Odd, strange, curious and weird but true news items from every corner of the globe

Follies of Democracy When Tennessee state Sen. Tommy Burks was shot to death in Tennessee less than three weeks before the elec tion, police charged Burks’ Republican challenger Byron (Low Tax) Looper, 34. At his arraignment the week before the election, Looper, who legally changed his name to “(Low Tax)” earlier in the year, said he remained “optimistic” of winning. Instead, he cap tured only 5 percent of the vote, losing to his opponent’s widow, Charlotte Burks, who, without campaigning publicly, captured 95 percent of the vote as a write-in candidate. “I never saw a write-in campaign kick off like this,” observed Larry Nunn, general manager of WCSD radio in Cookeville. Indiana Republican Rep. Dan Burton beat Democrat Bobby Kern, 34, despite Kern’s conviction for forgery and theft, his admission that he wore womens clothing in pub lic and his threat to get an Uzi and shoot up a bank that was thwarting his attempts to access his account. Kern also attracted attention by shooting melons in his back yard to support his theory that the death of former White House counsel Vincent Foster was murder, not suicide.

• Voters in Yakima County, Washington, re-elected Leonard Birkinbine, 74, to a fifth term as county coroner, despite the fact that he died the weekend before the elec tion. Birkinbine ran; unop posed. Reform Party candidate John Reynolds, 40, had planned to challenge Birkinbine, but he died in September, the day before the primary election. • Along with four states, the District of Columbia included a ballot initiative to legalize marijuana for medical use. Unlike those states, D.C. resi dents may never learn the out come because Washington is run by Congress. As a result, Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., added an amendment to the D.C. budget bill before the election stipulating that no money be spent in connection with the measure to legalize marijuana. The amendment applies, according to D.C. Cor poration Counsel John M. Ferren, because the election board would have to spend $1.64 to tabulate and release the results.

The Not-So-Great Depression An economic downturn in the Philippines caused a 48 percent rise in the kidnapping

rate as jobless people turn to crime, according to Alejandro Melchor III, a commissioner of the Presidential AntiOrganized Crime Commission. He added that kidnap gangs also have begun demanding bigger ransoms, with one syndicate asking for 50 million pesos (US$1.2 mil lion) for each abducted victim. • Times are so hard in Afghanistan, according to The New York Times, that some people in the capital of Kabul earn a living standing in pot holes in the streets. They point out the hazards to motorists, hoping for tips from grateful drivers. • When Russia could not pay for butter and milk it had bought from New Zealand in 1991, deputy prime minister Alexander Shokhin suggested two years later that the coun try accept a nuclear-powered submarine as payment, accord ing to New Zealand’s former prime minister Jim Bolger. Recounting the incident in his new autobiography, Bolger said the Russians’ first offer to settle its debt for the 100,000 tons of butter and 8000 tons of milk was two military air craft. • Russia’s current economic crisis has gotten to the point where television networks are

and its associated commercial ism, has outraged French politicians and intellectuals. Noting that until two years ago, most people shunned rev elry and observed the tradi tional All-Hallows on November 1 by visiting graves of loved ones, Philippe Seguin, the leader of President Jacques Chirac’s conservative party, declared: “I am staggered by the enthusiasm with which we have accepted, even embraced the Halloween tradition. As far as I am concerned, this is all part of cultural globalization, which, from our point of view, is a menace.”

cutting back on programming because of declining advertis ing revenue. “We are having to resort to reruns,” said Grigory Simonovich, a spokesperson for one of Russia’s leading net works, ORT. “Practically all TV channels are doing it now. We have to rerun programs from past months and even years.” • Many of Russia’s 17 railways have stopped carrying mail because the post office isn’t paying its bills and now owes about $13 million, according to Valery Zudin, a spokesper son for the Railways Ministry. As of October, more than 1000 mail cars had been side tracked, many stuffed with up to 18 tons of letters, newspa pers and parcels. Because of the back

Deep Dish B y P a u l a R outly ELBOWING IN: As comfort foods go, Kraft macaroni and cheese dinner ranks right up there. Who hasn’t sought solace in the skinny box with its promise of doughy elbows swimming in safety-orange “cheese” sauce? Long-distance hikers discovered early on that in addition to being light and cheap, the handy package allows you to do dinner alfresco without dirtying more than one pot. It takes a few more dishes to cook up the organic alterna tive, a dairy-free vegan “maca roni and chreese” from Roads End Organics in Morrisville. But the result is much healthier, and may, ultimately, get you further down the road. Twentyfive-year-old Matthew Koch launched the product a little over three months ago, and is already shipping 1200 boxes a week, mostly to health food stores in Vermont. The maca roni is whole wheat, of course, and the sauce is a blend of organic flour, sea salt and nutitional yeast. Stirred over a low flame, it thickens up to the consistency of cheese. “It looks like cheese and tastes like cheese, but it is definitely not cheese,” Koch points out. Hey, whatever orange dust was in that little metal pouch from Kraft didn’t come from a cow, either. Although it was designed with vegans in mind, “macaroni and chreese” is also free of fat, lactose and cholesterol. “We have the whole allergy thing going,” says Koch, noting a wheat-free variety is forthcom ing. His larger goal is to pro mote plant-based products that are eco-friendly — all of the packaging for his products are recycled, including the plastic, ziplock pouch of powder. Despite the green lettering on dark brown cardboard, the box screams fast-food. “We figured the easiest thing was to redo a classic, standard food that everybody has seen and is familiar with,” Koch says. “It makes trying something new a little bit easier.” A DIFFERENT KIND OF COOKBOOK: “American chefs serve it grilled, with sauteed foie gras and Sauternes, for instance, or fried, with seared filet mignon and shaved white truf fle...Yet back in Italy polenta has always been a staple of the poor,” New Hampshire-based Teresa Lust writes in the first of 16 food-fueled essays in Pass the Polenta. Mixing history and

“how to” in the tradition of M.F.K. Fisher and Laurie Colwin, Lust writes with deli cious simplicity about wine, mushrooms, Caesar salads, bread, pie and scones. She even devotes an essay to the subject of edible aphrodisiacs. Excepting a biography of James Beard, Pass the Polenta is the first foray into food publishing for South Royalton-based Steerforth Press. “It is really a memoir, about her family and about cooking,” says publicist Helga Schmidt, praising the book for its lyrical, unpretenious style. “Cooking to please is not as evident as pleasure in cooking,” The Los Angeles Times commented, “a belief in being true to a recipe’s history, and to its main ingredients, which are nothing less than characters in her story.” PASTA PRESIDENT: He may not be a great candidate for immaculate conception, but Lou Vaccaro sure makes a mean spaghetti sauce. The new presiup his sleeves Sunday and cooked Italian for 300. Twentyeight gallons of bolognese and 48 pounds of pasta later, he had satisifed more than bunch of hungry students. “It is a way to extend the sense of family that people experience when they come to these kind of colleges. It’s a way to communicate that we care about them,” says Vaccaro. It may also be a way to communicate that the first male president of Trinity is not just some macho guy. He makes a habit of cooking in large quan tities. At his last job at a college in Michigan, Vaccaro made meatballs for 600. ON THE SWEET SIDE: There are no glass elevators in the new, improved Lake Champlain Chocolate Factory. But otherwise “it’s Willy Wonka — totally,” retail sales director Gary Coffey says of the expanded facility on Pine Street. Architect John Anderson had a Belgian chocolate shop in mind when he reworked the former George Little Press building into “the ultimate chocolate destination.” Visitors can mull about marble candy cases stocked with award-win ning confections or take the red birch ramp straight back to the “chocolate observation deck,” for a 180-degree view of the operation. Tropical murals and a diorama detailing the sweet stages of cocoa production complete the visitor “educa

