NANCY’S GOTTA GO Again, Nancy Sheltra proves what a poor representative she is [Inside Track, April 11]. Instead of dealing with issues that are impor tant to Vermont, such as health care, the environment or our econ omy, she continues her vendetta against civil unions. Now she wants to dictate what schools can and cannot teach with regards to sexual orientation. Sheltra wastes time and taxpayer money because she cannot accept the fact that civil unions have become law. It is apparent to me that this legislative session is non productive, thanks to people like Sheltra. It would be in the interest of all parties to get rid of her and her cronies. Our state needs to concen trate on more vital issues that will make it a place where existing business can prosper and new busi ness can grow. Small business makes up a large percentage of our economy, and they are struggling with energy and health-care costs that are out of control. Senior citi zens are often forced to choose between a meal, a heating bill or a prescription drug. Vermont needs to foster and maintain an economy that encourages growth and pro-

IDEAS STOPPED AT BORDER? In a few days thousands of peo ple, including hundreds of Vermonters, will be arriving at the Canadian border, hopefully on their way to Quebec City. When they get to the border they will be asked the usual question of where they are going. If their response is: “I am going to Quebec to peace fully protest an agreement that is being negotiated in secret and will result in further degradation of the environment and erosion of basic human rights,” they will likely be denied entrance. If on the other hand they were to say, “We are going to Canada to shop” they will likely be allowed to cross over the border with open arms. It is outrageous that these two democracies allow goods to easily

Building a People’s Hemispheric Agreement,” that was begun in 1998 at the People’s Summit in Santiago, Chile, is the kind of agreement we should be develop ing instead of the FTAA. Unlike the secretive FTAA document, this proposal is available for all people to see at www.asc-hsa.org. So-called “Fast Track Authority” for the FTAA should be denied and the negotiating process should be stopped. A new process should begin that is democratically controlled and involves a wide range of interests working towards a sustainable future. — George Plumb Washington

move over their borders, but not people who want to express demo cratic ideas and ideals. It is also outrageous that, should these peo ple get to Quebec City, they will not be able to get near the negotia tions because the city has literally been fenced in. While internation al corporations, who have paid large sums of money, will have access to the negotiators, the gen eral public will not be allowed to get anywhere near them. The proposed Free Trade of the Americas Agreement (FTAA) is an expansion of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) implemented in 1994. Despite the assurances that the side agreements negotiated for NAFTA would insure environmental protection and workers rights, the opposite has happened and there are now many well-documented cases and statistics that show otherwise. We need a new vision of how countries should work together to benefit their populations through democratic, sustainable develop ment that assures a high quality of life for all. Free trade agreements that are only concerned with mak ing money for multinational cor porations are not the answer. “The Alternative for the Americas:

Prizes, Prejudices and Adolph Hitler?

Eric Greene, anchorman at Ch. 22, expressed it best on behalf of the local TV-news mindset. Asked why he didn’t report the Rutland Heralds Pulitzer to his small band of viewers, Greene replied, “I don’t know. I just never really thought to. We had other things to cover, other than the competition.” Sounds like a classic case of “big antenna = small mind.”

The newspaper’s petulant publisher, was true. If he really said his local school superin tendent “is a little Hitler just like Howard Dean.” Jim Carey — he of the born-again bumper stickers — simply would not allow it. * “Yes, I did,” answered Rep.

Portent for W all Street Victims Indonesia’s three-year-long economic crisis is driving people living in the capital insane, according to a Jakarta newspaper. “The number of psychotic people in Jakarta has almost tripled since the crisis,” Endang W.

Many don’t even remember their own names.” Toppling TVs American children are twice as likely to be injured by falling tele vision sets as they were five years ago, according to the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.

Role Model of the Week Stephen Phillips, 46, a selfproclaimed Narcotics Anonymous success story and motivational speaker, was arrested while attending a weekend speaking engagement in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Bristol County prosecutor Gerald FitzGerald said Phillips slipped out of the confer ence to pick up a package con taining 53 pounds of marijuana. After his arrest, police searched his house and found another 48 pounds of marijuana. Narcotics Anonymous spokesperson Steven Sigman called Phillips’s arrest “unfortunate,” adding, “It sounds like this individual was not 100 percent in recovery.”

was in Boston last week end crying over spilled milk — pardon me, work ing with my editor on the final cuts and revisions of my book about Isadora Duncan — and, somehow, I complete ly missed knowing that it was Easter. I was still waiting to see ashes on people’s fore heads, which takes me by sur prise every year. But I suppose I missed that, too. I had no idea it was Easter until I got off the plane in Burlington on Sunday and the flight atten dant, a comely young man named Julio, said, “Happy Easter!” Easter? I looked around me. Nary a bunny. Not even a crocus. O f course, it could be Christmas or Halloween, for all I’d know. T hat’s the beauty of an ultimatum from the publisher. You don’t have time to think about anything else. You don’t have time to think about anything at all— which they keep telling you is good. I’m sure they’re right. Editing a book is like having a thousand Band-Aids torn off all at once. I haven’t been in such pain since, in a hypnotic trance on my fortieth birth day, I went to a Tunisian epileur in Paris — that’s a body-waxer to you — and had every hair on my body removed, except for a little dark fringe that was supposed to peek up over the rim of my Speedo — pour la plage, don’t you know. Gentlemen: Have you ever had the hair yanked off your legs with hot wax? Ouch, right? But I wanted to look like somebody else. T hat’s what I kept telling myself, and them — as I said, I was in a state of shock at turning 40. “I want to see somebody different in the mirror,” I said, and I got my wish. There I was on all fours, kneeling on a metal table, while four little Tunisians, with tweezers... Well, that’s another story. O r is it? Come to think of it, my trip to the Tunisian epileur in Paris is one of the last things I remember before Isadora swallowed me up. There might be a connection, I don’t know. Nine years in the making, and suddenly they’re in a hurry! Go figure. Anyhow, where the hell is spring?

they were doing the wedding on the anniversary, anyhow. Then I remembered it was April. Doctor, what’s happening to me? Last night, I flipped on the TV. Sure enough, The Robe was on. That’s definitely Easter. Julio was right. The Robe was the first movie ever made in Cinemascope, if you can possibly have escaped that piece of trivia. But, in the Bible-epic genre, The Robe is for pansies — babies, if you prefer. Something about Richard Burton’s eternally curled lip doesn’t do justice to the theme. And Victor Mature! Watching Burton and Jean Simmons march nobly off to martyrdom in The Robe, hand in hand, practically winking at each other, as if to say, “If only these Romans knew what we know!” — well, it takes all the fun out of Christians and lions. It doesn’t hold a candle to Silvana Magnano getting stoned to death in Barabbas, or Finlay Currie crucified upside down as St. Peter in Quo Vadis? or all those people getting trampled by elephants and roasted on spits in Sodom and Gomorrah. A Bible movie needs to be sincere, from the heart.

Because it’s too late to make any more changes — my editor said so. ®

the band is a trio once more. Luckily, the multi-instrumental ist Lilly is able to fill in as drum mer for a couple of scheduled shows — including a gig this Friday at the Compost Art Center in Hardwick. But Zola Turn is actively seeking a new guy — or gal — on the kit. After all, they’ve got a record contract to fulfill. The band signed last month with Brick Red Records in Santa Monica, California. The label is so new it has just four artists to date — including former Toad the Wet Sprocket frontman Glenn Phillips. Brick Red got a copy of Zola’s last CD, Ninja Jane, and liked it enough to repackage it for national distribu tion — although without the title track, and renamed eponymously — and to give Zola a three-record deal. The disc had already garnered airplay locally on the Buzz and on scattered col lege stations around the region. The tunes Brick Red’s A&R guy heard were already old news, of course, to local admirers. Despite a revolving membership over its relatively short life, Zola Turn has managed to create an appealing sound, just poppy enough, and just hard-edged enough, to win fans of wildly divergent ages and both genders. Julia marvels about a middleaged couple from Swanton who, having discovered the band through their kids, became fer vent followers. To younger fans, Zola’s all-female format was sure ly enticing — especially, perhaps, to girls whose fantasies include amps and kicking ass on stage themselves someday. Boys have drooled over Zola Turn for the usual reasons. Chances are nei ther male or female fans will be put off by an infusion of testos terone in the band. Though everyone contributes, the sound of Zola Turn has increasingly been shaped by the unerring instincts and unflagging energy — not to mention the sassy, full-throated voice — of Alice Austin. A pretty, tomboyish blonde with the body of a fitness instructor — which she was until two years ago — Alice appears simultaneously vulnerable and tough. She worries the band has n’t yet sounded like what she hears in her head, but she’s will-

ing to serve it raw and let it rip; she is optimistic enough to know it will only get better. “It’s great hearing other people’s interpreta tions o f songs I’ve written,” she says, stressing that collaboration is the best thing, for her, about being in a band. For her part, Julia digs gig ging. “I enjoy the transfer of energy between the audience and

For the last eight years he played bass with Ms. Pigeon, a modern pop-rock band that, after two independent releases, was on the verge of a record deal when “it ran itself out for me,” says the soft-spoken Lilly, con ceding there was interpersonal conflict.

