ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE Scent off a Woman The most powerful sexual stimulant For a man is the smell of pumpkin pie and lavender, according to a medical study by Chicago neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Alan Hirsch. The amorous aroma increased the crucial blood flow in his volunteers by 40 percent. Next came black licorice and lavender, which scored a 32 percent increase, followed at 20 percent by the smell of doughnuts and pumpkin pie. Admitting that the "mechanism of reaction is unclear," Hirsch said, he plans to use his discoveries to treat impotence and to market his research to perfume companies.

The bullet fragmented when it hit the pipe, and pieces hit Aaron in the leg. • In Halifax, Massachusetts, police accused Robert Brinson, 28, of trying to blow up his exgirlfriend and her family at home using two bombs like the one that blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City. Police said Brinson's bombs were considerably less dangerous because he mistakenly used potting soil instead of fertilizer.

A FINE W H I N E I've just finished reading your latest issue and had to respond to Paul Kowalski s whining tirade about Irving Smith's beer article (Seven Days, October 18). From the hysterical opening to the maudlin mea culpa grand finale, this was truly bizarre. What a hoot! Why doesn't Kowalski just go on "Oprah" and get it over with? I found the story to be informative and a lot of fun. Don't hold back on the only interesting food/drink writing in town. On a related note, Kowalski did provide you with your most interesting letter to date. Nice to read something besides the usual "Love ya! You're doing great!" routine. — Chris Nicholas Richmond

TASTER'S C H O I C E I am writing in response to the letter you printed from Paul Kowalski of Long Trail concerning Irving Smith's article on Vermont microbrews. I was glad to see you publish a few of Irving's credentials after Mr. Kowalski's letter. I have tasted wine and beer with Irving professionally for the past six years and must tell you that he does a very good job of accurately describing and reviewing the wines and beers we have tasted. I hope you will continue to publish more of his articles, for so many of us benefit from his hard work and effort. — Kevin Clayton Shelburne Kevin Clayton is a co-owner of the Shelburne Supermarket. ABENAKIS O N RECORD When you say the word "Perkins" on the University of Vermont campus or in Burlington, many would assume you are referring to the geology building at UVM. Few realize the reprehensible legacy behind the Perkins name. From 1925 to 1936, Eminent Professor Henry Perkins designated and led the Vermont Eugenics Survey. The Survey was a health-care law mandated by the State of Vermont and funded through the federal government and Rockefeller Foundation. The project affected all ethnic groups in Vermont dissimilar to Northern Europeans, "Vermonters" and Perkins himself. The Eugenics Survey affected Vermont's indigenous peoples, the Abenaki, in the hundreds. L e t t e r s Pol i cy : I n c l u d e y o u r f u l l name SEVEN DAYS, P.O. fax: 865-1015

Without due process, habeas corpus was summarily ignored; Abenakis were sent to Windsor State Prison and Waterbury State Hospital. Perkins, along with Norwich University cadets, U.S. Army officers and military vehicles, assembled a mobile field hospital. Mass sterilizations and medical experimentation was the result of this effort. Many Abenakis were affected by this "health-care initiative." Some went "missing." Abenaki peoples were lied to, tricked and threatened. Constitutional rights were suspended or ignored. Perkins' more infamous modus operandi is best represented by the Monument Road incident where people literally disappeared overnight. Currently, Professor Oatman's installation at the Fleming Museum, "Long Shadows," does justice to the character of Perkins. It does this by never identifying the Abenaki people as having been sterilized or experimented on during the Eugenics Survey. Nowhere in the literature or public relations for "Long Shadows" is the word Abenaki mentioned. Writing Abenakis out of history is well-practiced in Vermont. In 1989, when Judge Wolchik affirmed Abenaki hunting, fishing and land-claim rights, Governor Howard Dean and Attorney General Jeffrey Amestoy wrote a brief called "Elliott," which, without legislative review, became law. Reviewed by Justice Doolan of the State Supreme Court, Elliott effectively removed Abenaki rights and liberty by claiming that due to the "weight of history" the Abenaki do not exist. The long shadow cast is still touching Abenakis through this blatantly political, racist law. Are all such actions by our leaders reflective of Vermonters who pride themselves as being the first state in the Union to outlaw slavery? I believe Vermonters want more. In perpetuating the lie that Abenakis do not presently exist and played no past role in the Vermont Eugenics Survey, the media suppresses Abenaki heritage. Only one weekly newspaper (Seven Days, October 4) briefly reflected on the Abenenaki treatment during the Eugenics project. The Burlington Free Press Living Section article of September 17 never used the word Abenaki. In the Columbus Day Free Press headline article, Ira Allen was identified as slaughtering "Native Americans." The Abenakis were never named as victims of that slaughter. Abenakis and Vermonters have always tried to retain good relations. I remain confident that in the spirit of justice this chapter of Vermont history will be treated fairly with the missing history of the Abenakis' role recorded completely. — Charles Delaney II Burlington Charles Soaring Eagle Delaney II is the Representative of the Abenaki Nation ofMissisquoi and Vice President of Abenaki Self Help, Inc. (Ed. note: In September the Burlington City Council passed a resolution recognizing the Abenaki as indigenous aboriginal peoples of Vermont and in support of that recognition at the state and federal level.)