tion.” Says Coffey, “I don’t see why it can’t be Ben & Jerry’s, Teddy Bear and Lake Champlain Chocolates” . . . Move over, maple. Vermont is now producing a second amber-colored sugar substitute that goes great with pancakes: sorghum syrup. North Bennington farmer John Williamson has been experi menting with different varieties of the corn-like crop for four years. As with sugar cane, the sweet juice is extracted from its stalks and boiled up like maple sap. The difference? It starts out with 18 to 20 percent sugar and ends up tasting a lot like molasses. Down south, where this “old-time sweetener” is more coveted than syrup, you can get 100 gallons to the acre. Williamson, who has been pro cessing his three acres by hand, is selling like, well, hotcakes. LEFTOVERS: Two “rising stars” in the Vermont specialty food industry got singled out in the October issue of Gourmet News. The magazine profiled maple maven Judy Maclsaac and sheep cheesemaker Cindy Major in its round-up of young food figures entitled, “Twenty Under Forty.” That’s pretty good odds for the small state of Vermont. Highland Sugarworks was first in “to put maple syrup into a specialty glass bottle and to introduce private reserve and cooking maple,” writes Gourmet News. Major is co-owner of Vermont Shepherd, producing some of the finest, and most expensive, sheep cheese in the country . . . One of the original founders of the New England Culinary Institute is taking a break from the business. John Dranow, who started N.E.C.I. with Fran Voigt, is on a “leave of absence,” according to officials at the school. “He is still affili ated with the school, he is still an owner,” says spokeswoman Ellen McShane, noting John Mayfield has taken over Dranow’s duties as chief operat ing officer. McShane says Dranow is busy at home with a new baby and his book, The M afic Step, which has been optioned for a movie . . . Vermont livestock producers are traveling further to get their animals butchered. The closing of Green Mountain Meats in Hyde Park — one of the largest processing plants in the state — is the latest in a string of slaughterhouses that have gone belly up. In the past decade, the state has lost plants in Middlebury, Georgia, Williston and Springfield. Like dairy farms, “As they roll over from one generation to another, these places tend to go out business,” says Deputy Agriculture Commissioner Roger Clapp. “And as the industry becomes more centralized, it becomes more difficult for smaller opera tors to enter.” That’s baaad news for farmers, but could bode well for local cows, pigs, and sheep. ®

SEVEN BAYS

tu rk e y hen I was five at my Grandmother’s house, I was about eye-level with the Thanksgiving table. I remember being under neath that table and the white tent of the tablecloth hanging in the sunlight. I can also tell you about the tassels around the bottom of the couches in my grandmother’s house and how it felt to lie on the floor among all those tall relatives in black jackets and black, rustling taffeta dresses, and how they moved about like a flock of dark birds laughing. I stood hidden in the drap ery behind the couch when Great-Aunt Olla played the piano before dinner. She was a mystic, a fortune teller, though I did not know exactly what that meant. I can remember her long, pure white hair and her eyes — two blue globes spin ning. For dinner the children sat at a small separate table with Great-Aunt Dodo, who was always correcting a child named Little Jenny, who, it seemed, could never do anything right. Then all of a sudden it was snowing, and the door opened and great veils of it poured in, and my father was standing there with snow on his over coat, snow even on his eye brows. I got up and threw myself around his legs and hugged his snowy shoes. Then my Grand-mother was carrying it, the turkey.. .sweet smelling, brown embodiment of memory, where Daddy rocked me, where Mother held me. I watched my Grand mother set the turkey down on the table, its glowing, golden body singing. — Phoebe Stone

m a sh e d p o ta to e s ass the potatoes, please. As a lad I’d say that three, maybe four times during a Thanksgiving dinner. Somehow, for that special meal, the malleable white mush took on elevated allure. Less com monplace condiments — pickled watermelon rind, cranberryorange compote, and creamed onions — seemed like superflu ous contrivances. In those days I was a young Vermonter in the making. W ith developing certainty, I knew exactly how things should be. When I said, “Pass the pota toes,” I had precise culinary expectations: They should be thoroughly pulverized — no lumps allowed. And they had to be free of all exotic additives. No chives, no garlic, no‘arcane experimental ingredients like tomato paste or olive oil. • Potatoes must be simple and

direct: just whole milk and lots of butter (margarine, actually. My mother called it oleo.) If things had run their course, I might have matured into that grizzled old coot at church suppers who complains to the aproned matron that the

mashed potatoes are too goddamn spicy. But after years of analysis, agony and intro spection, I have discovered why Thanksgiving mashed potatoes took on elevated appeal. They

stuffing n my family all anybody ever cared about was the stuffing. My memories of Thanksgivings in West Scranton, in a part of north eastern Pennsylvania where anthracite coal was once king, remain vivid decades after the actual feasts. My large extended family would gather at the house of one relative or anoth er; there would always be plenty of the usual good things to eat, with turkey and mashed pota toes and peas and lots of cran berry jelly, and nobody would dare to neglect the homemade pumpkin pie, which was the specialty of my maternal grand mother. But the one thing everybody fought over was the stuffing.

the stuffing, but I can’t verify that. My cousins and I would all scream at once, “Pass the stuffing, please!” It still gratifies me when, years later, my three sons — Will, Oliver and Leo — seem especially taken with the stuff ing. Maybe it’s not as good as in the old days. W hat is? But there is something wonderfully sensual about stuffing: the aroma, the way it has been per meated with the ancient flavor of turkey, the velvet texture, modified by just a hint of crunch and, best of all, the sat isfaction afterwards, a feeling in your stomach of security, the solid feel of tradition transmo grified by carbohydrates into actual experience. — Jay Parini

more closely resembled Asian cuisine than American history. Rice was our staple starch, not potatoes, and certainly not the sweet kind. In the mind of Capt. Bercaw, M .D., the coun try would have been far better off if Native Americans had given the pilgrims a nice Omega-3-fatty-acid-rich fish instead of an L-triptophaneladen turkey. When it came to food, his medical degree took precedence over his pedigree. The four of us sat in our Florida home on the last Thursday of every November eating our rations in the same formation as any other day.

illustrations by paul antonson were fundamental, essential, endlessly appetizing. They were something I understood and, ultimately, something I could control. I’d add extra margarine to create a smooth, yellowish, nearly lethal gruel. I could then shape it any way I wanted, mold it with my fork until it resembled a tiny snow-covered Vermont hill, tinted with sun shine. Then like a Creator of sorts, I could hollow-out a vol canic depression to be filled with rich brown lava. Then I’d devour it. Back then mashed potatoes made me feel in charge. I’m better today. — Joseph A. Citro

To this day my heart sinks when a Thanksgiving rolls around and the stuffing is inad equate, a mixture of prefab bits and pieces taken from a box and shoved into the thankless bird. This just doesn’t make it for people like me, who remem ber the days when stuffing was stuffing, real bits of bread, deli cately broken into quarter-sized bits days before and left to dry in the air. This was mixed with onions cut to the appropriate size as well, with garlic and cel ery, with just the right portions of salt, pepper, nutmeg and paprika.

Sometimes my father played war games with us to improve our minds. “Which was the battle that changed the course of the Civil War?” was the sort of thing he’d ask. If we didn’t know, then we were sentenced to our rooms until we could find the correct response. Manassas was an easy one because we’d been there several times and it was his answer to everything. After dinner we got our marching orders. “Now let’s all take a walk so we don’t stroke,” he said, as if it were the obvious course of action and using the noun as a verb. “Most people

make the mistake of laying down after the meal and that’s why the emergency room is full of stroke victims on Thanks giving and Christmas. Thank God I’m not on call today.” It wasn’t until my first Yankee Thanksgiving with my friends in Vermont, some 16 years later, that a sweet potato came into my life. Witnessing a Canadian at the table devour this foreign food — slathered in brown sugar and molasses, unencumbered by talk of Manassas — prompted me to taste them. It was love at first bite. And as much as my dad would hate to hear this, we laid down afterwards. About a year later, though, that Canadian and I did take a walk. Down the aisle. — Nancy Stearns Bercaw

g ra v y y mother’s Thanksgiving gravy was never lumpy. It was light, clear and sweetly pungent, with hints of basil, parsley and sage. I will never forget the taste, or even the smell, as it was passed around

