anatomist claimed that decapitated heads reacted to stimuli, with one victim turning his eyes toward a speaking person 15 minutes after being beheaded. (Today we know brain death would have occurred long before.) In 1836 the murderer Lacenaire agreed to wink after execution. He didn't. Attempts to elicit a reaction from the head of the murderer Prunier in 1879 were also fruitless. The following year a doctor pumped blood from a living dog into die head of the murderer and rapist Menesclou three hours after execution. The lips trembled, the eyelids twitched, and the head seemed about to speak, although no words emerged. In 1905 another doctor claimed that when he called the name of the murderer Languille just after decapitation, the head opened its eyes and focused on him. Is it possible? The aforementioned Dr. Fink believed the brain might remain conscious as long as 15 seconds; that's how long caraiaoantst ^ctlms last before b f i g h g out.

Titanic sink the Savoy? It's

one of several factors contributing to a financial crisis at the Montpelier moviehouse that defines itself by swimming against the tide. In a recent fundraising appeal, the owners cite "betterthan-usual" competition from Hollywood — movies like Good Will Hunting, As Good as it Gets and Amistad— for six difficult months of diminished attendance. And, of course, there is always the "more general. . . struggle to survive as a one-screen alternative in an industry ^ ^ ^ W y driven by multiplex economics." With five screens down the street at the Capitol, "We are constantly on the lookout for that odd little film that is going to be really made for our audience," says co-owner Rick Winston. When that j odd little movie is being | distributed by Disney, I however, it is automatical| ly beyond their reach.

James Harvey horns in on the home turf By

Bill

Barton

he headliners get most of the attention — and the press — at the Discover Jazz Festival, but swarms of local players seem to come out of the woodwork during the weeklong fest as well, filling Burlington's every crevice with the sound of music. In fact, many of the brightest moments of the festival have come from local musicians. One of them is James Harvey. With his distinctive, weathered face and trademark black leather half-gloves, the native son has been seen around Burlington off and on for more than 20 years. Harvey's memorable music — primarily on trombone and piano — has taken him a long way from the horsebarn. It has also accompanied Harvey's journey from that other horse — heroin addiction — and back.

"I grew up on this farm in Duxbury that's been in my family for years," says the musician in an interview at Red Square, a downtown Burlington bar. His father, a former horsetrainer whose connection to "the ponies" goes back another generation, is still logging at age 68. His mother was a music teacher, and a trombonist, before she married and bore eight children. All the kids are musical, Harvey says — one sister is a professional singer and actress in New York; he'd taken up his mother's instrument pretty much by the time he was large enough to hold it. The next generation—Harvey's 18 -year-old son James J.—so far is more interested in being a writer. How did a rural Vermonter fall in with the most urban of music styles? "My mother used June .10.

1998

to have a record that had Vic Dickenson and Buster Bailey on it," Harvey recalls. "The first thing I learned off a record was Dickenson's trombone solo on 'Basin Street Blues.' That was, like, the only record in the house. Then I went into a period of listening to a lot of Jimi Hendrix and Sly & the Family Stone." It wasn't until Harvey was around 14, visiting a relative in Massachusetts, he says, that he heard Miles Davis' "So What," from his Kind of Blue album. "I said, OK, this is what I really want to do." From then on, the young Harvey would hitchhike into Burlington to buy records, and special-order what the stores didn't have. He also began to order records and books through the mail, quickly absorbing the history of jazz. It helped, too, that his band director at Harwood Union High School was open to the genre, and shared a Charlie Parker record with Harvey. "I think that's the first place I heard Don Cherry," he says. "He had that John Coltrane record with Cherry where they do all the Ornette [Coleman] tunes." Unable to find many others to play with in Vermont, Harvey left for the New England Conservatory in 1973. "Boston was going into this racial abyss; when they started burning school buses, I was making my living playing in ghetto clubs," he says. Around this time, he spotted a small ad in the back of a Down Beat magazine saying that Don Cherry was going to be teaching at Karl Berger's Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, New York. Harvey took off for the school, but it

turned out, he says with a laugh, that "Cherry didn't show up for another year or two. I was officially a student there for one year, then I hung around and worked for a couple of years. That was one of the big experiences of my life." Harvey played with Anthony Braxton and Jack Dejohnette, among others, and met Peter Apfelbaum, the leader of the band he would later join in San Francisco, The Hieroglyphics Ensemble. The Creative Music Studio also led to an important nonmusical connection in Harvey's life: Karl Berger was a student of Chogyam Trungpa Rimpoche, the internationally respected Buddhist teacher who founded The Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and Vermont's Karme Choling center in Barnet. Harvey's interest in Eastern philosophy fully blossomed when he returned to Vermont in the late '80s after his stint out West. He is currently "loosely associated" with Burlington's Shambhala Center, he says, and meditates daily. During his interview, at least, he appears calm and mildly amused. ack in the early 1980s, James Harvey was back in Vermont and working with new friends, such as saxophonist Dave Grippo, in various groups. Despite a fluctuating membership, his band The H-Mob developed a devoted following for its orchestral, rhythmically complex compositions and strong groove. Though Harvey had first developed his reputation as a trombonist, he also played guitar, keyboards and drums in The H-Mob. "I'm not really a virtuoso on

