NAME GAME "A rose by any other name..." How about a Moore by any other name? To set the record straight, indeed; to relieve my identity crisis, let the word, henceforth, go forward: The Ed Moore identified in Ms. Peggy Luhrs' letter to the editor (Weekly Mail, September 3), is not yours truly. I, the other Ed Moore, am the Executive Director of the Downtown Burlington Development Association (DBDA). Our focus is on the economic vitality of Burlington and, although the Burlington Women's Council might play a role, it has never been an issue with our organization. And besides, I don't even know how to spell missogonist, messaginest...oh, forget it! — Ed Moore Burlington ON T H E RIGHT TRACK Lately there has been a barrage of letters against Peter Freyne. My guess is most of the letter writers detest him not so much because of what he writes, but what we the readers are allowed to read. We get to know something that they wish we didn't know. We learn more about local politics and controversial issues in one column by Peter Freyne than we will in a whole week of news from the local daily. I think that Inside Track is the defining column of this newspaper. If Mr. Freyne didn't offend some people he wouldn't be doing his job. If you don't want to be offended, spend 50 cents a day for a daily paper, and read filtered articles designed to tell you nothing. — Steve Comeau Richmond

THANK-YOU NOTE T O FREYNE To attack Peter Freyne and defend Fred Hill? So what was it that Mr. Freyne said that exacted such venom from so many readers? It is not as if Mr. Freyne went hunting for Mr. Hill, child molester. Mr. Freyne simply knows the probable relationship between smoke and fire. And since when is the reporting of a federal crime — child pornography, no less — sleazy reporting? Hellooooo? Are we dizzy? Get off your heads. Mr. Freyne's effort on this issue has been a community service, and he deserves a nice collection of thank-you notes. While Vermont Public Radio does deserve recognition for having the good will to bring back into the fold of society a convicted child molester, and for instating a policy that informs all employees of his criminal history, they should also be held accountable for upholding their own internal notification process and, more importantly, acting decisively when a federal crime is committed on their premises. VPR welcomed this convicted child molester. They gave him a good, apparently secure position with substantive responsibilities and presumably some encouraging support, including a set of guidelines and expectations relative to his illness. So they gave Mr. Hill another chance and he is good, from all accounts, at what he does for VPR. Wonderful. But it is in this environment, this caring, compassionate and generous environment, while on the job, mind you, that Mr. Hill [allegedly] forgoes his work for a

few moments of criminal depravity. Mr. Hill is seen viewing child pornography, a federal crime, on a VPR computer at work. He just couldn't help himself? He had to see pictures of young children? Was it that he felt safe doing this at work? Did he just have to get it out of his system? But what will he do when he gets home? What will he do on his way home or on the weekends when he walks to the park full of children playing? These are all legitimate fears. Child rapists are recidivists, right? Fear may be recidivist behavior as well, but when it comes to our children and convicted predators, we admit our prejudices without shame. How many of us with children would have this man as our neighbor? I doubt any hands are raised. Compassion has a very short leash when it comes to sex crimes against children. It's a volatile sickness worthy of quarantine. Attacks on Mr. Freyne and Seven Days seem naive and reactionary. Convicted and released child molesters should rarely get the benefit of the doubt, and never get the benefit of committing linear crimes. Mr. Freyne doesn't come out and shout it, but VPR should dismiss this man for doing what he did...In this case, "disciplinary action" is a near-empty pledge to the public VPR serves. — Richard Donnelly Burlington OLD D O G / N E W TRICKS Dear Mr Freyne, I have an old dog who is quite nice, and I am reasonably certain that he could learn a new trick, like peeing on your leg. I think if you want to start kicking dogs (Inside Track, September 3), you should have phrased the "...nice old dog" as being the PTZ news team. If you would try to learn some "new tricks" you could ascend to be half the newsman Andy Potter is. — Kraig Richard Starksboro PUPPY TRAINER Once again your readers have been subjected to the hate-mongering of Peter Freyne. Freyne's recent vulgar, pathological rantings, "VPR's Dark Secret," has exceeded his prior limits of bad taste. Freyne offered no information that would make this story "news" in the eyes of any respectable journalist. The key words here are "respectable" and "journalist." Once again, Freyne proves he is neither. By publishing such trash Seven Days becomes a newspaper worthy of nothing more than paper training puppies. Freyne supports convicted drug dealers whose greed has destroyed coundess lives through addiction. These unrepentant criminals are model citizens according to Freyne. Fred Hill paid his price to society. He has acknowledged the wrong he committed. I applaud VPR in hiring an individual who has shown serious commitment to change. I urge VPR to stand firm in their support of a valuable employee and not to give in to the mentality of a pit bull. Fred has never sought to hide his crime. His own actions remind us that forgiving is not the same as forgetting. Fred has done all that society has demanded be done in retribution for his crime. He has spent the past decade rebuilding his life. His wife and children deserve better than the trash Peter Freyne passes off as reporting. Peter Freyne's pathology cannot be allowed to hide behind the term journalism. His vicious personal attacks are directed not at informing but at destroying. Seven Days, and most importantly its advertisers, need to examine their commitment to truth and justice. An integral part of a just society is forgiveness. When retribution is complete, forgiveness is justly demanded. It's time Seven Days replaced Freyne with a journalist. Let Freyne continue his rantings on bathroom walls. Until then, does anyone have a puppy they are training? — Dennis McBee Burlington

