NEXT WEEK'S QUESTION

Predict the next celebrity scandal of

2002.

OPPOSE AGRIBUSINESS The pending decision on the expansion of Vermont Egg Farms [Left Field, March 27] should be of concern to all Vermonters. The burden of this weighty decision falls squarely on the shoulders of our Commissioner of Agriculture, Leon Graves. VEF is the first operation of this kind to locate in Vermont — a large corporate farm — thus it has set a precedent. The outcome of Graves' decision will signal to outside corporate agribusiness whether or not we will tolerate large animal feedlots in our beautiful hills and valleys. Graves' answer to this should be a resounding "no." The Commissioner has stated he does not take this decision lightly and is losing sleep over it. But what are the benefits to be weighed against the enormous losses? VEF contributes nothing to the local community or to the Vermont economy. [It is] merely a figure on a spreadsheet which adds $ 10 million a year to Vermont's gross agricultural product. Only a few parttime unskilled jobs are created. All the profits leave the state. The truth is that large factory farms hurt local economies and put small farms out of business by flooding the market with cheap commodities. Numerous studies have shown that for every job created by a corporate factory farm, approximately three jobs are displaced. Property values decline, family farms and local businesses * close down, with a consequent decline in public services. In short,

the negative impacts of factory farms amount to a huge loss in quality of life. Factory farms do not represent good economic or agricultural policy for Vermont. VEF's permit application should be turned down. — Jason Ford Burlington PROM PROSTITUTION We are writing in response to an advertisement for Party 7K that frequently runs in Seven Days. We think it's great that young women are being offered such opportunities for employment! Through this escort service, we can make money, utilize our bodies and become exploited at the same time. The feminist movement has passed its prime and, in the postfeminist era, we believe it is time for more women to liberate themselves from the notion of equality. We acknowledge and accept our subordinate position in society and are willing to use our bodies to maximize our possibilities in this man's world. You have successfully provided your target age group with excellent exposure to an array of opportunities available for a young girl working as an escort. Why expand our intellect when we have the opportunity to stay in a "plush" New York City hotel, make $4K, and do something all women love — working as a subordinate and exploited escort? Stop sugarcoating this ad. Let's call it what it is — a prostitution ring. Please take responsibility for this magazine

MARIJUANA MISTAKES You must have been on a really tight deadline reporting on May 4's Million Marijuana March [Scene@, May 8], and not read what you wrote. Former Grassroots Party chair Denny Lane defected T O the Libertarian Party, not FROM it. And to light a fire under Dick Sears would be to SEAR Sears. Reading the chant of "Seer Sears, seer Sears" confused the hell out of me! But thank you for reporting on the event, unlike SOME local papers.

NOT-SO-FUNNY "VALENTINE" While I agree with Robert Isenberg's apt review of "Shirley Valentine" at Lost Nation Theater [April 24]... particularly on Kathleen Keenan's excellent performance, he makes two factual errors which I felt compelled to write in about. One is relatively subtle: Isenberg refers to Keenan's mastering a cockney accent, but Shirley Valentine has lived her life in industrial Liverpool, not in cosmopolitan London. This would only mean something to one who knows a little about England, but the setting and Valentine's provincial background contribute a great deal to her world view and sense of isolation. The other error is much more significant: Isenberg twice refers to Valentine's "young son" and mentions his "recently ruining his school's passion play." In fact, both of Valentine's children are grown up and living away from home — the passion play incident is told as a tale of long ago ("when he was five..."), and she now has pretty much nothing to do aside from attending to her husband. Valentine's character would probably not have considered a 2-week trip to Greece if her son was still a child, and she certainly would not have even toyed with the idea of remaining in Greece. As Isenberg suggests, the audience is rooting for Valentine wholeheartedly, and this is easy to do when the only person

Truth Be Told

Former Reagan Attorney General Ed Meese led what was billed as a "truth squad" to Vermont Monday to condemn U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy as an "obstructionist," a "hijacker of the Constitution" and a "religious bigot." Meese came to Vermont — his first visit, he told us — to put the wood to St. Patrick for not caving in to President George W. Bush's increasingly strident effort to get his right-wing judicial nominees through Leahy's Judiciary Committee. Meese was joined by Ed Conner, head of a radical rightwing organization with the innocuous name the "Family Research Council," and a black lawyer, Darlene Kennedy, who's been on billionaire evangelist Pat Robertson's payroll for the last • four years. "Sen. Leahy is unfortunately compiling the worst record of any chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the history of our country," charged Meese. "In the past two years there's been a marked change in the way the Judiciary Committee has operated, and that, of course, has been under his leadership." Sorry, Eddie. St. Patrick's only been chairman for 11 months. And the reason there are so many vacancies on the federal bench is that the Republicans stonewalled President Clinton on judgeships for the last six years of his administration. But Monday's attack on St. Pat by the out-ofstaters had a very strange flavor. That's because Meese and crew were shepherded around by Rev. Craig Bensen, proud organizer of the anti-gayrights "Take It To the People" group that bitterly fought against civil unions two years ago. In fact, several prominent gay-bashers from the ol' "God Hates Fags" days were in the audience at the Sheraton Monday. The gay-bashing connection became more evident when we visited the Family Research Council's Web site — www.frc.org. The top item Monday was a condemnation of the American Society of Pediatrics for supporting adoption by gay parents, * something that's been underway in Vermont for years without any ill effects. A little research on Ms. Kennedy revealed she's an outspoken opponent of laws that ban discrimination based on race, creed, gender or sexual orientation. Folks, this crew was brought to us by the radical Christian Right — our homegrown Taliban. Conner told reporters that "Increasing concerns have been raised about potential religious bigotry on the part of Sen. Leahy. It seems that people of faith need not apply and if they do they're not going to get a hearing before this senator. That's one of the worst • » forms of bigotry that a senator could engage in. Ed Conner must be in la-la land if he thinks coming to Vermont and calling St. Patrick a religious bigot is going to help his cause. Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph. The Meese "truth squad" had planned to stage their media circus in front of Leahy's Burlington office in the a.m. and in front of the Vermont Supreme Court in the p.m. However, it rained all day on their parade and they moved indoors. Ah, yes, the Lord works in mysterious ways.

It worked. Gov. Dean got a nice mention in the national press stories about the Bush speech, stealing a little of the President's thunder. Next, Ho-Ho headed west to address the Wyoming Democratic Party convention. Folks, a candidate who'll go to Wyoming, the "Equality State," is one hell of a serious candidate. Imagine a spot 10 times the size of Vermont with 100,000 fewer citizens, and you've got Wyoming. Now they can say Howard Dean slept there. According to reliable sources, Dr. Dean had a little one-on-one in Colorado with a man who knows all about the trials and travails of running for President. HoHo met with former U.S. Sen. Gary Hart, a recognized expert on national defense policy. (By the way, bet you didn't know that our pal, columnist James Dwinell, the darling scribe of the Vermont right wing, was a key player on the Hart for President team way back when.) On Monday, Gov. Dean was campaigning in Connecticut's 5th Congressional District on behalf of Rep. Jim Maloney. "'Green' Governor Stumps for Maloney" was the headline in the Waterbury RepublicanAmerican. The Record-Journal of Meriden also covered the DeanMaloney show and reporter Mark Peters ended his piece with this interesting little paragraph: "Before arriving in FREYH Connecticut, Dean said he met with former President Bill Clinton in New York City to discuss the governor's possible bid for president." Our sources say Howard and Bill, meeting in our Guv's hometown, discussed "political strategy." Wonder if they touched on the proper way to avoid cute interns? Cool.

BY PETER

DeanWatCh 2004 - Speaking of la-la-land, our favorite presidential hopeful was back in Vermont Tuesday after a five-day swing that took him from Washington, D.C. to Wyoming, with stops in between. In fact, Gov. Howard Dean held two private meetings with legendary political warriors and, no doubt, he will benefit from any free advice offered. Ho-Ho followed up his Thursday night "champion of civil unions" speech to a gay/lesbian audience in D.C. with a Friday press conference on Capitol Hill. Dr. Dean joined Rep. Ben Cardin of Maryland to blast President Bush's new welfare-towork proposal. The press conference, which wasn't on either of Dean's public schedules, was timed to coincide with Bush's speech in Ohio.

Alexandra's Return! — The media surprise of the week popped up at Gov. Dean's weekly press conference at the Statehouse last Thursday. From behind, we didn't recognize the woman with the sophisticated hair-do, but when she turned around, we were floored. Alexandra Marks was a WCAX-TV reporter and news anchor in the late-1980s. Twenty years ago, she shared a dingy, oft-flooded basement office on lower College Street with yours truly. We were staff writers for Burlington's first successful alternative weekly, the late, great Vanguard Press (which folded in 1991). Since leaving Vermont, Alex did a stint as press secretary to former U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Nebraska. She's currently one of the star national writers for the distinguished Christian Science Monitor. Ms. Marks was in Montpeculiar checking up on Gov. Dean's trashing of the President's muchheralded new education plan. That's the one Dean says Vermont won't participate in, even at the cost of millions in lost federal dollars. Alexandra quickly picked up on our Guv's run for the White House. Hey, it's not like she never heard of Howard Dean. In fact, way back when, before turning to journalism, Ms. Marks was a member of Burlington's Citizens Waterfront Group (CWG). A young Burlington doctor, yet to enter the political arena, was a co-founder of the group. The CWG's "radical" agenda called for the creation of a bikepath along Burlington's grungy waterfront. Miracles never cease. Public Records? — The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) does not think the latest traffic studies measuring the potential effectiveness of the proposed Circumferential Highway are public records. Interesting. Brian Dunkiel, a Burlington attorney representing Friends of the Earth, requested copies of the traffic studies under Vermont's access to public records statute on May 3. In a May 10 response, Richard Ranaldo, the project manager, denied Dunkiels request, citing "executive privilege."

purses, Foiled Again Police arrested Nira Kay Nevins for robbing a bank in | Shrewsbury, N e w Jersey, after a teller filled her plastic bag with $5,000, then responded to her request for a ride. Moments later, Nevins was captured at a red light. Authorities said they caught up with her so quickly because the teller had an antitheft device on her steering wheel that took the two of them a long time to unlock.