- Scott Riedel Why not? Looking at Washington and the O J . trial, you've got to figure it gives you a lot of career options; J l i e term is, however, somewhat imprecise. The best definition was put forth 50 years ago by L.S. Selling: "a person having a constellation of symptoms...characterized psychopathologically by a very definite tendency to tell untruths about matters which perhaps could be easily verified and which untruths may serve no obvious purpose." This enables us to distinguish a pathological liar from, say, a lawyer, whose distortions of the truth are easily detected by anybody not serving on the jury even as they serve the obvious purpose of getting his murdering slime of a client off. More generally, we may say that John, the adulterous husband played by Peter Gallagher in the movie so<> lies and videotape, is not a pathological liar because his deceptions serve the obvious purpose of enabling him to get laid. Thus we see that habitual liars are of two kinds: on the one hand, pathological liars, who are pathetic losers, and on the other, skilled liars, who constitute the national ruling class. What makes pathological liars lie is not well understood, though it seems pretty clear there isn't a single cause. Some people exhibit what's known as "pseudologia fantastica," presenting wild yarns as fact. Again, skill is a factor — do this well enough and you can get a job with The Weekly World News, or, if you really have the gift, The Washington Post. However, if your lying is so inept that you don't qualify even for journalism, you may be suffering from brain damage and therefore condemned to a life in broadcasting. 1 have a report, for example, of a "35-yearold right-handed Caucasian male" — that's enough to put you on your guard right there — who suffered from "pathological lying associated with thalamic dysfunction." Apparently a brain impairment led to a 10-year history of repeated lying about everything from his personal finances to where he'd put the Kleenex. Years ago he'd have wound up in the gutter, but today, thank God, he can be a guest on talk shows. Not all cases of pathological lying are associated with a neurological disorder. Psychologists also blame such conditions as "superego lacunae" or "a need for the patient to produce narcissistic gratification." I love the word "lacunae," and because I love it I can say for a fact that anyone using it has no concept whatsoever. Seems clear enough to me that some people lie because they profit from it, some fib because they're sick, and some do it because they're lying sacks of shit. Dear Cecil, It pains me to see that my adopted state of Wisconsin is about to turn its back on 150 years of sanity and bring back the death penalty. My question is, supposing we elect not to go the wimpy route of killing off our capital offenders via lethal injection but instead fry 'em or gas 'em in a more manly manner, where would we get the equipment? Is there an "Old Sparky Electric Chair Manufacturing Company" or a "Green Glow Gas Chamber Company?" - Scott Custis, Madison, Wisconsin

The Soup Solution And you thought Howard Dean was nothing more than a cold-hearted aristocrat who's only concern is the loft and shine of his political star. Bah, humbug! The fact is, Ho-Ho does have a heart — a big heart — and he flaunted his caring ventricles last week in exemplary fashion as he transferred the site of his weekly press conference from the fifth floor of Montpelier's Pavilion Building to the warehouse floor of the Vermont Foodbank in Barre. There, amid the pallets of breakfast cereal and canned goods, Howard Dean boldly offered a from-the-heart solution to the hard-hearted policies of the Army of Newt. "We've got to do something to mitigate these cuts," declared Vermont's physician/politician. Then, suddenly, he bent over and thrust his hand into a nearby cardboard box and pulled out a can of Progresso soup. Proudly holding it aloft for the cameras, Ho-Ho declared that here in his hand was "one solution" to the cutbacks in social service and nutrition programs. If every Vermonter would just contribute to their local foodshelf on a weekly or monthly basis, we'll make it, promised Dr. Dean, the discoverer of the Progresso vaccine!

"We're not going to get through this," continued HoHo, "if we fight among ourselves and blame each other." He was referring to those liberal Democrats who've been saying mean things about him because of his passionate refusal to even consider raising state taxes to fill the gaps brought on by Newt's sword. "He didn't raise the income tax" is Howard's chosen epitaph. But even better, Ho-Ho's going to preside over the Vermont income tax for the state's fiscally endowed upper class. Since Vermont's income tax is coupled to the federal income tax, the well-off among us who live in those $500,000 houses on Spear Street will be receiving Newt's papal blessing through both their federal and state income tax forms. And you can be sure they will show their appreciation by following Ho-Ho's lead. Like our governor, they'll surely develop an affection for Progresso soup and regularly drop a can or two into the foodshelf bin in the front of the local supermarket. Not to worry. Charity will come to the rescue! Not. According to a recent Twentieth Century Fund study called "Patterns of Generosity in America," donations to char-

INSIDE ity have remained at a steady 2 percent of personal income even when the economy is booming. According to the study, even if Ho-Ho, through his charismatic leadership, stimulated an increase in charity soup donations to, say, 5 percent, it would still fall far short of covering the craters carved out by the Army of Newt. "Although Progresso is a good soup," bellowed Democratic House'Speaker Michael Obuchowski the next day, "I hope Howard Dean will rise to the occasion and realize that some of the cuts — and I'm not saying all of the cuts — that he is proposing to the state budget are harmful to people. And I hope Howard Dean will rise to the occasion and also realize that we need to solve these problems not on the backs of the have-nots, but on the backs of the haves." Obie's one of those guys who just doesn't have a soft spot in his heart for anyone making over $200,000 a year. And Burlington's Progressive Mayor

Peter Clavelle doesn't think Progresso soup is very progressive. "This notion that charity is going to fill the gaps and offset the reductions in federal spending and the holes in the state budget is absurd," said Clavelle. "It's simply not going to happen. The question is not 'Will you raise taxes?' The question is 'What taxes are you going to raise?"' Pedro the Prog has this crazy notion that somebody's ox always gets gored. "What's been happening in state government over the past decade," said da Mayor, "is the responsibilities are being pushed down to local government and the cuts in the state budget are primarily affecting local governments and school districts. What they're essentially doing is forcing an increase in the property tax." Jeezum-crow! You'd think these guys didn't like soup. Political Love Fest — O b u chowski and a couple Burlington Dems — Reps. Sandy Baird and Bill Aswad — held a city hall press conference last

week to tout Bill Clinton as the candidate of choice in the upcoming Nov. 7 "City-Vote" , election. Clavelle came down from his office to check it out. After listening for a few minutes, he popped up from his seat in the audience and strolled up to the head table. He leaned over Aswad to use the microphone. It's the closest those two have ever been in their lives.. "I don't always agree with the Democrats," said Mayor Progressive. "But when I do I think it's appropriate to stand up and say so. With regards to city vote, I want to join in suggesting that Bill Clinton deserves our continued support." Then he strolled back to his seat in the audience. "He's an old Winooski Democrat," Aswad said later. "He just doesn't want to admit it." But things change. The revolution of 1981 happened. "Bernie's mantle fell on him," remarked Aswad, the reigning dean of Burlington politics, "and he doesn't want to take it off." •

