Seeking partner who appreciates commitment, strength, and great resale value Yeah, people love cars, but usually the cars they love are big, fancy, and expensive. One exception is the Saturn, a car that has won hearts all over the country. Now, it may not be big and fancy, but its roomy, comes chock full of standard features, and (this is what really tugs at the ol' heartstrings) its available for around $13,300. That's right, love is in the air. M.S.R.P of the 1998 Saturn SL-2 is S13,330 including retailer preparation, transportation, and emissions. Tax title and registration extra.

I bought a tin and popped it open, fully expecting to be bowled over by who knows what awful aroma. Didn't happen. The smell was...surprisingly mild. Moreover, the stuff was edible, if salty.

AGAINST THE WIND

If you get the impression that everyone from Gov. Howard Dean on down is patting themselves on the back for passing the "landmark" drunk-driving bill, you're almost right. There was, however, a lone "no" vote cast against the much-heralded DWI bill. It was cast by Rep. Carolyn Yarnell (D-Colchester), a veteran of six terms under the golden dome. Yarnell explained her vote on the floor by telling colleagues, "Mr. Speaker, when our federal and state constitutions were written, the authors were very wary of police and governmental powers. I still am, so I voted no." Yarnell, a "moderate" Democrat not seeking re-election, told Inside Track the new DWI law "basically gives the police and government too much power over the lives of people." She noted part of the funding for the 16 new troopers, who will come on board over the next two years, comes from fines and surcharges levied against people who get busted under the provisions of the new law. That, she warned, will only encourage overly aggressive enforcement. As for tightening the screws on drinkers under 21, Yarnell said, "It's only going to drive them further and further out into the woods. Let's deal with reality instead of making criminals of these kids." Thank you, Rep. Yarnell. Non-politically correct views can be so refreshing. In fact, the lawyers we talked to who work in the courthouse trenches don't think the new law — despite all the press — is worth a hill of beans. They see it as a public relations gambit for politicians. Judges "may" order a defendant's car immobilized or forfeited after a second or third arrest, but the folks who deal with these cases for a living note that the vast majority of DWI and DLS cases are settled by plea-bargaining, anyway. Judges are under pressure to move the docket along, they say, and they won't fancy the notion of scheduling additional court hearings on forfeiture requests. As it stands, the only item in the new DWI bill that the defense bar sees as effective is the additional 16 state troopers assigned to DWI enforcement. Funny, but that's the one thing in the bill that Ho-Ho fought hardest against. Two's a Crowd? — T h e political juices are flowing in Vermont like maple sap at the season peak. Seems like everybody's running for something. And this week Inside Track has learned GOP congressional hopeful Jack Long — the Democrat candidate two years ago — just might have some competition before he gets a clear shot at Bernie Sanders. Forty-six-year-old Mark Candon of the Rutland County Candons, tells Inside Track he's "giving serious thought" to jumping into the race. Candon served two terms in the Vermont House in the early 1980s. He was a Democrat, as all good Candons are. But get this. Mark is turning his back on the rich Democratic heritage of the famous Candon clan — cousins Tom and Jack both served under the golden dome with distinction and Sr. Elizabeth, nun of nuns, is his aunt. He says if he runs for Ol' Bernardo's seat, it'll be as a Republican. What's with all the political crossdressing? "I have nothing against Jack Long," says Candon, a stockbroker. "I'm looking at our socialist friend from Brooklyn." This is anything but good news for Jack Longshot. He's already having a tough time raising money. A Candon candidacy means a Republican primary, and that puts the cork in

say. McMullen Update — Republican U.S. Senate candidate, Bashful Jack McMullen, is planning his official campaign kick-off for the third week in May. To get the biggest bang possible, he's invited all the G O P senators from New England to join him on the podium. Let's see, that's Susan Collins and Olympia Snow of Maine, Judd Gregg and Bob Smith of New Hampshire, John Chaffee of Rhode Island and Jeezum Jim Jeffords of Vermont. Rubbing shoulders with real senators would help Bashful Jack's image, or lack thereof. So far, says McMullen, none have accepted his invite, though Collins, he says, "is receptive." Chief of Staff Susan Russ tells Inside Track Sen. Jeffords has a scheduling conflict and can't make it. Gosh darn it. But what if there wasn't a scheduling conflict, we asked? "I think he would be there," said Russ. "There's no reason why he wouldn't. He supports Republicans running for office." I Yeah, sure, but what about millionaire Massachusetts Republicans running in Vermont races? Jeezum crow! If Bashful Jack can't get any I takers, maybe he should ask Patrick Leahy to come? Just trying to be helpful. Winooski Prostitute? — Another very interest- | ing vote on the last day of the legislative session ® was cast by Rep. Don Brunelle (R-Winooski). I Brunelle voted for the meaningless mercery bill j that was so dear to the heart of Benny tn€ Bagman Rep. Ben Rose (D-Williston). After the votes were tallied, the rep from Winooski rose to explain his vote. "There are | times," Brunelle told the members of the House, "when prostitution is a way out." Say what? Brunelle explained to Inside Track this week I that there were a couple of items in the bill he | liked, and one he didn't — the labeling provi| sion. "To vote for the bill," said Brunelle, "I had to prostitute myself on the one I didn't like." | World's oldest profession, they say. Act 60 Splash! — Vermont's controversial new | education funding law was all over the New York press last week with a blistering editorial I in The Wall Street Journal and a magazine piece | in Sunday's New York Times. "Class warfare" was j the theme of both pieces. The one-sided Journal Z article featured the usual Act 60 crybabies: 1 Rutland Mayor Jeff Wennberg, famous author r John Irving of Dorset, who gets celebrity ink | for labeling Act 60 "Marxist," Mary Barrosse of g 1 East Dorset, who started Vermont Parents for Quality Education (not to be confused with Vermont Parents Against Quality Education, which has yet to be formed), and John McClaughry, Vermont's perennial right-wing political curmudgeon. Barrosse and Irving popped up in the Times' | piece, too. Mr. Famous Writer's "Marxism" line | was featured once again, and we now know that g in her younger days, Ms. Barrosse was in a band that played in the East Village. (Played folk music, we're told.) To the media minds of the Big Apple, get- g ting wealthy Vermonters to share a little is "class ^ warfare," but maintaining working-class kids in I academic hand-me-downs isn't. Apparently, to | the summer set, cash-strapped Vermont schools | are just plain rustic and damn well better stay g that way. ® » ^ ^

Stev, Cormier is back in action, with both barrels blazing. The disgruntled deejay was back in the saddle Monday morning, riding his former employers so hard he harshed on Artie Lavigne on air and called for an advertising boycott of WIZN-FM. Now at Champ, the volatile half of "Corm and the Coach" is still after the Wizard to release his partner, Coach Tom Brennan, from a contract that keeps him out of commission until fall. A few local business have picked up on the publicity stunt that challenges the Wizard to "free" Brennan and "let the best morning show win." The Wizard is capitalizing on the delay to recoup some of the market share lost when its popular morning team took off. "They're scared. They're just scared," Cormier declares on his first day back. As for Howard Stern, who replaced "Corm and the Coach" with four fart-filled hours of "humor" every morning, Cormier comments, "I think he was very entertaining years ago. P a i n a ' c nPYt litpr5 Now all he says all day is, Did you "eXI do her?' The second day on he had flfy pf()jeCt COUld the Klu Klux Klan." IZN has lost . « ». ij..i some advertisers on account of His ° Howardness, but Cormier would fdTfHOT afifilcl. If S 6 like to see the station lose a lot U f '4' more. The latest wrinkle is a legal gnOSf-WTl11ng g i g one: The Wizard claims to own the J q j t J^jg fgfJigjf]name "Corm and the Coach." , « » Cormier says the trademark IK1Q 1116111 D6f 01 belongs to him. Will it come to ^ V e i l ' S Gate, cease and desist? Not likely, considering how much money the Wiz has dropped over the past few years defending its radio tower rights in Charlotte. That particular conflict inspired a most unusual work of fiction in the April issue of Harper's. "Unapproved Minutes," by Vermont author Tom Paine, recounts a similar story in the dry, "order was restored" style of a town zoning meeting. The names have been changed, of course, but the setting is unmistakably Charlotte. Paine's next literary project could take him a little farther ; afield. It's a ghost-writing gig for the last remaining member of Heaven's Gate. "He wants his name on the cover," Paine says of Rio Diangelo, "but needs help telling his tale." Fact-checking could be a challenge, considering the circumstances. "I said, 'But Rio, I'm a fiction writer,'" Paine explains. "And he said, That's just what we need."' G A R D E N V A R I E I Y : So far no one has been depressed enough to dig up the St. John's Wort growing outside Purple Shutter Herbs on Main Street in Burlington. But the display garden plays a critical role in educating people about the medicinal side of horticulture. "A large part of this is touching and feeling and smelling the plants," says owner Laura Brown. And weeding, of course. "The lavender is up, the flax is up," Brown reports. "The chamomile is just standing. The hops vine is growing up the tree." Bring on'the brew . . . You can forget about getting in on the agricultural action at the Intervale Community Farm in Burlington, unless you already have your "share." Even with increased capacity, all the slots were filled by March. Should make the row easier to hoe for Urban Roots — a new community-supported agricultural endeavor that is also based in the Intervale. The new kids on the block go the extra distance — and they deliver. Beets bagging your own.

