even print this letter?

— Vanilla Christ Burlington

Burlington and its local bastions o f pop culture seem to m ake an incredible fuss over everything relat ed to m usic or art in this town, and barely bat an eyelash at anything literature-oriented unless it depicts cows, covered bridges, m aple sy ru p ... or music or art. So it was alm ost a shock when Seven Days took meager (and its very first) notice o f the efforts o f Purging Talon Publishing in [the January 29) W ebsite guide, and I m ight add that such notice took three-and-one-half years to occur.

AIRING LOCAL MUSIC T h e University o f Vermont’s nonprofit radio sta tion, W R U V -FM Burlington, has been in existence for nearly four decades. Periodically, we are moved to defend our stated policies against rum ors and innu endo. Andrw Sm ith’s latest colum n, “W hatever,” in 4 /4 Volume 1, Issue 3, W inter 1997 is a case in point. O nly poor journalism can account for your p u b lishing o f unsubstantiated statem ents, as any investi gation into the matter would have yielded inform a tion quite to the contrary. W R U V has been supporting local m usic since long before the idea o f a “commercial alternative” radio station was a gleam in corporate m usic’s eye. W R U V has and always will support local music, regardless o f airplay on other radio stations. W R U V firmly believes that local musicians deserve as much support as we can give. T h e top 100 o f 1996 was topped by three local bands, Twelve Tim es Over at #3, Five Seconds Expired at #2, and M adelines at #1, with two others, Starlight Conspiracy and D row ningm an in the top 25 (see full listing in the “M issing Link” on the reverse o f the Spring 1997 schedule or on our Web site at www.uvm.edu /-w ruv). In addition to the support individual D Js give to local music, W R U V has been hosting “Exposure” for nearly a decade, a weekly two-hour program devoted exclusively to broadcasting live and recorded local music. Clearly, W R U V is the top supporter o f local m usic in the area, and any rum ors to the contrary are just that — rumors.

What do we care where its exerted? said the sci.physics regulars. We are scientists. We deal in the world o f quantifiable effects. It is enough to know that the air bears somewhere, and that the pressure differential in aggregate is sort|r mathematically d eterm in ah |l|m ou n C ^aji, consequence whereof the spaghetti is sucked, or rather forced, into your mouth.

few o f the scientific types conceded that the question had a certain practical interest. After some discussion we concluded that where as it is customary to think o f air as pressing straight down, most individ ual air particles, in fact, strike the surface o f die spaghetti obliquely. Those particles striking the spaghetti close to the point where it entered the mouth, and whose vector had some inward-pushing component, would force it in. Exactly how close to the mouth the particles would have to hit would o f course depend on whether the spaghetti was a l dente or boiled ,to within an inch o f its life.

L E A D E R S H IP Oh, isn’t it great to live in a democracy? g Three branches o f government. Checks and balS ances. N o royalty here, folks. But try telling 1 that to Howard Dean. | The ground is still trembling from last I week’s Vermont Supreme Court decision that J declared the current system for funding public I education unconstitutional. The timing was | perfect, taking the ground out from under the | feet o f our great leader and rising national star. For the past two years House Speaker * Michael Obuchowski has publicly and privately 1 urged Ho-Ho to take the leadership position on | property tax reform in the courageous style I demonstrated by Gov. Deane Davis on Act 250 Jj or Gov. Madeleine Kunin on environmental t protection. Always Ho-Ho’s answer has been, | “no way, Jose.” 1 Dr. Dean doesn’t mind ticking off a few I minority interests here and there, but his politi* cal instincts have told him that leading the : charge for a major overhaul on education fund| ing would put him squarely at the center o f a I hornet’s nest. The blush would surely slip from !: his political rose. It could even be his Waterloo! 1 In the past, Dean’s weaseled out o f the 1 assignment by noting the Senate’s GOP majori| ty would never buy into wholesale reform. I Emboldened by that G OP j checkmate, Ho-Ho’s told I reporters that in his heart o f | hearts he’s always known a | statewide property tax is the answer, but the GOP-run senate won’t stand for it. Factor in a 70 percent approval rating and it’s | gotten him off the hook... until now. I This year the D ’s control S both House and Senate. So | what’s been holding Dr. Dean g back, you ask? Why didn’t he a propose doing what, in the past, ^ he always said was the right 1 thing to do? | This, folks, is fodder for a I chapter o f P rofiles In C ou rage , or ;;; rather, the lack thereof. But the Supremes have now | made Howard Dean obsolete. | He had his chance and didn’t I use it. Now he’s spinning like a ■ top to try and regain a promiS nent position in the debate | that’s before the legislative p branch. But, the fact is, now, 8 post Supreme Court decision, " Howard Dean is simply irrelevant to the discus| sion no matter how much noise he makes. He | had his chance and chose not to take the point, p The Supremes have exercised their constitu■ tional power. Ralph Wright, the former Speaker I of the House who did take the point on proper| ty tax reform that Dean abdicated, has now | been vindicated. The ball’s in the legislature’s » court and, for now, all Ho-Ho can do is watch. ■ Medic! - The battle on Hospital Hill continues 1 to rage, the employee body count to climb. | Under the reign o f Prince William, aka Bill a Gilbert, staff morale at Vermont’s largest hospi* tal continues to slide and the trauma o f an I assignment to the unemployment line contin| ues to terrorize thousands o f employees and g their families. It’s not a pretty sight So far all the spin-doctoring Prince William I learned during his Statehouse career hasn’t paid i off. Neither have the published puff pieces | about him as a man with a sense o f humor and | engaging dinner parties at his Spear St. hacien* da. Think that impresses the nursing staff? I This week’s announcement that, on top o f | last year’s layoffs (and November’s “morale | boosting” payoffs), another 425 positions will ** be chopped. _____ 1 nr ____ damn J ___ nxT’_ __ M t:1 Too_ many R N ’s on the_ tHill, i apparently.