Weighty Matters Heavier people face a greater risk of death or serious injury in car accidents than lighter people, according to Seattle researchers. T h e study, which looked at more than 26,000 people who had been involved in car crashes, concluded that people weighing between 220 and 260 pounds are almost twoand-a-half times more likely to die in a crash as people weighing less than 132 pounds.

research team, speculated that car interiors might not be suitably designed for heavy people or that obese people might have weight-related health problems that make their recovery from injury more difficult. • After losing 800 pounds over the past 10 years, Jeanette Standard of Pendleton, Oregon, declared that she is grateful to now weigh just 435 pounds. "I have more mobility," the 5-foot2 woman said after surgeons at Oregon Health Sciences University removed 110 pounds of lap that hung down to her shins. "I can go to Wal-Mart and buy clothes off the rack. And I can go out with pride without worrying about people saying, 'Look at that fat person. • T h e Internal Revenue Service ruled that Americans whose doctors certify them as obese are eligible to deduct out-of-pocket costs for certain weight-loss programs as a medical expense. In recognizing obesity as a disease, the IRS cautioned that individuals who are closer to their nor-

• Scientists announced the discovery of an enzyme in muscle that, when activated, can mimic the effects of exercise. R. Sanders Williams, dean of Duke University School of Research, who led the research with colleagues at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, indicated that the finding could one day lead to "exercise in a bottle" pills.

Grand Acquisitors Police in Prince Georges County, Maryland, arrested Derrick A. Cobb, 25, who they said tricked teen-age girls into giving him the socks off their feet. His modus operandi was to approach the girls and tell them he was taking a survey, then ask them their favorite brands of shoes and socks. After somehow persuading the girls to remove their socks, police said he would grab them and flee. • Police who searched the h o m e of Melvin G. Hanks, 54, of Springfield, Illinois, reported finding 93 ponytails and enough loose hair to make 60

more. T h e hair was intended for Locks of Love, a Florida group that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair because of medical reasons. Last year, Hanks began collecting the hair from a Belleville salon by posing as a courier from Locks of Love sent to pick up the donated hair. W h e n he was rude to a salon employee on a recent visit, owner Gerry D a h m called Locks of Love to complain, learned the group had no such courier and notified police.

Better to Curse the Darkness City officials in Syracuse, New York, have asked groups planning candlelight vigils to use flashlights instead. T h e request followed a vigil last September when thousands of lighted candles dripped wax into concrete, covered granite, plugged up water filters and clogged fountains in a newly renovated city square. Public Works Commissioner Jocko Collins said the cleanup cost nearly $2,000.

stolen from an apartment complex in Spring, Texas. Alford, 28, a promising amateur golfer until he lost his arm below the elbow after a car wreck 10 years ago, now takes on able-bodied golfers in charity fund-raising exhibitions. "This is pretty serious," he said, "because its how I make my living." • Two days before he was scheduled to be executed at a state prison in Huntsville, Texas, Rodolfo Hernandez, 52, requested an artificial leg so he could "walk like a man" to the death chamber. "I came in with two legs, I want to go out with two legs," said Hernandez, who lost the leg to diabetes while in prison. Texas prison officials denied the request, explaining that a new leg would cost taxpayers $8000 and wasn't considered a medical necessity.

he guy who appeared at the window of my cab was grinning, eating a hot dog and looking glassyeyed. It was approaching last call — a.k.a. taxi rush hour — and I was idling at a downtown taxi stand. "Hey, man," he said between bites. "You free? H o w much for a ride to Hinesburg?" Out-of-town calls are usually a welcome change. They pay well and you get to see the world. But two things here gave me pause. First, at this time of night there's more money to be had on the short local runs. Second, well, this guy wanted to go to Hinesburg I — the bane of my cabbie exis| tence. I have a long, bizarre history of Hinesburg fares gone haywire. I decided I would take him, but only for the right price. "I'll take you for 30 bucks, paid in advance," I said, without enthusiasm. "Thirty bucks? We paid 22 coming up here." "I understand," I said. "Feel free to look for another cab. I gotta get 30; if it helps, we'll call it tip included." "You got a deal," he said, and with that he stuffed the remaining third of the hot dog into his mouth, brushed his hands on the front of his jeans and climbed into the back of the cab. As we headed up Main Street he h a n d e d me the money, and I asked h i m where in Hinesburg we were going. "I think it's 136 Pond Brook Road," he replied. "I'm up from Boston visiting a buddy. T h e lousy bastard took off on me; I think he hooked up with a woman he met in that Nectar's bar."

I started to get that sinking Hinesburg feeling. " D o you know where Pond Brook Road is?" I asked. "'Cause, I'm telling you, I sure don't. I don't get down there often enough to remember the town road names." "I think it's somewhere near that high school. If you can make it there, it'll be easy." "Okay," I said, the impatience seeping into my tone. "I can get you t o the high school — that's C V U — but, again, I don't have a clue where Pond Brook Road is." "Relax, man," he said with a laugh. H e had that alcoholinfused bonhomie. "Remember the tune, 'Don't Worry, Be Happy?' We'll find the place. It'll be cake." T h e guy was nothing if not optimistic. I squelched any further comment. It's Hinesburg, I thought, and I'm screwed again. At least I have the 30 dollars in my pocket, but this Beantown guy has no idea how easy it is to get lost in the hills and back roads of Vermont. I can kiss the rest of the evening good-bye. I weaved my way over to Route 116, with a small black cloud hovering over my head. Every hackie instinct told me we were never going to find his friend's place, or at best it would waste a ton of time. I drove along smoldering, while my fare sang along to the tunes on the oldies station. Twenty minutes had passed by the time we'd reached the town that begins with the letter " H " — I couldn't even utter its name at that point. I took the left toward C V U . As we approached the school, I slowed down.

H e paused momentarily and I imagined he was recalling Unwritten Rule N u m b e r O n e among single men: Presented 8 with the opportunity to have | sex, every other obligation falls

"Okay, buddy," I said. "Anything look familiar?" " H m m m , let me see." I glanced up at the rear-view and saw him looking left and right. H e appeared aimless, but still happy as a clam. " W h y don't we go straight for a while," he suggested. "Yeah, that's it, let's go that-a-way."

His confidence was underwhelming. I pulled over to the right shoulder, and was about to give him the "I told you so," when out of nowhere a battered

pickup pulled up alongside us. It was the first moving vehicle — no, the first sign of life I'd seen since South Burlington. T h e guy behind the wheel had a droopy Fu Manchu mustache and a sky-blue bandana tied around his forehead. "You gentlemen look lost," the driver said. "Could I help you out, cabbie?" "I hope so," I replied. "Pond Brook Road?" "Yup, you catch Pond Road up over there." H e gestured straight ahead. "You go up a ways until the road curves wicked to the left." "How wicked?" I interjected. T h e man broke out in a broad smile. "Real wicked." We looked at each other with goofy, two-in-the-morning grins. "And then," he continued, "you stay straight, don't bear left. That'll be the Pond Brook Road." "Thanks a bunch," I said, as the pickup took off. What a stroke of luck that was, I thought to myself. "See, I told you so," came from the back. T h e guy was chuckling away. H e leaned forward and patted me on the shoulder. "I told you it'd be cake." "You were right, my friend," I said. "Not exactly 'cake,' but it does look like we're going to find the place." Following the pickup guy's directions, we reached the wicked curve, stayed straight and in a half-mile came upon the mailbox marked " 136." "Thanks for the ride, Bubba," the man said as he stepped out of the cab. "Next time, don't be so pessimistic." For a second, I considered telling him about my Hinesburg hex, the whole sordid history. I thought he might relate — Bostonians being afflicted with the Curse of the Bambino. But some things, I decided, are better left unsaid, particularly when dealing with magic. "You could be right, man," I replied instead, and took off back down the hill. Maybe the curse is over, I dared to think as I watched the "Welcome to Hinesburg" sign recede in my rear-view mirror, ®

teve Wisbaum lends truth to the proverb, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." He gushes about a throwaway commodity ultimately responsible for making our gardens grow bigger and better. A wizard of waste, he suggests, "The magic of this process is taking smelly, raw shit, if you will, and transforming it into something people look at and say, 'Wow!'" To illustrate his point, the 46year-old Charlotte resident reaches into an enormous pile of dark, moist, ever-decaying organic matter that's ready to be used as fertilizer. He holds out a handful of Wisbaum's Farm-Crafted Compost, as if displaying precious jewels. "Last spring, this looked like that" he says, gesturing at a nearby heap of cow dung. These "before" and "after" mounds are located at the University of Vermont's South Burlington farm, one of two ag operations that provide Wisbaum's Champlain Valley Compost Company with a steady supply of ordure. The other source is a multigenerational family farm in Bridport. Like the food chain, it's a symbiotic relationship. "They provide the land and the raw

materials. I provide the composting expertise and the Turner," says Wisbaum, referring to the large contraption required to treat a prodigious amount of animal excrement mixed with sawdust and straw. "The machine breaks down clumps and fluffs it all up. With it, I can turn about 600 cubic yards an hour." Wisbaum has two types of gigs. He does on-site "custom composting'.' for farms that either use it all or sell the surplus themselves. "I can make compost at a fraction of what it would cost to buy and, if they sell some, that pays for my services," he says. Alternately, he sells the surplus himself and gives a percentage back to the originating farm, as is the case at the UVM and Bridport sites. His customers include nurseries, like Gardenside in Shelburne, and dozens of individual cultivators in Chittenden County. On a recent sunny afternoon, Wisbaum drops in on the Stonehedge development on Spear Street, where he has about 15 clients. Two of them greet him enthusiastically. "I got more out of this plot last year than ever before," Helga Whitcomb announces. "I still have vegetables in my freezer. In the past, I used manure but that wasn't as good. I wouldn't have believed it, but the compost cer-

Modern tainly made all the difference." Her neighbor, Janice Smith, nods in agreement. "Those who bought the compost in 2001 did really well, so others ordered it this time around," she says. "This soil is like trying to garden on North Beach — all sand." Wisbaum offers a scientific perspective. "It's missing the organic matter, which acts like a sponge," he explains. "Sand doesn't hold water. With compost, plants thrive because they're not stressed trying to get water and nutrients." As Wisbaum climbs back into his dump truck to make another delivery, he continues the biology lesson. The key to great compost is "microbial life," the miniscule actinomycetes, fungi and bacteria that decompose the manure. "They have been on the planet since the beginning of time," he says, with an almost messianic light in his blue eyes. "It's so basic. Microbes are my only employees, really. I feel as if I'm harnessing the power of an awesome number of living organisms. I'm taking care of them and they're taking care of me." Wisbaum stops himself with a laugh. "I have a lot of time to think about this. Maybe too much."

ime is not actually something Wisbaum can afford to spare right now. Spring means waking up at 6 a.m. and getting to sleep no sooner than midnight. He makes dawn-todusk deliveries, followed by hours of business paperwork. Come June, the mighty Turner, which looks like a riding mower for giants, roars into action. Wisbaum will get around to almost 30 area farms throughout the area that take advantage of his custom composting. A lithe man with a sun-burnished, angular face, Wisbaum spends the better part of every day laboring in an odiferous saltof-the-earth profession. With middle-class roots — in Niagara Falls, New York — and three older brothers who chose whitecollar careers, how did the baby of the family wind up mired in manure? Via the Middle East. Wisbaum lived on an agricultural kibbutz in Israel for six months in 1974 and, four years later, enrolled at Sonoma State University in California as an environmental studies major. "That's where I got the compost bug," he recalls. "At the school's Ecological Food Production Garden, I saw compost being made, although I didn't know what it was at first. My parents

never even had a vegetable garden. I intended to study solar energy, but was much more attracted to biology than engineering." Wisbaum became the gardens assistant manager. After graduation, he worked as an environmental consultant in the hazardous and solid waste management industry for 12 years. But he always dreamed of returning to compost. In the San Francisco Bay area, he married Suzanne Lourie, a clinical social worker. They wanted to have children and live closer to their families, both based in upstate New York. So, in 1994, the-couple moved to Vermont. They now inhabit a house insulated with straw bales at Ten Stones, an "intentional community" in Charlotte.