HO-HO'S RISING STAR i He's having more fun than a kid in an 1 amusement park. Mention his out-of-state trav| els and he jokes about the electoral votes his H destinations offer. And put him on CNN's • "Crossfire" up against Patrick Buchanan and 1 Oliver North and he takes no prisoners. | Gov. Howard Dean jumped into the m "Crossfire" breach Monday evening because, as • Buchanan said, they couldn't find 1 a Republican to come on the pro| gram and defend Bill Weld. m Weld, as you know, is the * Massachusetts brahmin who earli1 er Monday withdrew from the | recent Mexican standoff with Sen. Jesse Helms over the ambassadorship south of the Rio i Grande. | Ho-Ho was marvelous. He a can certainly tangle with the " best of them and come out on I top. Buchanan treated him like | a potential running mate in 12000, while Oliver North, the " former White House aide and 1 gun runner to the Contras, got | demoted from lieutenant | colonel of sleaze to private * before a national audience. 1 What a dummy! | Ollie, the grandstander, | whipped out a copy of the U.S. J Constitution (at least he didn't • wrap himself in the stars and | stripes), to argue that Weld was | dissed by Jesse the Dinosaur, a according to the rules. "The • senate shall have the sole J power..." read North, but Dean cut him off at | the knees. Ho-Ho forcefully pointed out, "It - doesn't say the Senate Foreign Relations • Committee chairman shall have the sole power. 1 It says the Senate, and the Senate never got to | this and they should have." ' Fifteen-love. * • • '>! • But Olfie North boasted that his talk show | callers respect Helms for sticking to his guns. | "That's like saying the schoolhouse bully has the I right to say what he's going to do, punch you in the • nose, and then should be admired for upholding | his convictions," replied Dean with gusto. | Thirty-love. When North suggested that Bill Clinton • should have nominated someone from a state I that borders Mexico, Dean hit the bull's-eye. | "How about Governor Bush?" suggested Dean, • referring to the Republican governor of Texas • and son of the former President. I "I'd be in favor of that," quipped Buchanan | with a belly laugh. (After all, Buchanan will • probably be in the running once again himself.) Forty-love. I Truth be told, Oliver North was no match | for Howard Dean. Ho-Ho demonstrated his • savvy political instincts and insight before a * national audience. He called Weld's defeat a vicI tory "for the conservatives inside the | Republican Party, and it's going to cost them • [the presidency]. You're going to continue to J nominate right-wing people," said Ho-Ho to I the Lt. Col. of Sleaze, "and drive people like | Bill Weld out of the Republican Party, and • you're never going to hold the presidency as ? long as you continue to do that. You really I don't get it." | He was right. Oliver North does not get it. a Game, set and match. J Still Missing — Chittenden County's contro• versial assistant judge, Althea Kroger, remains | among the missing. You'll recall she took a 8 powder last March 3 pending the Supreme * Court's decision on her conviction by the "Judicial Conduct Board. The Supremes eventu| ally whacked her with a one-year suspension | from judicial service, but she remains a - Chittenden County official with co-responsibil• ity for the county budget, along with fellow | assistant judge, Elizabeth Gretkowski. Sources

say Althea went back to her hometown of Chicago for a breather; she's been sighted around town of late, but not anywhere near the courthouse. A call to her Burlington home to inquire of her status was not returned. If Althea doesn't want to go back to work for the citizens who elected her, then it would be appropriate for her to resign. "It would give another person a chance," said Gretkowski, "and help me going into the last year of the term." Judge Ski says the governor would appoint Kroger's replacement. (Former state senator Tom Crowley's been mentioned as a possibility.) It's time to move forward," said Gretkowski. "The county deserves two assistant judges and we are being cheated out of that." Cop Contract? — It's been almost a year and a half since Burlington cops had a contract with City Hall, but Cpl. Tim Green, president of the Burlington Police Officers Association, told Inside Track this week, "things are going pretty good at this stage." Green declined to discuss any issues that may be prolonging the contract settlement between the Clavelle administration and the men and women in blue. Must be a secret? Media Notes — WPTZ reporter Jeni DiPrizio recently wrapped up her Vermont news career to head back to Michigan, only this time to a much bigger market. Jeni's gone to WJRT, the ABC-owned station in Flint. News Director Stewart Ledbetter says he's got 100 applicants who want to replace her. One of them in the running has to be hometown girl Carolyn Roy, who parted company with WVNY a couple weeks ago. Roy got her start at WCAX. Carolyn told Inside Track this week, "I will pop up again in this market." Replacing her on the newsbeat at the local ABC affiliate is Rachel Smith. Originally from Albany, Rachel's a May graduate of Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications. And the Big Kahuna of News, a.k.a. Marselis Parsons, is back on duty at WCAXTV. Marselis missed six weeks due to a detached retina. Serious stuff. Two surgeries anc six laser treatments later, he tells Inside Track he hopes to be back anchoring Vermont's nightly newscast of record sometime this week. Yahoo, Sununu! — The former New Hampshire governor and White House chief of staff, John Sununu, gave a speech at the Sheraton Tuesday on behalf of Key Bank. All the suits were there. However, Sununu declined to disclose the fee he's collecting from Key Ban] for his talk series. "It's always less than I deserve," he said with a smile. The sometime "Crossfire" co-host touted Mr. Potatoe...sorry, Potato Head himself — Dan Quayle — as his choice for the GOP pres idential nomination. "I think he's the smartest of the bunch," said Sununu. Say no more. But he did. And he had some surprisingly kind words for Vermont's socialist congressman Bernie Sanders, said Sununu, "likes being the one in 435 that he is by not being a member o the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, think he's defined a very special role for himself," he said, "and he does it well. We don't agree philosophically, but that doesn't mean I don't admire how successful he's been politically. He certainly has marched to his own drummer, and anybody who can do that successfully deserves everybody's respect." Okay. Then how come OP Bernardo hasn't been invited to come on "Crossfire"? "He's welcome to come on any time he wants," replied Sununu. Oh, really? We shall see. ©

Please note the distinction here: I'm paid to be a crank, a fact my editors have seen fit to remind me of not once, but twice in the last week — a week I will always remember as Diana Week, naturally enough, and about which I still cant think without stifling a small sob. True, I took some real satisfaction in seeing the British royal family, that miserable collection of stone-faced snobs, take it right between the eyes in Westminster Abbey as a billion people looked on. But I guess I haven't been clear enough, or loud enough, about my negative feelings generally.