SEVEN:PAYS

anything," he insists. "On trombone I've got more technique than anything else." During The H-Mob years, he acknowledges listening to a lot of African music, as well as reggae and rock 'n' roll. Grippo calls working with Harvey "an extension of college," and cites the professional quality of his writing and playing — as evident back in the '80s as it is now. "He understands the music, the essentials of rhythm, melody and harmony," he says. "There's no guesswork involved with James." Grippo also reveals that his friend is "one of the most wellread people I've ever met — the 'reading-for-pleasure' part of his bookshelf includes things like biochemistry, books about the CIA, scholarly studies of Zen Buddhism. He doesn't even own a TV," Grippo continues, "and I think that says something about where he's coming from." By 1984, Harvey and Grippo were part of a wildly swinging hard-bop group with the darkly humorous name, The Crash and Burn Bop Cult.

" D o e s New York really need a n o t h e r trombone p l a y e r ? Or another musician, p e r i o d ? Burlington might actually be m o r e i n t e r e s t e d in h a v i n g me stick around." - James Harvey

The band played the music of Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Charlie Parker and the sadly neglected pianist-composer Herbie Nichols. As part of that first Jazz Festival, The Cult provided a furiously energetic evening of music at the Chickenbone Cafe, with Harvey coaxing a great sound out of a drum set that could charitably be described as somewhat scruffy — a big chunk was missing from the cymbals. It was shortly after this that Harvey moved to San Francisco to work with Peter Apfelbaum in The Hieroglyphics Ensemble. He played on two recordings — Jodoji Brightness and Signs of Life — with the group during his stay there, as well as on Multikulti with Don Cherry. The Hieroglyphics Ensemble's recordings got some glowing reviews in the jazz press, but were poorly promoted. So, in typical Catch-22 fashion, the label dropped the band because it didn't achieve the hoped-for cross-over success. Though it was a musically fruitful time for him, Harvey decided to return to Burlington, citing both financial and more personal reasons for the move. "San Francisco has a lot of really great musicians," he explains, "and you find that almost all of them leave because all the money's in Los Angeles or New York — as far as jazz playing goes, most of the moneys actually in Europe. There's no money in San Francisco, so you get this backstabbing thing over every little nickel-and-dime gig, and its a drag. I don't really thrive in that situation," he adds. "I'd Continued

SINGLE TRACKS Lester Bowie has been tooting along with Vermont school children as trumpeter-in-residence, but one of his favorite grown-up gigs was sitting in with viperHouse last March at Montpelier City Hall. This Thursday, prior to his headlining Discover Jazz gig at the Flynn, he repeats the viper thing over at Higher Ground . . . In more jazz news, the beloved and ailing pianist/composer Andy Shapiro has been given an award from the Vermont Jazz Center and the Discover Jazz Festival — in "honor of excellence demonstrated as a jazz educator and in recognition of your selfless devotion to the perpetuation of jazz." Hear, hear . . . DysFunkShun's Gravy seems to be ladling out the luck (well, of course, it's hard work, but whatever) — the C D has helped attract the services of New York entertainment lawyer Wayne Rooks, who's already got some label showcase gigs set up in NYC. Booking and management deals look likely...Good luck! Kennel proprietor Lee Diamond has found someone to take over her leash, er, lease. Local drummer/entrepreneur O m a n McLean will reorganize the 24-hour rehearsal space, while Diamond focuses on management of the boy-wonder, Seth Yacovone. Congrats all 'round . . . The latest Good Citizen got a glowing write-up in this month's Northeast Performer, with especially kind words for "Really Big Fires" by (sic). Way to be a...(you know). (7)

Lar Duggan Trios ethereal "Lope" is a wonderment of delicacy, and the closer, Option | Anxiety's "Remembering," doesn't break that mood. Overall this compilation favors the sweet and mellow — it's a stunning reminder of Vermont's jazz sawy, and "Volume One" suggests there's more where that came from. Despite tracks from diverse studios and sources, the eduction by Raphael Groton and mastering at Archer Studios keeps the sound quality remarkably seamless.

rather stay home — there's a lot of good people." But another reason for his return, Harvey concedes, had to do with trying to kick a longtime drug habit. Being in San Francisco apparently didn't help, though Harvey declines to give details. But asked whether it's easier to stay away from the drug scene in Vermont, he answers, "I think that no matter where you are you have to develop the determination." It seems to have worked for him: Harvey's worst habit now is unfiltered cigarettes. His drink? Non-alcoholic beer. When he left California, Harvey was in the midst of another life change: a break-