I wish there was that same sense of

POWER TRIO ...but looking for a fourth, Zola Turn takes it higher. us,” she says, envisioning even a post-Zola future when she will still find a way to play out, for other people. A slender beauty currently sporting blue streaks in her light-brown hair, Julia is the stable, down-to-earth big sister — earthy, in fact, in a political way: She’s a self-described “hard core environmentalist” who worked 10 years for a wind ener gy company in Hinesburg. Julia’s cool equanimity is evident on stage and off, and she’s perfectly content to stay in the back ground with her beloved bass. “I never wanted to be a frontperson,” she says. “I was even resist ant to having to sing more.” It’s a good thing she does, though — the women harmonize nicely in that sibling way. It’s not just their voices that are close; the sisters claim to get on famously and have little diffi culty solving their differences. “We’ve had 30 years to work on our communication skills,” quips Alice. “And we’ve gotten to know each other better in the last year than in the previous 20.” “It’s really wonderful,” Julia says of their relationship. “We’re best friends.” “Jules has a lot of business strength,” Alice commends. “I’m the resistant one; I tend to be more introverted, so we balance each other’s strengths.” It doesn’t hurt that music was all in the family when the Austins were growing up in Bakersfield; both parents were in active bands. “There was always

he has no regrets. “I wouldn’t be happy with them,” Lilly says. “The hardest part was leaving the drummer, because I went to high school with him.” His dissatisfaction with Ms. Pigeon coincided with a growing musical relationship with Alice Austin — their bands had gigged together several times in Boston and Burlington. The two started sending tapes to each other and exchanging musical ideas. “Jeff

about what “getting signed” means. “It’s kind of a crap shoot,” surmises Alice. Julia says she hopes simply for “distribu tion, and the opportunity to play a lot more live shows and con nect with more people who might like what [we’re] doing.” “My biggest hope is that they’re as supportive as possible for what we’re doing in the moment,” Alice continues. “They bought our record, so they have to support that to some degree. But we also have to look ahead. I think that’s one of the most com mon things for bands, to feel stuck because they’re supporting an old album.” Lilly resists any expectations at all, except “I just really want the record to sound good, the recordings to come out well,” he says. “Record companies e really scary things metimes, it’s kind of wait and see. It could be over tomorrow, you never know. But I’d just be doing the same thing I did before the record company came along.” One quarter Zola Turn does n’t expect much support from, ironically, is Burlington. “The scene locally — there’s not much happening,” says Julia. “There

hough he’s not a member of the pierced and tat tooed tribe, Jeff Lilly’s got a tangled bird’s nest of hair that suggests he’s either in a band or does n’t have a serious day job. Both are true; he’s been playing, and exclu sively devoted to, music since age 14. “I decided in eighth grade I wasn’t going to college,” he explains. “I just wanted to be a musician.” Remarkably, his parents were supportive of this decision, even in preppy Concord, Massachusetts. They bought him a guitar and a bass for Christmas.

community — but maybe what’s out there isn’t good enough for people to do that.” Julia couches her concerns about the music biz in terms of a music listener. “I really want to hear some good songs again,” she grouses. “I’ll be really happy when you can hear a bunch of really different types of voices on the radio, not just the Eddie Vedders, Creed... I want to hear some womens voices. And would she like to be one of those voices? “Hell, yes!” Julia retorts. Her sister, meanwhile, puts a positive spin on low expectations: She feels unintimidated. “Music is just what I do,” says Alice. “My focus is not to be in the Top 10. I’m not saying I wouldn’t want that. I just don’t feel it’s a battle; if it works, it works.” If Zola’s collective comments have a certain beaten-about-theears resignation — and hint of self-protectiveness — chalk it up to the current cruelly indifferent, and still highly competitive, cli mate for rock these days. It’s enough to make old-schoolers pull out their hankies. But don’t expect to hear any defeatism in Zola Turn’s music. The sound of the new rough tapes, promises Alice, is “driving and bold. The mood of it is very upbeat. I think of it as happy music.” “Call it whatever you want,” scoffs Julia amiably, “but it’s not light.” It’s only rock ’n’ roll, really, and some o f us still like it. ®

We used to come to the Daily Planet every Saturday night for sushi. At that time, Sakura did not exist. We had moved here from Toronto where we had friends who spent time in Japan and introduced us to sushi. We were thrilled to find sushi in Vermont when we moved back here.

ister, you got to help me.” It sounded like a teen-age boy on the other end of the line. He had a slight accent — Spanish, I guessed. “I’m stuck at my girl friends house here in Hinesburg, and I got to get home.” “Where in Hinesburg are you?” I asked. “Okay, you know where CVTJ is, right? You go past the school, and take a right at the top of the hill. Her place is up Buck Hill Road. I’ll meetcha at the bottom of the hill. Her road is kinda funky.” “I think I know where that’s at. Where you headed, into Burlington?” “No, I live in Hinesburg, at the .Sunset Trailer Park. I just got stuck up here today.” “Why don’t you just walk home?” I asked. “It can’t be more than about three miles.” “I usually do,” he answered. “But I play on the baseball team, and I sprained my ankle pretty bad. It hurts and I got to get home.” “You understand all us cab bies are based in Burlington, or thereabouts. I can come get you, but it’ll cost 25 bucks.” “Yeah, I figured that, but I gotta get out of here, and I’ll pay you — I got the jack.” “What’s the phone number at your girlfriend’s? You know, in case I get lost.” “Okay, lemme think for a second... yeah, it’s 482-7559.” “All right, just be at the bot tom of Buck Hill in half an hour.” “No doubt,” he said. “Thanks, mister.” No doubt. I flipped the cellu lar closed and immediately felt doubtful. What are the odds this kid will really be waiting for me when I reach Buck Hill Road?” To make matters worse, we’re talking about Hinesburg— the chronic bane of my cabbie career. Every fare that goes haywire seems to have an uncanny link to Hinesburg. The town has some Stephen King-like relationship to my unconscious. What manner of horror will befall me on my next trip down there? Feral demon-dogs streaming from the Stella cheese factory and attack ing my taxi on Route 116?

Lantman’s IGA grocery clerks possessed by Satan and material izing in the rear seat? Theoret ically, I’m not superstitious, but that town freaks me out. I retrieved the cellular, and rang up the number the guy gave me. A girl answered, “What’s up?