:A conductor and a violist are standing in the middle of the road. Which one do you run over first? A: The conductor. Business before pleasure. But what if the violist and the conductor are the same guy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vermont Youth Orchestra conductor Troy Peters? The Vermont Symphony Orchestras Kate Tamarkin praises Peters, who's also a composer, as "a good guy" who's done a 'fabulous job" with the VYO. VYO cellist John Burnett lauds the 27-year-old conductor as an all around "funny guy" who enjoys Nirvana and can beat the pants off just about anyone at the computer trivia game, You Don't Know Jack. And John Canning, VYO Association Board chair, credits the conductor with turning "a good student orchestra" into "a great student orchestra" in just two seasons. Peters came to the VYO in 1995 from Philadelphia, where he graduated from the prestigious Curtis School of Music and served as assistant conductor for the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra. Since he began his tenure in Vermont, according to Canning, average concert attendance has grown from 500 to nearly 1200, and the number of musicians auditioning for slots has nearly quadrupled, from 60 to 230. Why do so many kids want to get in on the act all of a sudden? One obvious reason is a seismic shift in the 34-year-old organizations philosophy, a shift spear-headed by Peters. Hoping to raise the standards of the Youth Orchestra itself and to open the orchestra experience to more students, the conductor nudged the VYO into

Vermont Youth Strings accommodates the over-abundance of string players, and Vermont Youth Flutes will begin later this year. Though selection for the Youth Orchestra remains highly competitive, Peters' first cono p p o r t u n i t y , and cern at the June auditions is the l i e e x p e r i e n c e of musicians' genuine interest. "Then it's a question of finding b e j n g a m o n a i p e e r s the most suitable placement," wno arern , he says. Having found the right spot I S e m r a r r a l e d to for each musician, the conductor's next task is to find the right music for each ensemble. Peters puts a high premium on repertoire. He seeks out pieces audiences on what he calls a that will challenge his players, "musical journey."

hopes to major in ethno-musicology or music history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; disciplines he didn't even know existed before working with Peters. "Aside from the actual mechanics," Turner says, the conductor shares historical and literary notes that "add a whole new dimension" to the music. And Peters builds his programs around themes. This fall, the VYO is focusing on fairy tales. The orchestra is working on Humperdinck's Prelude to Hansel and Gretel, Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty, and Sibelius' Violin Concerto, a work that wasn't written with any specific fairy tale in mind, but nevertheless "plays into the sense of mystery present in the other pieces," according to Peters. High school senior Dorian Vandenberg-Rodes, who started on the violin when she was four and now serves as the VYO's concert mistress, is soloing. And in a repeat performance of a work written for the orchestra eight years ago by VYO manager Carolyn Long and UVM pro-

fessor Tom Read, they're playing "Sunrise Fable," a narrated story with musical illustration. At its debut, ice cream makers Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield handled the speaking parts. This year, VPR folk host Robert Resnik will do the honors. Every fable has its moral, and the moral of "Sunrise Fable" is particularly appropriate for a group of musicians playing as an ensemble. Read puts it this way: 'If you want to have an effect on things, it's best to work together." To illustrate this lesson, the music moves from fragmentation to full orchestration, a format that forces the players to pay extra close attention to each other. "It's hard to fit into the larger mosaic," says Read. The VYO helps its musicians work better together by kicking off each season at a 10day residential camp. This is a time for extended rehearsals, lessons that shed light on the composers' lives and the times they lived in, and intense socialization. Canning, a VYO alumnus, helps to arrange trips to Montreal, sledding parties and other social activities throughout the year. "The better they know each other the better they perform," he says. In fact, for many of its members, the orchestra is as much a social outlet as a musical opportunity, and the experience of being among peers who aren't embarrassed to work hard and excel is one to cherish. Flutist Rachel Jeffrey, a high school junior from Northfield, auditioned for the orchestra twice before gaining her seat this year. She describes the three-hour Sunday rehearsals as her favorite part of the week. "This is the place for me; these are the people I want to be with. I can't believe there's this group that are normal kids the Continued on page 28

POST PARTUM

Congratulations to Burlington City Arts and the musicians, volunteers and supporters in this town who pulled off last weekend's Music Conference. Special kudos to the gargantuan work of Lisamarie Charlesworth and Jen Taber of City Arts and freelance organizational consultant/production manager Tom Baggott. An official head count at the conference has yet to be determined, says Charlesworth, but it looks like "a couple of hundred" registered. Representatives from 10 labels came — and reportedly partied hearty. Not surprisingly, the label panel was packed. Some of the others, however, were poorly attended. (Just wanna get signed and not slog through any of the other work, do we?). Granted, it was fun to make the rounds at night and hear everything from hardcore to jazz to bluegrass. Charlesworth notes that the biggest buzz among label types was about DysFunkShun, Chin Ho!, Belizbeha, Wide Wail and Invisible Jet. Bands to watch out for, they said. "Things came off surprisingly well considering the early disorganization of City Arts and the poor performance of the original producer of the conference," opines Baggott. "I was disappointed by the lack of attendance by the more established musicians. But the invited guests expressed satisfaction and were enthused about the Burlington music scene." Baggott says he's looking forward to working on the next one — but has some strong opinions on how, and when, the next Burlington Music Conference should occur. More on this soon, no doubt.

