TYPEWRITER ACTIVIST

iflk ^ ^^^^ ^^ ^ ^ ^

Peter Freynes article, "Hard Pressed" (Seven Days, March 6), v was as clear, comprehensive, concise and objective as any journalism I've ever read. Free of the cutesy tone of "Inside Track," Peter is a top-notch reporter. Anthony Chavez, however ("Where White is Right?" March 13), points correctly to Peter's (gratuitous, not racist) remark on Rodney Patterson's continuance in office under Mayor Brownell. Otherwise, Chavez is mostly wrong: In thinking "local blacks" is less derogatory than "members of the Burlington African-American community." (If you write about me, call me a "local white," please. In context.) In complaining of the verbatim extracts from Teetor's and Metzger's articles. (How can we judge the accuracy of someone else's "concise summary"?) In thinking "Ni—ers" is less offensive in print than "niggers." (If Shirley Hill really "belted" someone for calling her that, good for her!) And in seeming to feel that he, Chavez, is embarrassed when Peter shouts at him in public. (If that really happened, the shouter, not the shoutee, bears the opprobrium.) On the other hand, in calling

onlookers "a gaggle," does Chavez mean to liken them to geese?) I commiserate with him over the circulation of his "draft" Op Ed piece. But wouldn't he be offended if Peter were to write an article derogatory of him and not give him a chance to answer it in the same issue? Chavez might really be shy, but typewriter activism is the same as soapbox preaching: If you stand up and shout, people can and will shout back. — Fred Hill

Burlington NO WINNERS

It has been amusing in the Paul Teetor trial seeing the Free Press editors revealed as the gang-who-couldn't-fire-straight. There's little doubt after the testimony that Paul Teetor was fired at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. At the same time, you won't find any Vermont reporters or editors who knew Paul Teetor putting a white hat on him or lamenting his firing. From the day that Teetor — as many people have forgotten — got his break with the Rutland Heraldby crossing picket lines as a strikebreaker ("scab," in the union parlance), his abrasive style, ethics and greatly inflated view of his talents haven't exactly done wonders for Vermont journalism. Despite all the editorializing about gutless Gannett "McPaper" PC ethics and its bottom-line mentality, the ultimate truth — and other story here — is that P h o t o g r a p h e r s , w a n t to show off your stuff?

Teetor has always been his own worst enemy and was going to get himself fired sooner or later for entirely legitimate reasons. The amusing irony is that the Free Press editors had even less on the ball and gave Teetor unnecessary grounds for a lawsuit, and that former Editor Ron Thornburg actually wooed Teetor away from the Rutland Herald, which shows how out of touch he must have been. There were no winners here. — Andrew Nemethy

Adamant M O R E TRIALS

High 5's to Peter Freyne and Seven Days for coverage of Teetor vs. Gannett. If anything, expand it. — Tony Cuccinello

Burlington POLISHING THE DIAMOND Let me clear up a few things. I greatly appreciated Paula Routly's attending my sneak screening of Diamond Run. I made some last-minute adjustments to the film after the screening, partially based on Paula's suggestions. It's great to get perspective on a film by watching it with an audience. I only take issue with Paula on one small point, she said "Giancola cares more about action than acting" ("Backtalk," Seven Days, February 14) What I really said was that I prefer story over character in my films. There is a distinct difference in these statements. But I need Paula Routly. Without media support of my film I might as well not bother putting a bulb in the projector during the premiere. Seven Days has done a great job covering local filmmakers with wit and style — take a look at its excellent coverage of Man With a Plan. Still, the coverage of our film by the media in general has been poor so far, and my friend Jeff Haig has a right to be touchy. This is our second Vermont feature film and we have had less coverage than... well, hey, I can't think of a comparison, because if a film isn't covered well, we forget about it. I could whine all day (independent filmmakers are really good at whining, and I shamefully admit that I could lead the pack), but the bottom line is that Paula is one of the few people who has seen Diamond Run, and only she knows whether it is "the feel-good movie of the summer," "the hit film of 1996,",or "one of the best unintentional comedies of the year," and she promised she wouldn't tell until I release it this May — which she hasn't. Thank you, Paula. (P.S. If you want to find out before May, Diamond Run premieres in Rutland on April 11.) — David Giancola

