New York City folksinger Christine Lavin wrote the song, THE NEW STREET PEOPLE, to encourage smokers to quit smoking. As students at River Ridge HIgh School & learning t.v. production skills with their library/media specialist teacher, Courtenay O'Connell, Andrew Ortoski, Jayme Hill, Kat Nece, & Anka van Zyl (named the New Port Richey Bodacious Buttkickers by Christine Lavin) created the music video for the song. This video won county, district, state, and international awards in the FAME competition in 2004. It won recognition in the Independent Film Festival that same year, sponsored the the Tampa Education Channel. In 2005, it won first place in the Friends of the Tarpon Springs Public Library, Inc., Sol Peska Film Competition. In 2006, KORR-TV5's Scott Dyl created a quicktime movie of the video for uploading on the school's website, but now, as a member of YouTube, others can see it now!

  • Excellent production.

  • Christine Lavin is very talented, but as a former smoker, I can say her "tough love" theory is rubish. When I was a smoker I didn't put up with this shit, and neither will other smokers. I quite because I was ready, not because someone pissed me off. I have to admit anti smoking adds make me want to smoke.... Bottom line smokers will smoke or quite when they say, and not the otherway around. Great song though

  • Great job editing .. especially for a HS group .. I do wish the video transfer was a little better .. Love Christine Lavin .. Very good job!!

  • I have loved Christine Lavin for years...so glad she wrote this song. Smoking is a disgusting habit.

  • EXCEPTIONAL!!! As a former student of Ms. O'Connell, that was AWESOME! I understand that some awards were won for that piece....Great editing!!! WOW....makes you realize how gross smoking is! The scene that grossed me out was the girl with the ashtray....ohh my....good thing I already ate!