"We are staying away from words like 'best' and 'winner,'" Paul Ugalde of says of the kinder, gentler Bessie Awards happening this Wednesday at the Radisson. The development director of Burlington City Arts sums up the local equivalent of the Oscars as "citations for outstanding work." Despite all the hoopla about moviemaking in Vermont, a whole lot more plays get produced each year than films. That presented some challenges for the film "academy," which consisted of John Douglas, Joe Bookshin, Kenny Peck, John O'Brien, Loranne Turgeon, Barry Snyder and Brooke Wetzel, who was not there for the voting, but sent her opinions along. "The awards are already off to the engraver," Ugalde notes two days before showtime, "and we are not even breathing hard" . . . Kate Tamarkin may get you, my pretty, in the celebrity performance of the Wizard of Oz Saturday night at the Flynn. But it will be worth the price of admission to see Jim Jeffords and Bernie Sanders playing musical midgets. The congressional delegates were cast as members of the Lollypop Guild.

ho hasn't experienced the rapture of recycling? The struggle to schlep the blue box to the curb...the frustration of finding your offerings rejected by the wily lords of the waste stream! Who are those mysterious men who steer their big white recycling trucks down our city streets? What secrets lie beyond the curb? What better way to answer these and other imponderables than by hitching a ride on a Burlington recycling truck? Our journey begins on Farrington Parkway, a quiet street of single-family homes in Burlington's New North End. It's March, and a ragged snow is sifting down on the waiting blue boxes. A Special K box tumbles dejectedly down the sidewalk. The truck pulls up beside us with a hiss of air brakes and our host and driver, Mike Green, welcomes us aboard. Green's devotion to his job has made him a poster boy for Burlington's curbside recycling program. A 34-year-old native Vermorifei" with ruddy cheeks and a ready grin, Green volunteers right off how much he enjoys his work. "I like the physical aspect. It keeps me in shape. And I feel I'm doing something good for the benefit of my children." Green's experiences in rubbish removal have brought him face-to-face with the trash-disposal crisis. "Less than 10 years ago, the Williston landfill was a big hole in the ground," he says. "You had to drive way down to dump your load. Gradually you didn't have to drive down at all, and then you Had to drive up." He indicates the steep angle with his yellowgloved hand. "You were literally driving up a mountain of garbage." The Williston facility reached capacity three years ago. Today, two private transfer stations forward Burlington's waste to Coventry or Moretown, Vermont, or Clinton County, New York. Last year, almost 3000 tons of recyclables — about a third of the residential garbage — was captured at curbside, a performance that earned this earth-friendly burg top honors from the Northeast Resource Recovery Association. "Burlington is a very environmentally conscious community," boasts Scott Johnstone, Director of Public Works.

But recycling is no longer the sexy eco-issue it was in 1991, when blue boxes were mandated. Nor is it the political hot potato it became two years later, when private trash haulers were handed the task of collecting the weekly 50-cent Solid Waste Generation Tax that funds the program. Rather, Johnstone says, recycling today is " just part of the culture." Especially among homeowners and long-term residents in neighborhoods like Farrington Parkway. Green eases the truck up the road, inching from blue box to blue box. At each stop, he hops out, grabs the bag of newspapers, junk mail and flattened cracker boxes sitting on top of each box and tosses it into a loading bin on the side of the truck. With his other hand, he upends the blue box, dumping a jumble of jam jars, soup cans and shampoo bottles into another side-bin. Then he carefully replaces the empty blue box by the curb face down and moves on to the next house. Every few houses, he raises the side-bins. The vehicle rocks and roars as papers and containers tumble into the divided main body of the truck. Green's route begins at 7:30 a.m. sharp. He handles between 500 and 700 blue boxes daily working alone, and up to 1200 when he has a partner. But an important piece of the work is the sorting, rinsing and bundling residents do during the week. Rinsing containers guards against contaminants and protects the drivers' health. Corrugated cardboard needs to be sized to the truck, and bundled so it won't blow away. The better residents do their job, says Recycling Manager Cindy Burton, the better Green can do his. "We service about 2000 households a day with two trucks. If we had to sort through everything, the cost would be prohibitive," she says. The worst thing people put out? "Crappy dirty diapers," says Green. In fact, young mothers are his least-favorite customers. "You can tell who has young kids," he grumbles. "They won't bundle their cardboard or break down their cereal boxes. Older people seem to have more sense of where this is leading to if we just keep putting out more trash." Johnstone tactfully explains that most people want to do the right thing, but some people don't know how. Frats' notoriously sloppy recycling

SPIN THE BOTTLE Mike Green and his fellow recycling-truck drivers aren't the only people who prowl the city in search of blue boxes. In certain neighborhoods, a small army of scavengers goes out ahead of the trucks to harvest the Coke and Catamount containers that are often thrown into the recycling mix. Twenty years before Burlington made recycling mandatory, Vermont's bottle bill turned soda cans and beer bottles into 5-cent commodities, and a deposit economy, including Boy Scouts and homeless folks, was spawned. Green sees the so-called "bottlepickers" as a nuisance, because they mess up the boxes and get in his way. But the conflicting claims of recyclers and bottle-bill advocates go beyond mere annoyance within the environmental movement. "The bottle bill really works," says Representative Mary Sullivan (D-Burlington), who supported this year's failed attempt to expand the legislation to include a wider class of beverages. "Ninety percent of the bottles are returned." Chittenden Solid Waste District General Manager Tom Moreau supports the bottle bill as the state's most effective waste diversion tool. But he also points out that the legislation diverts some of the most valuable materials from the Materials Recovery Facility. "I get $27 a ton for fibers and $86 a ton for containers. In many states, the MRF can't afford a bottle bill." If the bottle bill were expanded, Moreau says, recycling would become more expensive. Conversely, if the bill were repealed altogether, the proceeds from selling valuable aluminum cans would enable the District to recycle a broader range of materials. Scott Johnstone corroborates Moreau's contention. "New Hampshire doesn't have a bottle bill. When I was working there, I paid for my snow plowing with my recycling proceeds." But, he adds, "If we're interested in doing a really good job of diverting material, but we don't want a strong arm, then the bottle bill is the way to go. If you don't have a bottle bill, you've got to have phenomenally strong requirements to make sure you're recycling." Money is a proven incentive. — R.H.

SEVEN DAYS

habits, he contends, result more from ignorance than malice. "Recycling is like noise or any other community issue," he says. "There are different people every year. It's a project that never goes away." On Heineberg Road, a man carries his blue box down his driveway, hands it politely over to Green, waits for him to dump it, then carries it back inside. "This route is pretty clean," Green comments. "A lot of that has to do with the person driving the truck and educating the people." Green takes extra steps to collect a disabled woman's box from her door, or to leave a route tidier than he found it — whether he's collecting from mansions on the hill or mobile homes on North Avenue. "I take a little extra time to get the empty blue boxes all upside down," he muses. "When I get through with a street, I like the look of all the bins lined up down the street." He shakes his head. "Maybe I need to get a life." - Green's curbside manner has made hinfr a darling of discard- One lady in the hill section always holds her two Chihuahuas up to her living room window so they can see the truck. "I'll drive up and the dogs will be going ballistic. It's like they live all week for it," Green laughs. A New North End woman watches for the truck with her two kids. Green always waits to dump his side-bins in front of their house. Last summer, a couple of kids in an Old North End neighborhood would come out on Rollerblades and race each other up the street, dumping the blue boxes into the truck. One persistent recycling sinner resisted repeated arguments about why he should arrange his blue box correctly, until Green finally cajoled, "Do it for me. "That comes from being good with people. Which I am, ha ha," Green modestly points out. The driver's good will goes beyond the call of duty, says Burton. "They don't have to shake people's hands, but a wave is nice. They're the face of recycling." Giving a good face became crucial last summer, when residents suddenly found their meat trays, milk Continued

your earphones, boys and girls — James is back. Yep, the controversial one-named DJ on The Buzz is back in the saddle, or at least a Tonto to the Lone Ranger (Picard) up there in 99.9 land. Programming Director Stephanie Hindley says the lad was taken back because "we missed him on-air." Maybe the rude dude has been going to etiquette school during his hiatus. But if not, hey, maybe he'll liven things up around here. In other news from the Buzz, the station and Advance Music are hosting a Best High School Band search, prizes being studio time at Eclipse, a stereo master demo, a professional band photo, a spot on the Big Heavy

