ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW German rock star Gunther Deitz died during a perfor mance in Hamburg when he smashed onto a concrete floor after asking his fans to catch him — and they refused. Many were peeved because he showed up an hour late, then sacked his guitarist. The heavy-metal idol regularly dived off the stage into the crowd as the cli max to his show, only this time when he yelled, “Catch me,” fans stepped out of his way instead, then roared when he hit the concrete. After ^ hearing Deitz had died, fan Egor Prosnecki, 18, declared, “He got what he deserved.”

Noting that 20 years ago people were moving to Albuquerque to escape allergy and asthma prob lems, authorities blamed treecaused allergies on newcomers trying to bring greenery or shade to the desert by planting non-native pollen-bearing trees.
LEAVE IT TO BEAVERS Tina Rae Beavers, 19, was arrested in Great Falls, Montana, after she stretched out on the grass and exposed and fondled herself in full view of the jail where her husband Ernie Beavers was being held. Undersheriff John Strandell said Ernie Beavers had asked his wife for the show, although it was unclear whether he or other inmates actually saw Tina Beavers, who was charged with indecent exposure and unlawful communications with an inmate.

IT DOESN'T ALWA JS COME NATU RA Liy Marine biologists and park rangers at a nature preserve off the California coast reported they were on the lookout for an amorous male sea lion nick named “the Marauder of San Miguel Island.” The 1800pound male, a rare hybrid giant that scientists described as a freak of nature, is believed to have killed up to 50 female sea lions a year over the past five years by crushing them to death with his inept mating attempts. □

matter. He introduced a bill in Congress to admit Ohio to the Union retroactive to March 1, 1803. At a special session at the old state capi tal in Chillicoehe the Ohio state legislature approved a new petition for statehood that was delivered to Washington on horseback. Congress subsequently passed a joint resolution, and President Eisenhower, after a few more jokes, signed it on August 7, 1953. Ohio wasn’t officially a state until 1953, its ratification of the 16th Amendment in 1911 was invalid, and thus Congress had no authority to enact an income tax. Baloney, argued rational folk. A sufficient number of states voted for ratification even if you don’t count Ohio. OK, said the resisters, but the proposed amendment had been introduced to Congress by the administration of William H. Taft. Taft had been born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1857. The Constitution requires that presidents be natural-born citizens of the United States. Since Ohio was not a state in 1857, Taft was not a natural-born citi zen, could not legally be president, and could not legally introduce the 16th Amendment. (Presumably one would also have problems with anything done by presidents Grant, Hayes, Garfield, B. Harrison, McKinley, and Harding, who were also born in Ohio.) Get off it, the rationalists replied. The 1953 resolution retroactive ly admitted Ohio as of 1803, thereby rendering all subsequent events

•CLAVELLE AGAIN?
i Everyone agrees he’s a nice guy, and natural| ly he’s running for re-election as mayor of | Vermont’s largest city — the People’s Republic of Burlington. But is Peter Clavelle past his 1 prime? 1 Mayor Pedro wants to keep the corner office | at City Hall. After all, he can walk to work | from his Union Street demense. As heir to the « Bernie Sanders throne, Clavelle has had it pret* ty easy, except for the little jolt he sustained in i 1993 when Burlington voters kicked his butt | out of office and all the way to the Caribbean | isle of Grenada. Two years later he pulled off a f successful comeback, winning by a whisker, * thanks to the Democratic spoiler in the race. | But Clavelle hasn’t received 50 percent of the | vote since 1991, and a head-to-head race | against a respectable challenger could give our ®favorite Winooski River rat a massive migraine. § Take a look at the accomplishments. 1 Okay, that was quick. Now let’s look at the | shortcomings: Two years ago Clavelle ran camI paign ads promising to “swiftly” eliminate the * city’s $1.6 million waterfront debt. Two years 8 later, that debt has grown and, under pressure | from Republican Councilor Kurt Wright, Pedro | hastily called a knee-jerk press conference * recently to announce his plan — he’s even toutfj ed it in his “Friday Letter” 1 under the gratuitous heading, | “Man With a Plan.” | W hat’s Clavelle’s plan, you I ® He wants the city’s retire1 ment board which holds the | note to turn a short-term debt | into a long-term debt. As I Wright accurately put it, * “Clavelle wants to use the city’s 1 Mastercard to pay off the Visa.” | Great plan, eh? Sounds like | Pedro forgot his campaign g promise. . . , How about that new superi market downtown? Even back in his days as O l’ Bernardo’s development guy, Clavelle was flapping his jaw about that one. Hey, anybody seen a new super market? Or even plans for a new supermarket? Last month, Clavelle said that if he doesn’t * have something solid lined up » by Christmas he’ll terminate the 1 B.S. about a new supermarket. | Hey, how do you like the I new Filene’s? You know, the one fj Clavelle announced with much fanfare was 1 coming to downtown. Now, with the Southern | Connector postponed until eternity, Filene’s is | looking more and more like a mirage. I Sure, he’s a nice guy, but where’s the beef? j: There are even rumblings among Progressives i about Clavelle’s leadership, or lack thereof. As | was reported here recently, former Progressive | legislator Tom Smith plans on winning one of I Ward 3’s seats on the city council in March. 1 Smith has never stopped believing in the cause, I and he told Inside Track one of the reasons he’s | running is to get the city council and the mayor J back on track in facing real issues that have I been gathering dust over the last couple years. ®Smith would like the focus returned to things I like the monster medical complex on the hill | and its impact on local residents, especially j those in the Old North End. g Clavelle’s major accomplishment on the * hospital front was to take the U H C parking lot S off the tax rolls in return for the Mary Fanny | moving its billing operation from up on the hill | to downtown. W hat a coup\ And Clavelle sure » didn’t win a lot of points for his recent role as 8 celebrity ribbon-cutter for the reopening of i Church Street’s number one yuppie watering | hole, Sweetwater’s. Can anyone imagine Mayor | Sanders doing that?

