£ BUSH SH O U LD C O N C E D E

questio

It is now clear that the American peoples voice was heard, and that we voted for Al Gore. Not by a large margin, but by a clear margin. Gore won the popu lar vote; no one disputes that. More voters in Florida went to the polls to vote for Gore than for Bush. That some were unable to do so was at best a technical error, at worst a mix o f technical errors and scandalous impropriety. Neither o f these should choose a President. Even Pat Buchanan, the most conservative person on the nation al political scene, publicly stated

Whatis food for thought? Eat too much and it turns to fat, think too much and ideas get stored like fat in your head. Ponder, taste and wax poetic all you like, but don’t be a fat head. You’ve got to move your ass^pirations!

that over 2000 misvotes for him, from just one of many irregular voting incidents, should be given to Gore — easily enough to tip the balance. Saying this demonstrated integrity on Buchanans part that may surprise many. That kind of integrity is what Bush claimed, throughout the campaign, as his greatest strength, the reason you should vote for him. By not conceding to the will of the people, he reveals it for the lie it was. If he becomes president it will be because of two lies that all the world will know to be lies: that more Americans wanted him as President, and that he earned

I really enjoy your paper, but you angered me in your November 1 issue. I have a 6-year-old boy who is learning to read and likes to flip through newspapers. Although he is not likely to read a column (Freyne) and find the occasional dirty word in it, his eyes might be drawn to handwritten “blows goats” in the ad on page 5 and the 16-point type “#@&* you” on page 7.

We resided in Vermont for years as a gay couple raising a son in the East Montpelier area and have since moved to the Southeast.

Election Post-Mortem There was much to be happy about in Vermont the day after the election. For the nation, the message from Vermont was, it’s okay to support equal marriage rights for gay and lesbian citizens. It’s not a political death warrant after all. We’re better than that. All the narrow-minded intolerance that some of our neighbors have been pitching wasn’t worth a hill of beans in the end. The people have spoken. Vermont voters proved yet again that Vermont is still a state heavily populated by citizens who value fairness and open-mindedness. Vermont is still a state that respects individual free dom. The “Take Back Vermont” whiners took it on the chin. Their Joan of Arc, Ruthless Ruth D w ye r ofThetford, dropped like a stone under the weightlessness of her message. Gov. H o w a rd D ean won reelection. Lt. Gov. DOUg R a c in e did too — with ease. There isn’t enough room for all the deserving winners and losers. Here’s a special select few:

WINNERS — King of the Mountains! It was the toughest fight of his very remarkable politi cal career, and Howard Brush Dean III M.D. passed with flying colors. The guy is simply amazing. Same-sex marriage wasn’t his issue. Like piping-hot tomato soup, it was dumped into his lap, but D V D C T C o f r t i £ except for a little clumsy “uncom fortableness” at the start, he never once flinched. Ruth Dwyer hit him with everything she had, never letting the facts get in the way. And as if that weren’t enough, along came A n th o n y P o llin a with a well-financed third-party effort to whack him from the crunchy-gra nola left. Ho-Ho can be governor as long as he wants to be governor. He’s got the political game down pat — centrism is the winning ism. Hail to the chief! H o w a rd D ean

— We had to ask. Did o r Bernardo, our all-time favorite left-wing commie pinko socialist with a Brooklyn accent, ever in his wildest dreams imagine that one day he would win a statewide election in Vermont with 70 percent of the popular vote? “You want the honest heart-wrenching answer?” he answered with a shy grin. “No, it’s quite incredible,” said The Bern with a chuckle. “It’s very gratifying.” And well-deserved. Mr. Sanders will return for the 107th Congress as ranking member on one of four Banking subcommit tees. Look out, IMF and World Bank! Vermont’s rep resentative is rested and primed. He’s an insider now. A deal-maker. A leader. A guy who gets things done. And as he enters his sixth term on Capitol Hill he’s a recognized force to be dealt with as he blazes an inde pendent trail into 21st-century American politics. Destiny becomes him. R e p . B e rn ie S a n d e rs

— The local press — with but one or two glaring exceptions — deserves a round of applause. From the weeklies to the dailies, from the car radio to the nightly news, this election received full-throttle coverage in the Vermont press. The Fourth Estate did its job and did it well. It told the public what was really going on. The Rutland Herald/Times Argus published an out standing “A Day in the Life of a Campaign” supple ment section, putting a reporter and a photographer on the tail of each of the major gubernatorial candi dates dawn until dusk. Great pictures. Brilliant writ ing. The Valley News cast the first serious, documented suspicion over the credibility of Ruth Dwyer by uncovering all the falsehoods in one of her fictional, heart-wrenching campaign pitch es. Great digging! Many noticed equally out standing local election coverage, from the Stowe Reporter to the Barton Chronicle and the Addison County Independent. Ail topnotch local Vermont weeklies that tell it like it is. All online, too. On the boob tube, WCAXTV was all over the election beat like a seagull on a Battery Park dish of French fries. Ch. 3 han dled its responsibility as Vermont’s TV news of record well. And even Vermont Public Television kicked in this time with a little extra — a snappy documentary on the gubernatori al candidates.

E liz a b e th R ead y — She was only running for auditor, but everyone noticed the Ready campaign. That’s because Chainsaw Liz from Lincoln is the hardest campaigner to come down the Long Trail in a long time. She also had the best up-and-coming rookie campaign manger in Vermont — her son, E than R ead y. Remember that name. Catchy. Elizabeth survived the nasty Republican attack highlighting past financial travails without a scratch. It turned a lot of folks off. Ready’s got great rapport with ordinary people, a tough backbone and a love for the political arena that can’t be fenced in. Not even the editorial endorsements given to her opponent, John H a ll, by such “influential” powers as The Burlington Free Press, the Rutland Herald and E m erso n Lynn’s St. Albans Messenger could scratch this talented Rice Memorial High School graduate. The day after the election we received the follow ing e-mail from a Milton reader, a daily commuter, who works at the Mary Fanny hospital complex in Burlap. What motivated M o n ic a S u lliv a n to write was the sight she beheld at Exit 14 the morning after the election. “My most dreaded thing about election season,” wrote Sullivan, “is all the anonymous wavers who plant themselves in front of the Sheraton or Staples. I don’t know what they think they are accomplishing. I make it a point not to wave back or even make eye contact. “I thought they would all have disappeared by November 8th,” she continued. “That morning I was amazed to see Elizabeth Ready standing alone in front of the Sheraton with a hand-lettered sign that read simply, ‘THANKS.’ “This time I waved.” Nice touch.

Curses, Foiled Again A man entered a liquor store in Dayton, Ohio, flashed a BB hand gun and demanded cash from clerk Victor Ojezua. Before Ojezua could hand over any naoney, a beer salesman and a customer entered the store. When they heard the conversation between the robber and Ojezua, they quickly left, but Ojezua followed right behind them. Once outside, he locked the door, trapping the robber inside the store until police arrived.

Look Before You Leap Three concession workers at Yellowstone National Park decided this summer to go for a late-night swim in a cold-water pond. It turned out to be a hot spring, whose 178-degree water fatally burned a 20-year-old woman and critically burned her 18-year-old male companions.

Sperm in the News Two federal corrections officers were indicted for helping impris oned felons smuggle frozen sperm to their wives and girlfriends in exchange for thousands of dollars in payoffs. The officers essentially provided sperm bank services by hustling cryogenic sperm kits through security to inmates at the Allenwood minimum-security prison, about 50 miles north of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, officials said. Investigators said the spermfilled vials were then delivered to a New York City fertility lab. The New York Post reported that as

many as five New York mobstets fathered children while in federal prison. “I’ve been at this job for eight years now, and this is the first case of sperm-kit smuggling Ive seen,” remarked U.S. Attorney David Barasch, who said the indictments stemmed from a twoyear FBI investigation. “Usually, the contraband is drugs or food or money.”

Spooked The last living member of the Dracula family told the Daily Telegraph newspaper he is “too frightened” to remain in Germany ever since neo-Nazis tried to set his castle on fire. “I have had enough of the mentality of some people here,” said Vlad Dracula Prince Kretzulesco, 60, who lives in the Brandenburg countryside south of Berlin. “I am afraid to stay here. I would like to find a castle in England from where I can run my business.”

Chicken Little Update Britain’s Task Force on Near Earth Objects, appointed by sci ence minister Lord Sainsbury, urged the government to take immediate action to prevent an asteroid from hitting the earth. Its report warned the effects of the earth being hit by an asteroid big ger than one kilometer would be devastating. Even though an aster oid this size hits the earth only once ever 100,000 years, the report recommended the government establish a British asteroid defense center and spend $98 million to

develop technology to detect and divert asteroids by “giving them a nudge with a rocket or a nuclear device.”

nEWs QuiRkS BY ROLAND SWEET

Taking Things Literally Los Angeles businessman Emmanuel Broust, 42, checked into the Ichi Haisin Hotel in Tokyo before meeting some clients but suffered a heart attack and died in bed. For the next four months, the hotel staff continued to obey the “Do not disturb” sign on the door. Finally, a maid who had just started working at the hotel entered the room and dis covered the body, although she said afterward she wanted to resign in shame for having dis turbed a guest.

Auto-Erotica The Climax Gentleman’s Club in Salem Township, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, began offering something new for those who can’t stop in for lap dances: drivethrough nudity. Motorists drive around to a window at the back of the club, show proof they are 18 or older and pay $5 per minute. Then they pull up a few feet to a second window and watch a nude dancer for the amount of time they paid for. A 26-year-old Climax stripper, who identified herself only by her stage name, Barbie, said most customers pay for two to three minutes, but one man paid $100 for 20 minutes. “That can be tough,” she said. “After a while, you run out of things to do.”

The Pen Is Mightier Weird in the Woods

The Louisiana Department of Corrections has forbidden prison inmates from having typewriters. Jody Sinclair, the wife of an inmate who helped expose a pardon-sell ing scandal in the 1980s, said the new rule is aimed at preventing prisoners from writing the media, but corrections department secre tary Richard Stalder insisted the move will improve security. “They are one of the No. 1 security risks in an institution as far as hiding contraband goes,” Stalder said. “There are all sorts of places in a typewriter to hide things. Type writer keys can easily be made into shims that can be used as weapons.”

A California performance artist has launched what she hopes will be a new women’s movement against logging ancient redwoods: baring her breasts and reciting poetry to stunned timber crews. “They stop their chainsaws and they stop their trucks and they pay attention,” said Dona Nieto, who goes by the name “La Tigresa” and has brought what she calls “Goddess-based, nude Buddhist guerrilla poetry” to timber and logging sites in an area some 120 miles north of San Francisco that is one of the main battlegrounds in the fight between environmental ists and timber companies. “I’ve changed some of these guys’ lives. But I’d like to change the laws, and I’d like to change history.”

Location, Location, Location After Indian butcher Rakesh Kumar was arrested for slaughter ing in an open area of New Delhi’s Wazirpur district, then released on bail, he set up shop in a public toi let and threatened to dump pig parts into the streets if the authori ties try to close down his sausage business. “I will throw entrails, guts, blood and even worse on the streets now,” Kumar declared. “Let me see what the police or these residents can do.” ®

Who Needs CPR? Laurence Webbler, 68, of Bay City, Texas, was fishing with his 8year-old grandson Josh when he suffered a heart attack and lost consciousness. Josh grabbed an electronic device used to stun fish and gave his grandfather a jolt of 5,000 volts. “It was enough to get the old ticker going again,” Webbler said after being taken to the hospital.

Whining and Dining

O ur Custom Fram ing n an ideal culinary world everyone would dine slow ly, calmly, beneath flatter ing lighting, with a m inim um o f sensory distractions. Yet, while our on-the-fly lives grow scientifically and technologi cally advanced, our eating habits become increasingly Neanderthal. To my mind, m otion and plea surable dining go _________ together like poetry and Jewel. “W ant to grab a bite later?” N othing zaps the potential from a dining experience faster than that cheerfully odious phrase. Sure, lets grab a bite, then w olf it down so we can use our m ouths for some thing im portant, like yelling into cell phones. I was m eant to live in one o f the few remaining unrushed corners of the world, where leisurely lunches lead to extended sies tas. W here you own time; it doesn’t own you. In this coun try, dining typically has all the rom antic allure o f a trip to the gas station: O pen wide, fill ’er up, hit the road, Jack. Since I don’t like to stand — much less walk — while eating, I’m always dum b founded by people who casual ly inhale meals while navigat ing a crowded city sidewalk. Businessmen, or women, in suits that used to fit a few hundred lunches ago seem especially prone to this stam peding chow-downtown phe nom enon, their preferred food generally som ething dainty, like a folded-over slab o f pizza w ith the works. Stray into their path and you’re treated to a generous splash o f eau de grease cologne. Several years ago an acquaintance o f mine was describing a weekend festival he’d attended; I wasn’t paying close attention until he focused in on a friendly guy in a striped poncho, wandering the crowd with a fistful o f dripping spareribs, exclaiming “Howdy!” to everyone within earshot with his beaming, barbecuesauced grin. Sweat pricked my brow as recognition dawned that this roving rib-eater had to be none other than my broth er. How could one family pro duce a man who’ll blithely attack the most unwieldy foods in full public view and another who believes chewing is an activity best performed in can dlelight behind closed doors? M arket researchers estimate that one in 10 restaurant

meals is consumed behind the wheel. Car designers hope to expand “dashboard dining” to include microwaves, refrigera tors and, perhaps, a rotisserie. To my m ind, DW E (driving while eating) — with the exception o f trip-appropriate bagged snacks — should be a felony. Those who recklessly

bar produces equally unsavory results on the plate and in the stomach — pickled beets have no business mingling with cot tage cheese, tuna salad and lime Jell-O. Fans of this dining style have clearly given scant consid eration to the Plexiglas awning hovering beneath their noses as they construct their towering melange. The J very necessity o f an invention as disconcert ing as the “sneeze guard” should have sent someone galloping back to the smorgasbord to reconsider communal dining. i “Grazing” — I declared the new American style o f eating not so long ago — is one more dining phe nomenon I’d like to put out to pasture. Though Julia Child fondles chickens in ways that turn my stomach, I see her as the goddess o f proper yet unpretentious eating. In From Julia Child’s Kitchen, she wisely points out that a buffet is not “civilized dining; it is feeding.” I’m confident she would disap prove of grazing in all its nibble-here, nibble-there, atten tion-deficit-disorder perm uta tions. Recently, I was subjected to industrial-sized grazing at an enormous gala in celebra tion o f an institutional birth day. Try as they did to make it a classy affair — the cost of the festivities could surely have fed a small nation — elegance hit the compost heap the m om ent countless multitudes were squashed together chug ging free booze and gnawing meat off sticks. The truckload of cheese cubes — perspiring in sync with the grazers’ fore heads — dum ped onto folding tables alongside the ubiquitous vegetable crudites didn’t add to the ambiance. N or did the lack o f horizontal surfaces, making trash-bin lids the unintended focus o f the soiree — gotta set them plastic wine goblets, oyster shells and meat sticks somewhere. But it’s not the meat, it’s the emotion. Even optim um dining conditions are only as pleasant as the company you keep. This past summer, in a perfectly nice Thai restaurant, cruel fate seated me beside a gang o f pilots who, between rating the sex appeal o f flight attendants, said things like, “Man, this is some spicy shit. Was your shit spicy, too?” We’re not what we eat, but how we eat. If Julia was there, she would have decked them.

