YOU SAY T O M A T O . . . Contrary to Warren Schultz's screed [Weed It and Reap, June 30], growing heirloom tomatoes in short season climates is not impossible, though it may be an art. As a horticulturist — or at least someone who seesfitto pass himself off as one in print — Mr. Schultz should know that there are heirloom tomatoes bred even for just such forbidding climes as Vermont's: Moskvich, a tomato bred for growing in Siberian summers, is one. And while kvetching about how Mortgage Lifter, Green Zebra and Radiator Charlie are all too delicate...for the real cold, cruel northern New England world — despite the fact of the now 25-year-old Johnnys Select Seeds of Albion, Maine, being one of the big purveyors of such effete yet long-lived strains — Mr. Shultz should perhaps keep a few things in mind: 1. Some summers, your tomatoes are doomed. This is what happens when people try to trick a ground vine, which really would rather be crawling along a Central American coast, into saying "Big Boy" 300 times in four weeks in Huntington or Lincoln 2. That said, one can have ridiculous success some years. A few years ago, my mother-in-law and I

planted a spate of heirloom tomato varieties at 1300 feet in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Several of the most glamorous of the hoped-for varieties produced copious foliage and not a single fruit, but one variety in particular, Brandywine, of which we had perhaps 6-8 plants, flooded us with its truly big-assed, almost-pink tomatoes 3. Mr. Shultz's argument is also a little like saying, "Boy, those Disney movies are the best — look at how many people go for 'em without even thinking about John O'Brien! Doesn't that prove it?"... Mostly troublingly, Mr. Schultz's sneering take on why hybrid tomatoes have won the varietal "selection heats" shows a fair amount of illiteracy about the history of agribusiness and its influence in what seeds are sold. This is like saying that the car or the tractor won fair and square. Indeed, if one overlooks the machinations of the corporations which manufactured the "popular winners" — buying up and destroying workhorse breeds; dismantling flourishing urban cablecar systems after buying them; tying seed-strains to inorganic pesticides and fertilizers — such victories really do look rosy and democratic, don't they?

D O N ' T BLAME T H E TEACHERS All too often the School Board tries to blame the problems at Hyde Park Elementary School on the teachers. Of course, it is hogwash to blame the teachers. Even if it were true, then the School Board should resign for not providing the leadership they were elected to do. As things stand, the School Board should resign for allowing our school to deteriorate the way it has.

I would be the patron saint of cheesecake. — Jodi Corbett Waitress at Espresso Colchester

I know my argument for heirloom seeds seems overly moralistic and lifestyle-based. It's also an argument based in some sanguinity about tradition and some humility before the mysteries of "managing" living processes. If one wants assured success, if indeed one sees gardening as analogous to racing cars, Mr. Shultz's advice is wholly sound. But, if one got into gardening as an adventurous, aesthetically pleasing antidote to mass-produced crops, perhaps one might accept the chance of a less than 100 percent return on colorful and quirky vegetables in favor of flavor, nutrition, variety and the art of gardening. The strains Mr. Shultz so gleefully disparages represent fruits and vegetables which developed to suit local tastes and conditions and were proven over centuries. The strains Mr. Schultz moons over were whacked out by chemists at corporate seed houses to suit postWWII American ideas of efficiency and clock-like regularity. If uncertainty scares your inner gardener, Mr Shultz, perhaps you had better stick to the calming safety of lawns. — Reese Hersey Charlotte

lines." Gross says it's really hard to keep up, "especially in the south end where some of that stuff grows like a jungle." Tarzan would feel right at home along some stretches, no question. Let's hope the crew starts trimming at Dead Man's Corner. Sooner the better. Meanwhile, be careful out there and, for chrissakes, keep right, not left! And remember, it's okay to run the snobby, body-beautiful Rollerbladers off the bike path! Just kidding about the Rollerbladers. Honest. Kangaroo Justice — T h e Burlington City Council has whacked Red Square, Burlaps hippest downtown night spot of the moment, with a twoday liquor license suspension (July 30-31) and a two-day suspension of its entertainment permit (July 28-29). T h e 13 kangaroos (Councilor Bill Stahl recused himself) found Red Square guilty of Wm*' . two of the four alleged firecode violations.

In this world of ours there's no shortage of exit strategies. You can get shot in the back of the head and dumped in a mass grave, waste away unconscious in a bed, crash your private plane into the Atlantic or fall off your bicycle. Last year, say city officials, there was just one fatality on Burlington's spectacular lakefront bike path. A 60-year-old gentleman flew off the pavement and onto rocks near the urban reserve south of N o r t h Beach. Broke his neck. Subsequently, that stretch was straightened out and repaved. Great. As a born-again bike-rider, yours truly has discovered the pleasures of pedaling along the shore of our Great Lake. But there are risks. For one thing, the bike path gets pretty narrow in parts, and sharing the right-ofway with Rollerbladers, joggers and walkers can be quite the i? challenge. We're especially fond It could have been a whole of the folks who follow the lot worse.

Inside Track

Birds are meant to fly. People aren't. Approaching the blind corner from the north, we hit the brakes as usual. It's also become a habit to ring the bell to alert oncoming traffic. But it didn't matter. W h e n it's your time, it's your time, and Monday morning was our time. As we rolled into the critical zone, a northbound cyclist whipped around the corner. In that flash of a second, he looked like a fortysomething professional with a surplus of blubber around the belly. And he wore a helmet. He even smiled and said, "Good morning!" Unfortunately, he was in my lane when he said it, six feet dead ahead and closing! To avoid a collision, yours truly swung to the right, leaving the pavement. As we corrected and turned hard left to avoid hitting the fence headon, we noticed that the builders of the bike path had regrettably skimped a wee bit on asphalt. They neglected to fill in the entire section of abandoned railroad track that cuts through the middle of Dead Man's Corner. Over the handlebars we flew and smacked the pavement with the crack of a Jesse Ventura body slam. T h e friendly bicyclist who'd forced us off the path just kept pedaling. Gravity, as usual, prevailed. But no broken bones, just a couple bruises that by Tuesday shone proudly with all the colors of the rainbow. Hey, at least my last name's not Kennedy. Parks and Rec Director Wayne Gross tells Inside Track there's no way to keep a handle on all the bike path accidents. "We hear about them anecdotally," he says. Next m o n t h , says Gross, a crew is coming in "to go from one end of the seven-mile bike path to the other to clear brush, trim trees and do whatever needs to be done to improve sight