Granted, the Sanders revolution is a distant"! memory. The members of his court have pros pered. And they’re very cocky. When asked about the threat of a Kurt Wright candidacy, one veteran of the revolution who still pulls down a City Hall paycheck replied, “My little toe doesn’t even start to shake.” Makes you wonder how much villas in Grenada are going for these days. Just Visiting — Former Governor Madeleine Kunin was home for Thanksgiving. Kunin has been U.S. ambassador to Switzerland for three months now, and she participated in a press conference at the McKenzie Packing Co. last week to unveil an agreement that will have the Swiss meat packer Del Maitre turning out maple sugar-cured bacon, while McKenzie will start producing a new line of Swiss hams. What makes a ham “Swiss,” you ask? Well, we hope they don’t punch holes in their pork products like they do their cheese, but we’re not certain, since Mary Alice McKenzie refused to divulge the hidden secrets of Swiss ham — proprietary information, you know. Madeleine’s having a ball in Switzerland, the land of her birth. “It’s exciting to be in a place that I know, that I have some connection to. On one level it’s kind of a sentimental journey,” she said. “The fact that a person who comes to the United States as an immigrant can return as U.S. ambassador is a very American story. The Swiss see that as well, and see that maybe my mother was right when she said anything can happen in America.” Sorrell Update — Not surpris ing to see Jack Hoffman diss Inside Track and carry Howard Dean’s water in Sunday’s Rutland Herald on the subject of § the Bill Sorrel for Chief Justice 1 Crusade. We’ll stand by John g Maley’s comments that Ho-Ho * is using much too much spin on i this one. Judicial experienced | insists Maley, was not a require- g ment. Maley serves on the ■ ■ ■ Judicial Nominating Board and I ^ J ought to know. Dean’s arroI gance on this one is almost Snellingesque. It’s only natural a guy might feel pretty regal after getting 71 percent of the vote. More rope, Gov? Media Notes — After seveng and-a-half years of 1-89 round | trips to Montpeculiar, blowing past the slowpokes doing 75 mph with her car phone glued to her ear, Freeps reporter Betsy Liley has been returned to g base at 191 College Street, Burlington. Betsy g tells Inside Track she’s playing editor on the desk one night a week and is general assign ment reporter the other four days. Instead of politics, Ms. Liley has been turning out stories on everything from knitting to composting. Cool! Newspapers just gotta have something for everyone, ya know. MEGABRICKS? — Burlington’s new water front condo palace, “The Residence at College and Battery,” is topped out and mighty impres sive. Gerry M ilot’s “MEGABRICKS,” designed by Burlington architect Tom Cullins, looks a little like Back Bay, Boston, or the Bronx, depending on your roots. It’ll sure be nice to have so many local high-rollers safe and sound under one roof in beautiful downtown Burlington. N ot True — As far as we can determine, there’s no truth to the rumor the Irish Republican Army has made an offer to buy Milton High School. As the rumor goes, IRA brass were impressed by the obvious commitment to the fine art of telephone bomb threats. Learning the proper accents, however, would likely be a deal-breaker. □

don’t remember which famous writer it was who said that sor rows are sent to us here on earth in order to properly prepare us for the horrors o f heaven, but the words spring automati cally to my mind in the Christmas season. As usual, the papers are filled with stories about how to get through it — how to beat the rush, how to cope with the stress, how to lower your expectations, how to wire the tree so it won’t burn down the house, how to avoid depression, anxiety, murder and mayhem when you’ve heard “The Little Drummer Boy” 15 times in a single day and watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” on 38 channels at once.

P
erched on a hill overlooking the Mad River Valley, Doug Lewis has spent the snowless days of summer and fall renovat ing the old farmhouse he shares with his wife, Kelley. The loca tion, with commanding views of the Sugarbush and Mad River Glen ski areas, is especially appropriate for the reigning king of Vermont skiing. In case you’ve had your head in a glacier, Lewis is the guy you’ve seen busting through powder in nearly every ski photo this side of the Rockies. In fact, Lewis and local extreme skier John Egan were recently featured skiing Sugarbush on the big screen in Warren Miller’s new movie, Snoivriders. But beneath the spray of snow is one of Vermont’s true champions — a guy who went out t^pqnquer the world and came home to rule the roost. Not since Stowe’s Billy Kidd took his Olympic silver medal in 1964 at Innsbruck — and traded the Green Mountains for a cowboy hat and the good life in Steamboat Springs, Colorado — has a Vermont skier so eagerly assumed the mantle of extolling the virtues of Vermont skiing. Read “Lew’s World,” his aptly named ski column in the local daily, and you’ll find stuff like “this is what makes Vermont skiing so sweet,” or “the skiing’s awesome, get out and enjoy it.” Though he never quite achieved Olympic fame, Lewis quietly made his mark on the ski world in the 1980s, at a time when “the best racers in the country were from New England and Vermont,” he says, adding, “I hope that’s still true.” Certainly in Doug Lewis’ case, the statement holds. From 1980 to 1988, the years he raced on the U.S. Ski Team, Lewis won two national downhill championships,
appeared in two Olympics, was ranked among the top downhillers in the world, and took the bronze medal in the 1985 World Championships in Bormeo, Italy. Not bad for a guy who as a kid bombed the slopes of the Middlebury College Snow Bowl wearing a brown snowmobile suit. Lewis got his first taste of the sport at age three under the tutelage of his mother, Sue, an instructor at the Snow Bowl. “The only thing I remember about my childhood is skiing,” he recalls, “It seemed like I skied every day, but I must have just spaced out the school days and only remembered the weekends and holidays.” Although he now works as a representative of the “new Sugarbush,” a ski area on the vanguard of the industry trend of mega-resorts and merger mania, Lewis’ Middlebury roots left him grounded in the essen tial joy of sliding on skis. “It’s make your own fun, that’s what it is. Get out there and make a jum p,” he says of small hills. “Rather than being stuck in a groomed area with rules, there’s a lot more freedom in these small areas.” Even while a kid skiing close to home, it was clear Lewis was going places. “It never surprised me that he went on to win a medal at a World Championships,” says his child hood coach, Howard Kelton. “He was that type of kid. He had the attitude that he was going to accomplish his goals.” Lewis has set goals for most of his life, and his competitive streak, found in most great ath letes, shows through. “When I was eight years old I wanted to be in the Olympics as a ski racer,” he confesses. “I’ve got to win tying my shoes, starting the car; I’ll eat this faster than you can, everything is a race to me,” he says. But Lewis concedes that competitiveness is “both
good and bad.”
H
ooked on winning and intent on skiing, Lewis convinced his parents, both Middlebury College alumni, to let him pursue an alternative route through secondary school. “I begged my parents not to send me to high school, to do something else, because going to high school wasn’t going to take me to the Olympics,” he says. That alternative was the Green Mountain Valley School (GMVS), not far from his cur rent home in Fayston. Lewis’ arrival, and subsequent ascent to the U.S. Ski Team and international success, helped GMVS become recognized as a
launching pad for ski racers. Ironically, a plethora of out-ofstate students — including cur rent U.S. downhill star A.J. Kitt — have followed Lewis’ foot steps through the ski academy. At the school, Lewis found a supportive environment for

