Police said Sattambige Sriyaratne, 36, impersonated a woman for about three years, received bank loans amounting to $500,000 and ran a success ful business exporting prawns. “He had posed as a wealthy woman, well connected to some leading government personalities,” said police inspector Mohamed Nizam. “That and his forced female charm are probably what made him a suc cessful businesswoman.” The female impersonator was also legally married to a 29-year-old man. WRONG ARM OF THE LAW Baltimore authorities charged police officer William Scott Kern with burglary after finding his thumb print at the crime scene. They dropped the charge four months later when they finally concluded that Kern wasn’t the perpetrator but had left the incrim inating thumb print on a door frame at the residence while he was there investigating the crime.

Assemblyman Bob Price, a Democrat from North Las Vegas, had called the trip a “fact-finding” mission to teach legislators about an industry that he says generates at least 30 percent of the tax revenue in some counties. But Nevada Appeal publisher and editor Jeff Ackerman lampooned the tour, saying some taxpayers might suggest that “except for the degree of pleasure they provide, lawmakers and prostitutes might actually have lots in common.”

SEVEN, DAYS

Dear Cecil, I ’ve been buying produce labeled “certified organic’’because I ’m con cerned about pesticide and other chemical residues on and in my food But now I ’ve been told that certified organicfood can be sprayed with chemicals, too. What’s the story, Cecil? Is this certified organic thing a fraud? — Picky Earer, Chicago My friend, listen. Everything grown on God’s green earth has chemicals sprayed on it. For example, the well-known compound H2 0 , known to be fatal if consumed to excess. The organic argument is merely that you shouldn’t use synthetic chemicals, and that natural chemicals should be used with restraint. Fact is, with many crops, unless you want to sit there and pick bugs off with tweezers, you’re pretty much obliged to take, you know, biochemical measures, lest you wind up with something only weevils could stand to eat. I have here the 1996 International Certification Standards, pub lished by the Organic Crop Improvement Association of Lincoln, Nebraska. This has a long list of stuff you can and cannot put on your plants. Among the permissible treatments are bacillus thuringienses (BT), a natural insecticide used mostly on vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower; chemicals such as copper sulfate, used to control fungal diseases; “microbial plant inoculants” such as rhizobia bacteria, used to help beans and other legumes fix nitrogen in the soil; and OCIA-approved virus sprays, which typically kill a specific pest. The OCIA also allows restricted use of such things as strychnine (as a rat poison) and pyrethrum, a strong pesticide that kills good insects as well as bad ones. How come strychnine and pyrethrum are OK? Because they’re natural, of course. But that doesn’t make them any less lethal, Your c«|umnj|dpes not wish to give o They donV sprayTtaa crops with herbiaaes, use artificial fertilizers or engage in a lot of other dubious practices common in conventional agriculture. But we gotta face the facts. If you’re a farmer, whether organic or otherwise, you’re faced with a host of bugs, weeds, vermin, etc., that are trying to wreck your crops. Your job basically is to destroy the little bastards before they destroy you. (Or at least inter fere big-time with their life cycles.) An organic farmer tries to accom plish this in a natural way with a minimum of, shall we say,collareral damage. That doesn’t mean zero risk. For example, excessive use of copper sulfate can cause copper buildup in soil, whichis (detrimental to plant growth. Organically grown produce isn’t necessarily healthier for you. For one thing, it isn’t guaranteed to be free of synthetics. A lot of these chemicals arc ubiquitous in the environment and are almost impossible to avoid. In any case, some scientists doubt that the small amounts found in conventionally grown crops ate all that dangerous, anyway. .' V " Y . r X /./ You also need to consider the big picture. Excess chemical use isn’t the only or even the biggest farm problem we’ve got. Some people are more worried about soil erosion. One trend oyer the past couple of decades has been “no till” farming, which minimizes plowing in order to halt erosion. Trouble is, if you don’t plow, you need to rely heavily on herbicides to control weeds. So what do you do — swear ofF the weed killer, till your soil and risk having it wash away, or swear off plowing and heavy up on the herbicides? Sure, some people claim they can farm organically and conserve soil at the same time. But it’s not easy. A m i telling you not to buy certified organic food? Not at all. Although organic produce accounts for only 2 percent of crops in the U S., increasing sales in this category send a powerful signal to the agriculture industry. While it may not be practical or desirable to apply strict organic methods to mainstream U.S. fanning, a related bunch of techniques known as integrated pest management is gaining wid‘e acceptance. IPM doesn’t condemn synthetic chemical use but downplays it in favor of crop rotation, biological pest controls, use of bug-resistant varieties, and so on — many of the same techniques organic farmers use. Some surveys say half of all farmers now use IPM techniques to some degree, and the U.S. goal is 75 percent by the year 2000. The way I figure, greater consumer interest in organic food has to make this goal seem more urgent. So buy that organic kumquat, and send ’em a message. — CECIL ADAMS Is there something you need to get straight? Cecil Adams can deliver the Straight Dope on any topic.

T h irty local restaurants already w ork w ith M enus o n the M ove —- a Burlington-based to-go service —- to get their dinners delivered.

eating days far from the Garden State needn’t lose heart. Vermont also has its share of diners: those unpretentious, prefabricated eateries that ;;j|gm look like railroad cars. Places where the waitresses call you “hon” and are more seasoned than the “homestyle” fare they serve. Places where, as The Parkway Diner’s Christine Alvanos puts it, you’re guaran teed to get “a good plate of food that’s not really that expensive.” To serve the diner aficiona dos, here are five in the Burlington area:

Horowi t z f you grew up in north ern New Jersey, you might remem ber a magnifi cent, machinetooled monu ment to the appetite called the Claremont Diner. The Claremont’s menu was ency clopedic. Its cheesecake achieved a bal ance of tartness and density that

described as historic. Its generously endowed corned beef sandwiches, served on satiny fresh rye with a Kosher dill on the side, have never been reproduced any where else on Earth. Sadly, we can’t all live in New Jersey. And even if we could, it’s been years since the Claremont mysteriously burned to the ground and was- replaced by an Acura dealership. But those of us who are doomed to live out our

The Parkway, perched at the side of Williston Road near the airport, is a perfectly preserved gem of vintage Americana. In fact, the 1950 Worcester “mod ern streamline”-era diner is such a flawless icon it made head lines — three years ago the eatery’s owners challenged The Gap for using an unauthorized photo of their diner’s exterior on the label of its classic-fit jeans. The conflict has since been “settled.” Today George Hatgen, who bought The Parkway in 1955, is in Florida. After more than 20 years of dishing up American standards and Greek specialties to the Parkway’s loyal clientele, he handed the keys over to George and Christine Alvanos this past April Fool’s Day. “The menu will stay the same,” insists Christine, a fact that will make diner devotees and other Parkway partisans breathe a sigh of relief — redo lent with oregano.

