BED FOR IBM? One sympathizes with IBM over the size of its electric bills. Even 30 years ago, Green Mountain Power’s rates were unconscionably high. We in Burlington, of course, smugly enjoy the state’s lowest rates. In fact, considering how mobile a commodity electricity is, an idea occurs to me that Peter Freyne should have thought of [“Inside Track”, Nov. 5]: Why doesn’t Burlington Electric provide IBM’s power? So, we would need a charter change here, and a legislative and regulatory revolution at state level. But almost everyone would benefit; IBM, notably, and Burlingtonians, perhaps (or don’t costs drop, any more, when a customer base expands?), and GMP’s remaining customers, too, might see lower rates (if GMP wanted to stay in business,-, it would have to restructure itself drastically). Peter Freyne, though, has official dom’s ear, where a crank letter-writer is forgotten... by Friday. If Peter wants to take up the idea, I’ll let him take most of the credit.

FACTS, PLEASE How fatuous. Mr. Picard, like all redeemers of our social and physical lives, spouts hyperbolic nonsense without embarrassment. Picard states [“Local Matters,” October 22] that a “non-smoker will die from second hand smoke in the same time it takes to read his column. That is, someone dies every three minutes from secondhand smoke. One won ders where the scientific basis for this is to be found? Mr. Picard then goes on to quote a musician, Colin McCaffrey: “I had

instant laryngitis and a lung infec tion” from playing “five hours in smoke-filled bars.” It is highly unlikely that Mr. McCaffrey contracted laryngitis or an upper respiratory infection from sec ondhand smoke, albeit smoke might have aggravated a pre-condition ail ment, it is not the cause. Mr. McCaf frey also indicates that he would like to play in the tobacco-free pubs of Europe. Obviously Mr. McCaffrey has not been to Europe, where the pubs and restaurants are smoke-filled. However, no one is forced to

work in a bar or night club. Recent research by the same sci entific community that studies smoke-related health indicators found that secondhand smoke affects only 2 percent of the population: infants, bronchial asthma sufferers and those with upper respiratory infections. That is not to say that a smokefree environment isn’t better — healthier and less noxious — but please, let’s base it on facts.

HELPING KIDS Late in August, you published an article entitled “Fixing Troubled Kids” [August 27]. Your story was of great interest. I have the highest regard for children, youth and fami lies who struggle with various kinds of emotional/behavioral/substanceabuse challenges. There were several important omissions from your article. It is important for the community to know that there are supports and services available in Vermont when coping with these kinds of chal lenges. When trying to figure out what to do, seek help from a parent-support organization. The Vermont Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health exists to support fam ilies with a child showing signs of an emotional or mental-health chal lenge. They can be reached through a statewide number (800-639-6480). The Vermont Parent Information Center provides similar support, most often focused on Special Education advocacy. Their phone number is 658-5315. Vermont Law (Act 264) entitles children and youth with a “serious emotional disturbance” to a “coordi nated services plan” involving mental health, education and, where appro priate, SRS. Although there are funding limits, many families are able to receive comprehensive servic es through an interagency approach to service delivery. Services can be sought through any of the three enti ties. In Chittenden County, if you

are seeking mental-health services for your child, call Intake at the Baird Center for Children and Families at 863-1326. Vermont’s system seeks to sup port children and youth close to home, school and community. Although specialized programs far from home are occasionally helpful for particular children, most kids do best over the long run when they can continue to be embraced by their family and local support network. We encourage families to fully explore the in-state system of care before seeking out-of-state resources. Ideally, funding for services should be shared between human services and education. Many pro grams are funded with help from Medicaid. Many children and youth with very high needs can become eli gible for Medicaid funding, regard less of family income. The local system of care includes many options provided through vari ous agencies. Crisis services are pro vided through First Call for Child ren and Families (call 864-7777). Other services include a range of therapists, a range of in-home servic es, various educational alternatives and residential care. Thank you for publishing this letter as a service to children, youth and families. ' '

It H as H a p p e n e d H ere elevision brings countless frightening images into the living room, but none was more chilling than that of cops with police dogs and guns drawn, terrifying kids in the hallway of a South Carolina High School on November 5. Students that didn’t line up against the wall fast enough were thrown to the floor and handcuffed. The principal had called the cops after getting reports of illegal drug activity, specifically marijuana. The massive police drug raid failed, however, to turn up any pot. Not a single seed. A few days later, when a caller to a Vermont talk show mentioned the Gestapostyle high school drug raid, the host was quick to point out it happened in South Carolina, not Vermont! But guess what, folks? It has happened here. Seven Days has learned that school offi cials and police conducted a drug raid at the Colchester Middle School on November 6, the day after the controversial raid in South Carolina. Lockers were searched, as were individual students. And a German Shepherd sniffed the joint searching for a whiff o f illegal marijuana. According to Principal John Barone, about two ounces of marijuana were found behind a tile in the ceiling of the boys’ bathroom. Three boys were suspended. They were scheduled to appear in executive session before the Colchester School Board Monday night. After finding the pot, Barone said a snif fer dog named Kilo was brought in to sniff lockers. No additional pot was discovered, said Barone. The matter was brought to our attention last week by a hard-hat construction laborer on Hospital Hill. The 31-year-old single mom was upset because she believed school officials were picking on her 12-year-old son, a seventh-grader. Were withholding her identity to protect the privacy of her child, who’s getting quite the education in what it means to have no constitutional rights. Lets just call her Rosie the Riveter. According to Rosie, her son was taken to the principal’s office the Monday after the raid and suspended for alleged insubordina tion. In the process his clothing was thor oughly searched. Then the school nurse, Melissa Goldberg, examined the boy in a locked room, said Rosie. She shined a flash light in his eyes, nose and mouth and asked if he had “shot, snorted or smoked any thing.” W hen he asked to call his mom, he was told by Assistant Principal Karen Gockley they-just wanted “a quick check.” The boy told Seven Days that he was “frightened” and “didn’t know what was going on.” He also told us the nurse asked if he could pass a urinalysis drug test. He told her he could. The assistant principal, he said, also told him he ought to stop wearing those baggy clothes. “Ms. Gockley always tells us how it’s not a ghetto school and stuff. She told us, like, to change how we dress.” In fact, when his mother later called Gockley, she was told she should change the

F r id a y

Sfarlme

way her son dressed because, “when drugs were found they were often on kids with the baggy-style clothes.” When she asked what “reasonable suspi cion” they had to search her son, Rosie said she was told the boy had been seen with another child who looked to be under the influence of drugs. It turned out, said Rosie, that kid was on prescription drugs for an ear problem. “I feel he was violated,” said Rosie. “It’s not right to do that to a 12-year-old, espe cially when he wants his mother. I’d be scared if I was 12.” No evidence of drugs or drug use was found, but the-boy’s two-day suspension stood. Welcome to middle school in Vermont, folks — the new front line in the totally failed War on Drugs. And you thought kids had constitutional rights? Civil liberties? Think again. One veteran criminal lawyer put it this way: “In America today there are three places where you have no rights. One is at the border. One is in prison. And the other one is in school.” The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1985 that school officials, not police, may search students without a warrant if they have “reasonable grounds” to suspect the search will turn up evidence of a ,crime or violation of school rules. Principal Barone told Seven Days he received a “tip” that morning “that there was marijuana being distributed in school.” Based on that intelligence, he searched stu dent lockers and individual students. No pot was found in those searches, he report ed. Mr. Barone then received another tip that led to the discovery of two bags of grass in the boys’ bathroom ceiling. More students came forward, said Barone. They told him there were more drugs in the school but “they couldn’t elab orate.” At that point, the decision was made to bring in the Colchester Police and Kilo. Barone said that when Kilo “hit” on a possible drug location, Officer Jeff Fontaine would stand back and let Barone or Gockley conduct the search. No drugs, however, were found as a result of the K-9 unit’s help. Colchester Middle School has 605 stu dents. It is the largest middle school in Chittenden County. Both Barone and Gockley are in their first year at the school. Previously they worked in Essex Junction. “W hen we were hired,” said Barone, “it was made clear to us that student manage ment had been lax.” He said the school board wanted us “to tighten things up.” Sounds like the kids in Colchester are getting quite a lesson in citizenship, eh?

C u r s e s , F o i l e d A g a i n A man threw a paper bag on the counter of a video store in Greensboro, North Carolina, and pointed what looked like a 9mm handgun at manager Ron Simpson, but Simpson said he was “95 percent sure” the muzzle was too small for a bul let. “That is not a real gun,” Simpson said he told the robber while pulling his own .25-caliber Derringer from his jeans pocket. “This is a real gun.” The robber pulled a rack of gummy bears in front of him for protection, “like that’s going to stop the bullet,” Simpson said, noting that after he picked up the phone and called the police, the man fled.

C an Y ou H e a r M e N ow ? Thousands of New York commuters were delayed and several trains rerouted while rescue workers tried to free a man’s arm from the toilet of a suburban commuter train. Metro-North Railroad’s Dan Brucker said that Edwin Gallart, 41, of the Bronx got stuck when he dropped his cell phone in the toilet and tried to fish it out. Passengers heard his cries for help and alerted train workers, who were unable to pry Gallart from the metal toi let. Finally, police and firefighters arrived with “jaws of life” equipment and a blowtorch to cut it apart, Brucker said, noting that the rescue operation took 90

The phone wasn’t retrieved. • Police in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, said that Bethaney Lawton, 20, of Abingdon, Massachusetts, died driving home while talking on her cell phone with her friend Jessica Poor when her car plowed through the front of a Cingular Wireless store. “Jessica heard a loud crash,” Officer Daniel Desmond said, “and the cell phone went dead.” • In Randolph, Massachusetts, police reported that a 37-year-old man was stabbed at a movie theater showing House o f the Dead after he put his feet on the back of a mans chair because the man wouldn’t put his cell phone away when asked. Lt. Richard Crowley said that the cell phone user, Jose Pujols, 27, “pulled out a knife, turned around and stabbed him in the foot.” Crowley added: “You have to

obey movie house etiquette: Turn off your phone and don’t put your feet up.” W a y tO G o Gwenda Alice Whyte, 81, died in New Zealand’s Nelson Hospital after being thrown from a homemade cable car that she used to get her mail and milk at the front gate when it broke loose and plummeted down her accessway onto the road. Stoke Police Sgt. Brian Wood said the wooden cable car, which had been used “30 years or more,” had no seatbelts or restraints. Govern ment officials explained that they had no authority to enforce safety standards when cable cars are built on private property. C a n i n e G a m e s German prosecutors decided not to prosecute a man for teach ing his dog Adolf to raise its paw in a Hitler salute, but they said the 54-yearold man, identified as Roland T., still faces up to three years in prison for wear ing a T-shirt with Hitler’s picture and shouting “Heil Hitler!” on a busy street. • A toy dog that farts alerted screeners at the Norfolk, Virginia, airport when sensi tive monitoring equipment registered the toy’s wind-breaking mechanism as a high explosive. The mechanical terrier’s owner, British designer Dave Rogerson, 31, said that FBI agents questioned him and took a series of swabs from the life-sized toy’s rear end. “They were very jumpy,” he noted, “and convinced there was some thing explosive in the dog.”

Your Money or Your Life A new book that analyzes terrorism in economic, rather than political, terms declares that

the business of terrorism has grown so large and the financial networks support ing it so complex that if the flow of money to terrorists were suddenly cut off, the drop in liquidity could seriously affect the Western economies. Modern Jihad: Tracing the Dollars Behind the Terror Networks, puts the value of the “new economy of terror” at about $1.5 trillion, or roughly 5 percent of the world’s gross domestic product. The author, Italian writer Loretta Napoleoni, told Newsweek that this figure “includes illegal activities like arms dealing and money laundering and legal activities like charity donations, because even if the money arrives legally, it is then used ille gally.” Napoleoni traces today’s terrorism to state-sponsored terrorism by the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. As a result, she said, the ter rorists “know our system inside out.” • The Defense Department reported that U.S. troops sent to attack Iraq spent their own money to buy better equipment than the military issued them. “There were a lot of reports that prior to the war, people would go out and buy their own gear,” defense analyst Patrick Garrett said. Among the upgrades cited by the Pentagon’s draft report, “Operation Iraqi Freedom Lessons Learned,” were better field radios, extra ammunition carriers and commercial backpacks to replace standard-issue but undersized rucksacks. One Marine, Sgt. Mike Corcoran, asked his parents for and received $2,000 night-vision goggles, a global positioning system and a short-wave radio, which was used to intercept enemy transmissions. © -rj-

The Plot Thickens...

s the numher of American casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan continues to rise — and it’s easy to forget that U.S. soldiers are still dying in Afghanistan, too — one conse quence has been to keep veterans’ issues in the spotlight well past Veterans’ Day. While the Bush administration has tried to conceal the uglier side of this conflict by renaming body bags “transfer tubes” and imposing a news blackout on images of flag-draped coffins arriving home at U.S. air bases, the human price of this war is being revealed. Just last week, for example, I passed a car in Burlington with a bumper sticker that read, “Sgt. Justin W. Garvey, killed in action 7/20/03, Tallifar, Iraq.” Garvey, a 1998 graduate of Proctor High School, was in the 101st Airborne Division in northern Iraq when his patrol vehicle was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. Twenty-threeyear-old Garvey was buried at Cedar Grove Cemetery in Fair Haven.