BernieWatch 2000 — T h e political director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee tells Inside Track he expects Congressman Bernie Sanders to decide any minute on challenging Sen. James Jeffords in a 2000 senate showdown. "We'll know within days," says Jim Jordan, "certainly by the end of the month." Does he think Ol' Bernardo will do it? "It's 50-50," he replies. "Too close to call." Last week Jeezum Jim pulled off a gutsy master stroke venturing behind enemy lines into Burlington's Northgate Apartments. Northgate is the shining example of tenant-owned affordable housing, a jewel in the Sanderista crown. Local housing advocates sang Jims praises for his support of affordable housing legislation. "They're my people, too," said Jeffords with a wink. JFK Jr. — Don't tell anyone, but I caught myself yelling at my T V set again last weekend. "Anybody gonna check to see if Junior bought gas lately?" We aren't familiar with the pilots and passengers of all the other planes that have crashed this year. But the whole world knows Junior and wife and sister-in-law got the call Saturday. W h e n it's time to go, it's time to go. Death is forever just around the corner. Lessons for the living? Pause for one split second. Take a deep breath. O n e more. Shortly after his wife suddenly received death's call, Mike Royko, Chicago's legendary columnist, put it this way: "If there's someone you love, but haven't said so in a while, say it now. Always, always, say it now."

King of the Road

In rating and radiof Ken Squier is right on Iratk B Y PAULA ROUTLY

wenty years ago, Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough were neck and neck in the final lap of the Daytona 500 when they collided at 190 miles an hour on the back stretch, about a mile before the finish line. Not only did they survive the wreck — Richard Petty went on to win the race — but they came out fighting. Each other. The announcer, Vermonter Ken Squier, delivered the blowby-blow in a live television broadcast that changed auto racing forever.

Up until that point, television execs had never thought of circling stock cars as entertainment — except to recap the fiery highlights as sensationalist filler. But Squier knew otherwise from growing up trackside in the geared-up Green Mountains.

Then a CBS sports announcer, he helped convinced the network to give the sport the air time it deserved. The ratings soared. "That was middle America saying, 'This is what we identify with, these are our heroes," says 64-year-old Squier, whose national celebrity has grown apace with the popularity of stock car racing, organized by NASCAR. What was once considered a step up from televised contour plowing is now the number-two televised sport in America. Everyone agrees Squier was in the right place at the right time. But the role of national media mogul is not one he cultivates. You would never guess from his windowless office in Waterbury that he is on good terms with guys like veteran racer Petty, actor Paul Newman, downhill racer Franz Klammer and musi-

cian Delbert McClinton. "He is as big in auto racing as you can get," says Bob Bahre, co-owner of the New Hampshire speedway that recently hosted the Winston Cup. "But it hasn't gone to his head, you know what I mean? Success hasn't destroyed him. He is still a shit kicker." That comes through loud and clear on WDEV-AM, which Squier proudly describes as one of the last remaining "cow stations" in Vermont. He inherited the radio property from his father, Lloyd, and has made very few programming changes since the "Old Squier" died in 1979. "Music to Go to the Dump By," by far the most eccentric and irreverent program on Vermont radio, is Squier's personal favorite on Saturday morning. In the world of "big box" broadcast monopolies, DEV is the radio equivalent of a general store: use-

ful, eclectic, labor-intensive and endangered. Squier calls it "relevant radio," as opposed to "putting a box of records on." And he intends to uphold that vision, even if it means subsidizing his stations with his out-of-state earnings — he also owns WDEV-FM in Warren, WLVBFM in Morrisville, WCVT-FM in Stowe and W K D R in Burlington. As much as he excels in auto racing, Squier's first love is broadcasting "news of your neighbors" — a charge he inherited from Dad. "We like to tie it into the community as much as we can," says program director Jack Donovan. "The cracker barrel is there, and we kind of sit around and talk with local folks." No doubt that is what inspires Squier to call in to Waterbury twice a day, from wherever he is in the world, to

host a live sportscast that airs on 96.1 FM out of Warren and 550 AM from Waterbury. Supplied with scores faxed to him from the home office, he blends national and local sports news with egalitarian enthusiasm. "He'll be doing the time trials in Daytona and have Buddy Baker with him. Then he'll switch to the Vermont Expos," says WCAX-TV reporter Anson Tebbetts, who grew up milking cows to the sound of DEV and later became its news director. The populist values that drove Squier to auto racing in the first place keep him rooted, and fully committed, to Vermont. Nowhere is that more apparent than at Thunder Road — the racetrack Squier built 40 years ago and still co-owns with Tom Curley. Perched above the quarter-mile circle of asphalt, you can watch the sunset, and the

That meant "you the law. had to prove you were meeting the needs of your community," young Squier explains. "What were you doing for women? What were you doing for minorities? Here in Vermont it was agricultural. We had a microphone on Governor Wills desk in the 30s. That was a real issue with my dad." He also practiced an early form of public access. Surrounding towns like Waitsfield, Montpelier and Barre had weekly hour-long shows. "There'd be e 'gHt bands a day, and they

After World War II, stock car racing caught on all over the country — there were five tracks in the Burlington area alone. "Everybody had come home and they just needed to get their rocks off," Squier says. And before roll bars and fuel cells became mandatory safety features, driving a tin can down a fast dirt track was not unlike going into battle. Squier saw lots of guys go up in flames, and one spectator literally lose his head — in Essex Junction.

Squier tried it behind the wheel for a couple of years. He lost some teeth and broke a few ribs before he realized he was having more luck maneuvering a mike. "It was an either-or situation, and announcing came relatively easy," he explains. "Naturally, you always want to do the other." His parents were relieved, to say the least. "Neither of them thought it was a such a hot idea, and the way I drove, they were probably right."