Those who have only d rive n past the

counter. A dusty crocheted poodle stands watch over individual serving packs of Frosted Flakes and Special K. On a workday lunch hour, the red-striped foun tain stools are filled with hungry men wearing blue jeans and work boots. Couples, retirees and whitecollar workers fill the booths. “There are few one-time cus tomers at the Parkway,” the menu contends. Hearing the chit-chat that crosses the counter, you can believe it. Everyone, it seems, is on a first-name basis. A tall, white-haired gen tleman settles onto a stool and opens up the daily paper left on the counter. “Morning, Perry,” Patty Wilkins, the waitress, greets him. “Morning, Patty.” “Meat loaf?” Patty asks, though she already knows the answer. “Uh-huh.” “Mashed potatoes?” “Yep.” “Milk?” “M mm-hmm.” Patty pauses. “Corn,

Perry?” Its more o f an apology than an offer. » . Perry sighs. “Alright,” he answers after a

moment. A pretty young woman in a pink pants suit silently works her way through a plate of the daily special. “I like your outfit,” Patty tells her. “Well. I liked it when I bought it,” the customer replies. “But then my boyfriend went and said it looked like pajamas.” “He’s a man. W hat does he know?” Patty scoffs, turning to serve another patron. “It’s like home,” Patty muses. “It’s not all formal like a regular restaurant. You see a customer coming around the bend and you get their coffee ready before they sit down.” Like any good, successful diner that’s been around for a while, The Parkway provides a comfy home-away-from-home for its steady patrons. But what makes it unique, at least among Burlington area diners, are the Greek overtones. Greek and American flags, worry beads and other Greek souvenirs are displayed on the wall. The menu wishes you Kali Orexa -— Greek for bon appetit. Dishes include spanokopita (Greek spinach pie) and baklava. Today’s soup dujour is Greek chicken soup tarred up with lemon and thickened with egg. The Greek salad sports a row of Kalamata olives and an ample sprinkling of feta cheese topped with oregano.

G ot two letters from strange men in hotel rooms somewhere in America this week. W ell, they weren’t that strange — the m en, that is. Billy Bratcher wrote to assure that “things are m ov ing along well with the Texans.” As reported here sev eral weeks ago, the Buck & the Black Cats bassist is on tour with Austin retro country guy W ayne H ancock, a double bill with Nashville’s B R 5-49. Bratcher and H ancock flew to the Lone Star State to record “Brand N ew Cadillac” for an upcom ing Clash tribute album — Joe Strum m er him self is working with IRS Records’ M iles C opland to approve the bands on the com pilation. Bratcher notes that he

Second letter was from D errick Sem ler, w ith thanks for the review and a report that his his hom ebase radio station, W C L Z in Brunswick, M aine, is getting lots o f requests for the true-blues guy’s Only Love.

STATE C O LLEG E HAVE A NICE DAY-GLOW Some of you will have to confess that you remember the Merry Pranksters author Ken Kesey’s tie-tyed tribe who traveled the coun try in a psychedelic bus (and state of consciousness) in the late ’60s. But if you’re not old enough, and if you’re wearing bell-bottoms in the ’90s, the Merry Danksters are likely to get the point across.

DINER NOTES

Continued from page 7 the Greek tea cookies still listed on the menu. “The guy who makes them went to Florida, so they’re all out,” Patty explains when I try to order one. “But he’ll be coming back soon.”

Nineteen-ninety-seven seems to be the year of the diner turn-over. This past January, Stratty Lines, dean of Burlington’s diner scene, sold The Oasis Diner to his 33-yearold son Jon. After ruling the roost at “Burlington’s Newest Diner” — a title the Bank Street establishment has right fully claimed since 1954 — retirement isn’t coming easy to Stratty. At 8:30 a.m. on a recent Wednesday morning, the place is quiet. A couple regulars are reading the morning paper. Jon Lines’ brother David is eating a quick breakfast before heading down to Montpelier. Stratty’s sister, in town for a friend’s funeral, sits at a stool. Jon works behind the counter with David St. Amour, who’s been cooking at the Oasis since Jon was seven years old, and Mary Krause, who’s racked up “18 years of pure hell” waiting tables. A little before nine, Stratty comes in, looking a little odd without his white diner cap and T-shirt. He sits down on the customer side of the Formica counter, greets his sister and the regulars, and starts kibitzing. “I come in from time to time to help Jon when he wants to take some time off,” Stratty allows. “I miss the people. I have so much free time it’s hard to find things to do.” “He’s here every day,” Jon confides. The Oasis was on the mar ket for two years before Stratty and Jon worked out a turn-over agreement that suited them both. Father and son concede that a major point was the understanding that Stratty would step back and let Jon run the place his way. “My manage ment style is more relaxed than his,” Jon says. “I’m more will ing to let my customer’s desires shape the menu.” Jon has filled out his father’s strictly middle-of-the-road menu with bagels, fresh-cut French fries, “richer, heartier soups,” salads and heart-healthy recipes. Down the line, he hopes to add some Greek spe cialties like spanikopita and pastitsio (a sort of lasagna with egg batter in place of the toma to sauce), both of which he learned from his grandmother. But Lines sees these innovations less as changes than as “enhancements.” As he puts it, “My dad knew what he was doing. When something’s work ing, you don’t fix it.” One thing that worries Jon

page

is that his relatively easy-going attitude will make The Oasis lose its edge. When Stratty wielded the spatula, the Burlington land mark had a repu tation for feisty political banter. Stratty, a selfdescribed “old school” Democrat who considered Howard Dean “a little on the liberal side when he first came on the scene,” has never been shy about his views. The proudest moment in Stratty’s 43-year career was the day President Bill Clinton visited Burlington and chose The Oasis for his lunch stop. “He stayed here over an hour,” Stratty says, beaming. “He was very gracious.” Stratty Lines is not the only person who cherishes the memory of the presi dential visit. As a young father settles his preschoolaged daughter into a booth, he tells her, “This is the same table the President of the United States sat in.”

H W S lR W im “It’s not every place where you can get a pie cooked by a brigadier general,” says Roberta Goldstein, proprietor of Henry’s Diner, just a block away from The Oasis on Bank Street. Goldstein, who will turn 80 next Christmas, is talking about her son, Michael, who runs Henry’s kitchen when he’s not on active duty with the Vermont National Guard. Henry’s is named for Henry Couture, who had the