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FILM CONTRACT: Burlington

musician Martin Guigui has worked a lot of weddings. Enough to fill an album with anecdotes about the "funny shit that goes down" behind the altar. But he wasn't sure he was onto a "bankable" idea until a call came from acquisitions at Paramount Pictures. "I have dreamed this movie," Guigui says of Wedding Band, which he describes as the Spinal Tap of wedding receptions. T h e Martin Guigui trick is turning that reverie into a feature-length comedy. By April. Guigui is teaming up with Brooke Wetzel on this one — the only other producer in the area with comparable chutzpah and manic energy. And the project has come a long way since their one-inch ad in the Hollywood Reporter brought in 400 resumes from Tinsel Town and beyond. T h e couple has already snagged a director of photography who shot Barfly and Down by Law. Randy Quaid has agreed to be the best man. But most of the cast, including the band, hails from Vermont: Nectar Rorris is the cook, and Vinnie DeToma does a convincing barstool loser. T h e job of screenwriter is still open. So is the production studio — of seven companies that have approached them, only Paramount and October Films are still in the running. Says Guigui, "We want to do it our way, keep it to Vermont investors and give it to them as is' to distribute." Sounds pretty high-minded for a movie that captures some of its best scenes through a vent in the bathroom. But there's no sex, says Guigui — until the end. Only in V e r m o n t . . . If things keep moving along at this rate, Burlington College may have to add Guigui and Wetzel to its new Vermont filmmaker series. T h e dynamic duo could probably learn a thing or two from Jay Craven, who will share his cinematic secrets Friday night. F L Y I N G P H I S H : Two weeks ago, Alan Parshley was playing Beethoven with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra at the Flynn. Wednesday night the French horn player will be blowing in a much bigger venue with saxophonist Dave Grippo, trumpeter * ' •Joey Sommerville and trombonist D a n Glasgow. Phish summoned all four Vermont musicians to Chicago Tuesday to sit in on their Halloween concert at the 18,000-seat Rosemont Horizon. Every year the band covers an entire recording — last Halloween it was xhtWhite Album. Sounds like a heck of a lot of horns for anything other than.. .Chicago? Nice to know our boys have it all over the competition in Illinois. Says Parshley, "I am sure Dale Klevenger of the Chicago Symphony would have something to say about that."

IN BRIEF: Brad Searles has been collecting photographs of Burlington for as long as he's been putting out singles of local bands on Split Records — each captures the Queen City from a different point of view. N o w he's going for the big picture with an aerial shot of the local music scene — Burlington as seen from a helicopter. T h e snap will be the centerpiece of a limitededition poster of his urban images, soon-to-be published in conjunction with the release of the first split C D . Burlington City Arts is kicking in cash for the printing, Mansfield Heliflight hauled him up there Tuesday morning — for free... Susan Kelley couldn't have picked a worse time to leave the Free Press, with Vermont in full cultural swing. But in two weeks arts presenters can start bugging the new arts writer, Florida native and former dancer Melissa Garrido. "There is some sort of offshoot of Alvin Alley down there that she was a member of," says features editor Joe Cutts. Her Vermont connection? "Her brothers a Phishhead." .... the Vermont Times has sunk to a new low in "community" journalism: anonymous call-in letters to the editor. Peter Freyne got skewered last week, along with Seven Days, in "Speak O u t Vermont." Last we checked, newspapers still required people to own up to their barbs. OVER THE HUMP : You can

read all about dance pioneers like Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman. O r you can get it straight from Sharry Underwood, the only dance critic in Vermont who dates back to Denishawn days. Underwood's first real dance class was at Jacob's Pillow, then a fledgling experiment in barefoot ballet led by Ted Shawn. Underwood took classes from Humphrey in N e w York. T h e modern dance mistress, who would have turned 100 this year, is the subject of her lecture Saturday at Patrick Gymnasium. And don't go home before the master class. Promise, no pirouettes. •

OR LOSE?

A new Burling"ton television station puts Its hype where Its hardware I:

ike the drive home after work, or eating dinner, the six o'clock news is an evening ritual — an end-of-the-day reckoning on Channel 3, 5 or 22. By the beginning of next year, Jeff Loper and Steve Schuyler plan to give local news viewers a fourth option on WWIN-Television. Channel 39 will go on air this week with a selection of sitcoms, movies, cartoons and call-in sports shows when Lieutenant Governor Barbara Snelling and Bob "Gilligan" Denver throw the switch Thursday night But the "historymaking" event brings up as many questions as it answers: Like, how do we tune in? Is the local advertising base big enough to support another television station? Will this Warner Brothers affiliate revolutionize news gathering in Vermont — or go the way of the S.S. Minnow? A low-power station with high-power ideas, WWIN-Television will get most of its programming via satellite from WB — Loper negotiated the deal when the network came into being last January. In addition to Tweety and Sylvester, the rooftop dishes will draw in daily doses of "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Bonanza." Three movies and two broadcasts of Boston-based New England News are also on the Mondaythrough-Saturday menu. Loper describes his on-air offerings as "similar to a superstation — an eclectic mix of reruns, old movies, new movies and firstrun syndicated product." But what sets this channel apart from the hundreds is not state-of-the-art animation. Far more intriguing are its plans to establish a statewide delivery system for news that Loper sums up as "cellular television" — a method of reporting stories and transmitting video footage that would result in customized news broadcasts all over the state. "People in Rutland will see stories about Rutland, people in Burlington will see stories about Burlington," Loper says. If everything clicks, he also plans to set up a bureau in the Plattsburgh area. "As far as I know," he adds, "this has never been do ne before." The theory behind the technology is inspired by the limitations of television Prime-time newscasts are constrained by time and broadcast area from covering what Loper calls local "pocketbook issues," like property taxes, zon ing and community events. His plan — to collect, edit and localize broadcasts from a central studio — would allow television to act more like a series of community newspapers. After reading Nielsen journals, Loper concluded that commercial television news was missing the boat on political and grassroots issues. "The key is to give customers what they want," he says. "I tried to find a tech nology that gives them what they are asking for."

he resulting hybrid — along the lines of Wal-Mart-meets-TownMeeting-Television — will not be an easy one to realize logistically. Footage would travel to Burlington via the newly laid fiber-optic network, where it would be shaped into individual shows. A story of state-wide interest on Rutland gangs, for example, might end up in every broadcast one evening. A simple street fight probably wouldn't. Loper, who calls himself "acting news