the table. It is my own Proustian madeleine; one sniff is enough to evoke remem brances of Thanksgivings past. It is 1957 and my maternal grandparents have joined our family of seven for Thanksgiving. I am eight years old. My father, my grandfather, my two brothers and I wear crisp white shirts and ties. My mother, my grandmother and my sisters are all in their Sunday best. We are using the good china, the good silver, and are sitting at our solid oak dining room table that is strictly off limits most of the year. It is covered with a crisp, thick white tablecloth. My younger brother and I have linen hand kerchiefs tucked stiffly beneath out chins. The memory, like my moth er’s gravy that inspired it, is light and clear. There is talk of Eisenhower, the Cleveland Indians and my older brother’s first year at college. A light snow dusts the front lawn. We all seem so incredibly happy. The day — as were so many back then — is filled with love and laughter. As the memory fades, I think lovingly of those eight who surrounded me at that Thanksgiving feast, so many years ago, so many lives ago. To each of them I will raise a glass and, as I do every

plural pies, for at our house no Thanksgiving over the 40 years my wife and I have been mar ried has been complete without at least three pies on the groan ing board. We sometimes feed as many as 20 people, and on such occasions Louise has been known to bake four or five dif ferent varieties of pie, each more delicious than the last. The staples, of course, are traditional apple and pumpkin. In a good apple year, I fre quently fill my game-pocket during the upland bird season with “feral” apples — varieties no longer grown commercially. Some of these apples, survivors of now-extinct 19th-century orchards, have far more flavor than anything available at any body’s Grand Union or ShopRites. One summer we grew Hubbard squashes in our veg etable garden, and the Thanks giving pie that crowned the growing season was the best “pumpkin” I’ve ever eaten. For some years we had a grape arbor in our backyard, and the Concords it produced generated a juicy purple grape pie fit for the gods. Other favorites include lattice-topped cherry, pecan, cranberry, lemon meringue and, back in the days when our son still lived at home, his special preference, banana cream. No one in our house ever has to be warned to save room for dessert. — Robert Jones

This is going to involve some emotional baby steps,

Initial attempts at jazzing up the cranberry sauce to junior-dessert status flamed out in an unfortunate Easybake oven electrical fire. But I beat on, foisting cranber ries against the current. Finally I nailed a cranberrysauce experience that is akin to mainlining Sweet-Tarts. None of that orange-rind dandruff or the distracting gravelly nut fac tor; just several cups of sugar tossed into cranberry “sauce” straight from the can, and purged raw berries thrown in for authenticity. But even the perfect cran berry sauce hasn’t erased the trauma of imperfect Thanksgivings. I’ll probably have to learn pumpkin pie for that. — Nancy Paine

to fu step up. I step up to the plate, the delicate, flowered, gold trimmed dishware resting unto the table inside the country home where we are all assembled, this bright November day. Hours o f kitchen happenings wander by. Colanders rinse spinach, soup is stirred, hard-magenta-tuberous beets boil vigorously. Counters, scoured gendy then intermit tently covered with knives, sponges, cookies, napkins, but ter, coffee and spice dribblings. We turn the oven on. We marinate. We chop. We use knives and bowls handed down through generations of ornate kitchen and Thanksgiving meanderings. Minced onions and garlic sizzle and sweeten in a thick oil of olive and peppercorn.

And then in the center, the heart of the table the crux to which this entire meal revolves and evolves and becomes rests a beautiful, sculpted true-to-form piece of baked, salty tofu. A turkey of tofu. A centerpiece to the living. A tradition replaced. We all fill our plates with this, a time for Giving Thanks. This, a time for leaving the Turkey in the woods.

By Ruth Horowitz t’s 10 o'clock in the morning, and M ark Pendergrast hasn’t had his first cup o f coffee. Hurrying me into the kitchen o f his suburban Essex home, he pulls a bag from the freezer and spills the contents into his Polani Plantation roast er, basically an aluminum pie pan pierced with holes. The “green” beans look like hard little camouflage-colored half peanuts. Pendergrast assures me that they're Kenya AA Masai, a coffee variety whose “snappy acidity” makes it the best in the world.

Up until recently, Pendergrast didn’t know beans about coffee. He’s no ordi nary Joe, however, but an investigative reporter and the author of two huge, heavily researched tomes: For God, Country and Coca Cola, an unautho rized history of the world’s favorite soft drink, and Victims o f Memory, a contro versial exploration of the recovered memory movement. Over the last three years, he’s interviewed scores of coffee professionals, harvested beans in Central America, and pored over reams of historic documents, becoming so infused with caffeinated lore that he now qualifies as a leading coffee history

expert. This summer, when ^ Basic Books releases Uncommon Grounds: The History o f Coffee and How It Transformed the World, the reading and drinking public will be able to taste Pendergrast s percolated knowl edge for themselves. Pendergrast admits he was initially reluctant to write about coffee. “I didn’t want to be type-cast as just writing about caffeinated beverages,” he says. Despite his misgivings, the hot, black brew ultimately proved too robust to resist. A simple bean with no nutritive value, coffee packs a powerful punch. According to Pendergrast, cof fee employs an estimated 20 million people worldwide. The drink has been banned as sedi tious, demonized as deadly, extolled as a panacea, and enlisted in the overthrow of dictators. In fact, after oil — another dark, energizing liquid — coffee now ranks as the sec ond most valuable legal export commodity on the planet. When the temperature reaches 460 degrees, Pendergrast slips the pan o f green beans into the oven. Coffee was first cultivated about a thousand years ago, in Ethiopia. The pre-hybridized

plant grows as a low shrub on sunlight-dappled hillsides. Originally, the caffeine-laced leaves were brewed for tea. The beans that wind up in our cap puccinos come from cranberry

After oil — another dark, energizing liquid — coffee now ranks as the second most valuable legal export commodity on the planet. like fruits, called “cherries.” In Ethiopia and Yemen, a drink called kishr — also caffeinated — is made from the fruit’s sweet flesh. The rest of the world throws away 80 percent of the fruit and saves the hard bean at its core. After four minutes, the beans begin to smell like boiling chick peas. A t seven minutes, the first soft pings, like whispering pop corn, come from the oven. A properly prepared cup of coffee satisfies with its rich

human brain, the drug keeps us awake by interfering with a nat ural agent that makes us drowsy. Is coffee bad for you? The answer depends on whom you ask and — as Pendergrast is more than happy to point out — the motives of the person replying. In 17th-century England, coffeehouses were wildly popu lar. Husbands often spent hours in these all-male bastions. To combat this trend, a 1674 pam phlet entitled Womens Petition Against Coffee warned that unbridled coffee consumption

pamphlet proclaimed. “The Excessive use of that Newfangled, Abominable, Heathenish Liquor called Coffee has so Eunucht our Husbands...they come from it with nothing moist but their snotts Noses, nothing stiffe but their Joints, nor standing but their Ears.” In response, the men coun tered that rather than making them limp, the drink actually “makes the erection more Vigorous, the Ejaculation more full, adds a spiritualescency to the Sperme.”

Another coffee health scare was raised in the United States, in 1900, when Charles W. Post made a quick fortune peddling his coffee alternative, Postum. An early master of pseudo-sci ence and slick advertising, Post asserted that coffee attacks “the pneumogastric nerve,” leading to paralysis, and disintegrated brain tissue. Interestingly, less than 30 years later, Post’s expanded company became General Foods, and General Foods invested some o f the mil lions Post made demonizing coffee to purchase Maxwell House.

oday, coffee is still the subject of intense scruti ny. It has been investigat ed in connection with ailments ranging from pancreatic cancer to bone loss and mental dys function. Pendergrast concludes that although the drink can contribute to high blood pres sure, insomnia, anxiety disor ders and acid indigestion, no link has been proven between moderate coffee consumption and any health problem. In fact, he says, coffee can boost athletic performance, alleviate asthma, allay allergy symptoms and diminish migraines.

Continued from page 11 In 10 minutes, Pendergrast pulls the beans from the oven. They’re a rich, reddish brown, and twice their original size. He dumps them into a colander and carries them outside to cool. Standing on his front stoop, he shakes the colander and blows on the beans. The papery, brown chaffflies into his hair, where stray pieces remain for the rest o f the morning.