ewis’ turn on the podium would come, but first he needed some experience. His first World Cup race, a downhill in Aspen in 1981, turned into an inauspicious beginning: He crashed into a lift tower and broke his back only four turns into the course. When the doctor told him he wouldn’t race for seven months, Lewis says, “I just started cry ing. That was a bigger crush than the physical parts of the crash.” Working his way back from injury, and then up the depth charts of international competi tion, Lewis got his first up-close exposure to life in the limelight during the Olympics in 1984. His roommate, U.S. skier Bill Johnson, managed to steal the gold from the Europeans in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. In the ^ ^ 0 process, he gave Lewis a lesson in Public Relations 101 when he offended the Olympic spirit by equating his gold medal to a million-dollar paycheck — one he intended to collect. In contrast to Johnson’s brashness, or to the easy celebri ty of Kidd, Lewis seems happy to earn his keep and content to be king of a smaller set of mountains. “I’ve been asked by a couple of resorts out West to be their spokesman,” he says, “but I can’t do it, my heart’s not in it.” “I don’t think the almighty dollar is number one with him,” says Coach Kelton about his former student. “He’s a pretty sincere guy.” And while some people might be put off at his salesmanship, or envy the endorsement deals that essen tially pay him to ski and look good doing it, you won’t hear it from anyone who knows what it takes to succeed on far-away slopes — or make the transition back from star athlete to “the
POWDER BUFF Doug Lewis now and (inset) at age 15. Lewis now shakes his head recalling that youthful cocki ness, but he still believes confi dence is a vital element for suc cess. “I guess it was my attitude — and I try to instill this in the kids I talk to also — no matter

how much you get beat, you got to still believe you can win.”
attaining his goals, and turned his commitment to skiing up a notch by training daily. During his sophomore year in 1980, he won his first national junior race, a giant slalom held at Stratton Mountain. “That was the year I saw California girls and Midwest hair,” he says with a laugh. “It blew me away — people from different parts of the country.” Though at age 16 he wasn’t very worldly, Lewis didn’t lack self-confidence when it came to skiing. That spring he was invited to Europe with the U.S. Ski Team, where “we basically got our asses kicked,” he says. “We started 80th, finished 70th, and we thought we were great!”

BIG HEAVY UPDATE Chin Ho! The Fags. Rocketsled. Barbacoa. Five Seconds Expired, (sic). Zola Turn. Guppyboy. The Pants. DysFunkShun. Lindy Pear. Never Only Once. Spill. Gladly. Construction Joe. Starlight Conspiracy. James Kochalka Superstar. And maybe Cranial Perch. Count ’em, that’s 17 — maybe 18 if there’s room — Burlington bands lined up for tracks on Jim Lockridge’s upcoming CD project, dubbed Sonic Tonic. The web guy (www.bigheavyworld.com)turned-entrepreneur was originally called upon by The Pulse to organize a local-music CD, but the flux of changing program directors at the station put the project in limbo. That didn’t deter Lockridge, who was halfway there already, and wor ried that the material was “time-sensitive.” Some of the songs are borrowed from recent CDs, others from near-future ones, and some are being recorded exclusively for Sonic Tonic. Forging ahead with the project under the wing of BHW, Lockridge revived interest from new Pulse PD Wally McCarthy — the station is now a pro motional sponsor. Each band on the CD will have fn p ir t u r n
“The Pulse Does Burlington.” The CD — mas tered by Joe Egan at Eclipse — is slated for early January, with simultaneous parties at Club Metronome and Club Toast on January 24, featur ing some of the recording artists. Out of 1000 CDs, 300 will be used for promo tional purposes on-air and in the music industry. The remainder will sell for $5 each — all proceeds to be donated to Spectrum Youth and Family Services. Lockridge is still looking for sponsorships to help pay manufacturing costs. Hey, corporate Vermont, are you Heavy?
MAKING TRACKS
And how are local bluegrass gurus Breakaway doing post-Gordon Stone? Just fine, thank you. New twentysomething banjo play er Scott Hopkins is quite the ticket, reports fiddler Gene White. “There’s certainly an advantage to his youth, his ability to focus and take things in,” White says. “Audiences seem to like him a lot. And he travels real well — a pleasant advantage.” Only problem is, one place Breakaway was planning to travel to this month burned to the ground. That would be Doobieshea, the recording studio of Tim Austin, a former member of The Lonesome River Band. Austin’s in the process of rebuilding his stu dio, near Roanoke, Virginia, and expects to be twiddling new dials by sometime in January. But he