In this country, dining typically has all the romantic allure of a . trip to the gas station: Open wide, fill ’er up, hit the road, Jack.__ operate heavy machinery while eating meals requiring cutlery should receive doubly harsh punishm ents. N ot only is D W E danger ous, it’s aesthetically disastrous: I once had a boss who ate things like spaghetti and meat balls en route to out-of-town meetings, forcing me to dream up tactful ways to tell him he m ight w ant to wipe the sauce from his face before we met the' bank president. Actual indoor restaurant dining is — thank heavens for small favors — generally a sta tionary event. Still, this pro vides no guarantee of a favor able eating milieu. Fast-food chains, for instance, have uni formly heinous lighting condi tions, bathing meals and patrons alike in a sickly fluo rescent glaze. Given that there are an estimated 300,000-plus such establishments stretching from sea to shining sea, the opportunities for grim meals are infinite. O r how about dinner in the cavernous gloom o f a “Food C o u rt” at the local mall — is there any more effective ly depressing setting for a meal?.The few times I’ve been trapped in this injudicious environm ent, I ’ve feared being handed a loser life-sentence at the exit. “All You Can Eat” buffets are another example o f dining run amuck. Objectively observe hordes lining up for this preserved-under-heatlamp bargain gluttony, and you can’t help but imagine piggies at a trough. To think “buffet” originally described a stately French sideboard with discreet drawers and cup boards! T he m ulti-item salad

LET T H E F E S T IV ITIE S B E G IN ! t one minute past midnight on the third Thursday of each November, from little villages and towns like Romaneche-Thorins, over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world. Banners proclaim the good news: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arive! The New Beaujolais Has Arrived!” One of the most frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world has begun.

wine works invites you to celebrate the uncorking o f Beaujolais Nouveau 2000 .

S U N R IS E , S U N S E T J& ^eaujolais Nouveau began as a local phenomenon in the local bars cafes and bistros of Beaujolais and Lyons. Each fall the new Beaujolais would arrive with much fanfare. In pitchers filled from the growers’ barrels, wine was drunk by an eager population.

the uncorking begins at io:ooam. tastings continue throughout the day. food and live music begin at 7:00 pm.

W O R L D W ID E C E LE B R A TIO N part from the fanfare, what makes Beaujolais Nouveau so popular? Simply put, Beaujolais Nouveau is as about as close to white wine t as a red wine can get due to the way it is made. It tastes best when chilled, makes for a festive wine to be gulped rather than sipped, enjoyed in high spirits rather than critiqued.

good wine shop is a bit like a church. Regular supplicants feel quite comfortable ensconced inside. They’ve been there a mil lion times and know just what to say and do. But for those who stop in only for the two or three big holidays o f the year, attendance can bring w ith it a degree o f nervousness or discomfort. You might imagine the vicar is about to walk down the aisle and discover that you haven’t kept up on California’s 847 wineries, or that you don’t really know the difference between a Reisling and a Quisling. If the day before Thanksgiving finds you mak ing one o f your infrequent pilgrimages to a special ty wine store, or even the wine aisles o f the local beverage outlet, pay attention. We’ve contacted some folks who could make the trip this year little more pleasant — and satisfying for your guests or hosts. Let’s make clear the basic message first: “Thanksgiving is less about the wine you drink than who you’re serving it to,” says Bob Conlon, manager o f Leunig’s Bistro in Burlington. “It’s not about w hat’s the best wine to drink, but about what works for everybody sitting around the table. “Most o f the people I eat Thanksgiving with don’t drink wine that often. I’m the guy who

drinks the wine. So I w ant to bring wine that they all like,” C onlon adds. His top choice for a crowd-pleasing Thanksgiving wine is the Beaujolais Nouveau. “For people w ho don’t drink wine often, that’s a real approachable w ine,” Conlon recommends. “It comes o ut a week before Thanksgiving, and gener ally if you don’t buy the bottles that are flown over, by the time Thanksgiving comes around you can’t find it anywhere,” he notes. In other words, plan ahead. C onlon plans to serve three or four bottles o f the nouveau stuff for Thanksgiving guests next week. His second option would be a W hite Zinfandel, which he calls “very approachable” as well. But if Conlon were to dine alone on Thanksgiving, pleasing only one wine palate would be easy — a 1997 Pinot N oir from Cam bria Julia’s Vineyard in Santa M aria Valley, California, for about $22. T he Pinot N oir production at this vine yard near Santa Barbara is highly regarded. “This wine goes well w ith all sorts o f food — white meat turkey, stuffing w ith pork meat, sweet vegetables,” says C onlon. “It goes well w ith everything.” Pinot N oir is also a top choice for Carolyn Swiatek, owner o f the Beverage Warehouse in W inooski. “T he Pinot N oir I would recommend

would be a Bouchine, from California.” Swiatek’s daughter Jennifer is one of the wine m an agers at the store and recom mends the Echelon Pinot N oir from 1999. This wine from California’s Central Coast is cur rently on sale for $ 1 2 .6 9 ., Jennifer Swiatek' knows that lower-priced wines are popular for holidays. “M ost Thanksgiv ing meals have a table o f people and you w ant to p ut out a few bottles o f wine,” she observes. For the budget-conscious, she recommends the 1999 D uck Pond Pinot N oir from the W illam ette Valley in Oregon. “It’s hard to go w rong w ith a Pinot N oir from Oregon or W ashington. For the money, D uck Pond is one o f the best choices. It has a little stronger strawberry characteristic; it’s m uch more earthy, like it should be,” Jennifer says. But one choice may not be enough for Thanksgiving. “You can’t just pair a wine to the main course,” she says. “There are so many platters o f food that go w ith a Thanksgiving meal. You could easily start w ith a , Chardonnay, or perhaps a Beaujolais or Cham pagne before the meal, and then a Pinot Noir w ith the main course and finish w ith a dessert w ine.” Jennifer will be hosting her m om and about 10 or 12 others at this year’s Thanksgiving din ner. She m ight surprise guests at the end o f the meal w ith an im ported beer, such as a Belgian white beer — Blanc de Bruges — with orange peel and other spices. An 11-ounce bottle runs $2.59. “It’s an interesting beer that pairs well w ith spicy or fruity dishes. It’s delicious with apple or pum pkin pie,” Jennifer notes. Trattoria Delia manager and wine aficionado Adam True has a perfect com bination o f wines in m ind for Thanksgiving. “C ham pagne, Pinot N oir and Amarone,” he states flatly. “Amarone is an Italian red wine made from

dried grapes. It’s very rich, with a high level o f residual sugar. It’s basically made from raisins, and it fits somewhere between a red wine and a dessert w ine.” Amarone can be expensive due to the fact that the wines are aged up to six or seven years before release, according to True. A 1991 Amarone from the Zurrato house sells for $33 at the Beverage Warehouse. D on’t call it a dessert wine, even though it provides a nice finish to a holi day meal. A less expensive end-of-meal choice m ight be the 1998 Moscato D ’Asti, from the Italian producer Saracco, which costs about $15 a bottle. Moscato is the name of the white grape used to make the wine; it’s the oldest grape grown in the Piedm ont region o f Italy. “This wine has a wonderfully clean sweetness,” says Jennifer Swiatek. “It’s got a little carbonation to it. It’s not really Cham pagne, but it tickles your tongue. It’ll go with any dessert; it’s not too heavy.” Speaking o f white wines, W ine Works co-owner Brent Sloan has some recommenda- , tions. “There are some wonder ful white wines which do really well at Thanksgiving,” he says. “There’s a little district in north western France called Anjou ‘ where they use the wonderful Chenin Blanc grape.” T he wine is bottled under the house name, B. de Fesles, and sells for $13.50. “This wine is like a laser beam in your m outh,” Sloan enthuses. “It’s got a nice, bright acidity to it. A Chardonnay is sort o f like a GE soft-white light; this is the opposite.” Gentil “H ugel” is a white wine from the Alsace region in northeastern France that blends five grape types. “It has a slight flowery arom a,” Sloan says. “It fools your brain into thinking you’re going to have som ething sweet, but then it’s nice and dry and clean.” Gerwurztram iner has become a favorite holiday wine, in part because o f Bon Appetit articles in the ’90s pairing it with Thanksgiving menus laden with

“Pinot Noirs in general! milk of th e T m e ^ /o rk H They are not rea concentrate i M i iiiiiM ii3 n « n ir W ine Works co-owner 1 :1 7 3 illM r iT s T f l spicy entrees and side dishes. “Gerwurztram iner is definitely spicy, it’s got a lot o f wood spices to it, like cloves, cardamom and nutm eg,” Sloan says. “So it’s a wonderful match for ham .” T he Becker Gerwurztram iner from France sells for $11 at W ine Works. Sloan is having traditional turkey at his W illiston hom e this year, but cooked in a non-traditional way that reflects his affini ty for Cajun cuisine. “We deepfry the whole turkey; it’s very popular down in Louisiana, and it’s working its way n o rth ,” he says. “It takes about 25 or 30 minutes, and you don’t get a crust like fried chicken. It’s the most amazing turkey you’ll ever have.” To com plem ent the bird, Sloan also recommends a Pinot N oir selection. “O ne o f our best selling Pinot Noirs is actually from Australia; it’s called Turram urra,” he notes. “We came upon Turram urra on a trip to Australia and fell in love with

Serving Temperatures The best tem perature for serving wine varies according to the type. In general, though, Americans tend to drink white wines too cold and red wines too warm. Here are the recommended temps in Fahrenheit. 45 degrees: M ost white wines, including C henin Blancs, Sauvignon Blancs, Loire W ines, Rieslings and “everyday” Chardonnays. If they’re served colder, the aromas and flavors will be minimized and you w on’t get full enjoyment. 5 0 degrees: Full-bodied, high-quality white wines, including Sauternes and rich, white Burgundies. Light red wines like Beaujolais.

GREGORY/ ^ B U ILD IN G \ l r

60 degrees: Red wines such as C abernet Sauvignon, M erlot, Bordeaux, Zinfandel, Rhones and Syrah/Shiraz. M ost people have heard that red wines should be served at “room” tem perature, but th at’s really a reference to “cellar” tem perature, which is about 55 degrees. T he reason red wines are best enjoyed at slightly reduced tem peratures is that alcohol will produce an unpleasant bite on the palate w hen served at “nor mal” room tem perature. But there’s no need to get hung up on exact temperatures or haul out a thermometer. Serve your red wines slightly chilled (34 minutes in an ice bucket or 30 m inutes in a refrigerator) and your white wines a little warm er than usual by pulling them out o f the refrigerator or ice bucket a few m inutes before serving. To keep a white wine at proper serving tem perature at the table, let the bottle rest on top o f the ice rather than subm erging it in the ice bucket. Source: www.cellarnotes.net

he tall windows lined with charming cotton-print cur tains invite a look outside, but the view across the street from Scrumptious is unreward ing: a stone building o f little dis tinction save for a cracked win dow, some half-hearted graffiti and a now-unnecessary blue-andwhite placard for Sen. Jim Jeffords, which apparently is the only thing occupying the first floor. It’s an inauspicious spot for a thriving cafe here at the junction of N orth and N orth Champlain streets in Burlington; the view inside is far more welcoming. T hat s exactly what Scrumptious has done for the last couple of years: welcome a loyal, and grow ing, clientele. And not just with pretty fabrics, sunflowery walls of yellow and green, and cheery M ary Englebreit prints overlook ing eight cozy tables for two. It’s the food, o f course, which easily lives up to the cafes name. The staple tomato-basil soup, for starters. Certain customers would give a whole lot more for the recipe than the $2.65 owner Barbara Cook charges for a bowl. “I’ve given other recipes away, but I won’t give that one,” the aptly named Cook says with an impish grin. She reveals only that the recipe, like her husband Alan, is from Texas. T he rest of the items on her m enu — all under $6 — demonstrate a dedi cation to food that is fresh, light and easy to eat either on the premises or back at the office: Spicy Black Beans, Grilled Chicken Breast Strips on Mesclun, Pinto Bean Wrap, a variety o f soups and sandwiches. And o f course there’s that display case full of fresh-baked cookies and pastries — the epitome of tem ptation. At the other end o f a deli-style counter stands a bank

o f thermal pots offering six kinds of coffee and four teas. Though Cook has literally cornered the foot traffic in her ’hood — she says 50 to 60 per cent o f her customers walk here -— the scarcity o f parking around Scrumptious would still suggest certain death for any restaurant. A u contraire, drive-by diners come for take-out on their way to work, or zip over at lunchtim e for group orders. Cook has learned the value of fax appeal — like a few other Burlington restaurateurs, she sends out her weekly specials m enu to work places around town. Patty M otch is one devoted customer on wheels. T he director of development and com m unity relations for the Visiting Nurse Association, she lives in Burlington and drives by Scrumptious every morning. “I’m always hoping the light at the corner is red so I can read her creative menu board,” says M otch, who’s particularly enthu siastic about the scones. “My team at the VNA loves scones,” she adds, “so I often stop by. There are lots o f us here who are regulars. It’s very imaginative and creative fare.” T he Scrumptious customer count is growing so steadily that landlord Ken Axelson has per suaded Cook to expand into the rest o f the building’s vacant first floor — where he operated the short-lived Cafe N o N o a few years back. “M y intention was to remain small,” Cook says, “but the dem and was greater than I expected.” By Christmastime, the cafe will look out over N orth Street as well as N orth Cham plain, adding another 20 seats. Even then, Cook plans to remain open only for breakfast and lunch. But she’ll have one brand-new feature for the daytime crowd: “It’s a fully equipped conference room ,” says Cook, showing off the saw-

SC’OWNER Scrumptious owner Barbara Cook prepares 60 flavors of scones dust-covered expansion-inprogress. “There are so many nonprofits, school groups, etc. in this neighborhood who need a place to meet. W e’ll charge a nominal fee for people who don’t have food, and no fee for people who eat.” She plans to ask area corporations for donations o f meeting-specific supplies. This accom m odation speaks, more than anything, to C ook’s com m unity spirit and her grati tude to the so-called “Enterprise Zone” in the O ld N orth End. Scrum ptious owes its existence to the C om m unity and Economic Developm ent Office, the Vermont D evelopm ent Credit Union and the Verm ont C om m unity Loan Fund, and she’s adam ant about crediting those small-business resources. But o f course, the cafe also owes its success to its happy cus tomers, who in turn owe their satisfaction to the food and friendliness Scrum ptious pro vides every day. “This place is a great addi tion to the neighborhood,” vows regular M ark Johnson, who lives nearby and works as a radio talk-show host at W K D R . Johnson notes the fish chowder in particular draws him “telepathically” from his hom e nearby. “It’s just w onderful,” echoes frequent diner Melodie Brothers, owner o f Vantage Press just around the corner. “It’s refresh ing, it’s different. I just referred somebody there yesterday, a cus tom er who needed to wait a few minutes for us to package som e thing for her. She came back and said, ‘T h at was a great place!”’ Scrum ptious was inspired by a French deli-style cafe in Dallas, Cook says. T he place was perfect for “people w ho w ant nice food and a nice environm ent but don’t have tim e for, or w ant, table serv ice.” T h a t form ula clearly works

in Burlington, as the hopping business at, downtown lunch spots like the Red O nion Deli, A nything’s Pastable and Stone Soup has already demonstrated. “Now there are days,” says Cook, “when every square inch of the floor is covered by people waiting in line.”