Hey, musicians! Wanna take a test? A personality test, that is. Find out scientifically who has more je ne sais quois, your bass player or your drummer? Just kidding, of course. That's not exactly the point of a study being conducted by Castleton psych major Brian Redmond. His senior research project involves sending out surveys about drugs and personality, using a handy little questionnaire called the Eyesenck. While he has no conjectures about the personalities of

musicians generally, he wants to explore the relationship of drugs and personality. H m m m .

BEAUTIFUL WORDS

I noted here last week that the poem read by her sister at Princess Diana's funeral was the lyrics to an It's a Beautiful Day song. Turns out those lyrics were found carved in stone at a university where the band had played in 1968, reports "Big Ed" Chester of Vermont's Promised Land Records. IABD's singer/violinist David LaFlamme told Ed the poem, which he then made into the song, "Time Is," was written by a 19th-century Presbyterian minister. Amen.

WATCHING BIG BROTHER

s F eaking of Big Ed, he's also revisited history lately by recording not only LA.BD but fellow '60s San Francisco icons Big Brother & the Holding Company. O n e fervent Vermont fan of that band — or, more precisely, its late singer, Janis Joplin — is Peg Tassey Ayer, herself the inimitable vocalist for Velvet Ovum Band. Through Ed, Peg got in touch with BB and booked 'em a couple of gigs — at Burlington's Club Metronome October 22 and an as-yet-unconfirmed date at Johnson State College October 24. What's more, Peg is going to sing one of her own songs with the band, and it will be recorded live. "For me this is payback," says the Hardwick musician/mom. "This is like a dream; as a kid I just sat and listened to Big Brother all the time. That's what inspired me to sing." V O will also open for the Bro. Talk about a Combination of the Two...

MAKING THEIR POINT

According to R&R, a radio industry paper, Vermont's W N C S T h e Point ranks number two in the country for Adult Alternative stations, right behind KAEP in Spokane, Washington. An article in the September 5 issue notes the stations large increase in Arbitron ratings for the Spring period — a jump which Music Director/deejay Jody Peterson attributes in part to giving the station a

usan Halligan disappears when she touches a keyboard. The virtuoso pianist becomes the music, and in so doing carries her audiences on a transcendental journey through the headiest music written by Ravel, Chopin, Rameau, Mozart and Beethoven. At a recent concert in Derby Line, Halligan played with the kind of mastery only an expert can bring to the instrument. The alternating tenderness and intensity of Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin was almost too much to bear. When she played Beethoven's Sonata in A Flat, the individual notes fell into a cauldron of trills. At the finale, Halligan brought Chopin's Ballade in G Minor to a state of utter catharsis as she drove her fingers into the keys. At an age when most people are focusing their lives on retirement, 58-year-old Halligan is working like a twentysomething. She is seriously performing and recording, and not exactly easing into it: Halligan is tackling some of Beethoven's most difficult piano music. "I'm starting a chapter I didn't know was there," she exclaims. Last spring, Halligan and her collaborator, 36-year-old contractor Paul List, completed a recording of Beethoyen's .

This turning point in Halligan's career came three years ago, when she began teaching music theory to List and ended up learning the Diabelli Variations — "never in a million years" had she thought of performing them, Halligan says. While List has had very little musical training, he's had a lifelong affinity for Beethoven — Halligan claims he has a "mysti

Gardeners go for April. Graduates have a thing for May. But for critics and theatergoers, the magic month is September, when arts organizations across the country unveil their offerings — and for a brief moment, art in America gets the attention it deserves. Pouring over four-color brochures chock full of music, dance and theater, you make an impossible vow — to go to everything. Vermont is still a mecca for world-class performing arts, but federal funding cuts have changed the landscape over the past few years. Tried-and-true is back — generally speaking, non-academic offerings seem to have more popular appeal than in years past. Presenters are making an effort to work together, which makes good geographical sense and keeps artist fees affordable — the Flynn and the Hopkins Center share six programs this year. Although a few organizations have cut back their programming, or turned to more mainstream shows, the overall offering is still impressive. The Flynn does more and more events every year. The Lane Series lineup is the strongest it has been in a long time. The Vermont Symphony is expanding. And small presenters like Catamount Arts, Vermont Mozart Festival, Crossroads Arts Council, Onion River Arts Council and the Chandler Music Center are hanging in there with a vengeance. Two new, er, old venues are back on the map. The cross-cultural Haskell Opera House is hosting the Vermont Symphony Orchestra this fall in Derby Line. And the Vergennes Opera House is venturing into small-scale presenting. Volunteers have been working for more than a decade to restore the derelict post-and-beam art palace to its former glory. Nothing like a really long intermission to get you psyched for Act Two.

un o n Fridays! MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE CENTER FOR THE ARTS

he director of the Middlebury College Center for the Arts decribes her season as "a wonderfully kept secret." And a lot of commercial presenters in the surrounding area would like to keep it that way. The college subsidizes the arts programming to the tune of thousands of dollars a year. For less than a 10 spot, you can see the Tokyo String Quartet, Peter Serkin or Emanuel Ax in one of the most unusual, acoustically sound concert halls in the state. Susan Stockton brings in world-class acts to complement the event produced by individual academic departments, not to compete with them. But the unique design of the multi-million-dollar art center, combined with a few persistent structural defects, have made programming outside events a challenge. When the black-box theater, dance studio space and concert hall are in simultaneous use, it makes for some wild intermissions, and a total audience of 800. The bigger issue is availability. The dance studio and theater are usually tied up with local productions, which means "the concert hall is really the only venue available," Stockton says. That said, her imported offerings are mostly classical music: Orlando Consort,

Aurora Nova, Cyrus Chestnut Trio, the Angeles String Quartet. Stockton is especially excited about Peter Serkin, who is also performing in Montpelier for a much higher ticket price. "He is at the apex of his career," Stockton says. "People say he has never been better." But great music is not the only reason to make the trip to Middlebury. Multi-generational choreographer Liz Lerman is the featured lecturer this fall. And if you missed Eiko and Koma in the Winooski River last summer, you can catch them on dry land in conjunction with an exhibit of Japanese prints from the Carnegie Museum of Art.