"As far as I know, t h i s h a s never been done before." - J e f f Loper director," does not intend to focus much attention on crime. "To me it's not relevant that someone shot his brother in Plattsburgh," Loper says. "It's a question of trying to balance what may have more relevance to our daily lives." Loper also plans to launch on-air letters to the editor. The filming will happen at interactive kiosks — mostly at shopping malls — where viewers can videotape their opinions by pushing a button. Marselis Parsons, news director of WCAX-TV, applauds the feedback idea but is less enthusiastic about Loper's suggestion that the Burlington area could sustain as many as seven local news networks. "Someone told me the other day that we have more radio stations in Burlington than Montreal," Parsons says. "At some point you are appealing to such a small

tion of the audience that you can't survi ve. WWIN-TV has its editing work cut out for it. Once the news is customized, and the localized ads inserted, the completed shows will then be sent back via fiber optic to various transmittor sites around the state. When applied to advertising, Loper suggests this cellular approach to television will make the medium accessible to businesses with mom-and-pop-sized budgets. Those who live beyond the reach of cable networks should be able to pick up the channel with a good antenna. The concept is great, says Stewart Ledbetter, news director of WPTZ-TV. "The idea of backfeeding stories at the head end in Burlington, and then distributing it to individual markets in Vermont is fascinating — I just don't know where he is going to get the money to pay for it. We have a fiberoptic line from Burlington to Plattsburgh and it's bloody expensive. If it was such a great idea," Ledbetter adds, "why would this pioneering technology crop up in Burlington and nowhere else?" Loper acknowledges that his is an expensive proposition. The bulk of his investors hail from Vermont and New York State — with the exception of a personal friend with "hundreds of millions" in the New York City area. He is more evasive on the subject of broadcast towers

either Schuyler nor Loper is a stranger to the world of highstakes investment. Schuyler, who is handling the adminstrative duties at the new station, was plant manager at Small Cities Cable when he bought into Burlington-based WEXP-FM — the station was sold in June to Hall Communications, owner of W O K O and the new WKOL. Loper had managed apartment buildings, movie theaters and money when he first came to Burlington for a job at the investment firm of A.G. Edwards. He had a weekly "personal finance" segment on the Channel 5 news until it was discontinued because of "disappointing results," says Ledbetter, adding Loper's delivery was "not up to our standards." That experience didn't dissuade Loper from pursuing television, however. He eventually left his "stockbroker" job in Burlington to get involved with a lowpower station in Plattsburgh. The exact terms under which Loper went to work for Gary Clarke at WWBI-TV were never put on paper. Loper says he worked as a consultant without pay in exchange for a 10 percent interest in the business. Clarke, who still owns the station and says he

and cable company deals. At press time he had yet to work out a way to get the station on Adelphia Cable, and the only tower known to be up and transmitting was on top of a mountain between Jonesville and Bolton. "We are still trying to work out something." says Sam Shearer, acting regional manager of Adelphia Cable. "Anything local is very attractive."

CRANIAL PERCH, MARGINAL MAN (Chemical Records, cassette) And now for something competely unpredictable. Burlington's thrift-shop art-rockers Cranial Perch are back with number two. While it's not something you'll be buying mom for Christmas, it could be a good stocking-stuffer for some of your offbeat friends. Marginal Man sets out with the lovely, Irish-sounding Anne-Marie Costa harmonizing, unaccompanied, with herself — sort of an a cappella McGarrigles. Gradually the tempo picks up, instruments kick in, and Peter Danforth's sax ends with laughs and whistles. This is followed by the industrial cacophony of "Split Cells," whose unruly bird's nest of sound and intoned lyrics spirals out of control in an apparent attempt to actually achieve chromosomal damage. The Perch people think multiple styles per song are better than one, from the melodic coo of Costa's singing to a sort of crackpot opera fueled by guitarist Jamie Williamson. Then there's the simpleton Cowsillcore of bassist Dave Jarvish's "Green Apple Girl," and a sax-driven lounge-lizard thing called "Club Select" to wind things up. Or maybe down. Whew. You can't accuse Cranial of not perching on the edge. DAYS1 Send y o u r CD o r t a p e SEVEN DAYS, P . O . Box 1 1 6 4 ,

South of 1-10 refers to Cajun country, and Sonny Landreth shows — no, celebrates — his roots in this exceedingly tasty gumbo of roots rock, zydeco and blues. Landreth has got to be the most evocative slide player on the planet, never mind Louisiana. When that glass tube hits his strings, you hear Gulf winds moaning through cypress trees, feel the mythic surge of the mighty Mississip, and find yourself pining for the bayou even if you've never been there. Call it voodoo kundalini — Landreth is a musical shaman. You'd never guess the man suffers from both tinnitus and tendonitis. Classically trained on trumpet from childhood through college, he found his calling instead with six strings and a slide. But he's more than a guitar whiz: Landreth's Creole influences unfold in poetic imagery and melodies that manage both melancholy and percolating roadhouse grooves. Compelling voice, too. "Congo Square" — which includes guest guitarist Mark Knopfler — is a masterpiece, "Cajun Waltz" as romantic a love song as ever was. Landreth places heart and soul in music that also beckons feet. He opens for bluesrock guitar virtuoso Robben Ford this Saturday at Metronome.

-is pursuing criminal charges against Loper, had a different understanding of the arrangement. T h e two men parted ways last summer — but not before Clarke had Loper arrested on burglary charges for making off with some office accoutrements Loper says belonged to him. T h e charges were dropped when a vendor vouched for him. "It was considered a total false arrest. T h e police saw it as a business dispute between partners," Loper says, adding that had he been convicted, he would never have been able to own his own television station. He says he is suing Clarke for defrauding him of his stock, and The Plattsburgh Press Republican for publicizing his arrest. Neither the former partner nor the newspaper is aware of any suit against them. This sort of squabble between media moguls is nothing compared to the drama of high-tech speculation. Pioneering in the Information Age is risky business. "There is so much hype surrounding the advent of new technology," suggests Lauren-Glenn Davitian of Chittenden C o m m u n i t y Television. "People are looking for investments so they can demonstrate the new technology, attract consumers and, eventually, somebody to buy the whole operation. T h e big ' i f is which ones will take off." Ultimately, the real challenge of making television more democratic — as W W I N aims to do — is getting people to watch it. You can only make zoning regulations so compelling when you're competing with "Dateline," "60 Minutes" and local newscasts which take 32 full-time staffers all day to produce. Davitian revolutionized local television in her own way by launching Channel 17 — the local government channel on public access. "People may say they want a detailed explanation of property tax," Davitian says. "But what they really want to know is how much the taxes are going up, when and where they can complain."

YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND A Quebecker from Iowa reflects on the recent referendum

erhaps you've wondered what Quebec means by its license-plate motto: Je me souviens. I remember asking a Quebecois friend, the first time I came to the province,. "What is it you remember?" I don't remember his answer...and then, maybe I just didn't understand. That's precisely what Quebec has been saying for the last 30 years: "You just don't understand." The more insistent have been saying, "We want to be masters in our own house, and responsible for our own destiny." In this week's referendum, the issue had become an independent Quebec in a new partnership with Canada — good, but separated, neighbors. Nearly half the electorate voted to be good neighbors but politically distinct from the rest of Canada.

A business associate said to me through clenched teeth last week: "I don't expect you to understand! It's not a rejection of you. We just want to do it our own way." He's a chartered accountant from a strong union family, a credit union treasurer for years, a former hippie. Two days later I wrote him a note to say that the birth of his country would damage the country in which I'd chosen to put down

roots, but that we'd have to work together to build them both. He came to my office and gave me a hug. My Quebecoise lover, Helene, says I just don't understand when she flies into a snit over something I've done in an apparently obtuse fashion. We've been together 10 years on the strength of independent characters and time apart. She voted YES. So why did I say N O to the offer of a new kind of partnership that looks a lot like what I've worked out with Helene and colleagues? Why can't I accept the idea that politically Quebec must be distinct because it has different memories? Maybe I don't understand because I don't remember. As a naturalized Canadian from Iowa, choosing to live in French Montreal, there's a lot I don't remember. I only read about the Plains of Abraham, when the future of the Frenchspeaking people in North America was so ignominiously compromised by a bunch of court dandies. For more than 100 years, Quebec maintained its identity as a Latin, Catholic, rural society bound together more tightly by a common language, an island in an English sea. Quebeckers became one of

the two founding peoples of Canada by force of collective will. This notion of people is one of the things we (the rest of

Canada) just don't understand. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms that is joined to the Canadian Constitution defines the individual rights and free-

doms of Canadians. There are no provisions for collective rights. Yet these — derived from the responsibility of a people to preserve itself through cultural, social and political means — are essential to the protection of a society. No Quebec provincial government has ever accepted the Constitution of 1982.

s an immigrant Canadian too busy homesteading in Newfoundland for 12 years during the '70s and '80s, I don't remember the October Crisis. I don't remember having heard of Rene Levesque before visiting Montreal in 1985, and don't really remember the Constitutional Conference of 1982. As history it's the stuff of high political drama: that "Night of the Long Knives" when Trudeau, his Minister of Justice Jean Chretien, and nine provincial prime ministers reconvened after Levesque had gone to bed. They adopted a constitution that makes no mention of Quebec as a distinct society and denied Quebec a veto on matters that concern the preservation of the Quebec society, including language rights.

hen a Fox Cable Network crew arrived in town last week, it wasn't to record the waning days of autumn for the foliage-starved high-risers in New York. Nor was it to find out Vermonters' reactions to Congressional budget cuts or the World Series. It was salt and pepper. Or more specifically, salt and pepper shakers. And that was just Thursday. On Monday it was Italian art glass; Tuesday, business cards and insurance doodads; Wednesday, a hallway in the University of Vermont art department called the Kitsch Museum; and Friday, antique maple sugaring equipment. "Personal fX: The Collectibles Show" — a daily hour-long program featuring people with "vast collections of thematic items" — had found a week's worth of "supercollectors" in the Burlington area. The show, which launched on the fledgling fX network in June 1994, is hosted by Claire Carter and John Burke from a Fifth Avenue apartment in Manhattan. But it's the field crew — traveling around America — that has all the fun. When Field Host John Davis presided over the dining room of the Lincoln Inn last Thursday, it was evident that people obsessed with acquiring oodles of certain objects are endlessly fascinating — for him, a live audience, and T V viewers. In other cities, it's been people like the guy with the world's biggest private collection of baseball trivia — including the gun Ty Cobb's mother used to shoot his father. Or the world traveler whose favorite souvenir is toilet-seat protectors. In this case, it was the 300 pairs of salt-and-pepper shakers collected by Maria Kourebanis and her mother Martha, co-owner with her husband of the Essex

BIG BOPPERS

wo and a half centuries ago, J.S. Bach sat at the keyboard writing music for the following week's church services. Did he have any idea that in the year 2000 his music would still be wafting through the ether, often emanating from mechanical recording devices? Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and other master composers stood the test of time and became household names. But, even though musical giants in history, they didn't create their art form. They simply pushed the evolution of music to an even higher level. Legendary saxophonist Charlie "Bird" Parker did much the same. In the 1940s, he, with Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and a handful of other musicians transformed jazz from a dance-oriented form of entertainment to an art form — later known as "bebop." These black musicians left off conforming to the whims of high society and club owners in order to explore the nature of their souls. It was a non-compromising attitude. And it was the beginning of a new era. Borrowing from earlier swing styles, Parker and the others picked up the tempos and multiplied the chord changes — forc-

future while maintaining the original spirit of the composer. Hampton exercises the creative freedom of jazz with great skill as an arranger, and each member of his ensemble follows suit as improvisers. With tenor saxophonist David Sanchez, saxophone/flutist Jerome Richardson and trombonist Robin Eubanks, Hampton is working with what Billboard calls "the best big band in the business." The public will have a rare opportunity to meet and speak with Slide Hampton and two of his band members in the Flynn Education Space prior to Fridays performance. This authentic bebop artist will discuss the life and music of Charlie Parker as well as his own experiences as a jazz arranger and musician. Jazz is becoming what many call "America's classical music." Will it achieve immortal status like the music of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart? Too soon to tell, perhaps, but at least we can get it while it's hot. •

and "Moose the Mooche" perfectly illustrate the melodies' rapid-fire eighth-note lines with syncopated angularity, which then lead to extended solo improvisations at breakneck speed. At times, though, the music could slow into a more introspective mood. Forty years after Parker's