The restau rant was imported to Vermont from Auburn, Massachusetts, on a flatbed truck seven years ago to fill out a New Jerseystyle strip being created along Route 7 at the WinooskiColchester Town Line. The windows from the eatery’s hill top perch afford a view of the traffic on Route 7 and 1-89, office buildings, a service sta tion and a McDonald’s — scenery that makes it easy to imagine you’re in one of the more densely developed sec tions of the Garden State. Libby is Libby Griffin, who moved up from Manchester to run the establishment with her daughter Karen. The Griffins have kept the core of the 1953 Worcester intact, adding on a lobby, an expanded dining area and a kitchen. The marble counter • top, red leatherette fountain stools and booths, ceramic tile floor, display cases and cake stands are all authentic. But the self-consciously cute string of bacon-and-egg lights dancing above the windows makes you wonder. And what are those microbrews and jalapeno “hot bites” doing on the menu? But never mind: The staff is cheerful, the tables are full, the parking lot is dotted with outof-state plates. And the food —

unbridge Quality Ales must be the type of place Miller Beer had in mind when it created its Plank Road Brewery division, hoping to present itself as a small yet bold micro brewery. Located improbably far down a wooded dirt road in tiny Tunbridge, Tunbridge Quality Ales is tucked into a small, shingled building with a sign on the door that says, “Don’t let the cat out!” Outside, the property includes a sweep ing view and a spring-fed pond and well that supply all the brewery’s water. Inside, a visual tour of the brewery can be completed with out leaving one’s chair: 700 square feet within which are produced approximately 40 barrels a month of Telemark Mild, Covered Bridge IPA, Ox Pull Stout, World’s Fair Special and Sap Brew. Sap Brew? The market is still punch-drunk with bigbrewery inventions like Ice Beer, Dry Beer, Red Beer, even Clear Beer. But Sap Brew, says Liz Trott, Tunbridge Quality Ales’ founder, brewer, bottler, labeler and only full-time employee, is basic Yankee ingenuity. “Almost 20 years ago, we were making maple syrup, and we got to the point where we were tired of all that boiling,” Trott says. “We had all the

syrup we needed and plenty of sap left. So I thought, if I can make beer out of water — how about out of sap? I’ve been making it ever since.” If featuring the ubiquitous Vermont product in beer sounds strange, it won’t once you’ve had a sip of Sap Brew — a lightly carbonated, hoppy, blond, slightly sweet ale unlike any beer you’ve proba bly had from around these parts — or others. And there’s good reason — even besides the sap. “Our beers are bottle-con ditioned in a centuriesold tradi tion,” explains Trott, pop ping open a bottle of Ox Pull Stout, a smooth, dry brew with a rich, roast malt flavor. “Most commercial beers, like Budweiser, and even many Vermont beers, are carbonated like soda, using a C O 9 system, or nitrogen. Our bottle-condi tioned beers are a completely different, totally natural carbonation.” Trott explains that live yeast

has the strong, capable appear ance of the horsewoman she once was: plaid shirt, blue jeans, tall boots and salt-andpepper hair pulled back into a small loose braid. She grew up in Rhode Island and moved to Vermont in 1968 to ski and work with horses. One summer spent at a riding academy in England introduced her to Britain’s flavorful beers. “I thought,” Trott recalls, “we must be able to make a beer at least as good as this at home.” She began home brew ing in

the late ’60s — even though Prohibitionera laws against it were still on the books and good brew supplies were hard to come by. While brewing for herself and friends over the next two decades, Trott continued to work with horses, C ontinued on page 14

She arrives at die brewery by 6 a.m. to get the water heated for the days brewing. When her assistants arrive around noon, she leaves to work on market ing, or on her plans for a larger brewing facility. If it’s the assis tants’ day off, Trott stays until 5 o’clock to complete the day’s brew and clean and sterilize the equipment. Liz Trott is busy trying to meet the demand for her all natural, unfiltered and unpas teurized brews — even though other, better established micro brews in Vermont provide hearty competition. Establishments like Julio’s in Montpelier and Parima in Burlington do brisk business with Tunbridge beers on tap. “We’re selling everything we can make,” Trott attests. “People get tired o f bland, mass-produced beer. They like something with a little more flavor.” Well, some people do. In general, microbrews only account for one out o f 50 beers consumed in the U.S. But it’s evident that American tastes are slowly changing, in part because o f what The New York Times calls “the New Regionalism” and “Americas

By Laban Ca r r i c k Hi l l f the satellite dish is the Vermont state flower, then French fries are the Vermont state cuisine. Don’t let all those maple sugarers fool you. Forget about creemees, cob-smoked bacon or cheddar cheese. It’s those beautifully proportioned miniature batons fried to a crisp, golden brown that bring in the orders. The fried potato is king. But a French fry is not a French fry is not a French fry. Ask any of the purveyors of these slim, satisfying sticks what makes a good fry and you’ll get a variety of answers. The responses, however, seem to boil down to three types: And everyone agrees if you can smell the fat cooking as you drive up to the fry shack, you’ll know you found a good one.

1. Places that serve frozen fries insist the magic is in the oil. “The fat has to be clean so that the temperature gets hot enough,” says Helena Spear, owner of Uncle Sam’s Dairy Bar in Charlotte. Frozen fries are great because you’re guaranteed an ideal tater if the oil is hot. It will be a luminescent gold and have the preferred texture of crispy exterior and creamy inte rior. Freezing the potato is just like blanching a fresh fry before

dropping it in the fryer. It makes the inside of the fry creamier. Frozen fries also last longer after they’ve been taken out of the fryer. 2. Stands that fry fresh potatoes right after cutting argue that a good fry is dependent on the potato. The fresher the potato, the better the fry. Conse quently, prime fry eating season is mid-August to late September when the potatoes are harvested. These fries are best when you eat them within a couple of minutes after they’ve been fried. They have a great, earthy potato flavor. 3. Finally, fry counters that follow the traditional French technique of twice cooking, blanching and frying fresh potatoes, believe the secret is in the technique. This gives the fry the perfect balance of golden crispy exterior and soft, creamy interior. Like straight frying, any fresh potato fry depends on the freshness of the potato. Last season’s potato will never be as good as a recently harvested potato. So don’t com plain if at the beginning of the summer, the potatoes are local. Be grateful. All of these theories are true, of course, especially when you consider that fries are the

Grocery chains like W hole Foods may be interested in carrying his artful orbs. Miskell is also making inroads into Japan, where American tomatoes are against the law. Here in Vermont, he has picked up a few more customers via La Prestigiosa, a Manchesterbased distributor of Italian specialty foods that supplies fine restaurants in Montpelier, Stowe and Waitsfield. “We are a little too big to get into New York City,” Miskell says, “but a little too small to lose market share in Vermont”. . . You can’t get much more local than Vermont Harvest Nights at M ary’s. Every Monday evening in July and August the restaurant is serving up five-course meals featuring all Vermont products.