RALPH WRIGHT signs copies of his new Look

All Politics Is Personal at

C h a s s m a n & Bern SIH OF OMISSION: The absence of a nomination for Seven raises questions about "Academic" sensibilities. f you were 68 years old, only got out one night a year and had put away that much Dom Perignon, you wouldn't know exactly what you were doing, either. The Academy Awards have come to a crossroads. Over the past 15 years the movies have changed. So, too, have the way they are made and the people making them. Not to mention the people paying to see them. Conspicuously due for a change, however, is the annual ceremony which celebrates them as Monday night's overlong and underwhelming festivities made clear. While the average age of Oscarwinners has declined, the age of people producing the broadcast has gone in the opposite direction. Independent filmmakers have impacted the business from every corner of the country, but the mindset pervading the ceremony has remained insular and defiantly old-Hollywood. That's why I say the Academy Awards is a show in search of a soul — or at least a jazzy new logo. Ask yourself this question: what is this evening all about? If you answered the year's finest films, you obviously haven't been paying attention. What's all this nuttiness about clothes? First, the major networks put aside more airtime

for pre-Oscar programming than for coverage of all the presidential primaries to date this year, and they spent most of that time talking about Expensive Designerwear. And then, once the ceremonies finally kick off, what's the first order of business? Clothes. An almost interminable parade of costumes. Ooooh, look — it's the Calvin Klein underwear guy dressed up as Richard III!

result, to my eyes, smacks of youngsters playing dress-up with mommy and daddy's stuff. And I've got an idea: How about we save the pop stars for the music-award shows? I don't know about you, but when I'm an hour-plus into the Oscars and they've handed out only four awards, Brian Adams is the last guy I want to see. I want him deported to Canada on the first bullet train. When they hand out Grammies, you don't see . Quentin Tarantino holding up the show with some film he's directed. What are Top-40 singers doing in the middle of the Oscars? And while we're cutting this baby down to, say, a lean, mean three hours or so, let me suggest this: lifetime achievement awards or special tributes — not both. As Monday's broadcast made abundantly clear, Hollywood has a rich, proud history and a long, distinguished list of founding fathers and mothers. But look, we've all got to get our beauty sleep, and we can't really celebrate the past, present and future of filmmaking all in one night. I say the Academy should leave the Oscar ceremonies to the people making motion pictures today and tomorrow. A

As Monday s broadcast made abundantly clear, Hollywood has a rich, proud history and a long, distinguished list of founding fathers and mothers. But look, we've all got to get our beauty sleep, and we can't really celebrate the past, present and future of filmmaking all in one night. My sense is that clothing has become more interesting as movie stars have gotten duller. In the Age of Alicia, we may not have actresses with the glamor, sexual voltage and alluring worldliness they had in Hollywood's Golden Age, but hell if we don't have a wide assortment of gowns and formal menswear. Every numbnut and his anorexic airhead date pops for Armani and a limo, but the

he only thing India and Franklin County, Vermont would seem to have in common is the same home planet. Yet some universal verities exist: family, labor, poverty, faith — and sacred cows. Two photography exhibits at the Fleming Museum this spring highlight both the obvious cultural divide and a common humanity on opposite sides of the globe.

each other mutually exotic. In "Puja and Prasad: A Portrait of India," Burlington photographer Elizabeth Messina presents black-andwhite portraiture of workers, children, holy men, barbers, wrinkled elders. These are not "vacation shots," and as a whole they don't tell us very much about India other than what its people look like. Messina gives us her subjects without context other than glimpses of ancient architecture. Since the majority of us have not traveled there, our preconceptions about India are left to reconnoiter with hers. A degree of cultural "Rajasthan 2-11-95, " by Elizabeth Messina voyeurism was probably

Their co-existence on different floors of the Museum is an ironic parallel to the contents of each. Both women have distilled the essence of ordinary humans in everyday life — humans who would surely find

ferent experience from that in an urban setting. Her 22 prints in the lower level of the Fleming correspond to a survey she sent out in 1992 to women in northwestern Vermont. Not surprisingly, "Rural Women/ Rural Women's Issues" revolves around families, labor, domestic

unavoidable, however, Messina is an acute observer of the individual — facial expressions and gestures appear natural even when the subject is fully complicit. Messina is unafraid to elicit direct eye contact; her subjects' stares are penetrating,

beseeching, hypnotic. But in one of the most unsettling shots — featuring three elderly female pilgrims with closecropped hair and white saris — the gazes are elsewhere. The women give the impression of infinite resignation. Messina has an intuitive grasp of composition and a quick eye for the circumstantial. Her crystalline prints are largeformat (16 x 20 inches) and enriched by a textural graininess. Though she has shot in varying light conditions — extreme shadow, candlelight, silouettes against blazing glare — the most compelling are virtually flat. In these, such as a classic madonna-and-child print, the subtle interplay of light and shadow on metallic bangles, folds of fabric is as evocative as sculpted marble.