“Hey there, this is Jernigan Pontiac. I’m the cab driver some body there just phoned up.” “Yeah, my boyfriend called. You’re gonna meet him down here, right?” “Listen, I’m sorry. I can’t real ly do it. My taxi doesn’t have 4wheel drive, and it’s mud season and all. I’m afraid of getting stuck on those Hinesburg hills.” This was a lie. True, my vehi cle doesn’t have 4-wheel drive, but that’s never stopped me from driving anywhere in Vermont. In fact, I pride myself on it. I was just jaundiced about the kid’s commitment to take this $25 cab ride. The mud season business was a handy, if lame, excuse. “God, no!” she wailed. “My folks are gonna be home in, like, an hour, and he’s got to get out of here! There’s no mud problem on North Road, and we promised he’ll meet ya at the bottom of Buck Hill. Please, please, come and get him.” I folded like a golfer up against Tiger Woods on the final day of a tournament. I simply have no defense to a, pleading teen-age girl. “All right, all right,” I gave in. “Just have him down there in a half hour.” I headed south, trying to think happy thoughts. About 25 minutes later, I was approaching Buck Hill when I saw a wellbuilt teen-age boy on the left side of the road approaching from the opposite direction. I decelerated as we passed, and thought I detected a slight limp. For his part, the kid looked straight ahead, pointedly not glancing at the passing taxi, or me, its driver. Not good, I thought, but what else is new? All optimism quickly evapo rating — and I didn’t start with much to begin with — I drove a half-mile further down the road and came upon Buck Hill Road. Was there anyone waiting for me at the intersection, specifically a high-schooler, male variety, with a bum ankle? Did Howard Dean

do the watusi with Nancy Sheltra at the Governor’s Ball? I pulled over to the shoulder and called the number I had. No answer. No surprise. I let loose a single vulgarity, threw the cab back into drive and swung a Uturn. A couple minutes later, I reached my young pal still walk ing along the side of the road. I pulled next to him and lowered the passenger window. “I don’t suppose you’re the guy who called for the taxi?” I called out. “Hell, no!” he replied, not quite meeting my eyes. “What makes you think that?” “Oh, I don’t know. A teen age boy called me for a pick-up at Buck Hill Road. He had, like, a Spanish accent.” “Well, it wasn’t me,” he said. “I ain’t no Latino; I’m mulatto, man.” Wow, I thought, that certain ly gets him off the hook — who ever heard of a mixed-race Latino? His voice was inconclu sive; I thought I heard some kind of accent, but teen-age boys all sound alike to me these days, with their hip-hop attitude and diction. No point in arguing, I real ized. I thought he was the guy, but I could have been wrong. Anyway, this fare was officially a dud. “Look,” I said, “where you headed? Jump in, I’ll give you a ride.” “Hey, I told ya, I didn’t call a taxi. I’m not gonna pay you.” “Relax, buddy. I’m not asking for any money. I’m going back through Hinesburg on my way home, and I figured you might need a ride, that’s all.” I could see the wheels turning in his head. “Sure, that would be awesome,” he said. “Just drop me at Lantman’s, if it’s okay.” “You know,” I said as we got underway, “if you ever do call a cab and change your mind, all you need to do...” “Mister!” he interjected, shak ing his head in exasperation. “Let it go. It told ya, it wasn’t me!” “Sorry, man,” I responded. “That just popped out. I got it — it wasn’t you.” We rode in silence for a few moments, and then I asked, “Hey — have you ever read any thing by Stephen King?” ® mm S

SEVEN DAYS

april 18, 2001

t was a snowy ride out to Lincoln when I went to check in with Michael Chorney, one of Vermont’s most creative and committed musicians, at a turn ing point in his career. Six years ago, the saxophonist organized a gaggle of central and northern Vermont musicians into viper House — a high-octane, cosmofunk mini-orchestra interpreting the music of Charles Mingus, Sun Ra and Duke Ellington, as well as Chorney’s own composi tions. ViperHouse had a fresh, contemporary groove-jazz flavor. In the ensuing years, the nine-piece earned an enthusiastic following in Burlington and beyond, playing hundreds of live concerts up and down the Atlantic Coast and as far west as Colorado. They shared stages with such friends as Phish gui tarist Trey Anastasio and the lamentably late clown prince of free jazz, Lester Bowie. The hon orary viper, who had been an artist in residence in Vermont before his untimely death from

cancer in November 1999, said of the band, “There’s a spirit of joy and fun in their music that’s highly contagious. I believe I have been infected.” When rumors of the band’s dissolution began circulating in January this year, I was surprised and disappointed. Following the departure of a few members the previous summer, the remaining sextet seemed to be the tightest and most potent lineup yet. And at a time when more and more college-aged listeners are opening up to such creative music, the sky should have been the limit for the accessibly groovy, acidjazz “spasm” band, as the vipers called themselves. There’s some thing to be said for going out on a high note, but without a final show or any sort of formal announcement, closing the door on viperHouse felt like a good friend had moved out of town without saying goodbye. A recent opportunity to check out Chorney’s free-improv quartet at the Compost Art Center in Hardwick, however, reminded me that while bands come and go, musicians them

selves remain to brighten another day. The audience at Compost was small for The Ephemorons, but the music was large, and quite a departure from anything I’d heard the vipers play. The music was far less groove-orient ed, with the quartet developing a more abstract, impressionistic sense of rhythm and melody. It seemed strongly influenced by Chicago’s Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians Collective, and their progeny. By the time I arrived at the goose-coop-turned-charmingmountain-hideaway where Chorney, now 45, makes his home with his wife and two young daughters, I’d realized that for him this is not an ending but the beginning of the next stage in a rich musical life. Settling in for a chat in his cozy studio amidst a collection of records, instruments and piles of manu script paper, the bearded and overalled Chorney projected pal pable excitement about the music he’s been composing and arranging since viperHouse’s final gig in December.

Seven Days: ViperHouse dis banded so quietly that many peo ple reading this probably aren't aware that the group is no longer active. W hat was behind the decision to call it quits when things seemed to be going so well? Michael Chorney: Well, at the end of last year, we’d just com pleted a season of touring — hard touring, lots o f long drives. We were at a place where we’d been working with the new line up, the sextet, for about six months, and the next step would have been to record the material we’d been working out on the road for a new album. In fact I’d been making the preliminary arrangements to do that — with whom and where, getting it lined up. But the implications of doing another recording would have meant everyone re-commit ting to the project for at least nine months to a year, because if you’re going to put out a record, you have to tour and promote it. We were going ahead with that in mind, but towards the end of last year a confluence of factors really called into question how vtable that commitment could be, and whether oi not it

could be met and adhered to in the right way. Some of it was just attrition; you know, over the course of the last two years, 250 shows, that’s a lot. So there was the fatigue factor, and some of it was my own personal fatigue. There really is a lot of energy expended attempting to be an effective band leader... We’d made this big transition last spring and had done our final concert with Heloise [Williams], Brian [Boyes], Dan [Mallach] and P.J. [Davidian], and had pretty successfully tran sitioned into the new lineup. The music was wonderful; there was some really compelling stuff. B ut... a number of personal fac tors, really major life changes, occurred over the course of like two or three weeks... It seemed like the best thing to do was to say, well, we’re done. I was primarily responsible for wanting to do it quietly. I felt that after the big hoopla in June... to try and revisit any experience even slightly akin to that didn’t feel right. We didn’t make an announcement at all. C o n tin u e d on p ag e 1 4 a

SD: D id you consider putting the band on a more temporary hia tus? MC: We were thinking about taking a big chunk of the winter off, but some of the things that were going on with folks called into question whether they were going to be able to do the band at all... I could have put togeth er viperHouse 3, or 4 or 5, but five of the six of us had been working together for five and a half years, and although viperHouse had started off as my vision, what happens over the course of time, with any group, is that it becomes more of a col laboration. A band to me is defined by when the chemistry between the players is as promi nent a feature of what happens on stage as the compositions or the execution of them. T hat’s a great strength, but it can also be a weakness: It works both ways. We had certainly evolved into

towards the end, that was in the balance and, in any kind of endeavor, if things are unhealthy to any degree, and you have some capacity to change it, that’s the thing to do. Defining what’s healthy and unhealthy for your self, well, that’s what living’s about. SD: Nicely put. Let’s talk about what you’ve been up to over the winter. You went out on a short tour in January with a small combo supporting an improvised dance project. MC: I’ve been working at Middlebury College for many years, collaborating with Penny Campbell, one of the dance pro fessors there. She’s a proponent of a method of improvising which is really very interesting and deep work. It’s really very rigorous, just the opposite of “make it up as you go along.” SD: A popular misconception about improvisation. MC: Yes, it is. Penny has engen dered a lot of these methodolo gies and points of view in me, regarding improvising. So this winter, she was directing the