RHYTHM & NEWS
C ontinued from page 9 liked what he heard from Breakaway enough to spend eight days in Vermont producing them. Even in the dead of winter, chances are he’ll like the technorural environs of Charles Eller Studio in Charlotte, where you can take in horses and high end simultaneously. Says White, “Our hope is that he’ll get perfor mances out of us that we couldn’t do on our own.” Look for the new, as-yet-untitled CD around April.
NOW TH AT’SCOUNTRY Meanwhile, Vermont’s award winning Jamie Lee Thurston heeded the sage(brush) advice to “go West, young man.” He recorded his new album, Country to the Bone, at Coney Island Studios in Burbank, California last month. It’s a second CD effort by the 30-year-old, but the first time he’s worked with nationally known producer Charlie Midnight — whose cred its include albums from Joe Cocker, Billy Joel, James Brown and The Doobie Brothers, among others — as well as Burlington rocker-producer-filmmaker Martin Guigui. “Jamie got to talking with Martin somewhere, sometime,” says Thurston’s publi cist, Marjorie Mulligan Fay, “and he said he had a contact in L.A. who might be able to help.” Indeed he did; Fay reports that “the L.A. guys were ‘blown away’ by the Vermont talent.” The self-released CD includes guest guitarist Steve Hunter (Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Meatloaf et al.) and organist Bill Mason (Eddie Money, The Judds) as well as regular Vermont bandmates Jim Pitman on steel, Chris Wright on bass and Todd Mulvey
on drums — and a turn on piano by Guigui. “It’s got a unique L.A. sound to it,” says Fay. “Jamie did n’t want his record to sound like everyone else’s. This is real kickin’ stuff.” But Thurston brought his mixes back to Vermont for mas tering — by Chuck Eller. Jamie Lee fans can look for Country in local outlets, but its bigger mission is to “shop” Thurston to the labels. The CD release party and concert is December 28 at the Radisson Hotel in Burlington. Ten-buck tickets can be purchased via the Jamie hotline, 1-800-880-5796, or at the door.
MELLOW YEILOW Calling all jazz guys and gals looking for gigs: The Yellow Dog Restaurant in Winooski wants to put music on the menu — the quiet kind, that is. “I don’t know if I want to do something regular,” says co-owner Rick Damaloji, “but at least Thursdays and Saturdays I want to offer something kind of like background music. If people like it, we may go to a late night thing.” Tunes on the tape player have run to George Winston, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Cole Porter, that sort of thing. Live, though, instrumental is probably the thing for dinner — vocalists can be so distracting. The handsome eatery on the corner of Main and West Canal has nearly made it through year one — Damaloji says they’ll throw a first-anniversary party in late January. “I need to put Winooski back on the map as a place to go,” he says. If you’re the quiet type, call Yellow Dog, 655-1703. □ december

undeniable professional skill that blends various styles, including pop, appropriate to the particular genre. In addition to soap operas and sit-coms, Rosenbaum wrote part of an episode for “Tiny Toons,” which he describes as a grueling experience of “Mickey Mousing” — the term used for assigning music to every single gesture. Rosenbaum’s serious com position, however, reveals a more distinct personality. There is no bowing to trends like the classical avant garde or the new age-oriented minimalism. The one sample he offered — a piece for flute and winds — mixed contemporary and tradi tional compositional tech niques, accessible yet spiced with modern complexities. Since then, Rosenbaum has become even less dissonant. “Its tonal language is totally accessible,” Tamarkin says of the nearly eight-minute work she likens to the Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. “He wrote us a slow, sustained kind of piece,” she says. “When you sigh, the music droops.

real world.” With the exception of Vermont and a few other ski ing strongholds, America tends to ignore its ski stars. “I was an instant hero in Italy when 1 took the bronze at the World Championships,” Lewis recalls fondly, noting that he broke up a Swiss sweep of skiing’s glamour event, the downhill. Italians, he suggests, are big ski fans, but not exaedy Swiss fens. One Vermont ski star who preceded Lewis, 1972 Olympic gold medalist Barbara Ann Cochran, says the transition from sports to business can be a difficult one for some people. She admires Lewis for making the change with such aplomb. “I think it’s real nice that he’s been able to choose that and make a living that way,” she says. “And he’s genuinely interested in the young racers, so he’s a great ambassador for Vermont skiing and racing.” If Lewis, like others, failed to receive the attention he deserved while racing, he seems to be making up for it in his work with Vermont’s young skiers. As Director of the Sugarbush/GMVS Ski Club, he spends a lot of time out on the hill skiing with youngsters, signing auto graphs during awards, and generally just being Doug Lewis. As one junior racer puts it, “he’s crazy, he’s always screaming and stuff.” Call him crazy — he’s been clocked at 95 mph on skis — just don’t call him dumb. T ve been fighting that my whole life, ‘the dumb downhiller,”’ says Lewis, who graduated with honors in small business from the University of Vermont in 1992. “If you’re a dumb downhiller, you’re going to be a hurt downhiller, and you’re not going to be racing very long.” At age 32, Lewis is enjoy ing a second lease on his downhill-racing life. Teamed up again with Bill Johnson, he’s participating in the $750,000 Jeep “King o f the Mountain” series, which fea tures the best-known retired downhill racers from around the world. “Yeah, it’s old men,” he says, “but its still downhill and still the real thing.” Like out-driving Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer on the Senior Tour, beating Franz Klammer is a thrill, Lewis admits. W ith winter’s arrival once again, you’ll likely be seeing Doug Lewis in the spotlight more than ever before. You may even run into Vermont’s “ambassador of skiing” at your favorite slope — look for the shaved-head guy at the top of the hill high-fiving a bunch of kids, saying, “Are you psyched? Good. Ski fast, ski safe.” □ dec embe r