Whatever effect coffee may have on the body, the potential impact of coffeehouses on the body politic has long been sus pected. In 1511, coffee was banned in Mecca, where coffee houses were considered centers of sedition. In 1675, coffee houses were banned in Eng land, where King Charles II feared that the tradesmen who frequented them were defaming His Majesty’s government. And here in the United States, in the late 1960s, Klansmen attacked “GI coffeehouses,” where enlisted men were exposed to anti-war literature.

Pendergrast calls the rise of coffee an epicurean indulgence emblematic of current tastes in all things exotic and luxurious. Ironically, the advent of gourmet varieties began with the erosion of quality in massmarket brands. First there was instant coffee, and then, some time in the 1960s, companies like General Foods and Hills Brothers started cutting costs by using robusta — an inex pensive coffee species with twice the caffeine and half the price of arabica, the “quality” coffee species. As coffee importer Erna Knutsen told Pendergrast, “It was awful stuff. All you had to do was smell this robusta to know it was putrid.” Enter Alfred Peet, the son of a Dutch coffee roaster. Appalled by the poor quality of North American coffee, Peet opened a Berkeley coffeehouse in 1966 called Pete’s. Folks lined up around the block to buy a cup of his dark-roast, high-quality brew, and to soak up the strident charisma of the proprietor, whom Pendergrast describes as the coffee equiva lent of Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi. “He did not suffer fools gladly,” the author reports, “He would shout, ‘Never boil cof fee! Never use a percolator with

my beans! Get out!’” Otle day three young men from Seattle walked into Pete’s, loved what they tasted, and went home to open the first Starbucks in 1971. Connoisseurs like Knutsen rate coffee on four criteria: aroma, flavor, acidity — not the actual pH, but a certain “snap” or “brightness” — and body, which Pendergrast defines as “the weight it has in the mouth.” Coffee judging, or “cup ping,” involves an arcane ritual begun in San Francisco 100 years ago. Cuppers perch on

to health care. For those who want guilt-free beans, he touts products like Green Mountain Coffee Roasters’ “stewardship” coffee, sales of which go to pay laborers decent wages. Another hot issue brewing around coffee is environmental ism. In the interest of efficien cy, coffee producers have devel oped hybrid, quick-ripening plants that grow in full sun. But eco-activists point out that the elimination of the tall, shade-casting trees from coffee plantations is devastating for myriad bird species. And the loss of organic nutrients from

The drink has been banned as seditious, demonized as deadly, extolled as a panacea, and enlist ed in the overthrow of dictators. stools around a sort of lazy Susan. Special porcelain cups are filled with coffee that has been uniformly roasted, ground and infused. Because the coffee is so fresh, a crust forms on the top of the cup. The cupper leans over the table, breaks the crust with a special spoon, and raises the liquid for a sniff. When the coffee has cooled enough to drink, the cupper slurps it up, making a disgust ing sound as the coffee is brought in contact with all the taste buds at once. The bever age is then swished around in the mouth and spat out. Pendergrast pours the grounds into a pre-heated press pot and adds boiling water. When a pale, fizzy head rises to the top, he stirs it down with a wooden spatula. Then he adds enough water to fill the pot, and covers it with the piston. For the politically correct, drinking a cup of coffee can be an act of conscience. The peo ple who harvest and process coffee only earn around $3 a day — the price of a couple large lattes and a donut at a Burlington coffeehouse. Though three American dollars buys a lot more in, say, Guatemala, than here, Pend ergrast reports that working conditions on coffee planta tions are usually grim, with no running water and little access

the surrounding greenery means using more artificial fer tilizers. Pendergrast suggests that bird lovers flock to certi fied earth-friendly brands like Cafe Audubon. Though he doesn’t shy from sharing his politics, Pendergrast is considerably more mellow on matters of taste. He recom mends buying all arabica, whole-bean coffee packed in bags with freshness-ensuring one-way valves. He prefers medium to dark roast, which he says tastes like “charcoal.” But he insists he’s not a coffee snob. “Anything people like is okay,” he acknowledges. “If someone really likes percolated coffee, I say, let them have it.” Despite all his research, Pendergrast is hardly a coffee fiend. He drinks only one or two cups a day, and still hasn’t learned to take it black. After five minutes, the coffee is ready. Pendergrast pushes down the plunger, separating the grounds from the liquid, and pours: a flowered cup for himself, and for me a mug labeled “Chemical Waste Management. ” Then he adds a dollop o f evapo rated milk, spoons in some sugar, stirs and sips. The aroma is won derful, the flavor fu ll and rich, the bite crisp but not sharp, and the long-awaitedjo lt to the brain spells instantaneous relief. Pendergrast is ready to start his days work. ®

ts noon on Monday and Gerard Rubaud has slipped off his clogs and is sitting with his feet up. It’s the end of his 11-hour work day, and the wooden racks in his bakeshop are crowded with beautiful, brown, crusty, oblong loaves of bread. His baker’s whites are a bit rumpled and he rubs a hand across his forehead and back through his near-shoulder-length hair, but there’s not the slightest hint of fatigue in his crinkled eyes. Rubaud invites me to sit at the large square table that dom inates the room, while he and two young women organize the day’s deliveries. ? “Two returns yesterday,” remarks one of the two. Rubaud winces only slightly. This is rare — usually his bread sells out within a few hours, but it’s his policy to take back any loaves not sold the day they’re made. The women slip the loaves one by one into brown paper bags and load them into wood en crates — no metal or plastic touch either the dough or the finished loaves, because both need to breathe. The 100 to 120 loaves that Rubaud bakes by himself each day — seven days a week, 50 weeks a year — are divided among his eight accounts, some of which get no more than 10 or 12 loaves a day. “That’s enough, non!' he quips, his French accent soft ened only slightly by 24 years in Vermont. “My idea is not to run all over the place,” he explains. As Rubaud sees it, large industrial bakeries end up in the trucking business, spending more money and energy on shipping bread than on baking it. Rubaud has no interest in this; his dream is to be a com munity baker, and he approaches it with the idealism of a philosopher. “A baker should deliver his own bread,” he says — Rubaud does, two days each week. “If you lose this, you’re not a community baker,” he adds. For him, bak-

ing bread is an attitude, a process, a lifestyle. But it hasn’t always been so. Growing up in the French Alps, Rubaud’s first passion was downhill skiing. His singlemindedness was already appar ent as he skied to the exclusion of all other interests — includ ing school. After being tossed out of school for the third and final time at age 13, his father told him, “Okay, you can ski, but you must work.” Rubaud landed a job as an apprentice in a bakery — not because he particularly cared about baking, but because the early morning hours left him the rest of the day to ski. After a few years, he traveled to Austria for a nine-month stint in a pastry shop. When it came time for his compulsory mili tary service, he completed it by teaching skiing and rock climb ing in Chamonix, and left his career as a baker behind him — or so he thought. In 1964, after joining the French National Ski Team and establishing himself as a promi nent ski racing coach, Rubaud was hired by Rossignol to run their race program. Ten years

later, Rossignol built their plant in Williston and moved Rubaud to Vermont. “When I was the racing director for Rossi, my goal was to run the company,” Rubaud says. And he did; for several years, he was the president of the U.S. Division of Rossignol. But after 21 years with the company, Rubaud became disil lusioned with the industry and

get the master baker to talk about bread. Instead, he waxed about unrelated topics from American culture and astrology. Somewhat discouraged, Rubaud left the ski industry anyway, and launched a new food-processing venture in Fairfax, Vermont. Now he prefers not to discuss the details o f his eight years devoted to high-quality vacuum-packed

Gerard’s bread may appear under-dressed, but the experience of eating it is a revelation. the lifestyle, and he began to look back fondly on his days as a baker. On business trips to France, Rubaud visited the worldfamous Parisian baker Lionel Poilane, whose four-and-a-halfpound round country loaves, called boules, had sparked a renaissance in traditional arti sanal bread, both in France and abroad. On both visits with Poilane, Rubaud was unable to

sous-vide foods. Rubaud sum marizes, “I should have done the bread thing when Poilane was telling me about the stars.” Instead, he opened Gerard’s restaurant in the Radisson Hotel in Burlington as a show case for his sous-vide foods. The concept was revolution ary — a restaurant with no real cooking, sort of a haute approach to “boil-in-a-bag.” Continued on next page

Continued from page 15 But throughout this venture, the lure of bread continued to tug at him. Rubaud began to read anything he could find about traditional bread-making and wood-fired ovens. During this time, the French government finally lift ed the price controls from arti sanal breads, which sparked a great resurgence of traditional bread-making in France and the refurbishing of a lot of old community brick and stone ovens. Rubaud traveled again to his homeland to visit this new generation of “old-fashioned” bakers and to study their ovens. On one fateful trip, he visited with a third-generation Swiss miller who had formed an alliance with 82 bakers and six farmers in one region. Together, the group formed a fully inte grated, self-sustained agrarian community that continues to grow wheat, mill flour, bake bread and nourish itself on these loaves. This became Rubaud s new dream.