They’d worked really hard for the entire fall, and in January we did a small tour of schools around the Northeast, and a few performance spaces. The musical component was myself, Rob Morse from viperHouse on bass, Jared Baird, who’s a Middlebury graduate, on drums, and Darren Case on alto sax, who’s going to graduate this spring. Both Jared and Darren had taken an improvisation class I taught last year. There were some great musicians in it, but these

Hard on the heels of key post of village constable, William Heffernans Beulah Hill Bellevance is trying to reassemble comes Cold Comfort, Don his life while dealing with the Bredes’ hard-bitten, contempo occasional unruly dog. Then his rary crime thriller set in the far neighbors the Morgenthaus, a B y P ip V aughan - H ughes

wealthy Canadian couple, are found shot to death, and Bellevance’s half-brother Spud becomes the prime suspect. With the aid of local reporter Wilma Strong-Parkhurst, the constable sets out to clear his brother’s name. Following a trail that leads him to a local porn industry, survivalist pot-growers and off-shore developers, Bellevance finds himself losing

his heart to the forceful, sensual Wilma. His investigation reveals a hidden world of insatiable greed and violence beneath the surface of the seemingly sleepy community. And soon his own life is in danger as he finds that nothing and no one are quite what they seem. Cold Comfort is a strong, straightforward cop thriller in the vein of Vermont’s reigning detec

tive writer Archer Mayor, and the theme of corruption and horror lurking beneath the rural idyll inevitably invites comparison to Mayor’s works.

lar stitching at the local quilting bee. Or perhaps a complex, Kafkaesque chiller involving chicken coops and Act 250. In the meantime, there’s plenty to enjoy about Cold Comfort. The plotting is just tangled enough, and the nasty, homespun quality to the action somehow rings true. It’s always refreshing to find a crime novel in which none of the villains are evil geniuses or exotic, etiolated psychopaths. Although the plot involves high finance and the flesh industry, Bredes doesn’t let himself get sidetracked, firmly keeping things at a small-town level. In the end, it’s clear Bellevance has been dealing more with a big, ugly mess than a finely honed conspiracy, and in this rural context, that feels like real life. Bredes resists the temptation to glamorize vio lence, and even imbues his action scenes with a kind of grainy confusion that seems authentic. This isn’t exactly escapist writing: Bellevance’s

ir m i world is nowhere you would want to escape to. Bredes has a clear, easy style, and he’s especially good with descriptions of people and places. Here, for example, Bellevance is visiting an old friend of his mother: Hers was a dank, mildewed clapboard cottage with a studio shed attached. Carpet o f pine nee-

dies instead o f a lawn. Screened porch overlooking the water. Wind chimes and ornamental doodads in the windows, dangling from the pine boughs, tinkling and clink ing. Gloria had once made her living selling ceramic knickknacks at craft fairs. Maple leaf clocks and covered-bridge mirrors and glazed plaques with inspirational verse on them. Now, by her own admission, all she did was read and drink cheap vodka... The place was rank with grease, wood smoke, kerosene, cat piss. She mixed me a Popov-and-ginger on the crumbly linoleum countertop. I could hear the rattle in her chest. Bredes, who lives in the Northeast Kingdom, doesn’t approach Vermont through rosetinted glasses; his is a clear-eyed, though certainly affectionate, perspective. There’s a definite noir flavor to the proceedings, too. This writer isn’t above reaching into the grab-bag of the hard-boiled style, but he usually manages to avoid camp and corniness. The only lessthan-successful character is Wilma, who at times is made to say things like “Chill, scuzzball.” It’s the kind of line a glamorous reporter might come out with in a 1940s comic strip, but amongst Bredes’ terse prose it stands out a little too starkly. Wilma’s affair with Bellevance is the only part of Cold Comfort that could have done with more depth. As it is, the relationship seems to doveI riil only loosely into the story, like an intrusion from a softer, gentler novel. Bredes’ women tend to be as independent and hard-bitten as the men — from Cheryl, the aspiring porn star, to Gaea Morgenthau, whose mur der alongside her husband’s is the catalyst which sparks the plot. Wilma is no exception to this rule, but Bredes never quite makes her human. She’s a con sort of convenience for Bellevance, and their romantic involvement doesn’t succeed in illuminating the gentler or more complex sides of either charac ter. Even the fleeting glimpses of Spud’s marriage, teetering on the brink of disaster, offer more insight. These quibbles aside, Cold Comfort is a good, satisfying read, perfect for camp or lakehouse or summer vacations. It’s satisfying, as all good cop books are, in the visceral way of good, honest food. If Cold Comfort isn’t quite a porterhouse steak, it’s a very good hamburger, made from ground sirloin and served extremely rare. Bellevance is a sufficiently compelling hero to build a series of books - s around, and if he stumbles upon more malfeasance up Tipton way, I’ll look forward to reading all about it. Especially if it involves that quilting bee, or price-gouging at the church bake sale. ® Don Bredes reads from and signs copies o f Cold Comfort at Borders Books & Music in Burlington April 2 6 at 7 p.m.

Ballad A collection of old-time tunes digs into Vermont’s original “ roots” music RECORD DEAL Jennifer Post maintains the Flanders Archive at Middlebury College. B y S usan Green ust a few months before her death in 1954, Myra Daniels o f Hardwick sang a plaintive melody called “Can You Court Lightly?” with some remarkably pointed lyrics. “Oh, hard is the fortune o f all womankind,” one passage begins, ending with: “They’re slaves to their husbands for the rest of their lives.” Then 75, Daniels did not consider herself a feminist trou badour. She was a matronly rural housewife and herbalist who happened to know dozens o f folk songs that probably had been handed down from generation to generation. During a two-decade period, about 50 of Daniels’ a cappella tunes were recorded for posterity by Helen Hartness Flanders. This 20th-century visionary, out to preserve a slice of Vermont cul

ture that has now all but disap peared, spent 35 years collecting thousands of ballads from people like Myra Daniels and her equal ly talented brother, Elmer George. Armed with an assort ment o f primitive recording devices, she traveled throughout the state and to other areas in New England in pursuit of these diamonds in the rough. Flanders died in 1972, but her work has been catalogued, deciphered, protected and revered by a contemporary woman who never met the peri patetic “songcatcher.” Jennifer Post is a Middlebury College ethnomusicology professor who curates the school’s Flanders Archive of nearly 5000 recorded songs and approximately another 3000 on paper. The treasure trove also includes hundreds of artifacts — songbooks, letters, journals, outdated recording

machines — that have grown from an initial donation by Flanders in 1940. This chapter in local history, which began in the Great Depression and ended during the Vietnam War, is the saga o f a woman whose life was trans formed by a chance assignment. “In 1930, the Vermont Commission on Country Life asked Helen Flanders to gather indigenous music. It was part of a nationwide movement to hold on to these old traditions in the wake o f progress,” Post says of a project that was only slated to last for one year. “But Helen became so excited about the work that she continued on her own until the mid-1960s.” While other musicologists of the day combed the hollows of Appalachia or the deep South, Flanders’ mission took her to the remote and impoverished

enclaves of a state with long, hard winters. She found descendents of early settlers who relied on the oral traditions of story telling, poetry recitation and nar rative ditties or hymns for their entertainment. By contrast, the Springfieldbased Flanders was the privileged daughter of a former governor and wife o f a man who would become a Republican U.S. Senator in 1946. (Later, Ralph Flanders reportedly was the first elected official in Congress to challenge the anti-Communist witch hunts of fellow senator Joseph McCarthy.) Although a trained pianist, Helen Flanders had no particular background that prepared her for the job. Yet, beginning at age 40, she used a primitive Dictaphone with wax cylinders to make field recordings of songs and broad sides that, in most cases, had