World Web site (www.bigheavyworld.com), and discounts on stuff from Advance. Six finalists will amp it out at Club Toast May 22, where one band will be declared the victor, and the rest will go home broken and dejected. Just kidding: It's not whether you win or lose... it's how you play your instruments. Anyway, pick up your applications at Advance, 75 Maple Street in Burlington, or mail and SASE to 99.9 The Buzz, POB 99.9, Burlington, VT 05402. And may the best young band kick butt.

continued from page 9 level ("Babylon '98") — it just doesn't ring true to i Vermont. And, 1 have to say, 1 would be just as happy to never hear "Hip Hop Girl" — an adaptation of Chin Hoi's "1 lippie Girl" — ever again. It's got a good groove, and the locally oriented lyrics are funny — the first time — but for my ears the novelty wore off a long time ago. First-time listeners may find the satire amusing, but I don't think it's the best choice for a closer. That aside, DysFunkShun serves up Gravy with a wo I lop, and demonstrates on disk what local fans already know and love.

(Addison Ababa Records, CD) — There is one thing wrong with New Nile Orchestras latest recording: that you cant experience Ethiopian vocalist Ktflu 8 Q -W

holographic im ages emanating from our compact discs, that will remain a problem for visually stimulating bands. Kidane certainly isn't the only one, but, as local fans know, NNO live is a colorful and kinetic thing. That said, New Flower is a clean, at flawless version (produced by the band and IliisliiPipi Eller Studios) of Vermont's most ethnic band. L 1 will say Kidane is singing in Ethiopian, thou r L : for all I know. Unencumbered by an effort to i singing about, the listener is free to give in to the visceral rhythms of Afro-pop. These the Western bandmates adopted quite handily as their own — percussioni: >nnell keep a drummer Simeon Darley Chapin and bassist John >rn and key^wholelotta ass-shakin goin on, while guitarist boardist Hon Rost pile on elements of funk, worldbeat pop-rock and even a touch of hip-hop (Gus Zeising on sax and fiddler Pete Sutherland contribute as well). While the multi-layered rhythms of Africa can confound Western expectations of song structure, the nonstop percolation of most of these dozen songs — most derived from traditional songs of different regions of Africa — is like an aural linedance, punctuated by the exotic, nimble wail of Kidane over all. Exceptions are the more familiar reggae lope of "Indetemenehuat," the poppy melody of "Hubbeni" and some of the ethereal keyboard work on "Yebete Zemedu." A slew of back-up singers gives New Flower the feel of a "village" celebration — there is no deviation from brightness and joy. That's why any New Nile Orchestra show is an unabashed party — check for yourself at the CD release party this Saturday at Higher Ground. Boston's Afro-popsters Sankai open.

(self-released CD) —The Gordon Stone Trio have found their groove alongside other contemporary, non-traditional banjo outfits (e.g., Bela Fleck) — a sub-genre that includes in its lineage the gypsy jazz-pop of Django Reinhardt, and has shaken bluegrass loose from its roots. With a growing embrace from jam band fans (Stone has performed with Phish) and increasing tour dates, the trio-that-is-oftena-quartet is making a splash in a much larger puddle than the Burlington music scene. Right from the start of the band's latest — and the first with new guitarist Josh Stacy — "Pachysandra" introduces the musical hybrid that GST have made their own, with a cheery composition that I'd like built into my alarm clock. "Hubblevilie" mixes up a syncopated jazzy feel — with an extra-swell excursion from Stacy — and whiffs of Appalachia. "Medley: Time Reel/Abdul's" is a lickety-split exercise that shares speed-demon duty between Stones nimble plucking and that of Andy Cotton's low-rumbling bass — his emphasis on a sinister-sounding bottom is a smart counterpoint to the bright tones of the banjo. The title track warms up gradually, adding layers of instrumentation but remaining light and impish — the bass is nearly subliminal, the drums lead without imposjam Sxacysguit; illii Ww<wtm

around Stone's banjo like they've been doing it since birth. Two drummers are accredited*;'though not by track, so I'm not sure who's playing when, but Russiawton and Gabejarrett make a seamless force with an appropriately understated touch. "Hoggin' the Spotlight" features Stone on pedal steel guitar in a melodious composition — one of my favorites here — that gallops along in a ska-country style with a brief slow and ethereal passage. "Sunday Driver" peels out oxomoronically, faster than a pizza delivery, with trade-offs between banjo and guitar, suddenly breaks Into a deceptive saunter, then races off again toward some imagined finish iinei l i e closer "Tiramisu," is a beautiful, melancholy instrumental ballad with guest David Gusakov on violin — the bowed strings complem^r Stone's delicate layers of banjo and pedal steel like a lovers caress. Even With the Odds is a finely crafted piece of work — yet another from Charbi £Uer Studios, with Lane Gibson suitably noted as "Zengineer." Like the best artistry, it impresses not with grandstanding but with cool, seemingly effortless virtuosity. Check the odds at GST's id.®

rhythm & news Continued from page 8 event, it occurred to me that coorganizer Doreen Krafts comment rang very true: that we've come to wonder who's playing, not whether the festival will occur. Standing there taking the whole thing for granted, I imme diately snapped to attention and began to appreciate anew the massive achievement that the Discover Jazz Fest really is. Kudos to Jimmy Swift, Laura Cole and the whole team for bringing us yet another — the 15th! — and helping keep Burlington on the musical map. And though I'm squeamish about mentioning corporate sponsors, I have to say that if it wasn't for Skip Farrell of Farrell Distributing (Seven Up-Pepsi), the Jazz Fest might very well not exist. There. The second thing that struck me was that James Cotton is, in fact, still alive — and performing in the ever-popular Blues Tent during the festival. I'm not the only one who thought Mr. Cotton had died a few months back. But, to paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated. Anyone know the origin of that urban myth? OK, OK, you want to know this year's line-up. I have space only for the headliners — look for more on the Jazz Fest on these pages later: Roy Hargrove Sextet, Gerry Hemingway Quartet, Lester Bowie, Michael Ray, Dianne Reeves with Clark Terry, Leon Parker and Cubanismo! Whew.

DO GOOD DEPT. If there were any justice in the world, the Green Candle Theater company would not have to rely on the kindness of...musicians. A band benefit in January was so successful — and so much fun, reports GCT president Stephen Sharp — that the company wants to re-create the show. This Monday at Metronome, Ryan Ober (from Invisible Jet), Yankee Pot Roast, Cranial Perch and Lone Star Monkey pull out the stops. Actually, though the eight-year-old theater group is far from pitiful. Sharp says the company is actually doing "phenomenally well right now." The only thing we're missing is our own space," he says. "That's our number-one goal." Guess that "all the world's a stage" stuff isn't good enough. Anyway, enter stage right and enjoy the musical. .. . Bloozotomy, East Coast Muscle and Run for Cover, along with WIZN, are putting on "Home-Aid Jam" this Thursday at 8 p.m at The Slammer in Milton. Specifically, the benefit's for Cosmo Dattilio, who was critically injured during the ice storm. The Milton father of two has been in a coma since January 6, and his family carries no insurance. Reportedly Dattilio was a WIZN fan, so the station is trying to give a little back. Even corporate sponsors Coors Lite and EZ Wider will donate to the fund. Slammin'... (7)

J ano in the case of a certain Vermont burg, one town's flotsam is another town's front page. Since it hired Patrick and Cathy Palmer to collect its recyclables a year ago, Bristol has been inundated with journalists from news organizations like the BBC, the Boston Globe and "Good Morning America." The hot story here is not about "trailer trash," as the term has been applied in numerous White House scandals, but garbage — and how it gets picked up. The Palmers use old-fashioned horse power to make the recycling rounds in Bristol. Their custommade cart is hauled by two powerful work horses, Luke and Zach, who have become popular characters in this town of 4000. The pair of Percherons collects as many apples and carrots as cereal boxes and milk cartons on its route, which takes six to eight hours — and two trips to the landfill — to complete. Not only is their method practical and ~ eco-friendly in Bristol, which is mostly flat; it makes the most unsightly job in town look downright picturesque.