arbara C ook seems so happy in an apron that no one w ould guess she’d trad ed in a nurse’s uniform less than four years ago. This medium-tall blond with a disarming smile and twinkly eyes quit her post in a dermatology office, “disillusioned with the world of medicine as I once knew it,” she says. But Cook, now a youthful 61, had food-biz experience long before that. A St. Albans native, she and

Dissatisfied with her own career, Cook relates that a friend encouraged her to open a tea room — much like the one she had so admired in Dallas. She began to look around, first on Church Street, but no location worked out. Another year went by, during which time The Artful Baker at N orth and N orth Champlain streets rose and fell. Happily for Cook, “it had every thing I needed — ovens and everything.” T he locale “chose me,” Cook says simply. “I quit my job in May and opened Scrumptious in July. Then I thought, ‘W hat am I doing in the O ld N orth End?”’ W ith a laugh, Cook now readily answers her own question: “I know my customers. I know what they like — I know what to start fixing when I see them

'adding another 20 s e a t T ^ H her first husband shared a restau rant and gift shop — and two sons, now 23 and 29. Several years after her divorce two decades ago, Cook inexplica bly moved to Dallas. “I had to go there to meet my current hus band,” she offers. T hough a pro fessional photographer, Alan C ook was drawn to medicine. After six years together in Texas, the couple moved back here, and he is now in medical school at the University o f Vermont. “H e’s the one who had the urge to come back here,” Cook says. “H e’s a Texan, but he loves V erm ont.”

coming.” Indeed, some patrons are so regular, and so predictable, that Cook has named sandwiches after them. There’s the “Pete Special,” for instance — named for Peter Jose Selikowitz, a Burlington Parks & Rec employ-, ee whose palate inspired the roasted vegetables, rice, cheese and chicken wrap. Selikowitz lives in the New N orth End and has been patronizing Scrumptious since it opened. “Barbara’s energy makes the place unique and special,” he says. Continued on page 14a

“And the food is great. In the beginning I went because she was the underdog, but the word o f m o u th ... when you have som ething good to sell, people will go the extra half-mile.” O ther inspirations for her eclectic menu? “I’ve collected recipes all my life,” Cook says with a shrug. She uses local pro duce as much as possible, and prepares fresh veggies daily. M uch of the baking is done on the premises, though some items come from area bakeries. “I try to be seasonally appro priate,” Cook notes, “such as w ith pum pkin scones. We make 60 different flavors o f scones — that’s where I’ve really expressed myself,” she adds. T hough she’s a sole propri etor, C ook is quick to credit her employees: “Everyone who works here contributes,” she insists. “Everyone” includes a N E C I grad, Barbara N edd, who does m uch o£the cooking; counterperson Melissa Carlson; baker M argot W hite, a former social worker “who wanted a change”; and Betty Barnes, a “sprightly older woman w ho’s just a character,” describes Cook. A ballroom dancer by night, Barnes comes in between 6 and 8 a.m. to arrange the baked goods in the case and pack up wholesale orders. “She’s part o f the landscape here,” says Cook w ith obvious apprecia tion. T he m orning crowd is appreciative, too — their wakeup goodies w ouldn’t be there if Cook hadn’t arrived at four in the m orning to “get the coffee and the pastries going.” By 6:45 it’s “showtim e,” as C ook calls the m om ent the “open” flag goes out and the sleepy-eyed customers come pouring in. It’s a grueling schedule, as anyone in the breakfast business knows, * b ut the staff at Scrumptious doesn’t let it show. Last June, an article in The N ew York Times travel section took note o f the unusual eatery way off the typical tourist path. T he sum m er’s bad news didn’t make headlines, but spoke to Barbara Cook loud and clear: She fell down the stairs to her basement office, broke four ribs and punctured a lung. T he mishap put her out of commis sion for a m onth — and taught her a lesson many small-busi ness owners learn the hard way: the im portance o f a little time off. “I needed a break really badly, and that’s w hat I got,” C ook says ruefully. Now almost fully recovered, she’s planning a real vacation this Thanksgiving — back to Dallas. Meanwhile, the neighbor hood will be giving thanks for Scrumptious. “I told Barbara w hen she first opened up that I had to keep her in business,” says Brothers. “I’d eat there every day just to keep her there. It was a welcome addition.” ®

A pastrophobic comes to terms with her crust issues By Gretchen Giles

might be in the minority, but I find that there is something ineffably satisfy ing about standing bathrobed in the kitchen on a cold Thursday m orning sunk up to the elbow in the frigid, unyielding anus o f a defrosting turkey, trying to grab the little bag of yuck secreted inside. This is no sport for fun, mind you, but the seri ous beginning to the serious work of building Thanksgiving dinner from the bird up. W hile certainly among the more American of holidays, Thanksgiving nonetheless has a pharaonic aspect, the dinner a veritable pyramid of challenges that thousands of slaves might perish try ing to roll into perfect balance, one atop the other. At the mighty acme sits that most elusive o f all constructs: the dam ned pie.

W hosoever coined the terrible lie, “as easy as pie,” has presumably already suf fered a dreadful demise. I personally feel no remorse or compassion for this passing. I much prefer to embrace the giddy Gallic truth of “as easy as pate,” or the Italianate flourish o f “as easy as pesto,” both o f which need merely be uttered in front o f a food processor, and — voila! or prego! — there they be. Easily. Pie, she is a different donkey. And, like a donkey, pie is stubborn, unpredictable, follows no known tune, and is changeable from m om ent to m om ent. There ain’t nothin’ easy about it. To be fair, perhaps that awful liar was thinking o f filling when he or she first m entioned pie in easy terms. Filling is indeed a cinch. Peel some fruit, cut it up, sugar and spice it, add a bit o f tapioca or flour, let it sit. O pen a can, spoon out the pum pkin, sugar and spice it, add evaporat-

ed milk, let it sit. In each case, pour the filling into the crust for baking. W hich brings us with m ighty immediacy to the rub o f all pie plights: the crust itself. Proof that cooking is nothing but chemistry for the m outh, the science o f crust makes quantum physics seem like preschool fodder. Poke around long enough and you’ll eventually figure out quarks completely. Spend a lifetime weep ing in an apron over a well-floured board and you may never discover all the dis parate miracles that m ust conspire together in order to form a crust. Temperature and measuring surely play im portant roles in the bawdy passion play that is crust-m ak ing; the rest is pure mystery. Unfortunately, leveling the flour, exact ly eyeing the cold liquid, and determ ining from the little lines on the cube’s package what five teaspoons o f butter might look like all take an exactitude that I simply don’t possess. If learning to cook overall has launched my leaky little frigate o f a soul onto an Odyssean adventure, trying to make crust usually swamps me with Circe, baying like a sailor seduced into a

gravy. I understood the importance of making scratch cornbread the week before and then breaking the heavy clumps daily with my fingers until they silkened and staled for the stuffing. This heavy load was not going to bow me under. I was % man. I could cook this meal, as had my m other before me, her m other before her, and so on in a sepia-tinged line o f benevo lent matriarchs. M ost of whom, I now note, are dead.

pigBut pie nonetheless remains para m ount for Thanksgiving, the kingpin o f the rolling pin, peevishly dem anding ice cream and w hipped cream and special plates and the rewashing o f forks. Its terri ble law m ust be served. And so it was that when I hosted my first T-day dinner 10 years ago, I foolishly insisted on preparing everything myself, even the pie. T he island o f Circe was not yet in sight and I felt safe from its shores. I had taken a cooking class on The Thanksgiving Dinner. I had the instruc tor’s grandm other’s recipes. I had testkitchened the cranberry sauce and the

a bottle o f wine, with which I was going to plum p some raisins. Sniffed it. Lied to myself that it might be nice with coffee. H ad a sip. Gave a tender little moue o f the m outh and poured a full glass. I was drunk by noon. Still in my bathrobe, the turkey safely in and brown ing, I turned unsteadily to dessert. Unfortunately, I hadn’t test-kitchened pie. In fact, I had only once before assayed the regal challenges o f creating it, and that was for a new lover. Kitchen Tip: You can feed

rewashing of forks. Its terrible aw must be served. But I digress. W hen I arose on that fateful Thursday, bathrobed in the cold kitchen, up to my elbow in the frigid, unyielding anus o f a defrosting turkey, grasping for the yuck, I made a decision. I had already spent three nights cooking, it was 7:30 in the m orning, and I was thor oughly sick of the whole thing — in a womanly kind o f way, o f course. I opened

a new lover garden snails and, if he or she is w orthy of you, he or she will exclaim in delight. But I had so far abstained from such amour with the seven relatives and friends due to arrive in three hours, so I felt the first small twinge of panic that presages a full-faced, drunken assault on flour, salt, water and butter.

Like a cruel asp, my crust awaited wak ening. I couldn’t rouse it. Pat, pat, pat, I blearily added the ice water a sloppy tea spoon at a time. I sm udged the butter through w ith my fingers. Tried to form a ball. Instead formed an obstinate thwack o f wet flour product w ith lots o f unincor porated dry flour product stubbornly stay ing behind. It finally occurred to me to sober up. I p u t the crust aside and showered, dressed, had some o f that old, thick coffee I’d neg lected in favor o f a sassy sauvignon in the early hours. T he headache began. I re addressed the crust. Threw it all out and started over. D id that two more times. Pat, pat, slop, slop, smudge, smudge, thwack, thwack, toss, toss. A nd then, in a m om ent o f desperate epiphany, the Lie Pie hit me with its bril liance. I had sheets o f puff-pastry dough just sitting in the freezer, left over from my appetizer exertions and now definitely come-hither. I quickly defrosted them, rolled them out, pricked them with a suavity that w ould have made Julia Child proud, and briefly cooked them. Added the lovely wonderful filling, covered it with more fake-frozen-dough-that-someone-in-a-factory-made-for-me, and threw the whole thing back in the oven. Voila and prego\ T he pie was done. Easy. Now too far from girlhood to be any thing but W om an, I can confidently antic ipate Thanksgiving and its usual play of unyielding, defrosting anus. Secure in the knowledge that the Lie Pie is only one aisle o f frozen foods away, I always respond when guests ask w hat they can bring by innocently shrugging, “Just pie.” Let them figure it out. ®

“ Build it, and they w ill come By M arialisa Calta ost people w ho like to cook dream o f the per fect kitchen, and Jeffrey Weiss is no exception. His ideal kitchen includes several profes sional ranges and convection ovens, rotisseries for fowl and game, a pizza station — com plete with refrigerated bins for keeping toppings fresh — a pas try station and a staff o f 17, excluding dishwashers. If tM t r sounds more extensive than w hat

m ost o f us covet, its because Weiss is the new executive chef at the Stoweflake Resort & Conference C enter in Stowe. Weiss designed the 8000square-foot kitchen when he arrived in mid-September. The resort is ponying up an estimated half-m illion dollars to turn his concept into reality. “Jeffrey told us that in order to achieve the level we are aspir ing to, we’d have to basically gut the kitchen and rebuild,” says m arketing director Stephanie

Kittell. “We were ready to go in this direction.” C huck Baraw, president and owner o f Stoweflake, said that Weiss not only persuaded him to rebuild the kitchen — adding about 1000 square feet to the floor plan — but also to upgrade the separate, 10,000-square-foot conference kitchen and double the cooking staff.

Or, as Kittell puts it, into a restaurant serving “New American cuisine w ith regional accents.” W infield’s and the adjacent pub, Charlie B’s, closed this past Sunday for the renovations, and are set to re-open in midDecember. Each eatery will have a fresh m enu, and W infield’s will have a new, yet-to-be-announced

name. “We were looking to bring the highest possible level of expertise to Stowe,” says Baraw. “In Jeff, I think we’ve done th at.” He describes Weiss as “a true professional” who is “very calm and low-key, but a strong leader.” For Weiss, 34, the Stoweflake is the latest stop in a fast-paced career that saw him cooking in Europe — where he completed a classic French, two-year appren

ticeship in his m others native Sweden — and in the U.S. at several establishments, most recently w ith Ritz Carlton hotels in Palm Beach, Atlanta and Cleveland. Raised in both Craftsbury and Stockholm — he’s fluent in Swedish — Weiss has a resume that includes a degree in culinary arts from Johnson & Wales in Providence, Rhode Island, and a stint in the early ’90s at Topnotch, also in Stowe. In Florida, Weiss worked w ith Yves Gamier, a Michelinstarred chef from M onte Carlo. Weiss’ recent move back to Vermont occurred for several reasons, primarily because he has young, school-age children and because he and his wife, Kristen, a cosmetologist who was raised in Newport, Vermont, felt it was time to settle down. “This place has a lot of potential,” Weiss says of the Stoweflake. W orkmen snapping measuring tapes crisscross his path, stopping to ask him ques tions about window placements, dust barriers and stove clearance. “I was up for a change, and so was the resort.” Landing in Stowe in the midst o f foliage season, Weiss made immediate adjustments to the menus. At Charlie B’s, a casual eatery named after Baraw’s grandfather, Weiss introduced crispy Thai calamari, chicken yakitori and beef carpaccio. He kept the “Charlie B’s Burger” on

N O W O FFERING :

If you ve been diagnosed with genital herpes, you can appreciate the importance of developing new treatment options. Because, so far, no available treatments are totally effective at treating the disease. Right now, a clinical research study evaluating an investigational medication is underway at University of Vermont in Burlington. If you are 18 to 65 years of age with a history of frequently occurring genital herpes outbreaks, we invite you to participate. The medication and all study-related medical care wilt be provided free of charge, and you will be compensated for your time and travel. The medical staff conducting this study is courteous, respectful, professional and, of course, expert at treating genital herpes. And your participation will be kept strictly confidential. By taking part, you will gain insights and help the medical community learn more about genital herpes. Your participation could also lead to a new treatment and may provide hope for millions of others living with the disease.