“Bread is so personal that my name stays where my hands are.” — Gerard Rubaud baking. At first the oven was a hobby, and Rubaud experi mented with baking on week ends. After several months, he began taking some of his bread to the restaurant to serve along side other local breads. Soon he noticed that diners were pick ing his bread out of the bread basket and leaving the rest. In July 1995, he closed the restau rant to bake full-time. More than three years later, Rubaud continues to bake the same loaf of bread he started with. Unlike many of the new bakeries popping up every where, he’s not tempted to offer different varieties or flavors. The bread is naturally leavened,

acids — the goal is to find 200.” He also claims to have the best well water in the world. “I could bake with any flour, but without the best water,” he insists, “it’s impossi ble.” Over the years, Rubaud has played with the nuances of his formula to achieve a perfect loaf. To illustrate this point, we shuffle across the flour-and-ash patina on the floor to the sacks of flour and grain stacked against the wall. Rubaud tells me about his work with three nearby growers and two millers to produce enough grain locally for his bread.

SEVEN DAYS

holding our breath until the answer was either obvious — creamed corn! — or nebulous, as in, “Is this corned-beef hash or Kennel Ration?” When I turned 12 it was time to go to work in the store. Clad in a clean white apron, which hung down to my knees, I could only work in the back room, probably because Dad didn’t want his customers to think he was violating child labor laws. Because Taft’s was in a resort town, we sold a lot of “pop” — that’s Midwestern for soda — and it was my job to sort the returned bottles into empty cases. The money for my labors wasn’t bad — a whop ping 35 cents an hour — but I considered the main perk to be snagging the new M ad maga zines and “D C ” comic books as soon as they hit the rack. I worked at Dad’s grocery

Maraschino cherries: I would look around surreptitiously, unscrew the lid, eat the top three cherries, replace the lid and put the jar back on the shelf. (There were enough chemicals in those little trumped-up fruits that they never spoiled.) Other flings included cold spaghetti straight from the can; Gerber tapioca pudding; slices of raw potato, onion and turnip with Henri’s slaw dressing; sauerkraut, also cold from the can; and, of course, a cracker on the tongue which I would load up with “squirt cheese.” Since any broken bags of candy were taken into the break room, I was guilty of “acciden tally” poking my finger through the plastic surrounding my objective — until the day my Dad caught me. And believe me, when your boss is also your father, getting caught is a dou ble whammy. Later on, back at the raised

store until I was 19. If we car ried it, I knew where it was — from the hard-to-fmd items like matches (in the “soap” aisle) to the “Potted Meat Food Product,” a close cousin to Spam. Eventually, I did pretty much everything there was to do — stock shelves, unload trucks, clean the smelly spilled milk out of the dairy case, mop the floor after a breakage disas ter. There was also the occa sional excitement of a “security alert” — a message from Dad to discreetly keep my eyes on a potential shoplifter. Like any teenager, I man aged my share of hijinks and escapades in between the aisles. For a few years, I was deter mined to sample at least one of every item in the store. This lead me to such creative lunch es as salami with hot mustard, boil-in-the-bag Green Giant Brussels sprouts in butter sauce, a bag of barbecue potato chips, a large kosher dill and a choco late eclair, all washed down with a Faygo Brau Ginger Beer. Then there were the food fetishes — I still don’t quite understand how my body toler ated those bizarre cravings. Circus peanuts: those orange, styrofoam-like confections that seem to give off a strange gas when you bite i$ro them.

ranch, we could afford to give the damaged grocery-store goods to charity. For our meals, Mom would cook up such spe cials as the Sunday-night accompaniment to Disney-onTV: toasted white bread spread with Miracle Whip and piled with grated onion, hot dogs and Velveeta. This was broiled gingerly until the plastic-like orange cheese product began to bubble. Yum!

s everyone who’s ever slung their mashed pota toes knows, there are lots of fun things to do with food. Imagine, then, the possi bilities in a grocery store. The produce department offered the greatest opportunities, in part because the fruits and vegeta bles weren’t pre-packaged. Every summer, a large semi full of watermelons would arrive from down South, and we would gather four or five workers to unload them, assem bly line-style. Invariably, some of the melons would get dropped and split open. These were taken to the workbench where we “filleted” them, that is, cut out the core section without any seeds, then ate that part and threw away the rest. Once, we found a tarantula

Generally they were sold in open boxes by the bunch, which meant that when the bunches were gone lots of indi vidual loose ones would remain. They were still perfect ly edible, but no matter how well we packaged them, the customers wouldn’t buy ’em. So one day Ron — another teenaged goober employed by Dad — and I came up with the brilliant idea of a grape-stufFing contest.

B y B r ya n S tratton here’s only one way to account for the cafes per capita in Middlebury: the constant flow oFS?<£H^ciL?H carrying college students spilling into surrounding shops, restaurants and stores. Like so many college towns, this one has a love-hate relationship with its biggest bankrollers. That dynamic often takes on a Tuttle-McMullen sort of ten sion — old-fashioned stick-inthe-mud Vermontism versus big-money “ain’t-from-aroundhere” development. With the College’s 1996 presentation of a 10-year Master Plan, which called for a larger student body and tens of millions of dollars in construc tion, the town collectively arched its back and bristled its fur. Many expected to sharpen their claws on one of the first proposals — a new student union dubbed “The Grille.” However, even the most cynical college critics are finding the all-purpose eatery is hard to hate. The Grille is a two-floor student center, located in McCullough Hall, which boasts a convenience store, an arcade, a wide-screen television, three pool tables, a computer lab, the college’s first student pub in almost a decade, and a performance stage that is booked several nights a week. Not since The Alibi was rock ing ’round the clock have there been so many nightlife options in Middlebury. Food, too. Right up until the wee hours of the morning, students and locals can drop by

DiJi T*. is, ||k with real panther. ......... Those preferring a more healthy alternative may choose a generously assembled sand wich, with as many veggie choices as Subway, and more bread options to boot. Or they can go downstairs to the juice bar for a “smoothie,” a meal in a blender made with fresh fruit, yogurt and juices. The prices are not unreasonable, but any student on campus can charge their purchases with their ID card and send the interest-free bill home to mom and dad. As a whole, the entire enter prise is Star-Trek chic, and flirts dangerously with being ostenta tious. While the space it occu pies once hosted a swimming pool, The Grille replaces the Crest Room, a money pit inge niously disguised as a snack bar. Last year, the Crest Room ran up a deficit of $120,000. But that apparently didn’t break the bank. The college turned around and spent $3 million building the Grille. The process was collabora tive. Student Government Association President John Felton and college administra tors worked closely with incoming Director of Dining Services Peter Napolitano and the Burlington-based architec tural firm of Freeman, French and Freeman. According to Napolitano, plans for The Grille always involved a pub which served beer and wine, but alcohol “never was the focal point.” Unfortunately for the

College, it did slow down the permit process. Like most college campuses, Middlebury College has had its share of alcohol-related “inci dents” — mostly noise com plaints from bleary-eyed locals. Due in part to these com plaints, the College moved three of its five social houses to the western edge of campus in the sound-absorbent Ridgeline Woods. Residents from Chipman Park, neighbors of the Alpha chapter of Kappa Delta Rho, protested the pub and the College’s lack of con trol over the drinking problems on campus. As a result, the selectboard initially denied The Grille’s liquor license.

