ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE Mary Church in nearby Slidell, Louisiana, began posting guards to make sure parish ioners swallow communion wafers.

W HERE’S FREYNE? I gave your Web address to an online friend in Hawaii, ’cause I wanted him to see how brilliant [Peter] Freyne’s columns are. Why don’t you have Freyne on your Web site? People across the country are waiting to read his biting politi cal humor. — Sherry Russell Montpelier D O N ’T BASH COOPS Whatever happened to real stories about real issues? For the second time in only a few months you have done an op-ed piece on how co-ops are “bag ging their ideals” under the guise o f a news story. Both the March 19 story (“Food Coops”) and the earlier story on Hunger Mountain talk about dismayed members without any indication o f just who is dissatisfied and why. And your reporter opines an astounding amount o f misin formation. Consumer owner ship o f stores is not something that sprang out o f the political idealism o f the ’60s — the Hanover (NH ) Co-op has been around since 1936. Recreation Equipment Inc. and the Harvard Coop also had consid erable operating histories before the Age o f Aquarius, and the Adamant Co-op, right here in central Vermont, has been around for decades! Your reporter asserts that members support their co-op “because it’s an alternative to business as usual.” That alternative can be simply stated as community ownership and democratic member control. Despite the beliefs o f your reporter, co-ops are not inherently non-hierarchical, committed solely to bulk sales or restricted to selling spaces that are so narrow that they barely allow passage o f shopping carts. Co-ops are businesses that exist to provide a pos itive return to their owner/members. While “return” can be defined and measured in a lot o f ways, continued financial losses make it impossi ble for the co-op to provide any type o f return. Your reporter could have covered how these community-owned businesses are stepping to the plate and responding to the market in an era o f shrinking margins, superstores and hundreds of so-called “natural” products. Or she could have written about the market opportunities that co ops have provided for Vermont’s fruit and veg etable growers, bakers, cheese makers and spe cialty food producers. Growing companies in any fast-paced indus try need to be flexible enough to respond to the needs of their customers, employees and owners. Unlike Grand Union, Price Chopper or other superstores, the business decisions lo Vermont s co-ops, from good and bad, are right out there for all o f us to see and comment upon. That, in

itself, is part o f the reaosn we should be celebrat ing our local co-ops and not trashing them. — Nancy Wasserman Montpelier HEALTH CARELESSNESS Mucho thanks to Peter Freyne for speaking out against the evils of “Crappy Health Plan’s” mismanaged care (Inside Track, March 19). I too was told not to fret when I became ill five years ago. Then, two days later, I was high-tailing it to the emergency room with a 104-degree fever and pneumonia. And then to top it off they tried to deny me coverage! Well, the latest chapter in CHP’s saga of uncaring ineptness is their new health guidelines. Just take a peek at their latest newsletter and you get an inkling of what these callous corporate creeps are up to. They recommend men 18-49 years of age to get a physical every 3-5 years, with not even a hint about a prostate examina tion. Women fare just as miserably from 40-49 years of age, with pap smears every three years and no recommendation of mammograms. So this is what CHP means when they utter the P-word: prevention. They want to prevent patients from having timely, proper examina tions, thus preventing CHP from having to fork out money for tests. Maybe their devious plan is to scare us into staying well. I know I m terrified o f becoming ill under the auspices o f CHP. Pass me the socialized medicine, please! — Frank DeAngelis Burlington

BOJO BASHING In the atrociously titled review, “Womb With a View” (March 26), Nancy Stearns Bercaw is probably congratulating herself on finding a cou ple o f apparent flaws in Chris Bohjalian’s book, Midwives. Her irritation with Sibyl’s “new age senti ment,” in her journal entries, is completely irrel evant. This was a part o f Sibyl’s personality as a child o f the ’60s, and not Chris’ fault. The jar gon she uses sounds ridiculous because it is oldfashioned — it is, however, authentic. As for the accusation of promotional refer ences to certain newspapers, only a journalist would notice that detail — it completely escaped me, though I do read newspapers. What began as a moderately interesting review ended as a mean-spirited attack on a respected author, who researches exhaustively to get to the heart of an issue. — Louise Blake Bristol