here's no crotch belt on the passenger side of Squier s sports utility vehicle, but you still feel like you're on a racetrack riding shotgun to Thunder Road. Squier creeps right up on people's bumpers, then cuts sharply left to pass. Cursing occasionally, he is on a racing reminiscence roll. Not only does he have the scoop on virtually every big-name driver since the Depression, he is a Vermont racing genealogist. Tonight Thunder Road is honoring 18-year-old Jen Bigelow, whose grandfather raced on the track's opening day 40 years go. Squier communicates with his fans in audio clips — a phenomenon that never ceases to amaze his Australian-born wife, who raises sheep on their 30-acre farm in Stowe. "People come up to him in airports and say, 'Gee, remember how Kenny Schrader got wedged between someone and someone on the fourth turn? And they all remember,'" Elizabeth says with disbelief. "You feel like you are in a totally separate reality. It's like they're talking in code." But for all the racing trivia Squier seems to have at his fingertips, he's fuzzy on details about his own history. Like how he found his way back to Vermont after four years at Boston University and built Thunder Road, at age 26. Like the exact ages of his two children, Ashley Jane and Travis Graham. And by what means he and then-partner Tom Cooley came up with the cash to construct a 9000-seat amphitheater that would bring hundreds of Vermont racers up through the ranks. "All I know is we kept adding grandstands every week," he says. "And the day it opened, 40 years ago, we tied up traffic through town all the way to the BarreMontpelier Road." Squier was busy quelling crowds and doing radio work when he got an invitation to announce at Daytona in 1965 — he's been a regular at what he calls "redneck high holy days" ever since. His debut performance led to some pit reporting for ABC, a job on the short-lived Sports Illustrated television show and on CBS as a Charles Kuraltstyle sports reporter. He did halftime features, ski races — "everything from body building to speed skating" — before he met producer Fred Rheinsten at a bicycle race in California.

"He is as big in

*** Togetherein 1980, they decided to form their own televi- ? sion production company that * "*>. could shoot, edit and package sporting events for cable and network clients. It elevated Squier from a face-for-hire to a sports entertainment broker. "At the time stock car racing was coming along, there weren't a lot of people in New York who knew about it," Squier explains. World Sports was able to hit the ground running, with a half-hour weekly racing feature on the Turner network. His Atlanta-based company will produce 115 events this year, for clients that include CBS, ABC, NBC, TBS, T N N , Speed Vision and ESPN. The work kept Squier close to the action, and he hooked up with a number of hot-wheel Hollywood types, including Hal Needham, who did stunt work for Paul Newman and Burt Reynolds before he got into directing. When he ran the idea for Smokey and the Bandit by his friend Ken, "I told him it was the dumbest idea I have ever heard in my life," Squier recalls with a chuckle. Needham gave him a bit part in the sequel, and in subsequent movies, including Stoker Ace, Hooper, Cannonball Run and Rod. Squier also came along for the ride when Needham was trying to build a vehicle that could break the sound barrier — a rocket car. The first attempt, on a dry lake in Nevada, nearly killed Needham, who was at the controls. But at Edwards Air Force Base in 1979, it was a different story. Clocked at 733 miles an hour, with the blessing of fighter pilot Chuck Yeager, the car blasted off to a permanent position at the Smithsonian Museum. Squier got it all on film. There was one other lucky break that put Squier out front. On a trip to Australia in 1981, he discovered the in-car camera — a device that revolutionized race reporting as much as that first footage of Daytona. Getting inside the car, and seeing through the eyes of the driver, transformed the audience experience of stock car racing. Not even the best announcer could make the crowd really set.

"People sat back and said, 'Oh, my heart. There really is something to this,'" Squier says. "They would be up under each other's bumpers, running less than a half second apart. That is pretty tight stuff. All of a sudden stock car racing became a fantasy sport, as opposed to a reality sport. Those are the ones that get the ratings."

t doesn't take much in the way of high-tech coercion to get a crowd in the grandstand at Thunder Road. Getting them to clap is another matter — it's a no-bullshit crowd that foregoes beer to better focus. Many of them know the racers personally.

that pick up conversations between the drivers and members of their teams. Squier both fits in and stands out in a denim jacket and low-slung cowboy boots. He is tall and long-legged, with a handsome, slightly weathered face. Despite all those years on camera, he seems a little shy, especially when called upon to talk about himself. He is a smooth, soft-spoken operator with a wicked sense of humor. A live promo for the "The Roadkill Cafe" show on Saturday morning gives you a taste of it.

your average joe. Squier looks, and sounds, just like what he is: the one that got away without ever really leaving. That gives him access to both the woodchuck crowd and the symphony set — and the politics to match. The "Old Squier" was conservative, and his son shares that same fiscal restraint. "He's frugal," Donovan sums it up. But on the subjects of lifestyle and land use, Squier, who lives in Stowe, is pretty liberal. Using Switzerland as an example, he supports regulations to protect small-scale agriculture in Vermont. Rhetorically, he suggests, "I would have to be independent, wouldn't I?" Squier says he might consider running for the legislature some day — "if I got it all done first," he suggests. In fact, Westinghouse is in the process of buying World Sports, which will cut down on his travel and provide him plenty of lunch money. But that doesn't mean Squier, who is accustomed to working three or four months without a day off, is ready to retire. He's ready to race. Actor Rusty Dewees is taking Squier's Buick Skylark out for a virgin spin next Thursday at Thunder Road. First and foremost, Squier wants to get back to radio, in

the state he loves. Despite all hfe"has done for televised rac- * ing, he feels most fulfilled off camera, doing creative broadcasting for Vermonters in the studio where he grew up. Describing the appeal of his station, he is also speaking of himself. "Everybody wants to get back to something they can hold onto in all this electronic roar. I think that is probably our place." It's not exactly full circle. Squier faces a lot more competition, and has four more stations, than his father did. There is also Vermont Public Radio, which Squier never tires of trashing for "riding both sides of the track.

"There is an awful lot of bullshit in televison. Coming home to Vermont is what has kept him sane," says Elizabeth. "It is the fact that he can go to Daytona and everybody bows and scrapes, and he comes home to the Grand Union and the lady says, 'I want to see some ID.' He loves that." ®

If commercial radio were more like WDEV, there wouldn't be a need for public radio, Squier insists. T h e station does five hours of awardwinning local news and features a day — more than any other in Vermont. Squier collected five first-place awards, and a special citation for his "unending and strong commitment to broadcast news," at the most recent meeting of the Vermont Associated Press Broadcasters' Association.

tipping over. And yes, there are seatbelK. Manganiellos wife, ^ Ellen Bernstein, insisted o n planting a flag on top just to help with visibility — a move he resisted at first but now believes is smart. "I'm more visible than most sports cars," he says. Inside the Twike there are also rear- and sideview mirrors, defrost wires in the pull-down windshield — along with two defrost heaters that resemble hand-held hair dryers — a rollback sunroof, lights and turn signals. Just like a car. Unlike a car, though, the Twike features a digital read-out panel hanging from the roof right where the driver can see it, offering up such vital statistics as the current kilometers per hour, how many kilometers are left in the batteries, the temperature of each battery, and so on.