One key element o f Prince William’s strategy! has been to marginalize, if not silence, the anonymous underground publication that gives g employees the real inside dope on management. Gilbert’s attacked The Setting Suns credibility. In 1 the last few months there’s been a hospital-wide crackdown on its distribution. But the pirated copy Inside Track received a couple weeks back accurately forecast this week’s bad news: We have learned that 400 F T E ’s [full-time employees], are being targeted. .. all from the M C H V campus... The physicians will not allow their empires to be touched! R N ’s will take the biggest hit. R N jobs are going to be replaced with Nurse Aide and L P N jobs. R N ’s will have a choice. Take an Aide’s job and a pay cut, or leave the organization. Nice choice, huh? The next several months are going to be extremely dijficult. We will be lied to, we will be misled, we are going to suffer. Through it all, we will continue to provide you with the truth. Demand the same from the Administration. I P.S. Yo, Setting Sun editor. Coffee? Tea? A beer? | Riehle — Truly Reborn? — You think Sen. Helen Riehle might have been a little bit chas- * tened by her embarassing sixth-place finish in * November? Helen of Troy’s been spending her § winters in Montpelier since 1983. But in November she almost paid the price for the g Senate Repub-licans’ “Just Say No” policy on property tax reform over the last 1 four years. But things change. | The new, born-again Sen. I Riehle is deliberately moving to the left as fast as she can. In the Senate Natural Resources Committee, it was Riehle who went further than even the leftwing chairman, Chainsaw Liz Ready, and the environmental activists wanted to go on the aerial spraying o f herbicides issue. Riehle not only opposed the aerial spraying on forest land 1 o f the chemical that’s currently | sprayed on Christmas tree farms | and orchards, but she successful- « ly amended the bill to prohibit ® ground application, too! The message to the voters of g Chittenden County: “I am not a « conservative, right-wing, pro-busi- g ness Republican. Riehle and truly, 1 I’m a tree-hugger just like you, and don’t you forget it!” g Not Guilty! — You may recall the report here last winter o f the I travails o f Colchester Selectman § Brian McNeil. In the midst o f g his effort to establish a police commission in Colchester, McNeil was popped by one o f the ® local gendarmes for driving with a fraudulent | license plate. Because his “M C ” plate was fre- g quently stolen (collector’s item?), he’d welded a g homemade copy to the front bumper. It looked 1 exactly like the genuine article on the rear. Selectman McNeil faced a possible $195 fine and a 60-day suspension. But he was quickly found not guilty in traffic court last Friday. The judge ruled there was “no intent” to 8 operate with a fraudulent plate. McNeil never jf even had to raise the issue o f a double standard, g You see, the gendarme who busted McNeil, Ofc. Michael Fish, got in a little hot water recently for stopping an apparent drunk driver, 1 discovering an off-duty state trooper behind the g wheel and kindly chauffeuring the gentleman g home without issuing a ticket. By the way, McNeil succeeded in establish- 1 ing a police commission in Colchester after all. g The new five-member commission’s first meet- | ing is set for next week. But the gendarmes still ~ have it in for him. In the March election Selectman McNeil’s being challenged by UVM | security chief Dave Richards. Interesting. □