By Lucy Andrews Cummin was five or six years old when I had my first memorable food passion: suc cotash. The combination of lima beans and corn blew me away. First there was the look. The green ovoids and the square yellow kernels tumbled together so invitingly. Then there was the satisfying pop! of a kernel of corn versus the mushy resistance of the lima bean, and the sweetness against the slight pepperiness. Oh, it was good — way better than either one by itself. Right now, sushi makes me happy. I’m in love with the fussy perfection of it: the bite-size pieces, the just-so sticky rice, the tiny fillings, the seaweed wrap ping, the toppings of soy, lemon, green fire, and pickled ginger, especially pickled ginger. With a promise of sushi I can bribe myself to do almost anything: from sub mitting my health insurance claims to washing the dog. I take invalids sushi. Instead of flowers, I take new mothers sushi. Last year I felt exactly the same way about chicken burritos. So what is this power of food? One thing I do know: It isn’t about nutrition. You would think, for purposes of basic survival, people would prefer foods that were good for them. But such is definitely not the case. When I was a kid the only cereal I would eat was called “Trix.” My preference had nothing at all to do with the flavor and everything to do with the shape (round), the colors (many), the way they floated (fun), and the way they crunched noisily in my mouth (interesting). A nice bowl of col orful Trix made me very happy. When I was eight or nine, I discov ered stuffing. Not plain stuffing, of course; it was stuffing with cold cranber ry jelly. My mother’s stuffing was tradi tional: bread crumbs, celery, onion and lots of basic herbs and spices — thyme, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper. The turkey or chicken juices saturated and softened the mixture so that it was a bit

TAKING COMFORT IN FOOP

gluey, which normally I didn’t like, but somehow, in this instance I did. I’d load up my fork half cranberry, half stuffing. Cold and sweet mixing it up with warm and spicy. Food heaven. Not all passion foods have to be complex; there are foods whose charms are totally inexplicable. Like popcorn. Is it the butter? The salt? The crunching? Eating it with your fingers? Eating it in the dark? While reading a book? Throwing pieces to the cat? It can’t really be the taste, since popcorn tastes more or less like nothing at all. In the last few months, I’ve had the opportunity to gain new insight into food’s magical powers. I’ve been intro ducing my one-year-old daughter to the joys of eating. A good deal of our time together is spent eating and drinking, and physical nourishment is only a part of what’s going on. Meals are about a lot more than filling her tummy; they are a time for self-expression, experimenta tion, communication and just plain fun. Already she seems to eat more hearti ly when I mix several textures and colors on her tray. She likes tofu because it is smooth, frozen peas because they are excitingly freezing and crunchy, yogurt because it is slimy. She won’t eat cold pasta; it has to be warm and soft. She likes to dangle pieces from her lips and then gradually suck them in. She likes to fingerpaint with sweet potato. Food preferences and tastes are already obvi ous. I have to balance the new with the familiar; too much new makes her suspi cious, too much of the same leads to boredom. Meals are also a time for quiet con templation — I see her turn inward as she presses a piece of warm toasted bagel topped with cream cheese lovingly to her lips. I know that look: She’s happy. By her delight she shows me that food is, well, magical. And that’s how I finally got it. Food is about nourishment, but not only of the body, of the soul as well: my baby Continued on page 3 2

BEHIND THE GREER VERDICT term s

Peter

Frevne

he federal “war on drugs” claimed another victory over the weekend as the jury in the Billy Greer case returned guilty verdicts Saturday against the five defendants in Vermont’s biggest drug trial in history. On paper, however, the vic tory for the prosecution was a mixed one. Billy Greer and Stephen Hutchins, portrayed by the government as the “master minds” of an international drug smuggling ring, were facing nine separate charges. The most serious one charged them with operating a “career criminal enterprise” — a crime that car ries a sentence of 20-years-tolife. Tom Cook, painted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David Kirby as their “trusted lieu tenant,” faced seven charges. And Greg Stevens and Glenn Koski, the “grunts” of the oper ation, faced just two charges. In the case of Greer, the jury of seven men and five women returned not guilty ver dicts on six of the nine charges. Hutchins was found not guilty on seven counts. Cook and Stevens were found guilty on two counts and Koski was found guilty on just one count. Following the verdict Saturday afternoon, all five defendants were immediately taken into custody and are being held at the state prison in St. Albans pending sentencing. According to attorneys, sen tencing could be as long as six months away.

Greer’s attorney Bob Kalina said, as did the other defense lawyers, that he intends to appeal the verdict. “Billy was stoic about it,” reported Kalina. “He accepts what happened. We’ve been of the belief we had a very fine jury and we still believe we had a very fine jury. We disagree with their verdict, as you would expect. One can’t be happy when your client gets convicted of some counts and wins some counts. The problem in multiple-count cases is that the punishment is there on any number of counts. Indeed, we won the biggest count, 20-tolife, but 10-years-to-life seems like a long time to me.” One juror, who spoke to Seven Days on condition of anonymity, said he felt the gov ernment “didn’t state their case

as well as it should have.” The juror said he felt the defendants had paid the price for their bungled 1991 hashish smug gling escapade in northern Quebec, but the jury was impressed by a Canadian docu ment authorizing the U.S. gov ernment to apply the U.S. Maritime Drug Act to Canadian waters. Kirby, the lead prosecutor who heads up the criminal divi sion at the Vermont office, declined to comment on the verdict, referring this reporter to the press release issued by his office. Except for Koski, all the defendants were found guilty of Count 1, conspiracy to import/export marijuana and hashish, and Count 4, violating the Maritime Drug Act by con

spiring “to have a United States citizen [Billy Greer] on board a vessel distribute and possess with intent to distribute hashish, a Schedule I controlled substance, on board a vessel subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” Greer was also found guilty of “the failure to file a currency transaction report,” a minor charge that requires citizens to file a customs form when tak ing more than $ 10,000 into Canada. Koski was only found guilty for violating the Maritime Drug Act. Koski’s attorney, Martin Maley, said he’s “fairly confi dent we have a good chance of overturning that on appeal. So for Mr. Koski, I think, it wasn’t all bad.” What the jury did not

know, said the male juror who spoke to Seven Days, was the jail sentences associated with the different counts. Conviction on the conspiracy charge to import/export illegal drugs car ries a mandatory 10-year mini mum sentence with no time off for good behavior. In fact, under strict federal sentencing guidelines, the amount of hashish involved in the group’s three off-loads in Canada could add another 10 years or more to their sentences. And under those guidelines, Greg Stevens — a former bartender at The Chickenbone and a St. Michael’s College graduate who was just a low-level worker on the off-loads and backpacking trips across the border — will C ontinued on page 33

antique dealers — he’s a carpenter, she works at the Sheldon and Maritime Museums — the Noordsys basically ►keep “selling up.” That is, evolving their person al collection by sacrific ing a few lesser pieces for a more valuable one. “It’s an addiction,” attests Jeff. “When you’re really broke you take everything in the house and start looking at what you could live without.” The coveting factor, he acknowl edges, “escalates badly.” Jeff also collects antique glass bottles, which he got interested in while “tearing apart an old building” and find ing them on the premises. Holly fell in love with stoneware during an internship at the Shelburne Museum sev eral years ago. Their interests are evident in the tidy 1840 farmhouse they call home: A phalanx of stoneware pots holds court in the living room, along with a modest assortment of woven baskets; amber and green bottles are arranged in neat symmetry in a window and a backlit corner hutch. Bur n o t all their collections are the age of their house: Framed vin tage rock posters claim the wall space. After Jeff and Holly gradu ated from Middlebury College and married, their collecting interests merged; now shared antiquing weekends are focused on stoneware and, to a lesser extent, on glass. More into quality than quantity, the cou ple maintains a personal collec tion of around 10 pieces of stoneware and 30 good bottles — even if the pieces keep changing — and an “officially for sale” inventory worth $2000-5000. The Noordsys more or less stay within the means of an “antique fund” they established early on. In two-and-a-half years, their collection has grown with their passion for it, and the self-taught pair has graduat ed from “entry-level” pieces to objects worth upwards of $500. “You can still find great deals,” Jeff says, noting that a “decent” piece of stoneware goes for