— Arnold Wright Blan, Sugar Hill, Georgia

V Justw henyou think you’ve answered all the truly vital ques tions, along comes something to make you realize you’ve barely scratched the surface. My initial idea was to tell you that | Looney Tunespid!|$fcrrie Melodies reflected the dichotomy 1 between the Apollonian arid Dionysian impulses or, if you will, the classical and romantic modes o f creative expression. Y However, this suffered from the obvious methodological defect

for more than one sentence. Next I decided to look at it from a purely mercenary aspect, which, given that we were talking about Hollywood, appeared to be a guaranteed route to success. The initial results were 1 promising. At the outset, at least, the two series were made under sepaji|e agreements between Warner Brothers and pro ducer Leon Schlesinger using separate production teams. The Looney Tunes series, created by Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising, was introduced in 1930. A blatant rip-off o f Disney s SiUy Symphonies series, each Looney Tune was required to have one full chorus from a song from a Warner feature film. The cartoons typically were run prior to the main feature at theaters, and the idea was that they would promote WB product. (Among other things, the company had various music-publish ing concerns,) The schedule called for a new cartoon approxi mately once a month. The Tunes were immediately popular, and the following year Warner commissioned Schlesinger to produce a sister series called Merrie Melodies, which also appeared monthly. (The vol ume o f cartoons fluctuated in later years, but the two series were always produced in roughly equal numbers.) At this point Harman and Ising divided responsibilities, with Harman in charge o f Looney Tunes and Ising handling the Melodies. Merrie Melodies also featured Warner songs, but, where Tunes had regular characters, Melodies for the most part were oneshots, without continuing characters. Another difference was that Melodies were shot in color starting in 1934, while Tunes stayed black and white. In my younger days I would have stopped right there. However, if there’s one thing I’ve learned in this business. Its that you can never overestimate the anality o f film and anima tion buffs. Someone would inevitably have made the following observations: ( 1) By the late 1930s regular characters started appearing in Merrie Melodies, and by the 1940s the same characters were appearing interchangeably in both series. (2 ) Some o f Schlesinger s production people switched freely back and forth between series. (3) Looney Tunes were shot in color after 1943. (4) Leon Schlesinger retired in 1944, and Warner Brothers began doing cartoon production in-house, after which time 1 ‘ (and probably long before which time) there was no reason to n p ^ 1tj|n any distinction between Looney Tunes and Merrie, Melodies. The two separate series titles persisted because, you

lot o f my friends were asking me last week if I’d seen the [ Academy Awards. “Did you watch the Oscars?” is how they 1,put it, varying the question only slighdy from the week before, when they all wanted to know where I’d be watching the Oscars. On the night o f the broadcast, six people called me up between 9 and midnight to ask if I was, as w e spoke, watching the Oscars, and when I said (hat I wasn’t, that I was reading a fascinating book about kidney transplants, they acted surprised. “You’re not serious!” they exclaimed. “You have to watch the Oscars. Its your heritage! You owe it to your people!” My friends are not only bent, I fear, but woefully out o f touch with the times. It is absolutely not necessary to watch the Oscars — you haven’t got a chance in hell o f escaping them _even if you wanted to. I’ve seen only one o f the five films that were nominated for Best Picture this year, yet I can discuss them all, as if I’d made them myself. I am intimately acquainted with their plots, casts, characters, scripts, musical scores and what-not. I know how much they cost to produce, and how many dollars they’re expected to make overseas. Above all I’m aware that this was the Year o f the Independent Film, that the American people are clamoring for “smaller” movies with “human” themes, and that the era o f the Hollywood blockbuster is over — as fin Ignoring the ished as David Caruso, as defunct as Farrah and Ryan, as women is the only out as the Evita Look at Bloomingdale’s. aspect o f Irish cul From now on, I gather, ture The Devil s we’re going to be seeing kinder, gentler, less expensive films that Own gets right A ll speak to the true hearts and the rest is a slob soft heads o f this great nation. Which is why I wasn’t at all bering adolescent surprised to see Harrison Ford fantasy about guns, and Brad Pitt making goo-goo eyes at each other in The D evil’s the Emerald Isle Own, a film that only looks like an overblown, overpriced, an d Whaht-Aaction-packed, violence-ridden, Mahns-Got-Taphallus-worshiping exercise in American machismo. It’s really Dew, all o f it spo a tale o f male bonding and fab ken in accents so ulous haircuts on Staten Island, with just a wee bit o f interna phony you can see tional terrorism thrown in to show how hard it is for decent the leprechaun on men to be good when they the box-top. really care. You may have heard about The Devil’s Own already (ed. note: see Rick Kisonak’s review this issue). It got a lot o f publicity last fall when Brad Pitt told reporters that it was the worst movie ever made, “incomprehen sible” from start to finish, and so fraught with conflict and ten sion on the set that he, Brad, could barely talk a year later. (He can barely talk anyway, so you can imagine how bad things must have been.) Rumors o f a murderous rivalry between Brad and Harrison Ford made headlines on both coasts, but you’d never guess it watching them hug, hold hands and shoot pool in this soft-focused tribute to bullets and balls. Harrison plays a New York City cop who’s only fired his gun four times in 22 years. Brad’s an Irish terrorist who’s done noth ing but kill people since he saw his father gunned down before his eyes when he was “jest a lahd” in Belfast. The way they come to love one another in spite o f their differences is what gives the picture its erotic charge — that and the fact that the only women in The D evil’s Own are sent out o f the room at the first sign o f trouble, leaving Brad and Harrison free to lower their lashes and screw up their eyes in an endless depiction o f inartic ulate masculine emotion. Actually, ignoring the women is the only aspect o f Irish cul ture The D evil’s Own gets right. All the rest is a slobbering ado lescent fantasy about guns, the Emerald Isle and Whaht-AMahns-Got-Ta-Dew, all o f it spoken in accents so phony you can see the leprechaun on the box-top.