originated in the British Isles. Much of the music was derived from what are known as “Child ballads,” named for the 19thcentury Harvard musicologist who first compiled English, Irish and Scottish classics. But cross pollination in the New World often added other twists to these age-old tunes about love, jeal ousy, revenge, war, farming, log ging, seafaring, hardships and despair. In 1933, Myra Daniels was 54 and living in East Calais when she first met Flanders. In 1985, Post talked with surviving family members who remem bered Myra and Elmer — part of a quest to document the Middlebury collection by tracing Flanders’ visits around the region. “I did that for about 10 years, on and off, in northern and cen- S tral Vermont, New Hampshire

and Maine,” Post recalls o f her effort, which reflects a Flanderslike passion for American roots music that started in 1979 when she worked at the college library. “I discovered a dark, hot little storage room with all these mate rials in terrible shape. None of it f was catalogued, but some effort had been made to preserve it. Most o f the field recordings had been dubbed for the Library of Congress. So, I proposed work ing 10 hours a week on catalogu ing the collection, which I did ! for seven years,” she says, sitting in a cramped room outside her office that boasts an enormous oil portrait of a white-haired Helen Flanders with wirerimmed glasses, a strand of pearls and a toothy smile. “Everyone said she was very charismatic,” adds Post, who took a break from her catalogu ing chores to finish a doctorate and raise her children. “Three or four years ago, I came back to it when a position opened in the music department for a faculty i curator. I proposed reestablishing j this space as the EthnomiisiI cology Archives, which houses the Flanders collection, among other things.” As extensive as the Middlebury collection is, addi tional and still-uncatalogued

Middlebury archive would inspire students to learn the songs and pass them on to oth ers, the kind o f handing-down ritual that keeps traditional art alive. As attitudes changed, that scheme clearly failed. “Its not a p.c. collection,” Post suggests. “I’m teaching African music, multiculturalism in music, globalization in music, but white, European music is out of favor. I never tire of listening to these old songs, and I used to include them in my courses. Over the years I’ve watched stu dents getting less and less inter ested. W hen I play the Flanders stuff now, the vast majority of the class tells me it’s boring.” At one time, the songs Flanders found along the back roads o f Vermont experienced an unprecedented popularity. Acting as an impresario, she organized public lectures at which country folk performed for city folk. This tour even took them to Boston and Washington, D.C. At the Breadloaf Writers Conference in the ’40s, Myra Daniels and other amateur singers rubbed shoulders with poet Robert Frost, who wrote the introduction to one of Flanders’ books about her work. As Post recounts the success that Flanders achieved, her face beams with pride. O n the other

, recordings remain in the possesji sion of Margaret MacArthur, a Marlboro folksinger who knew Flanders in the 1960s. Two years ago, a distant relative — Deb Flanders — released a C D of songs from the collection that had been newly enhanced with instrumental accompaniment. While nobody is likely to become wealthy from such enter prises, Post feels a proprietary responsibility for the Flanders legacy. She does not like to see it in private hands or squandered on commercial ventures that offer a counterfeit version of the music. . -" The original recordings on antiquated technology — wax cylinders, discs made from alu minum, shellac or glass, the paper-based tape that preceded magnetic plastic ribbons — have all been transferred to cassettes. At the moment the music that Flanders and Post so meticulous ly conserved can only be seen or heard by appointment. The goal is to digitize everything so it will be available online. But where is the audience for this old-fash ioned balladry with an AngloSaxon genesis? Flanders had imagined her

hand, she finds amusement in the elusive nature of human rec ollections: Take the case of “Margaret Gray,” which depicts a young mother and baby lost in the dense woods along the Connecticut River. Even though people on both sides of the river told Post they had known mem bers of Gray’s family or could pinpoint the specific wilderness where she wandered, the ballad actually was adapted from a poem of pure fabrication by Vermont’s Seba Smith. In this instance, fiction is stranger than truth. For Helen Flanders, truth surely resided in the authenticity and longevity o f the music she so tirelessly gathered. The Green Mountain trailblazer must have been delighted by a 1950 letter from Daniels, who wrote this about her repertoire: “In num bering remembered songs, I find 182 — lots older than I am, even twice.” (7) Deb Flanders and Pete Sutherland will perform tradition al ballads and fiddle tunes from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. during this Sunday brunch at Mediums Blend Cafe in Barre.

n the 1960s, many people began to believe the best pos sible way to listen to music was while high on marijuana. Bob Melamede would say per ceptions of any art form or appreciation o f nature are deeper and richer on dope. “I started smoking grass when I was 16 and I’ve smoked five days a week ever since. I smoke with my mother and with my 81-year-old stepfather,” he explains. His breathless confes sion seems all the more surpris ing because Melamede is an assis tant research professor in the University of Vermont’s microbi ology and molecular genetics department. Although the evil weed has a reputation for wreaking havoc with intellectual clarity, Melamede demonstrates an ency clopedic memory of scientific theories about Cannabis sativa. The best one? “Right after a baby is born, mother’s milk has the highest concentration of internal ly produced anandamides,” he says, pointing to recent experi ments involving these natural marijuana-like substances in mice. “So the first thing your mother does is get you stoned, relax you from the trauma of childbirth and give you the munchies.” Melamede is one of three UVM faculty members who devote themselves to marijuana. While his advocacy-oriented approach is to smoke and praise grass to the skies, the others — Rick Musty and Alan Budney, who acknowledge they last inhaled as college students — simply study it. Presumably, hundreds of other Vermonters will be lighting up at an annual smoke-in on Friday at 4:20 p.m. on the UVM campus. Supposedly derived from a California police code for a pot bust, the “420” event — celebrated nation-wide — flies in the face o f those who see marajuana as a “gateway drug” that TESTING THC Research can easily lead youngsters to more dangerous, even lethal, nar Assistant Jennifer Dodge makes her mark. cotics.

no reasonable offer will be rejected.

As society grapples with the schism between reefer madness and simply getting a good buzz on, Musty continues the kind of intense research he began back in 1972. A psychology professor, he started by examining the effects of T H C — marijuana’s psy choactive ingredient — on rats and mice. “No similar studies had ever been done at that point,” Musty says. “We found that low doses of T H C increase curiosity and activity but impair short-term memory — all those things we now know.” T H C is what gets you high. But the umbrella term cannabinoid describes a range of other compounds found in marijuana, such as cannabinol and cannabidiol. Anandamides, which resemble T H C , are pro duced naturally in the body and seem to play a role in regulating hunger, memory, anxiety and other physiological and psycho logical mechanisms. Researchers using cannabinoids to test reac tions in lab animals or humans envision that science may some day employ marijuana com pounds to treat weight loss, obe sity, poor memory, chronic pain and a score of other problems. In 1973, Musty went to Brazil to spend a year at the Paulist School of Medicine, where a human study tested the impact of T H C and cannabinol.

Grass Acts Continued from page 23a nence, also believes the drug can be detrimental “if you’re not engaging in life by sitting around and smoking all day.” On top of the demands from his academic workload, he’s a self-described health nut. “I smoke a little dope before I go running,” adds Melamede, who suggests an array of potential benefits from marijuana: • The cannabis compounds our bodies produce appear to count er what are known as “free radi cals,” the harmful entities within us that apparently play a role in cancer, auto-immune diseases and even aging. • T H C can prevent brain and nerve cell damage, as well as relieve chronic pain. • Heart rate and blood pressure are controlled, in part, by cannabinoids. • TH C might inhibit the growth of breast and brain cancer cells, as well as prostate cancer. • A joint now and then might relieve the hassles and hazards of menopause. Melamede has put out a CD-ROM, entitled Medical Marijuana 2001, that includes published articles and interviews with cancer patients who have successfully used pot to alleviate their symptoms. Despite such dedication to the cause, he has no professional credentials when it comes to actual marijuana research. Budney and Musty rely on federal funding for their work — .from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Science Foundation, respectively. Although he is arguably the true aficionado of the bunch, Melamede says the university does not allow him to apply for research grants to study marijuana. Could have something to do with his decid edly subjective, pro-pot stand. He has run for political office as a candidate of the reefer-wor shipping Vermont Grassroots Party, broadcasts his own televi sion show, “Cannabis Cable Network,” on Channel 15, and organizes an annual anti-prohi bition rally in Burlington. At this year’s noon to 6 p.m. rally on May 5 in Burlington’s City Hall Park — coinciding with a variety similar gatherings around the world — Melamede has invited the Channel 2 Dub Band to perform in a customary pairing of reggae and getting gung-ho for ganja. Melamede is unable to attend the 420 shindig, however, due to a previ ous commitment to appear at a National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws con ference in Washington, D.C. His status as a passionate advo cate for the movement is unas sailable. “There are not a lot of scien tists speaking out in favor of marijuana,” Melamede says.