$300 to $400, but a really good one will set you back a grand. “There comes a point,” says Holly, “where they’re not just collectible; they’re a good investment.” Glass, on the other hand, is more affordable; although Jeff reports seeing someone pay $14,000 for a bottle at an auction, you can still get respectable ones for a mere five bucks. Stoneware is one of the most familiar antiques in Vermont — the vast majority of it was made in Bennington by the Norton Company throughout the 1800s. A simi lar style can be found around New England, the northern Atlantic states and over to Pennsylvania. The clay came mostly from New York and New Jersey, explains Holly, so the development of this type and style of pottery basically follows the waterways north and west, including Lake Champlain. The jugs, jars, wide mouthed crocks and butter churns were essential everyday objects, used primarily for long term storage of liquids 2fid pickled or salted foods prior to refrigeration. Salt poured in during the firing vaporized in the intense heat and left the pots with a smooth, easy-toclean surface. But the most distinctive, and prized, aspect of stoneware, besides shape, is the manufac turers’ stamps and decorations, these nearly always in a deep cobalt blue. The decorations are typically flower or bird motifs, but some unusual variations — like a “singing rooster” or nestling lovebirds — make the pot more valuable. “Earlier pieces have less color,” says Holly, “but have more desirable shapes.” Vermont stoneware is particularly desirable, and the Bennington Museum, with a splendid display of Norton’s, is a good place to learn about it. As is the case with most antiques, the current subjective value of these formerly quotidi an objects far exceeds what their original users paid for them — or thought of them. And it begs the question: Recycle — or save? ®

rush to reduce fat in their diet. In fact, a little fat is a good thing: the muscles prefer to burn fat over carbohydrates or protein, so athletes do need suffi cient fat to perform well, Tyzbir explains. In other words, the low-fat mantra offered a sedentary popu lation doesn’t necessarily apply to athletes training for a marathon, or even those playing field sports regularly. According to Tyzbir, what the athlete does need isn’t really that com plicated — the basic “food pyramid” diet with sufficient calories to maintain weight will usually do the trick. However, when rac Although sports drinks can ers try to prime work, the problem today is that their carburetors to “Americans believe that if a lit enhance perfor tle bit is good, more is better,” mance, nutritional Tyzbir says.

But that’s expensive, Tyzbir says, and most of the time, the over whelming majority of athletes don’t need it. The cost of sports drinks, energy bars and the newer gels — not to mention protein sup plements — seem to be what particularly rankles the UVM nutrition professor. “These are just gimmicks to get nutrients into an athlete’s body in a con venient form,” he says. “They’re no better and no worse than eating well and having food available — except for the cost.

In an age when sports nutrition books can become bestsellers, millions of athletes — from elite runners like Mitchell to weekend warriors on the tennis court — have come to view the human body as an engine that can be refu eled and primed like an Indy car.

f you’re looking for a reason to set out for Montreal this summer — besides maybe the casino and the lively Ste. Catherine Street — try one of the fabulous markets, or the marche. This is where the natives shop, and where the true character and diversity of the city can be found. Below are a few to get you started. Bon shopping!

FOOD

A MARCHE A DAY

Marche Atwater 138 avenue Atwater, (514) 937-7754, Metro Lionel-Groulx Built in 1932, the Marche Atwater stands as a tribute to Art Deco in Montreal. The 64 stalls offer produce, herbs and flowers from over 60 farmers. Produce is consistent year round, with imported Californian and Argentinian products gradually replaced with local produce as the season matures. In the spring, wild mushrooms, fiddleheads — tetes de violon — winter storage vegetables, hothouse tomatoes and hydroponic greens top the list of produce Quebe^ois. The fabulous boutiques are

headed up by the Premiere Moisson Boulangerie, a full ser vice bakery-cafe — the special combo dujour is a great option for the noon hour. Le Vrac du Marche sells the largest variety of dry goods of any market — several hundred bins offer all varieties of grains, ground or whole, pastas, legumes, soup and stock bases, and confec tions. It’s a good source for things like bulk arborio rice and semolina, as well as cous cous and lentils. The meat counters in the market will also catch your eye with their impressive colorful displays of sausages — the fuchsia beet, indigo cabbage, dark green spinach, pale green leek and red and yellow curries. On the lower level you’ll find several shops with the greatest selection of cheese and charcuterie, pates and forcemeats, of any of the public markets. The largest La Fromagerie du Marche Atwater has a large offering and knowledgeable staff who will assist and offer samples of anything you’re interested in. A good — though not great — selection of wine, mostly French, is available from the Societe d’Alcools du Quebec. By the way, there’s a Banque National ATM inside the marche at the south end. Marche Jean-Talon 7075 avenue Casgrain, (514) 937-7754, Metro Jean-Talon. In the last century the area around the Market Jean-Talon was predominately Irish and the market grounds were on the Shamrock Athletic Field. As the neighborhood turned Italian, the Marche du Nord, or North Market, took over the field and became the Marche Jean-Talon. Two hundred stalls and more

endive from Chile while next door they have local endive from Quebec at roughly the same price. You’ll find the freshest pro duce imaginable, from fava beans to celeriac, at the Marche Jean-Talon. In the spring one third of the stalls are devoted to plants and flowers. The only boutique associated with the marche is the Premiere Moisson bakery, but the shops that sur round the market offer an incredibly diverse selection of items. The best of these are the Italian butchers and dry goods, where you can buy everything from pasta, tomatoes and olive oil — including regional oils abruzzo and capobasso decanted from large stainless steel drums — to balsamic vinegar, olives and fresh mozzarellas. Get lunch at the Capitol Boucherie on the southwest corner of the market — they serve more than 15 kinds of Napoli Pizza, a kind offocaccia with every topping you could imagine, and 10 types of panzerotti, a pocket similar to calzone. The shops around the marche also sell a great selection of tropical fruits (many of which are not permitted across the border — see customs sidebar) and limited wines. Tataris Fish Market 155 avenue Beaumont, (514) 270-4342, Metro De Castelnau. Close to Jean-Talon, Tataris is the largest fish wholesaler in Montreal, but they do sell to the general public, and prices are displayed. Monday is the biggest day for fish, with trucks arriving well before dawn and finishing up by noon. Other days of the week are big for lobster or oysters — you can

at lunch, anyway — is as tasty as most diner fare only claims to be. The $4.95 Philly cheese steak is shreds of steak, sauteed onions and melted provolone spilling appetizingly from a sesame hoagie roll, with a pile of crispy fries and a bowl of confetti-bright, not-too-gloppy coleslaw. For dessert, the $2.25 German chocolate cake is a righteous slice of dense, sweet confection bristling with shredded coconut and topped with golden frosting studded with bits of nut. Sitting at the counter on a weekday lunch hour, you can watch a parade of equally appealing plates being passed from kitchen to dining room: the snowy mashed potato peaks crowning a shepherd’s pie; chefs salad topped with cigar-sized spears of cold cuts; a bowl of grapenut pudding finished off with a hearty dol lop of Cabots whipped cream. In addition to the usual diner offerings, the breakfast menu includes Canadian bacon, eggs Benedict, huevos rancheros and a three-egg “Mexican” omelette featuring guacamole, sour cream and salsa. In seven short years, food like this has earned Libby’s Blue Line legions of loyal fans.