"As far as I know, there are only a handful of people doing what I'm doing in the whole country," he speculates. "My customers like the idea that they're supporting local farms and a small business, helping to keep surplus nutrients from leeching into our waterways, and having success in their gardening efforts." Working both sides of the pile has put him in an ideal brokering position. "Some organic vegetable farmers in Starksboro had no manure. I suggested they talk to a neighbor who usually has a surplus. I haul it, compost it for them, and they'll sell their excess," says Wisbaum, who also mixes and sells his own brand of topsoil. > Since 1997, Wisbaum has had a committed relationship with the Brown Swiss bovines at Shelburne Farms. "He comes here with his Turner," says Sam Dixon, manager of the 250-head dairy operation. "Steve composts about 1500 cubic yards of manure a year. We primarily use it on the fertility program for our hayfields."

part-time job for one year with an on-farm compost demonstration project," he says. "It was incredibly fortuitous." W i t h a loan f r o m a bank's socially-responsible investment fund, he purchased the $34,000 Turner, as well as a trailer to haul it from place to place and a truck. This equipment allowed Wisbaum to start custom composting for local farms — his original goal. W h e n the scheme did not generate enough cash to make a living, he started selling the surplus to backyard gardeners: 50 cubic yards in 1996; 250 yards in 1997; 500 in 1998. Last year, he offloaded about 2000 cubic yards of the brown stuff from the back of his truck. W i s b a u m s got the supplydemand thing down. "Every year, I've sold exacdy what I produce. O n l y once did I have to turn a customer away," he remembers. "I hadn't realized sales would become such a big part of my business, but there's a very large niche in Chittenden County. A lot of gardeners are looking for high-end, weed-free, manurebased compost." Do-it-yourselfers may not know what they are missing. "Compost from vegetables is satisfactory if that's all you have," he suggests, "but with animal manure, it's two to three times higher in nutrients and organic matter." Wisbaums "have compost, will travel" enterprise is unique.

may 1 5 , 2 0 0 2

T h e cows, of course, eat the hay. Their milk is made into Shelburne Farms cheese, which Wisbaum enthusiastically consumes. W h a t goes around, comes around. "There's a significant benefit to composting for us," Dixon explains. "It reduces the volume of manure. It makes for a more even spreading pattern — less chunks. An element in the compost invigorates the biological activity of the soil, which is then more drought resistant. A n d the nutrients become much less volatile." That's good. N o b o d y wants exploding manure. Wisbaum considers his vocation "an art and a science. It's not unlike making wine, cheese or yogurt. Those are also the result of a microbial-based process. They all require an understanding of what bacteria need to thrive. " Even his kids are getting something out of the process. Wisbaums 3-year-old son, Gabriel, often accompanies him on the delivery route. T h e boy enjoys poking a stick into the compost to encourage those friendly microbes to do their thing. Daughter Isabelle, 7, isn't quite as fascinated by her father's occupation. But she and her brother nevertheless do enjoy a storybook that supports dad's philosophy. Its title? Everyone Poops. ®

Wa rf a re I cereal mom pours over • the "healthy 1 1 options

BY R U T H HOROWITZ

y son is addicted to Froot Loops, and I am his enabler. When Sam was little, we scrupulously monitored his diet, restricting his breakfast sugar intake to the single gram in a recommended serving of Cheerios. But as he grew older, Sam began experimenting with the harder stuff he found at friends' homes. Pretty soon, he was wheedling the occasional box of junk cereal into j my shopping cart. Now he's 14, and Froot Loops is a perennial presence in our pantry. I'm not much of a "healthfood person." But you don't have to be a macrobiotic vegan to feel like you should be feeding your kid something better for breakfast than the hyper-sweet, noxiously fragrant, eye-popping morsels of crunchy "multi-grain" that Sam adores. Fortunately, for families like ours, it's a brave new breakfast world. Natural foods retailers like Burlington's City Market and

Healthy Living in South Burlington — and even the cereal aisles of mainstream stores like Price Chopper and Shaw's — are stocked with a dazzling array of healthfood products designed to imitate the kinds of junk cereals that are advertised on kids' T V programs.

The health-food junk cereal market is a relatively new and rapidly growing niche. For some time now, mainstream cereal makers have been gobbling up granola dollars with trail-mix-type products like Meuslix and Basic 4. Though it's taken a while for the health-food industry to fight

organic breakfast foods have boomed, while sales of conventional cereals have gone the other way, elbowed off American tables by other a.m. breakfast choices like bagels and croissants. Industry insiders call the rise in organic junk cereals a sign that the health food

While Froot Loops comes with an enticement for a free Spider-man video game, Fruit-e-o's offers a 100-percen organic T-shirt with a portrait of "Super Cat."

Are these organic alternatives really better for young bodies than Lucky Charms or Cap'n Crunch? Can they possibly pass muster with palates refined enough to discriminate the gastronomic nuances that separate Froot Loops from Trix? And is anyone actually buying these health food varieties? The answer to the last question is yes.

T h e

back, in the last few years, more and more natural foods purveyors have adopted mainstream marketing techniques: like appealing directly to kids with slick — or at least, sYxckish — packaging and gimmicky names like Gorilla Munch and Groovy Grahams. The strategy is working. In recent years, purchases of pre-packed natural and

industry is maturing. But that's not all that's going on. In a society that once simply assumed father — and mother — knew best, we grown-ups are showing ourselves increasingly unwilling to exercise parental authority, and ever more likely to let our offspring call the shots. And set the menu. The day I visited City Market, I wit-

nessed a classic whine-off between a mother and her preschool-aged daughter. The little girl had her mitts on a box of Frosted Flakes. Mom was frantically reading off the sugar contents on box after box of organic cereal, trying to cajole the stubborn child into agreeing to try a health food variety. Kids' health-food junk cereals let us adults appease our temperamental little darlings while assuaging our guilt about filling them up with a lot of unhealthy crap. The only catch is finding a brand Mikey likes.

n the hunt for a health food cereal that might appeal to my son, the obvious starting point was a product that most closely mimicked his beloved Froot Loops. Barbara's Bakery puts out a Froot Loops knock-off called Fruity Punch. New Organic offers Richard Scarry Fruit Os — part of a new line that cashes in on the appeal of the popular children's author who created the endearing Lowly Worm. We tried a third variety: New Morning's Fruit-e-o's. Like Kellogg's Froot

Loops, Fruit-e-o's are little rings that are multi-grain, multi-colored and fruit-flavored. One cup of either Froot Loops or Fruit-e-os provides 120 calories and contains just one gram of fat. Like Froot Loops, the Fruit-e-o's box shows an enlarged photograph of the cereal juxtaposed with a predominantly blue cartoon animal. But that's where the comparison ends. Like most conventional cereals these days, Froot Loops is sprayed with enough nutritional supplements to provide, among other things, 25 percent of your daily recommended intake of Vitamins C, D, B6 and B12. Fruit-e-o's can't match that claim. But with half the sodium and less than one-third the suga., the health food option is probably still better for you than the conventional version of the cereal. That good nutrition doesn't come without a price, though. Fruit-e-o's costs almost twice as much as Froot Loops. The organic cereal's vegetable-colored tones literally pale beside Froot Loops' neon spectrum. And without all that tongue-teasing

sugar and salt, Fruit-e-o's taste lacks punch. "These are not the same," Sam pronounced before he'd even spooned up his First bite. After munching through a quarter bowlful, the highest praise he could muster was, "Actually, these are not horrible." His older sister Sophie was less charitable. "These are disgusting," she corrected him. "Like Froot Loops gone horribly banana." First introduced by New Morning in 1986, Fruit-e-o's claims to be the original health-food version of a conventional children's cereal. Two years ago, when organic foods conglomerate U.S. Mills acquired New Morning, the Fruit-e-o's box got a more contemporary look. The Froot Loops package currently comes emblazoned with an image of Spider-man and the enticement of a free PlayStation game. Not to be outdone, the health food competition's (recycled!) cardboard carton gamely offers — for $ 10 — a 100-percent organic T-shirt with a portrait of "Super Cat," Fruit-e-o's friendly feline mascot.

Organic junk cereal is a natural outgrowth of the baby health food, which, according to market analysts, appeals to new parents because they see their infants little bodies as "clean slates." The challenge for health food purveyors is to retain these consumers as customers once their kids have outgrown whipped squash and mashed bananas. With families of schoolaged kids accounting for the largest sector of the $9 billion breakfast cereal industry, organic junk cereal is one answer to that challenge. Appropriately, Earth's Best — the original jarred organic baby food — is part of a company that also produces a line of health food cereal. The Hain Celestial Group includes Celestial Seasonings tea, Terra Chips and Breadshop Natural Foods, a cereal company based in Santa Cruz, California. We sampled Breadshop's Puffs'n Honey, an imitation Cap'n Crunch that's free of wheat, preservatives and additives. Unfortunately, it's also pretty much free of taste, and feels like a mouthful of continued on page 1 6 a

soggy Styrofoam. Not all organic kids' cereal companies are part of natural foods conglomerates. Some are -. owned by conventional cereal makers. T h e health food brand Kashi is a subsidiary of Kellogg's, and Quaker Oats puts out a natural foods line called Mother's, whose motto is "Every day is Mother's Day." T h e Mother's website features a kid who could easily be Sam's classmate shouting, "Finally, a natural cereal that tastes better than its box!" T h e Mother's variety we tried — Cocoa Bumpers — did taste a lot more chocolaty than cardboard. But the pale brown orbs reminded Sophie of dog food. And Sam was disappointed that they didn't turn his milk as brown as Cocoa Krispies do. The most surprising cereal we sampled was Peanut Butter Puffins, made by Barbara's Bakery — an independent California company. I chose them for their alliterative name, and because eating peanut butter with milk for breakfast struck my entire family as delightfully obscene. In spite of initial reservations, as my research progressed, I found myselffressing fistfuls of these crunchy puffedcorn pillows straight from the box. I just couldn't get enough of their salty hint of peanut butter. hirst thing in the morning.