.. MELTDOWN Face to Face alone is worth a tetea-tete at the boarder/music fest called The Airwalk Sno-Core Tour '97 — the raucous Southern California quartet hurtles itself into no-nonsense. Green Dayesque speedy pop-punk. And that's after breakneck ska-punk from Less Than Jake and Voodoo Glow Skulls, biting hip-hop from The Pharcyde and the adrenaline infusion of Powerman 5000. Catch this air, dudes and dudettes. Club Toast, The B Side and The Buzz present Sno-Core at Bolton Valley this Saturday. Board (or just watch the competition) by day, bounce by night.

ONCE UPON A WEDDING...

A congregation recalls the big m om ent By Pamela Polston

C h ris Lussier, d irecto r o f

a F u n eral, The G odfath er,

or “Funniest Home Videos,” nearly everyone has a story about their wedding — unless they got too blotto to remem ber. For some the day remains, uh, veiled forever in a blissful mist o f roses and romance. Others more vividly recall the near-disaster — the car in the ditch, the ripped seams, the melting cake, the disturbingly tardy groom. Or the oddball, the silly, the surreal moment that still makes them giggle. Some skip right on to the hon eymoon. This week, some ran dom Vermonters reminisce.

Thabault in 1 9 8 2 . We had a great wedding, in Connecticut, my home town. We had an open baE and, because we did our own wed ding, we forgot to close it, there was no one in charge. So people had a really good time. Uncle Frank sang “Oh, Danny Boy” — and then he passed out. There was a lot o f impromptu singing. The next morning, he and his son-in-law looked for flowers to bring as peace offer ings to their wives. Helen Riehle, C h itten d en C ounty Sen ator, m a rrie d stock broker Ted in 1 9 7 2 .

It was a beautiful day in September, outside on Lake Champlain. There were no embarrass ing things... But we had a funny bridal night, I guess. We went to Basin Harbor for the honeymoon; the room had two single, kind o f camp beds, and we had to push them together. I o f course got the crack, and it was very uncomfortable. But it was a great day and I don’t regret it.

It is a pretty great story. Our original reception place was at Marble Island, but it burned down. We went to Stowe Resort. That day a huge storm had knocked out all the power and they had candles going up the staircase. We were worried about the food getting cooked, but especially about the band — there was no power. Jimmy [Branca, o f Bloozotomy] looked over at the table and saw the look on, particularly, my face. He had members o f the kitchen go through the resort and find an acoustic guitar — I think they found one in the playschool, and another one with only four strings. They came over to our table at a really tense moment and started playing “Stand By Me” Vis. — “When the night has come, and the wind blows and knocks down trees and your wedding day is d ark ...” Everyone in the reception started clapping and I just got up and gave Jimmy a big hug. They ended up walking among the tables and playing these instruments, banging on them more than playing... you’ve never really seen unplugged until there’s absolutely no power. It was a testament to Jimmy’s musical ability that he sang just about _ every song you rcould think o f...

I remember at the reception someone requested “We Are Family,” and the whole family — including my twin — got up arm-in-arm and was singing and dancing together. When ever I hear that song, I remem ber my wedding. Along with that, my husband is 6’8” and I’m 5’3” , so [during the recep tion] I jumped up on a chair for one o f the slow dances so I could be face-to-face with him.

The day after my second wedding, my wife and I were on the way to the train station and had car trouble. I stopped and opened the hood to see what was wrong. Sh e got on a pay phone to call her father to find qut what was wroiig. I had bet ter weddings than I had mar riages... But I’ve been to wed dings that were pretty outra geous — like the one where both the bride and the groom invited all their former lovers to the wedding. Lots on both side. I’ve got a buddy [from child hood], for the last 30 years he and I have been sending each other pictures o f ugly brides. Neither o f us knows how this got started...

amount o f mood music can make up for lousy food — but what really counts here is the way the place makes you feel, which should be cozy and quiet. Here are some o f the places that get it right.

hoosing the right restau rant for a romantic dinner is almost as tricky as find ing the right person to share it with. There are plenty o f places to fill your stomach, but what about your heart and soul? Its hard to warm up to someone when you are sitting by the front door, and it’s 20 below, or when an overhead spotlight is accentuating the bags under your eyes. While some o f our most indelible romantic moments are the results o f serendipitous misadventure, there are certain times when it’s best to stack the cards in your favor. Someone once said, “No man is lonely while eating spaghetti; it requires so much attention.” When seeking a romantic evening, look for the opposite. Think o f it this way. The restaurant, the food, the service, the wine, the other din ers, are all just a setting — a stage for you and your darling to drift: away from the daily grind for a few hours. The two

Yellow Dog, W inooski The glow from the big win dows on Canal Street draws you right into this Edward Hopper painting o f a restaurant, illfated as the location has been to its predecessors. The warm col ors and casual, simple style make this a fine refuge for two. Sitting inside looking out at traffic hurrying back and forth somehow slows you down long enough to notice each other.