Space in the study is limited. For more information or to see if you qualify, please call toll-free

Kitchen Wishes Continued from page 19a the menu, but added a portabella, oven-dried tom ato and buffa lo mozzarella burger. Likewise, a fried mozzarella appetizer was upgraded w ith tom ato jam and basil vinaigrette, and barbecued chicken was paired in a sandwich w ith prosciutto and goat cheese. A t W infield’s Weiss added lobster to the mashed potatoes, and served vanilla-infused yams with the maple-glazed pork chops. “T he reaction was instanta neous, dram atic and positive,” says Kittell o f Weiss’ new menu. But “some o f the regulars were upset that I was messing w ith their favorites,” Weiss admits. “I don’t w ant to get too crazy,” says the chef, who seems to be an easy-going and hum ble kind o f guy. “I don’t w ant to scare people.” Weiss is interested, first and foremost, in obtaining the best possible ingredients available. In past jobs, he says, he’s visited farms and traveled aboard fishing boats to see how food is harvest ed and handled. O nce, in Cleveland, he designed an entire m enu around some 30 to 40 varieties o f heirloom tomatoes grown for him by a local farmer. He has already begun talking with local growers here, and is interested in the Verm ont Fresh

Network, w hich helps link grow ers and chefs. Weiss believes in making everything — including stocks and bread — from scratch. “I don’t believe in taking short cuts,” he says firmly. H e’s also interested in cooking more game and seafood, and in introducing low-fat, heart-healthy cuisine to the m enu to com plem ent the Stoweflake’s large spa facilities. T he resort, which presents a deceptively low-key face to the M ountain Road, is the largest in Stowe, according to Kittell, and the area’s only AAA four-dia m ond resort. It sprawls over 60 acres, and offers 94 guest rooms, enorm ous conference facilities and 30 townhouses, six more of w hich will be completed by spring. Visitors have their way w ith indoor and outdoor pools, racquetball courts, a beauty salon, a large w ork-out room and a variety o f spa treatments. The resort also offers tennis, golf, hiking and, o f course, winter activities such as snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing and sleigh rides. Food service ranges from breakfast buffets for 50 to con ference banquets for 500. “T here’s a ton o f stuff going on here,” says Weiss. “There are m any opportunities — from room service to banquets — to produce great food. I’m looking forward to it all.” ®

Mystery food bags are silently handed off from coaches to cyclists, who carefully encase the bags in backpacks to protect them from the rain. The starting horn blows, and amid whoops and cheers the cyclists race down Church Street toward the Burlington bike path. Amid the chaos, a stocky foreign man nego tiates his way to N ECI’s door and asks, “Are you serving breakfast today?” A volunteer leads him to the take-out market, where two staffers await customers and rotisserie chickens spin and sputter. I head back to the gratis spread and eat a muffin top.

Student chefs from five culinaryarts schools convened at NECI Commons November 5 to mix it up at the 2000 Quadrathlon. The intramural event combining food and fitness was initiated by the New England Culinary Institute in the mid-’80s and, in the spirit of the Olympics and N EC I’s 20th anniversary celebration, was revived after a long hiatus.

Downtown Burlington is a wasteland on this cold, rainy Sunday morning, but it’s standingroom-only inside NECI Commons on Church Street. Budding chefs, their supporters and volunteers wearing orange vests swarm the entire first floor, reviewing recipes and concocting last-minute strate gies over scones and French roast. Stashing my umbrella behind the hostess stand, I nudge through the crowd searching for someone in charge. A helpful NECI staffer leads me to the basement level,

Unfortunately, we’ve just missed the stuffing ceremonies, but NECI executive sous chef and instructor Sarah Langan unlocks a storage room and divulges the

Quickly and silently the prep cooks unload fish, vegetables and herbs and immedi ately begin to chop and mince.

“Are you prepping or deciding on a menu?” I ask Thomas Browse of Paul Smith College. “At the moment I’m doing both,” he replies without breaking the rhythm of his flashing knife. By 8:35 five o f the six stations are staffed, and the scents o f zested lemons and pungent fresh garlic perfumes the air. Bonus ingredi ents, including garlic, onions and parsley, have been provided in a communal plastic bin. A trio of technical judges — all NECI administrators — circles the busy chefs, observing, writing notes on a clipboard, scoring points for clean liness, sanitation, speed and effi ciency. At 8:40 the last runner arrives, and his prep cook claims her mystery bag. Unlike her male peers, she studies her ingredients and writes out her menu before wielding a knife. The prep kitchen is formally known as the culinary theater, so it’s appropriate that NECI execu tive chef and instructor Vincent lacocca is entertaining me with the story of how he lost a finger last year to that weird flesh-eating dis ease. “Three out of 10 people who get it die,” he says lightly, as if delivering a punch line. Blinking back oniony tears, I head to the hallway. Through the window dividing the culinary the ater from the hall, two dozen onlookers peer so intently you’d think TV chef Emeril Lagasse and Martha Stewart were flambeing prairie oysters inside. The crowd parts only for the first hurried prep cook, who emerges carrying an enormous silver tray laden with his

hand-written menu, along with carrot flowers, julienned peppers, cleaned snapper and scrubbed potatoes arranged in shiny foil pans, wrapped in plastic wrap and ready to cook. But not yet. 8:55 a.m. In front o f NECI Commons, six runners clad in shorts, T-shirts, leggings and wool gloves run and jump in place, awaiting their marching orders under a drizzling sky. Just like Olympians, they have numbers pinned to their backs — but then, so does M every member of each team, even the chefs.

Cobleskill team, miraculously returns. I follow his finish cook upstairs to the baking kitchen, which he and the five other chefs will share with the NECI staff preparing brunch for the general public. Amazingly, the staff also will find time and space to prepare a dinner for 100 members of the Vermont Lodging and Restaurant Association tonight. “We have a lot of kitchens,” says the timing judge, looking up briefly from her stop watch.

stir up as much drama as steroids in Olympic village. For starters, NECI-Essex finish cook Mike Montemurro discovers as his pota toes brown that he’s got the wrong menu. “It wasn’t on my tray. Someone handed it to me,” he informs the judges. The menu is addressed to Mike, but its also labeled for another team. Which means two finish cooks named Mike are cooking the wrong meal with the right ingredients — or sort of, since the prepped food stuffs and the menus jibe. o ^ don’tAsexactly the judges’ faces blanch, Montemurro, blue eyes flashing, slams cutting boards and pans. A student-helper whis pers to me, “I’ve known Mike for a year and a half, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen him get mad.” Meanwhile, the ^ j monitor for the running leg of the competition, easily recognizable in a colorful jester’s cap, is steaming about the SUNY Cobleskill team. “Their runner cut the run short, even though I kept yelling for him to stay on track,” he reports. This explains why the SUNY runner made it back in only five minutes — and 10 minutes before anyone else. The overwhelmed technical judges, however, are still working on that menu problem. After a brief huddle, they instruct the two finish cooks with the wrong menus, “Just go with what

9 a.m. The race begins as two prep cooks scramble out side to pass off their trays and prepared menus. Two runners, carefully balanc ing the heavy trays, dart off on a downtown loop d r of nearly a mile. Arms outstretched, they look like frantic robots power ing down Burlington’s pedestrian thoroughfare. Despite the wet weather, this run is a piece of cake compared to prior Quadrathlons at N ECI’s Montpelier venue, says publicist Ellen McShane. “In Montpelier, they had that big hill to maneu ver,” she reminds. “That’s where the true athletes really had an edge.”

The SUNY finish cook studies his slightly soggy handwritten menu and begins sauteing carrots, dodging a brunch chef unloading quiches from a cart.

9:30 a.m. Montemurro is ready to “plate” and serve his culinary creations to the finish judges — Steve Bogart, executive chef and owner of * Berlins A Single Pebble; Robert Fuller, owner and executive chef of Pauline’s Cafe and Restaurant and Leunigs Bistro; Rod Rehwrinkel, executive chef for the Perry Restaurant Group; Bon Appetit edi tor Randi Danforth; and Chefs Magazine editor Katie Ayoub. The problem: Nary a finish judge is in sight. “We should have told them to be back by 9 instead of 9:30,” McShane laments. In the kitchen, Montemurro complains to the technical judges that he is, in effect, being penal ized instead of rewarded for finish ing first. As the tiny proteins in his fish and potatoes break down minute by minute, leaching away freshness and flavor, he argues that all the teams should wait as long as he must to plate. 9:40 a.m. All six teams are ready to serve. Still no judges. “This is a common problem in the food industry,” notes Jim Zipko, a N ECI admissions coun selor and demonstration chef. “You have a table that’s lingering over their appetizers, and you’re ready

9:45 a.m. Enter the finish judges. One by one, each team’s server presents two plates of three dishes, served in the order of kitchen comple tion. Excellence in presentation, flavor, originality and service are what count now. Even table set tings earn points, while thumb prints cost them. For each new entry the judges migrate to another freshly laid table to somberly sample fingerling potatoes served roasted, caramelized, mashed and cooked in confip vegetables sauteed, blanched and julienned; and red snapper that’s been grilled, panroasted, marinated and sauteed. Between the loud simmer of conversation in the crowded room, and the judge’s cloistered whispers, I can’t make out a word of their deliberations, even while standing annoyingly close to their elbows. It’s as if they have a secret language of fork hovering, thoughtful chew ing and furrowed nods. 10:45 a.m. The last meal has been sam pled. Technical and finish judges disappear to deliberate. My request to sit in on this process has been succinctly and firmly denied. After waffling over being pushy or hit-* ting the brunch buffet, I opt for the latter, which affords time to talk to the chefs. I ask important culinary questions, like whether the snapper should be served skin side up or down. “Either is accept able with this type of fish,” says Iacocca, who may be missing a fin ger but knows his way around food. 11:15 a.m. Everyone is over-brunched and bored. Those of us seated at tables are lucky — dozens of student chefs and their supporters lean against walls and line the stairway. Discovering that I’m a vegetarian, someone coaxes Montemurro to share the hygiene horror stories he’s learning in one of his classes. Trading his toque for a baseball cap, he launches into said stories about mass-produced chickens,

slack industry standards for inspecting meat and the evils of hormone-spiked milk. How does a chef function around decomposing chicken and questionable fish? I ask. “We buy organic and know our suppliers,” Montemurro vows. 11:55 a.m. The judges emerge to thunder ous applause, motivated, I expect, more from relief than appreciation. Teams and judges are thanked. Iacocca, the master of ceremonies, announces awards for presentation, service and time. But it’s the medal winners we’re hungry for. NECIEssex — despite the beleaguered Montemurros’ menu and plating problems — gets the gold; SUNY Cobleskill earns the silver; and NECI-Montpelier takes the bronze. Each team member receives cooking knives and Olympic-style medals that dangle from blue ribbons. No anthem singing ensues, but hearty congrat ulations are dished up all around. Still curious about the judges’ closed door session, I quiz Randi Danforth about their lengthy deliberations. “It’s a very compli cated point system,” the wafer-thin Bon Appetit editor explains, “and there was a lot of back and forth among the judges about various aspects.” Her suggestions for future Quadrathlons: Stock the mystery baskets with more versatile ingredients, encourage the finish cooks to taste their food in process, and polish the servers’ skills. Veteran restaurateur Robert Fuller agrees. “O f course they’re all nervous,” he says kindly. “But one server got the name of the fish wrong three times, and only one checked back with us to see if we had questions. The restaurant busi ness is about people as much as it is about food.” 12:20 p.m. NECI employees clear what’s left of the brunch buffet. Finish judges linger for conversations with the administrative staff, but the student chefs and their entourages are long gone. Some have 5 a.m. classes tomorrow, and others are en route to New Hampshire or New York. Sated with delicious food and new culinary knowledge, I resolve > to dust off my stash of Gourmet magazines and, sometime soon, to prepare a dinner more complicated than toast. ®

ulinary confidence can come from rigorous schooling and lots of practice, but even the best chefs learn from trial and error — emphasis on the error. In fact, anyone who’s ever been near a kitchen has stories about some pret ty goofy gaffes. That’s why Steve Schimoler, chef-owner of the Mist Grill restaurant in Waterbury, is writing a book about them. Filled with anec dotes and recipes, the volume should be out late next year. “There’s certainly a fantasy among a lot of people who think the i restaurant scene is this glorified business where everyone gets rich,” says Schimoler, who has I owned and operated four places at the same time. “No one really knows the reality behind the scenes and what really happens.” Schimoler describes one particular incident with a well-known — though not universally well-liked — celebrity. “Howard Stern was a regular customer at one of my restau rants,” he recalls. “My sons chef, Stephen, didn’t like Howard at all. It was a Saturday, and Howard had been in the weekend before.” Schimoler gave his cook permission to have a little fun with Stern next time around. When he came in that night, Stern was accompanied by his wife, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister and Jackie Martling, his sidekick on the show. “O n the menu, we had a Loin of Buffalo stuffed with Wild Mushroom Duxelles, which he ordered,” Schimoler continues. “Stephen used the pastry bag with out the tip in it, and piped out on a plate this steaming pile of what looked like a perfect replica of dog shit. He walked over and presented this... and said, ‘Howard, this is what I think of your show!’ Jackie Martling picked up a spoonful and said, ‘Well it looks good to me!”’ Risky behavior, per haps, but it turned out Stern and company not only enjoyed the joke but the food as well. Connie Warden, chef-owner of Chow! Bella in St. Albans, remem bers one occasion when despera tion enhanced her culinary creativi ty. She was catering an event “out

Stephen used the pastry bag without the tip in it, and piped out on a plate this steaming pile of what looked like a perfect replica of dog shit.” — Steve Schimoler chef-owner. Mist Grill DiRuocco, manager and owner of Villa Tragara in Waterbury, relates an embarrassing menu mishap. “We had a mis take on our wine list — we had a red wine listed in the white wine category, and it was stocked in our fridge under the number on the menu,” DiRuocco explains. “A woman asked what wine we recommended, and we said that one, not knowing about the mistake. When the wait ress brought the wine to the table, the woman said she thought she had ordered a white wine. The waitress explained, ‘It looks like a red wine, but it’s really white wine, made with a mixture of white and red grapes.’ “She then asked if the woman wanted to sample the

laughable at the time. Dan Rogers, chef at Leunig’s Bistro in Burlington, tells about one such moment of misfortune. “I had hired a New York restaurant school intern for a short amount of time as a favor to a friend,” he begins. “The intern didn’t have any experience, so I had him do some food-prep work for me. One day, we were going to make a roasted tomato and eggplant soup, so I walked him through the procedure. I gave him a case of eggplant and told him the first thing is to roast the eggplant in the oven, and then he needed to scrape the meat out of the skin. “After quite awhile,” says Rogers, “he came back to me with a tray of roasted eggplant skins. I said, ‘So, where’s the other part of the eggplant?’ He knew, and I sud denly realized, that it was in the garbage!” . ^ Disaster seems to strike when emotions are high, especially during weddings, Schimoler says. One such occasion in his experience, well, takes the cake — through no fault of his own. It was a wedding in Long Island with 250 people, out doors under a tent. “The bride and groom were sup posed to dance, then the groom and his mother, and then the bride and her father. Then the cake was supposed to be cut,” Schimoler says. “W hen it

came time for us to get the bride and groom with their parents on the dance floor, we couldn’t find the brides mother or the grooms father. So the best man and I went down to the pool house, where we found the grooms father and the brides mother buck-naked in the middle of a heated sexual encounter.” Schimoler ended up serving most of that wedding cake “to go,” and serving as a counselor as well as a pastry chef. Sometimes, stress results in per sonal injury. Williston chef and food writer Molly Stevens says meeting deadlines can make you a little careless. “Last summer I was writing a potato cookbook, 300plus recipes of potatoes, so I was a little on edge,” she recalls. “It was pretty close to deadline, and I needed a sugar fix one morning while I was working. I had a bag of marshmallows in the house, and I’m cooking, and I take a fork and put them in the flame and it tasted good!” Unfortunately, Stevens bit down on the marshmallow that was stuck to the fork, having for gotten the utensil was piping hot. “I ran into the bathroom to see if my lips were even on my face still,”

she says. “They were okay, but within 10 minutes they started to puff, and I had four white streaks on both upper and lower lips!” Stevens’ painful slip reminds me of one of my own, back when I was a freshman in college. Confident in the way only the truly naive can be, I was cooking macaroni and cheese in the dorm lounge. I had just gone Rollerblading, and decided to leave the ’blades on while cooking. I put the pot on to boil, and went back to my room to grab a wooden spoon, the macaroni mix and a bowl. Since my hands were full, I put the spoon in my mouth. Well, that ramp down to the door was a little steeper than I remembered, and I cruised straight into the door, send ing the spoon down my throat. I vowed never to cook on wheels again. The only good thing about making mistakes is that they often insure you’ll never make them again — not the same ones, any way. Michel LeBorgne, a French chef and instructor at NECI Commons in Burlington, recalls a mishap that taught him a lesson. “I once burned seven chickens, and that’s all I could eat for the next seven days!” he says. His teachers made him eat his error. “I haven’t burned a chicken since.” We live and burn, er, learn. ®

FLOUR POWER Jay Vogler prepares his crust.