"To me that's perfect," he adds. "You'll just hear something and it gets to the point where you've just got to write a song. That's something that's mysterious to me. If I have to write something for a purpose, it's no problem. I find myself recomposing, reharmonizing, redoing, rethinking older things." Harvey notes that after early explorations being on the "outside," he's now more attracted to "a more active harmonic thing," and to structure in music. "I'm still really interested in the 'out' structures like Anthony Braxton's or Cecil Taylor's. I finally got to play with Taylor, which I never dreamed was possible. I did an orchestra project with him in San Francisco that was definitely the high point of that whole period." Now 41 — and less inclined to sport those leather gloves — James Harvey looks and sounds healthier and happier than he ever did in the dark days when he was known as the "jumping junkie." And the embarrassment of riches the Discover Jazz Fest affords is a & cry from Harvey* Burlington experiences of the '70s and early '80s. "It's still odd to me to walk into some place and hear them playing jazz," Harvey remarks. "You walk into a coffee shop and they're playing Sonny Rollins; you walk into another place and Eric Dolphy's on the radio. To me that's great. It's something you couldn't even imagine back then." Not that the money's gotten any better. "I was talking to (bassist] Stacey Starkweather a few months ago, and somebody was lamenting about not having any money.

uch of history might be called a string of small incidents, intersected by occasional large ones that make the books. In the case of Dizzy Gillespie and the "spitball story," some say a small incident turned into a sea change in the history of jazz music. And Jean Bach has it all down on film. Bach is a remarkable 79year-old whose debut as a documentary filmmaker came just four years ago with the awardwinning A Great Day in Harlem, shown last year at the Vermont International Film Festival with Bach herself in attendance. That story was about a morning in August 1958 when a young Esquire magazine art director managed to assemble 57 jazz greats for what proved to be an epochal photograph. How Bach came to be the designated documentarian of that event is another story. Suffice it to say that some leftover footage from the making of that film had Gillespie and bassist Milt Hinton teasing the spitball incident that got Gillespie fired from Cab Calloway's band in 1941. It aroused Bach's curiosity enough to ferret out the truth, shooting a chat with trumpeter Jonah Jones, and piecing

together a fascinating slice of jazz history in the first half of the 20th century. Thus was born "The Spitball Story," a modest 21 minutes of interwoven interviews with the three former players with Calloway, whose band was one of the most popular — and economically successful — of the big-band era. Indeed, the short is as much a mini-documentary about Mr. Hi-Dee-Ho as about the incident referred to in the title, a testament to Bach's instincts, and resourcefulness, as a stillnovice filmmaker. But then, born at the close of World War I, she's got heaps of been-there experiences to draw from, as audiences at the film's screening during the Discover Jazz Festival this Friday can, well, discover. Besides his formidable prowess as an entertainer, Cab Calloway was known for running a tight ship, and he wanted his music played a certain way. That's why the young Dizzy Gillespie often got himself a scolding for tootling what Calloway called "that Chinese music." Gillespie was also a junior-high-level prankster, and one of his favorite pastimes in the band was shooting spitballs at fellow members — sometimes even into the audience. Like any Continued

One day, though, a spitball landed in the pool of light surrounding Milt "Fump" Hinton during a solo, and Calloway saw it. Apparently, it was the last straw. Enraged, the band leader fired Gillespie on the

"He had such charm, particularly to a naive person like me," she recalls of Ellington. "It didn't occur to me that anything would go wrong." Nothing did, in fact, and Bach's personable enthusiasm for all things jazz won her entry to the homes and hearts

The "Spitball Story" made the annals of jazz history, anyway, because Gillespie, freed from Calloway's musical restraining order, went on to birth the sound called bebop, the infant of modern jazz. spot, despite his protestations that he wasn't responsible — this time. After the show, Hinton relates, a skirmish ensued in which Calloway socked Gillespie, who in turn cut Calloway on the hand with his switchblade (apparently a popular accoutrement at the time). It was a minor affair, but because of the bandleader's fame, made the headlines instantly. Just who shot that particular wad of paper remains a bit of a mystery — "Everyone was at sixes and sevens about it," says Bach. "That's why I did the movie." The "Spitball Story" made the annals of jazz history, anyway, because Gillespie, freed from Calloway's musical restraining order, went on to birth the sound called bebop, the infant of modern jazz. A gracious, white-haired grand dame replete with pearls and elegant manners hardly seems the likeliest teller of jazz tales. Like most music fans, Bach simply attributes her taste to what she heard growing up — her father's record collection and, more importantly, the airwaves. "Dizzy Gillespie was my age," says Bach. "I grew up in the age of radio, and he said he listened to the same trumpet player I did — Roy Eldridge — so my ears were pretty good." But Bach's unique life and disposition in fact had her not just listening to but rubbing shoulders with many of the genre's players, from the moment she met Duke Ellington in 1936 on the eve of her high school graduation. In that fateful encounter at a Chicago hotel, Ellington invited the ingenue to visit him in New York when she j une