Even the most cynical college crit ics are find ing the all purpose eatery is hard to hate. The College asserted that if alcohol was a problem on cam pus, the students needed to have a positive example of how to imbibe responsibly, and administrators proposed a three-drink maximum at The Grille. After reconsideration, the selectboard voted to allow the liquor license; the first beers flowed in September, two months after the super snack

bar opened. There have been no Grille-related incidents since. W ith one hurdle cleared, the College faced complaints from local merchants. Several business owners, including the owner of Mr. Ups restaurant, expressed concerns the multi purpose facility could draw business away from Middlebury’s downtown. The College countered by citing a selectboard request to keep the college students on campus as much as possible. This unusual edict came after a 1994 traffic survey that placed blame for the town’s congested streets on the college students. Furthermore, as an educational institution, the College pays lit tle or no property taxes on most of its buildings. The mes sage from the selectboard implied that if the College weren’t paying for the roads, they shouldn’t be using them. John Tenney, chair of the selectboard, admits there’s been “no noticable reduction in traf fic” since The Grille opened, but he adds that he has heard no complaints from local busi ness owners, either. Kristin Smith, owner of the year-old Middlebury Coffee House, says that she didn’t notice any dip in sales; in fact, her growing enterprise has seen just the opposite. “We love college business,” she says, “but we’re e not dependent pn fajgjj Ultima DanfortB, cn-ow of Woody’s Restaurant, wasn’t all that concerned when plans for The Grille began to circu late. “We’ve been around for more than 15 years, and we’ve done so well because we don’t try to get caught up in others’ business.” She says that the year has been good to Woody’s, and encourages anything that draws more people to Middlebury. And how do the students feel about this more perfect student union, which also attracts local high school kids? “It’s so much more...opulent than I thought it would be,” says Courtney Brocks, a sopho more and frequent Grille per former. “It’s strange to see here in Middlebury. I’m not sure I’d go if it was in my town.” But she does enjoy playing The Grille and getting paid for it, something many college per formers don’t often experience. The College hasn’t been shy about showing off The Grille, either. It’s a frequent stop on every campus tour, impressing prospective students and their parents alike. Between The Grille, the new Ridgeline Woods social houses ($12 mil lion) and the soon-to-be-com pleted Bicentennial Hall ($47 million), Middlebury College has “raised the bar” of excel lence, says Napolitano. Literally. Judging from the crowd, students — and every body else in this town — will drink to that. ®

SOUnd AdviCe ‘JACK’ BE NIMBLE You don’t think of suburban Connecticut as the center of any music scene, much less rudies who guzzle high-octane for breakfast. But Spring Heeled Jack was one good-sized leap from NYC and the legendary Toasters, and thereby hangs an influence. Super-charged ska-punk flowed straight outta CT and all over the Northeast, and soon enough the sevenpiece Spring Heeled Jack was a favorite wherever outrageous horn sections and frenetic frontmen are honored. Like at Club Toast, this Thursday.

SWEET RELEASE Those of you who are not releasing CDs this week can at least join the parties. Friday both Katherine Quinn and Chin Ho! are throwing release parties, Quinn for her debut Leaving Decatur and Chin Ho! the ominoussounding Everything You Know is Wrong — their sixth! Their parties are at Burlington Coffeehouse/Rhombus and Toast, respectively, so you can catch them both. (Look for reviews next week.) Quinn is also doing an in-store at Pure Pop Friday 4-6 p.m. Saturday, B.C. hosts another CD release party for the eloquent Vermont/Brooklyn singer-songwriter Michael Veitch. His disc, NYJournal, features turns from Gordon Stone and Unknown Blues guys Lucas Adler, Tony Markellis, Paul Asbell and Chuck Eller. And not to be undone by the locals, Boston songwriter Ellis Paul comes, not exactly with a party, but with a new CD — Translucent Soul— in tow this Sunday, also to the Burlington Coffeehouse. That’s a whole lotta listenin’.

TO LATVIA, WITH LOVE St. Albans singer-songwriter Kate Barkley’s “maternity” has lasted a lot longer than nine months. Turns out her ’97 cassette release, Maternity Sessions, made its way from a deejay fan in Los Angeles to a radio station in Latvia. Barkley then received a dense, single spaced letter from DJ Eddie LavrinOViCS requesting more of her music, due to the financial and other difficulties involved in getting European and American recordings in his country — as a rule, record companies are not sending promotional copies, apparently, over there. Lavrinovics, who hosts a show of “mostly folk, roots, world music and related rock material,” explains how a network of “freelance” deejays with their own personal record collections supply most of the tunage on the Latvian airwaves. So I have an idea: All you people who’ve made CDs, vinyl or cassettes and still have secret stashes of them in the basement: Send ’em back to the former U.S.S.R. “Pop star in Latvia” wouldn’t look so bad on the resume.

WARP SPEED The ubiquitous Burlington musician/cartoonist James Kochalka Superstar made the cover of Warp magazine’s December issue — well, actually, just his name, in between “Company Flow” and “Dope Headphones.” (If you have to ask, you’re not a skate/snowboarder.) Anyway, the write-up inside is positive, I guess, such as this excerpt: “Everyone was just sort of standing around laughing — like you would if you were watching your little cousin pull shit out of his pants at Christmas. The girls weren’t really excit ed, but being a superstar isn’t always about getting all the girls.” Indeed. It’s more a matter of.. .shining.

Sorry...lost the space race . . .

And thanks to Advance for continuing to nurture local talent . . . Listen in on “Burlington & Beyond” (WWPV 88.7) this Friday for In Harm’s Way, won’t hurt a b i t . . . Kudos to Sambatucada, who drummed from bar to bar around downtown Burlington last Friday night, and passed a hat to raise money for victims of Hurricane Mitch (via the Red Cross). The Latin-flavored band drummed up more than $900, which was matched by St. Michael’s College. Sambatucada will perform the same escapade, for the third year in a row, for Very Special Arts Vermont December 1 2 . . .

november 18, 1998 &SM' f i \ ViVv.V”

TRACY TOMASI, WITNESS TREE (self-released CD) — Blessed with a clear, bright soprano, Williston chanteuse Tracy Tomasi has used it to good effect in several local bands, most notably a 10-year stint fronting Blue Rose. But all traces of smoky bar band are gone from this debut solo disc; Tomasi’s original musical vision is just as clear and bright as her voice, and these 13 tunes suggest she’s pretty much an optimist. Left to her own devices — without the need to satisfy the folks on the barstools or lure the vertical ones to the dance floor — Tomasi conjures more idiosyn cratic singer-songwriter fare, though she surrounds herself with sufficient competent accompaniment on Witness Tree to create a full-band sound. Musical partner in song writing, and the primary musician here, on keyboards, gui tar and percussion, is Peter Wilder, who also co-produced at Tune Factory. Kudos to Gordon Stone and Chip Wilson for guest spots on pedal steel and slide guitar, respectively, and to the beauteous back-up chorus — Becky Canedy, Catherine Sargent and Pat Webster — on “When the Spirit Moves Me.” But I’m especially fond of the sweet violin lay ering of Peter Fairbanks Miller, who lends melancholy grace to my favorite tune, “Lucy’s Dress,” a pretty melody with allusions to a mother’s mysterious past. The slower “Laughing and Intrigue,” is a lovely, lacy ballad with a fine arrangement balanced by bass synth, sparkly high-end piano and gentle percussion. The piano- and conga-driven “Point to Point” give spare dressing to Tomasi’s voice — a nexus between Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie and Holly Near. “Chill” has the most potential to rock, but that does n’t seem to be Tomasi’s goal; the acoustic guitar, syncopa tion and a spoken bridge keep it civilized. The Caribbeanflavored “Me ’n’ God” might be a clue to another influence on Witness Tree, though there’s thankfully no moralizing. I’m not crazy about Tomasi’s occasional tendency to talk sing, such as in the hokey “Get to Know Me,” but she makes up for it with a warm embrace of a song like the evocative “Waiting for a Train” or the title track. Okay, I like the sadder stuff best, dunno why. Except for the closer, “Walls,” a piano-happy rag with 1920s swing and sassy lyrics. I could bear witness to more of that. — Pamela Polston