What you need to know about flamenco to keep up with Maria Benitez
F
orget everything you thought you knew about Spanish
dancing — the lady in the backless dress, the hailstorm of heelwork, the nightclub tables. Her guitar-playing com
panion looks like a matador, right? Wrong. Like food and language, Spanish dancing varies from region to region — the Aragonese jota is to the Castilian seguidillas as square dancing is to the macarena. And the fiery, foot-stomping variety known as flamenco, perfected by Maria Benitez and her company of skirt-swirling dancers, is not Spanish at all. Developed over centuries in the southern region of Andalusia, flamenco is a gypsy dance inexorably linked to the persecution of its practitioners. No other Western art form conveys pride, sensuality and pain with comparable flourish — or coordination. M innesota-born Benitez compares her adopted art form to the American blues. But, like jazz, flamenco is built on equal parts tradition and improvisation. Established rhythms — alegrias, bluerias, farruca, tango, zambra — serve as launching points for great acts of virtu osity and, ultimately, person al style and spiritual tran scendence. Understandably, keeping track of feet, hands and hips is easier done under

divine influence.
Flamenco is a collaborative effort among three main per formers: the dancer, the gui tarist and a singer, who pre dates the other two historically. The basic rhythm is set with rapid clapping, or palmadas, that inspire staccato bursts and twists to keep the audience on their toes. Benitez has the dynamics thing down. One minute she is a frenzy of foot work, then soft and sensual, like a cat — mood swings that make a supremely emotional art form even more mysterious. Similarly, the exact origins of flamenco are hard to figure, because the Spanish gypsies came from northern India via Asia Minor. The term flamenco may in fact be a derogatory ref erence to Flemish soldiers, who apparently shared the same gypsy reputation for rowdiness. The distinctive wail of the tra ditional cante— or song — calls to mind the mournful chant of the exiled Sephardic Jews. Its existential lyrics are Arab-influenced. India gets credit for the beckoning hand gestures. And the rapid-fire rhythms, stamped out on half toe, heel and full sole in endless combinations — belong to Africa. “Tap, of course, is light. It stays very much on top of the floor. And ballet is also up and away,” Benitez told Dance Magazine in an interview four years ago. “But flamenco is down and deep. It’s a driving motion — with all the power you have — into the floor. A flamenco dancer in a ballet class is a hopeless case, like a swim mer who wants to explore the bottom of the pool.” Or a non-Spaniard deter mined to preserve a distinctly Iberian tradition. The daughter of a Puerto Rican father and an American Indian mother, Benitez was not born with cas tanets. She went to study dance in Madrid, where an unexpect ed class substitution — from ballet to Spanish dance — Continued on page 14

SPANISHSTEPS Continued from page 13 she won the Spaniards over. She toured with an indige nous dance company for years before she and her husband, Cecilio, decided to return to the United States. They picked New Mexico, where Benitez built her repu tation dancing two gigs, six nights a week, in a small club in Santa Fe. Now based in New York, she returns to Santa Fe for three months each summer to perform at the club named in her honor. Finding audiences else where lor flamenco has not been quite so easy, although being known as the "Baryshnikov o f Spanish dance” doesn’t hurt. But Benitez has no intention of resting on her laurels, or let ting the flamenco form stag nate. Her narrative forays — specificially, renditions of El Amor Brujo and El Muro —~ have been criticized for being too theatrical. But that may be the nat ural evolution of the art form. Flamenco refuses to stay the same, even in Spain. “You can now see flamenco productions done on roller skates, or on motorcycles. It has become very avantgarde,” Benitez says. Against all odds, flamen co, like the people who invented it, "is not stifled,” she says. "It grows.” O -4.

umors and unsigned leaflets to the contrary, Starbucks is not coming to downtown Burlington — or anywhere else in Vermont, for that matter. O r so says Cheri Libby, spokeswoman for the Seattle-based coffee shop chain. “We have no plans to open in Vermont” in the coming year, Libby stated. The Starbucks cafe in the Barnes & Noble superstore on Dorset Street is run by the book retailer itself, not by Starbucks, as part of a national licensing arrangement between the two corporations. Libby said she is unfamiliar with the anti-Starbucks leaflet that began appearing in down town Burlington over Thanks giving weekend. Printed on hot-pink paper, the anonymous broadside thunders: “STARBUCKS IS COMING!?! Don’t let anymore (sic) local business es be pushed out by corporate chains!” Contact the Church Street Marketplace Commission, read ers are urged. “Tell them that Burlington doesn’t want a Starbucks! Tell them to support local merchants!” Although it appears to be a case of crying wolf, the notice indirectly raises two further possibilities: that downtown is already glutted with coffee
R
houses, and that Burlington is joining the growing grassroots opposition to chain merchan dising. Skip Blakely, co-owner of Uncommon Grounds, says it is reasonable to suspect that the leaflet originated at one of the half-dozen coffee houses that have opened on or near Church Street in the past couple of years. But he and the other downtown coffee purveyors all deny knowing who is responsi ble for the false alarm. Most of these owners fur ther insist that they wouldn’t be fazed even if Starbucks did open an outlet in the Queen City. All believe they’ll remain in business despite the current ubiquity of java joints. “I’m not concerned because we’re unique,” Blakely says. “We roast our own beans every day, and we’re also not a restau rant but strictly a coffee house.” He concedes, however, that a Starbucks might cost Uncom mon Grounds some customers “who go to a place solely on the basis of name recognition.” A downtown Starbucks “would take a bite out of some one, depending on where exact ly it’s located,” says Mark MacKillop, co-owner of Muddy Waters on Main Street. “If it’s on lower Church Street, ouch! — that’s going to hurt us. If it’s on upper Church Street, we might not feel any effect at all.” As it enters more and more