Internet while researching the "human-powered vehicle movement" (who knew?). Twikes have caught the fancy of some 400 owners in Europe -— 100 in Zurich alone. In the U.S., Twikes cost between $16,500 and $20,000, and probably face a big PR battle with a nation in love with the SUV. Standing about 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and 8.5 feet long, the Twike weighs in at a relatively dainty 600 pounds. Those batteries, which can be charged overnight at home, or any handy 220 outlet — Manganiello shows off a variety of plugs and adaptors he keeps behind his seat in the Twike — will take the vehicle about 40 miles. Up to 20 percent further if you pedal a fair amount. And that's exactly what Manganiello does. "I want the exercise, and I want to go slow," he says. "It's a whole different mindset than driving a car." Pedaling, by the way, is the only "heating system," though the Twike is operable year-round. Compared to bicycling, though, enclosure is a huge improvement.

It's a whole different mindset than driving a car.

Another departure from both bicycles and cars is how the Twike is steered and stopped. Manganiello says the steering joystick in his right hand took "a few hundred miles to get used to." Meanwhile, he brakes with a simple squeeze of the left hand on another "stick." An especially cool, and energy-saving, feature of the Twike is regenerative braking. Braking while going downhill, especially, the forward velocity of the vehicle creates energy that goes back into the battery.

Manganiello explains, too, that the Twike is safer than it looks — that aluminum "spaceframe," he insists, makes it sturdier than the average plasticwalled compact car. If struck from the side, the Twike is likely to "go with the blow" by simply

b m m hen Manganiello and I • K drop ourselves into the yg f f Twike — the "door" is the windshield, which pops up for entry — I find myself ih a surprisingly comfortable recumbent seat, with legs outstretched. He tells me pedaling is optional, and I quickly discover wearing a skirt is not advisable, unless you want to flash oncoming motorists, which I guess is also not advisable. But when no other cars are around, I get in a little pedaling and find its as much of a workout as riding a bike — except you can stop when you're tired and the Twike keeps on going. Pedaling isn't really making the Twike go, I realize as I valiantly

try to "help" uphill on Swift Street. Instead, the pedaling sim- """ ply extends the charge -of the batteries. " * r Speaking of other motorists, they're curious, not surprisingly, and are almost universally goodmannered toward the Twike, Manganiello reports. Some follow him around, clearly dying to know what its all about. He's given out 400 copies of his Twike article in the last three weeks. "I've got to be especially careful around pedestrians," Manganiello notes — the Twike is so quiet you can't hear it coming. O n Spear Street, we sail along at about 35 mph, which is the top speed Manganiello is comfortable with. Though the Twike can go 55, this is not the vehicle you're going to take to "burn it out" on the interstate. Despite the lack of air conditioning, the ventilation is quite good — until you stop. Sitting at a red light, I'm painfully aware of the hot sun beating through that big overhead windshield. But then we're off again, and I'm getting used to the slightly tippy feel of it, and the indulgent smiles of passers-by. I'm not going to rush out and buy a Twike — not while I've still got car payments, anyway. But I'm beginning to believe it's a bwilliant idea. ®

gresses. T h e effect is challenging in the way that distinguishes gutsy live theater from made-forTV-movies. Vogel had such a distinction in mind as she wrote the play, and the Playhouse cast, under the direction of Catherine v Hurst, succeeds in demonstrating the brilliance of her choice. Armed with the knowledge of what will happen between Li'l Bit and Uncle Peck, one views scenes set in the past through an entirely different lens. Every innocent exchange, every playful gesture, is cast against the harsh image of where it is all headed. Some of these moments are chilling, such as when Uncle Peck photographs a teenage Li'l Bit, coaxing her into various glamour-girl poses, building her up, but also nudging her beyond her comfort zone. T h e psychology is compelling: While Uncle Peck does not step way over the line right then, he is clearly exploring what he can get away with later, conditioning his niece to accept minor transgressions. T h e chemistry between Parker and Hermann is strongest in these early scenes — early in THE PASSING LANE Bruce Hermann and Christie the characters' lives, not necessarParker take the scenic route to a problem affair. ily in the play.

•RAP FRAPPE? We've become accustomed over the years to wacky — and radical — ideas emerging along with the ice cream from Ben & Jerry's. But rap? Yep. Ben Cohen, now with a somewhat diminished role at the company he co-founded with Jerry Greenfield, is heading up a completely different project. Business Leaders for Social Priorities is an organization dedicated to informing the public of how the Pentagon spends money. Made up of 500 major business leaders across the U.S., its prestigious board even includes a former director of the CIA. So where does the rap come in? Well. BLSP's basic concept is that the military budget could be cut by 15 percent — about $40 billion — without compromising national security. That $40 billion could cover all the educational and health care needs of the country, explains Bill Kinzie, producer of Cohen's rap record. Along with his partner at Too Much Media, Rob Michalak — coincidentally the former PR tsar at B&J's — Kinzie is working on music tracks at the Burlington studio for the song, which would explain all the above in a catchy rhythm. Meanwhile, Cohen himself reportedly spent a recent motorcycling trip around New England under headphones, practicing such lines as: Well, here's one thing I'd really like to know/Where do you want your money to go?/For nuclear weapons and Star Wars toys/or to educate and motivate our girls and boys?The hook, says Kinzie, is I'm tellin you sonny, we've just got to move the money. Cohen assistant Dliane Peterson suggests, "This is another tool Ben's cooked up to promote the central idea of the campaign. The idea is to just get it recorded and see what we can do with it." Kinzie suggests the ice cream maker may try to interest someone with greater musical skills to take it on, or at least collaborate. May we suggest local hip-hoppers

nEws DysFunkShun? Think globally, rap locally, and all that? WHERE THE 'BOYS' ARE Burlington's hillbilly boogie kings The Starline Rhythm Boys kick it up this Thursday at the Battery Park Concert Series, with local swing teacher David Larson on hand to show you the moves. Starline appear, too, at Charlie O's Friday, honing their chops one last time before heading into a Maine studio to record, with Sean Mencher at the controls. The "dress rehearsals" — and these guys really know how to dress — precede four days, and a projected dozen or so tracks, with the rockabilly legend in High Noon. Look for the rockin' results, Better Luck's a Barroom Away, sometime around Christmas. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES In one of the most inspired pairings in recent memory, Yolanda and James Kochalka Superstar will share the stage, and CD release parties, this Saturday at Higher Ground. Welcome to Yolanda's World and Carrot Boy the Beautiful arrived too late for review in this issue (something to look forward to, no?), but will be on hand at the party. Carrot Boy comes with a 16-page comic book and karaoke instructions for the whole "rock opera" — something about an evil scientist's plans to destroy the world, thwarted because of one brave little carrot boy. Sniff. Yolanda's World comes with a great wig and really tight dress. Just kidding. If you long to be discov-