With a museum in house, Middlebury is well equipped to make the link between visual and performing arts. Similarly, Rehearsals Cafe also makes the occasional culinary connection, serving appropriate cuisine. Throw in free parking and great movies and you have got yourself a cultural "destination" — even if the skylights do still steam up occasionally.

THE HOPKINS CENTER

ombine the proflic programming of the Flynn with the financial security of Middlebury College and you have the Hop — a cultural goldmine offering the most extensive cutting-edge arts programming in the Upper Valley. Some acts have come through Vermont before, like Spalding Gray, Joe Lovano and Sweet Honey in the Rock. Others are playing in both places this season, like Don Byron's Bug Music, "Global Divas" and R. Carlos Nakai. But the Hop gets plenty of programming that never heads north. Pearls for Pigs, by theatrical "genius" Richard Foreman, for example, a vaudevillean tour of a surreal landscape that programming director Margaret Lawrence says is "unlike any other theatrical work anywhere. It is not narrative theater, and yet it is fascinating and never, never boring." Equally intriguing is The Beast, by Donald Byrd, which combines dance and Brechtian theater to explore themes of domestic violence. Like Bill T. Jones, Byrd makes work that is rooted in contemporary social issues. "They won't just come here and perform," Lawrence says. "They will come here and interact with social service professionals, go into high schools to show excerpts, have discussions about domestic violence."

Like Middlebury, the Hop is particularly strong in music, as its concert hall is more accessible than its dance and theater spaces during academic semesters. But in addition to bringing accomplished artists like Midori and Eliot Fisk, it is also dedicated to up-and-coming musicians and composers. Pianist Allen Feinburg is scheduled to play a new work by American composer Mark Kuss, which incorporates vocal tracks from Spiro Agnew and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Frederic Rzewski will play the first two parts of The Road, his own piano journey in 64 chapters, or "miles," complete with rest stops and excursions. It's well worth the trip.

operettas written by John Philip Sousa . . . The Paramount Theatre is stilt off-limits, but Rutland audiences are raring to go — wherever the art is. Crossroads Arts Council programs a number of venues, from the Castleton Fine Arts Center to Ramshead Lodge at Killington Ski Area. And its in-school educational program is even more extensive than its nine-show showcase series. Look for Livingston Taylor in the lineup, along with I Musici de Montreal, mezzo soprano Margaret Lattimore and the Leon Parker

PERFORMING ARTS

t would have been easier for Arnie Malina to prepare the audience for the sax appeal of Sonny Rollins, the Asian intrigue of the Peking Opera or any other act on the Flynn Theatre season. But his first stage appearance, before a lessthan-capacity audience, was in anticipation of Japanese butoh choreographer Min Tanaka. "It wasn't that bad," Malina says of the performance, which was expected to be challenging. Afterwards, "Some people were like, "God it was really beautiful. You've gotta bring more stuff like this.' Others were like, 'I'm not sure I liked it, but I'm glad I came.'" Flynn audiences have been trained to expect more than "entertainment" from the myriad shows presented there. Acts like Tanaka and the Throat Singers of Tuva require a a willingness to be transported to a different place or time. And the final destination — be it Crown Heights in "Fires in the Mirror" or a Southern courtroom in "To Kill a Mockingbird" — is not always a place you feel like hanging your hat. Comparatively, the new lineup is pretty easy to negotiate — a varied landscape of theater, dance and music that is about as accessible as it has been in recent years. Jumbo names like Rollins, Mandy Patinkin and Ray Davies of the Kinks share the bill with large ones like Dee Dee Bridgewater, Don Byron and Kate and Anna McGarrigle. Even the dance is high profile. The Merce Cunningham Dance Company is on a major national tour that starts at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. His rigorous training ensures the 15-member company will be a sight to behold. Equally easy on the eyes are Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and Susan Marshall. Da skinny on the Jazz Tap Hip-Hop Festival is that it is going to be sizzling.

e season <

ive years ago, the Onion River Arts Council

got $50,000 from the National

Endowment

fo r the Arts. Last year it was down to $7000.

This season it will be more like $4000. More

than any other burg in Vermont, except maybe

nners and DDS. . . . T

St. Johnsbury, Montpelier is feeling the effect of federal culture cutbacks.

"In a community this size it is very, very dif-

ficult to make up that kind of loss," says director Diane Manion. The Barre Opera House holds less

than half the capacity of the Flynn.

Big corpo-

rate underwriters consider the Montpelier market

too small. And in general, people are not willing

' is b

to pay more than 25 bucks a ticket. Those fac-

directed by Brooke WetzeL The | Cabin Fever Music Series picks up in January, after Arcadia, Cole, Shadowlands, The Strange Passenger, The Baby Dance and Wind in the Willows . . . A fall launch for Show Boat still looks likely, despite a poor showing of black actors at the Lyric Theatre auditions in Burlington. Granted, the show is not exactly Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk, but music director Peter Bouchard insists the musical is historically signficant, providing a "clear line of demarcation between the light and jazzy shows of the early 20s, and the more developmental serious productions of modern music theater." Casting The Wizard of Oz should be easier, and less controversial, although the Burlington theater company is looking for celebri• 1 to piay a number of roles. Snelling and K a t e H are Look for the conductor of Vermont Symphony Orchestra on •brookstick. I

tors seriously limit what events come to the capital area. And it may account for a little more

"popular" programming on the Celebration Series

at Barre Opera House, featuring the sons of Jose Greco, Thelonious Monk and Rudolf Serkin.