Die - ana a 101 or sausiactlon - W h e n I m up here, I m in my element," Pat Palmer says as he maneuvers his team onto the River Road for a workout. "I just feel good." Fifty-one-year-old Palmer came up with the idea of a

own recycling program, was, "Oh, that would be cute." If it doesn't open doors at Casseila, cute apparently plays real well in the national media. Nobody, least of all the Palmers, bar^ gained for the constant attention — it hasn't let up all year. "A friend of ours called from Japan to say he'd seen us on television," says Cathy Palmer, listing with mild annoyance all the national networks she has entertained in the past year: "NBC, CBS, CNN...I've lost track. We are all media-ed out," she says.

In Bristol, no one says neigh to recycling

Patrick Palmer was one of four subcontractors who were interested in the weekly garbage gig that used to be handled by local highway department personnel. Although his was the second lowest bid, by about 600 dollars, "there was the charm of it," says Scott Powell, the district coordinator of water, sewer and landfill operations. Palmer did a few runs for free, just to prove to the town he could pull it off, and "the

non-motorized rubbish service from an article he read, about an Oregon town that used horse power to supplement its squadron of recycling trucks. But as far as he knows, no other municipality in the country uses animals exclusively — not even in Amish country, where the roads are permanently grooved from the pounding of hooves. He would like to . „ service a few more towns, but only nearby Middlebury makes practical s£nse. The response from the college, which has its

Unfortunately, the Palmers don't get paid by the story — nor the priceless publicity they've generated for Bristol. But getting the horses out and about once a week has generated local interest in their winter sleighride business. They also do weddings.

"What bugs me most about the media is how they come with their own agenda," Cathy Palmer says. "This guy from 'Good Morning America kept asking everybody, 'But is it practical? But is it practical?' We said,/Yeah, it is for Bristol.' and he'd say, 'Oh, come on...' Horse power may not be as fast as motorized* but its efficient." She adds, "Just because we want to do everything faster and bigger, doesn't mean all the old ways are obsolete," ®

and sold. The previous contractor, CRS, tolerated a higher level of contamination, according to CSWD General Manager Tom Moreau. Cardboard six-packs and icecream cartons are treated with plasticisers so they won't fall apart when they get wet, he explains. Those same chemicals make the cardboard resist being mixed, and show up as streaks in the new cardboard. CRS's approach meant more items in the blue box, but yielded a lower return in the market. In contrast, Cassella is pickier about what it will accept and stricter about processing the stuff before shipping it out. As a result, C S W D recyclables now fetch premium prices. Moreau points out that with the District receiving half the proceeds and passing the revenue on to participating communities in the form of lower drop-off fees, it's in everyone's best interest to cooperate.

plastic lumber products. But Johnstone believes that, even with this new market, the amount of refuse diverted from the landfill through recycling is unlikely to increase significantly. "The next step," he maintains, "is source reduction. How to convince people not to buy the big, fancy packaging. It's not something a municipality can take up; it's not even something the state can take up." Our journey ends back where it began, on Farrington Parkway. The snow has stopped falling, and the neatly overturned blue boxes wait for their owners to carry them inside and fill them with another week's worth of reclaimable waste. Once you've ridden on a recycling truck, these boxes will never look the same to you again. To paraphrase Herodotus: "You can't step in the same waste stream twice." ®

In the case of Barnett's work, it may take two, three, even a dozen looks to realize that it's one of the "greatest faux on earth," as declares the company car, a drive-by advertisement decorated in circus kitsch. Back to your own dwelling. Suppose you own a townhouse — the kind that looks exactly like the ones next door, where you depend on the mailbox numbers to remind you which house is yours. Imagine that at the end of a long day you get

With trompe Foeil, what you see. is all thai matters

Floor, chair and armoire by Ruby is the imagination, the elbow grease and paint, as applied by local artists like Nancy Barnett or Ruby Anstadt. Before you know it, you'll be living like a king — or queen. Both women possess the seemingly magical ability to transform, Cinderella-like, furniture, floors and walls into something else again. Barnett, proprietor of the Fresco Studio in Burlington, turns tacky linoleum into museum-quality mosaic. She specializes in trompe I'oeil, which Webster's clumsily defines as "a painting, etc., that creates such a strong illusion of reality that the viewer on first sight is in doubt as to whether the thing depicted is real or a representation." It took the French, apparently, to come up with a phrase for this phenomenon. april

Anstadt out of your Subaru Outback, wave pleasantly to the neighbors, who are all getting out of their Subaru Outbacks, drag yourself up the sidewalk and open your front door. And there, straight ahead, is a giraffe hidden behind a bamboo hut. A little further down the wall a lion lounges in green grass. You mix up some margaritas. You can almost hear the exotic birds chirping, the breeze blowing. You've escaped to the tropics without leaving your living room. Okay, so maybe the thought of bamboo makes you itch. According to Barnett, she and her partner, Rebecca Sykes^ — who have painted the town red from SoHo to Japan and back again — don't just do jungles. In fact, they don't just do murals. If you visit Barnett's

home and studio at 30 Pitkin Street, you'll see a Formica countertop that looks like marble. A refrigerator that looks like finished wood. A floor that looks like stone. A wall that looks like brick. Wallpaper that looks like leopard skin. And all with texture so convincing, you'll have to touch everything to difotMzvt your eyes. But what if you can't, or don't want to, commit to a whole wall? As a renter, maybe you can't change your galley kitchen into a Parisian cafe, your bathroom into a miniSistine Chapel. No problem; you can start small, say, with a table or chair. If so, Ruby Anstadt, co-owner of the DollAnstadt Gallery in Burlington, is your artist. In fact, she recommends "only one or two pieces" of funked-out furniture per room. Anstadt's work combines the utilitarian with the aesthetic, as she strives to "put color in life." Some of her currently displayed samples include: a children's table white-washed in pastel with star stencils, so sweet you wish you were the right size for junior tea parties; a handpainted armoire that combines fun colors with authentic Vermont craftmanship; a pair of chairs, which fold and hang on the wall, for a Martha Stewart-inspired breakfast nook; a marbleized table that is sure to inspire livelier conversation. Currently, Anstadt is working with Kim Bombard to create an "almost retail line of furniture" — six pieces with three decorated surface possibilities, each still "handled by human beings." She anticipates the line will be ready within the year. Barnett is moving her studio by the end of May to the highly desirable waterfront space at 1 Main Street, where the view, faux or real, promises to be spectacular. But don't think all this creativity comes cheap; it doesn't. According to Barnett, her wall finishes are "comparable to wallpaper prices. The fancier the wallpaper, the higher the price." A basic wall finish may cost around $700. Anstadt is aiming for what she calls the "medium market." A children's table and two chairs, for instance, run about $385; an armoire, $685; a particularly gorgeous grown-up's armchair, $1200. Never mind canvas and frame, both Barnett and Anstadt create art that interacts with us in our three-dimensional daily lives. What's more, they've personalized it. Which brings to mind another old adage: "You get what you pay for." ®

t started out when I was a child. I would ask my M o m when we were having Brussels sprouts again. I liked peanut butter on fresh cabbage. I took slices of raw turnip to school in my lunch (tasty, but you couldn't trade 'em for anything). Frank Zappa's song "Call Any Vegetable," spoke to me. After all these years, I admire them, I eat copious quantities of them, and whenever possible I grow them. Gardening appeals to me on many levels. There's the satisfaction of being outdoors; of watching the seasons change, with the slow but perceptible response of the plants. There's the mystery of each plant type carrying the genetic instructions to become a tomato, a carrot, a melon. But I think the best part is that veggies don't talk (I have a job where I pretty much listen to people's problems all day long). In the garden, I'm free to let my mind unwind. Generally speaking, there are two types of gardeners in Vermont. T h e "normal" types start on Memorial Day and wrap it up around Labor Day. Normal gardeners grow standard veggies in standard sizes, shapes and colors. They are apt to buy The Reader's Digest Guide to Gardening. T h e second type are the hardcore. They have over-wintered spinach popping up in

April, ripe tomatoes in early July instead of mid-August, and are still brushing snow off the kale in December. Hardcore gardeners grow weird things like purple asparagus, fivepound onions and salsify ("the Vegetable Oyster"). They're apt to read The Four-Season Gardener, in which Maine author Eliot Coleman describes how he made an entire meal — appetizer, main course, side dish and dessert — out of parsnips. Let me be emphatic: Organic gardening is the only way to go. Sure, there are voracious bugs and nasty plant diseases out there, and yes, it does take longer to make compost and build up the organic matter in your soil, but the chemical shortcuts are indicative of what's wrong with our whole food system and general ecological mindset in this profit-hungry culture. Organic gardening means you're eating safely, because you can't "overdose" your plants on too much fertilizer or pesticide. Plus, you're engaging in the true stewardship of your small plot of land — a means of "right action," as the Buddhists would say.