ered, be sure to come "camera-ready," as it \vere, because Jeff Lawson will be filming a music video at the club, and collecting footage for an ongoing documentary of JKS. Now that's really something to look forward to. SINGLE TRACKS Young Vermont singer-songwriter Greg Douglass recently got picked up by Music Choice, which supplies digital music to cable channels such as the local Adelphia. "Shot By the Light of the Moon," from his debut album, If I Were a Man, will be played three times a day for six weeks in the programmer's "alternative mix" . . . Except for appearing at a few select festivals, viperHouSe have been reclusive this summer, holed up in the practice room in preparation for a fall tour of the entire East Coast. Check out some new tunes at their homie show this Sunday at Emerald City . . . Those of you with connections to the Boston music scene might like to know about the Mark Sandman Memorial Concert this Sunday (rain date: August 1) outdoors at Central Square in Cambridge. Sandman, lead vocalist for Morphine, died on stage of heart failure earlier this month . . . Congratulations to Linda Bassick and Dave Nerbak for the birth of their baby boy, Leo Albert! . . . Fans of Club Metronome's Martin & Mitchell (Craig and "Little") will be happy to know the pair have moved their gig over to 135 Pearl on Tuesday nights, at least while the club is shut down this month . . . If you happen to be in Northampton this Saturday, check up on Picture This — the Vermont-based jazz band will play its first headlining gig at the famed Iron Horse . . . On Buzz Homebrew this Sunday, Nicole SaltUS will feature the new CD Life of the Party, from Montreal's ska guys Planet Smashers . . . (D

SEVEN DAYS

send-up, "Voodoo Lady," despite a perpetual tongue-in-cheek attitude. The best stuff here is wacky punk rock like "Bumble Bee" and "Doctor Rock," and the dark hilarity of "Mister Would You Please Help My Pony," who "coughed up snot in the driveway, I think his lungs fucked up." I don't know about all the mock-Muslim minaret warbling on "I Can't Put My Finger O n It" and "Vallejo," and most of disc two's pair of 20-plus-minute jams are sure to bore all but the most trippedout Ween fan. But these guys are likely to put on a fun, unpredictable show, walking that fine line Between childlike spontaneity and infantile self-indulgence. Odds are good they're worth the trip to Winooski. Check out the brothers Ween at Higher Ground this Friday.

best — and worst. Originally intended as a limited edition, Web site-only release, Paintin' was ultimately given the full Elektra treatment. The discs follow Gene (vocals, guitar) and Dean (guitar, vocals) Ween from early tape-deck-backed European gigs through their "country phase" to the full band line-up they currently favor. Dean's amusing, self-effacing liner notes set the scene for the tracks, explaining, among other things, how wasted on what they were for each show — if he remembers the night at all. Long-time soundman Kirk Miller is crucial to their effects-laden sound on all these tracks. Like fellow genre-bender Beck, Ween undercuts stuff like the Nashville Catbacked country tunes here with decidedly non-country lyrics. "Mr. Richard Smoker" sounds like pumped-up Western swing, but describes a highly unsavory character. Dean really rips on guitar on tracks like their disco

H U M M E R , PREMIUM (Accurate Records, CD) — The Boston-based modern rock trio Hummer explore the boundaries of pop in a way that has long been called Beatle-esque (circa Sgt. Pepper's). At the same time, their sound straddles the line between lassitude and rock frenzy that is unmistakeably '90s. Hummer have a lot going on for a three-piece, but then they've got a host of guests, from Morphines Dana Colley on sax to Dave Limina on a very watery-sounding Hammond. In fact, the "live band mates" list credits no fewer than 14 other players, so I guess it's uncertain how many actually show up for gigs. The boys have mastered a variety of feels, from balladry to blues to Neil Young-like guitar outbursts to a sort of urban Americana. A more current analogy might be Matthew Sweet, but with more harmonies. Hummer — and this disc — are largely the work of Stephen Mayone (vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, percussion) and Daniel C. Cantor

(vocals, drums, percussion, harmonica, keyboards), who not only wrote the songs (with collaborators in a few cases), but produced and arranged Premium as well. Extra guitar work comes from Jonas Kahn, who also shot the gas-tank photos for the cover art. Artful sonic touches abound on this collection, including retro flange, wah-wah and tremolo on the guitars, ethereal reverb and spooky compression on the vocals and, yes, even a backwards bit of tape. In short, Cantor and Mayone had fun — meticulous fun — in the studio, but thankfully fell short of abusing the toys. That Premium suffers a bit from a sort of chronic fatigue throughout is no fault of the production, which is excellent. Hard to explain, but the songs don't always rise to the level of their own sonic wizardry — a sense of resting on their elbows rather than standing on their toes. Even so, the disc contains more than the usual allowance of stand-outs, if you take them on their own merits. I particularly liked the anxious tension of htflilBei "Jack," the gently dark -4 "Sweetly," the n \\\\ spooky &as "Phoenix LESS < Rising," the blues shuffle, "Body Drop," however brief, and the Squeeze-meets-George-Harrison "Face Down." The closer, "Shine," moves a bit toward noodle territory with a funky groove, suggesting that Hummer can get it up when they feel like it.

Psychology and Science Fiction What does it mean to be human? What is the nature of reality? Psychology addresses these questions through scientific inquiry. "Social Science Fiction," as Isaac Asimov has called one branch of the sci-fi genre, addresses the same questions speculatively. Often it uses the language and ideas of psychology, just as "Hard Science Fiction" uses concepts of physics, biology or astronomy.

Free Open House Join us Tuesday, August 3, at 7 pm in the Burlington College Community Room as Burlington College instructor Abby Gelfer examines sci-fi stories and novels, and the psychological concepts they explore.

Solutions. We've been providing them to Vermonters since 1995.