The truth is that embalming fluid poses a greater threat to public health than a I buried, decomposing body. As a serviceman who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, Garvey was eligible to be buried in the Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery in Randolph Center, the only gov ernment-owned military cemetery in Vermont. Except, that is, if he had been an observant Jew or Muslim. The vets’ cemetery, which is owned by the state and operated by the Office of Veterans’ Affairs in Montpelier, requires that every body buried there be embalmed — a practice that violates the rules of both the Jewish and Muslim religions. If this embalming requirement seems bizarre, not to mention discriminatory, don’t blame the VA or the military. The National Cemetery Administration, which oversees state and national veterans’ ceme teries, did not impose this restriction, nor does the U.S. military routinely embalm its dead. This mandate was part of the ceme tery’s Act 250 permit. Apparently, when the 110-acre cemetery was created in 1991, its land-use permit included the following provision, added at the request o f the Vermont Health Department: “The permittee shall protect the Randolph Center Fire District Wellhead Protection Area by complying with the appropriate Department o f Health Regulations. All corpses shall be embalmed, placed in caskets, and in sealed concrete structures. All burials shall take place above the seasonal high water table.” Julie Schmitz, who heads the District III Environmental Commission overseeing Randolph Center, says she wasn’t in her cur rent job 12 years ago when this provision was adopted, and is as surprised as anyone that the state would try to protect groundwater this way. “I would think that they wouldn’t want [embalming fluid] in the water system,” Schmitz says. “I wonder how much o f this comes from old wives’ tales?”

P: 8 0 2 - 8 6 4 - 9 2 2 0

Indeed. For centuries people have believed, largely without basis, that buried bodies spread disease to the living. The truth is that embalming fluid poses a greater threat to public health than a buried, decomposing body. Injected into the arteries and body cavities to preserve a corpse, it is mostly formaldehyde, a toxic chemical and known carcinogen. Upwards of 90 percent of the bodies buried in the United States and Canada are full of it. The average corpse contains about 3.5 gallons of embalming fluid. As a result, an estimated 827,000 gallons of the stuff get buried in the United States each year, according to data from the Society of Environmental Journalists. At this rate, the Randolph cemetery, which is the final resting place for more than 850 Vermont veterans, has dumped about 3000 gallons of formaldehyde into the earth. If a funeral home poured that much embalming fluid into its septic sys tem, it would probably be cited for groundwater contamination. Ironically, the cemetery’s Act 250 permit also includes a provision that reads, “The use of pesticides and herbicides shall be kept to a minimum.” In other words, if you want a loved one buried in Vermont’s only veterans’ cemetery, you have to pollute the body with toxic waste. Just don’t spray too much weed killer on the grave when spring rolls around. Embalming isn’t cheap, either. According to the Funeral Consumers Alliance, an industry watchdog group based in South Burlington, the procedure adds about $300 to $500 to the price of a funeral in Vermont, with some mortuaries charging as much as $900. Moreover, it’s not required by either state or federal law, and its elimi nation poses no threat to public health. It’s impossible to tell how many Vermont veterans and/or their spouses have been buried somewhere other than Randolph Center because of this pointless require ment. Ed Burkart, who has been the ceme tery supervisor for the last year, says he has n’t received any complaints thus far. However, one Navy veteran, who now lives in upstate New York and asked to remain anonymous, told Seven Days that she wanted to be buried in her home state of Vermont — until she learned of the embalming requirement. “W hat’s the point of spending lots of money that just adds toxic waste to the environment?” she asks. “To me, it sounds like a scam.” And the Burlington daughter of an Air Force veteran who survived being shot down twice during World War II says her dad cannot be buried in the Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery because he is Jewish. Since May 1, there have been 119 burials in the Randolph Center cemetery, mosdy vet erans from World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Perhaps by next Memorial Day, Vermont will have righted this grave wrong done to its vet erans and allow them all to receive the honor and dignity they’ve earned. ®

M e ‘n ’ Teddy

s I watched the train conductor unload a series of overflowing, well-worn canvas bags, I thought to myself, Could it be? A moment later I got my answer as a diminutive older man emerged from the train and our eyes met. Teddy is one of my favorite regular customers — if you can call a person I drive three or four times a year a “regular.” His destination is Middlebury, which is a long haul, and we like each other. I think for these reasons Teddy is a bona fide regular in the Hackie pantheon. “Teddy, how you doin’, brother?” I asked as I began to gather up his endless collec-

tion of belongings. He dislikes parting with w any object that passes through his world — from this morning’s Styrofoam coffee cup to last Tuesday’s USA Today. Such a lifestyle, you can well imagine, necessitates a small army of duffle bags when you hit the road for a few weeks. “Oh, just fine, yup, just fine. How are you?” Teddy’s eyes are warm, moist and dark, and when he smiles at you the crin kles are off the chart. W ith his slightly hunched posture -— I think he’s in his sev enties by now — and softly melodious yet gravelly speech, he suggests a composite of Yoda from Star Wars and Gollum from the Lord o f the Rings trilogy. I might want to throw Danny DeVito into the mix, now that I think about it, because he’s also got an East Coast, streetwise quality beneath the charm. We squeezed all the bags into the trunk, and Teddy settled into the front seat for the long ride south. “So, tell me,” I asked, “How’s the team doing this year?” “Well, they play in the spring, you know that?” “Actually, I didn’t. Lacrosse is a spring sport, huh? Makes sense I guess. So how’d they do this past spring?” “Another wonderful year, yup. We went 17-2 for the regular season. Didn’t win the tournament, unfortunately. T hat’s after winning the national championship the previous three seasons, so it was a bit of a letdown. Great group of boys, though.” Teddy’s been associated with Middlebury College sports for many years. Though I’ve asked, I’m still unsure o f his status with the program. He might be a designated trainer or manager, something like that. Whatever his position, official or otherwise, I gather that he serves as an inspirational figure, especially to the lacrosse team. At the start of each new season, for example, the “boys” gather around and Teddy gives a speech. We puttered down Route 7 in a steady

rain. Despite the poor driving conditions, I actually could have been going a little faster, but was dogging it to maximize my Teddy time. As we passed the Vergennes turn-off for Route 22A, Teddy turned to me with a wry smile and said, “You’re a Red Sox fan, right?” “That I am,” I replied, “and may God have mercy on my soul. This year was another heart-breaker, that’s for sure.” Teddy nodded his head sympathetically and said, “It reminded me of the AthleticsCubs World Series of 1929. Boy, those poor Cubbies. In the fourth game they blew an eight-run lead in the seventh inning and, of course, went on to lose the Series. There’s some serious heartache around that fran chise, too.” “Ted, I know you’re a big sports guy, but how the heck do you know about these games going back to 1929? I gotta tell you, I’m impressed.” We eased down the winding road into Middlebury and took the usual stop at Cumby’s, where Teddy loaded up on gro ceries. He’s the only person I’ve seen do reg ular “supermarket shopping” at a conven ience store. It’s an expensive yet surprisingly relaxing way to food shop. Teddy’s apartment is on the second floor of a multi-family house. W hen we pulled in front, I began unloading his many bags and stacking them by the door while he fished around for the key. It was taking too long, and finally he said, “Sorry, but I just don’t know what I’ve done with the key. There’s a ladder around the back and I can get in through the window.” “Forget that Teddy, let me do it.” “All right,” he said. “I’ll hold the ladder.” In the misty rain, we walked around to the back of the house, stepping gingerly over the slick, matted leaves. Teddy held the ladder, which looked as if it had been con structed in 1929. No spring chicken myself, I carefully inched my way up the wobbly rungs, slid open the wfndow and plopped into Teddy’s bedroom. Not surprisingly, there was stuff every where, boxes upon boxes. But amidst all the clutter, the place had a warm, cozy feeling. It felt like I had landed in the Shire, where the Hobbits live. I was kind of hoping Ted would invite me to stay for dinner. I could see us eating steamy platters of mutton and thick slabs of black bread. After the meal, we’d settle into comfy chairs before a fire and drink from big mugs of sweet tea while puffing on long-stemmed pipes. Oh, the stories we’d tell! My fantasy was interrupted by Teddy knocking and calling for me. I unlocked the door and carried in all his bags. He then paid the fare with his usual generous tip and said, “It was a pleasure being with you.” I looked into his twinkling eyes and replied, “The pleasure’s all mine, Teddy. I mean it.” (Z)

Dear Cecil, I am far from being the worlds biggest sucker when it comes to advertising gimmicks, but I find myselfsuccumbing to the leg end “cage-free”on packages of eggs. These eggs cost at least a buck more per dozen than regular eggs. I tell myselfthat cagefree chickens are probably no better off than their sisters kept in cages (probably they’rejust packed tighter into larger pens), but part o f my brain says, “ for a buck, you can always hope. ”It’s really not the extra money that bothers me; it’s the nagging sus picion that I ’m falling victim to some marketing wonk’s master plan. Help me, Cecil. Are cage-free chickens happier chickens? — Jean Tillson Franklin, Massachusetts A trip to the grocery store used to be a trip to the grocery store. Now it’s a minefield of moral dilemmas. In re chick ens, a blogger named Joseph Haines has framed the ques tion thusly: All chickens, including laying hens, eventually get the ax. W hich o f the following do you want on your plate? (1) A caged chicken who, after a life o f misery, hears the blade whistling down and thinks: Free at last, or (2) A cagefree chicken whose final thought, after an existence of ease and comfort, is: O oh, bummer. You see,the problem. Even in the case of egg-producing chickens, in the final analysis were talking about eating the flesh o f our fellow creatures — and before we kill them we like to breakfast on their potential progeny. We don’t really get off the hook, ethically speaking, by being nice to our victims. But you like eggs. You’re willing to settle if they’re pro duced with a minimum o f suffering. (For simplicity, we’ll confine this discussion to ethical considerations — I haven’t seen any persuasive evidence that eggs laid by uncaged chickens are healthier or tastier on average than the other kind.) Labeling terminology isn’t much help. A rundown: • Cage-free. No legal meaning, but some egg farmers think the term is less misleading than “free range” (see

below), which suggests happy hens pecking for grubs in the barnyard. If the barnyard is in Minnesota and it’s January, that ain’t gonna happen. • Free-range, free-roaming. Here’s the U.S. Department of Agriculture definition of these terms in its entirety: “Producers must demonstrate to the Agency that the poul try has been allowed access to the outside.” In other words, there has to be a door, and it has to be open at least part of the time. The chickens don’t necessarily have.to take advan tage, and they often don’t. UK researchers studying com mercial poultry farms say only 15 percent of chickens who have the opportunity ever leave the henhouse. The secret, they say, is to plant shade trees in the barnyard, under which the chickens can shelter. (Supposedly this reminds them o f their ancestral forests. Whatever;) Others sSy let’s not make this too complicated — if you want the chickens to go outside the henhouse, put their food outside the henhouse. N ot that “outside” is necessarily any Garden of Eden. In January 2003 Consumer Reports noted, “W hen we visited one free-range chicken farm a few years ago, we found a penned, 10x30-foot patch o f dirt topped with chicken manure and grass.” The USDA hasn’t established criteria for the size of the “range” or the amount of space per bird, so things can get nearly as crowded out side as inside. Free-range chickens are typically debeaked, just like the caged kind, and the males are killed as chicks, since they don’t lay eggs. • Free-farmed. This term, which has been trademarked by the American Humane Association, means that a farm complies with AHA standards to ensure that its animals are free o f hunger, unnecessary fear and pain, etc. Earning the “free-farmed” label involves an initial inspection and annual recertification. It’s the most rigorous program I’ve heard of, but unless you visit the farms yourself, you’re still basically taking things on faith. That brings me to my main point. Whatever else may be said for the organic farming movement, it has saved a lot of small producers who otherwise would’ve been forced to the wall by big commercial operations and their economies of scale. The more technologically savvy mom-and-pop outfits have Web sites complete with photos of happy chickens frolicking in the sunshine. Sure, nothing prevents these folks from lying. Nothing prevents your mom from lying, either. The fact is that the Internet enables consumers to have a more direct relation ship with the producers of their morning eggs than they’ve had at any time since grandpa left the farm.-If you’re all that concerned about chicken welfare — and if you want more than the assurances on the egg carton to go on — you might as well take advantage.