violence and money — or lack thereof. To her credit, Sheperd neither romanticizes nor demeans the rural life or the women she encounters; her documentation is compassionate but clear-eyed. Some of Sheperd's fine-grained black-and-white photos are photojournalistic images of hard work — a woman plowing a field, milking a cow. Others are tableaux of families, including her own. These are consistent with Sheperd's bread-andbutter work at her Enosburg studio: natural portraits that say more about her subjects than what they look like. But at one point in her career Sheperd discovered the power of ambiguity — she says

sprinkles blades or ^MCW grass over his infant brother. People's macabre interpretations of the scene inspired Sheperd to seek out ambiguous moments through her lens. She's become very good at it. In "Guns and Tub," for instance, the arm of an adult juts into the frame pointing a gun toward a crying toddler in a bathtub. The shock of the photo evaporates when Sheperd explains that in reality the parent had just removed the child's squirtgun, which he had been shooting liberally around the room. Sheperd acknowledges that people see what they want to see in an image. The power of her maybe-disturbing images was good enough for the Center for Photography in "Woodstock- New York; they've taken two photos that will later tour to England. Her Fleming show reveals an artist who can imply stories, and their power is their ambivalence. • " P u j a and P r a s a d : A P o r t r a i t of I n d i a , " p h o t o g r a p h s by Elizabeth Messina; and " R u r a l Women/Rural Women's Issues," p h o t o g r a p h s by M a r t h a Lynde S h e p e r d .

pecific facets of Free Press coverage draw mixed reviews from individuals active in various fields. Philip Bither, programming director for the Flynn Theater, says the paper does recognize that "there's a higher degree of interest in cultural activities in Burlington than in other cities of its size." Editors are open to suggestions for improving cultural coverage, Bither adds. He points, however, to the Free Press "difficulty in finding qualified critics" for some types of performances. Bither also testifies to the papers power, noting that audience size at the Flynn is often proportional to the amount of preview coverage the Free Press gives to an event there. Doreen Kraft, head of Burlington City Arts, views the paper's cultural coverage as "inadequate and often inaccurate." Echoing a common criticism, Kraft says the problem stems from unfamiliarity with the local context on the part of the Free Press many novice reporters. The paper gives a negative spin to public safety issues in the Church Street area and in the Old North End, according to several merchants and residents. "When something bad happens on Church Street it's big news," says Brooke Hadwen, coowner of Howdy Wear. "The Free Press sometimes makes it appear there's no crime anywhere else in Burlington." "Whenever something positive happens in this community, we say, 'Where's the paper now?" comments Adline DuBose, an African-American resident of the Old North End. "You never see the press at certain events we have at the Boys and Girls Club," adds DuBose, a member of the club's board. "Yes, there's crime and other bad things here, but you can find the same stories in Charlotte or South Burlington if you look for them." Old North End City Councilor Jane Knodell agrees coverage of the neighborhood is "overly negative." The Free Press has run few stories on the selfhelp programs undertaken through the $3 million federal Enterprise Community grant, says the Progressive. Knodell also faults the paper's reporting on statewide issues, saying, "Sometimes it's almost as though there's a news blackout." Nancy Chioffi adds that the paper's coverage of the State Legislature has suffered from the termination of Candy

Page's analytical column on developments in Montpelier. The Free Press tries too hard to cover the entire state, says Jeanne Popecki, a columnist for the monthly North Avenue News. "They call themselves 'Vermont's newspaper,' but in trying to be everything to everybody they've wound up being nothing to no one," Popecki asserts. Many years ago, she recalls, "you'd find all kinds of local stuff in the Free Press. It gave a real sense of Burlington as a community. That's not the case now." Many New North Enders also think the Free Press has a liberal bias in its reporting, says City Councilor Deforge. She calls its coverage of local government "adequate at the very most." North End Councilor Kurt Wright, a Republican, adds that many shoppers at Kerry's Kwik Stop, where he works, criticize the paper for a lack of depth as well as for its allegedly liberal leanings. "I wish there were another daily that would give them competition to make them more thorough and responsive," Wright says. The Free Press monopoly status comes up again and again in interviews with the paper's critics. Weekly papers provide some degree of competition, notes Chioffi, who believes the Free Press improved arts reporting is a response to the weeklies'

The dark days of the "80s are definitely over at the Free Press. -Pat Robins strength in that area. But the Free Press doesn't need to concern itself with such would-be competitors, argues Messenger publisher Lynn. "Its the 800-pound gorilla of Vermont journalism." Citing its comparatively huge circulation and profits, Lynn suggested the Free Press can do what it wants. Monopoly advantages and ownership by a mammoth corporation make it especially difficult for the Free Press to be selfcritical, adds Steve Terry. "I would have been embarrassed, were I editor of that paper, to have no sustained coverage of my paper being in effect on trial in the Teetor case," Terry comments. "It's things like this that don't give readers confidence in the institution." â&#x20AC;˘ march