he “rats” have finally come out o f the woodwork at U.S. District Court in Burlington, where Billy Greer, Stephen Hutchins and four alleged co-conspirators stand trial in the biggest federal drug prosecution in Vermont history. Drug prosecutions have one common denominator: The cases are almost always built upon a foundation o f rats, snitches and informants. They’re the government wit nesses who betray their former associates in order to save their own necks. Quite simply, it’s the way the game is played. The trial by a 12-member federal jury, which enters its third week Thursday, is expect ed to last at least another month. For the past week, fed eral prosecutors have called to the witness stand a series o f for mer members o f the Greer/Hutchins “enterprise” who have decided to trade their testimony for lighter jail terms or no jail at all. So far their testimony has painted a picture o f a well-orga nized and thriving 1980s drug smuggling operation that emu lated the smuggling traditions of the Prohibition era. Only instead o f moving rum and whiskey into the United States, these smugglers moved marijua na and hashish northward into Canada. The enterprise utilized the services o f a dozen Burlington-area men to trans port the goods on their backs or via boat, snowmobile and all-terrain vehicle (ATV). On occasion, large amounts o f U.S. currency crossed the border in both directions as well. In 1989 members o f the Greer/Hutchins enterprise embarked on a new operation unlike anything that preceded it. They were involved in off loading huge shipments o f Pakistani hashish from a ship near the mouth o f the St. Lawrence River in northern Quebec. Under the supervision of French-Canadian “watchers,”

and about eight accomplices fled south. Several months later, they were extradited to Canada, where they served prison terms of up to four-and-a-half years. Upon their release in 1995 Greer and Hutchins returned to Vermont and were promptly indicted on federal charges of conspiracy to import and export as well as possess and distribute illegal drugs. The alleged “masterminds” were also charged with operating a “con tinuing criminal enterprise” — a charge that carries a mandato ry sentence of 20 years-to-life without parole.

they drove the hashish to a location 40 miles west of Montreal, where their Canadian counterparts took off with their vehicles and returned a day later with the drugs removed. The government claims the Canadian hash deal resulted from a link to a giant Amsterdam-based international crime syndicate called “Octopus.” Later in the trial, prosecutors are expected to call as a witness a Dutchman who is the first person in that country’s witness protection program.

ENTER HETFIELD The Burton Snowboard factory was abuzz last Thursday after the call came in: James Hetfield was on bis way. The Metallica singer/guitarist and a couple of roadies — on the road between Montreal and Boston — paid a visit and got the factory tour. “I guess they’re into boarding,” reports Lindy Pear frontman Craig Gurwich, a Burton employee. “He was using a cell phone to call someone else to order stuff.” Hey, even metalheads like to catch some air once in a while. WIRED Metronome owner Anne Rothwell has had her fingers crossed for weeks. A fifth anniversary only comes along once, and she wanted to throw a party with a difference — more than just cham pagne and hors d ’ouevres. Well, vive la difference Rothwell found what she was looking for right

under her nose, so to speak: an employee who turns out to be a high-wire artist. If you managed to peer upwards through the snow at Main Street and S. Winooski Ave. Monday, you’d have spotted the half-inch steel cable strung between the roofs of Nectar’s and Courthouse Plaza. T hat’s what aerialist Jade Kindar-Martin will be traversing this Wednesday night around eight — across and back again. But there won’t be any distracting traffic to worry about — Rothwell engaged the cooperation of the police to barricade the whole block for the event. Kindar-Martin, a 23-year-old Shelburne native who got his start in Circus Smirkus, has lived in France for the last three years and performs there with a nine-member troupe. After high school he attended L’Ecole National des Arts du Cirque, the circus school in Montreal. Then it was off to France, where he studied with the “god of tightrope,” Rudolph Omankowsky. “I was planning to go to NYU, but, I thought, why not do some thing different now while my body is supple?” Working at Metronome on the bar staff since C o n ti n u e d o n p a g e 1 0