By Paula Routly hanley Hinge was happy to swap the mean streets o f New York City for Stone Wall Lane in C harlotte. But a year later, there’s one thing she still misses about manic M anhattan: take-out food. “In Charlotte, we don’t have a lot o f dining, or even food shopping, options,” laments the m other o f two; “A nd when you’re pressed for tim e ...” W hen she heard a local farmer was making wood-fired pizza to go, H inge drove around town for a week sniffing out the rumor. She found it crisped to perfection at Bingham Brook Farm, where every W ednesday Jay Vogler cooks up perfect 12inch, thin-crust pies. She’s made the pizza pilgrimage every week since. “T he quality,” she reports, “is excellent.” Hinge is one o f only a few dozen people who know about Vogler’s weekly “Pizza N ight” — a three-hour sizzle session that attracts some o f the most dis

crim inating palates in the area. Vergennes restaurateur Chrrstophe Lissarrague is among the regulars. So are Cheryl and Charlie Dooley, o f food- and craft-show fame, the owners of the Shelburne Supermarket, and A nnie’s D aughter caterer Pat Rodar. Located on the CharlotteH inesburg Road between Spear Street and M t. Philo Road, Bingham Brook is perfectly posi tioned for cuisine-seeking com muters. But to date, Vogler hasn’t advertised this outgrowth o f his subscriber-supported vegetable farm. Twice a week, when people came to pick up their produce, the artist-agriculturist found he Could make a little extra dough selling pizzas, at $10 a pop. Pretty soon, non-farm m em bers caught on. “T he big thing this fall was soccer moms calling me by cell phone from the field,” says Vogler. Since peak pizza sea son, when he was selling up to 40 pizzas a night, dem and has dropped to between 15 and 25 — once a week. But this year, Vogler is com m itted to “pizzaing”

His “garden” variety is tom ato and cheese w ith sauteed onions, zucchini and basil pesto. “Red” is tom ato and cheese, red peppers and kalamata olives. Vogler rarely piles more than three extra ingredients on his crust, which is rolled, not thrown. A couple o f Frenchmen make a special request for his garlic oil, sauteed onions and bleu cheese — it’s one o f their five-pie order. T he francophone contingent also has a soft spot for “tarte flambee” with sour cream, onions and bacon. “In pizzaing, less is m ore,” Vogler suggests, although he stops short of Neapolitan minimalism. “I like them sparser,” he says, “but then people think, well, w hat am I getting?” Vogler essentially believes in giving people the flavors they want. But he does it with taste. H e’s got a Chinese pizza he makes for his wife and two kids, with hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, scallions and mushrooms. He also has a baked-potato pizza, with spuds, sour cream, chives and bacon. “I was thinking o f a

all winter. If enough people respond, he may add a second night. Judging from the num ber of customers pulling into the dark farm on a November night, there’s certainly a market for it. Even w ithout the benefit o f a listing in the phone book, or a roadside sign, a steady stream o f hungry, well-heeled folks go for the glow. Some call from the road; others show up sponta neously at the door to the sweet smelling outbuilding between the barn and the house. Inside, Vogler jockeys back and forth between a floured countertop, the toppings table and the Hansel-and-Gretel-style oven. Despite the occasional pizza pileup, it’s pretty fast food. To keep things simple, Vogler offers no more than six varieties per night. In the summer, they feature his own farm-fresh veg etables. His kid-favored “plain” variety is standard-issue tomato and cheese. “Pepperoni and capers” is a compromise combo: “Kids get the pepperoni and the adults get the capers,” he offers.

T h e experience gave him agri cultural aspirations that must have set him apart in a “Beaver Cleaver” town just west of Newark, New Jersey.

A 53-inch circle w ith an insulat ed dome, “it’s like a giant heat sink,” Vogler says o f his handy heat source that warms up to 700 degrees in three hours.

He reaches for one o f the last remaining balls of dough, rolls it out thin onto a large wooden “peel,” doctors it accordingly, and slides it into the oven.

drink fresh-brewed, full-bodied coffee — not the flavored ver sion, please. My other preferred drinks are water, pure citrus juices and red wine. So what possessed me to go in search of the area’s best hot cocoa? Maybe it was pre-elec tion jitters — and, as it turned out, /><w?-election jitters as well. Or maybe it was for the same reason that Michael Conniff of South Burlington reluctantly puts his coins in the vending machine. “I buy hot chocolate from a machine, even though I know it’s made with water,” he says. “I watch the glop of cocoa drop into the cup, and then I’m always disap pointed when the water comes trickling down instead of milk. I always swear I’ll never do it again.” But although Conniff says there’s nothing worse than a bad hot chocolate, there are times “when even bad hot chocolate is better than no hot chocolate.” My quest for the perfect cup turned up an interesting history along the way — turns out choco late has been hot for millennia. The Mayans served chocolate beverages 2000 years ago to celebrate be trothals and marriages. Hernando Cortes returned from Mexico in the early 1500s with cocoa beans — and a recipe. He had discovered the Aztecs drinking ground cocoa mixed with water or wine, and sea soned with vanilla and peppers. It was the English who later added milk as a key ingredient, and the first hot cocoa shop opened in London in the mid-1600s. In the first quarter of the 19th century, Dutch chemist Coenraad Van Houten invented a cocoa press. The “Dutched” cocoa, as it came to be called, had less fat and acid than chocolate and was easier to blend

with milk. This smoother, richer, darker version became the standard of good European cocoas. In 1995, cocoa sales soared in Japan following the highly publi cized release of research suggesting that it might suppress or prevent certain diseases. In Spain, hot cocoa is viewed as a good source of ener gy for children. A study at the Harvard University School of Public Health speculates that antioxidants in chocolate may have a health benefit. If you’re not con vinced, you can find organic, vegan and even kosher cocoas on the Internet. And for all the claims about a chocolate rush — better blamed on the sugar — cocoa is 97.5 percent caffeine-free. A cup of cocoa has about one-tenth the amount of caf feine found in a cup of coffee. The “energy” contained in a cup of hot cocoa might have something to do with the feeling of being a kid, suggests NECI chef Peg Checchi of Waterbury. “It’s coming in after sliding all day,” she remi nisces, “and you’re so tired you can hardly move. But you need your cup of hot cocoa.” Angela Patten of Jonesville recalls growing up in Sallynoggin, Ireland, where the term is “drinking chocolate” — that is, hot milk and Cadbury’s chocolate powder from a tin. “Our father always made it at night before we went to bed,” Patten says. “It was one of the few things he cooked, so it was very special. You can’t beat a mug of drinking chocolate eaten with a big slice of Batch Loaf toasted on a fork at the fire and dripping with butter.” “Cocoa” and “hot chocolate” are used interchangeably in the U.S., and either term conjures up universal images of steaming mugs and warmed bellies. I asked my friend Pauline

Hollinworth to help me cover the local cocoa scene. Now 56, Pauline was raised in Yorkshire, England, and arrived in Vermont in 1985. When she travels home to England, which she does pretty regularly, she carries an empty suitcase that she fills mostly with chocolates, amaz ing the usually unflappable security guards at Heathrow. A chocolate deprivation in her youth due to rationing explains her passion for it now. She also loves clotted cream and Teuscher chocolates. I prefer skim milk and M&Ms. But when it came to “research,” we dropped our differences and devoted ourselves to finding a mug of not-too-sweet cocoa with a good chocolate-y taste. Our only rule: If we had to pour single packets of Swiss Miss into Styrofoam or paper cups, and “just add hot water,” we passed. Surprisingly, some otherwise excel lent cafes make this bewie blunder.

The Mixes Sales of hot cocoa spike in the winter months, so it’s not surpris ing that Vermont is home to four manufacturers: Snowbound Cocoa & Tea in Shelburne; Lake Cham plain Chocolates in Burlington; Vermont Farm Girl in Manchester; and Herb Patch Ltd. in Westmin ster Station. Pauline and I were taken aback to discover that none of the local coffee shops we tried use any Vermont brands — espe cially because the Lake Champlain Chocolate mix is so good. LCC only uses Belgian cocoa and natural, unbleached sugar in the form of evaporated cane juice. “This is hot chocolate in its purest form,” says chocolate maker David Bolton. Formulated to be made with milk only, it “is not cocoa for

Paul Spitler, director of whole sale sales, and Bolton savor their own products — which recently won accolades from The Boston Giobe. Bolton raves about the “purity and clarity of flavor.” Spitler gushes that LCC’s orange cocoa creates “a beautiful sympho ny of flavors.” Both men are trained chocolate tasters. Although the company makes four flavors — chocolate, mocha, raspberry and orange — their personal favorite is the plain chocolate, at approxi mately $6 a tin. I figured they would consider the addition of marshmallows blas phemous. But Spitler, father of a 7and 9-year-old, says his kids always add them. “Anything that enhances your enjoyment is okay,” he says magnanimously. “Drinking hot chocolate is supposed to be a pleas urable experience.” At home, he recommends scalding 2 percent milk in a saucepan, adding your favorite Lake Champlain Chocolate mix, and stirring the blend with a whip or whisk. If Spitler and Bolton are choco late purists, then Vermont Farm Girl owner Frank Coyle is a choco late lyricist. Six years ago he left his job managing NASDAQs comput er center to produce and market bread and pancake mixes and “the only fudge mix in the country.” His hot cocoa mixes call for hot water — not milk. Vermont Farm Girl sells four flavors — chocolate, chocolate raspberry, mocha and chocolate mint — packaged in oldfashioned milk containers at around $5.50 each. For the holi- f days, Coyle has added gingerbread and candycane cocoa mixes. Shelburne-based Snowbound Cocoa, launched in 1990 by Rick Hurlburt, has developed seven chocolate flavors.

SEVEN DAYS

november 15, 2000

The Hot Stuff O ur first delicious cup of hot cocoa is at Speeder & Earl’s on Pine Street in Burlington ($1.75/2). “This is what I thought they would all be like,” Pauline enthuses. Made with two full scoops of Ghirardelli ground chocolate and whole milk steamed in the cappuccino machine, the drink is luxuriously rich but not too sweet, and doesn’t need the whipped cream it comes with. But who’s complaining? The home made blend is made from extra heavy cream with vanilla added. Staffer Jeff Vergura estimates the shop sells between 40 and 50 hot chocolates a day, compared to 300-plus coffees. Probably half of those are sold to kids who come in with their parents, he says, adding that once the little ones have tried the Speeder & Earl’s version, Swiss Miss just won’t do. Mirabelle’s, on Main Street in Burlington, serves hot chocolate in two shades — white or dark — by

combining a a scoopful of Ghirardelli’s flavorful ground chocolate and 2 percent steamed milk ($1.50). They sell about 15 cups a day in cool weather, mostly in the mornings and afternoons. If you ask for whipped cream, you get a wonderful mix of heavy cream and sugar. This is where we find Chris Davis of Charlotte, sipping hot chocolate while his 17-month-old son George drinks milk. Davis says he mixes up Ovaltine for George at home. His wife Suzanne, a New England Culinary Institute grad and former editor of Eating Well magazine, prefers Droste cocoa. Davis’ Saturday morning routine is to bring George to the YMCA for a swimming class and then have a hot chocolate at Mirabelle’s. At the elegant Leunig’s Bistro, on Church Street in Burlington, we are surprised to find the wait staff serving Swiss Miss and water, albeit attractively served in a glass mug with whipped cream ($2). But manager Bob Conlon’s quips make up for the mix: “We sell hot cocoa in cooler weather, which means we sold a lot this past summer,” he says. “Cocoa is for children. Grown-ups buy cafe latte, or drink cocoa as a base for schnapps or Chambord.” At NECI Commons up the street, the hot cocoa is a mixture of chocolate milk, Hershey’s syrup and steamed milk ($1.50). While parents drink coffee, their kids want to feel grown-up with a cup of something hot. It’s too sweet for us. At Ben & Jerry’s across the street, it’s the adults who order the hot cocoa in winter while waiting for the kids to finish their ice cream. The usual recipe is mixing B & J ’s own hot fudge with whole milk ($1.79). Mmmm. A staffer makes a cup for us using Fox UBet syrup — the “nectar of the gods” of egg creams. Uncommon Grounds on Church Street is a coffee shop that makes its own cocoa mix of Dutched chocolate and sugar, which is then added to steamed whole milk ($1.04, $1.49). It’s def initely marketed to adult coffee drinkers; the sign on the display basket filled with bags of their mix says, “Finally, great-tasting mocha at home.” We appreciate the senti ment, but at the shop, the mix lacks a pure chocolate flavor. The popular breakfast-andlunch spot Penny Cluse on Cherry Street emphasizes good hot choco late. Owner Charles Reeves says they serve “adult hot chocolate, not super-sweet ($2).” In the restau rant’s mix, cinnamon sticks are added to a blend of Dutched cocoa and sugar and the flavor is infused for weeks. They sell 20 to 30 cups a day, more in winter. “In fact,” Reeves observes, “people come in every day for hot chocolate.” Regular Allan Wilson — who comes in for both the food and the hot chocolate — finds the drink “reassuring.” O n Main Street, Muddy Waters mixes up flavorful cocoas “by eye and by color,” says one staffer (regular, $2; with raspberry, orange or vanilla, $2.25; white hot chocolate, $2.50). This tasty cocoa is made with a semi-sweet cocoa mix and 2 percent milk, steamtd. They also whip Monument Farms heavy cream with shots of hazelnut. Muddy’s sells the stuff both morn-