The eight-show lineup is as diverse as they

come, with popular and classic music, dance,

theater represented in almost equal quantity. The two dance selections promise to be sell-outs. A subcompany of Pilobolus features solos and

duets from the larger repertoire. And the son of

Jose Greco is carrying on the flamenco tradition of his father, with a company that mixes tradi-

tional and modern Spanish dance.

As for music, Onion River offers opera,

gospel, classical and popular varieties. Richie

Havens will perform in Montpelier for the first

time. Ditto for T.S. Monk and Mighty Clouds of

Joy — the first gospel group to appear on "Soul Train." Perhaps more remarkable is the rare

appearance of pianist Peter Serkin, whose performance was underwritten by a number of anony-

mous individuals. Increasingly, says Manion, "we

are relying much more heavily on local businesses" for financial support.

But money is only a means for Onion River.

" W e want more than good entertainment,"

In addition to

its high-profile series at the Barre Opera House,

Onion River facilitates extensive arts program-

ming in the schools and in social service agen-

cies. Ten percent of its tickets are donated to

Damn Yankees or Joseph

Manion says.

Manion says. "A lot of these shows have social

value, or some history to them."

Why adventure advocates opt for adrenalin Bv

David

Healv

hen adventurer George Leigh Mallory was asked to explain his desire to climb Mt. Everest, nearly threequarters of a century ago, he replied, "Because it is there." Today, even after we've put men on the moon, adventurers still seek challenges, and they are still there. John Abbott, a 31 -year-old from Huntington, describes his passion for adventure with another quote: "A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not what a ship is made for." One of two Vermonters to re-create pioneering expeditions this past summer, Abbott says that, like it or not, life is often about sailing in open water. Adventuring, he argues, offers opportunities to grow and learn that help people prepare for the inevitable rough water in their lives. In early July, Abbott literally took to the sea as part of an 11member crew of Viking Voyage 1000, an expedition which sought to re-create ^ Ericsson's T^* ^ 1500-mile pioneering voyage from Greenland to the New World. An accomplished alpinist and the staff advisor for outdoor programs at the University of Vermont, Abbott came to the small replica of a Viking vessel with little more than a healthy respect for the power of the ocean. "It was my sailing Outward Bound experience of sorts," he says of his learning curve. Midway through Abbott's voyage, another Vermonter set out on a 26-day quest to retrace the steps of a very different kind of pioneer. Back in 1927, Catherine Robbins Clifford was the first woman to hike the length of the Long Trail. This

summer, Amity Clifford, along with her older sister Cara Clifford Nelson, hiked the 270mile trail to raise money for the Long Trail Protection Campaign — as well as honor their 95-year old grandmother. "The general idea was to recreate my grandmother's endto-end hike, but it turned out to be a lot more than that," says the exercise science major at Castleton State College. "It was a time to get away from it all, to remove myself from the chaos of society and take time to think and discover myself." Long before Thoreau sought life's meaning at Walden Pond, people have taken to the wilds for self-evaluation and discovery. What's noteworthy, however, is that in the psychological wanderings of individual adventurers, so many of the same paths have been traveled, the same states of mind reached. With experiences as

different as the Green Mountains of Vermont and the icebergs of the North Atlantic, for instance, Clifford and Abbott seem to have marched to a common beat and returned home singing a similar tune. "Being out on bow watch at two in the morning, where my only job was to make sure we didn't hit icebergs, all there was to do was to contemplate the

universe and my place in it," Abbott recalls. "Out on the trail," adds Clifford, "where getting up and walking is your only responsibility, so many thoughts go through your head." Paradoxically, adventurers seem to find serenity and enlightenment by walking the razor's edge in

relative solitude of the trail has helped transform her. "I don't know how to explain it, but I changed a lot," she says, noting she needed a certain level of anxiety to accomplish things in her pre-Long Trail life. "I learned a lot about myself out there; I've become a lot more relaxed and focused." Abbott, who spent more than a month with the same 11 sailors aboard the opendecked

short — the crew had to abandon the trip until next summer. "I don't want to say I wasn't disappointed," says Abbott, "but your goal is constantly being mediated by environmental conditions beyond your control — all kinds of crazy things happen." Whether you're climbing or sailing, a benefit of the expeditionary process is that the unpredictability of the environment and the future forces you to live in the moment, Abbott believes. tA °ngT

darkness. "If you put yourself in situations where you know you're the only person capable or responsible for getting yourself out," theorizes Abbott, "the insights and understanding of who you are and what your strengths are accelerate." Clifford, who had challenged herself as a relay team member on long-distance runs from Ottawa and Washington, D.C., to Montpelier during her high school years, says that the

the experience as a sort of Secret Garden. "It's something you shared with a group of people that was so intense that, as much as you try to explain it or give it words or definition, no one else would understand it in exactly the same way," he says. One well-recognized product of venturing far afield is the self-confidence acquired by setting and achieving goals. "I set a goal and finished it," says Clifford. "Now I feel ready for more." Her immediate plans include hiking the 2200-mile Appalachian Trail. It's the journey, not the destination, Abbott says, noting that much can be gained no matter how close you get to the finish line. His voyage on The Snorri was cut in half when a rudder failure cut the journey

Clifford, whose one worri some moment occurred in a lightning storm on top of a mountain, wholeheartedly agrees. "I learned to appreciate time j better," she says. "I live more in the present now." If simplicity — like not worrying about the future — is the soulmate of happiness, then adventuring might be considered a required bedfellow in a complex world. To paraphrase another Everest veteran, "Adventuring is not the only way of dealing with an over-organized, overprotective society, but it is one good way." Abbott and Clifford encourage others to find their own challenges. "I think everybody should go out there and do something like this," Clifford says. "Set big goals and create challenges, and just do it." To contribute to Amity Clifford's effort to raise money for the Long Trail Protection Campaign, contact the Green Mountain Club at (802) 2447037.