UNCOMMON TONGUE, FOLLOWING A DREAM (selfreleased CD) — Lively rhythms, a memorable hook and noodly acoustic guitarwork on the opener, “Good Love,” suggest that jam fans would find much to love about Uncommon Tongue, which is basically the project of songwriter/vocalist/acoustic guitarist Jayson Argento with the help of lead guitarist Jeff Turner, bassist Mark Plasse, Jason Corbiere on percussion, Steve Boothby on keyboard, and Drew Devine on d’jembe and conga. But the lion’s share of Following a Dream selects songs ci la carte from the menu of rock staples, dispelling the “groove” niche. Argento is blessed with strong and appealing vocals, but unfortunately not with lyrical depth, at least not yet in his young life. His sentimental streak is a mile wide, and the fare on Following a Dream (the title alone evinces Argento’s earnestness) is sincere but sadly sappy — especially the title cut, which tries very hard for that brass ring. The uptempo “One of Two” comes much closer, and offers up another memorable hook, excellent harmonies and rousing piano from Boothby. “Thanks For This Song” teases with a spooky syncopated feel, but is marred by an overwrought guitar solo and sloppy arranging. Argento’s voice holds up to both ballads and harder-edged stuff; it would be nice to hear it wrapped around headier language. Recorded at Low Tech, Following a Dream is tersely but warmly pro duced, though it suffers from a somewhat tinny snare and over-bright electric guitar. The overall sound coalesces, however, on wailing rockers like “Carpe Diem” and “There We Are,” and is dramatically splendid on the voice-and-piano “I Am Sorry.” Following a Dream holds promise for Uncommon Tongue, though as yet they are not quite uncommon enough. ® * — Pamela Polston

Can’t Buy Me Love? '

>.* -

Three plays mine the subject of wealth — with unequal results B y E rik E sckilsen f you’re one of those brave but slightly naive souls mak ing the annual resolution to have a holly-jolly-but-less-materialistic Christmas this year, you’ll find comfort in a trio of local productions: The University of Vermont Theater Department, Lyric Theatre and Champlain College have all mounted plays touting a good will towards men and women that transcends material wealth. In UVM s staging of A.R. Gurney’s The D ining Room, that message comes through in reverse. That is, we see that affluence is no guarantor of happiness. Using the dining room to symbolize the formal relations among wealthy WASP family members, the play offers a wry, poignant and thoroughly engaging commentary on the fading grandeur o f Americas privileged middle class. Fifty-seven characters from multiple families move in and out of the same room in 18 scenes. In one, a well-appointed father reads the morning paper

'w z tu 'jd ’

fiZin

while his children politely enjoy the pleasure of his company. They labor to sit up straight and behave themselves so that they might soon be invited into the elite circle of those who take meals at the dining room table. In another, an architect advises a psychiatrist to convert the dining room into a home office. Other scenes dramatize birthday parties, holiday gather ings and an array of intense and comical family mini-dramas. That these scenarios are not unique to white Anglo-Saxon Protestants — who can’t claim dominion over the dining room, either — extends the play’s message to such broader themes as family disunity, the waning of family rituals and the respect we do or do not accord previous generations. One of the production’s most memo rable scenes finds a grandfather making his grandson, played by Andrew Turco, explain to him why he should finance his prepschool education. In their brief lunchtime exchange, a family’s past, present and future all pass before our eyes, hitting an emo:x

tional note that rings true. Conceptually speaking, the play is a model of simplicity: A dining room. People walk in. People walk out. The demands that The Dining Room places on actors, though, are great. Six actors each portray nine or 10 characters ranging from chil dren to grandparents. The situ ations they dramatize are like wise diverse in tone and con tent. Under the direction of Peter Jack Tkatch, the cast han dles the material with great sen sitivity, particularly Morgan Foxworth, whose portrayal of the grandfather is riveting. Turco, Vanessa Calagna, Martha Keene, Jeremy Palmer and Kate Zaffis round out the versatile cast. Further complicating mat ters, some scene beginnings and endings overlap. To Tkatch’s credit, the effect is a seamless flow of action that, in some cases, suggests the passage of time. In others, the yielding of one family to another speaks to the commonality of the family experience itself. robably no one who has seen Annie can relate to her family experience. Maybe that’s why there was so much to enjoy in Lyric Theatre’s recent run of the musical favorite, directed by Al Myers. Abby Wheeler played the orphan who lucks into the lap of luxury — and family love, of course — in a produc tion that came off with greater overall consistency than other Lyric shows of late. Quicker scene changes con tributed significantly to this effect. While Lyric productions always feature spectacular sets, they’re sometimes too spectacu lar for their own good, requir ing patience on the audience’s part while stuff gets moved around. Not so this time. Set designer Philip Colteryahn’s first Lyric show easily met the splashy standard — his Times Square nightscape drew applause — but was also mobile enough to be quickly assembled into several intricate scenes. The bridge piling erect ed for the “Hooverville” bit recalled the exaggerated per spectives one might find in the comics — perhaps even in “Little Orphan Annie.” Choreography, traditionally a challenge for local musical productions, was also strong, though best in scenes involving the other orphan girls, not the grown-ups. The “Hard Knock Life” routine was especially inventive and playful while

showcasing the young actors’ knack for working as a unit. The consistency of the Annie cast also gave this pro duction a finer veneer. Wheeler was a confident Annie, both as an actor and when navigating the far-ranging melodies in her repertoire. As the mean orphan marm Miss Hannigan, Syndi Zook was outrageous — in the best sense of the word. A strong singer and superb actor, she brought a touch of villainy to every word and gesture, but humanized the role by never fully concealing her pathetic nature. Leon Fred was an imposing Oliver Warbucks — all starch and press and perfect diction. In his booming voice and forth right manner, he was a credible captain of industry. He was no less convincing as a lonely heart when, later, Annie softened the edges of his Mt. Rushmore demeanor. Though his projec tion was weaker in song than speech, he had the best voice in the cast. he Champlain College Players’ fall production, -Thornton Wilder’s The Matchmaker, isn’t a musical, but it became one — Hello Dolly. That makes the period play something of a departure for Director of Theater Don Rowe and his troupe. Over the ’97-’98 academic year, the Players staged two ambitious and very successful adaptations of James Dean films — East o f Eden and Rebel Without a Cause. In Rebel, Rowe surprised audiences with an innovative technical solution to the movie’s pivotal car crash — the infamous “chickie run.” At the opening of The Matchmaker, Rowe uses clever special effects to establish the play’s time period. As a strobe light flickers, a character carry ing a sign describing the setting goofs around a la Charlie Chaplin in the early days of silent film. The effect then yields to a parlor farce set in late 19th-century Yonkers. The Matchmaker is the story of wealthy merchant Horace Vandergelder. He’s a curmud geonly old widower pursuing a bride while trying to prevent the marriage of his niece to an insufficiently capitalistic artist. So he packs her off to stay with a friend in Manhattan. Meanwhile, two of his oppressed shop clerks decide to take a night off without his consent and head to the Big Apple for a little adventure. Naturally, they choose the same