At Myers Bagels on Pine Street, our server Donna Leclaire adapts a New England Coffee mix that calls for water by using half water, half steamed milk ($1.49). She pours it into a colorful, 16ounce mug and tops it with lots of Hood’s whipped cream. It has a surprisingly good chocolate taste, though a bit too sweet. Kids clam or for it, the server says, especially when the weather is “cold and yucky.” At Otter Creek Bakery on College Street in Middlebury, I am inclined to walk out when the staff person points me to the back counter to mix my own hot cocoa. But the smells of cinnamon twists and fresh rolls and pastry are so inviting that I decide to sit and sniff over a cup. Turns out, the cocoa mix is their own, wrapped in plastic bundles and tied like a spe cial Halloween treat ($1). You just stir the blend of Dezan cocoa pow der, non-fat dried milk and sugar with 10 ounces of water. It’s acceptable, even if the best buzz here comes from the aromas of their baked, and baking, goods. The hot cocoa at Capitol Grounds, on State Street in Montpelier, is too sweet because it’s made from Hershey’s chocolateflavored syrup ($1.50/2). But the addition of steamed milk, very hot and frothy, and a congenial atmos phere, helps a lot. The 4-month-old Edelweiss Bakery & Cafe and Grand Finale Kaffee Shop on Main Street in Winooski offers up homey, cush ioned comfort along with Mozart and magazines. Here you can have an “Alpine” hot chocolate a n d . totally relax. General Manager Ken Schlegel says they break up semi sweet Callebaut chocolate from Belgium, dissolve it in hot water, and then add steamed 2 percent milk ($2.25). It’s served in a lattesized cup, capped with whipped cream and powdered chocolate. A number of adults went for this brew on a recent evening visit — further evidence that hot chocolate isn’t just kid stuff. Will cocoa become the trendy new beverage? W hen the snow — and the temperatures — begin to fall, no one will bother to analyze it. But it surely helps that the phenyethylamine found in choco late — and our brains — is responsible for the euphoric glow we feel when we’re in love. @

Weekly M ail Continued from page 4a assaulted in a public place because of our perceived sexual orientation. And where did it take place? In Burlington on the Church Street Marketplace. Thanks to the hate-mongerers, a place we love is now a place we fear to walk in safety anymore. If more people would open their mouths and tell the truth about the idiots like Dwyer and call them what they are — basically neoNazis — and stop apologizing for being direct about it, the better off w.e’ll be. These “take back Vermont” folks are a direct threat against the safety of all the chil dren of Vermont, whether they know it or not; they’re encouraging violent acts against gay and lesbian youth in our schools and in our street, and anyone who appears to be gay or lesbian as well... — Marc Mayka St. Petersburg, Florida

T H E C A T IS B A C K

A SPOILED BRAT I’m sorry you gave four columns in your excellent paper to Andrew Jacoby’s long whine [“The Wandering Democrat,” Oct. 25]. He is a spoiled brat. Big govern ment obviously hasn’t stopped him from doing whatever he wants, so what’s he complaining about? Looking for society or the Demo crats to give him the right to “sleep with whores or...look at nasty pictures,” he’s peeved that he would have to give anything back — like a percentage of his income to Social Security, or possibly a vote. I was especially discouraged when I saw that Sharon Under wood’s powerful letter had to be squeezed into Peter Freyne’s article space in small print italics. Here is a woman who has something meaningful to fight for and write about. Let the Free Press pay Andrew Jacoby to “go on and on”

next time. Tell him it’s “too long to print.” — Joanna May Burlington HISTORY FOR ANDREW Open letter to Andrew Jacoby: Dear Andrew, Instead of cynically judging your “youthful” political indiscretions, maybe you should bone up on your country’s recent history — a history you seemed to have overlooked in the good ol’ days of your collegiate, Marxist youth [“The Wandering Democrat,” Oct. 25]. For, if you were a generation older, you might have had a girl friend who bled to death from an illegal abortion. Or, if you had been born African-American instead of Jewish, during the first three-quarters of the 20th century and trying to surmount the iron wall of discrimination, you would understand why civil-rights laws were enacted. Maybe it’s time to stop kvetching and grow up emotionally and intellectually, and leave the Democratic nest. There are real alternatives to our depressing twoparty system. — Wendy Davidson Burlington ANDREW’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE? Andrew Jacoby’s sophomoric rant [“The Wandering Democrat,” Nov. 1] was an embarrassment. He tried to be funny, but he wasn’t. Instead, we got to trace his “evolu tion” as a political thinker. As a teen, he despised capitalism on his father’s tab; as a college student he was an “adherent” of communism. Then he got laid and smoked dope. Wow! A real intellectual journey. The irony is that his cur rent views are more pathetic and banal because they drip with selfrighteousness and a desperation to sound cool. Using words like “ass” and “suck off” must have been truly liberating to such an

oppressed, suffering philosopher. Little Andrew! The iconoclastic revolutionary. It reminded me of a 5-year-old who shouts “doo-doo” to get attention. The lame jokes, the cliche of “rage,” the trendy position of the above-it-all cynical radical — all of these are the telltale signs of some one who is either afraid to reveal his own true convictions or some one who has no true convictions. He is neither a facist, ageist or racist. He’s a bonehead. While the rest of the world is, you know, having substantive thoughts, tak ing care of children, working and actually doing something, what is he doing? Probably laid out in his rat-hole apartment calling stuff “bullshit,” reading his wellthumbed Hustlers or doing bongs. One day, when he’s 36 and dri ving his kids to kindergarten, he’ll be humiliated to remember how hopelessly immature and feeble minded he was at 27. Why was he granted the privi lege of wasting 50 column inches of your (usually excellent) paper? Spare us next time, please. — Tal Birdsey New Haven NOTES O N M USIC PRAC TICE While consistent practice is important to improve skills and endurance [“Practice, Practice,” Oct. 18], practice sessions of excessive length or without proper warm-up can result in injury. Most musicians, both amateur and pro fessionals, will have to cope with an injury, such as tendonitis, at some point in their careers. A small change in the way the instrument is held or the order of exercises played during a practice session can eliminate these prob lems. Frequent rests during prac tices are important. I urge people who are experi encing pain during playing to seek out advice on technique and posi tioning immediately. A physical therapist can use modalities to decrease pain and suggest changes in positioning that can prevent a small problem from becoming a large one. — Tracy Titchner Williston Titchner is an Associate in Physical and Occupational Therapy. STANDARDS NEEDED The Red Square ad in your November 1 edition is a very telling indicator of the base and immature mindset of its origina tors, and unfortunately reflects badly on your paper. I can almost hear the giggling and tee-hee-ing of those involved in its production — 13-year-olds, were they? Surely you have some stan dards. I suggest you develop a set if you expect to maintain an adult readership. — Donna Varricchione Fairfax

Poll Vaulting Just as the election season was w inding down, journalist Barry M aguire called up a random sam ple of residents in Rutland C ounty to ask them how they were going to vote and, as an addendum , to inquire w hether folks thought Roger Clemens threw that broken bat at M ike Piazza intentionally. “A good portion hung up,” Maguire says, proving that most o f us are getting m ighty tired o f being asked our opinions. But for the people who stayed on the line, the Rogers Clemens query had unexpected traction: Sixty-seven percent thought he threw the bat on purpose, and one respondent, who had clearly given the issue some thought, said, “We should have the Rocket pitch to Arafat. T h at would speed up the peace process.” O nly 12 percent thought Clemens was simply clearing the field o f debris, and one person wondered, “W h at kind o f a ques tion is that? W ho’s Roger Clemens?” Another citizen, unable to articulate w hat he thought was the most im portant issue before the voters, did manage to say, “I bought some dot coms last year, and I wish the government would do som ething to prop them up.” — The M ountain Times, November 2

A Circle o f L ig h t Residents o f W ilm ington recently dedicated a new labyrinth in Buzzy Towne Park by gathering at twilight and walking the maze w ith candles. Folks were encouraged to bring an unusual stone, plant, tile or other object to the ceremony and add these items to the labyrinth. In a weirdly related story, the states attorney has now gathered enough evidence to charge two W ilm ington teenagers w ith unlawful mischief. T he accusation stems from an August conflagration in which the port-o-potty in the same Buzzy Towne Park was set on fire, although it’s hard to imagine which part o f the plastic outhouse might have actu ally burned. T his particular fire ritual chalked up $250 in damages. — Deerfield Valley News, October 2 6

M o o d Swings Headlines are a good barom eter o f something, but we don’t know what; just before the election they seemed to point to a certain exasperated malaise. Spotted: “PBS Devotes M ore T han Enough Tim e to N apoleon;” “H ubbard Brook Is Unremarkable in M ost Respects;” “Check Your Nukes at the D oor for Holiday D ance;” and “Adopt a Raptor for the Holidays.” — Deerfiield Valley News, October 2 6 & November 2, Addison Independent, November 7

news from the back woods is good: Morse observes that there ./ere only 2000 moose in the Northeast at the turn o f the last century; now there are esti mated to be 50,000. Wildlife, she explained, are “incredibly resourceful and very forgiving.” Com eback stories are increasingly common: “I can remember when there were no turkeys,” she says, “but now the turkey is everywhere.” — Montpelier Bridge, November

C ost o f D o in g Business Bennington Representative M ary Morrissey was out on the campaign trail when she encountered a pair of horses running free on M iddle Pownal Road. Nobody seemed to know whom the animals belonged to, so she called the police and the town manager. Five town workers responded, as well as an unidentified passing motorist, but this large contingent of helpers still failed to catch either of the horses or bring them under control. Before the encounter was over, Morrissey had been knocked down by one of the animals and broken her left arm; a member o f the road crew dislocated a shoul der. Now that’s public service. It turned out the offending horse, Joker, was recently blinded. His owner, Rhonda Carroll, says Joker will live under stricter supervision from now on. — St. Albans Messenger, October 2 6

Tou g h N u t to Crack Harrods o f London, the upscale departm ent store, is pretty choosy, but Marsha Phillips o f the M apled N u t Com pany in M ontgom ery Center has found a way in the door. Phillips’ product, a line of gourmet maple-coated cashews, almonds, pecans and walnuts, was recently selected from a field o f about 100 supplicants for inclusion in Harrods’ specialty holiday food display. Harrods is big — big enough to dedicate about 24,000 square feet to specialty foods alone — and is the opposite o f Phillips, who started the Mapled N u t business in her own kitchen in 1986. She says she started small because, “I wanted to own the company, and I didn’t w ant it to own me.” Those days may be over, and it’s hard to know w hat to hope for. Will Phillips stay true to her roots, or will she sell out to Unilever? — St. Albans Messenger, November 4

t’s not easy being a hip-hop artist in M ontreal. M ost of the local venues don’t want to book you because they’re afraid your audience is going to shoot up the joint, and because the great unwashed would rather fork over 70 bucks to see Eminem at the Molson Center than take a chance on your rhymes. And, of course, should you have any talent or mar ketability, the sea is awash with sharks eager to sign you for noth ing and reap all the financial benefits o f your efforts. Nevertheless, a small domes tic hip-hop scene does exist here, though sometimes you’ve got to look pretty hard to find it. A handful o f local artists, most notably DJs Kid Koala and A-

Shades of Culture These guys have been around long enough to have crossed paths with Moses, but they con tinue to be relevant and pack ’em in at local gigs like nobody’s business. They consider them selves “ambassadors o f hip-hop culture,” and over the years have toured with acts as diverse as Bad Brains, SNFU and T he Backstreet Boys. They even traded rhymes with Allen Ginsberg crony “Grandmaster” John G iorno at Place des Arts a couple years back. Everybody around here loves these guys, and even if they totally sucked nobody would w ant to say it — local

hope that they’d follow in the • footsteps o f Dubm atique and make everybody rich. So far this * * hasn’t happened, even though most people agree Muzion is a pretty good act. They come out o f the city’s substantial Haitian com m unity and rap in a blend o f French, English and Creole — although, like the signs in this city, French is predominant. Personally, I can’t understand a

It’s responsible for the wildly successful “M ontreal Massive” nights, a series o f shows bringing together rappers from M ontreal, Toronto and New York City. Come January, ZooBone will be releasing full-length CD s

from the much-celebrated Mizery and this other kid w ho calls him self G unD ei. If H aig’s track record is anything to go by, ZooBone is destined to produce at least a couple o f big stars before the inevitable sell-out to a major.

Sans Pression Hooked up w ith the worldfamous and spirited little under ground label M ont Real Records (hip-hop speak for M ontreal, in case you couldn’t guess), Sans Pression have been getting tons o f coverage lately in the Quebec music press, and they sold a load o f copies o f their debut album, 514-50 Dans M on Reseau. Like Muzion, these guys also rap irt a blend o f languages, which I sup pose is becoming the defining quality o f Quebecois rap. Never theless, when they start w hoop ing away in Creole, I am once again left scratching my head and wondering w hat I may be missing. Friends who do under stand it tell me the group is extremely literate and talented. M y ignorance aside, these guys have p ut together some way-cool beats. They’re being touted as the next D ubm atique, b ut w ith a bit more street cred.

GunDei N ot that I’m even paying close attention, but I keep hear ing about this G unD ei dude. I know he had a pretty successful record w ith “T he Solution?” last year, and that the Brits have taken a shine to him. O ther than that, all I know is that he’s come to M ontreal via H aiti and he’s a pretty serious little guy. His han

W ord on the street is that Shades o f Culture can do no wrong. For w hat it’s w orth, I think they’re okay. They’ve just released what is essentially a greatest-hits album, A Little B it About Us, on 2112 Records. Dubmatique D ubm atique also once shared a bill with T he Backstreet Boys, but, unlike Shades o f Culture, they can do plenty w rong in the eyes o f the local hip-hop elite. Nevertheless, these francophone rappers almost single-handedly popularized the form am ong white French kids, and they’ve yet to release a record that hasn’t

gone platinum in La Belle Province. H m m m , jealous much? Though they’re still hugely popu lar here, you w on’t be hearing m uch French rap on American radio anytime soon; Dubm atique seem destined to languish in the French-market ghetto. But with record sales as brisk as theirs, do they care? Apparently, the group is starting to do decent business in Europe, where the critics reportedly are raving about them. Is it true? Hell, I don’t know. I don’t read the critics in France. Does anybody? Muzion M uzion were picked up by BM G a little while ago in the

fucking word they’re saying but, judging by the intensity of their delivery, they must feel it’s im portant. N o minimalist nude hardcore beats here; Muzion offer up some pretty sophisticated arrangements on their debut album, Mentalite Moune Morne (Its nontpas compris). Actually, now that I think about it, they’re a pretty neat act. ZooBone Records At the forefront o f the M ontreal underground scene is ZooBone Records, an upstart indie label founded by Muzion and Bran Van 3000 producer Haig V just over a year ago. Haig has all the respect in the world,

NAN OR ASTRO-MAN?