Talkin’ Turkey

W E B L IN K S

turkey is a dangerous animal. T he tryptophan in its meat can make you terri bly drowsy. If mishandled, this same sleep-inducing flesh can make you awful ly sick. As if the turkey weren’t terrifying enough, the entire dinner is tanta m ount to a small siege in the kitchen. W ith millions o f Americans preparing to wage this culinary battle, we naturally enough turn to the Web to help us — though we are bound to discover more frightening things, and that’s even before family descends. O n the pulse o f risk, Security W orld apparently views one’s entire existence as a series o f potential hazards that only the most vigilant can guard against. M any warnings lurk inside the Turkey Safety section. D on’t defrost that bird in the microwave until you read the manufacturer’s instructions! D on’t cook that

bird in the microwave until similarly armed! Wash every single thing, your self included, with hot soapy water after the raw meat has touched it! D on’t undercook! D on’t overcook! D on’t p u t the meat in a paper bag! The USDA also puts out a full slate o f warnings, albeit less hysterical, reminding that defrosting should be done in the refrigerator, the bird shouldn’t be stuffed days — or even hours — before cooking, and that leaving it out on the counter overnight is a great way to get to know the bath room floor the next day. They’re absolutely right about all of this, o f course, and with such righteous worries, it’s amazing anyone cooks the damned bird at all. O ne is indeed less inclined toward eating the poor fowl after visiting the United States Humane Society’s site, where horrible factoryfarmed facts are found — in which case the meatless main courses published on Moosewood Cookbook author Mollie Katzen’s site should do just swell. Turkey or not, every T-Day veteran knows that preparation is key to sur m ounting the massive meal. M any Web sites offer daily countdown plan

ners, M artha Stewart o f course being the beaming doyenne. Like other cagey home cooks, Stewart leaves just a few steps out to ensure that your holiday meal isn’t quite as nice as hers. W hile reminding the reader to pre pare vegetables and side dishes on Wednesday, h |f minute-by-m inute schedule for Thursday doesn’t include remembering to heat them. Gotcha. T he Tante Marie cooking school, however, clearly lists tasks for the days preceding Thanksgiving and instructs that on Thursday, after setting the turkey to cook and prepping the veg etables, one should “take a walk.” Hallelujah. As to what those stone-cold side dishes that Stewart forgets might be, Epicurious.com graciously compiles 20 great menus, replete with recipes, from past editions of Gourmet and Bon Appetit magazines. (Stay firmly away from the trademark hell o f pack aged brands that parade as holiday food on the canny thanksgiving recipes.com Web site.) Given the heady crush of food piled on the typical feast-day plate, anything from a hearty Zinfandel to a

more tenuous rose earns the glass, apparently, which makes buying the wine a snap. Wineanswers.com assures, “Choosing wines to enjoy with Thanksgiving dinner is easy. Why? Because it’s hard to make a bad choice.” For an incredulous guffaw to cut all that cooking tension, the Thanks giving “W ine & Dine” guide on AskMen.com advises, with apparent sincerity, “Spare yourself a trip to th ^ in-laws and opt to give thanks another way — by watching football and enjoying the day with friends.” Such a testosterone feast o f thanks, it is sug gested, should include plenty o f beer and hard liquor, a sliced turkey plat ter, some pizza, hot nachos and those traditional holiday burgers. For a true laugh, gape at the food featured on Minneapolis Star-Tribune columnist James Lileks thoroughly amusing Web site, Lileks.com. Newly published as a book, his “Gallery of Regrettable Food” is an archivist’s delight o f old food photos with extremely witty accompanying com mentary. Anything you make is going to be better than what Lileks showcas es here. Guests tend to arrive at holidays; you may even be a guest yourself. Using an odd style of capitalization akin to bad German headline transla tion, the Etiquette Grrls aim to instruct. Authors o f Things You Should Be Told and More Things You Should Be Told, this anonymous group o f twentysomethings addresses questions about manners ranging from appro priate attire to m aintaining sophisti cated composure when confronted with marshmallowed vegetables. They finally sniff, “For some rea

son, on the afternoon o f Thanksgiving Day, practically every family in America goes all Kennedy Clan Wanna-Be and plays Touch Football on the Lawn. T he Etiquette Grrls think this is probably All Well and Good, as long as the Sporting Types are Polite About T heir Games. First, you are not allowed to Force People to Play in order to ‘Make the Teams Even,’ particularly if the people in question are Elderly, Infirm or Girls Wearing Nice Clothing. T he Etiquette Grrls are Perfectly C ontent to Sip Some H ot Chocolate on the Porch and Watch, but when we say we don’t want to play, We Mean It.” I believe them. After all the cooking, preparation and eating are done, everyone likes to share stories and reminisce. Be the first at your table to inform those gathered that the very notion o f the Pilgrims’ first Thanksgiving is a lie and a sham. We’ve even misspelled the name o f the place. T he Plimoth Plantation living history community, located near Plymouth, Mass., eagerly breaks the bad news, going so far as to term that faraway first dinner a “m yth.” It further scolds, “T here are many other aspects o f the Thanks giving holiday as it is celebrated today that are based on misunderstandings and misrepresentations o f the 1621 event.” Given the gnarly nature o f families around this annual celebration, here’s hoping that misunderstandings and misrepresentations don’t make history for your 2003 event.® Web Feat wants a heaping helping o f your delicious slice o f cyberspace.

entering the primary.-The winner takes on five-term U.S. Senate powerhouse Patrick J. Leahy. “Yes, I’ve heard the rumors,” said Tarrant this week. “People have approached me both here and in Washington about doing some thing.” Tarrant told Seven Days that he’s been heavily involved in brokering a multibillion-dollar deal with the . British Health Service. The South Burlington medical software com pany recently landed a big contract with the Veterans Administration. Things are looking up once again for IDX, eh? At 61, Tarrant sounds ready for new challenges. Rich said he’s been approached about “a job in the Washington bureaucracy” and has many “other options.” Asked if a U.S. Senate race against Leahy is in the cards, Tarrant replied, “Is he beatable?” Actually, few would suggest St. Patrick is. Despite that prognosis, Tarrant said, “I wouldn’t rule it out, but I just don’t know.” Clearly, he has been thinking about it. “I’ve talked to different kinds of people in the political world,” said Tarrant. Asked if he’d signed up a politi cal consultant yet, Tarrant said he had not. Rich Tarrant is a political con sultant’s dream because of his deep pockets. And a talented pro could certainly maneuver around the blemishes. Qne is Tarrant’s service on the executive committee of the Fletcher Allen Health Care board of trustees while hospital manage ment was engineering the largest financial scam in Vermont history. Then there’s the pending inves tigation by the U.S. Attorney into whether IDX made false state ments on an application for a $9.2 million federal contract in 2001. Not to worry. After all, the cur rent president overcame a DWI, insider-trading charges and going AWOL from the Air Guard. McMullen, the only announced candidate, told Seven Days he had heard the rumors about a Tarrant candidacy. Mr. McMullen described Mr. IDX as “a stalwart supporter of Republican candidates and causes. He’s a good man.” However, McMullen said a Tarrant candidacy would not drive him out of the race. After all, McMullen’s record isn’t exactly sterling. He made Vermont politi cal history in 1998 as the Bay State carpetbagger who lost the GOP Senate primary to the late, great non-politician Fred Tuttle. Tarrant, said McMullen, “is no Fred Tuttle.” No, he isn’t. McMullen’s net worth is in the $20 million range. Tarrant’s holdings exceed $ 100 million. Tarrant told yours truly he’s “not as right-wing as people like to think.” In fact, he’s pulled out the checkbook for Democratic presi dential hopeful Howard Dean. Tarrant gave $5000 to Dean’s exploratory committee and another $2000 to Ho-Ho’s presidential campaign — the maximum allowed under law. .Tarrant said Dean “has a lot of

good ideas, but I don’t agree with everything he says.” Asked what he disagrees with, Rich drew a blank. W hat about the Iraq war? Tarrant said he hadn’t read enough about the issue. “I haven’t analyzed it,” was his reply. Asked about Leahy’s recent coup landing a big fat government con tract for IBM’s Vermont facility, Tarrant replied, “The more jobs here, the better.” Leahy spokesman Luke Albee told Seven Days,, “We have a lot of respect for Rich Tarrant and have worked closely and productively with IDX.” Cool Hand Luke then put on his psychoanalyst hat. “It sounds like this may be more of a journey of self-discov ery,” said Albee, “rather than con cern about how Sen. Leahy’s been doing his job.” Tarrant’s best shot may be at Independent Sen. Jim Jeffords' seat two years down the road. That is, if Jeezum Jim were to retire. On the other hand, one lap around the bases by Mr. Tarrant in 2004 might be the perfect prep for 2006, eh?

Deanwatch 2004 — It’s all hap pening so fast. This week Ho-Ho lengthened his insurmountable lead in New Hampshire. The Marist Poll showed him more than 20 points ahead of John Kerry (44-23). Hundreds of Vermont Deaniacs are making weekend bus trips to New Hampshire to canvass door-to-door for Ho-Ho. In Iowa, Dr. Dean is taking the scalpel to frontrunner Dick Gephardt with a TV spot pictur ing Gephardt at President George W. Bush’s side on the blank-check Iraq War Resolution. Reporters from big-city newspa pers call and ask questions like, “Do you remember Dean lying?” and “W hat’s his greatest flaw?” Also, last week a cryptic out-ofstate customer contacted Ch. 17 in Burlap and sent a cashier’s check to buy all 231 Dean videos from his gubernatorial press conferences. According to Channel 17 Director Jess Wilson, the buyer, John Mastrandi, called from New York. He would only identify himself as a “researcher.” Wouldn’t say for whom. Mastrandi asked that the invoice be faxed to a number i n ^ . Arkansas. The check was handdelivered, drawn on the Wachovia Bank in North Carolina. By the way, Ch. 17 is showing old Dean speeches and press con ferences on its Web site free of charge: www.channell7.org/dean video.html.

The Dean Library — The Howard Dean books have started rolling off the presses. Better clear a shelf in the bookcase, because if things keep going the way they’re going, there will be a host of Dean books published between now and Inauguration Day 2005. One “must read” that surely will stand the test of time is the new 245-page paperback Howard Dean: A Citizens Guide to the Man Who Would Be President ($12.95). It’s a Vermont product, produced locally by two Vermont newspa pers, the Rutland Herald and the 4 4 « ftV %1 * * i>* i * ♦ \ « t • ■

Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, owned by R. John Mitchell. Sunday editor Dirk Van SllSteren (brother of the Fox News star Greta) pulled together a crew of eight writers who give this Dean opus what others may lack — a genuine Vermont feel for the subject matter. Irene Wielawski digs out the story of how the\kid from Park Avenue got to Vermont. Sally West Johnson chronicles his introduction to Vermont politics, while Ham Davis treads through the wins and losses during the gubernatorial years. Davis’ better half, Burlington Free Press reporter Candace Page, appears to have squeezed herself into the book in this reference by husband Ham: “One reporter who watched Dean over his entire tenure believes his style grows out of a truly serene self-confidence. Dean seemed to her not to need the kind of deference, indeed adula tion, that is commonly sought by politicians. He’s bright, successful, he grew up rich in a loving family, and he seemed totally secure about who he was.” Surprisingly, the book uses a liberal dose of quotations from former House Speaker Ralph W righ t’s memoir, A ll Politics Is Personal, to expose the inner Dean. Ralph became speaker in 1983, the year Ho-Ho entered the legislature ava rookie rep. In his second term, Dean moved up the political food chain to become Democratic whip. H o-H o’s never spoken much about lessons • learned from his term as Ralph’s lieutenant, btit h^huistftave learned something. Twetiry years later, he’s running for president! After he lost reelection to his Bennington seat in 1994 (due in no small part to the consistently negative coverage he got in the Rutland Herald), Ralph sat down and wrote his story. It remains the best inside look into Vermont pol itics ever written. No punches pulled. Not that Ralph doesn’t deserve credit, but it is surprising to see Speaker Wright suddenly treated like Obi-Wan Kenobi, consider ing the publisher. The Herald/ Times Argus never gave Ralphie a break during his long reign as speaker. O n the editorial pages and the news pages, the Mitchell papers repeatedly smeared Ralph as the evil epitome of arm-twist ing, backroom politics. Vermonters have lived the Dean story, but what will Americans in the other 49 states get from this book? A reviewer in the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, “Perhaps the biggest revelation in this volume for those absorbing Dean’s nation al ‘far-left’ media image is that his Vermont image was anything but.” The reviewer, Carlin Romano, also posed a question that will likely be raised by other flatlanders: “Does anyone do any thing vile in Vermont? Could there be Arkansas-style shenani gans worth learning?” Dream on. ®

eorge Schenks American Flatbread may have finally reached “punctuated equilibrium ” — the name o f one o f their popular pizza inventions — from the per spective o f local supply and demand. After Waitsfield, M iddlebury got the first slice. But come spring, Schenk-sanctioned pizzas will be cooking in the space for merly occupied by the Biltmore Grill, which closed two weeks ago after a year and a half in business. Two restaurateurs have sold their M iddlebury interest back to Schenk in order to focus on Burlington in a “licensed arrangem ent” with American Flatbread. “We sort o f stum bled into this building,” says Rob Downey, acknowledging the pizza plan was once part o f Melinda M oulton’s Lake Street development project. But he and partner Paul Sayler have an oppor tunity to buy the old C arbur’s location. They’ll serve pizza for lunch and dinner seven nights a week — in contrast to the weekends-only policy in Waitsfield and M iddlebury — and will likely add a “brewing com ponent.” Sayler is already making beer at the Bobcat Cafe in Bristol, where he and Downey are

investors. Along w ith the recipes, the two men have adopted Flatb read’s social mis sion. T he point is not just to make dough, but to use food as “a way to better people’s lives, health and the environ m ent,” says Downey. Expect to see plenty o f political posters on the walls, but no bonfires outside. Burlington C ity Flail Park has enough problems.

SUNNY SIDE UP

Diners used to be a reliable place to find American comfort food: gravy-slathered meat, mushy vegeta bles, oversweet pies. But these days the lunch counter is attracting food and cul ture critics. T he Putney Diner is the only Northeastern restaurant in Gourmet's sup plement, Guide to America's Best Road Food, edited by Jane and Michael Stern. “Yankee to the core,” the glossy food mag azine raves in its November issue. “Here’s a little town eatery serving buckwheat pancakes w ith maple syrup for breakfast and meat and potatoes the rest o f the day. N o m atter w hat meal it is, the proper con clusion is a wedge o f pie — preferably apple with a hunk o f Vermont cheddar.” Pass the cliches . . . Barre’s Farmer's

Diner, on the other hand, is truly local. In the cuirent$ssue o f Harper's, R ipton writer Bill McKibben praises the place — and its owner, Tod Murphy — for buying and serving food raised within 60 miles o f the kitchen. “In a country where the average forkful o f dinner travels 1500 miles to reach your lips, this makes M urphy’s diner perhaps the most interest ing restaurant in America,” McKibben suggests. In “How Big Can Small-Town Life Get?” McKibben, who has written books about global warming and genetic engineering, finds cause for hope in his own back yard . . . There’s more down the hill in downtown Bristol at Snap's — another com m unity-financed food ven ture m asterm inded by local restaurant mogul Robert Fuller. Fourteen people put up $5000 each to launch the place, in a deal similar to the one that brought his Bobcat to life. Fuller is also invested in Gillian's and Cubbers. He owns Leunig's and Pauline's outright. N am ed after an old-tim e local restaurateur, Snap’s is a breakfast-and-lunch place that Fuller describes as “a Penny Cluse-Sneakers clone” serving “contem porary diner food.” T hat means the place is catering to the portobello-and-tofu-scram ble crowd, but, he says, “M ost o f what we sell is ham and eggs and pancakes and French toast.” Three weekends ago, the restaurant did 28Q brunches in one day. Carve another notch, er, niche for Fuller . . . Looks like Bristol is ready for a “general store for the 21st century.” Almost Home is a little bit country, but owner Linda Hanson is also selling Intelligensia coffee, fancy foods, homem ade baked goods and take-home salads, entrees and side dishes where the Bristol Market used to be . . .

Ever since a mad-cow scare closed the border to Canadian beef exports, U.S. livestock farm ers have been fetching phenome nal prices for hamburger on the hoof. “It’s the older animals that are selling well, the ones that are ready for processing,” says Jim Kleptz o f LaPlatte River Angus in Shelburne. Call it prim ed rib. “But apparently nobody thinks it’s going to last very long because it hasn’t affect ed feeder calf prices,” Kleptz observes. In other words, nobody is willing to bet the boom will last as long as it takes to fatten a cow. Interestingly, the beef mar

Although she’s not the first Vermonter to hire herself out as a mobile meal-maker — she’ll do a fivecourse dinner party for 12 in your home or lay on the appe tizers at a corporate cocktail party for 75 — an extensive eth nic m enu sets G am m on apart. Her banana flower salad with citrus cilantro dressing is subject to “market availability.” But she’s ready to whip up prawn pate grilled on lemongrass spears with a tam arind dipping sauce anytime.

culinary training. She got the itinerant-chef idea from a Burlington friend, who remem bered “this Asian woman who used to come to people’s houses and cook up a storm, charge per head and then clean up and leave,” Gapimoi^explains, “I i thought t^|feoim de< | like a great idea.” Appropriately, she lives in Bristol and cooks in Shelburne.

not something you mix with soda or coke. It’s a variety of bygone gobbler that dates back to the Revolutionary War — one o f a num ber o f neglected breeds that modern gourmets are trying to revive as part o f the interna tional “Slow Food” movement. Heritage turkeys, as they are called, are the meat equivalent of heirloom vegetables — throw back designs in danger o f being “perfected” out of existence. The only Vermont source is the Adams Farm in Westford. “I don’t think they’re on the endan gered list now, but they were pretty close,” says Judy Adams. The smaller, wilder, old-fash ioned birds yield more flavorful dark meat per pound than big breasted commercial varieties. “We are trying to keep these birds in production by growing them .” A total o f 70 will be his tory next week. Plenty o f deli cious modern Vermont turkeys are still available, though, both at Adams Farm and Misty .Knoll Tana, in blew

MEALS ON WHEELS Making tamales is a complicated process that involves stuffing and steaming fragile food con structions inside actual corn husks. “Labor-intensive” is the term experts use to describe the process — including Monica Mead, a.k.a. Tamale Girl, who makes a living cooking, packag ing and distributing tamales-togo from her home in Burling ton. “I’m insane. I’m crazy. I don’t know why I’m making tamales. Something bit me in the ass,” she says. “Somebody who never made them before would say, ‘Christ, no way.’” Until they dig into one o f six varieties that feature beans, roasted veggies, olive, m ush rooms and cheese. This is one ready-to-eat meal that tastes like you made.it yourself. And you " do, in a way. The non microwave directions call for a five-minute steam prior to eat ing. A warning on the package alerts, “and remember, don’t eat the husk.” A summ ertim e fixture at the Burlington Farmers Market, Mead moves about 250 tamales a week in markets throughout the state. She sells out every week at Dan & Whit's store in Norwich. The price for two tamales ranges between six and seven bucks. Pricey, but “I’m using fresh pro duce. I’m making my own sauces. 1 roast the chilis myself. I think people appreciate that” . . * . “Nuevo Mexicana” is what Lauren Gammon calls it. The 29-year-old “Nomadic C h ef’

LEFTOVERS Someone from Asiana must have checked out the sushi sales at the Price Chopper on Shelburne Road. Although the corporate m an agers won’t say how much raw fish is going down at the super market, anecdotal evidence sug gests it’s a lot. There are more and more kimonos, an everincreasing after-hours selection and little black containers in nearly every cart. But is the dem and great enough to support another sushi bar in Burlington? Koto on Shelburne Road was first to challenge the supremacy o f downtown’s Sakura. Now there’s com petition right around the corner — Asiana brings Japanese cuisine to the old Valencia space. A nd then there’s Glori Nori and Loong Chat's . . . W hat’s the best sign o f a successful restaurant expan sion? At the old Chow! Bella, “We were always turning people away,” says owner Connie Jacobs-Warden. Now, with triple the space, “We’ve had a line out the door here, too,” she reports. “Here” is St. Albans, a seemingly unlikely food destina tion. But eaters flock to the Rail City for Chow’s creative Italian fare, its “chic, cosmo” atmos phere and live music every night o f the week. Jazz musician Jerry Lavene plays every M onday night.

Weinert had a gig last week. Sterling Weed and his ninepiece orchestra are booked for next Friday. Jacobs-Warden will be giving thanks there’s room to dance . . . You don’t have to be an old-time Vermonter to catch the sugar ing bug. Claudia Clark got cooking after her first winter in Plainfield, on a Weber gas grill. “It took forever,” she recalls. Standing for hours over boiling sap could account for some of the innovative maple products she’s marketing on the Moosewood Hollow label. “I decided I would position it as a gourmet cooking ingredient rather than a pancake top ping,” she says. Clark makes flavored biscotti and infused syrup in “autum n,” chai, ginger and “savory” flavors. Also “sweet heat,” which is described as “Vermont maple syrup meets South-western habanero pepper.” WilliamsSonoma just picked up the whole line . . . Is Annie's Naturals playing ketchup? Following Heinz’s lead, the Vermont company now has three new brightly colored salad dressings for kids. Annie Christopher developed three salad toppings in response to the growing problem o f child hood obesity “in the hopes they will eat them with let tuce,” says marketing director Donna Fitch. “Organic Pizza Pie” doesn’t sound exactly lowcal, but it’s gluten-free and con tains no added sweeteners. Blended black current and car rot juice make it look like pizza in a bottle. There’s also sesameand-tamari Organic Zoom, which is purple, and brilliant red Tutti Frutti — a combina tion o f papaya, pineapple, mango, passion fruit, pear and lo han gau from China . . . Could Southeast Asian water buffaloes replace black-andwhite Holsteins as Vermont’s animal icons? T he massive horned creatures are taking over the hills of Woodstock, where David Muller is operat ing the only water buffalo milk creamery in the U nited States. Star Hill Dairy— and its buf falo-milk mozzarella — may be the great white hope of Vermont agriculture. T he state loaned the operation a million bucks last year. T he University of Vermont’s top dairy scien tist, Paul Kindstedt, is lend ing academic expertise. Even Tom Hardy left his deputy ag commissioner job to work for Muller, who made millions developing the equipm ent used in laser eye surgery. W ater buf faloes yield more milk — and for years longer — with higher fat content than dairy cattle. And they don’t m ind the cold. Muller is already selling the yogurt for $2 a pint in 200 markets across the country. The mozzarella has been in local stores for about a m onth. Muller queried the Los Angeles Times, “Everyone knows about Vermont and maple syrup. W hy can’t it be just as wellknown for water buffalo?” ®

rocery baggers are at the bottom o f the supermar ket food chain. They have to stand all day and endure the incessant beeping o f price scanners, the glare o f fluorescent lights and the constant stream o f customers who barely acknowledge their exis tence, except to express a preference for paper or plastic. M any baggers also m ust corral loose shop ping carts, m op the floor and clean the store bath rooms. It’s physically demanding, entry-level work in a noisy^ stressful environment. ^ , But baggers have an im portant jo b — they pack your food supply for transport. It’s a service you probably don’t even notice, unless it’s done badly. Everyone winces when a clueless bagger squishes a tom ato or crushes a carton o f eggs. But how many people recognize a job well done? W ho am ong us has com plim ented the bagger who stows a motley array o f goods in a perfectly balanced sack stack? To celebrate and reward the most dedicated o f these professionals, the National Grocers Assoc iation holds a Best Bagger contest at their annual convention. T he contestants, who qualify by w in ning a state-level bagging com petition, vie for $2000 in prize money and a grocery-bag-shaped trophy. To find out what it takes to, um, bag the title, I spent an hour on the job w ith Abby Leo, Vermont’s 2003 Best Bagger. I learned that it’s not as easy as it looks. I met Leo on a chilly Sunday m orning at the Shaw’s Supermarket in W illiston. A 12th-grader at W illiston’s Trinity Baptist School, she stands up straight and makes eye contact; she comes across as self-confident w ithout seeming cocky. Leo has worked at Shaw’s for nearly a year and a half, and has been prom oted from bagger to checker to “co assist,” a shift-leader position. She still bags occa sionally and works at the registers, but she also assigns breaks and carries the keys to the cigarette cabinet. She doesn’t strike me as the kind o f kid who would sneak a few for herself. Leo found out about the Best Bagger com peti tion through a flyer posted on the employee bul letin board. T he contest, which took place last m onth at the VGA convention, drew nine com petitors from across the state. Each o f them had to separate a table full o f items including pickles, light bulbs, Doritos and Keebler Fudge cookies into two paper bags. They raced to complete the task as quickly as possible, but speed, noted Leo, wasn’t the only consideration. “You w ant to have a fast tim e,” she told me, “but you want to have a good bag.” She explained that “good bags” were nearly identical in weight — the judges weighed them.