get to that level." Peters, who got his musical start through public schools and youth .orchestras, calls music "a life-preserver for adolescents. When crazy things start to happen," he v. says, music is something "they can pour their energy into 1 and get more energy from in return."• • y--' But i f d t the VYO help safeguard the lives of the kids who partici- r pate, they also help to preserve the art of classical music itself. "Music education is >* under siege in this country," Peters laments. He points out that, despite mounting evidence that music education can raise students' vocabulary, improve their spatial relations and boost their math scores, the public continues to see music as merely a fun extracurricular, and an easy target for budget cuts. And Peters fears that as fewer and fewer people are exposed to music as kids, fewer and fewer people will support the art as adults.

SEVEN DAYS

ON THE TV EVENT OF THE CENTURY

he poet who called April the cruelest month obviously never witnessed a May, June, July and August like the ones we just lived through. This strange summer was framed by premature, high-profile deaths, beginning with Giovanni Versace's murder and ending with the Paris car crash that killed Diana Spencer. Along the way, the world was diminished by the losses of Carl Sagan, Jimmy Stewart, Robert Mitchum, Charles Kuralt and Mother Teresa, among others. While each of these deaths was mourned around the planet, none elicited anything resembling the emotional aftershock following the princess' death that turned world television into the greatest mass wake in history. I followed the medium's coverage of the tragedy from those early morning hours, when the first foreboding hospital reports downgraded her condition from "critical" to "grave." I watched as MSNBC's Brian Williams announced an unconfirmed report that Diana had died. She lived on in an eerie electric netherstate for a few minutes more on the major networks, but eventually all concurred: She was gone. This was many hours before the streets of London were to fill with people weeping, bringing flowers and sharing their grief. But it was clear even then that

something unprecedented in the history of television was about to take place between the people who create it and the people who watch it. I went to sleep replaying the reports in my mind, surprised to feel so wounded. When I awoke, London had been overrun and the media phenomenon of the late 20th century was well underway. For days the face of the princess dominated the airwaves. At any time of day or night, any station was likely to be playing a clip of her attending a society function, tending to one of her charities, marrying her prince or ecstatically mothering her two boys. Friends, journalists and acquaintances kept up a steady stream of reminiscence. When paparazzi were implicated in the accident, reports fanned the flames of hatred. The photographers continued to be blamed even after it was revealed that Diana's driver had been stinking drunk and taking powerful prescription drugs. Even three blood-alcohol tests later. People weren't ready to let the princess go, and television provided a way for the world to say goodbye in increments. Somehow, the processing of public catastrophes — Diana's death, the destruction of Flight 800, the murder of JonBenet Ramsey — has taken on a whole new cathode dimension. When something of this magnitude occurs, the cit-

izens of the world instinctively commune via the medium of television. Even the hundreds of thousands who gathered in London's public parks the day of the funeral paid their respects while viewing the event on monolithic screens. They were no more and no less in the company of their fellow humans than were the millions who watched from their homes.

Early in the week, I listened as reporters discussed the global outpouring of feeling. One of them remarked, "If this is what happens when Princess Diana dies, what's it going to be like when Mother Teresa passes on?" Ironically, she found out just 48 hours later. The juxtapositioning of these two women may account for some of the Diana backlash taking shape in the wake of Mother Teresa's death. Interviewed by Tim Russert on CNBC, William Safire threw up his arms: "Come on, what was she famous for? For being

famous. She was attractive, she did some nice things and she was a mother. These are things we should repect, not canonize someone for!" On "Politically Incorrect," Bill Maher asked, "Is she the best our species has to offer?" For some reason that sentiment was more commonly expressed in newspapers and magazines than on television. This past week conservative syndicated columnist Mona Charen painted a portrait of Diana as a media-baiting party girl and her deceased companion as a degenerate lech. Meanwhile the networks continued to carry updates on the police investigation into the crash, issue shows kept the incident on the front burner, and interviews with Dianas friends and relatives continued. Some, like "The Today Show," were still featuring their daily "Death of a Princess" segments a full week after her burial. Geraldo, back from vacation the Monday following the funeral, whipped his evening show into a Diana frenzy in an attempt to catch up. And everywhere, still, was the image of that crumpled brown Mercedes, the most universally recognizable vehicle since the white Bronco. Two weeks after Dianas death, the phenomenon had taken on surreal proportions. Remember the classic "Saturday Night Live" sketches in which the long-dead Elvis Presley's sequined jackets are taken on tour and generate the same hysterical response the singer himself did in life? Truth is once again stranger than fiction. At one point the princess' burial site had to be changed because family members feared it would become "another Graceland." Now, incredibly, one TV program after another is featuring interviews with Maureen Rorech, a woman who purchased 13 of Diana's gowns at a Sotheby's auction earlier this year and — guess what — the gowns are going on tour!