Daily Planet, Burlington This downtown bistro offers a three-step approach to romanc ing: the smoky bar, where you can meet your true love; the greenhouse, where you actually speak to eachother, and the funky dining room, to seal the deal with stellar salads. Bella Luna, Warren For those seduced by bustling, casual Italian tratto rias, this is the spot. Good Italian reds poured into tum blers and the casual, gutsy food speaks the language o f love, er, amove. Go late or you may end up sharing a large table with a family on ski vacation from New Jersey. M arys at Baldwin Creek, Bristol With its bucolic setting and storybook name, this reincarna tion o f an old Bristol haunt exudes country charm and comfort. The small dining rooms and cheerful staff may make you want to consider staying for the bed-and-breakfast thing as well. Iron Wolf, Burlington You’ll feel special just get ting in the door o f this ususual, albeit somewhat eccentric, restaurant. On a busy Saturday night, the proprietress greeted with us an incredulous “Food? Not without a reservation.” This is not the place to go if you need help keeping up a conversation, but if you truly like quiet restaurants and love good food, check it out. Cafe Shelburne, Shelburne From the lace curtains to the warm, shaded table lamps to the indescribably delicious cuisine, Cafe Shelburne has that je ne sais quoi. .. to soften even the sharpest edge o f daily life. Your love should be as ten der as these meats. Pauline’s, Shelburne You would never know from the peaceful interior of this intimate eatery that it was smack dab on busy Shelburne Road. Upstairs is more formal than down, but both are cou ple-conscious. The waitstaff plays right along, giving only as much, or as little, attention as you need. Chef’s Table, Montpelier The deep red walls o f the newest New England Culinary outlet are the right color for romance. Nestled in a comfy chair overlooking Main Street, Montpelier, you’ll want to move in. Too many cooks make this broth even better. Drink up.

One n. One failed contraception. A anxiety-filled waiting period. Less familiar — even to some obstetricians and gynecologists — is an emergency post-coital pregnancy-preventing measure that is already legal. Dubbed the “morning after pill,” it’s the best-kept secret in American reproductive medicine. The course is simple and relatively safe, albeit somewhat nauseating. Within 72 hours o f unprotected intercourse, a woman takes, two prescribed doses o f Ovral, a birdi-control pill containing both estrogen and proges terone. If she can keep the pills down, the method is 75 percent effective in preventing a possible pregnan cy. At four dol lars, its afford able. For two decades, its been available. So why has n’t emergency contraception become part o f the birth-control lexicon? All the other “pre-coital” options get air play in sex education classes and the main stream media. The issue once again comes down to defining conception. It’s the “after-sex” aspect that poses the moral dilemma. No one is sure whether the morning-after pill stops fertil ization o f the egg or prevents its implantation in the uterine wall. Regardless, most health officials classify emergency con traceptive pills (ECPs) as con traceptives. “It’s a birth-control method that prevents pregnan cy after sex,” asserts Hanna

According ta Leitner, several Surgi^kl prpcedCirfc* can be used to remove tattoos, such as cutting then closing the skin or applying a skin graft, but the most effective method is laser surgery. This docs hot cut or burn the skin and is considered fairly painless the effect has been likened to a rubber band snapping the skin. Tattoo art is removed when the laser breaks up the ink pigment into sm ap F p aru des, allowing them to be carried away by the body’s defense mechanisms. “With laser surgery, there are fewer risks and the results are better than having a big scar, but this is not to say that we get rid o f 100 percent o f the tat too 100 percent o f the time,” says E^itnen T h e size. it can be completely remo\ Remember, insurance companies aren't clamoring to

cover thisVTwo to five treatments costing $70 $300 each are generally needed, Leitner says. He adds that he’s had more success removing black rather than colored pigments. I f your choice o f tattoos is the problem, but you don’t want to deal with surgery, the easiest and most “covered up” with a new tattoo. "About 40 percent o f the work we do is covering up tattoos," says Mel May, a tattoo artist at the Tattoo Company in Burlington — whose camou flage work includes a lot o f names. May offers the practical suggestion that this type o f cover-up can be sidestepped by avoiding such a permanent display o f affection in the first place. “We try to tell people, “Why don’t you just put a symbol there instead,” but there are still people who want the name [of their boyfriend or girl friend], unfortunately. So we say, “Ok, we’ll see you in a couple years.” ” Thibault agreed that many people are too whimng £ tattoo I