of many of the musicians later captured in that 1958 photograph. A photograph, incidentally, she knew nothing about at the time — until she spied it in Esquire. But making A Great Day in Harlem was preceded by a career that unfolded into journalism — writing features for a Hearst paper in Chicago — television production, and, the longest spell, 24 years as the producer for New York's most popular talk-radio program of the time, "The Arlene Francis Show." The only child of well-todo musical parents — and later step-daughter to a famous ballroom dancer and celebrity in her own right, Irene Castle — Bach has always been what you might call well-connected. But her jazz affiliations were her own. Bach's first husband was big-band trumpeter Shorty Sherock; she calls her transition to second husband Bob Bach a "segue." A pioneering television producer, Bob shared his wife's enthusiasm: He had the first network show on jazz on TV, called "Adventures in Jazz," and decades later produced a feature on Duke Ellington for PBS. In between, he invented and produced the wildly popular game show, "What's My Line?" With characteristic understatement, Bach says the program "kind of paid the rent for 27 years." Her husband was apparently known as much for his lavish parties as his TV entertainment. Widowed since the mid'80s, Bach continues to live in her memorabilia-filled New York apartment near Washington Square. She doesContinued on page 18

onge Brothers Meat Market has been a cornerstone of neighborhood convenience for over half a century in the • heart of the south-central district of Burlington. For the last 13 years Phil Varricchione has served as its venerable owner. He's also endured the shifting sands of the Vermont retail and service industry scene, where the big boxes have come to dominate, the small mom-andpops to become relics of the past.

"I knew I was in trouble when I saw bachelors loading up their freezers with meat from Costco," Varricchione semi-jested recently. " That's when the glory days of the small meat market were over." Behind the counter at Longe Brothers, the freezers now sit empty, hollow reminders of those glory days. The meat counter is now used to chop a chicken here, a pork chop there. In the legislature just past, a confluence of environmental and business forces helped Varricchione in two ways — stores like his became a symbol

Fights against acid rain, toxins and keeping diapers put of landfills gave Vermont a national reputation as a state that strove to keep its environment clean. But in the state with the premier environmental reputation, does the environmental lobby still have the hand that rocks the legislative cradle? The answer is more complicated than the question, as shades of gray replace the time when things seemed so blackand-white. These days environmental lobbyists and their friends think their accomplishments are quite significant, while their opponents deem them less effective — and less controversial — than they used to be. At the same time, environmental and business lobbyists, who 10 years ago were at each other's throats, these days sing the song of cooperation.

But Bach is hardly fading into retirement: She's working on the third film in what will be at least a jazz trilogy, this one focusing on Gerry Mulligan. There was all that unused footage from Great Dayy she explains, "and I hate waste." Meanwhile, "The Spitball Story' is ready for the viewing — a small gem that twinkles with wit and shines with Bach's adoration of jazz and the trivia that enlivens its history. It's a film even a rock fan can love.

The Vermont International Film Festival presents "The Spitball Story, "June 12, 7p.m. at Burlington City Hall Auditorium. Also showing is Daniel Jenkins'documentary, "Tea Dance, "featuring the late Doc Cheatham, at 6:30 and 7:30 p. m. Both films are free and open to the public.

"Members of the Sierra Club ask all the time what's happening in Vermont," says Adam Necrason, the organizations representative here. One bill regulating cell towers that passed this year is held in high regard, as its an issue with which every state is graj Vermont's bill municipalities to cite towers and issue a six-month moratorium — is a good example of local control. "In the rest of the country we see these bad audit bills being passed, giving pollution immunity to industry," asserts Necrason. "We've been holding the line, dealing with the evolution of issues with business." O n issues like cell towers, campaign finance and sprawl, he adds, Vermont still provides national models. However, environmental initiatives have been humbled over the years by many factors, say the lobbyists who have often opposed them, and even one lawmaker who has often sided with them. Ellis cites a large demographic change in the legislative representation: a more "yuppie" influx into the state in the late '80s — people more cautious with their policy choices — as opposed to the more radical "hippie," back-tothe-land migration in the '70s.

o just how did environmental policies fare this year? VPIRG s numberone priority, the bottle bill, never made it out of committee. A backup plan — recycling — made it out, but later died in the Senate Transportation Committee, whose Chairman Dick Mazza (D-Grand Isle) runs a convenience store in Colchester. Expanding the deposits on containers to include all the new ones on the market — ice teas, juices, "designer" waters, e t c . — has been a priority for the group for most of the decade. The recycling bill would have mandated recycling throughout the state. Mazza, as part of the Democratic leadership, killed the bill for fear they had already bitten off enough for one legislature. The Chairman of Senate Natural Resources, Elizabeth Ready (D-Addison), a longtime ally of environmentalists, tried in vain to get the bottle bill ouc of her committee, but could not get a majority to support the move. Ready and Carter

were too strong, saying the hardest-fought environmental victories across the country were bottle bills. In fact, there hasn't been an expansion of a container law since Maine's back in 1992. And the last time a container law passed was in California in 1986. The bill's number-one opponent in the Statehouse, j une