Which of the rumors surrounding Stanley Kubrick's final film have turned out to be unfounded? Well, stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman do not play husband and wife psychiatrists. Cruise does not sport women's attire at any time. Nor does he perform in the buff. The actor and his wife do not engage in the sexual act on camera, as had been whispered. And, I am saddened to say, the picture is not Kubrick's "haunting final masterpiece" as promised in its TV ads. Rather, what we have here is the last and least of Kubrick's films, a movie intended as an exploration of sexual obsession, jealousy and guilt, but which seldom succeeds in getting beneath the glossy surface of its subject. The picture will stand as the last word from the century's most visionary and distinctive filmmaker, but periodically it looks like something David Lynch might have thrown together on an off day. The story in a nutshell: Cruise and Kidman are a society Manhattan couple with a young daughter and an apparently happy marriage.They get invited to a lavish party at pal Sidney Pollack's house one night and both wind up quasiflirting with other people. Later that evening they smoke some pot at home and Kidman goes off on a bizarre tangent about how stinky it is for her husband to believe that other men might be drawn to her by her beauty. To get him back for suggesting such a terrible thing, she floors Cruise with a graphic confession cerncerning sexual fantasies she once had after glimpsing a particular man in uniform. In response, Cruise embarks upon an odyssey through the night streets of New York, over and over again, imagining his wife and the soldier engaging in R-rated maneuvers. Eventually he ends up at a countryside mansion surrounded by masked members of a secret sex club. Sort of a cross between Plato's Retreat and the Spanish Inquisition, the proceedings come to a screeching halt when the uninvited guest is unmasked. Just as it looks like something bad is

about to happen to him, one of the many naked slave girls on hand steps forward and offers to be punished in his place, at which point Cruise is permitted to leave. The next day, several ominous and shadowy developments come to Tom's attention, and the movie closes on an ambiguous note. The husband is left to wonder whether something truly sinister took place at the mansion that night or whether it was all just a bunch of jaded rich folk having a few harmless jollies. The of passion is only skin deep. audience, on the other hand, is left to wonder: Did we miss something? On the upside: The movie is a banquet for the eyes. Kubrick's films have always had an idiosyncratic and painterly look to them and this one is no exception, though it does lack a memorable central image, such as the monolith and space-baby in 2001, Slim Pickens' bronco-riding an A-bomb in Dr. Strangelove or Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny" scene in The Shining. The score is haunting and the film is sucessful in its attempt to draw the viewer into something of a dreamlike or hypnotic state as its director reportedly wanted to do. At the same time, this is largely due to the fact that unbelievably long stretches of time go by in which unbelievably little happens on the screen. There's a fine line between entering a dream state and merely dozing off. Which brings me back to the comment about David Lynch: Kubrick's work has rarely called to mind that of other filmmakers, but entire portions of Eyes Wide Shut play almost like an homage to the director of Eraserhead, Blue Velvet and Lost Highway. There are the same faceless, forbidding settings, the same juxtaposing of innocence and depravity, the same underwater pacing, the same oddball characters, the same long, awkward silences broken by a blackly loopy line of dialogue. There's even the tune by Chris Isaak, whom Lynch nudged into prominence by featuring his music in Blue Velvet. That was him in the infamous Eyes trailer, fanning the flames of public speculation prior to the picture's release by hinting, "She's done a bad, bad thing. I don't know what to make of it — I'm just telling you what I saw. And that was a cinematically luscious piece of work which went on for nearly three hours while it could have said everything it had to say in less than one. A work that examined highly charged psychological areas but failed to find anything of interest. A work designed to capitalize on the genius of a great director and the bodies of a greatlooking Hollywood couple and which, in the end, didn't reveal very much of either. ®

.50. There's an assortment of sides as * homemade baked beans for $2.50, baked in the coals for $2, corn v tm the cob for $1, coleslaw and macaroni salad for $ 1, and a vegetable of the day, which is often squash from Tuff's own garden, or green beans cooked with bacon. Drinks included a variety of canned sodas and lemonade. When your order is ready, the screen window opens and your food appears in a large paper container. If you have a lot of stuff you can put it in a cardboard box to carry to a nearby picnic table or your car. In addition to tables-— including some under a large, gazebo-like structure — the grounds include barrels for trash and recycling, and an outdoor sink with strong green soap and a huge roll of paper towels to help, you restore your hands and face when you're done. But between the ordering and the clean-up is a mess of good eating. The ribs are unbelievably lean and tender, and scored in such a way that they come off the bone in delicate, bite-sized pieces. The barbecue sauce is served on the side — I tried both the mild and spicy. Made from Tuff's own recipe, which he bottles and sells ($5 for 12 ounces of mild, $6 for spicy), the sauces were heavenly: sharp with the taste of vinegar, smoky and piquant with hot peppers and other "secret" spices, and, blessedly, not ketchupy or sugary in the least. I bought two bottles.

B Y MARIALISA CALTA arbecue, in my book, is like baseball: better in writing than in reality. In print, baseball is full of nuance and electricity; in real life, it can be deadly dull. Likewise, barbecue makes good copy — entire books have been devoted to the American quest for perfection in the pit. But nearly every plate of ribs I've ever eaten has given me a stomach-ache. But it pays to keep an open mind. After all, every once in a while, a player comes along who makes the game as interesting in real time as it is on the printed page. This weekend, I had a barbecue breakthrough: I got a chance to eat barbecue prepared by Curtis Tuff. It may be stretching the analogy a bit to call him the Mark McGuire of barbecue, but he sure does make it worthwhile. Tuff is the chefowner, with his wife, Christine, of Curtis' Ail-American Bar-B-Q, a two-school-bus and three-shed operation in Putney on the main road just off Exit 4 on 1-91. Born in Buffalo, New York, and raised in the South, Tuff came to Vermont decades ago as an itinerant apple picker. Putney was one stop on a route that regularly took him through Florida, parts of the deep South and back up through New York State and New England. I don't understand quite how it happened, but at some point about 30 years ago, he began cooking barbecue in a pit on the side of the road. He called it the "ninth" wonder of the world, counting the established seven, plus King Kong. His has been a seasonal business — he plans to open on weekends in the winter this year — and in the off-season he has worked in the packing house for a local orchard. Over time, Tuff added a barbecue shack (still on the property, but closed by state inspectors) and eventually the two buses, a walk-in refrigerator and various other out buildings. "I like doing my own thing," he says. "It's hard work, but it's my work." His barbecue pit, adjacent to the buses, consists of two 275-gallon metal drums. Tuff sliced off a side of each and set them up like two giant cradles under an open shed made of logs and patches of corrugated metal roofing. He rigged big wire grates. He made a long-handled mop — for constant basting — with a piece of cheesecloth tied to a stick. With this rig and his "secret" barbeque sauce, he was ready for business. "I burned a lot of things at first," says Tuff. But he seems to have it figured out, serving up an estimated 1000 pounds of chicken and ribs each week. I don't know why it took me so long to find Curtis' Ail-American Barb-B-Q. It's been written up in dozens of the magazines and barbecue books I've read. Heck, it's been written up at least twice in The New York Times. I guess I figured that,