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I’ve ghostwritten a personal ad for you to give to your Valentine or place in your local papers classifieds: “ I am impossible to live with... but then, isnt everyone? I will drive you crazy... but in the most interesting ways possible. You don’t want to get mixed up with m e... unless you love to have every one o f your certainties challenged and unless you get horny in the face o f unimaginable adventures and unless you’re ready to never be bored again.”

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): I’ve ghostwritten a personal ad for you to give to your Valentine or place in your local paper’s classifieds: “Do you have a dancer’s body, a writer’s mind, an artist’s hands and an underwear model’s face? If so, you’re probably too slick for me. I’m a down-to-earth magician who loves gritty reality far more than glittery fantasies. Like the skilled Japanese pottery-makers whose work is valued for its trademark blemishes, I thrive on lifes imperfections, fll love you for who you are, not who you might be

(June 21-July 22): I’ve ghostwritten a personal ad for you to give to your Valentine or place in your local paper’s classifieds: “Come into my Soul Kitchen, baby. Slink into my Big Yumyum and let me stoke your forbidden pleasures. I’ve got goodies for you, sweetheart. I’ve got got honey kisses and dazzle-nectar, ambrosial caresses and strawberry pancake breakfasts in bed, forever and ever, amen. Feel your mouth water? Feel your mind and heart unite in their craving for my delicious feast? Give in to the magic, sweetheart. Slip into my Soul Kitchen and let’s fill each other up. Now please repeat after me: All I want is everything.’ (P.S. Free jelly doughnuts to all comers.)”

from giving and getting all the love I deserve. My karmic debts are all paid up, at least the romantic ones! So what do you say we celebrate? I’m no expert at guiltless fun, but I’m willing to learn at the hands o f a master. If you smell good and know how to make love with your mind as well as your body, that’s the only love spell I need.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’ve ghostwritten a personal ad for you to give to your Valentine or place in your local paper’s classifieds: “Tired of both boringly nice goodie-goodies and menacing lunatics trying to pass off their pathologies as ‘sexy’? I’m the happy medium, sweetheart: a crafty straddler o f the mysterious edge where yes and no overlap, where the difference between bad and good just ain’t that simple. Give me the chance to wow you with my mastery o f the contradictions. Let’s drink in the twisted lyrics o f a Marilyn Manson C D , then attend a New Age workshop rtlf linw to m m m G ranJnm

SA GITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’ve ghostwritten a personal ad for you to give to your Valentine or place in your local paper’s classifieds: “If you think a hundred words can describe me adequately, you obviously need a more superficial lover with a brain far emptier than mine. I’m so crammed full of dreams and schemes that being with me is like having three different lovers at the same time. Think you can keep up? Then let the experiments begin. I’ll be your wild-eyed, smart mouthed, spread-eagled muse if you’ll be mine.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’ve ghostwritten a personal ad for you to give to your Valentine or place in love me just because I’m soattn

your local paper’s classifieds: “Taking long walks under the moonlight, sipping wine and holding hands during candlelit dinners, listening to creamy love ballads in front o f a roaring fire: H ELL NO! #% A& * that! Instead, let’s scream ’7 0 s songs at the top o f our lungs as we run down the middle o f the street after midnight carrying a greased pig! Or let’s go windsurfing off the coast o f Madagascar and then get it on in a tidal pool downwind from a tribe of alligators! Or let’s trade clothes and rollerblade out to the closest bridge for a no-holds-barred spitting-into-thewind contest!”

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I’ve ghostwritten a personal ad for you to give to your Valentine or place in your local paper’s classifieds: “I’m the one! Pick me for your mission impossible! I’m the one! Pick me to help you storm the kingdom o f heaven! Everybody’s somebody’s fool; let me be yours! I have no shame and I want no limits! I give till it hurts and if you’re smart you’ll let me teach you how! So / me in a sanctuary! Amaze me --- jur r