But no. Imagine instead a Belly-ish unit whose lead singer has Betty Boop ten dencies and grew up listening to country. Popovia hints at pop, period. That voice belongs to Tammy Lynn, who also plays guitar and writes melodic, girl ish songs with titles like “Lavender Moses” and “Say Goodnight to the Cat Named After Mozart” that take turns kicking butt and wandering dreamily.

February, he’ll be heading back to France April 13, and will perform with his partner Didier Pasquette on a rope over the Thames this summer. In the meantime, Rothwell has had her own tightrope to walk: What with getting insur ance and permission from all the powers that be, pulling off this stunt has been a lot harder than doing it will be for the confident Kindar-Martin, who’s been walk ing the fine line for nine years. Still, bad weather could mean curtains for this act: “I don’t do sleet or hail,” he quips. But what about that Lake Champlain wind tunnel up Main Street?

I hope last, obituary in Rhythm &C News, sent in by Burlington resident Gary Sisco. Former Vermonter and H unt’s performer Jeffrey Frederick, of the Clamtones and Holy Modal Rounders, died of liver failure in Portland, Oregon, on March 15. He was “one of America’s all-time best tavern rockers,” reminisces Sisco. “His unforgettable songs and music were of a genre unto themselves, but reflected a deep love and knowledge of American music of all description — from the dark, cartoon world of Michael Hurley’s early songs, reaching back through the roots rock, doo-wop, and country music of the 1950s, to the rag time, rural and barrelhouse blues, Texas swing, and stringband clas sics of the 1920s and 1930s.”

Frederick’s ashes were placed in a mandolin by his widow. “America is a tamer, and lesser, place with out him ,” writes Sisco. R.I.P.

nearly two dozen pieces, mostly from Vermont composers. “We want to give them an outlet, a reason to write,” says Director Steve Klimowski, who plays publicist, and clarinet. “We are there to play music, not watch the clock.” Listeners at the upcoming anniversary concert should expect nothing less than “great est local hits of the 20 th centu ry” from Klimowski, his wife Bonnie, Jill Levis, Elizabeth Metcalfe, Elaine Greenfield and Thomas Read. But their unique sound comes from six seldomseen sources — eloquent, underappreciated composers united by location, love o f music and the continued exis tence o f a brave and devoted

But he is happy to explain how “Seven Poems by e.e. cummings” came about as a result o f a call from Klimowski. “I have always been quite nervous about vocal writing. I am surrounded by literary peo ple, so I am very respectful of words,” he explains. Shawn, son o f former New Yorker editor William Shawn, is married to novelist Jamaica Kincaid. His brother, Wally, was the stout actor featured in My Dinner With Andre. Allen wrote the score for the film. A professor at Bennington College, Shawn has written pieces for the Vermont Symphony, the Atlanta Ballet and clarinetist Benny

he life o f a composer has never been easy, or lucrative. Erik Satie sold pencils to finance his work. Bizet bid the world “adieu” thinking Carmen was a flop. Schubert died in the poorhouse, o f typhoid, after a bad winter in an unheated flat. They may not die quite so readily, but contemporary com posers are not much better off than their predecessors. Stuck between “popular” music and yellowing classics, their num bers have increased and their niche has narrowed. “Ideally people should be thrilled by the music o f their own time,” says Bennington composer Allen Shawn. “That is what a concert was in previ ous eras.” But the concert busi ness has changed a lot in the last few centuries — t;he court is now commer cial and play ers get paid according to union rules.

They weren’t their personal taste. “We love kidding around when they cotton.” And they’re totally over opened their “alternative to tra grunge and the latest poly ditional children’s clothing” in revival. The fact that “people downtown Burlington seven don’t necessarily wear what years ago.