cmsira.somMM Cosmos Diner, the newest addition to the greater Burlington diner scene, is real ly a former diner reborn and updated. “We’re trying to take the diner into the ’90s,” explains Steve Lipkin, who opened the Shelburne Road eatery with Jeff and Eric Lipkin, his brothers and Jim Glatz last February. Most recently, the building was home to Pepper’s Memphis Bar-B-Q. But before that it was Wesson’s Diner. Roadside Magazine, a monthly pitched at diner enthusiasts, hailed the rebirth. But can the Route 7 restaurant — with its neon coffee cup beckoning to motorists, its eclectic menu and space-age lounge — really be considered a dined Executive chef Pat Murphy, who also develops recipes for Coyote’s Cafe in Burlington and The Old Dockhouse in Essex, New York — both owned by the Lipkin/Glatz partnership — created Cosmos’ amalgamated menu. “Big portions o f Homemade, wholesome food” share the bill with “some gourmet-type items you wouldn’t see at a diner,” Lipkin points out. Cosmos’ traditional diner fare includes macaroni and cheese, turkey dinner and chicken pot pie. Ask for the

p a g*ew 3D- " "

meatloaf platter and you’ll receive a huge plate of moist, fresh-tasting loaf and potatoes mashed with their skins, topped with rich, brown gravy and flanked by fresh vegeta bles. The mile-high apple pie a la mode is a two-inch tower of apple slices under a rippling, golden crust and a ball of Ben & Jerry’s cinnamon ice cream. Among the less traditional offerings are red curry mussels, wild mushroom salad, “cedar plank” salmon — roasted and served on an actual cedar shin gle — and shrimp tempura cocktail, a high-concept dish featuring battered prawns clinging to the rim of a marti ni glass filled with wasabi may onnaise. In fact, non-traditional items — or end-of-the-millennium twists on traditional dishes, like French toast made with banana bread and pizza made With cornflour crust—are so dom inant at Cosmos that some purists might not consider the establishment a ditier at all. At how many “real” diners can you run in for a quick double shot of Speeder & Earl’s decaffeinated, iced latte to go? W hat kind of “real” diner would provide live jazz Thursday nights and martini-and-cigar parties on Fridays? For that matter, what self-respecting “real” diner would have an “executive chef,” or a head cook who was trained at the Culinary Institute of America, as was Cosmos’ Todd Raymond? Despite these eccentricities, those is search of the true diner experience can find a lot of what they’re looking for at Cosmos. The setting, at the back of a parking lot along Vermont’s busiest strip, is the quintessential diner location. The original 1950s Worcester prefab is still intact and plenty authentic, from the yellow and grey ceramic tiled floor to the yellow striped chrome foun tain stools, the Formica counter and the individual jukeboxes at the booths. Also in keeping with the diner tra dition, Cosmos’ portions are generous and its prices are modest though perhaps slightly less so than at other local diners. And the clientele does seem to reflect the comfortable cross-section of the communi ty you expea to find bellying up to the counter, "Were try ing to appeal to a broad class of people, from the truck dri ver — pardon the stereotype — to the family and young professionals,” says Lipkin. “You wouldn’t expect to see a family from Charlotte pulling up to a [typical] diner in a BMW.” ®

253-3993, Metro Pie IX. Built from 1912-14, the Marche Maisonnueve is a beautiful example of the Beaux Arts movement in Montreal, and is more relaxed than JeanTalon or Atwater. A dozen or so vendors sell produce and flowers outside, but most of the action takes place indoors. The building is open like a big hanger, with 20 or so bou tiques. There are several places to get a good sandwich — you’ll see many locals sitting down for a bite. A shop called Merci carries a few wines and a good selection of dry and canned goods, including more than 12 kinds of rice and numerous teas.

Marche Faubourg 1616 rue Ste. Catherine Ouest, (514) 939-3663, Metro Peel. The Marche Faubourg sits on the ground floor of one city block in downtown Montreal. Inside is a produce section much like those in bigger gro cery stores. Many small shops make up this mini-mall, including a butcher, a fish monger, cheese and charcuteries. Here you can find one of the best wine selections in Montreal at the Societe d’Alcools du Quebec. The Marche Faubourg is a good option if you’re going to be downtown, but is not worth a special trip. Marche de Pouest 11600 de Salabery, Dollarddes-Ormeaux, (514) 6850119. This one’s a little farther

out of town: Take Route 40 north to the Boul des Source’s east exit and follow the sign. The Marche de l’ouest, or Western Market, is a yearround indoor affair with a few outdoor vendors in the sum mer. It’s bigger indoors than the other markets, with several shops each for cheese, charcuterie, bakery, fishmonger and butcher. There is a Societe d’Alcools du Quebec wine store with over 2000 varieties from around the world — but don’t look too hard for California wines. The food court has Italian and Greek takeout, as well as a cafe attached to the fish market Peche Peche, with great daily lunch specials. The produce shop, Plantation, is one of the largest varieties of any market. This market has a relaxed, sub urban feel. ®

I ITALIAN RESTAURANT I BRINGING IT HOME: CUSTOMS Chances are you’ll be able to bring home purchases from the markets, but it’s a quali fied yes. Customs officials look for specific things — don’t try to hide anything, because they’ll find it. You can ask about a questionable item when you declare and possibly end up surrendering it, but if you’re caught lying, expect a fine of at least $50 and maybe an additional penalty from * the USDA. Certain items are left up to the discretion of the

officerson

duty, and if you’re up front with them they may cut you some slack. An individual staying fewer than 48 hours in • Canada may take home $200 worth of merchandise — including up to four ounces of alcohol — duty-free. Stay more than 48 hours and the limit jumps to $400 — and up to one liter o f alcohol. After the exemption, your

purchases will be charged at different duty rates depending

on the item. Items usually permitted are most U.S. ori gin produce, bananas, pre pared foods, meats, fish and cheeses. Don’t bother attempting to take the following items across the border: most tropi cal fruit not of U.S. origin, green apples, mangos, coconuts, Asian pears, persim mons, pliuim, p«aafines, all citrus, Basmati rice, American ginseng, any biological items or anything of questionable origin. -R.L.