communities, Starbucks is encountering protests from local activists who see the chain as a menace to home-grown businesses and as another expression of a homogenized culture. Retail conglomerates such as Wal-Mart and McDonald’s are starting to feel the effects of what futurist Faith Popcorn refers to as “icon-top pling.” In the coming years, Popcorn predicts, growing revulsion against uniformity will lure consumers to smaller companies rather than to famil iar logos. “Starbucks’ modus operandi is to enter desirable areas quick ly and in force, driving out competitors in order to estab lish itself as the leading coffee retailer,” writes Nicole Nolan in the November 11 edition of In These Times. She reports on the “bitter resentment” of local cof fee house owners who describe Starbucks’ business tactics as “ruthless” and “predatory.” “For the most part,” coun ters Starbucks spokeswoman Libby, “communities embrace us. We become involved in local events wherever we go.” “These days, any small busi ness has to worry about com peting with the big chains,” comments Stuart Birnbaum, owner of Java Blues on College Street. “People have to vote with their pocketbooks. If they don’t like the chains, they shouldn’t patronize them.” □

COMPOSING
C ontinued from page 11 more and more is beginning to play a role in repertoire for orchestras — and every film that comes out now has a sou ndtrack albu m. ” Rosenbaum didn’t feel that way when he moved to Southern California with no connections — to get into the film business. He was ide alistic. “I originally wanted to be a serious film composer, a composer who ennobled films by my work, who wrote very, very good film music,’’ he says. But the film industry began to change dramatically in the early part of the last decade, which turned him off. First, the incursion of tech nology, computers and elec tronic instruments changed the style o f film composition — Rosenbaum, who scorns computers and synthesizers, still creates at the piano. Second was the ruthless ness of the movie business, and the increasing demand for bad film. “I could no longer follow my own muse,” he says — not without bitter ness. Even though it was pay ing the bills, he didn’t want his legacy as a composer to be the soundtrack for a soap opera. Rosenbaum is not a speedy worker, so the sym phony commission — made in May to be performed in December — proved a wel come relief. “I was used to turning out 20 minutes of music in sometimes as few as three and four days,” he said. “Here I had a seven-or-eightminute piece — which was what I wanted to do, what I wanted to express — and I had six or eight months to do it,” he said. Despite the slower pace, Rosenbaum is managing to keep very busy in Vermont. He is now creating a medley from the musical Hair for a California orchestra, dis cussing possible arrangements with New York pops conduc tor Skitch Henderson, and composing a set of serious songs for New York soprano Kelly Nassief, who just per formed at the Vermont Symphony opera gala in October. He is even willing to teach — composition and piano. “I am trying to make this rather economically painful transition from a commercial world into a world in which I can write the kind o f music I would like to by commis sion,” Rosenbaum said, adding he is very much avail able for hire. Hey, Christmas is coming. □ Jim Lowe is arts editor of the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus.

much like soap and beer. In addition, the term “democ ratic” implies some kind of fair ness, or equality. Broadcast tele vision does not give equal access to all the producers who would like to air programs. (Cable televisions public access regulations do make that medi um a bit more democratic on a local level.) Second, by saying there is “something for everyone” is like saying the two-party political system has something for every one. Enough said there. Third, his statement that “television can be as informa tive and educational as any library, bookstore or museum” has absolutely no basis in fact.

WHAT YOU WATCH C ontinued from page 17 when the discussion is limited to content, needs also to dis cuss its effect on the viewer. This includes looking at some additional factors, besides whether the acting was good. For example: Does watching the show stimulate creativity and thinking? Are the production values
so high that a viewer is swept away without critical thinking? This is especially relevant in news reporting because slick ness carries the viewer seamless ly from one idea and image to the next; then, all of a sudden, the segment is over, and there is no time to reflect upon or question the information pre sented. Is there a balance between the video and audio stimula
tion, or are the images so com pelling that we don’t listen to what is being said? Research shows that images always win out over words. Are the ideas and images presented forcing the viewer to dwell upon negative ideas or actions? This last question is perhaps the most important, because we become that which we dwell upon.
If we spend more than 50 percent of our time focusing attention on negative, violent content, that will be the domi nant experience in our lives. The reverse is true for positive, uplifting content. So we need to consider when watching television not whether a program is intellec tually stimulating or a simple diversion, but whether what we are watching contributes
towards whom we want to become. Maybe Mr. Kisonak would do well to ask himself this question the next time he finds himself enjoying an evening of channel surfing. □ Andrea Grayson, a former television producer, teaches about television at Burlington College and CCV, and is currently work ing on a book about the media and its effects on consciousness.

— no, unionize — the angel industry. I’m serious. Angels are the unicorns o f the ’90s, the Care Bears of the New Age crowd. They began to be popular about 10 years ago, around the same time America embraced the “recov ery” movement, aromathera py, runes, the Child W ithin, trauma as destiny and a spirituality so watered down it could only be used for mar keting purposes. According to reliable surveys, one out of two Americans actually!! believes that he or she is an angel.