QUEEN B'S Shoppers, they report, have a lot o f preconceived notions — Howdy Wear sometimes gets pegged as the playground for loco parentis. “Some people think you can’t put infants in bright colors because it will overpower them,” says Hadwen, who thoroughly disagrees. “We had one fabric that was so con troversial. It was a red-andwhite picnic-table fabric with ants printed all over it. Some loved it, some thought it was repulsive.” Parents, she adds — and especially dads — are extremely

And definitely no black for babies — “too mor bid.” But hang-ups aren’t just for grown-ups. Peer pressure can turn kids into clones. Ferro’s daughter Molly lived in animal prints until she went “princess” in her terrible twos. Hadwen’s son Drew had an early run-in with playground fashion police and now dresses like a typical 11-year-old. “In the third grade

he wore fuchsia and orange cir cus trousers and got punched out,” she says. “By the fourth grade it was very clear to him that boys don’t wear prints. One macho male in the class ruins it for everyone.” Still, Howdy Wear perse veres in its mission to make merry and money, while mock ing the mainstream. But it’s not just gender stereotypes they’re up against, it’s mass-merchan dising, where cheap is more important than durable. National stores like K-mart and C ontin ued on page 3 2

1989. You were there. At a Fastbacks show. Early, with a beautiful date. You know7the .sound man, so you’re on the list. You’ve told your date all about this new band that’s open ing —- a graphic designer pal of yours in Aberdeen just tipped you off, says they like to mess up sounds and then trash their gear, even though they’re all dirt poor. The band takes the stage. They say they live in a trailer park. It shows. Such clothes! Their jeans are all ripped. The drummer is wearing some tacky Tshirt. The bass player — God, he’s ugly — looks like Frankenstein’s mon ster. Who knew7the thrift shop had a bigand-tail section? Then there’s the leader. An absolute angel! A falling angel, maybe Lucifer himself, cast out of heaven. What else could explain such rage? The leader doesn’t wear a red cape or have horns or a tail, though. He’s got on a piece of clothing that says tranquillity, maturity and civility. It is a tattered cardigan. Anti it is green. The sweater, just like the music, says bliss. It says

CATALO G Slogans Heroes The Bad English T-Shirt The “btula” side is drab. The “pest” side, however, has plenty going lor it. All the expatri ates swim and get a good rtibdown for a buckthirty (with tip) at the local bath houses. Then they nosh on paprika potato stew and drink sweet liqueur all afternoon at one cafe or another. Most of the foreigners teach English two days a week, or write free lance articles once a month. And that pays all the bills. Sounds ideal, no? Well, the natives sure think so, anti they’ve set out to emulate their new heroes, Americans. St), how do the locals mimic us? By wearing T-shirts with supposed English-language catchphrases on them. On the shirts, any English will do, but bas ketball teams, rock bands and fast-food brand names arc the most desired components. A real T-shirt hierarchy has developed. If a guy’s shirt says something pleasant and intelligible like, “Be Kind to Animals,” or “Have a Nice Day,” he’s obviously poor. And a total loser. If, on the other hand, the shirt says some gibberish like “Coca-Cola win Bulls Football,” or “Michael Iordan Pearl lam Automotive,” then the wearer is obviously very cool, probably a cabinet mem ber.

And the homeless? They wear nice suits. Spend days rooting through dumpsters, desper ate to find a tattered rag with some nonsense like, “President Reagan Papa Smurf Celtics.” WTi/fc with black lettering, one size fits all, $28 Cover Your Tracks Basic Long-Sleeve Shirt For years, you wore a tank-top. Or better yet, no shirt at all. You had to, to best show off what you had done with yourself. You were the first to have the barbed-wire tattoo around the biceps. You were the first with the spider web tattoo on the elbow. You told your girlfriend to get a flower on her calf and a yin-vang on her ass back when / \ a “riot grrrl” was a female looter who J couldn’t spell. / You were such a trendsetter, you j , even embraced ritual scarification after viewing a National Geographic Explorer program about the Masai warriors of Kenya. Now it’s all so pass6, isn’t it? My accoun tant wears a ring in his penis, for god’s sake! So, in lieu of expensive corrective laser surgery, what’s left to separate the stylish from the followers in these post-grunge times? Long sleeves.

Say you saw it in

By Lucy Andrews Cummi n he other day I got a newsletter from some Fengshui counselors. Having many more urgent things to do, I sat down and read it, because a piece on spring cleaning caught my eye: “If it’s your closet, get that shoe rack off the back o f the door. No wonder stuff piles up in there,' and you can’t get in or out!” How did they kpow about my shoe rack? So here I am. It’s spring, or almost, my sleeves are rolled up, pitchfork ready. I woke up this morning with a vision o f my closet bare o f everything except what I really wear. When I’m done, instead o f resembling Filene’s basement, my closet will be as tranquil as a Japanese garden. I begin with the shoe rack. The shoes I actually wear are scattered all over the house. The rack is my version o f a tro phy wall. Shoes to dream over. I bought those red suedes, for example, because I saw myself transformed by them, and at the time I needed to believe that such a Cinderella-like transfor mation was possible. Commemorative shoes like the sling-backed, open-toed lilacs from the year o f five weddings. Nostalgia shoes like the black suede pumps from a trip to Paris, gulp, 20 years ago. Worn to death. My vision firmly in my mind’s eye, the Paris shoes go in the trash; the other dozen or so — even the shoe rack itself —