Gorilla Munch, an innocuous, Kix-like concoction. Gorilla Munch is produced by Nature's Path, a Canadian company that's the fastest-growing -— a n d possibly the most self-righteous — health food Cereal manufacturer on the continent. T h e cereal is part of the "Envirokidz" line introduced two years ago. Other varieties include Koala Crisp, Orangutan-O's, Amazon Frosted Flakes and Peanut Butter Panda Puffs. Though Gorilla Munch tastes almost identical to Kix, the natural foods cereal has three times as much sugar as a brand that doesn't call itself a health food. But the Kix box's claim to be "kid tested, mother-approved" doesn't begin to approach the propaganda in which Nature's Path packages its Envirokidz products. While feeding on their Gorilla Munch, "Evirokidz" and their enviro-parents can read the gospel on the plight of endangered species and the promise of organic farming. They can be reassured that the cereal they're eating is free of gluten, chemicals and preservatives, that it involves no irradiation, and that it's "not genetically engineered." T h e box remains mute, however, about whether or not any nuclear devices were detonated, or human subjects tortured, in the preparation of this morning comestible.

"I got into the restaurant business thinking it was all about food, but it's really about people, the relationships between the customers and the staff," he says, "and I find it infinitely fascinating." Fascinating enough, that is, to keep the courses coming.

he middle of three children, Fuller grew up on a dairy farm in Ludlow, Massachusetts. Although he remembers only the bucolic bliss of that time — including a Polish couple across the road," ;n..•:'.<. who farmed with horses — Fuller says he tends to let go of or simply forget bad times. His first cooking success came out of a Duncan Hines cake mix box. But it wasn't rural romanticism that brought Fuller to Vermont in 1976. A little bit of post-culinary-school travel, including a stint out West, taught him that "you can reinvent yourself elsewhere. I had to leave my hometown to become the person I wanted to be." Fuller moved to Middlebury for a chef job at Mr. Up's Restaurant when he was 29. After six years there, he began looking for a business opportunity of his own, and found Pauline's. W i t h financing from founder-chef Pauline Hershenson, Fuller and his wife bought the Shelburne Road eatery in 1982 and "worked like dogs," he says, not taking a paycheck for the first three years — never mind a vacation. T h e hard work paid off. In 1986, Fuller bought Dejk Vu in Burlington. "We had some success initially there," he says of the beautiful, artisan-crafted Pearl Street establishment. "But the economy slipped, and 1 slipped into divorce." In this same period, Fuller nearly slipped away altogether. While crossing some railroad tracks on a bicycle near his New Haven home, a mishap sent him flying over the handlebars and onto his head — without a helmet. H e has little memory of the accident, the surgery that relieved

a dangerous subdural hemotoma in his brain, or the 10 days in Burlington's medical center. (Fuller's father died of a similar injury as the result of a motorcycle accident when his son was 12.) Instead Fuller focuses on his complete, and near-miraculous, recovery. But the brush with death seems to contribute to his enduring attitude — a combination of the '60s chill-out platitude Be Here N o w and the more pragmatic Latin classic, carpe diem. Perhaps this new embrace of life helped Fuller take some big steps over the following decade. In 1992, he sold Deja Vu to the Thai restaurateurs who reopened it as Parima. Just days after his divorce was final that same year, he met Allison Parker, a nurse practitioner. W h e n the couple married three years later, Fuller moved to her house in Lincoln and adopted nearby Bristol as his new hometown. " T h e only reason I'm at Leunigs is because I went to Africa," Fuller announces. In 1997, he carved out time f r o m . Pauline's so that he and Allison could accompany a Bristol-based cultural group on a month-long trip to Ghana. H e returned to find that everything was running smoothly at the restaurant without him. So when he learned that Leunigs was for sale a short time afterwards, Fuller went for it. "If I'd had my head stuck in a stock pot at Pauline's," he says, "I wouldn't have done that." O t h e r serendipitous opportunities led Fuller to take over the Bristol pizzeria Cubbers in 1998, with ex-employee Drew Smith, and to transform the Shelburne Bake Shop into Gillian's Restaurant two years ago

with partner and chef Michael Weiner. Fuller's latest venture is just across the street from Cubbers. If restaurants are his children, he suggests, The Bobcat is "the first time I've conceived — I have always adopted." Fuller had been involved in the restoration of the downtown Dunshee Block. Fuller and a partner bought the former bank building, and he agreed to create a restaurant — but not before some very creative financing had been worked out. "I talked to a bunch of people and decided I'd need at least 12 to invest $5000 each," Fuller says of the cafe's communalinvestor plan. Without that "vote of confidence," Fuller says, "the idea wasn't worth it." He ended up with twice that many — an indication locals were starved for "a medium-priced restaurant for grown-ups," as he puts it. "People want to see positive things happen in these small towns," he adds. "I thought, 'I'm a restaurateur, I can do this for the community.'" In turn, the investors — who get a deal on dining — make for a loyal, regular and uniquely engaged customer base. Though Fuller is The Bobcat's owner, former Leunig's sous chef Andy Saver handles the cooking, and brewing partners Paul Saylor and Rob Downey will manage the on-site brewing operation — not yet up-and-running in the sixweek-old eatery. Saylor and „ , Downey, partners i n W i n d , - i t Harvest Brewing, also have projects in the works with American Flatbread in Middlebury and Burlington, and a "closed-loop brewing system" in Burlington's Intervale. Typically, though, Fuller picks his partners from his ever-growing pool of employees. "You know each other," he says of the strategy. "You have some basic knowledge of who does what and how they perform, so you can kind of direct them into an area of the business where they will be strong, as opposed to asking someone with no bookkeeping experience to manage the payroll. You have to be smart enough to know what you can't do."

t The Bobcat, diners can at least get the feeling of a pub — minus the smoke — as only a windowpaned wall separates customers' tables from the gleaming brew tanks. A long, century-old hardwood bar from Port Henry, New York, extends down one side of the rectangular room; the rest is filled with a banquette and small-table seating, overseen by framed portraits and stuffed versions of the cafe's namesake. Though the walls are painted golden yellow, the dark wood and 19th-century architectural features give the place an Old World-meets-New England coziness. But there's nothing old, or publike, about the eclectic cuisine, which Saver calls "contemporary American comfort food." And the pleasant buzz of a din-

ner rush one recent evening suggests Bristol is taking to its new restaurant for grown-ups. "Robert really knows what he's doing," applauds Saver. Fuller is surprisingly philosophy-free in his approach to food. Other than a personal penchant for wild, foraged edibles — "leeks are in season right now," he informs — and his Western European culinary training, he offers only: "Food has to be satisfying, to me and to my customers." That's not to say Fluff sandwiches are likely to end up on the menu at Leunig's, but Fuller does pay attention to what people want. This restaurateur favors the European dining experience, with its commitment to fresh foods and ambiance. "My role model is Andre Soltner, a chef at Lutece in Manhattan for 30 years," Fuller says. "He was humble in front of his ingredients. He said, 'How can I possibly improve on a carrot?'" Pretty much everything that

loss experienced by most dieters. He's not the first to observe that "psychologically, food becomes a friend." It wasn't until he was going through his divorce in the early '90s, Fuller confides, that he "learned about fats." He went from eating pounds of cheese to weaning himself of all high-fat foods. He says it took only two weeks to lose the craving. Fuller has maintained a normal weight for years, and credits his wife with introducing him to a more active lifestyle, which includes biking, skiing and kayaking. Fatty foods, such as ice cream — his favorite — are restricted, rare treats. "The biggest problem with dieting is obsessing about it," he says. "All I want to be is normal; I don't have to be perfect." Fuller's personal relationship with food may factor into the mostly healthful menus at his restaurants — though none of them are stingy with fats or flavors. At home he prefers simple pasta and sauteed vegetables,

GRAND ENTREE: Robert Fuller at Leunig's can be done with food has been done, as far as Fuller is c o n cerned, "so a lot of what goes on with food is fashion." That said, che menus are intentionally different at his five restaurants, and he gives his chefs free rein. "I'm growing and have other job descriptions now," he says. In fact, "growing" as a person pretty much sums up Robert Fullers personal mission statement. Ironically, he spent much of his earlier life trying to get physically smaller — in girth. At 6-foot-4, Fuller now weighs in at a reasonable 215 pounds. When he went to culinary school, he was 100 pounds heavier, the stereotypic rotund chef. "I always wanted to be 'normal,'" Fuller says without self-pity, "but it took me a long time to figure out how to eat normally." While still in school, he launched into a most difficult weight-loss program — fasting — and lost about 80 pounds in a year. Ensuing years brought on the "roller coaster" of gain and

grilled fish or chicken "and a good red wine." That diet may be harder to stick to when he takes his wife to Europe this summer, to celebrate Allison's new master's degree and the couple's seventh wedding anniversary. With a happy marriage and five functional "children," Fuller seems the picture of contentment. "I have an embarrassment of riches," he offers. "If you just stop and realize that, everything is so much easier." What could be better? "We have a Peace Corps fantasy," he reveals. "In three years we're supposed to apply . . . and live in a different culture. I'm interested in trying to help people with business stuff and possibly some environmental things. I would always be interested in food, certainly, and how people are preparing the food they have. Maybe I'd help people take their cooking skills and figure out a way to make money at it. I guess that's a restaurant. . ." ®

I believe print is the best advertising tool and Seven Days is the best resource for carrying out our ad campaigns. I usually query new customers as to where they found out about us and Seven Days is often the answer. In fact, many of our customers cut out our Seven Days ads and hang them on the fridge for future reference. Seven Days is a class act, from the salespeople to the graphics folks and everybody in between." — Frank DeAngelis Owner, Close to Home, Shelburne

More devastating to the female members of the church and females everywhere in nations where the church has or seeks control of secular governments, the "" ** male celibate Popes issue Papal Bulls with no input from women, forbidding gay and lesbian sex, birth control, abortions and denying women control over their sexual family life. The Catholic priesthood is fundamentally flawed as it is a world without women who yet govern them absolutely... Yet sexism has not meant no sex for priests, and an understandable desire for intimacy in too many priests too often has gone awry. This flaw can only be mended and the church healed so that it can continue to do the good work it has always done in the creation of a new priesthood and church fully open to women". After all, women are good influences on men.