ALL YOU CAN FAT

C ontinued from page 19 shows me that. Everyone who spends time with babies knows that every thing new goes in the mouth; the child experts call it the “oral” period. The mouth has a kind of indepen dent intelligence, like that which Fingers later develop. There is a delicious poetic metaphor in this: Babies take in the entire world indiscriminately, as if it were all food. Gradually, the baby learns to distinguish the edible from the inedible and to determine tex ture and feel in other ways. In our culture we keep experience at arms length from our bod ies, relying most heavily on vision and hearing. Depending too openly on our more viscer

al senses, taste and smell, becomes “impolite.” (One of my brothers even now prefers to sniff new things, but he’s learned to be quite subtle about it.)

adult delight in discovering new foods and enjoying old favorites. Anyhow, I suspect I am not so different from my baby. I only seem different because my food delights have become more complex. I have graduated from Trix, thank goodness, and now seek out fancy coffees, obscure cheeses, and unexpected combinations of tastes and textures to make me happy. Although my present devotion to sushi is singleminded and extreme, it’s inevitable that one day Eli fall in love with some thing new. But unlike romances 'with people where you have to break up when you fall in love with someone else, with food passions you never have to say good-bye. You can have them all. ®

face the same jail time as the ringleaders. Stevens’ attorney, Mark Keller, explained that sentenc ing guidelines consider the quantity of drugs in the case, and that since the Maritime Act ties in the Canadian con duct, the defendants “are liter ally off the chart... It puts them at the top end.” The federal guidelines’ max imum allowance for hashish smuggling is 6000 kilos, said Keller. The three Canadian off loads — two in 1989 totaling 50 tons of hash and the one in 1991 that went awry — totaled 110 tons, more than 100 tons over the maximum in the fed eral sentencing guidelines. “The problem with that,” said the former Chittenden County State s Attorney, “is my client is treated by the guide lines the same as the top guys are. In state court the judge can take into account numerous things about the persons back ground. In federal court the ' judges’ hands are tied to a great extent. Keller noted that judges should be trusted to make the right decisions. “Congress has said we don’t trust the judges,” he said. “We’re not going to let them make those decisions, and so I think that’s the problem with the drug laws.” The drug laws Keller

observed reading it at the defense table during the trial that marijuana symbolized for Reagan supporters “the weakness and permissiveness of a liberal society; it was held responsible for the slovenly appearance of teenagers and their lack of motivation.” Carlton Turner, Reagans first drug czar, believed that marijuana was inextricably linked to “the present young adult generation’s involvement in anti-military, anti-nuclear power, anti-big business, anti authority demonstrations,” the article continued, adding that a public health approach to drug control was replaced by an emphasis on law enforcement, ’•.v'A-sv

passed tougher drug laws every election year, with bipartisan support. In 1995 Sen. Phil Gramm proposed denying wel fare benefits and food stamps to anyone convicted of a drug crime — including a misde meanor. Even liberals like Paul Wellstone of Minnesota and Patrick Leahy of Vermont endorsed Gramms proposal. The result of the tougher federal drug laws has not been a decrease in illegal drug use. Witness the recent suspensions and expulsions of more than 50 students at South Burlington High School for marijuana and LSD use.

In something to do with eating. Alfred Hitchcock’s Frenzy There are some interesting (1972), the director counter theories behind all this, like the points the graphic horror of the idea that movies return us to rest of the film with some very the satiated dream state we first experienced falling asleep at our mother’s breast. Practically, though, movie makers and movie exhibitors have always understood how the eyes, stom ach and pocketbook connect. It’s a well-known fact that the aters tend to make their greatest profits from concessions rather than ticket sales. And on the screen, our common experience with food and eating make them an incredibly versatile dramatic locus. Take, as an example, come dy. Film comedy routines involving food or eating have been a staple since the earliest days of the movies, carrying forward the roughhouse tradi tions of the vaudeville stage. The all-out anarchy of a pie fight is synonymous with slap stick in many people’s mind, and scenes in which people throw food or drop food or slip on food have remained a con stant in films which can trace their roots to slapstick farce, from Blake Edward’s 1968 The Party— starring Peter Sellers in one of his best performances — to National Lampoon’s Animal House o f 1978.

child, and one of the main characters is a grocer, as was his dad. In the film, the subtext of eating suggests the darker hungers propelling human behavior. Hitchcock, as most people know now, was himself not immune from such darker yearnings, which had as their source a deep wellspring of repressed feelings about sex and women. Fortunately, he had two means for sublimating them: making movies and eating. In far less sinister ways, numerous films have traced the connection between gustatory and sexual gratification, what ever that connection is, or how ever it is to be understood. Food’s fabled aphrodisiacal qualities spice up the fantasy of Alfonso Arau’s Like Water for Chocolate, and food and sex form the parallel narrative tracks along which run the plot of a number of recent films, including The Story of Boys and Girls (1996). In addition, the sexual innuendo of the act of eating has formed the basis of any number of deliciously bawdy movie moments. Undoubtedly, the best such moment is to be found in Tony Richardson’s delightful adaption of Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones (1963). Food and its preparation serve as metaphors for things other than sex in other movies. In Peter Greenaway’s infamous The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, & Her Lover {1990 ), the culi nary arts are a symbol of the the ultimate refinement of man’s carnal nature, as civiliza tion itself. Babettes Feast (1987) explores the wonderful paradox by which carnal delight can be the vehicle for spiritual trans port. In films like Eat Drink Man Woman (1995) and the recently released Big Night, food and its preparation are identified with a kind of cultur al or racial integrity threatened by forces of commercialism and assimilation.

While allopathic and naturopathic physicians agree there is no indication that treating a recurrence of herpes will prevent future outbreaks or decrease risk of infection to partners, there are several ways to minimize outbreaks which can lead to transmission of the virus. “Treatments can take one of two forms,” says Dr. Dennis Plante, associate professor of medicine and an internist with Primary Care Internal Care in Wiiliston. Medicine/Fletcher Allen Health Cate •mauc treatment for recurrences, and “One is symptomatic the alternative is long-term suppressive therapy to prevent recurrences.” Plante says prescription drugs such as acyclovir (brand name Zovirax) can be pro cured from a doctor to alleviate outbreaks, but pre venting frequent recurrences often entails addressing underlying health problems or behaviors, such as stress, that can make you more susceptible to flare-ups. “When you look at people who have recurrent outbreaks, there seems to be a correlation between stress and recurrences,” Plante says. “A prudent diet and a multivitamin... are valuable, but stress-reduc tion is probably key, because stress has been shown to suppress the immune system.” Naturopathic physician Lorilee Schoenbeck, of the Lake Champlain Center for Holistic Medicine in Shelburne, agrees that its important to identify the cause of an outbreak was well as treat the symptoms. “JJ somebody keeps treating the symptoms and they dont deal with their underlying health, they cannot necessarily keep the virus from expressing itself,” she says. In general, people need to focus on the usual good-health issues like nutrition, exercise and stressreduction. There is evidence that simple carbohy drates, foods high in sugar or food allergens can trig ger outbreaks, so evaluating your diet with a physi cian or nutritionist might be helpful. ; According to Schoenbeck, many anti-viral herbs, like licorice root, lysine, St. Johns wort, oat straw, lomatium and golden seal, can also alleviate syrupr toms or prevent recurrences. , Because herpes can be transmitted through sexual contact even when a person is not experiencing an evident outbreak, it is important to practice safe sex with uninfected partners. Schoenbeck notes that learning how to minimize recurrences will benefit the health of a person infected with herpes as well as an uninfected sexual partner. It’s also important to remember that, while cop ing with the discomfort and inconvenience of genital herpes may be difficult at first, the stigma often attached to this disease is unwarranted. . “Herpes is not the worst disease in the world, says Schoenbeck. u ts no differentth^Lanypthc virus, and people who feel bjjjabout themseh having the virus need to know that its. gnonon impact their lives."® 'V ' ' |f t