after all, simply to hide my nakedness. Would I want my husband to throw out the Hawaiian shirt he was wearing when I fell in love with him? N o way. Likewise, the memo ries associated with this sweater, that dress, those shoes link me to special times in my life. When I throw them out, in a way I break that link. And the dream clothes, the mistakes I bought, hoping for this or that to come to pass? They represent hope and the desire for change. Throwing them out closes a door on those possible other identities. I may not want to hang on for ever, but, like letters from friends or old lovers, I don’t want to discard them all at

COMPARING NOTES Continued from page 12 yet.” His bio reads, “David Gunn studied composition at a big university not noted for its music department,” which turns out to be Ohio State. It also notes, “While ‘worldrenowned composer’ and David Gunn at present are mutually exclusive noun groupings, they nonetheless contain the same number o f syllables...” What he really wants to talk about is the rhythm o f my typing — he says it reminds him of “Different Trains,” by Steve Reich. Gunn has a clever answer for everything. He also has a great marketing schtick. With a piece like “The Help Me Rondo,” he has instant access to an audience that could very well be looking for some comic relief. Vermont Public Radio listeners will hear it Friday afternoon. “I think it lightens the tension, and I hope once one gets past the hum or...” Yup, even Gunn has serious intentions.

DENNIS BATHORY-KITSZ Dennis Kitsz and David Gunn are the “car guys” o f Vermont composing. Their Saturday afternoon radio show in Plainfield — known as “Kalvos and Damian’s New Music Bazaar” — does for elec tro-acoustic music what the Tappet Brothers do for auto mobiles. “I am the straight guy,” Kitsz insists. But the 48-year-old com puter composer is no stick-inthe-mud. He likes to beat up on Vermont Public Radio a p r i 1

One garbage bag is trash, two are for the Salvation Army. A grocery bag full o f shoes starts a costume trunk for my little daughter. I’m okay with not letting go — yet -— o f the silk robe from ray honeymoon, the purple wool suit I no longer fit into, the black velvet vest I’d forgotten I owned. Hauling the bags down stairs, I recall something I once read, an article by an American traveling across central Africa. The newness o f his clothes attracts his guides attention. The guide, a truck driver, owns two frill changes o f (used) clothes and is considered wildly well-dressed. The author realalmost as much as he likes to imitate his music professor at Rutgers, who informed him with clenched teeth, “Our undergraduates do not com pose.” He is equally fond o f suggesting there is some hid den meaning in the fact that he was born on the anniversary o f the death o f Richard Strauss. But H.G. Wells had more to do with “A Time Machine” — a song cycle for chamber ensemble, voice, computer controller and dancer that never fails to get a standing ovation. The construction of the piece is more difficult to explain than to hear, according to Kitsz. “There are 33 sections,” he says. “One in four is made up o f bits o f the rest o f the music. Those bits are chosen at the time o f the performance, at random, by the computer, which counterpoints material that has been heard or will be heard.” Spoken like a true knob turner. Kitsz is equally jazzed about a Web site he and Gunn are working on that brings Vermont schoolkids together with composers from around the world. Oh, and as o f next week, “Kalvos and Damian’s New Music Bazaar” will enjoy similar electronic distribution. Who needs VPR?

Read is the only composing member o f the Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble — the violinist plays a crucial part in the perfor mance o f his own work. And there are definite advantages to being in the thick o f it — not the least o f which is license to make last-minute changes. “Everything is written down, all the dynamics are given, and yet the music still allows for different readings,” he explains. “That is one o f the goals o f a composer — having your music performed in different ways.” “Light After Light” is a strikingly beautiful piece that incorporates many different styles — tonality, minimalism and serialism — into a rich texture o f sound. “Each o f the four instruments is given a turn as soloist,” Read explains in the program notes, “but generally the piano and the violin provide much o f the rhythmic propulsion.” Even with six instruments, Read manages to give the illusion of a full orchestra. O f all the composers repre sented on Sunday, Read is most optimistic about the future o f new music. He remembers a time when it was completely segregated from the rest o f the repertoire. “Now almost every concert you attend, unless it’s specifically ‘early music’, you hear music of this century,” he notes. Clearly the best thing that could hap pen to 20 th century music — after the Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble, that is — is the 21 st. □