— Karen Mueller-Harder Cabot ORDAIN W O M E N Peter Kurth [Crank Call, April 24] is right: according to the dictionary, celibacy means a life without marriage or sexual intercourse; chastity, a time without sex. As we are now seeing from the recent child sex abuse scandals of the Roman Catholic Church, many priests are apparently celibate but not necessarily chaste. The implications of the differences are vast. Church fathers in their demands for celibacy have created an all-male priesthood which attracts many men who can do without women, who in their lack of contact with women have litde comprehension of women's lives, but whose sex drives are not quiescent and turn to others, sometimes, as we now see, to children and young people. Powerful men without women also determine the doctrines and policies of the church... Women cannot administer most of the sacraments, nor celebrate mass. A few altar girls now exist, but none can aspire to be priests, as can altar boys.

hoppers at the Price Chopper in South Burlington are just as likely to be wheeling carts filled with boxes of unagi and tai as with Huggies, Spagetti-os and Pepsi. T h e Shelburne Road supermarket features a sushi bar where four Japanese "chefs" prepare such eel and red snapper snacks-to-go. O n e of these men, Koga Toki, is handy with everything from inari to taka maki — for the uninitiated, that's fried bean curd and a combination roll blending bits of shrimp, smoked salmon, cucumber and lettuce. T h e 23-year-old native of Kobe knows his way around mirugai (giant clam), hirame (halibut), saha (mackerel), ika (squid), taka (octopus) and more than a dozen other denizens of the deep. Toki is a lot less familiar with the English language, however. A chat with him was made possible through the translation efforts of Christina Mager, an Essex Junction resident who lived in Japan for a few years. Sushi is elegant eating: silky raw fish or seafood and sticky rice that are seasoned with vinegar, soy sauce and ginger root, bundled with seaweed, and made pungent by a horseradish mustard called wasabi. It's a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth: T h e rolls are often arranged in a decorative manner, sometimes to suggest the natural habitat of marine life. Toki came to Vermont four months ago, riding the cuisine's current wave of popularity in the West. T h e American craze may be recent, but this sophisticated cuisine dates back centuries in the Far East, and Price Chopper's personable young fish-handler boasts a life-long devotion to sushi:

SEVEN DAYS: What made you decide to do this for a living?

SD: What are the differences between sushi in Japan and sushi in the U.S.?

K O G A T O K I : W h e n I was little, I wanted to eat sushi all the time. So, I was always thinking how to make it my job. About seven years ago, I started learning after graduating from high school.

KT: We have more kinds of fish at home. There's less variety here. We have to change sushi to suit what Americans like. In Japan, we only use a tiny bit of wasabi. Here, they ask all the time for more, more, more.

SD: Were there courses you could take? KT: I was an apprentice in four or five different restaurants. I learned the different types of fish and how to find fresh fish in a market.

SD: Are there other sushi habits in this country that seem unusual to you?

KT: I thought it was difficult, but after one year it became easy. Learning to filet was the hardest part.

KT: Yes. T h e Japanese people love natto — a fermented soybean with a very strong taste, but Americans hate it. California Rolls, with avocado, crab and cucumber, are the most popular; it's the bestseller. W e don't have those in Japan, and we don't have sushi sandwiches like they do here.

SD: When and why did you come to the United States?

SD: Is making sushi in a supermarket different from making it in a restaurant?

KT: In 1999. I wanted to experience America. I was wondering, ' H o w is it?' I worked in a Japanese restaurant in Albany and visited New York City on my days off. T h e lifestyle is so fast. T h e skyscrapers are so tall. After six months, I went to Miami because I had friends there.

™ KT: I don't have to filet, so it's easier. There's no kitchen. I just assemble the sushi. ^ - _ ~

SD: Was it a challenge?

SD: Did you make sushi in Florida? KT: Only part-time. I lived there for a year and a half. I met Johnny [So Sun], the sushi manager at this store, through mutual friends in Albany. H e asked if I wanted to work in Vermont.

SD: How do you spend your spare time? KT: I like to watch "Iron C h e f " on TV. I watch cooking shows so I can become a skilled master. And I practice the teppanyaki that they do in Japanese steakhouses. They toss knives in the air.

SD: Do you ever get tired of sushi? KT: Never. My favorite is nigiri — a roll with tuna, rice and seaweed around it.

SD: Have you been able to visit Japan? SD: Do you enjoy living in this state? KT: Yes. I didn't like the hot weather in Miami. I like cold. I like snow. I like m o u n tains. Your earthquake here is not as bad as in Kobe.

KT: I went back a year ago.

SD: Did you eat sushi? KT: Yeah.

Iron t edibles from the Seven Days family labia Moosh 'n' Goosh

COMPILED BY ROBERT ISENBERG

— Ruth Horowitz

e can expect turkey for Thanksgiving and matzo on Passover, but what about those less expected recipes that sneak onto the family dinner table? One bright Sunday morning you're sitting with the fam, eating a heaping platter of flapjacks with maple syrup, and you think, Huh, I guess this is a family tradition. Here at Seven Days, we decided to serve up some of our favorite recipes, from soggy comfort food to rock-hard desserts. Some of them even taste good.

Sort of Vegetarian, Sort of Italian Tofu Thing — Max Owre We aren't a vegetarian family, but we routinely prepare this dish to make us feel healthy. The key to tofu is to make it taste like something else. The trick here is a good, old Italian red sauce. It works well with a full-bodied white wine or a fine Chianti, and should be served with Locatelli Romano, not some crappy Parmesan.

Mama Badger's Pineapple Stuffing — Sarah Badger This special-occasion dish is a real crowdpleaser. Its like eating dessert with dinner.

Sweet Potato Fries — Michelle Brown

Ingredients: 1/2 cup margarine 1 cup sugar 1 lg. can (20 oz.) pineapple, crushed and drained 5 slices white bread, trimmed and cubed 4 eggs

ft:

My mother and sister have been known to call me at work for this recipe. It's simple to make, even easier to serve and the only vegetable my three-year-old will eat. Ingredients: 4 sweet potatoes 1 tablespoon oil seasoning salt basil Parmesan cheese

Cream margarine and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Then stir in pineapple and fold in bread cubes. Turn into a greased 1 1/2-qt. casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

Peel and cut the sweet potatoes, then place them in a bowl. Mix in oil and sprinkle with Parmesan, seasoning salt and basil. Grease a cookie sheet and place in oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until brown.

'-is

Ingredients: 3 big carrots, cubed 2 Portabello mushrooms, cubed 1 package extra firm tofu (1-cm. cubes) 1 can tomato paste 4 diced plum tomatoes 5 cloves chopped garlic 1/4 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon basil 1 teaspoon rosemary 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 cup white cooking wine

This is comfort food for the end of the month. My mother was so proud of her creation that she offered it to Kraft — under a different name. She was always a little miffed that the company didn't take it. Ingredients: 1 box Kraft macaroni and cheese 1 can Chicken of the Sea tuna 1 can Campbell's condensed cream of mushroom soup Prepare macaroni and cheese according to the directions on the box, using the cream of mushroom soup instead of milk. Drain and mush up one can of tuna fish. Gush together tuna and macaroni.

Sometimes my mother tarted up moosh 'n' goosh by layering slices of American cheese over the top and passing it under the broiler. For an exotic Oriental variation, she replaced the macaroni and cheese with rice, threw in a handful of raisins and topped it off with Chow Mein noodles. continued on page 2 8 a

Saute carrots in olive oil. Add mushrooms, then garlic and rosemary. Add cooking wine. Let mixture reduce for 2 minutes, then add tomato paste, tofu, oregano and basil. Lower heat and simmer five minutes. Serve over orzo pasta with Locatelli Romano cheese.

Kim Potter's Pizza — Ethan Covey When I was young, I got sick all the time because I never ate enough. I made a pact with my mother that I would eat as long as she made pizza once a week. The plan worked. But I still don't know who Kim Potter is. Crust ingredients: 1 1/2 cups warm water 1 tablespoon yeast 1/4 cup canola oil 3 1/2 cups flour

Dotsy's Corn Pudding — Molly Stevens This corn pudding is custardy, just a little sweet, and handsdown the most requested recipe in my family's repertoire. My own copy is a little scrap of cardstock written in my grandmother's hand. Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups milk 4 tablespoons butter 12 ears corn, grated 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 3 eggs Salt and pepper Combine milk and butter in a small saucepan. Heat to melt butter. Dump grated corn into a large bowl. Add sugar, cornstarch, salt and pepper, and beat in eggs. Slowly pour in hot milk. Pour into a well-buttered baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees until set, about 1 hour.

Mom's l-Moved-to-EastDetroit-And-l-Want-To-Fit-ln Stuffed Cabbage — Cathy Resmer Gleaned years ago from a Polish babysitter we called Auntie Marge, this dish proved to the family that my mom could cook Polish food — even if she had lived all those years in the South. Ingredients: 1 head cabbage (about 3 lbs.) 2 cans tomato soup Stuffing Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 1 lb. ground pork 1 medium to large onion, finely chopped 2 eggs 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 to 3/4 cup uncooked rice 1 cup milk

and begin folding with rib-side out. Cover with the opposite side and fold under. Place in a large roaster, spread two cans of tomato soup over the cabbage rolls and add two cans of water. Dot with four tablespoons of butter and bake at 350 degrees for two hours, basting once or twice.

Brown Spaghetti — Michael Bradshaw This French-Canadian dish has been handed down for generations. It isn't my family recipe yet, but it will be when my fiancee and I tie the knot in December. That's not the only reason I'm marrying her, though. Ingredients: Center-cut pork roast spaghetti 2 pats butter Salt Pepper Garlic Roll the roast in spices and put pats of butter on top. Cover and cook in Dutch oven until pork is fully cooked (use meat thermometer). Increase heat and brown entire roast until pieces begin to darken and stick to pot, pulling off of roast. Boil water and prepare spaghetti. Drain and set aside. Remove roast from oven and drain all but 4 tablespoons of the excess drippings. Add 2 tablespoons of water and 1 teaspoon salt and pepper and deglaze the pot. Increase heat. When sizzling, add drained spaghetti a little at a time and toss on high heat until brown. Add more drippings or butter, thinning with water as needed. Serve hot with roast on the side.