By Erik Esckilsen o one ever mistook Vermont for Big Sky Country. But the wide, open spaces of New Mexico were just what actor-director Vicki Pozzebon needed to bring her next local project into focus. While on location at the Rio Grande Gorge last August, where she was starring in a low-budget film, Pozzebon says she had a “revelation.” The mesa became a metaphor for possibility. “You just feel something there,” she says. “You feel like you can do anything.” ■■ The timing couldn’t have been better. Pozzebon had already committed to directing Jennifer Bloom field s new play, Coyote Dreams, but she was less enthusiastic about her future in the Burlington theater scene. “I had no idea why I was coming back, what I was going to do here,” Pozzebon says. “I wanted to have a reason behind it.” The mystical energy of the Southwest, combined with Native American motifs in Bloomfield’s play, brought the reason to light. Back in Burlington, Pozzebon and Bloomfield cofounded the Orange Theatre Collaborative, which will coproduce Coyote Dreams \n association with 135 Pearl. “Named for the sweet orange and its bitter rind; its cir cular, spherical shape that offers no finite en d ...,” as the group’s press release reads, the company is an anchor for Pozzebon and

Bloomfield, who also joined forces on Bloomfield’s acclaimed Escaping Warsaw in 1999. They also hope the Orange can open up collaborative opportunities for other artists.

designed for maximum mobility. Pozzebon is versed in the play’s Native American elements, having explored Native American histories and grown up in a remote Ontario town next to a reservation. But loosening her grip on the play’s reins has taken some getting used to. “I have moments when I think I need to stick to traditional movements, and I have to let go of that,” she says. “I want these charac ters to blossom and explode.” Many of those “blos somings” and “explosions” occur through actual dance. Some of the dances form transitions, while oth ers erupt in the middle of scenes, explains Pozzebon. But the choreography remains at least partially freeform throughout — “structured improvisation,” she calls it. The onstage drumming of P. R-Smith lends another improvisational element to the work. “The drumming takes on a life of its own,” Pozzebon says. “The drum ming and the dancing are really like a fifth character.” The movement, sound and imagery also draw inspiration from Native American folk cus toms, which the playwright researched in composing the script. Pushed to find alternative healing ways, the main character, Zeenie, turns to the hidden spiri tual life that sustained her in childhood, Bloomfield explains. While the imagery she encoun ters there has roots in Native American tradition, it’s more “a synthesis,” Bloomfield says, o f

— V ic k i Pozzebon ing Coyote Dreams, the tale of one illness-stricken woman’s journey into the spirit world of her Native American ancestry, Pozzebon eschewed traditional blocking for what she calls “authentic movement,” or move ment initiated by the actors. In fact, she says, the first few weeks of rehearsals relied very little on such traditional methods as, say, a script. Rather, drumming and improvisational dance inspired the actors to find their ways around a performance space

Coyote Dreams. things Zeenie has either heard about or investigated in some way. “It’s not specific to one tribe.” The same goes for the masks the cast and crew created for the play. While they may resemble Native American masks, they are more a reflection of the actors’ own visions of the ancestor-ani mals and spirit guides Zeenie meets along the way If Coyote Dreams sounds more experimental than one might expect from a group dedicated, as Bloomfield says, to making the ater “more a part of everyday life, a social event,” the founders are standing firm. For one thing, Pozzebon says, “It’s the approach that has been more unconven tional than the outcome.” For another, Bloomfield adds, “I believe the way you reach people is by challenging them.” Playwright and director both believe the immediacy of Coyote Dreams — actors and audience will share the space more inti mately than in more convention al works — will combine with the music and movement to cre ate a deeper connection with the audience. And that’s a big part of the O TC mission: “to reach the audience more sharply” Bloom field says. She adds that the time worn plays often staged by regional theater companies are “not my idea of what makes the ater more accessible.” W hat’s most accessible in

Coyote Dreams are Zeenie’s cor poreal, often dysfunctional rela tionships to her alcoholic moth er, Gracie, angst-ridden friend Hal and her wife Sheila. In the dawn of civil unions in Vermont, that last relationship strikes a chord. While Pozzebon acknowl edges that the production has garnered support from the gay community for its “gay marriage” depiction, Bloomfield is quick to note that the play’s themes are more universal. “We’re talking more about the choices that peo ple make,” she says, “how they deal with crisis, how they deal with love” — whether that’s pla tonic, familiar or same-sexual. “It’s about how we care for one another in sometimes not the best ways,” she adds. Bloomfield and Pozzebon seem confident their innovative style of theater will reach audi ences that, up to now, have demonstrated greater — though hardly great— support for warhorse musicals than edgy, origi nal drama. But in some ways, the collaborators have nothing to lose. “Since we don’t have any finances, we can take that risk,” Bloomfield chuckles. As if channeling a desert vision from last summer, Pozzebon sees it in slightly differ ent terms: “Let’s stop thinking about why we can’t, and let’s just move forward.” In other words, for the Orange Theatre Collaborative, the time is ripe. ®

who comes from that special place referred to in foggy acade mia as the “real world.” Mister Ed did wonders in the airline industry, turning Allegheny Air Lines into USAir. And he left behind a good reputa tion. Colodny hits campus this week just as hundreds of faculty members go to the polls to vote a union up or down. Mister Ed couldn’t be more at home. UVM union organizers have done a quick background check on President Colodny. They con tacted their opposite numbers in the national airline pilots and flight-attendants unions. They were told Mister Ed is, indeed, a “bottom line kind of guy.” They were also told he’s “principled.” One veteran of the airline labor wars told the locals Ed Colodny “wasn’t anything like Frank Lorenzo,” the notorious airline shark of the fast-buck 1980s who ran Eastern and Continental into the tarmac. Colodny, said the union folk, “is principled and was fair-handed in dealing with us.” Ed Colodny is a hometown Burlington, Vermont, boy who made good. Real good. A princi pled, bottom-line kind of guy who is fair-handed in his dealings with others. And a 747’s worth of “real world” experience. Sounds like Camp Catamount’s luck may have finally changed, eh? Statehouse Secrecy Update —

Republicans have fired back on critics of House Speaker Walter Freed’s embarrassing videotaping crackdown. GOP campaign guru George McNeill claims Lt. Gov. Doug Racine, a Democrat, kicked his camera crew out of the State Senate back in 1998. McNeill of Danby, the party’s Rutland County chairman, directed the GOP campaign effort to take back the House. Gorgeous George says he had per mission from the Senate secretary to shoot footage for GOP cam paign commercials. He says Racine, the presiding officer, kicked them out. Imagine that — Doug Racine, jack-booted thug! Racine says McNeill’s story is a lot of fooey. “It’s not accurate,” he told Seven Days. In the first place, the Senate secretary is not the presiding offi cer. As it is in the House of Freed, so too in the State Senate. Permission from the presiding officer is the protocol. Second, Racine says McNeill’s crew set up right in front of the room, blocking views. Racine recalls all he told them was that they had to move over to either side of the chamber, where the working press sets up. “Had I told him he couldn’t be anywhere in the chamber,” said Racine, “I would have heard about it from George McNeill and probably the press. For him to say I threw him out and he couldn’t be in the Senate chamber at all is wrong.” In fact, said Doug the Thug, when he first ran for Gov-Lite, he had to ask Lt. Gov. Barbara Snelling’s permission to shoot