the economy," he points out. "Which is O K as long as we show our respect and concern for the environment." Kerrick Johnson, environmental policy coordinator for Associated Industries of Vermont, agrees that the biggest change has been in the legislature itself. "There used to be a handful of people who called the shots and now there are many more factions," he asserts, "making it more laborand resource-intensive to advance your position." In the big picture, environmentalists point to victories over sprawl with the passing of Act 60, the education reform bill, and a downtown bill that will help folks like convenience store owner Varricchione. A campaign finance reform bill to take effect in the year 2000 is also seen as an eventual victory for Vermont's environment. Calling it second only to Act Today dealing with them is 60 in importance, VPIRG's less an issue, he adds, because Carter says that "campaign "the hundreds of new containfinance is paramount in terms ers, like juices and water, are of moving the environmental handled by a sophisticated agenda because it's a systemic recycling system."

wenty years before Robert Shaws The Man in the Glass Booth was first produced in New York City, Allied authorities were combing the smoldering ruins of the Third Reich and questioning all German bureaucrats as part of the "deNazification process." When a 38-year-old Ministry of Economics expert on international trade named Otto Ohlendorf was asked the routine questions, he stated that except for a year of official duties elsewhere, he had been in Berlin for the entire war. When pressed about his year of "official duties," Ohlendorf coolly stated, "I was chief of Special Action Group D." The Einsatzgruppen labeled A, B, C and D were the roving death squads who implemented Hitlers "final solution" before the camps were fully operational. Similarly, during much of Green Candle Theater's version John Alexander as Arthur Goldman of The Man in the Glass Booth, the audience is compelled to wonder just who the leading character — real estate developer Arthur Goldman, played by John Alexander — really is. Is Goldman an unhinged during the quiz-show scandal Charlie Cohn, Goldman's perHolocaust survivor, or an unreof the 1950s, the unmasked sonal secretary.

J O I N Y E S T E R M O R R O W FOR A SPECIAL H A N D S - O N

Afun-loving group of aerobic Vermonters carry on a bizarre British running tradition lie, bi-weekly runs, including Olympic rower Carlie Geer, UVM historian Neil Stout, UVM naturalist and marathoner Bernd Heinrich, Elizabeth Bassett, author of the just-published Nature Walks in Northern Vermont and the Champlain Valley, and John Easton, a former State's Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate. On the day of the hash, the member who's volunteered to serve as "hare" spends several hours "laying hash," that is, marking a maze-like, two- to three-mile course with sprinkled flour. Unplanned events can sometimes make a hash of this hard work, like the time Green Mountain hasher Glenn Gaotano had just finished laying a trail through Ethan Allen Park when a sudden cloudburst literally wiped it out. Setting a course can also be a hairy experience. Neil Stout tells the tale of a hare who was once laying hash on Beacon Hill when someone saw the flour spots, thought they were poison being put out for pets and called the Boston Police. The hash run itself begins when the rest of the runners convene at the designated starting point. Some hashes require special attire. In a capital hash run by the White House Hash House Harriers, everyone had to wear a red

dress. When a passer-by asked what was going on, a hasher reportedly replied, "We're Transvestites for Ollie North." Once assembled, in whatever clothes, the runners attempt to follow the flour. "It's not a race," explains Pat Travers, who is laying this week's hash at the Ethan Allen Homestead. "You don't go from here to there in one straight line." Let's say the trail begins in Burlington's Battery Park. A circle of flour, called a "check point," marks the starting place. Five flour spots on the perimeter of the circle lead in five different directions. Calling "Checking left," a harrier heads towards Beansie's bus with a pack of followers at his heels. A second harrier shouts, "Checking right," and runs to the band shell. A third group follows a trail that leads down the hill. When the Beansie's bus group reaches the police station parking lot, they find a flour "T," indicating a dead-end, and reverse their course. The group going down the* hill finds the floured words, "on on," someone shouts, "On flour!" and everyone else runs in that direction. The course might lead just about anywhere: through a cemetery, over a railroad trestle, down a shin-biting slope, Continued on next page

hashers running in Li • Rock sent the Secret Service panic. The officers r e p o r t s , pulled their guns — until a secret serviceman who happened to also be a hasher himself explained what was going on and called them off. Elizabeth Bassett recalls a Thanksgiving hash she once ran in Boulder, Colorado. "The hash started at a motel parking lot, then went under the Interstate and through a storm sewer, then followed the storm sewer for miles beneath all these parking lots," she says. The tunnels got smaller and smaller, until the group found itself on its hands and knees, straddling water. "There we were, covered with mud," she says, "and we had to come above ground and go through Neiman Marcus and ask the clerk at the Elizabeth Arden display for a clue. We went into Victorias Secret, sat on Santas knee. It was quite a hash." Eventually, the group finds the floured finish line, marked, "On home," and proceeds to the apres run "hash bash." Depending on the personality of the particular group, this might include just about anything. Hash house Web sites — of which there are hundreds — abound with bad limericks, dirty new lyrics for familiar old tunes, and gleeful tales of beery hashbash debauchery. At the hash bash, the group's "Religious Advisor" distributes "down downs," in which designated hashers have to down a drink in one toss, or pour over their own heads whatever they cant get down their throat, while the rest of the harriers sing a silly song. . First-time hashers are always subject to down downs. Other offenses that might merit a down down include wearing new shoes, getting lost or acting like an "SCB" — a "short-cutting bastard" — who catches up with the crowd by taking the most direct route, rather than following the trail I Besides doling out down downs, the Religious Advisor also assigns hash names like Wee Willie Wanker, Power Tool, Sweet Ass and Crippled Bitch. , The standard joke about hashers, not surprisingly, is that they're drinkers with a running problem.