A R I E S (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): T he world will be awash in omens for you this week, Aries. Here’s a rundown o f just a few o f the oracular meanings you may encounrer. Seeing a squashed bee in a place far from any flowers suggests you should stick closer to your source o f sweetness. Spying an empty bag o f potato chips in a fountain means you should protect the sacred parts o f your life from being tainted by profane trivia and dross. Overhearing someone in a public place say “If that’s not immortality, what is?” implies you should be more alert for and open your m ind wider to long-lasting things. T A U R U S (Apr 20-M ay 20): I here’s more teasing than pleasing going on around here if you ask me — and you seem to be bearing the brunt of it. W ant my advice? Y O U 'RE T O O DAM N C O U R TE O U S! So stop taking maybe for an answer. Negotiate with a wilder look in your eye. Study the bargaining techniques o f three-yearolds so you won’t be outgunned by adults acting like toddlers. This is one time when nice guys really will finish last. Even worse, nice guys will end up slaving away in service to dreams they don’t believe in. G E M I N I (May 21-June 20): Born June 5, 1878, Plancho Villa was a rowdy Mexican version o f Robin Hood, fighting tirelessly in behalf o f poor and disenfranchised people. Being an

to dramatize and advertise all your exploits so they have maximum impact on the most people. C A N C E R (June 21 -July 22): In the trite old m etaphor about the transformation o f a homely, earthbound caterpillar into a beautiful winged creature, a crucial detail is always left out: T he butterfly is weak and helpless when it first struggles free o f its cocoon. For a while it’s lucky if it’s not eaten by a predator. Let that be a lesson to you as you prepare for your own metamorphosis. Before you starr spinning your chrysalis, make sure that when you emerge from it, you’ll be in a protective sanctuary surrounded by vigilant nurturers. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): June is traditionally the m onth for marriages and graduations. After studying your astrological aspects, I won’t be surprised if you’re about to enjoy events with a resemblance to both these rituals. It’s quite possible your marriage will experience som ething like a graduation, for instance. O r maybe the completion o f a phase o f your education will prepare you and free you for a vigorous new alliance. W hatever it turns out to be, I can in confidence proclaim mazel

surprised me with their pithy fluency. Her power to listen was so masterful, in other words, that it awakened in me understandings that normally lay halfdorm ant. Alas, she died in 1995- This m onth her last book o f short stories, Danger Wall M ay Fall has finally been published. I pray that the wonder worker you’ll encounter, Virgo, will give you the same gift o f inspiration that Lynn blessed me with. L I B R A (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I want to prove to you that your fate depends at least as much on your own willpower as on cosmic whimsy. Are you game? Then try the following exercise. Imagine that you’ve time-traveled three and a half m onths into the future. From that perspective, write an essay entitled, “How I Made Myself a Better, Smarter, Happier Person during the Summer o f 1997.” Send this document, along with a self-addressed stamped envelope, to: Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, Box 150247, San Rafael, CA 94915. I’ll mail it back to you in mid-September. S C O R P I O (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): So after all this time, God and the Devil decided to get together and compare notes about you. You can imagine how shocked they both were when they

many of the same ways. God, for instance, Has always believed that stimulating your talent for activat other people’s abilities would even

S A G I T T A R I U S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In your dreams this week, the Three Stooges become astronauts and rocket their way to Venus, the planet o f love. As soon as they land, they help a talking unicorn extricate its horn from a cleff in a cliff. In gratitude, the unicorn carries them across the Lake o f Diet Pepsi to the lair of the planet’s om nipotent ruler and love god, who is played by none other than YOU! You wisely turn the Stooges inco your court jesters, and order them to teach you how to add more hijinks and jokes to your romantic rituals. They oblige you so devotedly and you learn so eagerly that soon your sex life enjoys 10 times as m uch laughter as it ever did before. C A P R I C O R N (Dec 22-Jan. 19): A man fell our o f a fortieth story window. As he plunged past a window on the twentieth floor, a colleague saw him and shouted, “Are you OK?” T he man called back, “So far, so good.” I m ention this story not because there’s a complete correlation between you and the nosediver. You’re nowhere near such dire straits. I mean yes, you m ight be felling, but not from such a dizzying height. And besides, there’s an old but pretty sturdy safety net waiting for you

W ashington. If you want too m uch sex, go into the fashion business. And if you want the whole poison cocktail in one glass, go to Hollywood.” Now here’s a quote from me: “If you want a wild sense o f inner peace, love yourself ingeniously. If you want crazy wisdom that fuels overflowing creativity, dare to be your most generous self If you w ant educational love that keeps you guessing in the most pleasurable way, lose some o f your self-importance. If you w ant th e whole nutritious cocktail, forget about being greedy for money, power or sex.” P I S C E S (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): My daughter attends rhe same school as the kids o f Grateful Dead bass player Phil Lesh (who happens to be a Pisces), so I get to see him in roles other than the one he became famous for. Recently I spotted him in a performance staged at a local auditorium . It was “T he Sacred Dram a o f Eleusis,” a dramatic presentation o f an ancient mystery play, Phil played the part o f Pluto, Lord o f Hades. Seeing him rule over his underworld dom ain with majestic poise, I said a silent prayer that all you other Pisceans m ight come to a similar relationship w ith the shadowy world o f your u n c o n s d o u s .N o ta s a v ie ftp ^ d f scary unpredictability, in other wc but as a sovereign overseeing a storehouse o f rid —

Dear Lola, I have been in a lov ing and supportive, monogamous relationship with a wonderful man for well over a decade, and recently we have had a beautiful child togeth er. We love cur child and each other deeply and are best friends. But sometimes I feel like a wicked person is hiding inside me, fantasizing about finding a woman soulmate to discreetly explore the mysteries of feminine sensuality that are so different from the heterc erotic life. I had a brief exploratory experi ence with a woman previ ous to this relationship and find myself longing for something sensuously similar. I don’t want to lose him or cur life together... or myself. What do you suggest? Bi in Burlington Dear Bi, Instinctively, I say tell him what you’re thinking. But be prepared for one of two things: the f ratboy response, which is the desire to watch two babes get it on; or the pained partner, who will ask if you want to sacri fice the sanctity of the relationship for a sexual fantasy. Unless you’re both ready to live a Noel Coward play, you have to make a decision and live with it. With love,