kohlrabi? W h a t possesses me — or anyone — to grow red, pink, orange, yellow, green, white, purple, black, striped and fuzzy tomatoes? T h e answer: simply a fascination with the vegetable kingdom, and the delight in eating something the local grocery either doesn't have, or displays in limp condition after the trip from California. Perhaps you'd like to expand your horizons. Like potatoes? Ronniger's in Washington State has 74 varieties. How about hot peppers? The Pepper Gal catalog lists 174 kinds. Thought garlic was limited to the white, papery bulbs you see in the store? Filaree Farms claim they grow a staggering 450 varieties of garlic (to make things easier, they only sell 163). And then

Morgan, Shumway's (great oldtimey catalog) and Jung (no relation to Carl, though one could make a case that our relationship to vegetables is indeed archtypal). Then there are the companies with "personality" — the specialty suppliers. Vermont has three claims to fame in this department. The first and best known is The Cook's Garden. Shepard and Ellen Ogden started selling gourmet lettuce to restaurants around their Londonderry home, and gradually branched into selling seeds. They are known as one of the premium suppliers of seeds for salad greens (over 40 varieties), although their catalog carries other vegetables that they've tested themselves, both for growing and cooking.

pricy mesclun mix that the supermarkets carry can be duplicated easily — and be even fresher — if you have nothing more than a small patch of ground outside the kitchen, or even some soilfilled containers. Besides numerous types of lettuce, there are vitamin-rich, flavorful greens like arugula, mizuna, radicchio, endive, cress, mustard, chervil and mache. And trying some new salad green is not like mushroom hunting — there's no chance you'll end up in the E.R. The best way to become introduced to the world of vegetables like your parents never served you is to become a catalog collector. Like many other areas of commerce in this bigger-is-better culture, seed companies can be roughly divided into the "Big Boys" and the specialty firms. The king of the corporate seed purveyors is Burpee. They spend big bucks on breeding hybrids, and always have an interesting line-up of new-fangled varieties. Other large seed houses include Stokes, Park, Ferry-Morse, Gurney's/Field's (same owner), Thompson &

dening. "The only certified organic seed company in the Northeast" is how the folks at High Mowing Organic Seed Farm in Derby Line describe their company. They grow and harvest every seed they sell by hand, unlike almost all the other companies, who buy their seeds from commercial seed farmers. High Mowing has a small but interesting list, including a type of heirloom flint corn that has been in the same Calais, Vermont, family since the mid1800s. They represent the "craftsman" approach to seed saving and selling. The Vermont Bean Seed Company in Fair Haven offers 110 different beans, as well as a line-up of other favorites. If you're looking for such cultivars as Nickel Baby Filet, Dragon Tongue, Black Valentine, Wren's Egg, Rattlesnake or the famous Vermont Cranberry bean, they've got 'em. Other favorites of mine include: Johnny's Selected Seeds of Maine, which wins my award for best all-around supplier. If I was restricted to only one seed catalog, this would be it. Their selection is among the most comprehensive out there, their catalog is packed with useful growing information, and they have an excellent selection of tools and organic aids. Johnny's|hit the big-time this year with their ail-American medal-winning introduction of "Bright Lights" Swiss chard, featuring red, pink, orange, yellow and white stems. Shepherd's Garden Seeds must employ a former English major or frustrated novelist to write their catalog — each paragraph has me believing I should add yet another item to my already swollen list. No color photographs, just lovely line art, and a well-balanced selection of intriguing, carefully chosen American, European and Oriental seeds. Pinetree Garden Seeds is perfect for experimenters, or those with teeny-tiny gardens, since their packets contain small but very adequate quantities, and are priced at just 50 to 70 cents each. This makes trying a new variety fairly painless. For an interesting twist, Pinetree also categorizes some of their seeds according to ethnic origins. Another must-have is Fedco. This company is a cooperative whose consumers own 60 percent and the workers 40 percent of the business. Their catalog is jam-packed with useful information, and they definitely tell it like it is in the variety descriptions, warts and all. That is, if a variety has negative characteristics (ripens Continued

ou want to buy a house, and you want it bad. How can you tell? Check for the following symptoms: You've had it with cubbyhole bedrooms and microscopic closets and countertops the size of your toaster oven. You're sure you'll do something regrettable if one more fellow tenant parks on your sidewalk. The words "mortgage loan officer" have somehow lost their former terror, and you have a sudden interest in calculating 28 percent of your gross monthly income. You find yourself dreamily strolling the aisles of the local hardware store. You're willing to let total strangers pry into that mysterious arbiter known as your Credit Rating. Finally, you have begun to actually finish those snoozer articles about property taxes. Yep, you've got it bad, you know you do. And it's a good thing you're so inflamed, because, no matter what anyone tells you, buying a house is a big, serious, grown-up deal that is not for the faint of heart

— or pocketbook. Unless, of course, you're the lucky offspring of Mr. or Ms. Tycoon, who buys you a "starter" home with an American Express card and throws in a monthly allowance for good measure. If you are, you lazy, spoiled, repugnantly rich piece of pondscum, this article is not for you. This article is for prospective first-time homebuyers with low to reasonable incomes, a proprietary glint in their eye, and no clue. And keep in mind it's just an overview; you'll still want to carefully read all that fine print that lies ahead. First, let's look at the different options for buying a house in Vermont. Not including inheritance or gifts, this basically refers to different ways to get help paying for your house, and we'll consider three: a land trust program; the Vermont Housing Finance Agency (or other financing programs); and a traditional mortgage loan from a lending institution (the most common approach). In fact, these options overlap, as we shall see. The nonprofit Burlington Community Land Trust (BCLT) has been helping lowincome folks buy homes for 14 years. One of the oldest and largest programs of its kind in the country, it was "an eighties phenomenon," says Homeownership Coordinator Kirby

Dunn, "when housing costs were skyrocketing." BCLT, funded by grants and homeowner lease fees, serves all of Chittenden County, and there are 10 other such land trusts around the state. "The BCLT is here to help

people who cant buy a house any other, way," Dunn explains. Basically, they can do so two ways: using grant funds, a buyer can go out and get a house on the open market (with the assistance of the Vermont Housing

GIMME SHELTER

Conservation Board or a federal home loan administered through a bank); or a buyer can choose an available house that is already in the BCLT "system." At this point, there are 200 properties in the system, with eight to 16 added every year. Either way, when buyers go through the Land Trust, they become members of the BCLT, and the house they purchase remains in the BCLT system; that is, the Land Trust owns the land under the house. "The theory behind common ownership of land," says Dunn, "is that the price increases because of a lack of land. Our goal is to get common control of the land." This means that if and when the homeowner eventually sells that house, its sale price will be controlled by the BCLT, which can then resell the house to another low-income buyer — the house remains permanently affordable. The trade-off for the homeowners is that they can't make much profit on the sale of their home — the plan is clearly not suitable if you want to invest in real estate for financial gain. Where the BCLT helps most is with the financing, first by enabling the buyer obtain a lower interest rate, and second

GIMME SHELTER Continued from page 21 by kicking in a grant that gives the buyer more purchasing dollars — as Dunn puts it, it helps them get "more house." That lower interest rate comes through the VHFA — its mortgage program was designed for first time homebuyers who buy through the Land Trust, and it steps up 1/2 percent per year over four years. Eligibility for a Land Trust home is obviously incomebased; generally, your total household income should be less than $30,000 — another disqualifier for many. But the BCLT can help prospective buyers of any income level through the Homeownership Center of Chittenden County. This Land Trust-VHFA pilot program began just two years ago, with the goal of educating prospective homebuyers in how to buy a house. The Center offers an eighthour workshop, open to anyone, covering financial issues, home inspections, real estate brokering, appraisals, contracts and more. "A lot of people just want the education, because buying a house can be a very scary process," says homeownership specialist Amanda Canavan, who comes to the program with many years of mortgage experience. "After the workshop we can work with people one-on-one, talk about where that person is individually, and help map out a plan." The scariest piece — money — is thoroughly explained, and financing expectations, programs and processes demystified. If the buyer is not a BCLT member, the Homeownership Center lights the path toward other user-friendly players —bankers and real estate agents. One of the former is Susan McDonald, a mortgage loan officer at Vermont National Bank. A bank loan is by far the most common route to buying a house. What does a mortgage lender look for? "You have to have a steady income [for the past three years], some formal assets — that is, a sufficient amount of money appropriate to the loan program you've selected [including a down payment] — a n d a sufficient income for the amount of the housing costs and other debts," McDonald summarizes. Typically lenders suggest that housing costs not exceed 28 percent of your gross monthly income. Canavan adds that homebuyers should plan to spend about 1 percent of the cost of their new home annually for general maintenance and repairs. Many prospective homebuyers look for a home and then seek out the financing,

but McDonald strongly recommends just the opposite. "The people I find the most successful are those that visit a lender one year, or as many months as possible, before a purchase. They are the most prepared and the least surprised," she says. "That's not just a sales pitch, it's good advice."