death, bebop continues to thrive. Countless recordings of the classics are still being readapted by a new line of jazz musicians such as Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Pat Metheny, Roy Hargrove and others. These recordings can often be found in the collections of a new generation of younger listeners, along with those of Nirvana and Phish. This week Burlington music fans will witness a performance exemplifying bebop to the highest degree. Trombonist Slide Hampton and his 13-member big band, the Jazzmasters, comprise several generations of America's greatest jazz musicians. Now 62, Hampton has been an important contributor to the jazz scene since the '50s, playing with greats like Gillespie, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon and Maynard Ferguson. He formed the Jazzmasters with Gillespie's former manager Charles Fishman in order to keep the bebop bopping. Hampton's recent tour featured the music of Gillespie — to rave reviews nationwide. This time he's spotlighting the music of Charlie Parker. But the Jazzmasters aren't just recreating, they're reinventing and revitalizing — bringing the music of the past into the H O U S E R S : Slide Hampton, with trombone, and the Jazzmasters

varies to the Wall. Now there's a company motto. What does it mean? For hardcore athletes Kristen Fehrenbach and Ali Napolitano, it means business. They're the women behind Team Betty, sportswear makers who create "What Fast Women Wear." And judging from the pair's quick leap from the Vermont market into coast-to-coast sales, they've found a niche itching for notice. "Ski Like a Girl" was the first T-shirt slogan created by Fehrenbach, 29, and Napolitano, 23. "People connected with the idea pretty much right from the start," recalls Fehrenbach, a Burlington College senior in humanities. This year the two-year-old company can boast an expanded clothing line, national retail distribution, status as pro snowboarder Marybeth Zambarano's clothing sponsor, coverage in American Fitness magazine and four catalogs. T-shirt sales alone have reached $16,000 since January. It all started in 1991 when both women were working at The Downhill Edge in Burlington. Faced with racks of ski apparel designed for men, customers who marveled that women could be technically knowledgeable and male coworkers who dubbed them "Team Betty" — from the skibunny nickname "Betty" — Fehrenbach and Napolitano did what any self-respecting athletes would do with a challenge. They took it on. The women started churning out T-shirts that turned sexist, cliche attitudes into support for sportswomen. "My boyfriend says if I go mountain biking again he'll leave me...see ya," one shirt reads. Another simply states, "Claim It!" above a snowboarding, '50s-era housewife. "It's lighthearted but inspiring," explains Napolitano, who not only wants to stoke the female psyche but to "give back to athletics." The company aims to someday sponsor professional athletes who have what Napolitano calls "the unbelievable tenacity" to compete on women's circuits — notorious for low prize money. But until Team Betty's owners can afford to pay themselves and hire some help, their support consists of time and effort. Team

the female psyche —- with shirts. Betty currently provides administrative footing for a 24women Vermont cycling team bearing the company name. At the close of its first season, the bikers have earned the attention — and sponsorship — of heavy-hitters like Champion Jogbra, Thule and Nordica. Kristen Fehrenbach comes by her athletic passions honestly. Her ski-coach father was obsessed with the sport, she says, and "had a vision that all his kids would be racers." Raised near Hartford, Connecticut, she was skiing not long after she learned to walk, and soon acquired a reputation as the most fearless of her six siblings. "I was the only one who had to wear a helmet," she says. "I was a nut." Still a whirlwind of energy, Fehrenbach spends her summers surfing off Cape Cod, runs five days a week, and says she's determined to ride her bike more regularly. When schoolwork and 12-hour days at the Team Betty office allow, she hits the slopes. There, says Fehrenbach, she can "let loose on a mountain." Ali Napolitano also grew up in a family of skiers, just 20 miles from Fehrenbach's hometown. After participating in nearly every available team sport, she became a competitive skier at age 12. Her first role model, world champion slalom racer Tamara McKinney, "was about as Team Betty as it gets," Napolitano says. "A complete class act. Understated, strong, competent." When McKinney called Team Betty this year as a customer, the thrill was still there. "That was a pretty big deal for me," she admits. But racing is no longer in her blood. "Physically, I could be competitive, but up here..." Napolitano taps her head and

shakes it. "It's a mentality. I admire competitive people, but I don't enjoy it." Instead, she "just" runs, skis, swims or bikes five or six times a week. That's in between juggling a full-time job at Dynastar Skis in Colchester and her Team Betty responsibilities. The more contemplative of the Team Betty duo, Napolitano counters Fehrenbach's effusive enthusiasm with a quiet reserve. A 1995 grad in small-business management from the University of Vermont, Napolitano is the "systems girl" who brings order to the one-room Burlington office. It's a step-up from their first closet-sized office on College Street. "If we hadn't moved, we would have killed each other by now," jokes Fehrenbach, who handles the financial end of the business. All major decisions are made jointly, and the pair's uncanny tendency to come up with the same ideas at the same time makes them confident of their success as a team. We'd like to become millionaires," Fehrenbach says, "but realistically, we want to have a small, stable business that turns a profit and effectively gets the message out to consumers." The message is clearly reaching their typical customer — "an 18-to-35-year-old who's very confident and proud to be female and athletic." But it's also found its way into other demographic camps — much to Team Betty's delight. Case in point: A 10-year-old mountain biker wrote to say how much she loved her Team Betty shirt. She proudly included the fact that, on a recent ride, she "fell and didn't even cry." Now, that's Team Betty. •

The striking show featuring artists from the U.S., Canada and Europe is currently hung at the Art Departments Francis Colburn Gallery. Painting is "pronounced dead every five vaguely sinister twist years," states Oatman in his exhibition notes. But much of the work here succeeds in disproving this cynical theorem.

he following recipe takes no preparation. You throw everything in a pot at once, bring it to a boil, turn down the heat, stir it thoroughly one time and walk away for 45 minutes. When you come back, it's soup. Add bread and a vegetable and it's dinner. It is also, to my buds, the best-tasting split pea soup on the planet. How is my split pea soup different from every other split pea soup? I start with some unusual ingredients. This version calls for an Indian spice, a Chinese mushroom and seaweed. But even if you substitute oregano, onions and salt, it will taste different because of how it is cooked. I throw about two cups of split peas into a pot and chase them with six cups of hot water. (If your water heater is glass-lined so that your hot water isn't full of dissolved toxic metals, it should be safe to use hot tap water in cooking. And it sure boils faster.) Then add a heavy sprinkling of kalonji. That's what folks in India call onion seed, and it tastes like nothing else. I'd say it's got an oniony, poppy seed flavor, but poppy seeds really don't do anything for me, and I'm' no onion maniac. O n the other hand, I'm rather fixated on having kalonji on homefries and in my split pea soup. Fixated enough that I called all over the continent trying to locate a retail source more convenient than the Indian grocery store near my mother's house in Maryland. T h e Herb Apothecary in Montpelier finally came through, so I just saved myself — and you — about a thousand miles of driving. (You're welcome.)