“quality o f life” issues might just spell the end of live music at 5-year-old Alley Cats, on the corner of King and South Champlain streets. A source who has asked to remain nameless has informed me that some new neighbors have complained about the “noise” emanating from the bar, which has virtually shut down the music. It’s understandable that any one trying to get some shut-eye would be disturbed by good old rock ’n’ roll. But on the other hand, Alley Cats has an entertainment license, as did The Sheik before it in the same building. In other words, anyone moving into the neighborhood ought to be cognizant of the fact that there’s a bar, with regular, legal volume generation, nearby. Guess it just goes to show you: One person’s music is another person’s racket. Even the popular Monday night jam — which has been tried sans drums and with acoustic guitar o f late — apparendy is too much for said sensitive neighbors. “[The owner] even tried to reconfigure the stage to decrease decibel leakage,” explains my informant. “If you’re not a Church Street bar, you’ve got hell to pay.” Actually, some of them get in their share of hot water, too, as the Queen City seems to be getting more and more rigid about anything in the bar/alcohol/entertainment department. I haven’t had a chance to talk with anyone else about this yet, so stay tuned for more on the South End Sound Saga...

DON’T SEND IN THE CLOWNS This just in: If you’re looking for a party-friendly fire-breather or maybe some acrobats who swing from ropes, you need look no further than Hardwick. That’s right, the little town up the road a piece from our fair capital of Montpelier. Oddly, said wily performers — visiting

Brazilian women who are training for circus work — apparently have no connection with the Vermont Legislature, nor, for that matter, with the national Electoral College. And it’s just as well, because their unique services will be put to good use, we’re told, this Saturday night at the Compost Art Center. Compost, opened a few years back by Clifford Jackman, surely has the distinction of being Hardwick’s only hot spot. Especially on nights that feature a fire-breather. (That’s gotta be tough on smoke alarms.) Actually, those acts are just a side show at “Carnivale,” the monthly event organized by Burlington’s mobile fun unit*Dream Party Productions — the same folks who bring the semi weekly, semi-spiritual “Zen” events to 135 Pearl. “The ‘circus’ acts will go on around 11:30,” explains Dream Party’s Ken HirSChmann. The rest of the night will be in the capable hands of resident DJs Chia, Moonflower and Shiva, as well as some guest spinners. So if you’ve always wanted to ask for a light from a real live fire-breather, here’s your chance to do so and live to dance about it. (Note: Compost is BYOB, as it’s currently seeking a license for alco hol.) Consider inflammable outfits.

DO GOOD DEPT. Here’s an inspiration for all selfcentered, tortured artists: Minnesota singer-songwriter Pamela McNeill is donating a portion of the proceeds of her latest disc, 2 Sides to Every Sky, to the United Way in branches across the country — including in Burlington. She reportedly benefited as a kid from organizations under the nonprofit’s umbrella, and this is her way o f giving something back. McNeill is a real belter, though some of her songs reflect the more laid-back style of Lucinda Williams. She’s not yet a household name in Vermont, as she is in her home state, but you can help change that by picking up a copy of 2 Sides at the United Way on St. Paul St. in Burlington. W hen Robert Resnik isn’t looking things up as a reference librarian at Burlington’s Fletcher Free, or performing in one of several bands (or writing the occasional music review for Seven Days), he’s likely to be found entertaining the kiddies. Putting tod dler tunes on tracks, Resnik and fellow musician

THE CAUSEYWAY, TYRO

Carol Scrimgeour released Like the Birdies Sing two years ago, the sales of which have subsequently raised more than $6000 for children’s programming at the library. This week Resnik, Scrimgeour and Gigi Weismad have released A Little B it Jumbled andJivey. The CD features 38 sing-along songs — they’re short — as well as a cover photo of Robert in a birthday suit, circa 1958. The perfect stockingstuffer for music-minded moms and dads will this time benefit the Fletcher’s adult programming. Finally, help for the grown-ups. A reception and concert takes place this Sunday morning in the Reading Room. Finally, a “Latin Tropical” dinner and dance this Saturday night at the Moretown Town Hall will benefit “children living on the streets o f Ecuador this Christmas.” For more info on this one, call 583-2408. SINGLE TRACKS Since I didn’t write this column last week, I didn’t get to announce the winner of the Advance Music Acoustic Guitar Search. That was 14-year-old Nick Cassarifli, a guitarist/singersongwriter from Rice High School, whom Advance owner Mike Trombley cites for the “maturity of his voice and playing.” Cassarini walked away with a Tacoma acoustic guitar worth a grand, 10 hours o f recording time at Last Exit Studio, and Web design and six months of hosting from Homebrewed Concoction. Though no prizes were given to second and third place, the ladies scored: Katherine Quinn and Peggy Miller, respectively. Congrats to all . . . Last Friday was the final “Morning Music Showcase” hosted by WCAX’s Brian Byrnes, who launched the 7 a.m. program and has managed to get musicians to show up for it since April. Byrnes is departing for assignments abroad, but leaves the show in the hands o f producer/anchor Judy Simpson. Several shows were already on the books, but “beyond that,” says Byrnes, “it’s gray right now.” Musicans can still send their tapes/CDs to her for review, and put in your plug for the early-bird special to keep flying . . . Part-time Vermonter Malcolm Goldstein shows why John Cage liked collaborat ing with him this Saturday; the improv violinist offers up a solo recital at Signal to Noise . . . ®

SOLOMON (Dovie Music, CD) — Therapy rock — that’s what Solomon DeNiro’s music is being billed as. His new 12-song recording, Solomon, is brimming with positive vibes and helpful hints, but his vision comes across as far less flakey than the new-age ramblings you might expect from such a tab. Sounds like DeNiro’s had a bit o f a hard road, trading near homelessness in New York City for minimal digs in Brandon a few years back. Yet somehow he managed to assemble a pretty stellar cast o f players for Solomon, including heavies like harmonica player John Popper (of Blues Traveler), guitarist Vernon Reid (of Living Colour), keyboardist Bernie Worrell and guitarist Marc Ribot, among others. Though the recording was created at studios in New York, New Jersey and DeNiro’s native Philadelphia, it’s released on the nascent Burlington label Dovie Music, which was launched by University o f Vermont student Seth Breitman. — 1 DeNiro sings and plays drums/percussion on all tracks and, while his voice is affecting and strong, his excellent syncopated drumming is what really glues this project together. Solomon has a consistent big but unslick sound, with several tracks mixed by Joe Blaney (The Clash, Prince, Shawn Colvin). While there’s no shortage o f soloing — Popper in particular blows his brains out all over the place — DeNiro keeps things song-oriented and to the point.

SEVEN DAYS

november 15, 2000

This music is fairly eclectic and complex rhyth mically, but mostly works a similar spectrum to bands like Phish — but with a few more quirks and generally more conscious lyrics. I did chuckle at the line, “How was I to know you took a part o f me when you went to B.C. to plant some trees?” from the pleasant, poppy “Dominique Dear.” O ther stand outs were the rocking opener, “Walk N ot Run,” and the bluesy intro to “The Emperor.” “Smile” and “Chameleon” both came across as a bit spastic, but the latter js almost saved by Reid’s ripping guitar. I gotta mention the clever cover art, too — on one side DeNiro is seen playing drums below a crosssectioned city street projecting rays that are sprouting into plants through an overhead sewer grate, while on the other side he’s stepping out of a deep photo collage forest smack onto a big-city street. While this project is ultimately not quite my style, I gotta give it up for DeNiro’s unrelentingly good-hearted, passionate attitude, and for the work involved in writing, arranging and producing this disc as well as assembling its all-star lineup. Good luck to Solomon DeNiro, and may he find the wis dom of his royal namesake. — Paul Gibson

tioned harmonies. “The Coast of California,” “Isn’t It Strange” and “Soon” all are enjoyable and stick in my head a bit. It’s weird how mildly melancholic lyrics crooned over a ska-inflected beat can create a bouncy and light, slightly infectious result. There’s no new ground being broken here, but Hello Cannonball offers an unlikely mix of non threatening musical styles and a complete lack of cynicism. T hat makes The H umming straddle the fine line between bland and refreshing. I’m surprised to find myself getting into this, but I could easily imagine hordes of kids for whom this might just strike the right chord. All of the voices are strong and, with more than seven years together, the band has learned how to play to their strengths. In this respect, too, The Samples are a strong reference point, though Hello Cannonball seems more like a well-mannered party than'an excuse for public introspection. The worst that can be said about this record is that it’s pleasant, which isn’t really so bad. File this under easy-to-listen-to and vaguely addictive, lite-pop confection. Check out the real thing when The H um m ing warm up for Dispatch this Wednesday at Higher Ground. — Colin Clary

THE HUMMING, HELLO CANNONBALL (Pajama Productions, 2000) — Hailing from Brattleboro, The Humming present a collection of tunes both mellow and upbeat on their first album, Hello Cannonball W ith four singers, the band manages tight and sweet three- and four-part harmonies stretched over simple grooves and folksy, jazz-inflect ed arrangements. Aside from the basic guitar, bass and drums lineup, trombone, trum pet and organ are included in the mix. The production here is clear and crisp, sounding like a cross between Tears For Fears and The Samples, or maybe even like those “new” Beatles songs produced by Jeff Lynne. At times it feels a little saccharine, but these boys seem earnest and goodintentioned. Though the lyrics don’t seem all that interesting on the page, they lend themselves surprisingly well to hummable melodies, drenched in the aforemen

Abstract/ B y M arc A wodey

he possibilities of oil painting are endless, so even when two artists have a similar technical approach they are likely to take it to completely different places.

W ithin the framework they share — technically pure painterly abstrac tion — the personalities o f these two collections “Like Mexican Jumping Beans,” an oii-on-wood by Beth Pearson are complements rather than clones. in which the focal point is a vague, dark figure in O sm ond’s oil paintings are referential yet not the lower left.

DIVING AMBITION Gooding and DeNiro team up for the see-worthy real-life story of Carl Brashear.

MEN OF HONOR***”2 There was a time not so long ago when it would have been inconceivable for critical tastes in filmmaking to parallel those of the military-industrial complex. Mainstream America itself cheered anti-war movies like Apocalypse Now and Platoon. With the Vietnam War still fresh in the pop ular consciousness, there was little chance of the general public and the generals liking the same movies, especially where stories about the military were concerned. But, as Bob Dylan says, “Things have changed.” Somehow we’ve arrived at a point in time when the twain has not only met, it’s gone into busi ness together. Don’t ask me. All I know is that I’ve been going to the movies for more than 30 years and I can’t recall a situation like this one: The United States Navy likes the new Robert DeNiro-Cuba Gooding Jr. picture so much it’s spending millions on a TV cam paign that promotes the film while, at the same time, trying to boost new enlistment. Hollywood and the military haven’t been this cozy since the days of W W II, when stars like Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart

traded in their costumes for uni forms and directors like Frank Capra dropped what they were doing to make training films. For the Navy and Twentieth Century Fox to get into bed together this way is not just histor ically and culturally significant. It’s curious, since the whole point of Men o f Honor is, wow, was the Navy ever mean, racist, unfair and just plain bucket-hsaded in its treatment of real-life hero Carl Brashear, the first AfricanAmerican to force his way into the ranks of its deep-sea diving unit. «*• Gooding gives an implosive, full-blooded performance here as a young man who leaves the rural South behind in the hope of mak ing something of himself in the ser vice. In those days, the military had been integrated, but blacks and whites seldom mixed and the old racial boundaries were, for the most part, still observed. Gooding is assigned to kitchen duty, but quick ly realizes his ambitions lie with the elite and all-white diving division. That’s where DeNiro comes in. He plays a volatile, hard-drinking cracker who winds up teaching divers when an accident cuts short his own career. As the young sailor attempts to force himself through

the door by sheer moxie and will, it’s DeNiro’s job to stand on the other side with his shoulder to it for as long as possible. In the end, Gooding’s spunk gets the better of DeNiro’s anger, fear and spiteful ness. A mutual respect, if not a friendship, is born. You’ve seen the trailer. You’ve seen good, old-fashioned Hollywood stories in which people on the side of right prevail against long odds and old prejudices. You know how all this is going to turn out. W hat makes showing up worthwhile are the really fine per formances given by the film’s two leads, and the detailed look at the early days of Navy deep sea diving — a subject we’ve seen explored very little in film. Then there’s the simple fact that Brashear’s life story is downright exciting. Sure, the script amps up the action here and cranks up the vio lins there, but, hey, this isn’t a doc umentary. The license taken falls well within acceptable limits, given the genre at hand. I’m not going to run out and sign up for active duty any time soon, but I do have to say that, as a “based on the life”-style saga of triumph over adversity, Men o f Honor ranks with the best ever made. ®

the test of time

They can’t all be classics. In fact, what we’ve got for you this week are scenes from four pictures that barely even registered in the public consciousness and did so-so business at best. They came and went faster than you can say ‘straight to video.” Your job is to convince us they are gone but not forgotten.

Ruth Dwyer — W hen she lost to

I Gov. H ow ard D ean two years ago, a defiant R uth Dwyer prom ised she’d be back w ith the money, the tim e and the resources to win. She kept her word. She had the''’ m oney and resources. A nd she put in the time. She got her message out and, w hen m ost Vermonters heard it, they turned the other way. D idn’t w ant anything to do with her. Truthless R uth did worse than two years ago and has now exited politics stage right. We received three reports the day after the election that unidenti fied Vermonters, north and south, were heard singing the tune, “Dingdong, the w itch is dead,” at work that m orning. Enough said.

Gasoline Vallee — Despite the editorial endorsem ent o f The Burlington Free Press, Republican millionaire Skip Vallee o f Spear Street couldn’t break the top six. His political career is now on hold. Vallee broke ail the spending records and will long be rem em bered as the guy w ho tried to buy a C hittenden C ounty State Senate seat for $100,000. But he doesn’t see it that way. “1 didn’t try to buy a Senate seat,” countered Skip Tuesday. He told Seven Days he was “just trying to m atch” w hat the D em ocrats were spending. Sure you were, Skip. T h e results indicate that the only Republican to win a Senate seat in the county was also the only Republican who accepted an invita tion to appear on “T he Cherie & Yolanda Show” on public-access TV. Barbara Snelling’s appearance drew the w rath o f Rev. David Stertzbach, the m ean-spirited rightwing preacher from W illiston. Mrs. Snelling used her appearance to pro mote adult literacy as well as toler ance. Rev. Sleazebag, who is clueless on both subjects, p u t out negative mailings condem ning Babs for appearing w ith drag queens. Looks like Stertzbach’s condem nation may have helped her. Skip Vallee was also invited to appear on “T he Cherie & Yolanda Show.” H e declined. D um b.