"The people I

a lender one year, or as many months as possible, before a purchase. They are the least surprised/' McDonald also advises that there are "an array of products" to help with financing, and i L U C M buyers can best become familiar with them by sitting down with a loan officer — ask to have all the plans explained. , ? T h e variations include length of mortgage — the longer the term, the more interest you re going to pay, and this gets paid before the principal — the way interest rate is calculated, and the lending source itself. The mortgage officer will also walk you through the sometimes hellish process of the credit rating. Of course, buying a home isn't solely about how it's paid for. The Homeownership Center's workshops help buyers figure out what they want in a home, how to look at and evaluate them. That's where housing inspectors come in. An inspector typically goes with the prospective buyer to a house and, with them in tow, checks everything from top to bottom. "I have a routine," says Burlington housing inspector Greg J e f e s . "I start on doors, siding, windows, steps, decks, stoops, etc., and look for any obvious problems. Then roofing and chimney, water systems...I spend the majority of time indoors in the basement, looking at the structure, then heating, plumbing and electrical systems. Then we go through the house room by room, and in the attic, check ventilation and structure." Jeffers explains that his job

includes not only evaluating the soundness of a house and providing a written report, but educating prospective buyers. The most naive housing area for homebuyers? "Heating and electrical systems," Jeffers says. "Plumbing or roofing can be expensive and a nuisance, but heating and electrical are safety issues." The average price for inspection services is around $200; condos might be as little as $125. While the Homeownership Center educates prospective homebuyers of any income level, those who do not qualify for a Land Trust house are likely to go to a real estate agency — in fact, thats the most common course of action for homebuying, first-timers or otherwise. "The advantage of working with a real estate agent," says the Center s Canavan, "is they have access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and a broad range of services." When you enter into an exclusive relationship with aji agent to work on your behalf, that's called a buyer-broker agreement, explains Joan Hollister, a partner at Smith Bell Real Estate. "It's impor5 tant for people to know they ; can be represented by a person in real estate.. .that's in a j sense having a coach through the whole process." It's also important to know that real estate agents, like all agents, get a commission on their sales, and that adds to the sale price of the house. You can bypass the "coaching" and other advantages of a representative and save money, although even if you go directly to the seller on your own, that person may be represented by a seller-broker. If both sides are working with an agent, the agents split the commission. Hollister, in the business since 1976, believes the most important ingredient in a buyer-agent relationship is rapport. "You need to have confidence in and a real respect for your agent," she says. "The size of the agency isn't important — we all have access to all the listings." The MLS is now computerized, Hollister adds, making the process of looking for a home even easier. "Everything is in the system; it's the best way to stay up-to-theminute," she says. She notes that "Right now, it's a true buyers' market; homes seem to be moving very quickly." So there you have it: a crash course in how to buy a home — or where to get the help you need, anyway; And if you end up with another tiny bedroom, at least it'll be your tiny bedroom. <2)

F l i p

Brown

t's spring, and all around us the environment is changing: shrinking snow, rushing rivers, emerging wildflowers. For Bryan Pfeiffer, though, birds are the essence of spring. A journalist from Moretown, he brings two decades of infectious enthusiasm to the sport of birdwatching. To his trained eyes and ears, Vermont explodes with the sights and sounds of migrating birds, heading northward after a winter in the tropics. Late April and early May are peak times for these feathered travelers, and Pfeiffer believes that if more people knew about the beauty and variety out there, they too would be wandering the woods with binoculars. Pfeiffer's bird-brained activities include more than just watching: He hosts a radio show featuring birds with Anson Tebbitts on WDEV weekend mornings — the program gets a "ton of mail," he reports — and writes a regular birding column for the Rutland Herald and Times-Argus. His latest venture is leading specific bird-watching trips. Would you know the difference between a hudsonian godwit and a marbled godwit? For most of us, an unusual bird sighting triggers a scramble through the pages of a guide book, if we even know where to begin. Having a real live human guide means more time is spent enjoying the experience and less time wondering, "what was that?" This March, Pfeiffer took a group out to the Champlain Valley for a "Bald Eagle Watch." I've seen eagles in Alaska, Oregon and Minnesota, but after eight years living on the lake and spending countless hours sailing, canoeing and hiking around Lake Champlain, I have never seen one in Vermont. On one single Saturday, Pfeiffer and his group saw eight. This year, he'll be hosting "Warbler Weekends" in Vermont and Massachusetts, "Ocean Birds" and "Coastal Wading Birds" on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, and a "Snow Goose Spectacle" in Addison County this fall. His most popular program is the "Spring Birds for Beginners," on weekends in May and June at Berlin Pond. In addition to his massive ornithological knowledge, Pfeiffer has a sense of humor as colorful and interesting as his quarry. Far from the dry

WHERE THE

Birdwatching is better when you know where to go professor, he's more like the class clown who knows how to make his science report compelling. One of his bird

One dramatic encounter with a bird like the sight of an osprey lifting from the water with a stillwriggling fish in its grasp - can be enough to convert the casual into the committed.

jokes is that Vermont Senator Pat Leahy got some federal grant money to study why migrating geese always have one arm of the "V" longer than the other. The answer, after considerable research: There are more geese on that side. Some people are content with occasional looking, but for the serious birdwatcher a sort of obsession takes hold. This is called a "Life List," a method of keeping track of each and every bird that has been positively identified. The point is to keep the list growing, and to progress from the easily seen and identified species to the rare and difficult. Pfeiffer says that just one dramatic encounter with a bird — like the sight of an osprey lifting from the water with a still-wriggling fish in its grasp — can be enough to convert the casual into the committed. Pfeiffer's own Life List — in North America only — is currently at an impressive 603 birds. About bird #600, he relates, "I drove all night across Route 302 to Portland, Maine, through a snowstorm to see an Ivory Gull, a rare northern gull which occasionally shows up in our neck of the woods." Local bird-lovers can also connect with their local chapter of Audubon and Vermont Institute of Natural Science in order to learn more about birds, Pfeiffer suggests. The latter runs a raptor recovery program that allows you to see injured birds of prey upclose.

SEVEN DAYS

The inside word on rare bird sightings these days comes through the instant technology of the Internet. A number of sites (starting with www.audubon.org) can point you in the right direction. Once you physically arrive at the place where the sighting has been reported, Pfeiffer says the best clue to the bird's location is the crowd of birdwatchers with their spotting scopes. One advantage of birdwatching is that it has both solitary and group aspects. Pfeiffer goes for a walk almost every morning, just to hear the special song of a bird like the ruby-crowned kinglet — which he describes as "a pale greenish bird that is just a little bundle of energy singing its heart out." He also enjoys the enthusiasm of the shared adventure, such as when a group watches a wood duck waddle into sight. Some birds are quite dramatic. The intensity of color, like the brilliance of a scarlet tanager, or the sun shining off the deep blue of an indigo bunting, can create an unforgettable moment. The ethereal, flute-like songs of a thrush, floating through the trees on a misty morning, can transport one's consciousness. And the raptors, with their dramatic wingspan and talons, soar r with a grace and power that has for centuries caused humans to pause and watch in awe. According to Pfeiffer, it is primarily the male songbirds that sing — to mark their territories and attract mates. Hearing the song is often the first indication that a bird is around, and, while birdwatching implies it's a visual sport, the audio component can be equally rewarding. Recordings of bird songs can help novices learn to identify them in the comfort of the living room. But when you're ready to go out, pick a favorite spot — or check out Pfeiffer's list of "A Few Birding Hot Spots" in the Spring issue of Vermont Life — grab a guidebook and some binoculars, and see what you can find. "We're just waiting for the woods to come alive this time of year," says Pfeiffer, "and when these songbirds migrate through Vermont, it's the avian equivalent of the Northern Lights." * Sure beats thinking there isn't much to do outdoors in May. ® Bryan Pfeiffer is an occasional contributor to Seven Days.