Tuff credits his success with several of the lessons he's learned over time. For example, he specifically avoids burning pine and white birch because the former is full of pitch and the latter has an "oily skin." Both adversely affect the taste of the meat. He uses instead a mixture of apple, rock maple, cherry, ash, grey birch, beech and oak, burning up to a cord a week — which he splits and chops himself — in the high season. Also, Tuff's grates are several feet above the fire, which allows for slow cooking (a rack of ribs takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes, half a chicken a little longer). He pays attention as he cooks, although he always seems ready to chat with visitors or slip a biscuit to the huge, prickly grey blob that hunkers at his feet: Isabelle, the pot-bellied pig.

Between the ordering and the clean-up is a mess of good eating. The ribs are unbelievably lean and tender.. being virtually the only barbecue in Vermont, it did not take much to laud Tuff's as "the best." But you have only to get a whiff of the pungent scent of wood smoke and barbecue sauce, to hear the fat sizzling on the hot coals, and to see Tuff hard at work — a lean, bearded gentlemen mopping his brow with a blue bandanna — to realize you've happened upon the Real Deal. At Curtis' you order from a menu hung outside the school bus adjacent to

the pit. The bus, painted blue, has a smokestack protruding at one end from the indoor grill, and large patches of black soot on the exterior. Behind a tiny screened window, a young woman or two — often Tuff's step-daughter, Rachel, is one of them — takes your order. The menu offers a slab of ribs for $20, a half-slab for $10, a "medium" portion (four ribs) for $7.50 and a "small" (two ribs) for $4. Half a barbecued chicken costs $6, and a chicken and rib combo is

"She doesn't know what's going on here," says Tuff quietly about his pet, nodding at the grills full of pork. "She doesn't even know she's a pig." This chef's advice is, "You've got to cook with love." Asked what that means, Tuff falls silent for a moment, then gestures toward a rack of fresh ribs laid on the grill to slow-cook. "You look at this food and it just looks beautiful," he says. "It makes you want to cook it right. It makes you want to cook more and more of it. You put yourself into it, you respect the food. You pay attention. That's love." Whatever he's doing, believe me, it's better in real life than on paper. ®

DORSET STREET SO. BURLINGTON, VT 05403 802/862-5227

July 2 2 - 2 8 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Among certain Native American tribes, the potlatch was a kind of generosity contest. Participants in this ritual vied to give away the most gifts. According to my reading of your current astrological potentials, Aries, nothing would be better for your health than behaving like a latter-day potlatcher. That's why I urge you to start doling out an absurd abundance of presents as soon as possible. Donate your talents and bestow your blessings — without a single string attached. Distribute your favors and share your wealth — with a crazed, saint-like glint in your eye.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): This horoscope offers you nuts-andbolts advice on how to have a mystical experience. Not just any mystical experience, either, but a very pragmatic one that may lead to big bucks and dumb luck and invitations to cool potlucks and other wonderstruck experiences that rhyme with "pluck." Here goes, Taurus: Cut off a lock of your own hair and wrap it in red paper on which you've written ; "I want to attract a divine nudge that will bring me greater understanding about my most confounding personal puzzle." Put this litde package under your mattress for five nights. On the sixth night, burn the paper in the flame of a white candle as you murmur, "I love how my mystery mystifies me."

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Today during meditation I had a vision of you in a spacious prison cell as big as your bedroom. You were scratching out messages on toilet paper using blood you pricked from your fingers with a dull safety pin. In yesterday's meditation I got a psychic impression of you languishing in the desert, now and then tracing giant letters in the sand with your feet in the hope of attracting the attention of airplanes passing overhead. In both my visions, Gemini, your communications were in vain — no one received

'Seeking lazy, lard-ass, butt-ugly raggart with nothing to say but habit of running off at the outh. Must be able to belch

e William Tell Overture." No, them — and I've felt guilty as hell for seeing you that way. That's why, beginning immediately, I'm visualizing an image of you speaking your mind with lucid, forceful precision to everyone you meet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I won't be surprised if you have a blind yearning to devour every food you see in the coming week. Even in normal times, your chronic fear of scarcity threatens to drive you to bloated excess. And given the fact that your current astrological aspects are intensifying your urges to acquire and amass and enlarge, your hunger could drive you to prodigious engorgements of sweet creamy delights. Still, there's reason to hope you can sublimate your expansive instincts into more constructive projects. How about adding a room onto your house or blowing up a hundred balloons for a kid's party or opening your heart to way, way more love? L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): I predict that the gray aliens will refrain from implanting a tiny crystal in your pineal gland this week. You will not recall a painful memory of a past life working in the laundry room of a convent, nor will you try to cast a spell on an old tormentor by leaving a bag of chicken bones and newspaper obituaries on his or her doorstep. No, Leo, the weird blips that arrive in the coming days will mostly be tonic and will probably unfold in the most normal of circumstances. You'll discover a phenomenon I call high-quality boredom, for example. You may also blunder upon a curious solution to a small problem that has annoyed you for eons. If you're nicer and more polite than usual, you could even attract a compact little bolt of "accidental" jus-