"We just get together to enjoy the runs," quips Religious Advisor Dave Kissner. Instead, the clean Green Mountain Hash House stresses runs set in beautiful, outof-the-way locations, followed by friendly poduck dinners. "Our house would probably get kicked out of the international group if it was known that we don't do down downs," Kissner admits.

as cheery in its delivery as it is eerie in its implications: "A small number of men experienced certain sexual side-effects...women w h o are or may be pregnant must not...handle broken tablets because of the risk of a certain kind of birth defect." O h , yeah, that's just what a guy needs when his hair starts falling out — a drug that turns him into a eunuch and scares away women. W i t h recently established advertising liberties for the pharmaceutical industry, there are more television ads for new drugs than ever, and a surprising number of them contain disclaimers so scary you'd think they'd cancel out the marketing side of the message. T h e packagers of the herb-based Ginkoba promise to increase alertness and brain power, but admit that it hasn't yet been "evaluated by the FDA." W h y not? Did it slip their minds?

When it comes to commercials, the proof is the fine print n life, we hear, its the little things that matter most. Certainly this is true when it comes to the wonderful world of television advertising, where a bit of small print flashed for an instant can turn out to be the most significant element in the commercial message we've just watched. N o t to mention the most difficult to read. Whatever the pitch, there's almost always a catch, and the manner in which some advertisers camouflage these catch-phrases has in this Age of Springer spiraled scurrilously and comically out of control.

Remember the good old days? W h e n I was a kid back in the halcyon '60s, a person would sit through an ad for this or that promotion and the most cautionary or contradictory thing he or she would hear at the end was, maybe, a "void where prohibited by law." H o w innocent, how quaint that disclaimer seems by today's lax, stretched-to-the-max standards. As I recall, things started going downhill in the '70s. * Along with wife-swapping and disco, the era spawned the granddaddy of trick disclaimers — the one

responsible, in my opinion, for opening the floodgates for future fudging, mindgames and outright deceit. I'm sure you've seen it a thousand times. T h e scene — a cozy table set with a tall glass of orange juice, an apple, say, a stack of buttered toast and, in the middle of it all, a bowl of milk-sodden, artificially fortified tooth-rot such as Cocoa Puffs or C o u n t Chocula. And over this Daliesque image, the equally surreal tag line, indicating the cereals are "part of this complete breakfast." Well, for God's sake, you could have flopped Captain Crunch's severed head in the middle o f all that healthy food and it then would have been part of that complete breakfast, too. T h a t didn't make it nutritious.

W h a t did they take us for — idiots? Well, yes, evidently. Because, in the '90s, they've only gotten more brazen and more condescending. "Take your contacts off before using," we're reminded by the helpful makers of Patanol, a prescription eyedrop that offers relief from minor itching. Hey, we never would've thought of that. Maybe they figured viewers would be so distracted by their helpfulness they wouldn't catch the last-minute caveat: "Some people may experience headaches, burning or stinging." H m m m , think I'll Stick with the itching, thanks. And you've got to love the spot for the hair-loss drug Propecia, which concludes with a voiced disclaimer that's

T h e migraine medicine Zomig offers help for your headache, but cautions you to consult a doctor first due to risks involving serious dangers to your heart. Right. Pass the aspirin, Dr. Mengela. Zyrtec's spots invite you to trade your allergy symptoms for new ones such as "drowsiness, fatigue and dry mouth." W h i c h left me wondering if someday a company will market a drug to people suffering from drowsiness, fatigue and dry mouth, but caution them that it "may make you feel like you have allergies." And humans aren't the only segment of the

population forced to make these tough choices. I saw a .r. T V spot the other day for a medication that treats arthritis in dogs. It included the warning that "some sideeffects, such as liver trouble, may occur," but the warning was only in English. Is that ethical? Shouldn't some trusted, media-sawy canine like Beethoven or Benji be barking that valuable information to the sick

power, hasn't yet been

puppies in the audience? While some disclaimers are terrifying, many seem calculated to confuse or deceive. "Free 12 minutes!" promises the ad for Psychic Talk USA, the most visible of television's many reading services. Only briefly and in small print do we ever see the qualifier: "Must sign up for long-distance service charge." It doesn't take a gifted psychic to see that those 12 minutes won't turn out to be a gift after all. 1 A typically Kafkaesque example comes courtesy of an outfit calling itself Bank of America.