Despite all the worldwide examination, commentators and analysts missed an irony central to the tragedy and its coverage: At the same time the public was bemoaning the princess' lack of privacy at the hands of the press — whose work is paid for by her "adoring" public — this same public had no qualms about invading the privacy and grieving of the royal family, including Diana's two young children. In effect, this outraged public demanded that the family members all come out and emote where everyone could get a good look at them. And, of course, a good picture. Before our eyes, the public metamorphosed into monster paparazzi. Weirder still, once the family emerged and displayed themselves, ne;ws people actually critiqued their individual "performances." The Queen received generally poor reviews. She came off as cold. Prince William, on the other hand, earned raves for his perceived sweetness, vulnerability and ease with the crowd. Reports surfaced that the family had finally given in and hired media handlers and consultants, as Diana had advised two years earlier. As this strange summer started, television trapped Andrew Cunanan in an abandoned Miami houseboat, afraid to show the face everyone had come to know. As summer drew to a close, the medium conversely forced a royal family out of hiding. Whatever the good, bad and ridiculous done with it, television has evolved into a catalyst for human connection on an unprecedented scale. And the show goes on. Rationally or not, the loss of Diana is large, and maybe the show needs to go on just a little longer, giving people time to loosen their grips and let her go. By some delicate, invisible mechanism, the people who watch TV will let the people who create TV' know when it it time. (Z)

ARIZS

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): This is the week you prove your love. N o t by being a "nice," "considerate," "sweet" person. Not by setting aside your own needs in a vain attempt to make yourself fit someone else's expectations or ideals. (In feet, behavior like that would irrevocably cut you off from the sublime state of grace you've been flirting with.) No, Taurus, the best way to prove your love is by daring to identify your heart's oldest desire, and then asking for it with poise and dignity. G E M I N I (May 21-June 20): I'm channeling the spirit of Nostradamus' cook this w e e k Lucienne is not quite as flashy as the Old Boy himself, b u t she did pick up a few pointers during her tenure in his household. This is what she babbled when I feed her to produce a prophecyforyou

BY ROB BREZSNY+J

It's your power to open what is shut and shut what is open.

AQUARIUS

CANCCR

(June 21-July 22): Princess Diana was an underdog with a royal bearing. She craved privacy but was too magnetic to be left alone. She could be stubbornly willful in her drive to get her own way, yet was renowned for her ability to bring a gentle, intimate touch wherever she went. Though she was a skillful nurturer, and expressed that quality expansively in her charitable activities, she herself suffered consuming loneliness, and received little support in her rebellious struggle to become her authentic self. In all these ways, my fellow Cancerian, she was a typical member of our tribe. Let's be inspired by her death to do two things. First, let's vow to manage our contradictions with more ingenuity and self-forgiveness. Second, let's vow to be smarter about getting the nurturing we need. L€0 (July 23-Aug. 22): Promise m c that you will not perform ritual decapitations of live goats that send arcs of hot blood spurting onto idols representing the gpds of money, power, competition, .revenge or status symbols. In fact, please skip the animal sacrifice shuck altogether. Likewise, don't torture, demean or disrespect your own sacred body in die name of those same

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Eek. I mean wow. So that's what you look like without your mask on. I doni-know exactly what has prompted you to start parading around with your bare soul showing, but I vote for you to keep doing it. You're infinitely more beautiful this way. (And raw and interesting and just plain smashing.) T h e weird thing is, most people are so unperceptive that they won't even consciously notice the difference. Subconsciously, though, just about everyone will beformore available to you than usual.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In Japan, there's a day once a month called sodai gomi, or Big Garbage Day. People not only throw out heaps of worn-out junk and decaying trash, but also perfectly good things that they no longer have any use for. I'd really think you were cool if you staged a sodai sodai gomi sometime this week —- a Big Big Garbage Day. It should be die Big Big Garbage Day of the Year, in foct — maybe even of the Decade. Be sure to d u m p anything that reminds you of histories you're more than ready to stop repeating.

SCORPIO ( f t t j k ^

you've reached the absolute, final ending of the story until you spot the giant rabbit in your dreams or until you sense an earthquake that no one else feels.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today my Sagittarian friend Buddy grumbled to me, "I'm not being amazing or amazed these days. It's an awful situation which I am trying desperately to correct." When I mentioned this to two other Sagittarian friends, they unleashed a similar torrent of bitching. Frankly, I was incredulous. According to my astrological projections, you Centaurs should be in the season of boisterous adventure and giddy hijinx. It's true that you have extremely high standards; what might seem like a thrilling exploit to a Cancer could be a thunderous bore to you. But then maybe that's exactly the problem. Is it possible your tribe has become so addicted to bigger-than-life extravaganzas that you can b o longer tap the exciting potential of the small stuff? T h i n k about it. O n e way or another, I expect you to be amazed and amazing by week's end.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): M y good friend Marina is a prototypical Aquarius: mentally hyperactive, obsessively restless, almost allergic to calm. That's why I was so pleased to get her e-mail today. She said, "I used to think of serenity as some unsweetened, insipid floral tea. W h a t a relief to find a species of serenity that's more like hot chocolate spiked with peppermint." I'd like to think that her epiphany is symptomatic of a universal trend among Aquarians. M y reading of the astrological aspects indicates it's a good possibility.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You'll finally track down the smoking gun this week. The ultimate proof. The unimpeachable evidence. It could be the tailpipe of a real UFO, demonstrating beyond a doubt that extraterrestrials are among us. O r it could be an old artifact which clarifies and confirms a hazy memory you've previously been unable to substantiate. Whatever the nature of this discovery, Pisces, I predict that it will

CAPRICORN (Dep. 22-Jan. 19}.-Y«*iH ready for this? I'm not sure I am. W h e n vottr oracle for this week came to me in irion, I wondered if maybe I should ™ suppress it. Not because it'll upset or scare M u s e it'll give you so much • y o u ' l l have to caxo$tt great ^ ^

astrology

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): T h e cosmic traffic signal is about to changc from red to green. Your unlucky number will soon stop popping up every couple hours. And the "Please Don't Touch" sign will either get knocked down or be officially removed — and in either case you won't have to abide by it any more. Given all these hopeful omens, Aries, I'd say there's more than enough cause for wild, even goofy celebration. O n the other hand, it doesn't mean you should dispense with safe-sex precautions or play tag on a golf course in a lightning storm.