HOLLOW

By M a r i a l i s a

Calta

s a food writer living in Vermont, it maybe professional suicide to admit that I avoid eating at inns. Their dining rooms are usually the home of the dreaded "inn menu," an unimaginative offering of dishes that always includes salmon (usually with orange-butter), duck in something horribly sweet (Chambord sauce, anyone?) and the ever-present medallions de boeuf. What's more, inn dining rooms tend to be stuffy and way too quiet — the only noise being classical Muzak, the clink of glasses and the low hum of well-coifed guests discussing their stock portfolios. So it was with some trepidation that I set out for the Cafe in Middlebury's Swift House Inn. And having dined there, I've found it can be delicious to be proven wrong. The place itself is everything your picture-postcard Vermont inn is supposed to be: an elegant, white clapboard mansion with sloping lawns and a renovated carriage house. The dining room is tastefully appointed, with lots of dark wood, flowered wallpaper and wonderful old chandeliers hung with long, thin prisms. My friend Susan and I were seated at a small table on a glassed-in porch overlooking some of those sloping lawns. We noted with pleasure the gorgeous handblown, deeppurple glass plates at our places. A plate of undistinguished rolls and two minuscule pieces of bruschetta — produced with a flourish as a "complimentary appetizer" — made for an inauspicious beginning. But the moment we opened the embossed leather menu holders, it became clear that we had nothing to

dread. Chef David Chabots early spring menu, which is in place until June, is a tempting offering of nine appetizers and 15 entrees — an ambitious undertaking for a dining room that, on a busy night, serves 60. Appetizers, which ranged in price from $3.50 for a soup or salad to about $8, included a grilled vegetable plate, grilled, herbed flatbread brushed with white truffle oil, and a Vermont cheese plate. Susan and I were very happy with crabcakes in a spicy remoulade

Middlebur

and a three-cheese tart with sun-dried tomatoes and roasted leeks. (I feared it would taste like soggy quiche. It didn't)! When it comes to entrees, the Swift House offers two menus, one a wallet-friendly "cafe" menu and the other a "full dinner" menu, in which the entree is accompanied by a salad and seasonal vegetables. The full dinner menu (priced from $17 to $22) included locally farmed quail, chicken and beef, and a rack of lamb in a mustard seed crust. Fish dishes included roasted salmon (no orange butter!) and a mahimahi with lemongrass and ginger. Some of the entrees, such as the lamb and quail, were also available in diner-friendly half-portions. We were tempted by the "Vermont Game Sampler," a plate of braised rabbit, grilled quail and pan-seared venison, and also by the wild mushroom and barley risotto cakes. But we ordered off the cafe menu instead. I felt well-fed indeed with a venison stew in a peppery Zinfandel sauce, and liked even more Susan's order of braised rabbit served with yummy, eggy papparadelle from Putney Pasta. We could also have chosen a Caesar salad with rabbit confit, a grilled vegetable and polenta Napoleon, a dish of mussels and pasta, a mushroom risotto, or an "oven fried" chicken made with cornmeal, bourbon

and molasses; It's noteworthy that a vegetarian could be quite happy at the Swift House, too. There were three interesting meatless entrees on the menu, along with a note indicating that "all special or vegetarian requests will be honored whenever possible." Susan, a French-trained cook and food editor, took care of the wine. She picked a $27 bottle of Chateau de Chamirey Burgundy from an ample selection of domestic and imported varieties. The service was well-paced but, regrettably, ditzy. I don't like to be mean, but a waitress who introduces a Cotes du Rhone as a "Cort^z du Rhone," who relentlessly queries diners on their wellbeing, and who arrives at the table with two frothy coffee drinks in lieu of espresso and then says, "Well, what are these called?" is in need of some additional training. The Swift House is pricey by Vermont standards — the bill for the two of us, including wine afiid a 15-percent tip, was nearly $100. For this the service should be topshelf. After dinner, we introduced ourselves to Melissa Bridges, the restaurant manager, a '93 graduate of the New England Culinary Institute and an alum of the kitchens at the Inn at Shelburne Farms. Bridges graciously gave us a tour of some of the unoccupied guest rooms, which have great, wide, wooden doors and old metal doorknockers crafted into unusual faces and figures. Rooms range in price from $90 to $185, including breakfast. Both Bridges and Chef Chabot joined the inn's staff last year, bringing with them a commitment to local agriculture. The restaurant is part of the Vermont Fresh Network, which links chefs and producers, and the list of locally produced foods used in the kitchen is vast. The 37-year-old Chabot, who is not formally trained but has been cooking in New England restaurants since he was 14, plans three or four menu changes through the summer, and anticipates a "heavy basil-tomato" offering in August. "I love food," said Chabot. And it shows. So, I was wrong about inns. And I don't mind a bit that I had to eat my words. ®

t's getting harder and harder to build single-family homes that working-class Vermonters can afford, due in large part to cuts in federal housing programs. And making low-cost homes aesthetically appealing has proven to be an even greater challenge, as demonstrated by the many uninspired or downright ugly examples of such housing in the Burlington area. "With a lot of affordable housing," observes local architect Marcel Beaudin, "design is an afterthought, if that. Most of these homes end up being plain little boxes." To hold down costs, some sponsoring groups don't even retain a professional architect, instead assembling units by means of the simplest — and cheapest — plans available. "These organizations feel they can't afford to retain an architect," Beaudin says, "but my own view is they can't afford not to. T h e difference can be extraordinary." But even when an architect is involved, the challenge of building a handsome home for under $100,000 remains formidable. "It's really hard to do it sometimes," says Michael Wisniewski, a partner in a Burlington firm that has

designed several affordable housing developments. The costs of land, materials and labor often threaten to push a project beyond its budget. "Probably more effort is needed to design a home for $100,000 than one for $500,000," adds Beaudin, whose own projects include the Burlington C o m m u n i t y Boathouse. "The public doesn't realize how difficult it is to make something simple look good." To encourage creative responses to these constraints, the Vermont chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) recently sponsored its first-ever statewide competition to design a prototype affordable home. Drawings submitted by the 12 entrants were displayed in Burlington's City Hall in early March. A jury of specialists chose three winners: Neil Husher of Vermont Architects Collaborative in Randolph; Robert Swinburne of Brattleboro; and Edward Wolfstein of Burlington. Each competitor was required to design a two-story home of no more than 1200 square feet that could be built at a cost of between $50 and $75 per square foot. T h e interior was to include three bedrooms, and, as a reflection of 1990s living and working patterns, one of them had to be convertible into a home office. T h e home's exterior was supposed to blend with the style of an urban Vermont neighborhood such as the Old N o r t h End.

Wolfstein, a 39-year-old Montreal native, designed an open ground-floor interior that relied on columns rather than walls to support the structure. "It's meant to suit a contemporary family that spends as much time in the kitchen as in the living room," Wolfstein explains. "I didn't want the old-fashioned look of a closedoff kitchen where someone works in isolation." A front porch helps insure that Wolfstein's home relates to the street, while the gable end and traditional clapboard exterior would enable it to fit comfortably in a typical Vermont neighborhood. The roof is to be made of metal, despite the added expense, because that material has "three times the lifespan of a shingle roof," Wolfstein says, noting that "true affordability has to be viewed as a long-term and sustainable blueprint." The home also features an enclosed vestibule that could serve as a mudroom. Upstairs, the convertible office has been situated as a buffer between the two bedrooms. Wolfstein estimates that his home could be built for around $65,000, not including the cost of the site. While not a stunning piece of architecture, the model is certainly superior to one of the "plain little boxes" that Beaudin bemoans. Wolfstein's model succeeds so well, says Beaudin, who also entered the AIA competition, because "it looks like it belongs" in an older neighborhood. Wisniewski agrees that architects must strive to make affordable housing fit comfortably in a specific context. "We aim for that with all our projects," says the partner in Duncan-Wisniewski Architecture. In some cases, however, the results aren't entirely satisfactory, Wisniewski admits, citing the

Hardly a day goes by in which a supermarket clerk, gas station attendant or total stranger does not remark that they wish they could be in my shoes. "You've got the greatest job in the world — you get paid to go to the movies!" they say. I have to laugh, because I know too well the job involves so many weekends like the one just past, weekends when I too wish they could go in my place. Imagine you're a sentient being and the nature of your profession requires that you actually attend a screening of either Tarzan and the Lost City or The Big Hit. The supermarket clerk and the guy at the gas station are free to stay home or to see a film that's been out for weeks. I have no choice. I have to see something and it's got to be new. "Coke?" asks the kid at the candy counter. "Bourbon," I answer, "and supersize it." I figure, how bad can The Big Hit be if Mark Boogie Nights