W H A T ’S IN T H E B A G ? Important life skills grocery bagging teaches you, according to Vermont's Best Bagger: Responsibility, time management. Her favorite thing to bag: Cans. Least favorite things: Hangers and celery. Which is better, paper or plastic?: " I like paper, because you can put more in it. Unless you can get someone who can bag plastic well, it just rolls over."

Number of U.S. presidents from 1960-2000 who worked as grocery baggers (according to Paul S teves of the Vermont Grocer's Association): Seven out of eight. Second- and third-place finishers in Vermont's Best Bagger Competition: Josh Desrocher of Shaw's, Middlebury; Pamela Ricker

Grand Union Family Market, Northfield.

And the items stacked inside weren’t supposed to shift or roll. After weighing the bags, the judges actually slit them open. They peeled the bags away from their contents to check the structural integrity o f the stacks, which had to remain standing. T he judges also award ed points to contestants who exhibited a positive, friendly attitude. Leo scored high on all counts in the first round, and won top marks again in the three-person finals. To dem onstrate her superior technique, Leo stepped into the baggers “sweet spot” — a narrow notch between two hip-high plas tic shelves at the foot o f a checkout line. T he black m at beneath her feet showed a circle o f wear in the center, the tread rubbed away by countless baggers before her. As Leo waited for a line to form at the register, she rubbed her hands together. She did it to keep warm — it was cold so near to the constantly opening doors, and she was wearing a short-sleeve uniform shirt. But the gesture made her look eager. Maybe she was eager; the busier Leo got, the more she seemed to enjoy the pressure, the constant m otion. H unks o f meat, jars o f orange jam and boxes o f instant rice soon slid from the conveyor belt, piling up in front o f her as she asked, “Is plastic OK?” T he cus tom er had barely answered before Leo scanned the load, scooped up the sturdiest items and began building the bottom o f a bag. W atching her work, I was struck not only by her speed, but also by the subtle spatial calculations she made. As Leo reached for a box o f Jell-O Pudding Pops, she saw some soup cans. H er hand lingered on the pudding box for the barest fraction o f a second, as she decid ed to leave it and go for the cans instead. W hen a package o f mini light-bulbs got buried beneath a bag o f peppers in a conveyor belt avalanche, Leo fished it out and p u t it aside, then placed it carefully at the top o f a bag, on a loaf o f bread, like a cherry on a hot fudge sundae. Asked about her selection process, Leo explained a few basic rules; “Cans go on the bottom , boxes on the side, bread and dips and stuff on top.” She also pointed out that cold goods, such as frozen pizzas and ice cream, go together, and that uncooked meat gets bagged sep arately to avoid the possibility o f spreading salmonella. »

It’s a sim ple system, but one I had never before consid ered. Like m ost Americans, I’ve been shopping in grocery stores all my life, b u t I’d never thought about the proper way to take my purchases hom e. It opened a new door in my m ind, and I decided to show baggers a little more respect from now on.

Stevens couldn’t tell. “She held herself well,” he told me, and that wasn’t easy, since she was bagging in front o f 50 to 100 spectators, many o f them cheer ing loudly for their favorite. “She was always smiling and friendly,” said Stevens. “It was astonishing, actually, because she had some tough competitors in the finals.”

In Nationals, you have no id ea w h a t’s going to b e conning at you. Just bagging everyday g rocery o rders is pretty m u c h all you c a n do to prepare. ABBY LEO

It’s certainly something they’d appreciate. I didn’t see any rude customers that m orn ing, but I’ve witnessed enough nasty supermarket scenes to know that long lines and unforeseen delays can put shop pers in a foul mood. I asked Leo if she had any horror stories, but the only ones she m en tioned involved cleaning up spills. Salsa is particularly tough, she said. She also recalls one messy incident involving a bot tle o f vinaigrette dressing that fell off the belt. Maybe she’s just blocking out bad memories, but it could be that she doesn’t have any cus tom er stories to tell — it’s diffi cult to imagine anyone getting angry with her. After every order Leo bagged, she turned to the customer, smiled, and said, “Have a nice day!” or “Have a good one!” She m ight have been showing off for me, but I believe she m eant it. Leo’s hard work and relent less friendliness definitely made an impression at the Best Bagger contest. Paul Stevens, the regional business manager for Unilever Ice Cream who has run the event for the past six years, told me she was one of the strongest finalists he’d seen in years. Leo claimed she was nervous during the finals — “M y legs were shaking” — but

Stevens would like to bring the Best Bagger trophy to the Green M ountain State someday. “I’d love to see a national w in ner,” he adm itted, “but Vermont’s a small state.” The com petition at the national level is fierce. Last year’s winner, Darcie Berndt from Indiana, bagged 35 items in two paper bags, then rebagged them in three plastic bags in just under 55 seconds. For her part, Leo’s not stress ing too m uch about the compe tition. T he VGA gave her a list o f last year’s items to prepare for States, but the N G A offers no advice. “In Nationals, you have no idea w hat’s going to be com ing at you,” she said. “Just bag ging everyday grocery orders is pretty much all you can do to prepare.” Leo seems more interested in the vacation, anyway — the Vermont crown comes w ith a free trip to the N G A conven tion. She’ll spend four days at the Paris H otel in Las Vegas this February, and figures she’ll only have to bag for an hour and a half or so. She still acts sur prised — not that she won the com petition, but that such a thing exists in the first place. “It’s like, I bagged groceries and I won this trip,” she said. “It’s not som ething you hear every day.” ®

n the eve o f Thanksgiving, Tom Turkey isn’t the only one shaking in his frilly white boots. So are the bakers o f America, who are watching an axe swing straight through the heart o f their carbohydraterich livelihood. First there was the Atkins diet, a ’70s-era, high-protein plan that has recently resurfaced in a big way. T hen along came The South Beach Diet, now num ber one on The New York Times best seller list. This program, based on the complicated glycemic index (GI) o f foods, “detoxes” eaters o f bread, pasta, rice, pota toes and baked goods for a full two weeks while pushing low-GI foods such as yogurt and asparagus. T he result? According to some estimates, up to 50 million Americans are eschewing carbs and chewing on meat instead. W hile the beef industry fattens up on higher cattle prices — and KFC is soaking it up by prom ot ing a bucket o f fried chicken as healthy — bakers are, well, mak ing less dough. Some report losing as m uch as 40 percent o f their business, with regular customers stopping by to apologize for their betrayal, according to a November 9 Associated Press article. Last

spring, the Tortilla Industry Association held a seminar titled “An Industry in Crisis.” T he National Bread Leadership Council has called for an emergency “bread sum m it” on November 21 in Providence, Rhode Island, to discuss “the crisis o f consumer m isinform ation.” Bah, hum bug. T he best-seller o f all time — the Bible — says otherwise. Did the people make hamburgers from the m anna o f heaven? Is salmon the staff of life? Are we to eat low-fat yogurt until we return to dust? O r consider the advice o f the almighty M cCain Foods, the w orlds leading french-fry maker, which recently announced that the Atkins diet makes you miserable. T he company hired a nutri tionist to prove that carbohy drates in pota toes, bread and pasta all produce serotonin, a chem ical that makes us happy. And who wants to be unhappy during the holidays? We say, screw the Atkins and South Beach diets and celebrate the season — in fact, any season — with a heaping helping o f serotonin. After all, as the sign at one M aine bakery reads, Senza il pane tutto diventa orfano, or “W ithout bread, every-

For breakfast, why not start with a Montreal-style sesame or sugar bagel from Myer’s Bagels on Pine Street in

One customer reported craving only Bove’s spaghetti and meatballs and a can of Foster’s beer after the birth of her daughter. Burlington? T he dough is hand-rolled, honey-boiled and wood-fired right before your eyes to produce a delicious, dense, slow-burning efiergy source. Members o f the Green M ountain Athletic Association socialize after their 20-mile Sunday runs by noshing on bagels donated by Myer’s, washed down with Gatorade. If that sounds too healthy, head over to Greenstreet’s at M ain and Battery for a knee-buckling-good sugar doughnut, made Tuesday through Thursday. O n other days, it’s hard to pass up D unkin’ D onuts — their new apple-cider dough nut upholds a long-standing Vermont tra dition. O f course, you can also find cider doughnuts at farm stands, cider mills and grocery stores around the state. Feel free to wash them down w ith a m ug o f steam ing apple cider laced with maple syrup, which provides an extra carb kick. T h at m uch sugar should get you through the drive to Plainfield for a stack o f butterm ilk pancakes at River Run. “T he best I’ve had,” swears a hard-core skier friend, who seems pretty happy most o f the time. At River Run, the princely pancakes are accompanied by the king o f carbs: potatoes — or, as they call them , “hom es.” For a m id-m orning snack in Montpelier, stop in at one o f the state’s best bakeries: La Brioche on M ain Street. Operated by the New England Culinary Institute, whose students know their way around a loaf o f bread, La BriocFie offers a staggering display o f serotonin spikers — scones, muffins, pinwheeels, cinnam onraisin buns, braided coffee cakes. No orphans here. H ow in the world could you prepare for Thanksgiving on a regimen o f coin sized chicken breasts and artichokes?

ing, turkey, cheddar cheese and cranberry sauce. We rec om m end you toss the cheese (too fattening) and the turkey (it’s got sleep-inducing trypto phan) — and just ask for a stuffing sandwich. Trust us, that’s not nearly as weird as the Atkins dieter who orders panini sandwiches w ithout the panini, or spaghetti and meat balls w ithout the spaghetti. It is impossible to order fries w ithout the fries. Customers keep lining up at Al’s French Frys on W illiston Road in South Burlington for cups, pints or quarts o f the signature dish. W ith crispy jackets and steaming, soft cen ters, these spuds — best doused in vinegar — could make a cattleman cry. And should you bring an Atkins friend, take note: Listed on the “New Items” board are lettuce and tomato. If you’re on that antiFrench kick, you should know that the “french” in french fry refers to the m ethod of cutting and cooking, not the country. T hat said, a more patriotic pick might be macaroni and cheese; Thom as Jefferson brought back the dish from Italy in the 1700s and later commissioned his own “maccarony m achine.” T.J. would have loved Burlington’s Fresh M arket on Pine Street, which mixes its macaroni with M cKen^if ham and Cabot cheddar — or Parmesan, Provolone, M uenster and cheddar. Right next door, the recent ly opened Great Harvest Bread Com pany doles out textbookthick slices o f bread for free. Ignore the South Beach-biased “Soup” sign out front and go for a sample o f the honeywheat. Drizzled with honey or spread with jam, it makes for a perfect post-stuffing sandwich/french fry/mac-andcheese dessert. And buy a loaf to take home; this m onth, Great Harvest is offering stuff ing bread in addition to its rotating specialties o f cinna m on swirl, asiago-olive and more. O n Swift Street in South Burlington, Klinger’s Bakery also has an irresistible selec tion, including cranberrypecan, Jewish rye and rose mary ciabatta. Ask for buttery hazelnut biscotti, an oat chip cookie, a petit four or a honey bee cake (vanilla Genoise sticks topped with honey-but ter cream and dark chocolate) to go; you’ll need it for a lateaffernoon snack. Pastries, in fact, are a great . way to carb through the four o’clock slump. You think string cheese and an apple are going to do the trick? Please. M ake your way to Burlington’s Mirabelles, where eclairs, cream puffs and fresh-fruit tartlets are best bought by the dozen and shared with every one at work. Everyone, that is,

H er hus band obliged by running out o f the hospital for the meal. He could have stopped by Magic H at, too. Germ an mothers drink pints o f beer to aid their breastfeeding, and one new m om recently found that only Magic H at #9 helped. “Like magic Dolly Parton elixir!” she wrote to the brewery. Even if you’re not lactating, keep a few growlers in the fridge for your evening’s supply o f sero tonin. Really, what is the point o f drinking a low-carb beer? To look like you were duped by an ad campaign? Pour a glass while you wait for delivery from Leonardo’s Pizza. (N ot to toss the tortilla industry further into crisis, but try the Santa Fe H o t Mexican Fiesta, which has black beans. And don’t forget the side o f breadsticks.)