ARIES
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Fake magic alert! Watch out for mirages, delusions, and hoaxes — especially the sexy ones. D on’t you dare let these imposters upstage the real magic that’s on its way. It won’t be easy. You’ll have to be as skeptical as a scientist and as open-minded as a mystic at the same time. The authentic miracle may be barely distinguishable from the phonies.
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-M ay 20): Entomologists in California decided to research the best way to respond to a bee sting. Should you scrape off the stinger or pinch it and pull it out? Conventional wisdom holds that the squeeze-and-extract method shoots more venom into the wound, but the scientists found that not to be the case. The only important rule, they say, is to get the damn thing out as fast as possible. W hich is my advice to you this week, Taurus, if by chance you’re pierced by a prickly irritation. D on’t sit there and waffle about what to do. Just remove it pronto.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Please don’t send m e a lock o f your hair or a check for $100 or the good luck charm you’ve had since you were a kid. I ll gladly cast a love spell in your behalf without pandering to your superstitions or picking your pocket. The only condition I place on this gift is that you allow me to cast the spell on you and you alone — not on the person you lust for. M y ethics don t allow me to mess with people’s desires 5t their will. Besides, your love for yourself is what needs most work.

Morocco this week. Specifically, I wish we could hang out with the sword-swallowers and con men and beggars in that place called Djemma el Fna, or “assembly place o f the nobodies.” Few projects would fulfill our current spiritual assignment better than to include ourselves among the ranks o f such a Crowd. We desperately need to feel empty, you see. Empty and egoless and utterly free o f self-importance. If you can’t manage a pilgrimage to this sacred blank spot right now, at least try to simulate such a sanctuary in your immediate environs.
than ready to move on to the next project. Trouble was, you’d already put in a lot o f time there, and you were afraid it would go to waste if you abandoned the job now. As you sat there twitching and fussing, a genie floated up to you and whispered, “What if I told you that those eggs you’re sitting on are destined to hatch into golden geese that lay golden eggs?”
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not-sogood ways to spend your time this week: sucking up to pied pipers; biting the hand that feeds you; looking a gift horse in the mouth; spitting in the wind; relying on cliches. Good ways to spend your time: upgrading your kissing techniques; giving juicy gossip in return for getting juicy gossip; sticking out your tongue at bullies; talking about how to improve everyone’s communication; trying new taste sensations.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): Have you always had a fantasy about making love with a stranger in a uniform? Well you can purge that from your list o f possibilities in the next couple weeks. It ain’t gonna happen. Or if it does, it’ll be stupid and poindess. Likewise, if you’re dreaming o f kissing a blemish-free celebrity or reliving the sexy exploits o f your adolescence or getting cozy with a saint who understands you perfectly — just fotget it. N o chance You’re sniffing out _______ _____ tf on the other

immediate gratification o f getting totally pissed off.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I think I’ve come up with an improvement on the Golden Rule. The old formula goes like this: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. A noble sentiment, yes, but maybe a bit selfish, too. It seems to imply that the motivation for being nice to people is so they’ll return the favor. Compare it with this gem from John Wooden: You can’t have a perfict day without doing something for someone who’l l never be able to repay you. To me, that’s an even more golden Golden Rule. Especially for the most generous folks o f the zodiac at the most generous phase o f their astrological cycle: you Sagittarians right now.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In a recent Harper’s, Lewis Lapham wrote about an octagenarian who’d discovered a flaw in a theory he’d relied on since h e was a young man. The old man faced this upheaval without compulsive aeomaing and
seal yourself off from a fizzling frustration that’s pained you or drained you.

I don’t ' mean this project will bloom and thrive overnight; rather, it will flash such a vivid glimpse o f its potential that you’ll be imprinted with the unflagging faith necessary to devote yourself to it over the years.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): As I closed my eyes and asked my subconscious mind to send me a vision for your week ahead, I saw an image o f you making a rock-star-like entrance onto a stage. You were decked out in a sleek black leather jacket, sunglasses, and headset microphone. A carnation in your hair softened the look, though, as well as silver silk pants. Your body language was the very embodiment o f macho triumph, arms furiously splayed upwards in the V-for-victory gesture — and yet your face was poignantly awash in its usual oceanic emotions. I like this vision a lot. It tells m e th a t . you’re aiming for the top p hutit are intent on 1

Luigi Lucionis love affair with Vermont began in 1930 when he was commissioned to paint a land scape for the newlywed Electra Webb Bostwick o f Shelburne. He returned every summer to paint, finally buying his own home in Manchester in 1939. A retrospective sampling o f Lucionis oils, watercolors and etchings o f Vermont are now showing at the Clarke Galleries in Stowe. Above, "Sunlight and Shadows” (I960).

The Burlington Waterfront: culture meets commerce By Pamela
Polston
t apparently is serendipitous, but this Friday’s evening confluence of several open ings, holiday sales and new art venues on or near Battery Street lights a fire under Burlington’s newest — and still shakiest — commercial dis trict. As with the parallel open ings at Firehouse Gallery and The Men’s Room a couple months back, the occasion provides downtown with a lit tle taste of SoHo for avid gallery-hoppers. It just might also call attention to a section of town that has quietly been developing — and would like to make a little more noise. A wine-tasting/reception at the Cornerstone Building’s Integrity Arts International corresponds with year-end open house/sales at Jane Kramer and Claude Lehman pottery studios and the award winning artisans at 11th Street Studio (who make eclectic hand-painted items) just down Battery Street. Along the way, art aficionados can stop in at Water Street Gallery to check out a unique spin on history from photo restorer Diane Hurteau and her partner Doug Murray: old photographs of the Burlington area tastefully matted and framed. Taking advantage of what is sure to be increased foot traf fic, the spanking-new Steele Street Gallery — which opened this Tuesday in the Wing Building — will remain open late on Friday. The space, occupying the former quarters of Richard Corbett Flowers, features an assortment of most ly Burlington artists, including Lance Richbourg, Leslie Fry, and James Kochalka. Wing occupants are hopeful that the
I
new gallery will help mitigate the loss of Mirabelle’s this win ter. Meanwhile, just two blocks uphill, Church & Maple Glass Studio celebrates its first anniversary with a blow-out open house and sale Friday night as well. (If you’re out for an art night, continue on to the Cheap Art Auction at the Last Elm and sale/exhibit of works by RR. Smith at the Fletcher Library.) Integrity Arts, owned by newcomers Kasandra Jacksen and Jay Lebow, will host a $15-for-15-wines affair while introducing five new artists to the fold: Russian/Montreal painter Dena Podolsky and four from the Southwest. The Native Canadian Jacksen intends to raise consciousness as well as art appreciation through her internationally focused gallery, and hopes the wine-and-cheese crowd will come Friday to raise glasses as well. Like the Church Street Marketplace and Pine Street before it, the WaterfrontBattery area is slowly acquiring its own identity and vitality. The Community and Economic Development Office just this week is organizing a focus group of waterfront area businesses to identify its issues, needs — and how to bring people down that hill, says C E D O ’s Bruce Seifer, a liaison with small businesses. Some merchants are talking up a neighborhood group similar to the Pine Street Arts and Business Association. “This is an exciting time in the history of the waterfront,” says Seifer. Interestingly, art, as much as commerce, is opening the door to the future. □