Wahlberg signed on? Very, very bad, it turns out. The third or fourth film in the last year or two about a seemingly sweet guy who turns out to be a professional killer, this attempted comedy from Hong Kong director Kirk Wong contributes little that's at all fresh to the genre. Lou Diamond Phillips, Bokeem Woodbine and Antonio Sabato Jr. all give high-strung, over-the-top performances and the whole kidnapping-backfires-on-the-badguys shtick is beyond tired. I walked out thinking, well, maybe Tarzan will surprise me. It did. I had no idea a motion picture could be so laughably amateurish and still get released. Talent-void twentysomething Casper Van Dien mumbles his blank-faced way through a corny, comic bookquality story in which the jungle hunk comes to the aid of a tribe whose ancestral treasure is targeted by the usual greedy white outsiders. Drearily directed, moronically acted and written — by apes, I suspect — Tarzan and the Lost City makes Bo Derek's Tarzan and the Ape Man look like a cinematic milestone. On the way home I was deep in thought. How can it be, I pondered, that Jim Cameron can recreate an entire ocean liner with special effects, but the cretins behind the latest Tarzan movie still think a guy in a monkey suit is a good look? Can one get a film degree through a home-correspondence course? This might explain a few of the movies I've seen recently. And, most important of all: If you see me cleaning up in Aisle 3, don't blow my cover. I'm trading places with the guy at the grocery store next time we have one of these weekends.

While sanctuaries for souls, these gardens are also magical places full of benevolent spirits, eternal fruits and wonders behind each tree and shrub. A jug of wine, a loaf of bread and "thou" are generally present as well. But garden whimsies are not limited to Omar Khayyam. In northern climes, every patch of green is a relative paradise during the few precious months of warm weather.

clawfeet that wrap around trees and posts; not-too-scary grotesques such as "Jonah;" and diminutive tabernacles such as "Nut Tower" and "Temple." These last two are rich with organic details such as fruits, nuts and leaves, and are sculpturally stacked to provide viewers with a balanced, vegetarian visual feast. Fry's big-toed clawfeet and ever-watchful grotesques are reminiscent of neo-Gothic work, but the images are playful rather than patronizing or frightening. Such small pieces once made Fry worry about becoming "the Martha Stewart of sculpture," she says. But finally — and thankfully — she decided it was alright for an artist to have a little fun. As the heavy objets d'art began to populate her own yard, Fry wondered if other homeowners might not have an interest in this sort of work as well. Homeowners, that is, who eschew plastic, gnomes and Bambi for something more akin to benevolent spirits. Anyone is welcome to come and look — even apartmentdwellers — at Fry's statuary corral, where the lawn art is definitely art. (7)

Monica Lewinsky doesn't live at this address, though we re deeply sympathetic all of a sudden to Ms, Lewinsky's plight. The story as it broke around the country last week was no surprise to us. We had known for some time that my sister Barbaras ex-husband, Stephen H. Fagan, who in 1979, after their divorce in Massachusetts, had abducted their two small daughters and vanished without trace, had finally been located and was about to be arrested on kidnapping charges. Over the years, weVe had plenty of time to adjust ourselves, to think and to wait. My sister, in particular.

Florida Gold Coast high society, where he hobnobbed with Trumps, served on the board of the Palm Beach Opera and dazzled a lot of ladies, including two subsequent wives, with tales of his adventures and utterly bogus accomplishments. We're as amazed as anybody by the dimensions of Mr. Fagan's imposture, but grimmer than most when we see his face on the news. The harm he has done my sister and my family can't be calculated or redressed in a court of law. It's a debt that can t be repaid. For what it's worth, we think the press — and the FBI and the IRS — ought to be investigating where Fagan gets his money; how he's been walking around since 1979 with multiple drivers' licenses and passports; how he's managed to use three different

Social Security numbers in the last 18 years — none of them his — without reporting income on any of them. (This is a man, we now find out, who used to arrive at my nieces' swim-meets in a $250,000 Ferrari.) Instead, reporters have been grilling us non-stop about my sisters character and her fitness as a mother. After their divorce, Fagan had charged her with a number of parental crimes, among them alcoholism and neglect, in an effort to win custody of the girls. Those charges were investigated at the time and dismissed by both the courts and the Massachusetts state welfare authorities, but you have to dig deep into the back pages of most newspapers to find this out, and you won't hear it acknowledged at all on television. The press has cast this story as a tale of dueling parents, one purportedly "devoted" and the other purportedly "unfit," and invited its collective readership, or viewership, to "be the judge." Already there are little boxes on newspaper Web sites asking, "Should Stephen Fagan have been charged with kidnapping?

Reporters have been interviewing men in bars and women in beauty salons, asking them to pass judgment on people about whom they know exactly nothing. "Legal experts" have been hashing out the case on C N N and MS-NBC, based only on their reading of the headlines, while every reporter who calls — and they're calling all day, every day — is carefiil to apologize for "intruding." ^ Meanwhile, Fagan's attorneys are claiming that he had to disappear, cover his tracks, change his name and invent a completely new identity for himself in order to "protect" his daughters and "keep them safe" from their mother.

I've had the overwhelming impression in the last days of a story that's already been written and only needed names, real or false, to fill it. As a writer and journalist, and understanding the inherent fascination of this case, I'm not here to deliver an angry screed against the media. I know — every writer knows — that in the act of writing anything the story is inevitably shaped to the writers own ends. This holds for fiction and non-fiction alike, and it especially holds in this age of instant reporting and 'round-the-clock news, where the stated goal is "objectivity" and the issues are decided at the first sound of the bell. It's either/or, black or white, "Yes or No," and it puts everyone involved in a false position, having to "confirm" or "deny" or merely "comment" on someone else's script. The terms of

As her brother, I may be expected to see it this way. As a writer, I'm aware that there are "other sides" to the story. I'm aware that this is a story, and that suddenly, after longyears of waiting, it's left our private circle and landed on the shoulders of two young women who, lik;e their mother, will have to carry it for the rest of their lives.

I have terrible PMS: / get bloated and moody and wish the whole thing would just go away. Are there any"alternative medicines that can help? Premenstrual syndrome has plagued women for centuries, and for centuries treatments have been available. In our particular culture, we go the symptomatic route: cure the bloating with a diuretic, mask the pain with the painkiller, and hide those homicidal tendencies by not leayingthe house. Qr, we go the extreme route: Earlier in this century, in one of those little-reported medical travesties, many women were given eiectro-shock treatments for what was, essentially, PMS. •According to Margery Keasler Dekeersgieter, an herbologist and licensed acupuncturist, Chinese medicine looks at the cause of PMS and treats it accordingly, by viewing the condition in terms of what channels of qi are blocked. Qi is the life energy that runs through our bodies along meridians, or pathways, which connect the various organs and other parts of the body. It's important to remember that PMS is a syndrome; that is, its a constellation of problems, not a disease in itself. Some women dont get it at all, and many women find that over the course of their lives, from puberty to menopause, their periods and corresponding symtoms may change. In your early twenties, for example, you might find the premenstrual bloating unliveable; in your thirties, it might be a tendency toward clumsiness that drives you around the bend. Other signs of PMS include weepiness, moodiness, breast tenderness, and a general desire to craw! into bed and sta; there for the duration. etiological factor in determining who gets P? and when they get it. "You may notice that if you have a lot of emotional stress a couple of weeks before your period, you have a tougher period that month," she notes. Acupuncture can help by getting the blocked qi moving again. One of the primary causes of PMS symptoms is blocked liver qi, and to unblock this Dekeersgieter uses six or seven points, or 14 bilaterally, delicately inserting the hair-thin needles into the back and foot. When the channels get blocked due to stresses, the goal is to have the qi moving again. Also, "where there's blockage, there's pain," she says. Before treating someone for PMS, Dekeersgieter takes a history and then examines the patient's tongue and takes pulses. For PMS, she recommends a series of weekly treatments for eight to 12 weeks. These treatments are not palliative; that is, they can be given weekly, throughout the menstrual cycle, because die goal is not to cure the symptoms of the PMS, but to rectify the cause. In addition to using acupuncture, Dekeersgieter, who has studied in China, also uses Chinese herbs that work with the organ networks of the body to nourish the blood and keep it moving, and to relax the patient. These herbs are carefully formulated to balance one another, so that a cooling herb, for soothing, will be balanced by a warming herb, to encourage flow.