} F r a r ^ ; M c D o i m a t i d gives the performance of brothers. , her career in the Coen brothers latest. Based on . events in Minnesota during the late '80s, Fargo is a touching, oddball masterwork about a spineless nitwit who hires a couple of brutes (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife so that he can get his hands on the money his wealthy father-in-law will be forced to pay as ransom. Bill Macy is superb as the bumbling weasel, but McDormands portrait of the local police chief steals the show. Pregnant to the point of waddling, and possessing a speed-of-light lucidity, McDormands character is like something David Lynch mightve come up with after watching an all-night marathon of "Columbo" reruns. There's a magical mixture of sweetness and strength to this performance, just as the film manages to strike a stylized balance between the stark and the lyrical. Diabolique, on the other hand, is a semi-asinine remake of the 1955 French classic about an abusive headmaster offed by his wife and mistress. Chazz "Can I trash my career any faster?" Palminteri follows his role as an abusive husband in the malodrous Jade with this merry exercise in miscasting. (When was the last time you visited a posh boarding school and the guy in charge looked like he got his start in Godfather 7/7?) The lovely yet curiously annoying Isabelle Adjani plays the abused wife. Sharon Stone co-stars as the £ tttf^ abused mistress who manipulates her into committing the murder. Stones character is the sort of hard-boiled cliche who couldn't give directions to a lost motorist without saying something barbed. Halfway into diis stilted, pointless, clumsily-stylized vacuum whooshes Kathv Bates like a breath of fresh air as a detective who suspects foul play behind the schoolmasters disappearance. For a while she slaps us awake and offers hope for the picture with her interpretation of this no-nonsense ex-cop — a woman who has survived cancer and sure as hell isn't about to let a little thing like a chain-smoking blond get in her way. Alas, before long even she is swallowed up by the film's silliness. If you have a hankering for '90s noir, skip this addled remake and take in a true original. Dark filrnmak- _ ers don't get any brighter than Joel and Ethan Coen. H^p^H

Your best preparation for this weeks comic horrors will be to don a rainbow fright wig, get a nose ring with a Barney-the-dinosaur charm dangling off, and wear your clothes inside-out.

GEMINI (May 21-June'20): Forget about getting any help from anyone. Resign yourself to exploring the primal depths of self-sufficiency. If you find yourself entertaining the slightest hope of being rescued or taken care of, switch your thoughts immediately to Lily Tomlins advice, "Just remember, we're all in this alone." APRIL FOOL! I lied! In reality, you'll be at the hub of a network buzzing with juicy activity. You'll be a magnet. A catalyst. A purveyor of inside dope and useful connections. You need only to imagine the person whose assistance you need and he or she will call within the hour. Schmooze, baby, schmooze. CANCER (June 21-July 22): I predict that at some time this week you will be walking down the street when suddenly you spy a runaway baby carriage skidding into an intersection, whereupon you will instantly drop the packages you're carrying, break into a gallop, clamber over a parked car, and grab die carriage just before it rolls into the path of a bus. After a T V news show hails you as a hero, a local philanthropist will buy you a new car, you'll be asked to be the keynote speaker at a college graduation ceremony, and a VIP who's always ignored you will suddenly want to be your friend. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said is a total fabrication, except for one thing. You will be a hero (although no one may know except me and you). L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Be more polite than you've ever been in your entire life. Observe all rules and laws- — especially the unwritten ones —- with fanatical faithfulness. Spend most of your time eating microwaved T V dinners while watching infomerdals, shopping for junk you dont need in malls designed by soulless architects, and working in poorly ventilated areas with no natural light. Be ultra-civilized! APRIL FOOL! In reality, Leo, you have a mandate this week to socialize exclusively with rivers and mountains. I advise you to schedule a tea party with the moon, and to gossip with a grove of oaks. Ask a crazy question of die dawn, and tell a secret to the springs first butterfly. Be a smart animaL