Recipe for R u x Martin gets it write in th e kitch en

’d heard Rux M artin was a gracious host, but I knew it for sure when she burned the bread. W hat could be more gracious than providing her interviewer with the perfect lead: STORY “ fop cookbook editor can’t even D A V ID make toast!” The blazing baguettes W A R N E R were, o f course, an accident; M artin was preparing French onion soup for IMAGES our lunch at her home in Ferrisburgh JO R D A N and forgot to check on the bread S IL V E R M A N browning in the oven. But she knew right away that the irony was too per fect: “I’m quite a cook!” she announced with wry delight. Rux M artin is, in fact, quite a cook. And it’s her culinary savvy — plus an irrepressible sense o f hum or and a quick eye for what makes a good story — that have made her a star in the highly competitive field of cookbook publishing. Chop, chop, chop. Slicing and browning onions with the blithe effi ciency o f Julia Child, M artin talks about the meal to come. “It’s just a fabulously simple recipe that uses chicken stock, and has all that yummy cheese glommed on top o f it.” It’s not her recipe, though. It’s from Jacques Pepin’s 2003 memoir The Apprentice, which she edited (see sidebar). M artin is perfectly happy being what she calls a “recipe cook.” She may not invent her own dishes, but she knows cooking, and she knows recipes. And if a recipe in a new cookbook makes her think, “I can’t even stand it, I want to make this so m uch,” she can be pretty sure she’s got a hit on her hands. In her seven years with H oughton Mifflin, where she is executive editor o f cookbooks, M artin has translated that instinct into millions o f dollars in publishing revenues. Among the celebrated titles she’s edited are Susanna Foo Chinese Cuisine by the acclaimed Philadelphia chef; Greg Patent’s award-winner Baking in America-, One Potato, Two Potato by Roy Finamore and W illiston-based writer Molly Stevens; America's Best Recipes 2003-04 by Stevens and Fran M cCullough.

This year M artin produced two of her biggest successes yet: the Pepin memoir, which sold more than 50,000 copies and made The New York Times extended best-seller list, and Aquavit, a gorgeous cookbook from the New York City restaurant of the same name by Ethiopia-born, Sweden-raised Marcus Samuelsson. The James Beard Foundation named him “Best C hef New York City” this year. Published in September, Aquavit is selling out despite a daunting $45 price tag. M artin is currently working on one of the most anticipated —- and hotly bidded-for — cookbooks o f the coming year, a com pendium of 1200 recipes from the 60-year history of ; Gourmet magazine, edited by Ruth Reichl. v You won’t find Rux M artin’s name on the binding of any o f these books. You will find her in the acknowledg ments, and in the reviews o f percep-r T tive critics. In The Apprentices Pepifi^ lauds her “incisive m ind, clear vision and sharp scissors.” One Potato Finamore praises M artin’s “grace ana aplom b.” Corby Kummer, food writer for The Atlantic, writes of her “relent less lucidity.” “She is unique,” her local col league, Molly Stevens, sums up. “These books are more than a job for her — this stuff really m atters.” But what is it a cookbook editor does, exactly? “The main thing is choosing the authors,” says M artin. She takes sub missions from agents, but she also goes out hunting for prospects. T h at’s what happened with the Samuelsson book; M artin called an agent living in southern Vermont, who responded that she’d received an interesting book proposal from the chef at Aquavit. As it happened, luck and tim ing were on M artin’s side. Even though Samuel sson had already achieved celebritychef status — he was one o f People magazine’s top five eligible bachelors in 2000 — the editors who would have been likely to compete with M artin for the book were either on

vacation or, in one case, hamstrung by a boss who’d had a meal he didn’t like at Aquavit. But it wasn’t just Samuelssoris fame that made the book an attractive buy, nor even the appeal o f his story: an Ethiopian orphan taught Swedish cooking by his adoptive grandmother. It was the fact that he was cooking within a tradition, yet finding new ways to tweak it. M artin saw the pos sibility for a book that could do what she says all good cookbooks do: invite you into a chef’s world and, at the same time, show you how to make some really great food. For his part, Samuelsson was just happy that someone of M artin’s stature would take a chance on a cookbook o f Swedish cuisine. “She’s a pioneer,” he says admiringly. “Scan dinavian food’s a m inority — she wasn’t intim idated by that.” ^ 'He’s also glad M artin was willing to work with a first-time author. “She put me in book school,” he says. “I had no idea how to put the book together.” Samuelsson praises M artin’s willingness to listen — and her ability, when nec essary, to make him shut up. “She’s very hard, but she’s also the best.”

Except for her One Potato, Two Potato apron, Rux M artin doesn’t look like someone whose life revolves around eating. She’s a youthful, slen der 53 in blue jeans and a turtleneck the color o f lime sherbet, her brown hair cut page-boy style. Answering questions while she cuts bread, her intelligent eyes are wary behind her reading glasses. C ontained and pre cise, she holds her upper arms close to her body and speaks softly and dis tinctly. “Barry’s is the more interesting story,” she avows, referring to her partner Barry Estabrook, an articles editor at Gourmet and a mystery nov elist. It was his narrative skills that helped shape Pepin’s memoir, M artin insists. But there’s a sparkle beneath her reserve, and she’s happily prone to laughter, often at her own expense.

Brandishing a D iet Coke, she recalls her first memories o f food as a child growing up in northwestern Connecticut. H er m other wasn’t a particularly good cook, but her par ents were “adventurous eaters” who’d make her try whatever was on the plate. H er grandm other introduced her to the joy o f food. “She would give these fabulous cocktail parties on

NOTHING BU T TH E B EST How do you choose America's best recipes? Molly Stevens' answer: "It's insane." But that's not stop ping the Williston food writer. Co-editor with Fran McCullough of the last three volumes in Houghton Mifflin's Best American Recipes series, including the just-released 2003-04 edition, she's already embarking on 2004-2005. Stevens and McCullough comb through thousands of recipes in cookbooks, food magazines, the Internet and newsletters before narrowing down the possibilities to about 750. Then it's cook, cook, cook for the last three months of the year. the 2003-04 book, Stevens wound up making all the desserts because McCullough was on a liet. That wasn't so tough, she says, because desserts are easy to give away. "The hardest :o get rid of is the failures." Memorable disasters from this year's trials included cranberry ed beef and "chicken you roll in barbecue potato chips and bake. It was horrible — just what you thought it would be." Trends of a more appetizing variety included slow cooking, tequila as an ingredient and "rediscov ered oldies — things people always knew how to make but stopped, like fried chicken.' e scone recipe below made it into the 2003-04 book because of Rux Martin, Houghton Mifflin's executive editor of cookbooks. "Fran and I were in the final throes of assembling last year's collection, and the scones had made the first cut but were threatened by a bunch of other really great-sounding breakfast treats," says Stevens. "As we were crazily trying to test every last recipe, Rux started making these for her houseguests... [She] fell in love with the recipe, and not only did the recipe make it into the collection, it ended up on the top-10 recipe list," — D.W.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles cornmeal. (Or use a food processor fitted with the metal blade to cut the butter into the flour mixture'by pulsing 10 to 12 times. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl to continue.) Do not overwork the dough. Add the 1 1/4 cups of buttermilk and mix until just combined and the dough begins to stick together. Add additional buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough seems too dry. It should just hang together but not be at all wet or sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll or pat into two 6-inch rounds, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut each round in half, then cut each half into 3 triangles (pie shaped wedges) and place on the baking sheets. Brush the tops with the egg wash. Bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Onion Soup Gratinee For this recipe, you will need four onion soup bowls, each with a capacity of about 12 ounces and, preferably, with a lip or rim around the edge that the cheese topping will stick to as it melts to form a beautiful crust on top of the soup. 2 T. unsalted butter 3 onions (about 12 oz.), cut into thin slices About 7 c. good-quality chicken stock, or a mixture of chicken and beef stock About 1/2 t. salt, more or less, depending on the saltiness of the stock 1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper 16 slices of baguette, each cut about 3/8 inch thick About 3 c. grated Swiss cheese, preferably Gruyere, Comte, or Emmenthaler (about 10 oz.)

Cook's Notes For best results, measure the flour carefully using the scoop-and-sweep method: Spoon the flour into a dry measuring cup until it is piled above the rim, and then level the meas ure by sweeping the back side of a knife across the top. Never pack or tamp down the flour. If you want to add a little something to the basic recipe, toss 1 1 / 4 cup of toasted, chopped pecans into the dry ingredients before adding the buttermilk. We generally end up needing an additional 2 to 6 tablespoons buttermilk. Just go easy so you don't end up with a soggy dough.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, and saute the sliced onions in the butter over medium to high heat for about 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the stock, salt, and pepper, and boil gently for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a tray, and bake them for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are nicely browned. Divide the toast among the bowls, and sprin kle 1/4 cup of cheese into each bowl. When the stock and onions have cooked for 15 minutes, pour the soup into the bowls, filling each to the top. Sprinkle on the remainder of the cheese, dividing it among the bowls and taking care not to push it down into the liquid. Press the cheese around the rim or lip of the bowls, so it adheres there as it cooks and the crust does not fall into the liquid. Arrange the soup bowls on a baking sheet, and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a glorious brown, rich crust has devel oped on top. Serve hot right out of the oven.

lisher James Lawrence, who hired her as an administrative assistant at Harrowsmith Country Life — “I was a terri ble secretary,” she admits cheerfully — and then tapped her to be his food editor when he launched Eating Well maga zine in Charlotte in 1990. He also brought in Estabrook as top editor, launching a profes sional partnership with M artin that would eventually turn romantic. M anagem ent changes led the three o f them to leave Eating Well to found the Shelburne publishing company Chapters Books in late 1991. W hen H oughton Mifflin pur chased the company in 1996, both M artin and Estabrook were hired to work in the cookbook division. (Estabrook no longer works for the pub lisher; Lawrence relaunched Eating Well last summer as a quarterly publication funded by regional investors, accord ing to Business People Vermont magazine.) For the first six years o f her stint w ith H oughton Mifflin, M artin lived in the Boston exurb o f Marblehead. But she hated the sprawl, so she worked out an arrangement that allowed her to work a few days a week in Boston and live in Vermont. Last year, ,she and Esta brook moved into their white stone 1780 house in Ferrisburgh with its vi#w o f open fields in front and a small pond and gardens out back. In a separate building a few steps away, M artin has her home office and Estabrook keeps his chicken coop, hom e to 15 hens and 17 heritage turkeys — “a num ber that’s dwindling fast,” M artin says. “Thanksgiving is drawing nigh.”

T h at’s why cookbook editors pair most chefs w ith writers who not only help shape the chef’s personal story, but also adapt the recipes for civilian use according to “a set o f rigid rules.” For instance, the ingre dients have to be listed in cooking order. T h at sounds simple, but it’s a crucial hedge against confusion. As M artin points out, “People know far less about cooking than they used to.” I see M artin’s editing work firsthand when we leave the kitchen, and the increasingly fragrant soup, for a brief trip to her office. Amidst the organized clutter, the latest chapter in Ruth Reichl’s Gourmet cookbook is lying on a desk, page after page marked w ith yellow Post-Its asking for changes such as: “Preheat oven to 350°, not Preheat the oven to 350°.” In cookbooks, con sistency is king.

But as an experienced cook, M artin recognizes when a recipe doesn’t sound right; in fact, she replaced the first co writer of A quavit because she didn’t think the recipes had been tested adequately. Sometimes, she winds up cooking a dish herself simply because it appeals to her, and her experience with it becomes a deciding factor (see “N othing But the Best” sidebar). You’d think this kind o f close, attentive work would require infinite patience, but M artin claims to be “extremely impa-

A technical engineer, Simsa designed the Burlington tea room sight unseen, based on online drawings and pictures. Judging from his Czech cre ations, some o f which resemble mosques or chapels, the cozy Bank Street space will soon be transformed into a scented sip ping’ sanctuary. An elevated section o f the room welcomes the casual floor-sitting set. “Coffee is about getting a boost,” says French-accented Larocque, who speaks for his partner in excellent English. “Tea is more relaxing.