Cut out core of cabbage and place head in a pot of salted, boiling water. After a few minutes, turn cabbage over. As the leaves wilt, remove them one by one and place on a platter. Cut out the heavy ribs. Cook the rice in salted boiling water for 15 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients, except tomato soup, with cooked rice and mix well. Place two to three tablespoons of rice mixture on a cabbage leaf •drpage 2 8 a

Where There's... continued from page 9a waiters strolling among tables offering slabs of meat, as well as rice, beans, vegetables and various South American side dishes. Chef Kelly Dietrich ran the Kids Culinary Academy of Vermont in the same space for eight years before teaming up with his Brazilian wife Edna to open Vermont's first "rodizio." Prefer "radicchio?" After four years of heading up the kitchen at Leunig's, Dan Rogers is going solo. Uh, make that duo. He and his wife SliSan are launching a familystyle Italian restaurant in the soon-to-be-refurbished Ethan Allen Shopping Center in Burlington's New North End. Opening in mid-June, Cannon's aims to be "a cross between Junior's and Trattoria Delia," according to Rogers.

the French Laundry. Multiplecourse tasting menus are a regular occurrence at the exclusive restaurant run by Chef Thomas Keller. Although the anonymous partners are still looking for financing, they have designs on a 4000-square-foot space that used to be Cherry Street Billiards. Monthly rent is about double that in dollars. That's a lot o f f o i s gras. \ Full yet? There's more. When he cut loose from Starry Night Cafe in Ferrisburgh, chef Michel Maheu was making tracks for the Swift House in Middlebury. The deal fell through, but 37-year-old Maheu found another equally enticing food op at the Main Street Bistro in Vergennes, which he has renamed the Black Sheep Bistro. "I'm going to be priced along the same lines as a Bobcat Cafe," Maheu says "— the

Spread half of sauce on each pizza. Saute onions, green peppers, mushrooms and/or other veggies and sprinkle over sauce. Adding black olives and pepperoni/brown sausage is optional. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.

Springerles — Robert Isenberg As enticing as canned beans and other stark Lutheran treats can be, these nearly inedible German cookies have been passed down through the generations since the Isenbergs left the Rhineland about 400 years ago. Though they have no color or taste to speak of, special steel or ceramic molds are used to imprint images of castles and Edelweiss flowers on them. Ingredients: 6 eggs 2 cups sugar 3/4 teaspoon Hartshorn or baking powder 5 to 6 cups flour Anise seeds (optional) Beat eggs lightly in a bowl. Beat in sugar, first by hand for a halfhour, then with a mixer. Gently mix in baking powder and flour by hand. Once it becomes a stiff dough, place in refrigerator for 2 hrs. Grease 3 cookie trays and sprinkle with anise seeds. Roll out dough 1/2 inch thick. Dust Springerle mold and press into dough. Cut out the images and place on cookie sheets. Leave cookies standing for 24 hrs. The next day, bake at 350 degrees F until white on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Freeze until firm. Wrap well and keep in freezer until 5 minutes before serving. ®

Although he firmly believes in serving farm-fresh ingredients to a suburban clientele that is more "sophisticated" than it used to be, Rogers has no intention of making his menu too snooty: "I'm going to give the people what they want: good value, unpretentious food and timely service." The 68-seat restaurant expects to do a brisk "to-go" business. Andiamo. Staying put is more the point of The Restaurant — an intimate eatery opening this summer across from Burlington City Hall. The no-frills moniker is a reaction to "the daze of everyone trying to outdo themselves with a name," says owner Jack O'Brien, who is also the proprietor of Red Square next door. A sample menu offers everything from "oysters wrapped in pancetta in a balsamic black pepper mignonette" to "magret of duck with julienne ham, grilled peaches, a bene-crusted hominy cake and a bourbon shallot glaze." Not exactly bar food. Describing it as a "small, personalized place... that is different from what most people have done," O'Brien says there will be tables outside, in the wine cellar and in the kitchen. Chef Lenny William also plans to offer four-, sixand eight-course meals. Says O'Brien, "I don't think anyone else in Burlington is doing that." Or are they? Rumor has it that yet another group of local restaurateurs is scouting locations in Burlington for a highend California-style eating establishment along the lines of

kind of place you go when you don't want to eat in a diner and you don't want to spend 130 bucks." There will be a major potato presence at the "avantgarde bistro." Every table is going to get a bowl of garlic mashed potatoes and a basket of fries with Belgian sauces. Translation? Maheu describes it as "Starry Night without the frou-frou." Maybe it's all those lawmakers squandering their daily meal allowances eating out. But Montpelier has more restaurants per capitol, er capita, than any other town in Vermont. These days everyone is trying to get into Conoscenti, a new Italian place on State Street next to Julio's, serving timballa, fresh soft-shell crab and other Sicilian specialties. Chef-owner Dale Conoscenti is showcasing classical dishes from his childhood in a "'50s Italian club" atmosphere. A wall of tightly packed deuces looks very New York, but in cosy Central Vermont makes for easy eavesdropping. Take-out sushi from Rhapsody solves that problem. Or you can choose from 40 seats in the new self-serve restaurant associated with the non-profit Center for Natural Living. "We've got hot food, cold food, salads, desserts, salads — all of it by the pound," says Sjon Welters, who used to run the deli at the back of the State Street Market. Better yet, you can eat your seitan stir fry next door in the comfort of the Savoy Theater. Sounds like Stone Soup South. . . ®

section evolved and started bringing in different textures. But the songs remained deliberately unhurried. Even when they kicked things up a couple notches, the band never sacrificed its mesmerizing effect. Though The Trinity Session was the group's break-out success, it began an unconventional relationship between the band and their labels. "We basically put out our own records," Anton says. "We always made our own record and delivered it. T h e record companies hated that because they never had any say in the process and making of the record... We got away with it for years... but finally it came back to bite us, because we've got this reputation that we don't work with Artist & Repertoire guys. We just make our own music." After five albums with RCA, the quartet moved over to Geffen and scored a hit in 1996 with " C o m m o n Disaster" f r o m the Lay It Down album, which itself went gold. But the Geffen marriage was shortlived, as the label was soon swallowed up by Universal. N o w Vivendi-Universal, the record company has earned a reputation for being very focused on the bottom line — even by record industry standards. T h e Junkies' 100,000 to 150,000 sales per album, usually considered excellent by independent standards, was not enough. W h e n Miles From H o m e was released in 1998, the new management thought the disc would fail, so they didn't support it — creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. "They were taken over by account-

ants," A n t o n adds. "There was no kind of musical relationship anymore with the bands... It's a sad thing. They're completely raping the culture, you know? They're throwing away everything that was built up over forty or fifty years by music producers and the companies themselves just to meet the bottom line." T h e Junkies had other suitors when Geffen dropped them, but the band chose to go the independent route. Resurrecting their old label, they released two discs that are available only through the Internet. Last year they released O p e n , their first new studio album since Miles From H o m e , and worked out a distribution arrangement with Zoe Records for the album. Michael Timmins' work on O p e n ranks him a m o n g this era's most compelling songwriters,jYes, his.words are still ? sullen. But sonically and lyrically, his songs are also deeply personal and unusu- l al. In fact, his younger sister considers his words hopeful, even if their subjects aren't. "That's my personality," she says with her habitual laugh. "I think I'm an optimist, but I'm not probably an excitable optimist. I always sort of feel that things are going to be better even though there's a lot of work to be done... I think that the characters in the songs are going through trouble and therefore, at that m o m e n t , things aren't so great. But I always think at the end of the song there's a line or two t h a t . . . indicates they're going to get through it. . ." Surviving never sounded so good. ®

LANE CHANGE The latest from Adrian Lyne explores the fragility of human connection. Boffo steamy bits too.

may 1 5 , 2 0 0 2

Adrian Lyne directed Fatal Attraction, Indecent Proposal and. 9 1/2 Weeks, so who better to direct Unfaithful, a movie that plays off the most provocative themes and elements from all three? The filmmaker has a thing about the fragility of human connection, the frightening ease with which it can be compromised, the slick line between the civilized and the savage. In his latest, Lyne revisits this psychic terrain with commendable s«yle and savvy. He gets considerable help from Diane Lane, who gives the performance of her career in the role of a lapsed suburban wife. Her character would seem to have it all. She's beautiful. She has a great kid. She lives in a sprawling Hudson Valley dream house. She's married to Richard Gere. She appears happy, fulfilled and in love. And then one windy day she goes into the city, literally bumps into a handsome stranger and finds herself unable to put him out of her mind. The picture is loosely based on a 1969 Claude Chabrol film called La Femme Infidele. I haven't seen the original, so I can't say where Chabrol stops and Lyne begins, but the movie is filled with remarkably subtle touches. One of my favorites comes early on when Lane goes back into town a few days after her brief encounter and wrestles with the idea of calling the guy. She pushes a coin into the slot of a pay phone, pauses and then pulls the return lever. When the quarter tumbles into the chamber, she breathes an almost convulsive sigh of relief. It's as though she had thrown everything away and here it all is returned to her intact. She clutches that coin as if it were life itself. Of course, a moment later something makes her push the coin back in and dial. What is it? That's the first of the film's several mysteries. Gere's character isn't distant or abusive or philandering. On the contrary, we learn that he's loving and hardworking, a devoted husband and father. One scene suggests Lane's motivations are as much a mystery to her as they are to the audience. Riding the train home after her first adulterous encounter, her face registers a succession of emotions, from guilty pleasure to self-loathing, with a dozen others in between. At home, the lies begin: little things she assumes will never come back to haunt her, like a conversation with a family friend she fabricates to account for her time. After one or two of these backfire, Gere begins to suspect trouble. As the evidence piles up, his pain and confusion increase, and it's semi-mesmerizing to watch husband and wife bite their lips and try to maintain the illusion of domestic well-being. At a certain point, Gere knows what his wife's up to but doesn't tell her that he knows. She doesn't know he knows and continues to play the loving wife, her lie almost as hurtful as her betrayal. Something's got to give, and, when it does, matters become even more morally murky. Where the two were once united by the bond of marriage, they ultimately find themselves bound together by a web of secrets, lies and shared guilt. Unfaithful raises uncomfortable questions about the extent to which one person can ever truly know another and the way a fantasy can mutate into an obsession. It explores the many shapes addiction can take, its power to command the most supreme sacrifices; the temptation — once lines have been crossed — to simply pretend nothing has changed and wear the safe, familiar business of life as a disguise. Not bad for a mainstream suspensefest. Gere's good. Lane, as I said, is amazing in places. And Lyne does some of his most assured work in years. BofFo steamy bits, too. Not much to complain about here. Except that Hollywood doesn't come up with surprises this pleasant mote often. ®

the test of time They can't all be classics. In fact, what we've got for you this week are scenes from four pictures that barely even registered in the public consciousness and did so-so business at best. They came and went in less time than it took SpiderMan to crack the $100 million mark. Your job is to convince us they are gone but not forgotten.