night for their spree as big bossman has chosen to call on his brightest marital prospect, a Manhattan milliner. Add to this the machinations of one Dolly Gallagher Levi, whom Vandergelder has retained to help him meet his match — but who has her own agenda involving love, money and mar riage — and the stage is set for general hijinks. In other words, The Matchmaker is, by design, devoid of the atmospheric sub tleties that characterize Wilder’s most famous work, Our Town. Paradoxically, The Matchmakers, confectionery nature moves the play into dangerous territory: physical comedy. Although it does get some laughs, Matchmaker misses as often as it hits. Part of the challenge, again, is built into the play. Period pieces often employ stylized mannerisms and language. Fully realized, these features offer an entertaining glimpse at the way things were; in the best works they inspire reflections on the present. Productions that don’t make that mark squarely, however, struggle to bring audiences into the illuso ry world of the play. In The Matchmaker, that illusion is subverted by incon sistency among the actors. As Vandergelder, Kenneth Wade cuts an attractive figure of wellfed wealth, and his tight-fisted bluster is believable. But his character is uncolored by other emotional shades, which, over the long haul, can be exhaust ing to watch. At the other extreme is Janice Gohm Webster as the spinster Flora Van Huysen. Webster has chosen to send up her character’s melodramatic personality, overacting in a pur posefully way and fetching the play’s heartiest laughs in the bargain — a noteworthy strate gy. Brenda Woodbury brings a touch of something real to her portrayal of Dolly, but the effect is diminished in contrast with other performances — some playing it straight, some affecting accents and other styl ized manners. As we saw last year, Rowe and his company are capable of great things, even working against all odds — whether challenged to dramatizing effects conceived for the big screen or just staging quality plays in a theater without wings or proper backstage. In the mannered world of period the ater, they have at last met their match. ®

herself, speaking in a phone interview last week, is reluctant to define femininity. handralekha is most cer “Its not a definition,” she tainly not the first chore“Its very deep work. One ___ ographer to thinksays. o f the needs to see the layering of body as “curvative” rather than femininity in all our bodies, rigid; indeed, much o f the his tory of dance is an enumeration of the ways the human body can shape itself in space. But this 68-year-old silver-haired choreographer from Madras, India — who, like Madonna or Cher in this hemisphere, goes by a single name — defines “curvature as sensuality, spiritu ality, everything coming together. Rigid lines make . compartments of everything,” she says. To Western observers famil iar with the human pretzelness called yoga, and with the exot ic, vivid, tumult of sensuality and spirituality that is India itself, Chandralekhas statement makes perfect sense. And yet in her country she has always been controversial, a maverick against the tide of traditions so ancient they make American dance standards seem embry'*■ ^onic. She has been called the “Isadora Duncan of Indian dance” by critics anxious to find Western counterparts of equally epochal stature. When she brings her com pany of eight dancers, accom panied by live Indian music, to the Flynn next Tuesday, she will give shape to another, per haps universal, arena of contro versy: gender. But don’t expect “Raga: In Search of Femininity” to posit Western, Mars-and-Venus-type state ments about the sexes, nor to flount latter-day feminism, Sanskrit-style. Chandralekha

body may be 51 per cent woman, 49 per cent male —or vice versa. “At one level the male femaleness of our body is constant,” she explains, “but what happens is psychological and social layerings across time and different stages of society. They’re so imbedded in the body. A man has to be a man, is what a child hears from very young. Femininity is harder to define, but you can understand it better by the lack of it — it’s dif ficult to define civiliza tion but you can define barbarity.” Chandralekha may not mean to equate the masculine with barbarity, but she

makes no bones about her dis taste for the essentially male drive for control over the world and other human beings. And she will go so far as to declare that the feminine is “deep, mys tical, mysterious.” But how does she translate all this into dance? That, too, is mysterious. Suffice it to say that through a magnificent blend of traditional Indian dance forms like the Bharata Natyam, mar tial arts like Kalari, the disci pline of yoga and contemporary Western borrowings, Chand ralekha creates a performance that has earned superlatives like “moving, explosive, exquisite, meditative, powerful.” “Raga” is a visual flow, too, of color and passion, almost lit erally illuminating the search for balance between masculine and feminine. While in Western choreography dancers have been taught to center them selves from the belly — the

Chandralekha, born into a liberal family that encouraged her independent vision, was a dancer of some renown in the 1950s and ’60s. She took a selfimposed hiatus from dance for some years before returning in 1984. Her work since then has reflected her belief in “a kind of politics that should be equal with aesthetics.” The Indian genius, she declared in a Boston Globe interview last year, is “in interlinking, not compartmentalization.” In India, though, the move ment away from traditional roles for men and women is a slow one. Chandralekhas con tribution to the on-going con versation is essentially to search for the feminine everywhere. “I never talk about maleness with in females, only femininity within the bodies of everyone,” she says. In some ways hers is the opposite approach to the feminist movement of the West,

She has been called the “Isadora Duncan of Indian dance” by critics anxious to find Western counterparts of equally epochal stature. “gut,” perhaps, being a fulcrum for both physical and emotional balance — Chandralekha .again goes deeper. Exploring the Indian concept of chakras, or energy centers, her dancers’ resulting movement is a study in fluidity and what can only be called spiritual eroticism.

which has striven to prove women the equals of men. “Raga: In Search of Femininity” may then offer a subtly subver sive view of gender conscious ness — an ironic Eastern gift to the West. “We see the body as a mandala,” Chandralekha says, “a walking model of the universe.” ®

four by three). Nowadays most films are shot in wider formats, and adapting them for the profitable video market can entail a number of strategems, some quite creative, some pretty kloodgy. Despite promised advances in TV technology, I’m betting the problem ain’t going away, because of competing economic inter ests. But more on this in a mo. First some history. Prior to 1953 all movies were shot in 1.33:1, and the infant TV industry adopted the same format. But for just that reason movie moguls decided they needed a different format to parry the per ceived threat from the tube. They came up with two answers: 3-D, which was seldom more than a gimmick, and wide-screen projection, which became the industry standard. A variety of wide-screen formats were intro duced, the most ambitious of which, Cinerama (2.62:1), required three projectors and a curved screen. That was too expensive for routine use, so most studios making “spectaculars” adopted processes variously known as CinemaScope, Techniscope, Panavision, etc. These required a 2.35:1 screen and special anamorphic lenses that squeezed the wide image onto standard 35-millime ter film stock and then expanded it back to full width when projected. Dear Cecil, Theater owners soon hit on an even easier way to When I watch a movie on television or videotape, there create wide-screen movies. They used a special plate in is sometimes a statement that this movie has been formatted their projectors to mask the top and bottom of the to fit my screen. My question is, how do they know what image, then projected what was left on a wider screen. size my screen isf Voila, instant spectacular! Two formats were widely used — JHahnUSNR, via AOL — 1.66:1, now used for most western European films, and 1.85:1, which became the U.S. standard. (The stan They don’t know, chum. They don’t have to know. dard for 70-millimeter movies is 2.21:1.) But they know the proportions of your screen, which are There’s only one problem: creating wide-screen the same for all North American TVs, namely 1.33:1 (or movies by chopping off the top and bottom of the pic

'Straight

ture sometimes cuts out important parts of the scene. So movie directors and cinematographers compensate by continuing to shoot most movies in 1.33:1, but com posing scenes so that the important stuff will fit in a 1.85:1 or 1.66:1 frame when projected. (Lines scribed on the camera viewfinder aid in this.) This process has gotten so casual that studios sometimes release finished films with boom microphones, cables, etc., visible at the top and bottom of some scenes, confident that the the aters will cut the crap when they project. So your movie has had its theatrical run, and now you’re releasing it on video. What do you do? You could ship it out in the original 1.33:1 format, taking the risk that extraneous items would sometimes be visible. You could “letterbox” it, reducing the width so it fits the TV screen, with black bars above and below the frame. Often the best choice (though one that offends cinephiles) is what’s known as “pan and scan,” a lab process in which the copy camera moves around within the frame, allowing you to adjust what shows up on the TV screen on a scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame basis. Let’s take a dialogue close-up in which the actors are at the far right and left of an 1.85:1 frame. If you ran the shot at the original 1.33:1 (assuming this were even an option) you’d lose the close crop and thus some of the scene’s intimacy and intensity. So instead, lab magicians cut or pan back and forth between the two actors. Only one appears in the frame at a time, but if you do it right you retain the impact of the theatrical release. That’s the mark of the unsung geniuses at the lower echelons of the movie business — to do the job so skillfully that nobody knows. (7) — CECIL ADAMS