T he Vermont Food Venture Center (VFVC) was founded in 1996 by the Economic Development Council o f N orthern Vermont, a St. Albans-based nonprofit that serves the states six n orth ernm ost counties and recognizes the gour m et m arkets potential for growth and employment. “Food processing is the sec ond-largest source o f m anufacturing jobs in Vermont, behind electronics,” says the C enters project director, Brian Norder. “If you have 100 specialty-food operations, w ith three or four people each, that’s a Husky plant!” »

M itchell’s company is one of some 30 specialty-food businesses that come here each year to test, store, chop, bake, freeze, fill and ship their products. From Ethiopian hot pastes to caramel creams, the fruits of their labors fill specialty-food shelves in stores from coast to coast. And their ideas might have died on the vine if it hadn’t been for “incubation” time at the VFVC. “It’s a phenomenal place,” says Colchester’s Joe Forziati, who spends about two days a m onth here preparing his N onna Luna pasta sauces. “I didn’t have a clue how to go about it — like testing pH levels for shelf stability — before.” Indeed, the Center’s 3000-square-foot dream kitchen is like a i

Willy W onka factory for chefs, with 60-quart H obart mixers, a bath tub-sized pasta cooker and two Blodgett ovens that can accommo date 30 trays o f granola each. A state-of-the-art fruit processor stems elderberries and cores baked apples. Users share the space; diced veg etables, cartons of eggs and peeled garlic chill in the walk-in cooler, while bags o f pureed squash sit in the blast freezer, which flash-freezes foods with temperatures o f minus-20 degrees Fahrenheit. T he place is a tantalizing resource for anyone with a serious interest in starting or growing a specialty-food business in Vermont. A nd it helps to have a head for math. T he global market o f U.S. foods is $4 trillion, and a new product is launched every 20 m in utes, according to the book Developing N ew Food Products fo r a Changing Marketplace. But new ventures are risky: It can cost between $33,000 and $100,000 annually for three years to get a small gourm et operation off the ground. Industrial kitchen equip m ent can cost up to $10,000. But here at the Center, after an initial free consultation, clients pay just $25 an hour for use o f the equipm ent. A nd every three hours paid include two hours o f help from Andrew Czeck. “T he VFVC has m eant the world to my business,” says M itchell, who began cooking sauces in 1999 after a bum per crop o f cayenne peppers appeared in his Hyde Park garden. “Between the start-up inform ation and guidance, industry resources and afford able rental, it would have been tough w ithout them .” T he help provided by the VFVC seems to be paying off: W hile nationally more than 90 percent o f new product-introductions fail, 70 percent o f the C enter’s clients, past and present, are still in busi ness. T heir stories are on display upstairs in the wood-paneled, office: River Run sauces in glass whiskey flasks, sacks o f M oo-fin mix, M apled N u t maple-sugar almonds, Hillside Lane Farm’s Maple Passions body syrups — in a busty bottle that Czeck says is “real popular around Valentine’s Day.” O ne wom an cooks greentom ato chutney as a hobby; one guy comes in to make cases o f bar»

And then there are those like Moosewood Hollow’s Claudia Clark, the Plainfield-based cre ator o f infused maple syrups who has landed her products on the pages o f The N ew York Times. . . The Center is busy all the time from mid-May through early December, accommodat ing an average of two businesses each day. During the slow sea son, Czeck conducts a “once-amonth-cooking” program, dur ing which busy professionals can prepare 20 nights’ worth of food, from meatloaf to pista chio-encrusted halibut, in a sin gle day and then freeze it for later consumption. The C enter’s kitchen has seen surprisingly few disasters or failures. Pipes have burst, a bottle o f ketchup has explod ed, and one poor fellow acci dentally poured 10 gallons of homemade honey down the drain when he forgot to close a valve on the kettle. As for the products: maybe an overly acidic bean dip here, a watery blueberry jam there. “And we’ve had a couple ones that are real nose turners,” says Norder. “Some o f the mari nades that people are con vinced are great and you taste it and think, ‘Ugh! W ho’d put that on anything?”’

producing at the Food Venture Center, they often test out products at a smaller kitchen at the N ortheast Center for Food Entrepreneurship (NECFE), which is housed at the University o f Vermont’s Carrigan Hall, part o f the nutrition and food-sciences departm ent. A partnership between UVM and Cornell University, N E C FE also allows Food Venture Center clients access to food-science services, some o f which are provided at no cost. Conducting a brief tour o f the Burlington facility one recent afternoon, N order pulls open a large refrigerator to reveal a half-dozen goat legs lined up like the Rockettes in a Christmas spectacular. “They make this in Lombardy, Italy,” he says, pulling out a leg for an appreciative whiff. “It’s called violini d i capra because they tuck it under their chin, like a violin, to carve. Tastes like super-rich prosciutto.” Pride o f Vermont, a group o f goat and sheep producers, is testing out goat hams as a potential entry to the U.S. market. In an adjacent room, fat cylinders o f cheese glisten from metal bins; a three-day advanced cheesemaking work shop is in session — one o f many hands-on learning expe riences NECFE offers to bud ding entrepreneurs.

seminars. At one such recent gathering at Carrigan Hall, three New York college students wanted tips on selling their secret “vodka sauce” (actually made with another liquor), while Cameryne Kelly of Shelburne sought new outlets for her chocolate-filled pastries, called “Little Treasures.” Kath leen O ’Shea, who’s opening up a new shop near Okemo, shared her dream to become the Ben & Jerry’s of soup. Sid Das o f New Hampshire flipped through charts showing the possible mar ket for his Indian sauces. Considering the success rate i o f N EC FE and th£ Vermont Food Venture Center, it’s a good bet some o f their special ty foods will one day be staring back at you from a local gro cery-store display. But which ones? “It’s hard to predict ^the trends,” says Norder. “We’re seeing growth in Indian, and African has a huge potential.” According to Czeck, salsa pro duction has cooled off in the past few years. Maple is perpet ually one o f the most popular ingredients, and even Jeff Mitchell has added a touch o f maple to his new roasted apple sauce, to roll out in early 2004. Some Vermont specialty foods have grown from “good potential” to “award-winning.” Last m onth, Jeff M itchell’s Rancho Ancho sauce topped hundreds o f international entries, taking first place in Albuquerque, New Mexico’s annual Scovie Awards — sonamed for W ilbur Scoville, who pioneered a rating scale for spicy foods. W hile M itchell’s competitors concoct near-lethal elixirs with novelty labels that end up as collectibles, he focus es on creating condim ents that will land in the belly, in liberal doses. His bottles are larger than most and the graphics are subdued. “There are shops that won’t carry my stuff because it won’t burn you or kill you, and because o f the bottles,” he says. “T he label is a high-end, arty thing rather than someone’s ass on fire.” ® *

arty Pottenger had me at hello. Actually, she had me before hello. Because the first thing you do as an audience member at Abundance, the five-actor performance piece she brought to FlynnSpace last weekend, is fill out a short form, anonymously, that asks you to state your income, your savings and what you spend your money on. I knew that Abundance was about people’s attitudes towards money. Pottenger has been traveling around the country talking to billionaires and minimum-wage workers, including two visits this year to Burlington, and her interviewees’ responses are inte grated into her script. So I guess I should have been prepared to answer a few questions myself. But faced with having to assess the facts o f my economic life in public, I panicked. Wait, I don’t w ant to write this down! I don’t even know the answers! B ut I should know! Or m aybe l don’t w ant to know? I don’t w ant to do the calculations where people can see the answers? I finally gave up and scrawled: “I have no idea. T hat tells you som ething.” It certainly told me som ething. Even before the show started, Pottenger’s project had m ade me face up to her central thesis: T h at the subject o f m oney in Am erica is laden w ith fear, sham e and confu sion, and it m ight be a good thing for the country if we figured out why. This is the second o f M arty Pottenger s pieces to pass through Burlington. I didn’t see City Water Tunnel #3, her one-woman show about the construction o f th e largest public-works project in the W estern Hemisphere, but its clear that her * amalgams o f theater and oral history depend greatly on her actors’ versatili'S M

two, three, even four roles apiece with no costume changes, and it’s to their great credit that each character is so fully realized. You leave the theater thinking you’ve seen a whole lot more than five people onstage. Several narratives thread their way through the three — yes, three! — acts. The most consistently affecting one follows a series o f group encounter-sessions similar to Pottenger’s workshops, in which attendees discuss questions such as, “W hat is the greediest thing you have ever done?”

Walker), an African-American woman working for peace and justice causes, moy<?s ft-Qm bitterness, to a rousing declaration o f hope — and an exhor tation to everyone to come out of their financial closets and admit, “I am a greedy bastard!” June’s explosion into evangelism doesn’t seem forced; though it’s not likely to have happened in a group session, it feels spontaneous, and it’s funny, too. O ther moments reveal the hand o f the playwright too overtly. Pottenger adm itted in a post-show discussion that there were never any

the course o f the piece, except that Laz becomes more and more vicious and Job more and more stoic. The heavy-handed setup aside, though, the exchanges between the two men feature some o f Pottenger’s most pungent writing, especially a memorable exegesis by Lazarus on the essentially fictional nature o f money. From time to time, Laz also clicks through a private slide show o f his own art collection, which allows for some sharp juxtapositions, such as Jasper Johns’ American flag next to “George W ashington Crossing the

Faced with having to assess the facts of my economic life in public, I panicked. Wait, I don’t want to write this down! I don’t even know the answers! T he actors play composites o f real people, their words drawn from both workshop transcripts and text written by Pottenger, but they’re no less spe cific because o f that. In fact, these are the freshest and most telling portraits in the entire piece. There’s Anand (the dazzlingly protean T hom Rivera), an Indian-AmeFican economist at New York University who can’t make ends meet, and whose drily witty analysis o f his dire financial straits is sim ulta neously painful and hilarious. Especially a long monologue tracing the progress o f his own shit: “Shit is my life, my life is shit.” There’s Patsy, an upper-middleclass housewife drowning in mortgage debt whose nervous laughter disinte grates into tears, and Lizzie, the nononsense Italian woman stricken with cancer who scoffs at Patsy’s pain. (Cary Barker plays both these women in quick succession, and the transfor-

fights in the discussion groups. Maybe that’s why a conflict between Patsy and Evie, a confessed shopaholic played by Walker, feels so m anufac tured. Asked to relinquish a material object she values, Evie sets about cut ting up a Prada shirt, prom pting Patsy to try and pull the garm ent away, screaming, “No! It’s Prada!” T he audience was much more aghast when Patsy announced she was about to cut up her credit cards; we’d just heard how dependent she was on them , so there was something more real at stake than the destruction o f an alleged piece o f designer cloth. Pottenger is also too present in another o f the narrative threads, a running scenario o f an obscenely wealthy wheelchair-bound old man, Lazarus (Joe Gioco), and his taciturn black manservant Job (Herb Downer). T he names alone tell you we’re in symbolic territory here, and

Delaware,” and effectively suggests that everything — our art, our histo ry, our taste — has been taken over and commodified by the rich. There’s a fair o f am ount o f rich bashing in the piece, the Mr. Smithers-esque Lazarus being the most blatant example. Gioco’s other character, a financier and family man nam ed Bradley, shows a lot more potential for further development. T he actor conveys his buttoned-up propriety but also lets us see glimpses o f the decent m an underneath. H e’s mystified by the inequities around him but unwilling to share too m uch o f w hat he has. Bradley is a complex enough char acter, so it seems a little too pat at the end o f the play when the illegal im m igrant H ector (Rivera) points accusingly at him . Sure, rich white m en are the chief beneficiaries o f an

inequitable system, but up to that point the message o f Abundance seemed to have been much more radical — that in fact we’re all greedy bastards, the Hectors as well as the Bradleys. A shortcom ing with Bradley, and with most o f the other characters, is that we hear lots about their problems with money but not many details about what they do to earn it. Pottenger’s script names plenty o f jobs, in lists that become a swirl o f words: “I’m a receptionist for $7.25 an h o u r... I fold clothes... I make 600 bucks an hour doing som ething illegal...W e made our money in oceans.. . ” But Pottenger could pay still more attention to the specifics of our everyday work lives — the tasks we complete, the problems we solve, the deals we make. These inform and are informed by our atti tudes about money, and they need light shed on them, too. The closest she gets to a portrait of the daily grind is with the recurring characters of two New York City garbagemen named Sal (played by Rivera) and Jasper (played by Downer). Part comedy team, part masters of ceremonies, they reappear from time to time to read Harper's Indextype lists of economic statis tics. Sometimes they add visu al aids, such as the jars of BBs they use to make a vivid dem onstration of the sound of great wealth. But even more telling are the passages when Sal and Jasper talk about their own lives: Sal is sending his kid to M IT on scholarship. Jasper’s worried about the environ ment, and goads Sal for driv ing an SUV. It’s about as far from the two sewer workers on “The Honeymooners” as you could get, and it’s another instance in which Pottenger seems to be telling us, “Look around you — the guy hauling trash is dealing with the same financial issues as the lawyer. M oney is a great equalizer as well as a great separator: Talk about it.” O ne statistic certainly got the FlynnSpace audience looking around. Sal and Jasper reported that, based on the forms turned in at the beginning the show, the total w orth o f the 120 people attending the show that night was $34 million. Pottenger says the average skewed m uch higher here because she invit ed her Burlington intervie wees to attend the perform ance. As w ith other cities, these included people who were very wealthy as well as the working poor. W ho was who? Looking around, it was impossible to know for sure, and Pottenger makes sure everyone’s identity is kept confidential. If they w ant to come out about their true financial identities, they will — b ut in their own time. ®