C o l o m b i a picture Talk about bad timing. As the current pedophilia scandal rocks America, a film like Our Lady of the Assassins is difficult to digest. This cinematic celebration of man-boy love would be unsettling enough even without today's troubles in the Catholic Church. But don't expect pornographic trash at this Saturday's screening at the Hopkins Center. Director Barbet Schroeder — whose more commercial Murder by Numbers is now playing nationwide with Sandra Bullock in the starring role — has created a disturbing art-house tale about an aging writer with a penchant for young male lovers in the violent milieu of contemporary Colombia. Although shot in digital video with almost documentary-style immediacy, Our Lady is a long meditation on the misery of Medellin. When he returns home after living abroad for 30 years, Fernando — portrayed by German Jaramillo — feels more cynicism than shock in reaction to the terrible changes that have taken place in his absence. The reigning drug culture has transformed a once graceful city into purgatory. Teenage gangs rule, cathedrals have become crack houses, the morgues are full and there are road signs that make a futile request: "no dumping of corpses." Too world-weary for outrage, Fernando invests all his energy and money into domesticating a streetwise, gun-toting adolescent named Alexis, played by Anderson Ballesteros. A newly-purchased stereo and TV aren't enough to keep the kid occupied — when they're not in bed together — so the couple strolls through the troubled town. Our Lady becomes a travelogue of despair, as they witness a society immersed in chaos and dominated by an ornate religion that is too remote to offer an antidote. These evening constitutionals also give Alexis an opportunity tq display his talent for murder. With dispassion, he blows away enemies, as well as people who merely annoy him. The initially horrified , Fernando quickly adapts, becoming complicit in the crimes. Based on an autobiographical 1994 novel by Fernando Vallejo, the film is another curious chapter in Schroeder's eclectic career. This is the same guy who provided a poetic glimpse of alcoholism in Barfly, a look at the intersection of affluence and decadence in the Oscar-nominated Reversal of Fortune and an examination of psychotic obsession in Single White Female. But Our Lady lacks credibility. Fernando's relationship with the somewhat vacant Alexis is conveyed as an otherwise happy affair marred by the sociological reality of Colombia. Never mind that it's sexual abuse of a minor; how blissfully compatible can an upper-class, fifty-something intellectual and an uneducated child of poverty possibly be? ShOlt t a k C S : Get ready for Bessie-mania! Well, not really. Although the biennial Vermont Stage and Screen Awards fancies itself the state's equivalent of Oscars and Tonys combined, the excitement has never exactly been palpable as the big night approaches. That's Saturday, June 15 at St. Michael's College. The Burlington City Arts event includes dinner, a silent auction, an awards ceremony and a cocktail hour-and-a-half. For Flick Chick purposes, let's stick to this year's slate of Bessieworthy films: One of only two features eligible for a People's Choice nod, Swimming on the Moon by Shawn Sweeney of Burlington, addresses the issue of death-with-dignity for an elderly woman. The other drama is Jay Craven's The Year That Trembled, about the political counterculture of the early 1970s. Eight shorts — some just a few minutes long — have been chosen, with subjects ranging from a father helping his son on a newspaper delivery route to chronic sleepwalking. A Simple Hit, by Anders Burrows of Brattleboro, concerns an assassination gone wrong. Talcum, a psychological thriller, is the work of Queen City resident Mark Christopher Covino. The six entries in the documentary category tackle some tough topics. A Parallel World, by Mira Niagolova of Essex, explores the postwar situation in a Kosovo refugee camp. With A Moment in Time, Montpelier's Joan Brace O'Neal zeros in on a fatal car crash involving four teens. You can see most of them in a May Movie Showcase beginning this Friday on cable access television stations throughout Vermont. Without dressing up... ©

e h j Cecil, What's the rant with offshore banking,? It's a big thing in every John Grisham novel, but what's the real story? Forget ethics and morals. If I put in my paltry hundred bucks a week, will it make more than at my local bank? Will they even talk to me about starting an account with a hundred bucks? Most important, if I don't pay taxes on it here, do I have to pay taxes in the Cayman Islands or the Bahamas, etc.? — Shawn T.

OK, we'll forget about ethics and morals. These are not essential to survival in the modern world. However, a big bankroll is. Therefore I'll ignore the part about the hundred bucks and pretend you're a person of means. Those island bankers are laid-back and friendly, but they don't want to deal with insignificant crumbs. All right, then. This being the age of specialization, I turned to Sam, pillar of the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board and international business consultant. His report: "I'll assume we're talking an honest bank located in a tax haven — that is, a country that has no (or very, very low) tax rates, such as Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Liechtenstein, the Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey) and a few others. The banks provide services that let you invest in almost anything, anywhere. So you can think of your account as an investment account rather than just a bank savings account. "Let's say that you, a U.S. citizen and resident and therefore a taxpayer, put some money into the Bank of Bermuda. How can you make that work to your advantage? "(1) You put the money in a regular investment account in your name. The money earns interest. If you had put that money in a U.S. bank, the bank would send you a 1099-INT statement at the end of the calendar/tax year, indicating the amount of interest the account earned. That amount is taxable income. The 1099 also goes to the IRS, so you'd better report it on your income tax forms. "The Bank of Bermuda has no obligation to report investment earnings to the U.S. government. Thus, if your money is in the Bank of Bermuda (or any offshore bank), you would know how much taxable income it earned, but nothing would have been reported to the IRS. "So, the first way people profit from an offshore bank is by cheating on their income tax. They omit the earnings from their tax forms and hope the IRS won't notice or track it down. However, if the IRS does go after you, it's going to get you for tax evasion, you chiseler. "(2) You use the account for money laundering, parking ill-gotten millions in the account to conceal their origin. At $100 per deposit, we'll assume this is not your main concern.

j j

"(3) You set up an investment trust fund at the offshore bank. Broadly speaking, if you set up a trust fund in the U.S., the fund is a taxable entity, so it pays tax on earnings each year. (There are exceptions, like 401(k) retirement trust funds.) If a U.S. trust fund earns an investment return of $100, around $35 goes to the government. The trust fund pays you the remaining $65, which is taxable income to you. "However, for a trust fund in a tax haven, the fund itself is not taxed. The investment earnings accumulate and compound tax-free — obviously a huge advantage. When the money is paid out to you, it becomes taxable, but you're back in situation (1), in which the government might not know you failed to report the income. Since we know what a law-abiding guy you are, Mr. Forget-the-ethics, we won't dwell on that. The major advantage of an offshore trust, assuming you want to follow U.S. law and report all income as you should, is that the money can accumulate tax-free. This is the same advantage offered by a 401 (k) plan or similar retirement fund such as an IRA, except that the 401(k) plan or IRA is more heavily regulated and there are maximum allowable contributions. Offshore trusts have no such maximums, so they're very attractive to those wealthy enough to take advantage of them. "As for you, with your $ 100, these are legitimate banks that accept small deposits. But when you factor in postage and bank fees, the tax savings may not do much more than buy you two six-packs instead of one." — CECIL ADAMS

These gray-thumbed losers could certainly benefit from the Lilac and Gardening Sunday, the annual horticultural extravaganza that opens the season at the Shelburne Museum. Learn to shape hedges with Kelly Sweeny von Trapp, and explore herbal remedies with Christie Sarles. Once you've mastered garden arts worthy of Monet, find out how to fence it all in with a stone wall under the tutelage of the aptly named Kevin Gardner. With over 200 attendees anticipated, this hands-on rite of spring isn't for wallflowers. Lilac and Gardening Sunday. Sunday, May 19. Shelburne Museum, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. $8.75-17.50. Info, 985-3346.

The chips are down for underprivileged families, so ante up at ReCycle North's Second Annual Bourbon Street Rendezvous to help raise some cabbage (that's Louisianan for "moolah") to benefit households in need. Still have that neckerchief and purple fedora? Gamesters are encouraged to sport "creative formal attire" as they listen to live music and elbow up to the cash bar and place their bids at a silent auction. So deal yourself in and see if luck's a lady after all. Bourbon Street Rendezvous. Friday, May 17. Shelburne Farms Coach Barn, 8 p.m. $25. Info, 658-4143. _

They may not be furry or cuddly, but you have to admit, turtles are cute. Be it a sea turtle or a landlocked loggerhead, there's something adorable about that grandfatherly beak and those earnest round eyes. Unfortunately, the little reptiles can't always care for their nests and are in constant danger of attack by less cute predators, such as raccoons and skunks. The Winooski Valley Park District seeks turtle-loving volunteers to help track down nests so protective wire guards can be installed. No background necessary - just a healthy fondness for slow movers.

Sure, bees seem like malicious little bugs just itching to sting you, but in biology, the family apoidea is very important. Without pollination, over 40 percent of everything we eat might not exist. Local beekeeper Todd Hardie offers a six-part workshop on raising and handling the little honey-grubbers. Tuition benefits Heifer International's mission to promote economic selfsufficiency through beekeeping. This week Hardie introduces some queens to a hive to find some honeys.

Pierson is small, smiley, and graceful; she introduced the history of May Day with such earnestness that our uncomfortable giggles quickly subsided. We weren't bothered that May 1 was already history, and no one seemed interested in the holiday's important labor associations. The purpose of the gathering was to welcome spring with a variety of circular dances — no matter their origin. Pierson asked us to hold hands and introduced folk forms that are as familiar to Greeks and Romanians as the waltz is here. It was clear almost no one had a mastery of rhythm, but Pierson bore with us. ("Oh, excuse me, was that your foot?") "One, two, three," she called over the music to feux-dervishes whirling into walls. "One, two, three. There we are." Our greatest challenge was a Jewish wedding dance, which required coordinated clapping. Though we finally figured out the cues in the music, our snapping was impossibly out-of-sync and nearly deteriorated into defeated laughter. Pierson was resilient, however, and when the British woman asked whether we could reprise one of the dances, Pierson happily obliged. She kept her calm — even when the tape refused to play and new visitors arrived and timidly joined the circle, seeming to wonder if this was the right May Day festival. The sex ratio definitely favored spindly men like me, and so did the attitude. Pierson passionately described the determined masculinity of the Greek folk song, and seemed intent on "celebrating the holiest of unions between goddess and god, when sweet desire weds wild delight." The cool yoga studio seemed to grow warmer with each grapevine step, and the impulse kept returning to release hands, approach one of the said goddesses, and inquire about her plans after the Basque wedding dance.