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): For your creative writing assignment this week, choose from the following topics: "How I Used My Nightmares to Become Rich and Famous"... "How I Exploited My Problems to Become Sassy and Savvy"... "How I Fed and Fed and Fed My Monsters Until They Ate Themselves to Death"... "How I Turned Envy, Resentment and Smoldering Anger into Generosity, Compassion and Fiery Success." Send your stories, essays, or poems to: The Psychic Judge, P.O. Box 761, Petaluma, CA 94953.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Visualize a fantasy, Libra, that would thrill you to the core if you only had the guts to act it out. Allow your imagination to dwell on this dreamy scenario at length, experiencing in detail all the surprising events and feelings you've felt too inhibited to entertain up until now. Don't even think about whether or not you're actually going to act it out. Just let it rip. Give your deep mind license to unleash all the tabooed images of pleasure and freedom. No doubt you'll have to blast through worries about being egotistical and undignified and messy. That's good. That's righteous. If you do it correctly, with all your wild heart, tiiis exercise will lead you to a lucid state of divine selfishness.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): At this tantalizing juncture in your life cycle, some astrologers might advise you on how to bulldoze the opposition, lay waste to all facts that don't fit your theories, and seize enough new territory to appease your conquistadorish ego. But I'd prefer to see you make a wish upon a star, Scorpio, not a scar. So in the next few weeks I'll be sneaking you subliminal lessons from

my course entided "Mind Control for the Sensitive, Caring Power-Tripper." It'll pump up your lust for absolute power.. .over yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Dear Teeth-Shaking, GlassBreaking, Rump-Roasting, BunToasting Flash of Liquid Lightning: I dreamed you finally revealed your secret identity after all these years — you know, about how you came from the planet Lovemania in order to teach all earthlings how to feel horny for clouds, trees, tigers and even the ocean itself! Is my dream true? Please say it is! Tell me you're really ready to drop your overly respectable pose so that you may spread erotic healing throughout the land! Dare to become the sublimely lustful worshiper of beauty and truth you were born to be!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): It would be most beneficial to our mental health if we could perform the psychic equivalent of what the cobra does, which is to shed its skin every four to five weeks. Flushing away our old self-images on such a relentlessly regular basis would keep us attuned to the constant barrage of gifts the gods try to shove in front of us — but which most of the time we're too damn stuck in the past to see. Alas, only the most beatific adventurers (who also don't have kids, spouses and demanding jobs) can manage such a heroic commitment to change. Having said all those discouraging words, though, Capricorn, I'm pleased to announce that you could very well pull off two cathartic moltings in the next four weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarius, do not put anything remotely approaching the following text into a personal ad anytime soon:

my friend, I advise you to think very positively about the kind of collaborators you want to have in your life as the relationship season heats up. It's crucial that you not let your fears dominate the solicitous vibes you're putting out, and it's also important that you formulate your desires with exquisite accuracy. Try something like this instead: "Seeking Utopian passion-artist with smart emotions and a talent for making optimism intriguing."

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): As I drifted off to sleep last night, I asked my spirit guides to provide me with a seed-thought to deliver to you. At exactly 4:44 a.m., I awoke from a dream in which a sweet but firm feminine voice repeated the same statement three times. "Tell Pisces," the voice said, "that no one will be hurt but everyone's life will mutate." What do you make of this oracle? I'm guessing it means you're about to navigate your way through a very healthy uproar. ®

Desalination these days isn't confined to desert nations with pots of dough. Only about 2.5 percent of the world s H 2 0 supply is fresh water, and 99 percent of that is inaccessible (polar ice caps, deep groundwater, etc.). Because of population growth, there's increasing pressure to make use of water that was previously considered marginal, such as the brackish (slighdy saline) water found in pans of the southeastern U.S. Already there are 12,000 desalination plants in operation worldwide, handling about six billion gallons per day, enough to supply 60-120 million people at the consumption rates we're accustomed to in the developed world. Annual investment in new desalination plants is estimated at about $1.5 billion.

This is the problem with being a smart-ass. You unload some priceless bon mot and 400 years later, out of context, you sound like an idiot. Here's an early green cheese citation from John Heywood's Proverbes (1546): "The moon is made of a greene cheese," greene meaning new, unaged. One can find similar quotes in the works of Francois Rabelais and Thomas More. I'm hearing sarcasm here, but in that era before :-) one can't be sure. Other citations are clearer: "You may as soon persuade some Country Peasants, that the Moon is made of Green Cheese (as we say) as that 'tis bigger than his Cart-wheel" (Wilkins, New World 1, 1638), the implication being that Luna's non-cheesiosity was not a matter regarding which even the rustics were in doubt.

REPLACING ENGINE'S HARMONIC BALANCER NOT AN OPTION

Dear Tom and Ray, My friend Sammie has been nursing along a 1989 Pontiac Bonneville with a 3.8 liter engine that has what her mechanics call a "bad harmonic balancer. "As I understand them, these devices are counterweights, designed to cancel engine vibration and reduce noise. Does she have to replace the harmonic balancer? Or can it simply be disconnected, with some sacrifice of driver comfortI —Bob TOM: "Some sacrifice of driver comfort" would be putting it mildly, Bob. T h e harmonic bal-

So tell Sammie to get it fixed.

ancer is essentially part of the crankshaft pulley. And since the belts that go around the crankshaft pulley run all of the car's accessories, without the harmonic balancer you'd have no air conditioning, no power steering, no alternator and no water pump. RAY: Plus, it does have a role in "balancing" the crankshaft. And without it, you can do damage to the crankshaft and the engine bearings. So you really do have to replace it. T O M : A new harmonic balancer costs somewhere around $150 or $200, Bob. But you can buy a used one at a junkyard, and that'll balance your harmonics just fine. RAY: And it's an easy repair to do. There's one bolt that holds it onto the crankshaft. Even my brother could handle this, Bob.

Dear Tom and Ray, I just bought a 1996 Subaru Legacy Outback Wagon. This is an all-wheel-drive wagon that comes with one of those stupid little Dunkin Donuts mini-spares instead of a full-sized spare tire. I've heard that if you have to use the mini-spare, you're supposed to disengage the all-wheel-drive so you don't mess it up. Is there any reason (besides moneyj that I shouldn't just buy another 15inch rim and stow a full-sized spare in the back? —Dave T O M : There's no reason you C A N ' T do that, Dave. But personally, I don't think it's necessary. RAY: You D O want to avoid using a mini-spare in all-wheeldrive mode, because using one smaller tire could damage the center differential. But taking this car out of AWD mode is a piece of cake.

T O M : To put the car in "frontwheel-drive-only" mode, all you have to do is insert a fuse. The procedure is described in your owner's manual, and it's really _ very simple. RAY: Plus, the mini-spare is not stupid, in my opinion. It may look flimsy (OK, it IS flimsy), but it's really quite adequate for emergencies. It's good for about 50 miles, which is enough to get most people home, or to a gas station, or both. T O M : If you live out in the boonies and often find yourself more than 50 miles from civilization, then it makes sense to have a full-sized spare. But for most people, it's just not necessary. And besides, flat tires are becoming rarer and rarer these days due to significant improvements in tire quality. RAY: Then there's the issue of room. While many cars have room for a full-sized spare, some do not. I don't remember whether or not the '96 Legacy has a full-sized-spare-tire well,