The Burlington Free Press — It’s the largest daily newspaper in Vermont, but no m edia outlet appears more out-of-synch w ith its audience. To this day, V erm ont’s largest paper has yet to do what newspapers across the state and across the nation have done — taken a clear editorial stand on civil unions. It’s the m ajor political story o f the year, and perhaps the decade, and V erm ont’s G annett-chain paper has completely ducked it on the editorial page. Disgraceful. And

ENZYMATIC THERAPY • JARROW FORMULAS • SOURCE NATURALS » SQUvRAY .

recently, editorial page editor Stephen Kiernan won the Free Press “Employee of the Year” award. Well, not “completely” ducked. The Freeps did publish the picture of the vulgar, homophobic sign in Huntington — not once, but twice. Remember? Our “anus gov ernor” right there in the local fami ly newspaper, not once, but twice. And theres more. Vermonters are clearly sick of all the money that pollutes the elec tion process, but The Burlington Free Press proudly endorsed the most obscene big spender of all — Republican candidate Skip Vallee. And in a bizarre move, the paper asked readers to “write in” Republican Brian Dubie on the Chittenden Senate ballot. Doobie Doobie Do was already on the bal lot as a candidate for lieutenant governor. He got creamed. What planet are these people from? What are they smoking? And it gets worse. The Free Press chose not to report one of the important stories of the campaign battle — allega tions of anti-Semitism raised against Ruth Dwyer by Bernie Rome. Editor Mickey Hirten said the story did not meet their high standards. Standards, eh? When a University of Vermont faculty member called Hirten to complain of the news blackout, Hirten inquired if the man was complaining because he was Jewish? And it gets worse. Last month, the Free Press doc tored a front-page photo of the gubernatorial candidates in a story of their Free Press!Ch. 5 election poll results to white out the Ch. 3. logo on the coffee cups in the shot. How professional. And it gets worse. The papers premier “state news columnist,” Sam Hemingway, wrote up a whole bunch of stupid and wrong election predictions that he never owned up to when the votes were counted. Instead, Sam the Sham published the most bizarre list of winners and losers we’ve ever seen in a Vermont elec tion. Hemingway’s #1 winner was Republican Treasurer Jim Douglas, the Dagwood Bumstead of Vermont politics. I’m not making this up. Mr. Hemingway wrote that Douglas is the big winner in Election 2000 because he “looms as the guy most likely to succeed” Gov. Howard Dean. And Sam put Congressman Bernie Sanders, who won with a 70 percent landslide, atop his list of losers. I am not making this up. And there’s more. Sam the Sham put “the media” on his list of losers for becoming, in his view, “part of the story” in the gubernatorial race. Ruthless Ruth, he noted, blamed “the media” for her poor showing. So? Losers always do, Sam. Listen, you really need to get out of the office more. Visit Vermont. Talk to people who are not relatives or Gannett employees for a change. It’ll blow your mind. The Burlington Free Press is one of 99 daily newspapers in the Gannett chain. It’s Gannett’s New England flagship and a cash cow, one of many in a transnational media empire. Every single edition of the Vermont-based paper is designed to win the approval of the powers that be — in Alexandria, Virginia. That’s why it always reads like an out-of-town newspaper. And you know what? It always will. ® E-m ail Peter at Inside Track VT@aol. com

The

Straight Dope D ear Cecil, W hat is up w ith those little umbrellas in exotic drinks? Who started it a n d why?

— Terrence Fultz, via the Internet, W hen this e-mail arrived, I glanced at the 3:05 p.m. time stamp and thought, Somebody’s starting in on the m ai tais a little early. However, the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board informed me that cocktail umbrellas were a key element in the cult of the tiki, pointing me to •* www.tikinews.com. This brought up a picture o f an Easter Island-type idol and a beautiful Polynesian maiden, her bare breasts peeking out from under her lei like ripe casaba melons. Above this was the headline, “We Worship Tikis.” I’m kinda partial to ’em myself, I thought, inspecting the maiden. No, no, the SDSAB informed me, the tik i is the carved idol. Lest you get the wrong idea, the tik i cult isn’t some weird Santeria thing involving goat sacrifice, but a retro appreciation o f the tik i bar, also known as a Polynesian bar, which specializes in island ciecor, exotic cuisine and tropical drinks topped with cocktail parasols and other fancy para phernalia. The tik i joint, I was told, has played a pivotal if unappreciated role in American culture for more than 60 years, blah blah blah. All right already, I said, I’ll find out about the damn

cocktail umbrellas. I called Trader Vic’s, the San Franciscobased chain of Polynesian-style restaurants, figuring they were bound to know. (The term Polynesian applies some what loosely; it’s not like they’re serving poi.) Soon I was chatting with Peter Seely, grandson of Victor J. Bergeron, who in 1932 started the business that became Trader Vic’s. Peter informed me that never in its history had Trader Vic’s served a drink with a cocktail umbrella. Meanwhile, my assistant Jill talked with Victor J. “Joe” Bergeron III, the founder’s son. Joe said Vic’s had served drinks with cocktail umbrellas up until the early 1940s, when ’ importation of the little parasols from factories in the Far East was halted by the outbreak of war. Informed ^'/jj that Peter had given us a different story, Joe said, “Oh hell, I was there. I’m the guy who was stealing cherries from behind the bar when I was 8 years old.” That was good enough for us. Joe went on to say that his father had borrowed the umbrella idea and a few other things from the Don the Beach comber restaurants (now defunct), which had pioneered Polynesian-style dining. Prior to that, he believes, they were available in Chinese restaurants, which coincides with the view we’ve heard elsewhere that the parasol (or at least the idea of putting it in a drink) was a ChineseAmerican invention. Efforts to confirm this with Chinese and Chinese-American firms selling the umbrellas today were unsuccessful, no doubt becau everyone had sworn a blood oath of secrecy with tl tongs. However, we have seen nothing to convince that the umbrellas are actually native to Polynesia, ; some foolishly believe. W hy umbrellas? Some tik i devotees argue that they shield the ice cubes from intense solar radia tion. Joe wasn’t having any of that. They were sim

ply a means of decorating a fancy beverage, he said, along with miniature ceramic parrots, Tahitian war clubs and Marquesan canoe paddles. “But they’re so iconic,” whined the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board. Yeah, whatever. Now, can I get a shot and a beer? — CECIL ADAMS

TOM: I’d laugh at them, Raymond. I’d say, “That’s funny, guys. You bent my con necting rod; you took my engine out without my per mission, and you want me to pay for it?! Good one, fellas!” RAY: It certainly sounds like they’re the ones who bent your connecting rod, Raymond. When you went in, you complained of missing and backfiring. A bad con necting rod would not have caused those symptoms. It would have caused an intense vibration. So unless it was vibrating badly when you went in, my guess is that after they changed the injector, they accidentally bent the rod and then panicked. TOM: That’s when they weren’t returning your calls. Every time the phone rang, seven of them would run into the men’s room and lock the door. We had to expand our men’s room at the shop last year for this very reason. RAY: But they don’t have to hide from you. Repair shops carry insurance for bonehead mistakes like this. Why?

these guys are going to have to make a claim on their bonehead policy and fix this for you for nothing. TOM: If they don’t offer to do that, tell them not to touch the car, and have it towed to an independent mechanic. Have him look at it for you, so you have a witness. Then I’d take the dealership to small claims court. Based on your description, you’ll almost cer tainly win. RAY: But I don’t think it’s ever going to get that far. I think they were just trying it to see if you’d bite. Once you say no, I think they’ll just say, “Oh, OK. We were just kidding.” Especially after you drop the words “witness, lawyer and small claims court.” Good luck, Raymond.

TOM: Yeah. Tell him to go howl at the moon, Charles. RAY: After careful considera tion, I would have to agree with that approach. TOM: First of all, we don’t recommend Jeep Wranglers for kids. They’re too easy to flip over if you drive them irresponsibly. And we all know that youth is a time when peo ple are more likely to act irre sponsibly. Except me. I was a perfect child. RAY: Yeah. Ask any of his parole officers. TOM: But more important, you should insist that this kid buy his own car, Charles. The college years are supposed to be sort of a “transition” from childhood to adulthood. And making tough choices is one of the things adults have to do. RAY: So if he’s really got the hots for a Jeep Wrangler, he might have to work in the dining hall a few nights a week instead of going out with his friends to see “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.” Let it be his choice. TOM: If he’s like most kids, once he has to come up with the money himself, his expec tations will come way down. He’ll probably end up with a 1978 Olds Cutlass Salon. RAY: And that’ll lead to other important life lessons ... like how to use jumper cables and add transmission fluid!

November 16-22

c^ bT r Krezsnyi

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Are men really more objective than . women? Speaking as a dude who’s proud and happy to be a dude, I say no. A man’s opinions, in my opinion, are as rooted in his emotional fixa tions as a woman’s are in hers. The male o f the species, however, is often skilled at concealing his irrationality behind a well-rationalized front of seemingly logical common sense. My project for you this week, Aries, regardless o f your gender, is to probe with merciless honesty for the uncon scious feelings that drive you to believe what you do — and to ana lyze the ways you mask your subjec tive biases as “objective fact.”

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Psychologist Carl Jung recognized that all desires have a sacred origin, no matter how odd they seem. Frustration and ignorance may cause them to twist into distorted carica tures, but it is always possible to locate the beautiful source from which they arose. In describing one of his addictive patients, Jung said: “His craving for alcohol was the equivalent on a low level of the spiri tual thirst for wholeness, or, as expressed in medieval language: the union with God.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Taurus, should you choose to accept it, is to seek the glorious prototypes behind your warped and trivial longings.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): I’m very close to naming you Toxic Warrior o f the Month. A few days from now I’m hoping you will have decisively triumphed over the pollu tion o f debilitating fantasies, careless words, and garbage disguised as good ies. But don’t let your guard down at this late hour, Gemini. Do not com promise your demands for purity. Apathetic “helpers” could tempt you to grow lax, and the strain of main taining your tribe’s spiritual hygiene

may threaten to exhaust your com mitment to excellence. But be relent less, Toxic Warrior! Don’t give the rot a break!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Was it worth it, I ask myself,” begins Robert Dana’s poem “Summer,” “all those years of making music/for the deaf? All those somber/and brilliant colors worked/onto canvasses for the blind?” No doubt you’ve often posed similar questions in the history of your artful nurturing, Cancerian. I wish I could assure you that by the end of your life many years hence at least some o f your gifts will have been appreciated. I’d love to guarantee that your good intentions will yield the results you envision. But I can’t. That would be true to Hollywood’s and Christianity’s world view, but not real life. I can say this much, however: Regardless of what effect your gener ous self-expression has on other peo ple, it’ll be the greatest blessing you give yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The writer Joseph Chilton Pearce describes a girl who preferred radio to T V “because the pictures were so much more beautiful.” This furthers his argu ment, supported by psychologist Frances Wickes, “that many later childhood dysfunctions result from a lack of storytelling, fantasy play and imaginative ventures in prelogical years.” Poet Deena Metzger takes this idea even further. “It is possible,” she says wryly, “that deprivation in postlogical years is even more dire.” In other words, we adults also suffer ter rible hardships when our imagina tions are starved o f beauty. I hope these thoughts inspire you, Leo, to get your fill o f mysterious stories, exuberant daydreams and liberating

playtime. The planetary omens say it’s high time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dear Virgo: Rob Brezsny, the guy who usually writes your horoscopes, asked me to take over for him this week. Recently he has had many requests from me and other Virgos to tone down the poetry, philosophy and politics he’s so fond of. I mean, I like Brezsny’s work, but he doesn’t seem to realize that every so often we Virgos crave chatty, no-nonsense tips on daily life. Like now, for instance. So anyway, here’s my take on your imminent future: Change your air fresheners, move the furniture and try some new recipes. Love, Guru Tiffany. (P.S. Brezsny himself says to burrow your way down to the big funky bottom of things, wring the stale air out o f inflated expectations and squeeze more of your time’s and money’s worth out o f playthings you’ve been wasting.)

LIBRA

nr i f

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The mystic poet Kabir said the most important question we can ask our selves is, “What is it we spend our entire life loving?” Maybe you don’t agree that’s the central issue, but I’ll ask you to treat it as such for the foreseeable future. Why? I expect the year 2001 to bring you an explosion o f opportunities to express your spiri tual longing, excited devotion and creative generosity, and I doubt you’ll be able to take advantage o f all of them. It’s crucial to clarify your prior ities well before the explosion hits. Start now, please! Another way to ask the question comes from Ralph Metzger: “What is it you have spent your entire life trying to do?”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As a hard-driving stress-magnet, you probably don’t have the luxury of lounging around in your pajamas all week and watching the brainstorms that will just naturally be rolling through your imagination. So I’m forced to present a lite version o f the heavyweight advice I would have pre ferred to offer. Here ’tis: Steal every possible nanosecond of inspiring relaxation you possibly can. While stuck in a traffic jam, for instance, briefly let all your muscles go com pletely slack and try to catch a glimpse of the brainstorms that will just naturally be rolling through your imagination.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You remind me of a cir cus elephant who’s finally summoned the raging strength to break free after being chained to a tree for days. I wonder what you’ll do next? Rampage through the nearby streets, smashing and crashing? Or go off in search of a mud puddle big enough to roll around in? Pursuing the sec ond approach is far more likely to lead you into the custody of animalrights caregivers who’ll repatriate you to a hospitable homeland.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20reb. 18): It should be more jerfectly obvious than usual that you are an ever-changing work of art shaped not just by your self but by lots of other people. Given this fact, I say the time is right to for mally recognize the contributions of all your co-creators. In fact, how about if you produce a kind of Academy Award ceremony? Here are some o f the categories for which you could hand out your version of the Oscars (please dream up some others yourself): Most Surprising Teacher; Best Provider o f Smart Love; Most Loyal Ally in a Non-Smarmy Role; Most Useful Enemy; Best Wise-Ass Skeptic Who Keeps You Honest; Most Mysterious Catalyst.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Harper’s editor Lewis Lapham once asked (I’m paraphrasing): Which spectacle offends your sensibilities most, poor people buying shrimp with food stamps or Wall Street spec-’ ulators buying office buildings with tax-free junk bonds? That’s a good comparison to keep in mind as you decide where to direct your most fer tile anger — that is to say, how best to express your clearly articulated and constructive determination to derail the stinky status quo. You can’t change everything, Pisces, so my advice is to pick the biggest, baddest, most vulnerable target. ®

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, Operation Just Desserts is underway. All your sweat is at last being rewarded with sweets. Smiling admirers are arriving with sil ver platters full of ambrosia, manna and the nectar of the gods. Sugarlips is ready to announce, “To the victor go the most savory spoils ever.” If for some reason none of this is happening, please eat a pound of chocolate and call your therapist in the morning.

You can call Rob Broasny, day or night for your e

Dear Lola, My lever i<s incredible in almost every way, and I would do just about anything to make her happy. I know I should be grateful tor what we have and, believe me, I am. But sometimes I doubt that my sweetie is. The woman never says thank you ter any ct the things I do ter her, and this is really starting to bother me. In the last week alone, I’ve counted up 37 instances when a thank-you would have been appropriate. But not one was delivered. Am I unreasonable to teel resentful? Unacknowledged in Underhill

Dear Unacknowledged, It’s not unreasonable for you to feel unappre ciated. But unless you’ve let your lover know how you’re feeling, it would be unreasonable for you to feel resentful. How do you spell passive-aggres sive? In my bock, it’s silently tallying up infractions and waiting for her to guess what’s on your mind. There’s still plenty of time between now and Thanksgiving to stop being a turkey and trot out your complaint.