Beyond taste, what is it about this seed that sparks me? Kalonji is beautiful: It's got five flat sides to its tear-drop shape, it's about six times as big as a poppy seed, and it's black. It also qualifies as a fun food: Explode the seeds between your teeth for entertainment as you eat. To contrast with the crunchy critters, break into pieces several dried shiitakes and throw them into the pot. You can buy the mushrooms at natural food stores and in Chinatown — where you'll pay about a tenth as much for them. Shiitakes

(she-a-ta'-keys) aren't cheap, but they have a unique, rich and delicious flavor, and you don't need to use a ton. They're also medicinal: Shiitake is said to strengthen immune response. Because of that, when I've felt a cold threatening, I've eaten a plain, crisp, dried 'shroom. Very tasty! Even if you think you don't like mushrooms, check out these dehydrated treats. Reconstituted in soup, shiitakes have a fun bouncy texture Split pea soup calls out for salt, but hold your ham hocks and Bac-obits: The soup is full of flavor already. Instead of adding plain chemical sodium chloride, or even a richer, natural sea salt, why not treat yourself to a mineral smor gasbord? (Unless you eat a perfectly-balanced organic diet, it's likely that you have mineral deficiencies.) Kelp is chockful of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, some B vita

mins and trace minerals that are hard to find on land. So add dried seaweed to your soup. I like kelp because it reduces cooking time for beans — and bean-induced intestinal gas in people — but other seaweeds have a milder flavor. The first time you throw seaweed into a brew, go easy. If you add little enough, you won't even taste it. Experiment by inserting a few square inches of dried kelp (kombu in Japanese) or alaria (ivakame) into any soup or stew where you normally add salt. Next time, replace more of the salt with seaweed. You can find a variety of seaweeds at health food and Asian grocery stores. A couple of bay leaves and some cayenne to stimulate the circulation are the finishing touches. You know where to find those. Now that I've taken you through all my exotic ingredients, I'll tell you that the real secret to my split pea soup is that I undercook it. Why? What many people think is split-pea flavor is actually

burned split-pea flavor. After the water in the pot comes to a boil and I've turned the heat down to just above a simmer, I cook the splits only 45 minutes. That's quick cooking — too quick for the peas to melt formlessly into the water, and too brief for a burned, bitter taste to develop. If you smell the soup as it is just starting to cook, you'll know what I mean: There's a sweet, fresh smell. If you cook the peas only until they're soft and not homogenized, they'll taste like that smell — think of the sweetness of lightly cooked fresh or frozen peas. One timing note: Sometimes a few splits remain a little crunchy among all the other soft ones. They don't bother me, because I'm already chewing kalonji and shiitake. If you insist on cooking the soup until every pea is soft, you'll make it bitter. If you find it impossible to expand your horizons enough to accept crunch in your split pea soup, throw the lightly-cooked hot soup into a blender and whir it smooth. I'm lazy, but not too lazy to chew. •

FILM QUIZ

COPYCAT

****

If you've ever had difficulty grasping Einstein's Theory of Relativity, allow me to suggest the fol- ! lowing exercise: First, buy a ticket to Never Talk , to Strangers**. Then see Copycat, then Seven***** The first is a joy-void bit of drivel concerning a beautiful psychiatrist who's being stalked by a maniac and conducts interviews with an incarcerated serial killer. Its production values are on a par with those of a typical T V movie. The writing's nor quite that sophisticated. The picture is historically significant, nonetheless, as it is no less than the third crazy-stranger movie for star CRIMINAL MINOS Sigourney and Holly copy Jodie. (and executive producer) Rebecca "if you can't beat 'em, join em" DeMornay. Next to this, Copycat looks like Silence of the Lambs, which it is not. Imitation is the sincerest form of slaughter in the latest from director Jon Amiel, the story of a beautify psychiatrist (Sigourney Weaver) who's being stalked by a maniac and conducts interviews with an incarcerated serial killer What makes this picture's psycho special is the fact that each of his murders is performed as a sick tribute, replicating to the smallest detail the work of history s most infamous mass murderers: the Boston Strangles Son of Sam, Jeffrey Dahmer, etc. Holly Hunter co-stars as the officer in charge of the investigation a gutsy, r e s o u r c e d detective — sort of a seasoned Clarice Starling. The most intriguing element in the film is the dynamic between the women Weaver is an authority on the psychology of the mass murderer whose most recent encounter with the species so traumatized her that she hasn't left her home in years. She becomes a reluctant participant in the manhunt phoning her insights in to Hunter. Gradually the two evolve into a sort of forensic tag team. The psychos the weak link here. To sustain the high level of eeriness necessary in a film like this, you've got to have an all-out, foll-bore beserker at the heart of things, and this guy is deadly but dull — Ernie / flflfc, Douglas on angel dust. ^ J T j

Especially next to the nut whose messy antics drive the action in Seven. Here you have it all- well-drawn characters, inventive direction, good writing, a level of eeriness which actually escalates right to the veiy end and, at the heart of it all, a weirdo who would make Hannibal Lecter nervous

and political experiment is still within reach. Belying their long memories, YES is a young movement with strong support among the 18- to 32-year-olds, young couples, professionals and business people. D o I wish I had voted YES? No, because I simply couldn't. I signed one of many banners proclaiming that "My Canada includes Quebec." I'm hoping my fellow Canadians will show the political courage to make the changes necesary to keep Quebec in the Confederation of her own free will. As an American, an amateur of Civil War history, I don't remember much good about confederations. But I believe we're better off holding on together for the good times.