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It'll be a good week to have a spotted-owl barbecue, to lobby in behalf of huge welfare giveaways for obscenely rich corporations, and to propound an anti-abortion position that's merely a disguise for a loathing of sexual freedom and a fear of women's empowerment. APRIL FOOL! It's never okay to act like I just described, even if the astrological aspects might render it easy to get away with. The real fact of the matter is that it'll be a good week to listen to welfare mothers' dreams, to pray that fundamentalists are liberated from their grotesque hatreds, and to lobby for a new law that makes it illegal to own more than $5 million. APRIL FOOLED Y O U AGAIN! The even more ultimate truth about this week is that it'll be a great time to make fun of your most hallowed beliefs. LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I predict that this week someone with whom you were lovers in a past life will dump soup in your lap. This will lead to a rekindling of your connection and ultimately result in the two of you inventing technology that will make deserts bloom all over the world and end food shortages forever. APRIL FOOL' I was exaggerating. It's true that you will revive a romantic myth this week And it's also true that this could bring fertility back to a wasteland. But I can't say whether it'll benefit anyone else besides yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I predict that you'll quit your job so you can devote yourself full-time to procuring new employment as a spy disguised as a prostitute. APRIL FOOL' Your need to express yourself more creatively in your work will indeed tempt you to throw your haid-earned security out the window, but you'll decide against it. Instead you'll try to subdy revolutionize your current gig. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 2 2 - D e c 21): This week you'll have Catholic flashbacks even if you've never been a Catholic In your mind's eye, an imaginary nun will smash a ruler down on your hand everytime you daydream about playing doctor with a special-friend Furthermore, your flying dreams will always be interrupted by the arrival of a swarm of starched archbishops; who'll force you to come down to earth and comport yourself more sensibly. APRIL FOOL' This could be one of the most guilt-free weeks on record. Without breaking the law or sabotaging your future, you can pull off adventures you've never risked before. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I predict your hunger will be so bottomless that you'll gorge yourself with mountains of food, and as a result you'll gain 10 pounds of ugly fat in one week APRIL FOOL! The truth is that you will realize your relendess hunger is spiritual in nature, and can't be satisfied by mere food Forced to delve deeper for the meaning of your insatiable and obsessive feelings, you'll uncover the roots of a surprising need that you have been suppressing for months. AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Just forget about saving the world, will you, Aquarius? Please, before it's too late and you turn into a totally deluded fanatic, dump all your airy-fairy idealism and give in to being a grunting narcissist like the rest of us. Haven't you figured out yet that dreams are for kids, not grownups? APRIL FOOD Everything I just said is sort of true, but only for the next two weeks —- certainly not after that. Enjoy this respite from your Utopian fantasies. It'll make you a better rebel when you're ready to bear down and fight for diem again.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): This week I predict you'll quit your job so you can devote all your time to surfing the Internet in search of the perfect mystical advice that will cinch your chances of winning the lottery. APRIL FOOL! In actuality, I predict that though you'll flirt with wacky schemes to heighten your financial security, reading my horoscope will immunize you against doing anything rash or stupid. Instead you'll make a very smart decision about money. • © Copyright 1996

century's worth of history deserves a show of its own. Theoretically, this is an evening devoted to the magical teamwork that makes good movies. I, for one, would like to see more time and depth applied to giving us a glimpse of the people and the process involved. We could, for example, forgo running trailers of nominated films â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by late March, who hasn't already seen these dozens of times? In my book, a minute of getting to I know the guy who wrote The Usual Suspects would have been preferable to an hour of music from Pocahontas. A little clarity in the categories wouldn't hurt, either. This year the awards not only kept me way past my bedtime. They left me tossing and turning through the night as I tried in vain to crack ancient mysteries like, "How is it possible for someone to direct the Best Picture, but not be the Best Director?" and "What's the difference between "Best Sound Effects," "Best Sound Effects Editing" and "Best Sound?" Sounds like a reasonable request to me. As for the 5000 or so members of the Academy, maybe they should get out and see more movies. Sure, all the films nominated for Best Picture this year were fine films, but were they really the finest?. The absense of a nomination for Seven alone throws members' sensibilities into question. And where was the recognition due significant works like Kids, The Crossing Guard, Nixon and To Die For? Nicholas Cage spent a fair chunk of the last decade making nonsense like Fire Birds, Zandalee, Vampire's Kiss and Trapped in Paradise. Is that because he's a better actor than Anthony Hopkins? All we know for sure is that the Oscars haven't kept pace with the times. They're stale, with one foot in the Age of Alicia and the other still back in the Golden Age. The Academy has to decide whether it wants to be a showcase for meaningful, cuttingedge filmmaking, or a curator of Hollywood memories and traditions. Whoopi Goldberg is fine. She's funny. But is she the future? Too bad the Academy gave up on David Letterman before he could iron out his Oscar vision. After all, this is a guy who singlehandedly transformed latenight television. Given the chance, he could probably manage to whip a once-a-year awards show into shape, too. But it blew its chance to find out. And that may turn out to be the Stupidest Human Trick of all. â&#x20AC;˘