t A L k i n G m Christof (Ed Harris), "The Truman Show" was conceived as a cradle-to-grave peep show, offering viewers around the world the opportunity to look on as a real human being lives his life unaware of the thousands of hidden cameras tracking him. Enclosed in the bucolic but artificial community of Seahaven, and surrounded by actors posing as his family and friends, Truman gradually begins to suspect that something's up. His ensuing existential crisis provides the show's highest ratings, as well as the most serious threat ever to its continuation. The script by Andrew THE TRUMAN (Gattaca) Niccol brings the whole preposterous affair brilliantly to life, SH0W*** 1 / 2 and is the perfect compliment to If you weren't just the right age at Weir's Ozzie-and-Harriet-in-Thejust the right point in the history of Twilight-Zone vision.

But the primary inhabitants of this Pompei-like hell are small, delicate figures of white, unglazed clay paralyzed in various forms of torment and agony. Arranged in descending order as if they were steps on a spiral staircase, they are an unhappy bunch of gluttons and sodomites, flatterers and userers. Below the drama unfolding at eye level, Van Fleet has copied the poem, in the original Italian, on panels of masonite. Above it are actual photographs of the clay figures, displayed eerily and effectively, on pieces of opaque cloth. r The Inferno's storyline is fairly straightforward. Midway through his life, Dante goes astray and becomes lost in a dark wood — sort of a Middle Ages mid-life crisis. His path to the light is blocked by three wild animals. As he is about to give up in despair, the Latin poet Virgil appears. It is Virgil's task to guide Dante through hell. His is also the whitegloved hand at the end of the several surrogate arms which

tall man pushes aside the black drape of the enclosure and steps out. "I've just been through hell," he says, oddly composed. In his case it is literally true. He has just emerged from "A Guided Tour of Dante's Inferno," a sculptural installation by Janet Van Fleet now on view at the Rose Street Artists Co-op in Burlington. Although it takes some guidance to get there — where is Virgil when you really need him? — it is well worth a visit in an otherwise forsaken section of the Old North End. A year and a half in the making, Van Fleet's 11-sided self-contained structure is a multimedia creation of clay, papier-mache, terra cotta, fabric, watercolor, spray foam, iron and recycled materials. It is a huge work, in keeping with Dante's monumental vision. The structure itself, 14 feet in diameter, 9 feet tall and built of masonite, looks like a small chapel. But its contents are hardly holy — Dante dreamt up tortures that make the stations of the cross look like a Mediterranean vacation. The "tour" begins on the outside of the structure, where

Beanie not only has unusual talents that come in handy during art receptions, but he is the object of Klein's loving obsession — and artwork. The artist and his canine reveal a new and classic assortment of "Beanie Boxes" at the Aldrich Library in Barre.

made sure her classroom was "arts-intensive." Van Fleet's desire for a large art project coincided with her decision to take a leave of absence from teaching. "I'd been doing it for 10 years, and I saw the beginnings of myself becoming the bitchy, old-lady teacher," she says. "I knew I didn't want to go down that

A work of this magnitude comes with its own torments. "There were some very painful times," Van Fleet concedes, "when I was filled with selfdoubt, sure that it was never going to happen, wondering why I was killing myself in a freezing garret in St. Johnsbury, covered in cold, wet clay." But the experience also changed her in a profound way, teaching her about herself and the process of doing art. Now one of her hopes is to take her installation to non-traditional venues, such as factories, manufacturing firms and the St. Johnsbury Correctional Institution. "Can you just imagine the great discussions about punishment they'd have there?" she asks. Would she ever consider working on something this large and complex again? Van Fleet shakes her head dubiously, but doesn't rule it out. She now feels free to try other forms, and is working with cloth over wire and some wood sculpture along with her painting. "One thing I've learned is that I am able to do the kind of work I want to do.

the successful initiatives led by the Sierra Club and VNRC. Although the clear-cutting law — requiring state review of cuts over 40 acres — generated a storm of opposition from some logger groups and citizens in the Northeast Kingdom, it was supported by AIV, who saw some of its smaller manufacturers being adversely affected by large clear-cuts. Others saw it as a great land grab by the state and formed a group called Property Owners Standing Together (POST) with the goal to post a million acres across the state. They had hoped to repeal the law this past year, but were unsuccessful. There's no doubt that the Dean Team tilted the scales back to business after taking over in 1991 from the environmental '80s. But his spokeswoman argues that the Governor's focus on fiscal prudence was not at the expense of the environment. Pointing to the Housing and Conservation trust, this year's farm bill and the Governor's attention to limiting sprawl, Sue Allen claims, "While kids and the budget have been the main themes coming from the Dean page

Administration, the environment has also been a big piece of the Governor's agenda. "The change might be that, before this era, there was just conflict, but now there's compromise," Allen adds. "Sides that were always in conflict are now sitting down to work