Now, I've always liked Jean Chretien because the "little guy from Shawinigan" is a caricature of the Western hero: quick-witted yet homespun. But to many Quebecois, even many who voted no, he's a traitor to his people. I don't remember that it was he, the faithful lieutenant of arrogant federalism, who sold away Quebec's identity. There is a sense of vengeance to this affair that I can understand but not fathom. Do I regret having voted N O ? Yes, I do...because I know the beautiful risk of choosing a new country. Everything is possible when you have caressed the idea for so long, have come from so very far and are now so close. You accept how hard you'll have to work because you believe in yourself. Nearly half the voting population believes that an exciting social

DO I REGRET HAYING VOTED NO?

YES, I DO... BECAUSE I KNOW THE BEAUTIFUL RISK OF CHOOSING A NEW COUNTRY.

I will remember this referendum, because it is part of every Canadian's heritage. T h e dignity with which we have come so close to dismembering our native and adopted land is worthy of a great democratic people, we Canadians. It simply leaves me in tears. •

And chances are downright excellent that you'll begin to take advantage of a rather subtle legacy whose cash value may not be immediately apparent. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): This is the planets number one Breathing Room Enforcer, Rob Brezsny, and I'm here to do what I love to do best: beg you to take a break. Whatever it is that you do with too much intensity, excessive attachment or excruciating sincerity, please lay off it for a while. If you do your job compulsively, try attacking it with a more relaxed attitude. If you nag yourself like a shrew, give yourself some goddamn slack. And if your number-one manic habit is being too easy on yourself, then you should even go on a hiatus from that. GCMINI (May 21 -June 20): Each sign of the zodiac has a different relationship with chaos. Scorpios have an affinity for half-toxic, half-fertile compost. Pisceans are fond of grungy clutter and romantic fantasies about insanity. You Gem in is favor "clean" messes like disorganized piles of paper and puzzling relationships. Knowing your preference, I hesitate to give you the following advice, but the current planetary configurations leave me no choice. It seems that you'll have to get your hands much dirtier than you like. Your metaphor of the week is digging in the garbage to find a lost diamond ring. CANCER (June 21-July 22): This is really weird. The Doberman on Cedar Street has stopped leaping over its fence to attack me when I ride by on my bike. My oldest enemy just sent me a letter offering a truce. And the tellers at my bank, who've always treated me with the disdain they show to only the seediest patrons, have started flirting with me. What the hell's going on? Is somebody pulling the pins out of a voodoo doll that looks like me? Nah. 1 think a similar grace period is visiting most of us Cancerians. In fact, several different people I know born under the sign of the Crab have told me lately that they're getting so much love they feel drunk. How about you? Are you gonna stop at a six-pack — or go for a case. LCO (July 23-Aug. 22): I never through I'd say this, but I want to congratulate the Disney Company for standing up in behalf of the kind of family values I heartily endorse. On January 1, the megaconglomerate house that Mickey Mouse built will being offering health coverage to live-in partners of gay and lesbian employees. Whats that got to do 1

forces are in the mood to help you out. Dare to dissolve your prejudices about the family you came from. Dare to update your fantasies about what role you want family tp play in your future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An otherwise unidentified Virgo just caUed ^ d left this cryptic message on my machine: "A bee stung me on the tip of the tongue today. Ttook^ it to be a good omen." Normally I would consider that to be a seriously deluded statement — a prize-winning entry in the Virgoan "I Can Rationalize Anything" Sweepstakes: But it so happened that last night, white meditating on your horoscope, I * got a psychic impression that electrifying words were abottt to come o w oryour moutn. My conclusion: The Virgo caller and my vision both suggest that you 11 soon be able to articulate thoughts and feelings youve been tongue-tied about for many moon* w //; LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Buckle your seatbelt. Eat lots of fruits and veggies, t o o k both ways before crossing the street. Use safe-sex devices whose manufacture didn't require the torture of furry little animals. Say no to caffeine, alcohol and LSD. Visit your dentist to keep healthy teeth. Wash your hands before meals. Get eight hours of sleep nightly. When and if youve done all that, you have permission to spend money on a tool that will give you more freedom. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov, 21): Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead and trot out all die lame, cynical narratives. Everybody uses everyone else. Do unto others before they do unto you. Love is just another four-letter word. All that stuff is true in a way, but it's totally irrelevant right, now. In fact, the vibes are so generous in your vicinity that it would be pure self-sabotage for you to be suspicious and manipulative. I suggest you assume that all the folks you encounter this week have your best interests in mind -— and dont need their arms twisted and their minds messed with, SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There's nearly a 15 percent chance this week that you'll be abducted by aliens and forced to learn how to belly dance while reciting the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty." And there's a 30 percent probability that you'll have sex in a kitchen with a fisherman or fisherwoman who keeps murmuring through muffled sighs, "I always eat what I catch," Technically, though, the scenario that's most likely to occur (85-90 percent) is that you'll cease to be attracted to experiences, people and horoscopes that promise more than they can actually deliver. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan 19): The King of the Americas called me today. At least that's what he calls himself. A powerful Brazilian shaman appeared unexpectedly at his house one day to anoint him, he said, just after Jesus had come in a vision and informed him of his new utle. Naturally I was curious about his sign, positive it wa$ either Leo or ; Capricorn, though more likely the latter since you goat-folks are currently at a more radiant point in your cycle than the lions. Sure enough, it was Capricorn. I asked him if he had any mystical advice for fellow members of his sign. "Know the difference between pride and hubris," he said. "Be dazzlingly competent without becoming swagger ingly egotistical. Check your arrogance at the door but not your mandate to lead." AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. IB): Studies show that most people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. For this majority, jumping out of tenth-story windows is more inviting than the prospect of expressing oneself coherently in front of a crowd. Odds are good, Aquarius, that you belong to this group. But even if you do, I'm happy to report that the cosmos has arranged a partial exemption for the next two weeks. In fact, your f levels of fear will be reduced in all matters related to proving yourself; showing off, or making a spectacle of yourself for a good cause. PISCCS(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Right about now I figure you should be on a Balinese beach outside your $4-a-day thatched-roof hut, about to receive a two-hour massage with coconut oil while listening dreamily to the other worldly plaint of gamelan music wafting on the balmy wind from the party next door.