campaign video in the chamber. Permission granted. Since, said Mr. Racine, he’s reciprocated for Mrs. Snelling. “What Walt did,” Racine told Seven Days, “was say, ‘I don’t like VPIRG so they’re not going to be anywhere in the House chamber.’ I never told George McNeill you can’t be anywhere in here.” Douglas Out of the Closet — People have suspected it for years. That perennial Republican politi cian Jim Douglas actually does have views on issues of the day. Douglas, currently the state treas urer, is running for governor. And to date, the cornerstone of his campaign strategy has been his refusal to discuss his positions on the issues of the day. But there he was Easter Sunday on WGOP’s, er, sorry, WCAX’s “You Can Quote Me.” Given the friendly confines of Ch. 3, Mr. Douglas chose his opening wisely. The questioners, Marselis Parsons and Tim Lewis, didn’t even bring up Jim’s gubernatorial campaign, until after the break, in the show’s closing minutes. Boy, did Slim Jim do a bob and weave. How would Douglas have voted on civil unions had he been in the legislature? asked Marsillyiss. “I would have voted to put it off until the subsequent year,” answered Douglas. “Vermont wasn’t ready,” he said, for “such a dramatic societal change.” Unfortunately, there was no vote to postpone. It was up or down. Yes or no. A moment for courage. But what if you’re the gover nor, prodded Parsons, what would you have done? In Gov. Jim’s World of Make Believe, the civil-unions bill wouldn’t have reached his desk. Douglas would have exercised “the leadership of the governor’s office” and swayed the legislature to slow down the civil-unions train. With “proper gubernatorial leadership,” he said, the bill would have never come to his desk. In the real world, however, a Douglas-sponsored delay would likely have led to the Supreme Court keeping its word to order marriage licenses for all couples, should the legislative branch balk. Kudos to Mr. Douglas for get ting through “You Can Quote Me” without revealing his person al position on civil unions and equal rights for gays and lesbians. In the spirit of Pulitzer Prize Week, we hereby award Jim Douglas the first-ever Seven Days “Slippery Salamander Prize.” Slippery Salamanders will be awarded on an irregular basis to mark exceptional public displays of political tongue-twisting on the Vermont political stage. Congratulations, Mr. Douglas! Correction — Charges against Statehouse lobbyist Will Adams were dismissed “without preju dice” by the court. That means the state is free to refile them. ®

It can. Each year 2 ,0 0 0 Vermont children start smoking. M ore than 6 5 0 of these children will die prematurely as a result. There's a simple, proven w ay to reverse this trend: raise the price of cigarettes to discourage youth smoking. It's a fact. When the price of cigarettes goes up, youth smoking goes down. Support the proposal in our state legislature to raise the price of a pack of cigarettes by 6 7 cents. It w ill save thousands of kids. Tell Vermont legislators that our kids are worth a lot more than 6 7 cents.

By registering, you will be eligible for great prizes including a weekend with an electric vehicle, monthly train and bus passes, gift certificates and more!

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year we pretty much take our commutes fo r granted. We climb into our cars in the morning, make the drive, park the car, and then repeat the whole process again in the evening, rarely stopping to consider that our daily ritual has global impact, namely pollution. Please join LCC, CCTA,The Champlain Flyer and area businesses and agencies in Curb Your Car Day on Friday, May 4th. The event is an opportunity for everyone to help reduce air and water pollution fo r a day by commuting in a low-impact way. If you register with the form below LCC will calculate your pollution savings and you'll have a chance to win one of the great prizes we've lined up fo r the event; O f course, everyone will win since we all breathe the air and drink the water!

While I was away last week, it looks like the Clear Channel Station Group (is that an ominous-sounding name or what?) bought Excalibur Media, which means it took over the relatively new Smooth Jazz station and moved it down the dial to 92.1. Clear Channel now owns 15 Vermont stations, cov ering said jazz as well as talk, sports, classic rock and adult contemporary. It’s part of a 1170-station chain nationwide. Gee. I don’t know whether to send out congratulations or condolences.

GET W IT H THE PROGRAM A lot of you nascent musicians would like to know “How to Get Gigs and Tour W ith Your Band.” And that is pre cisely what H al G a lp e r would like to help you do. The veteran jazz pianist, writer and teacher, who’s toured with the likes of C a n n o n b a ll A d d e rly and C het B a k e r, comes to the Haybarn Theater at Goddard College April 2728 for seminars on how to develop their careers.The fee is a cool hun dred bucks, but pre-registrants will get Galper s book, The Touring Musician, for free. Everyone will get a concert from him and Vermont bassist John R iv e rs on Friday night. Info, contact Don GlasgO at the Institute for Creative Music, 4548311, ext. 300. ROCK ON Along the same lines: You’ve heard of Rock ’n’ Roll High School? Well, now there’s Rock Camp, and there couldn’t be a cooler way to spend a week unless it involves ice cubes. H a rry S c h e n a w o lf — a teacher and member o f the V e rm o n t S y m p h o n y O rc h e stra — and L a m b s b re a d ’s B o b b y H a c k n e y have put together a summer program July 30 - August 4 with classes in vocals, music theory and other stuff all rock and pop musicians should know.

Teachers include Hackney and his brother D a n n is, Ta m m y F le tc h e r and G reg M a th e s o f The D is c ip le s , M ic h a e l C horney, formerly of V ip e rH o u se , jazz drummer Jeff S a lis b u ry and more. The day camp will be held at Mt. Mansfield High School in Jericho. Info, call 6517551, or vtschoolofthearts@ email.com. Vermonter D e n n is is keeping busy while exploring law schools. Recently relo cated from Boston to Jersey City, the former co-owner of Club Toast is a night manager at two Manhattan clubs — B.B. King’s and The Wetlands — and has already grown blase about famous-people sightings. He also manages a rising songwriter/ producer by the name o f Ryan L e s lie . Just signed to Interscope him self, Leslie has made his own discov ery in a young r&b artist named C orey. But Wygmans hasn’t forgotten Burlington; he still co-produces the occasional show at Higher Ground, including the ever-popular TOOtS & th e M a y ta ls this week, and an upcoming repeat performance from S iz z la .

DO GOOD DEPT. Raise your hand if you remember doing good works dur ing your senior year. Whether high school or college seniors, or even senior citizens, not all of us have devoted so much as an hour, or a few bucks, to charitable causes. So it’s all the more impressive that, for their senior project at St. Michael’s College, journalism majors M ic h a e l L o m b a rd and J a c q u e lin e L e c c e have organized “The Ripple Effect” — a benefit event for the Lake Champlain Land Trust. That organization buys and conserves land surrounding the lake, which in turn helps protect it from polluting factors such as sewage discharge and agricultural chemicals. Lombard and Lecce decided on music as the best way to get out the people and their pocketbooks. A con cert with Cape Cod’s popular acoustic trio C o n tra b a n d , this Thursday at Halvorson’s, is the centerpiece of a night that also offers up a raffle for prizes from sponsors Vermont Teddy Bear, Vermont Allstars Gear and Glass, Threads of Zion and Nectar’s. Go on, have a “senior m om ent.” This Wednesday night, the evercharitable D a r W illia m s performs at the Barre Opera House to benefit

Goddard’s W G DR-FM and Free ; Speech Radio News. It’s the first of her East Coast tour in support of grassroots community radio stations, which in turn have played the singersongwriter’s music over the years. W hat goes around comes around, no?