"There used to be a handful of people who called the shots and now there are many more factions, making it more labor- and resourceintensive to advance your position." - Kerrick Johnson Environmental policy coordinator, AIV together." AIV's Kerrick Johnson agrees. "In the '80s there was an interesting confluence of events, one being that many of us down there [in Montpelier] were new, on the whole. Now," he says, "we know each other, we communicate with each other better, and maybe we've all mellowed." If the legislature has changed, so has Vermont itself, and as such, so have the issues of the state. Many environmental irritants now come from more subtle sources than the big, bad corporate entities that were such easy targets in the '80s. With sprawl come

questions as to how we live, more than who's responsible. Cleaning up the lake involves not only runoff from farms, but the constant, everyday use of automobiles. Noting that environmentalists have become more pragmatic and realistic, Kevin Ellis also says that businesses have come around, too. Consequences on both fronts are now considered. "Environmental issues have always been something that people who didn't care about could run away from," he says. "Well, we can't run away from global warming." If the pendulum shifted from environment in the last decade to the economy in this one, some suggest the time may be right for an era of balance, where a consideration of both is essential in any policy discussion. How things will work after the next election is anyone's guess. The impending return of Joan Mulhern, who plans to come back to Vermont in a few years, could tip the scales. Just a few weeks ago, as counsel for the Ralph Naderled group Public Citizen, Mulhern jousted with President Clinton and Vice President Gore on the floor of the U.S. Senate on a tobaccorelated issue. She beat them, too.® S E V l N

Yeah, I'm sure it's a real comfort for senior citizens to know they've got their nest eggs in this basket. Some disclaimers are perplexing in that they appear to directly contradict implications and suggestions made in the commerical's script. Still others are just perplexing, period. Recently I noticed at the end of a perfectly reasonable Midas Muffler spot the tiny words "not available in Alaska." Huh? Are we to assume, then, that these mufflers are available everywhere else on the planet? That we can pick one up the next time we're in Baghdad or Bejing, but if we're about to hop a plane to Nome, we'd better get our muffler-shopping out of the way first? The makers of Oil of Olay's "Age Defying Series" had me scratching my head over their latest TV ad. Following a spoken guarantee for "younger-looking skin" was the caveat "certain restrictions apply." What do you bet this has something to do with Joan Collins? My favorite came from an ad for a Jeep Cherokee lease offer. At first it sounded like a fabulous deal: "Remote keyless entry." "Power windows and locks." "Air conditioning." And then the small print: "Wheels shown extra." I phoned the Federal Trade Commission to ask what laws there are relating to such matters as the size of type used in TV disclaimers, their content and the minimum amount of time they need to be displayed in order to insure that humans other than, you know, Evelyn Wood and Rain Man, will be able to fully absorb their content. Imagine my surprise upon learning that there aren't any such laws. Instead, the government has chosen to go with a sprawling, loosely organized morass of guidelines and policies pertaining to the subject of deceptive practices in general.

The FTC press office was kind enough to fax me a summary — all 20 pages. And talk about fine print. Where disclaimers — they call them "disclosures" — are concerned, there seems to be little more than an honor system in place. Advertisers are encouraged to do business on the up-and-up, to refrain from making misleading claims, to avoid implying one thing and then reversing that impression via a disclaimer. Advertisers should not attempt to distract the viewer's attention away from a disclaimer. Advertisers should make sure that "all qualifying disclosures are legible and understandable, clear and conspicuous." In a random monitoring over a five-day period, I must have come across three dozen TV ads that flagrantly violated the agency's guidelines. That's the trouble with the honor system. It doesn't work when people using it lack honor. Well, at any rate, that explains the freewheeling, frontier-style attitude so prevalent in TV advertising today. Sure, FTC Chairman James C. Miller III has vowed that his agency will "investigate and prosecute, where appropriate, acts or practices that are deceptive." The catch in this case is that little, if any, penalty or repercussion awaits deceptive advertisers unless some consumer lodges an official complaint with the FTC, and that consumer additionally can prove material harm from a product. Only then, it seems, will the machinery of the agency go into motion, and good luck getting anyone in Washington to feel your pain when you call up saying, What gives? You've been eating all these fat-burning health bars, but you're ballooning up into a total tub anyway! One thing seems certain: We need TV police. Little is going to change until we have a system in which concerned couch potatoes can be deputized to make citizen arrests when exposed to fudgy or fraudulent TV ads. Until that day, the deceptions, large and small, will continue, and society will sink ever deeper into cynicism. Truth isn't the only victim here. All of us suffer when scoundrels flourish and accountability is a bitter joke. Besides, I'd give anything to see Paul Reiser and Candice Bergen do hard time for making those annoying long-distance phone service ads. I'd have them in the hole faster than you can say "10 cents a minute." And the best part of all: When I hauled them down to the station, I wouldn't let them make their one phone call.* (7) *The opinions expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of this newspaper or its publishers.

ship recently became long-distance when my boyfriend went to graduate school out of state. He recently asked me to send him a pair of my unwashed panties. I think this request is majorly yucky.