May Day is a lot like the metric system: Most Americans don't know anything about it, and that's just fine with us. That's probably why a "May Day Sacred Circle Dance" attracted a British woman and several other Europeans familiar with the holiday. Nearly 2 0 young and old Americans showed up as well, making for a nice, diverse group of strangers to celebrate the coming spring. Set in the spotless Vermont Yoga Studio, the little festival might seem to have had all the ingredients of a New Age disaster. Many of us balked at the idea of removing our shoes, much less holding hands and forming a circle around the Maypole. It was hard to take seriously the pole's several burning candles and ribbon streamers. And the circle itself kept collapsing into a sort of dharmic amoeba. Fortunately, Dilys Pierson is not some spacey, blond-dreaded guru, but a

obert C o m p t o n and Kevin Crowe are nationally recognized ceramists who burn a lot of wood. O n e of Compton's kiln firings might use almost 200 cubic feet of cordwood, and Crowe generally needs about twice that much to bake his vessels. A Virginian, Crowe has taught pottery workshops around the country; C o m p t o n is a Vermonter working in Bristol whose work has been exhibited internationally. T h e two are united at the Vermont Clay Studio this month for a joint exhibition entitled simply "Two Approaches to Wood-Firing." T h e forms are generally elegant, as would be expected from masters of the potter's wheel. But C o m p t o n and Crowe embrace wood-firing because of the unpredictable surface qualities that process can create. T h e latter's two "Slab Plates" dramatically illustrate one such effect. T h e plates are roughly square, like tiles, but have a slight curvature, as if cut from the center of larger thrown platters. Both are Shino Vase," by Kevin Crowe highly textured and reddish-brown in color, but one of the plates has four fiery spots swirls rippling over its surface, and the form has resembling miniature comets with short tails. four small strap holes below the rim of the vase These were created when jets of flame erupted in a m a n n e r similar to 5000-year-old Mesopotfrom the pieces stacked below it in the kiln. amian vessels. Another particularly interesting form is Crowe's other "Slab Plate" has a similar rand o m effect, but its position in the kiln was difCompton's "Three H a n d l e d Vase." Its handles are long and gracefully tapered, extending from the ferent, so the "comets" have no tails. Instead, they are circular and burned deeper into the clay, lip of the pot to its midsection. T h e grainy texlike silvery fossils trapped in an ancient layer of ture of the surface provides an engaging counterstone. point to the elegance of the vessel's body. His "Faceted Bowl" is a large, shallow vessel with four Crowe uses a three-chambered hikarigima long, indented lines pulled from near the center kiln, which creates different kinds of atmospheres when fired. His plates are products of the first chamber, where swirling ash and A gases released from the incendiary materials are at their most violent. T h e second chamber is somewhat more restrained, and the third is fired with wood and salt to produce

more subtle effects. Crowe's reddish-orange "Shino Vase" is a product of the third chamber. Shino is an ash-feldspar glaze that imparts an almost iridescent sheen. His "Shino Vase" is about 20 inches tall and has gradual gradations of red-orange across a vertical portion of its surface. It's difficult to tell if that coloring resulted from Crowe's brushwork or from the 2400-degree heat in the hikarigima. C o m p t o n is also a brilliant practitioner of the Japanese-inspired wood-firing processes, and his forms inventively blend Oriental and Occidental influences. T h e dark umber glaze of his "Vase" has a beautiful pattern of diagonal

to equidistant points around its edges. At the b o t t o m of the bowl is a broad concentric spiral, and C o m p t o n has given the piece a relatively even brown tonality." In reference to his experience with woodfiring, C o m p t o n has written that, "Having come from a background where controlling clay was a perceived goal, I have grown comfortable with the notion that the ... potter and clay are more like partners in a dance, and the music we choose is being played by the fire." Ceramists often refer to this sort of interaction when talking about firing, but in the case of woodfiring, the exchange seems more profound. ®

I lllllllllllll!

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): It will be an excellent time for small experiments, Aries. Not grand, sweeping gambles, mind you; not daring excursions to the frontiers where you tempt fate and court chaos. No, I'm talking about carrying out carefully contained tests and trials. The object is to do preliminary research on the wisdom of departing from The Way Things Have Always Been Done. For example, dye a streak of your hair, not the entire mop. Write a light-hearted haiku to the person you secredy admire, not a 10page love letter steaming with purple prose. Make a brief visit to the suburbs of paradise, not a pilgrimage to the holy of holies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sometimes you win by losing. A famous example was an event in the life of Helen Tweedy, who owned several top racehorses. According to The New York Times, she arranged for her mare Somethingroyal to mate with Ogden Phipps stallion, Bold Ruler. A coin flip decided which breeder would claim the first offspring of the mating. Tweedy lost and had to be content with getting the second-born foal. Here's the happy ending: While the first-born never amounted to much, Tweedy's consolation prize turned out to be Secretariat, a Triple Crown winner that appeared on the cover of Time. I predict an analogous twist of fate for you in the coming weeks, Taurus.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "In my dream's, I was drowning my sorrows. But my sorrows, they learned to swim." So sings Bono in U2's tune, "Until the End of the World." I bring this up, Gemini, because unless you act quickly, your sorrows will also learn to swim. If you hope to leave them behind for good — if you prefer them not to follow you to the new world you're headed

n n t r u

for — make sure you don't do anything to help them stay afloat in the coming week.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): I finally took down the Christmas decorations. It was past time. The red ribbon on the front gate had turned pink from the sun and rain. Most of the tiny bulbs on the outdoor lights had burned out. Even the tinsel on the discarded Christmas tree in the backyard was dissolving. As much as I disliked the hassle, it had an invigorating effect on me. Once done, I dived into other long-postponed tasks, like writing a conciliatory letter to an estranged friend, addressing business problems I'd allowed to drag on and on, and going to a dentist for the cavity that had ached for weeks. I hope you get inspired by me, my friend. If you're like most of us who are born under the sign of Cancer, you're a procrastinator, and that is not a good thing to be in the coming astrological phase. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): On an autumn night when I was 19 years old, I reached what I thought was the peak of accomplishment. My fledgling rock band had been selected to play for the homecoming dance at a high school in Gaffney, South Carolina. As I belted out our mix of original songs and covers of David Bowie and Grateful Dead tunes, I gazed down at the awkwardly dancing teens as if they were my worshipful subjects. Today, of course, this triumph seems laughable to me; my ambitions have evolved. I invoke this theme, Leo, because your own visions of success are now mutating. The dreams of glory that have fueled you for many moons will be quite different a month from now.

1 I

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "I asked if I could have a purple light saber," Samuel L. Jackson told Maxim magazine in discussing his role as a Jedi knight in Star Wars: Episode II, Attack of the Clones. "I just figured a purple light would help me find all the lint on my robes so I could pick it off." That's pretty funny as a dig at the seriousness with which some people treat the Star Wars mythos. But it won't be funny, Virgo, if you let it become a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks. Please don't do the equivalent of using a light saber as a lint remover, or a diamond brooch as a doorstop or a silk prayer cloth as a rag to wipe the kitchen table.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When my daughter was in second grade, her class did a theatrical production of Noah's Ark. In a stroke of ingenious casting, the teacher chose the rowdiest, strangest boy to play the part of God. By turns wry, evasive, histrionic, tender and unpredictable — sometimes all those at once — he was an effervescent alternative to the stilted portraits of the Supreme Being offered by the major religions. Your assignment, Libra, should you choose to accept it, is to be inspired by the wild boy portraying God. How? Celebrate the divine beauty of your idiosyncratic qualities. Tune in to the spiritual power of your boisterous playfulness. Imagine a benevolent deity who has a hell of a lot of soul.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let the rites of purification begin, Scorpio. Flush out the gunk in your sensitive psyche, the angst in your courageous heart and the toxins in your beautiful body. In fact, purge and shun every influence except those

I U g

few that propagate the jiggle and the hop in your soul. Only you know how best to perform the cleansing, but here's a goad to get you going. See if you can go seven consecutive days in which you never even glance at a TV screen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I took a hike into the hills in quest of an oracle for you. Just before I reached a lightningstruck tree at a sharp crook in the trail, I found an omen: a dog-eared Tarot card, the 8 of Cups, lying in the dirt. Back at home, I consulted a book by Angeles Arrien, my favorite Tarot interpreter. She said the card means you're feeling drained or emotionally stagnant as a result of overextending yourself or not honoring your own limits and boundaries. I conclude, dear Sagittarius, that you should cut back on giving to others and take care of yourself better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): I have a radical request, Capricorn. It is among the most difficult tasks I've ever assigned, so I'll understand if you decide you can't muster the chutzpah to carry it out. In the coming week, I propose that before you undertake every action, you ask yourself, "Whar is the most savvy and abundant expression of love I can offer to the experience I'm about to have?" If you have the guts to commit yourself to this shocking experiment, I predict you will reap crazy joy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Our imaginations can drive us crazy. They are at work continuously, churning out endless streams of fantasies, theories, and judgments. So filled to the brim are we with these

ephemera that it's often hard to • see what's actually happening ; right in front of us. That's the " bad news. The good news, Aquarius, is that it is possible to see what's happening right in front of us. The great news is that in the coming weeks you will have lots of cosmic assistance if you dare to attempt this heroic feat. Can you imagine what it will feel like to gather objective perceptions of reality, untainted by clouds of assumptions and projections?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Try to invoke the feelings that welled up in you after the trauma of last September 11. Recall the ways in which that historical turning point roused you to rearrange your priorities. Think of how different the world looked to you as you gazed through the filter of the shock. Once you've done that, Pisces, turn your deep attention to the drama provoked by the crisis in the Middle East. Study and meditate on it. Allow it to touch you with an emotional intensity comparable to your response to the terrorist attacks on New York. In ways that are impenetrable to logical analysis, these two spectacles are intimately related: not only in their impact on global politics and human evolution, but also in their meaning for your personal life. ®

Lola

the love counselor

Dear Readers, ycu fc Iks can dish it cut. In a recent column, I turned the tables and solicited ycur advice to "Wondering in Winooski." Wondering's husband is preparing to transgender. She plans to stay married but wants to know if this makes her a lesbian, you responded with a full menu of suggestions: Just one of ycu revealed a distasteful case of) homophobia: "...leave him at cnce or risk permanent psychological damage, which he seems to have. Some things, like ycur husband, are merely broken and can't be fixed." But the majority of ycu were considerably more open-minded, your answers were witty: "Try this on for size: Why don't ycu become a man?" Sophisticated: "...There will be plenty of counseling in store for him, so she may well want to participate in some phases of that. In the near term... ©

he would probably lock good in some sheer lingerie. Also, I would suggest she buy a modest sized strapon dildo and figure cut how to use it... It may be... enough for her husband to pretend to be a woman." And delicicusly understanding: "If ycu can truly transcend the transitory to continue the love affair after ycur husband's transgender operation is successful, consider yourself a Bcdhisattva, a best friend and a lover who has slipped the bonds of gender attachment," one of ycu suggested. Another opined, "A person's heart does not love the flesh vehicle that their mate is in, be it male or female or a transgender. ycu love the heart and soul of ycur husband, be he female or male. No, you're not a lesbian, ycu are a woman in love with her husband, whatever form he decides to choose. I applaud ycur decision to stay by ycur man." "Wondering" and I both thank ycu from the bottom of cur hearts.