RAT TRAP tinn ed from page behind bars before' e on the felonies b 1995, McNaney fi nder threats from t ment. He was told seven more charged with conspiracy e others. He but still didn’t spill m s... __________ m Then last week, just a couple o f days before taking the witness stand, McNaney finally told prosecutors what they really wanted to hear: that he had in fact received large cash pay ments from Greer and Hutchins since his arrest in 1991. He testified that Hutchins had personally hand ed him $25-30,000 — he was n’t sure exactly how much — to pay for an attorney. And later, while he was still in jail, McNaney s wife found $20,000 in cash inside a bag in her car, which was parked in the drive way. One morning about a year later, he said, another $20,000 mysteriously appeared in the vehicle. Asked why he’d lied to the government about the paymerits for two years, McNaney replied, “I feel bad enough helping the government,” he said, “and going against these guys here,” nodding to his for-

______ ^ . . l g trips in the 1980s. According to his testimony, most were made on foot, carrying backpacks full of pot or hashish. Several were conducted on boats on Lake Champlain or on snowmobiles across Lake Memphremagog. Another o f the snitches, Billy Carr o f Burlington, testi fied Thursday he was part o f a “crew” that lugged kilos o f hashish and shipments o f mari juana across the U.S.-Canadian border through several Franklin County routes as many as 50 times. A friend o f Hutchins for 20 years who did prison time with the rest o f the group in Canada, Carr also testified to foul-ups, such as the time in the early 1980s when the gang used Lake Champlain to move corrugated cardboard boxes full o f hashish into Canada, They landed at night on the shore o f Missisquoi Bay just south o f the border. Spotting a light ahead, they panicked.

The defense is not expected to dispute the facts concerning the smuggling operations o f the 1980s. Timing is every thing here. The defense con tends the five-year statute o f limitations has long since run out on that conduct. And they argue that, rather than one continuous enterprise, there were different operations with different goals and participants. Burlington attorney Mark Keller represents Gregory Stevens, one o f the alledged “mules.” Keller claims the gov ernment is on a fishing expedi tion. He told the jury the pros ecution is fishing with a big net when it should be fishing with a hook. “You’re the game wardens,” said Keller, a former Chittenden County States Attorney, “and reasonable doubt is when you don’t get the fish in the boat.” □

I half expected Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyi to poke her head around a barrel and call out, “Oh, Popeye!” but at that point the picture ended with a glug and a thump and lot o f water lap ping at the hull. Oh, dear — I gave away the ending. Well, don’t worry. There’ll be another one along any minute. In the meantime, Mothers warned you. You’re on your own. □ april

THE HOYTS CINEMAS and the father of three young daughters. Pitt’s an infam°i* IRA terrorist whose father was murdered

who travels incognito to the United States to buy mano a mano in the latest from Alan ) Stinger missiles on the black market. An under ground network of sympathizers arranges for Pitt to stay with the unsuspecting cop and his family while the deal goes down. The bonding between the two is a tad pat and hurried. Nonetheless, the first twothirds of the film are well-written, nicely shot and feature some exceptional dialogue. Highly enjoyable as well is Treat Williams, who puts a blistering, wacko spin on the volatile arms dealer he plays. The script is a study in facades. Pitt’s boyish appearance and charm mask the ruthlessness of a hardened killer. His first impressions of America are those of a place straight out of a fairy tale, and yet he’s quickly acquainted with the back alleys of its lethal shadow-world. Ford and Williams make com pelling reference points for the worlds of light and darkness between which Pitt ultimately must choose. And that’s where the film lets us down. The choice never seems a terribly tough one. In early scenes we’re given a moving and horrific depiction of the events which formed Pitt’s character. In the New + York scenes, however, the best the film has to offer is routine sentimental shorthand in which the two t males share beers, shoot pool and supposedly grow close. When the drama comes down to the ques- * tion of which side the Irish visitor will dtoose and how far he will go to complete his mission, the picture folk flat. While we may believe that what he intends to do is bad, his reasons for acting otherwise — in this movie, at least -— are never good enough .