COLIN JAMES MCCAFFREY, W HAT W E’VE GOT (selfreleased, CD) — Jamie Lee Thurston is not the only Vermonter to go Nashville. East Montpelier’s Colin James McCaffrey has just recorded his debut CD in the land o f the Grand O l’ Opry, with Grammy-winning producer Bil VornDick. But while Thurston cranks out boot-scootin’, rock-biased material, McCaffreys is a kindler, gentler country. W ith What We’ve Got, McCaffrey reveals a penchant for midtempo, or slower, tunes with effortless rhymes and the kind o f sing-alongable, catchy melodies that stay with you long after you want them to. The guy cer tainly didn’t waste his tuition getting a degree in music composition at the Berklee College of Music. In fact, McCaffrey’s a professional songwriter for other people; his work is published in — where else? — Nashville. O ne of his songs, “Get the Nerve to Call,” has been recorded by Burlington’s Rick Norcross & the Ramblers, and he co-arranged the music for Vermont filmmaker Nora Jacobson’s Letters From M y M other’s Early Lovers as well as for Circus Smirkus. For his own first recording, McCaffrey is not quite so eclectic; nearly all the tunes have a similar tempo and feel, and a fairly mainstream sensibility — they make me think of James Taylor with more twang. The only trouble with the consistency is ear fatigue: You can only hear so many well-written lite-

country songs with hooky choruses, brilliant accom paniment by crack players, and impeccable produc tion in a row. A good problem to have, but McCaffrey might want to mix it up a bit more next time. The 10 songs here are mostly about love desired, obtained or lost, and McCaffrey manages the senti ments without the saccharine for the most part. In fact he comes across as a genuinely loving man. Among these, the title track and “Message For Your Heart” are the most memorable, though the slower ballad, “W hen You W ent Away,” is pretty sweet, and features harmonies from former Dixie Chick Patty Mitchell. But because it is the most unique, my favorite cut here is the wistful “Train to the Kingdom.” And no, it’s not the Northeast one; it’s about dyin’ and goin’ to heaven. Very pretty. McCaffrey has lined up a stellar crew of Nashville players; I especially like the interaction of dobro, fid dle and mandolin. In Vermont, he often goes solo with guitar, but this Wednesday, you can catch him with violinist Pete Sutherland at Good Times Cafe in Hinesburg. — Pamela Polston

(Wonderdrug, CD) — Tree’s new album doesn’t fucking suck.Their newest release, No Regrets No Remorse, is by far the band’s most musically adventurous album. Though a laudable effort, it results are decidedly mixed. Saddled for years with poor national distribution and promotion on smaller labels, Tree managed to carve out a sizable cult following through relentless tour ing. Masters o f the hardcore build-up, their success flowed from a simple formula: chunky hardcore riffs coupled with raw percussive vocals and plenty o f hi hat. ;\ W ith No Regrets, W onderdrug’s solid promotion seems to have made the band more relaxed and com fortable enough to push forward in new directions. The new album strays from the traditional Tree for mula and seems to have been heavily influenced by their label-mates, New Hampshire’s militia-core rockers, Scissorfight and the tragically defunct Sam Black Church. While musically this pays off in tunes

like the fantastic dirge, “Great Galactic Ghoul,” other songs, such as “Mexican Beer,” feel like halffinished thoughts. Unfortunately on this album the band’s front mart’ and lead vocalist, River, has opted to reject his tfademark snarl-and-bark for some decidedly neutered, melodic vocals. While drum mer Hinks, bassist Jake and guitarist Ooze seem invigorated, River’s experi mentation with different vocal styles seems halfassed. His usually inventive deliveries are replaced by tough-guy rap/rock posturing, which seem aimed at cracking the mainstream market. Likewise, the lyrics on No Regrets No Remorse suf fer in comparison with earlier efforts. The introspec tive, moody lyrics lack the warped humor and point ed politics of A Lot to Fear and Plant a Tree or Die. Don’t get me wrong, I love to see a good band grow but, frankly, the few outstanding moments of this album come when River reverts to his earlier hard core delivery: raw, strained and earnest. You’ll probably get plenty of that at Tree’s CD release party this Sunday at Higher Ground. The W onderdrug fest includes Scissorfight, Superkollider, 5 Seconds Expired and spoken-word artist Duncan Wilder Johnson.

These eight pencil drawings and eight paintings are not the Fauve-inspired landscapes of Dawsons line of greeting cards. Instead, she’s presenting images more strongly rooted in the imagination than a particular locale.

Sjnce the 1960s dental journals have been carrying articles with headlines like “The Suicidal Professions.” Dozens of studies have looked at suicide not only among dentists but among health-care workers in general. With few exceptions, research over the past 40 years has found that dentists (and doctors) take their own lives at a higher-than-average rate. But how much higher? To hear some tell it, you’d better not leave these guys in a room alone. Dentists’ odds of suicide “are 6.64 times greater than the rest of the working age population,” writes researcher Steven Stack. “Dentists suffer from relatively low status within the medical pro fession and have strained relationships with their clients — few people enjoy going to the dentist.” One study of Oregon dentists found that they had the highest suicide rate of any group investi Dear Cecil, I ’ve always heard that dentists have the highest suicide level of any gated. A California study found that dentists were surpassed only of the medical professions, but I ’ve never believed it. Is there any truth by chemists and pharmacists. Of 22 occupations examined in Washington State, dentists had a suicide rate second only to that to it? — Terey Allen, Trenton, Michigan of sheepherders and wool workers. But the sheer diversity of results has to make you suspicious. I mean, which is it — dentists, chemists and pharmacists, or sheepThis is one of those dodgy things that everybody knows. Not herders and wool workers? (What, the bleating gets to them?) just the uninformed public, either — dentists themselves believe And what about psychiatrists? One school of popular belief holds that they have the highest suicide rate. Read the studies and you begin to see the problem. Suicide research is inherently a little flaky, in part because suicides are often con cealed. Equally important from a statistical standpoint is the problem of small numbers: Dentists represent only a small fraction of the total population, only a small fraction of them die in a given year, and only a small fraction of those that die are suicides. So you’ve got peo ple drawing grand^conclusions based on tiny samples. For example, I see where the Swedes think their male dentists have an elevated sui cide rate. Number of male-dentist suicides on which this finding is based: 18. But you aren’t reading this column to hear me whine about the crummy data. You want the facts. Coming right up. All we need to do, for any occupation of interest, is (a) find a

large, reasonably accurate source of mortality statistics, (b) com- f' pute suicides as a percentage of total deaths for said group and (c) compare that percentage with some benchmark, like so: PERCENTAGE OF DEATHS DUE TO SUICIDE • U.S. white male population 25 and older (1970): 1.5 • U.S. white male dentists (1968-72): 2.0 (85 of 4190) • U.S. white male medical doctors (1967-72): 3.0 (544 of 17,979) • U.S. white male population 25 and older (1990): 2.0 • U.S. white male medical doctors (1984-95): 2.7 (379 of 13,790) • (See www.straightdope.com for sources, but trust me, they’re legit.) I know what you’re thinking. Percentages! They’re so primi tive! What about the Poisson distribution, the chi-square test, the multivariate regression analysis? Not to mention the fact that I don’t express suicides relative to 100,000 living population; that I haven’t corrected for age distribution, socioeconomic status, etc.; and that I couldn’t find any current data for dentist mortality in the readily available literature. Sue me. We’ve got enough here to draw some basic conclusions. Suicide among white male American dentists is higher than average but not as high as among white male American doctors. (Sorry to limit this to white men, but that’s all the data I had to work with.) Don’t fret, though. Dentists’ death rates from other causes are lower, and on average they live several years longer than the general population. Ditto for doctors. What’s the most suici dal occupation? I won’t venture an opinion for the world of work overall, but among health-care types it may well be shrinks. In a ; study of 18,730 physician deaths from 1967 to 1972 (men and women), psychiatrists accounted for 7 percent of the total but 12 percent of the 593 suicides. Even more alarming is the rate of suicide among female doc tors. A recent study found that 3.6 percent of white female doc tors’ deaths were suicides — higher than the rate for male doctors and many times the average for U.S. women (0.5 percent for 1990). Women have entered medicine in huge numbers in recent decades, but progress has come at a price. — CECIL ADAMS

Dear Riled, you are. A pineapple or a boxing glove would have been perfectly fine. In this culture, however, forcing one’s hostess to pose for a photograph while balancing a snerkeling flipper on her head strays over the line of common politeness. To be fair, however, perhaps "Hcrtcnia” simply forgot where she was. In Rhode Island, as I’m sure you know, a sncrkeling flip per on the head signals appreciation for a deli cious meal.