By Nancv S t e a r n s Bercaw ne of the female characters jokes, “This is not ‘90210’” at the conclusion of Girls Town, the debut film by Jim McKay about the rights and wrongs of passage amongst four teenage girls. Indeed, it is a bleak picture o f the journey into womanhood through an old-boys network of violence and victimization. But in this Town, starring Lili Taylor, get ting even is part of the picture. Girls, suggests McKay, can be boys, too.

Angela, Emma, Nikki and Patti are high school seniors and best friends. They seem different on the out side — ethnically and economi cally — but a shattering event and similar experiences provide them solidarity. The subsequent emergence of their “girls ’n’ the hood” personae raises issues about violence against women and explores “appropriate” reac tions to abuse. McKay’s lowbudget, high-impact cinema veriti creates characters both real and ideal who face, and react to, the harsh realities of their lives — reactions calculat
ed to make the viewer think and question. “It’s like a movie,” com ments one of the friends after their hell-raising adventures ensue. “If it were a movie,” quips another, “we’d have killed a million people by now.” The girls replace the grim reality of victimization for sweet revenge. But the only thing they really want to kill are the stereotypes that once stifled them. Girls Town was a risky proposition for McKay. Nobody in Tinseltown — where real females are forgotten — wanted to touch the film.
realistic? McKay leaves it unre solved. A handful of female high school students at the Savoy’s preview last week gave both thumbs up to Girls Towns mid dle-finger to the status quo. It may not be life in Montpelier, they concluded, but it still hit pretty close to home. Part of film’s appeal, in fact, is the seamless momentum when the girls turn on the town that had turned on them. McKay documents their trans formation intimately, finding the heart of the story through stream-of-consciousness work shops with women from varied
While action heroes make millions righting wrongs with violence, women on a rampage are verboten — unless they come in a relatively palatable package like Thelma and Lousie. McKay’s movie turns girls into gangstas. His little women become big troublemakers — further risking their futures. Reactionary or
backgrounds and professions. He then gave the actresses a loose script and license to improvise. And Girls was born. “It’s like we were watching them from a window,” observed a Montpelier student. Not a window of opportuni ty, apparent ly. Girls Town offers a bird’s eye view of hell. That is, of course, if you can bear to look. □

Welcome once again to the version of our game in which you get to catch up on your reading. While you're savoring the paragraphs below, keep an eye open for the titles of 16 motion pictures which we've woven into the literature... So this old girlfriend Denise calls up at four in the morning a couple of nights ago from - she said - a nuthouse somewhere in the backwoods of Georgia. Every now and then she pops up, so I didn't think much of it at first. A few years ago I got a card postmarked Alaska with nothing on it but an out-of-focus photograph of President Nixon and, beneath it, the word "FEAR" scrawled in what I assumed was red ink. One time she telephoned from Kansas City to say she was being held for ransom and could I send a thousand dollars. When I said no she replied "bogus" and hung up. Well, here it was nearly dawn, almost time for me to get on the bus that takes me to my job at City Hall, and Denise is frantic, asking a series of trick questions she thinks only I will be able to answer. Finally: "Look, Denise - it's me, Michael W. Richard III. If you've got something to say, I wish you'd get to it." There was a heavy silence which lasted minutes. Then, in a little-girl voice she suddenly whispered, "Eddie was always my favorite Munster."

Dear Lola. I’m 24 years old and I haven’t had an orgasm. My boyfriend tries sc hard, but to no avail. I've tried, too, but it’s no use. What’s wrong with me? The people who usually write to you don’t seem to have this problem. They’re always coming and going. — Stone Cold in Colchester Dear Stone, Nothing, I repeat, nothing is wrong with you. Come with me. Let's back up, slow down and get you of f .
The most common problem is rushing. In your eagerness to have an orgasm, you’re missing the best part — the process. Spend several sessions with your man touching everything but each other's genitals. See how good a long, languid llove-ycur-elbcw episode can be. A little bit later, bellow it up with a night oft kissing. Case your way back to sex. It shouldn’t be all or nothing, down there or up here, you have to be connected head to toe. Much later, you can bring a vibrator into the mix. Couples can get a little giggly over this apparatus, but don't let it intimidate you. Nothing beats direct stimulation. But be careful not to let a tertiary object come between you. It’s simply an extension of emotion. There are tons oft books on this subject as well. Cnlist a girlfriend to help you shop. Make it fun. Stop worrying. Love is letting go of fear. And an orgasm is the ultimate adventure. With love,