as always by

iess in Xack o f meaning, or a sense o f pu ^ ife, keeps everyone’s head glued to the pillow at one time or another. At best it leads to cynicism; at worst, to debilitating depression. Shelburne therapist-healer Juliana O ’Brien does n’t profess to fully understand the meaning o f life — clearly the answers can be different for different people. However, she has developed a workshop to help her clients uncover meaning in their own lives. Beginning May 5, O ’Brien will offer a five-week program, entitled “Spiritual Loss, Spiritual Search,” for people who want to gain — or rediscover — a spiritual connection with traditional deities or other life-inspiring forces. * "When we talk about spirituality we’re talking about this common experience that all religious tra ditions have, that is a connection to something that transcends your personal self,” says O ’Brien, who draws on a clinical degree in social work and a mas ters in divinity from Yale to help her clients. ‘ The workshop is for people who feel cut off from their spiritual self. You might be angry at the institutional church or your faith tradition, or it could be just that you were raised in some tradition and just went away from that, or maybe you were not raised in a tradition and are still searching. It’s this feeling that there is something missing m your lire. In her workshop, O ’Brien incorporates a fourstep process to spiritual connection. In the first two steps, participants “acknowledge their emptiness,” and then learn to “confront the emptiness” through exercises which help reveal the barriers between themselves and their spiritual beliefs. “A lot o f times God, or a spirit, becomes our critical parent,” O ’Brien says. “We need to see what’s there, what’s getting in the way o f experienc ing the true spirit, which is unconditional love and a sense o f connection.” The third step is letting go o f what O ’Brien calls false gods” — those things we pursue to fill the void. “It’s looking at all these things in our life that are trying to fill this emptiness and not doing a good job,” O ’Brien says. “You let go o f false gods — god as the judger, god as an institution, or the god o f money. You realize all these things are just false, and they’re getting in the way o f your experiencing this true connection with spirit.” Whether you find inspiration through tradition al religion or a walk in the woods, O ’Brien says, for many, a strong spiritual connection is integral to a happy and fulfilling life. “The gifts you can receive by having a rich spiri tual connection are peace o f mind, serenity... and the feeling that you have a place in the universe,” O ’Brien says. “If we think about moments o f joy, they’re moments that are kind o f beyond ourselves, and I think that’s what we all want more of. We want to experience life more fully.” " The five-week “Spiritual Loss, Spiritual Search” ses*lace every Monday, 7 -9 p.m., May 5 C tO C 3 2 J < June 2.

Dear Lola, I'm contused. I just saw the movie Crash and wonder it I'm alone in not hav ing any fetishes. One triend ct mine has a thing ter midgets. Another has rape fan tasies. Me, I still like the missionary posi tion. Am I out of f o r n ic a tio n fashion? — Straight Shooter in Springfield Dear Straight, I have to confess that your dear Lola once did it doggy style with a missionary man and hated it. Old-fashioned sex is vastly underrated. We've all got perfor mance anxiety up the you-know-what. But that's another topic. Don't be so anal, just relax and copulate the way you see fit. And don't let sheep ishness or shame keep you from writing your own Kama Sutra. Whatever comes natu rally is okay. With love, J

This is not a time for things that are easy.

Last September; over 3000 people did something that most of them never dreamed they could. Together they rode their bicycles from Boston to N ew York to raise $6.3 million for the fight against AIDS. And they defined what it means to make a difference in today’s world. This September; it happens again. And you can join them. Grandparents. Brothers and sisters. Friends and lovers. All united by a feeling that it is time to make a difference again. Time to do something big. As a rider in BostonDNew York AIDS Ride 3 Presented byTanqueray you can participate in the most successful AIDS fundraising effort in history... and make a

powerful statement in the battle against AIDS.

It’s a ride, not a race. The AIDS Ride is about commitment not speed. You set your own pace, so you can ride as quickly or as leisurely as you like. And it's for anyone who wants to get off the sidelines of life and grow. Riders of all ages, from all walks of _____________ life, will bicycle three days through some of the most spectacular scenery in America. It will raise millions of dollars for AIDS services in Boston, and leave you a changed person.

No way, I could never do that, could I? The Ride is not easy.. .nothing this gratifying is. It’s demanding and challenging.. .and you can do it! Thousands of people have proven it The Ride is your chance to stop thinking and start acting.. .to stop wishing for change and start doing something to create it It’s about setting a goal and proving you can meet it And through the organized training rides we offer throughout the year; your strength, stamina and confidence will build.

Taking action has never mattered more. In any cause there are remarkable people who give of themselves to make a difference. They're defined by courage and nobility, risk and sacrifice.. .not hoping for easy answers. Easy doesn’t cut it when AIDS is the leading killer of people ages 25-44.

OK...w here do I eat, sleep, shower? The Ride is expertly organized and fully supported with hot and cold showers, hot meals, five daily water and snack stops, transports for your gear volunteer massage therapists, roving medical and tech support, and much more. W e even provide two-person tents.

Where does the money go?

The money raised will benefit the HIV/AIDS related services of Boston's Fenway Community Health Center