[A SAMPLE] The Roach'Boy was ort%isflaynn the box for four hours at a time, from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m., and then again from 6:30 to 10:30. Between 5:30 and 6:30 he went home, took a shower, put on a fresh wetsuit, ate, came back to the Fright Factory, and got regunked for the second show. "If dinner's something like spaghetti, I'm apt to be a pretty sloppy eater," he told Annie this one time, "but the nights I'm working, Mom doesn't rag on me about my table manners, like talking with my mouth full. She thinks the roaches like it if I've slopped a little something down my front. That'll be a nice change for them from the same old gunk,' she says." Spending those eight hours in the box gave the Roach Boy lots of time to think. He devoted much of it to a simpleminded game he thought up and called "What if...?" In it he asked himself such questions as, What if, instead of being a little Honda, our fam ily car was a tank, and I could drive it? or What if we were playing basketball in gym, and I had four long arms? or What if I p u t the keyboard o f my word processor on the floor o f my sister's hamster cage, and they printed out a ton o f nonsense and one copy o f each o f my final exams? In answering those questions, he'd imagine a lot of different outcomes that'd have one thing in common: He, the hero in each one, would have a ball. But certain kinds of "What if...?" questions were... unsuit able for use inside a glass-sided box while under public scrutiny, he quickly learned. What if Cameron Diaz and I were ship wrecked on a desert island? would be one such question.

teenage terrorism .” Sure enough, a mockery o f a trial — it reads like som ething out o f Lewis Carroll — results in five-day jail sentences for Annie and Arby, w ho’s found in contem pt o f court for telling the judge his ruling sucks. And no sooner have they been released than their parents pack them off to the Back to Basics Center. It’s a setting readers will be tem pted to compare with the evil survival school in Holes, Louis Sachar’s award-winning 1999 novel and later a Disney movie. T hroughout her ordeals, Annie keeps Primo — in the

In contrast to these teenaged paragons of goodness, just about every adult in Hard T im es is inept, corrupt or self-centered — or all of the above. bullying. It’s unclear w hether they’re the kids’ actual words or approxim ations by the author. Either way, the variety o f these voices, and o f the tortures they describe, gives the story a sense o f authenticity that distinguish es it from the usual pre-teen “problem ” novel. It’s eye-opening to read about a girl who talks a socially isolated classmate into having a party, and then convinces everyone on the guest list not to attend. D itto the passage describing a small kid who is repeatedly throw n against a locker by a m uch larger stu dent, only to scramble back up to his torm entor each tim e and taunt him into doing it again. T he author’s broad definition o f bullying ranges from H itler — referenced in the characters’ classroom discussions o f A nne Frank — to catty girls who ostracize a new student through verbal put-downs. T he book describes a wide assortm ent o f characters, but it’s not big on depth. A nd the end ing feels artificially orchestrated — although, to W ilhelm ’s cred it, his crum m iest characters don’t experience last-m inute, feel-good conversions. T hey’re just shown for w hat they are and left th at way. W h at will the fifth-to-$eventh-graders get from The Revealers? T h a t it’s better to use words rather than fists, after all. A nd th at at an age w hen peer acceptance is everything, the best defense really is a tight group o f dependable pals.

ered a classic o f the genre. In it, five misbehaving kids are sent to a boarding school by their parents in order to have them killed. Thom pson creates a sim ilarly surreal scenario in his new H ard Tim e, which blends social satire, fantasy, psychological realism and adventure and serves it up w ith a whole lotta ’tude. Fifteen-year-old Annie Ireland is a good kid who feels so oppressed by her parents’ expectations that she compares her life to “doing hard tim e.” Like all the girls in her Life Skills class, she’s been assigned a baby doll to keep with her and

turning o ut dark-hum ored young-adult novels for more than 20 years. His 1983 The G rounding o f Group 6 is consid-

“care for” around the clock. W hen her house catches fire, she awakens to a strange voice urging her to escape “before our real identities are ascertainable only by means o f dental records.” T he voice turns out to belong to Pentagruel Primo, a forest troll w ho’s been trapped inside her doll’s inert plastic body by a magical colleague with a taste for practical jokes. A nnie’s best friend Arby works at a local am usem ent park as T he Roach Boy, a job that involves lying in a glass box while hordes o f hungry cockroaches feast on the “gen- > uine under-the-refrigerator gunk” th at’s smeared all over his wetsuit. H e’s also another model citizen. In contrast to these teenaged paragons o f goodness, just about every adult in H ard Tim e is inept, corrupt or self-cen tered — or all o f the above. After the fire, A nnie’s parents park her w ith uncaring relatives while they check themselves into Negative Feedback, a fat farm where clients’ costs are based on how m uch w eight they take off. T he facility’s slo gan: “Let us do liposuction on your assets.” Things go from bad to worse for A nnie w hen a story she writes, about a girl w ho inad vertently kills a teacher and a classmate, is published in the school’s literary magazine. T he local D.A. construes her piece as advocating violence and has her arrested. His motives are purely political. In a recent sur vey, teenage kids were rated “second (after ‘dog poop’ but ahead o f potholes’) as the most unpleasant hazard on the city’s streets.” As A nnie’s courtappointed attorney explains, “People are up to here w ith

form o f her doll — at her side. H e turns out to be a lifesaver in more ways than one. Besides his occasional m orale-boosting spells, heart-to-heart chats with the wise little guy prove thera peutic. And, despite her initial skepticism about the assign m ent, being responsible for a completely helpless creature affirms A nnie’s sense o f herself as “a kind, considerate, respectful-of-all-living-things kind o f kid.” For all its skewering of the adult world, H ard Time’s bottom line is wholesome and idealistic. In fact, Annie and Arby seem almost too good to be true. Principled, compassionate, courageous and sensible, they risk the ridicule of their peers — and their lives — in order to res cue the counselors they detest. At one point, finding themselves completely alone, naked and sharing a sleeping bag, they decide against having sex because they don’t have any condoms. T hom pson laces his sm artaleck prose w ith references to popular culture: Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food, H arry Potter and Elton John, am ong others, make appearances. T his kind o f detail runs the risk o f making H ard Tim e dated sooner rather than later. Some o f T hom pson’s quips fall flat, as w hen the school director tells the kids, “You’re trying to suggest to me that, since you’ve been here, both o f you have added value faster than a dot-com back in ’99 to 2000.” But those few false notes hardly dim inish the wicked fun the book offers, especially w hen the jokes come at the expense o f censorship, English class, SATs and other institutional bullies that make up high schoolers’ axis o f evil. ®

5TH ANNUAL PRINT PROJECT: Prints by

E X H IB IT "Layers/New Paintings," works by Gail Salzman. Doll-Anstadt Gallery, Burlington. Through November.

ARTW O RK "Levitate" by Gail Salzman PHOTO Marc Awodey

ail Salzman describes her work by what it is not in the state ment accompanying her current show, “Layers/New Paintings,” at Burlington’s Doll-Anstadt Gallery. “My paint ings are not abstract, nor do they directly represent,” writes the Fairfield artist. But it may be cruel to ask someone to define his or her work; as German Expressionist Emil Nolde wrote, an artist should “work instinctively and paint as natu rally as he breathes or walks.” Salzman seems to work in just that way, and her vibrant hues surely would have made Nolde smile in approval. “Layers/New Paintings” consists of 12 fairly large oils, seven smaller works from her “Passages” series, and seven very small mixed-media studies for the larger works. “Migration” is a 20-by-24-inch oil whose tiny doppelganger is posted in the studies group. Both pieces have semi transparent layers o f ethereal color that exist in a well-struc tured composition. “Clearing” and its study are nearly square pieces with a broad golden-yellow area surrounded by red, patches of green and bands o f indigo at the upper and lower edges of the picture plane. Salzman is disciplined about assiduously restating her stud ies. Little is left to chance in the larger works, at least when it comes to color. Her use of line, however, is always appropriately adjusted in the transposition. Both versions of “Clearing” have nice passages of running paint that differ according to medium. W hether or not they began as studies, Salzman’s “Passages” pieces seem more intuitive. And they have a certain veracity of scale that might be lost if the roughly 8-by-8-inch paintings were reduced or enlarged. A nice pair o f them hung together vertically has broad clouds of color in crimson fields that might fall apart if they were larger. Another vertical pair con sists of simple, solid shapes of red, green and white; the hues are outlined in blue and hang in fields o f black layered over red. They are some o f the most graphically minimal works in the show, and powerful in their simplicity. There are two impressive diptychs in the exhibition: “Full Fathom” and “Levitate.” While a full fathom is six feet of water, to fully fathom suggests complete understanding. Salzman

emphasizes the second half of the double entendre, although the image does seem like an abstracted pond surface. Lighter values are grouped toward the top on the two panels, and forms become progressively smaller, implying perspective. The spatial relationships of “Full Fathom” are typical of Salzman’s neither wholly abstract nor fully naturalistic approach. “Levitate” does lean towards the abstract. The panels are dominated by a vibrant oval of bright red. While the piece also contains naturalistic greens, blues and corn-stubble yel low, that red oval hovering over translucent grays makes the painting. Think Alexander Calder blowing a giant red smoke ring over a frozen pond in Franklin County. Rather than define herself by what she is not, perhaps

TALKS/ EVENTS "REMBRANDTS SELF-PORTRAITS AND THE SOCIAL STATUS OF THE ARTIST": A lunchtim e ta lk by UVM assistant a rt professor Kelley H elm stutler-DiD io. Fleming Museum, UVM, B urlin g to n, 656-0750. November 19, 12:15 p.m.

Rather than define her self by what she is not, perhaps Salzman should just stand up and shout, "I am an Expressionist!" Salzman should just stand up and shout, “I am an Expressionist! Color, rhythm and guts are all that matter!” The Doll-Anstadt Web site suggests that Salzman “invites the viewer to explore, to feel and to discover the relationship between art and nature.” Maybe artists should stop inviting viewers to do anything other than buy their work. Let viewers be grabbed by their throats for a change. Artists’ hard-won discoveries ought to be hog-tied and tossed at the viewers feet. Salzman may be on the verge of claiming that kind of power. One of the strengths of her work is that it continually evolves. And if it becomes a wild beast, she should not try to tame it. ® .• ....... ■- ,

18 WINTERS A pre-global-warming Vermont truism asserts that if flatlanders can survive their first Green Mountain winter, they'll never leave. Jeneane Lunn is about to go through her 18th, and she's marking that long residency with a retrospective of her works at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Burlington. Lunn may be best known for her pastels, but "John Deere at Settlement Farm" (pictured) is a medium-scale oil with plenty of fat, impasto paint.

THE CREW MAN SHOW

Weir helms one of film history's finest seafaring sagas.

hich long-dormant genre, I wonder, will Russell Crowe choose to resurrect next? W ith Gladiator, the actor breathed new life into the old-fashioned Roman epic. Now, with a little help from fellow Australian Peter Weir, he does the same for the swashbuckling high-seas adven ture. This guy could get a movie about giant radioactive bugs nominated for an Oscar. Based on two of the 20 novels Patrick O ’Brian authored chronicling the exploits of charismatic British Naval Captain Jack Aubrey, Master and Commander reveals new dimensions of the Academy Award winner.' Where his best-known portrayals have been brood ing, for the most part Crowe’s latest is drawn from a far more playful palette. The film is set 200 years ago against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. Crowe is head officer aboard the H M S Surprise, which, early on, is caught unaware off the coast o f Brazil and near ly blasted into a billion toothpicks by a much larger French vessel that emerges through a bank of fog. By the time the craft is seaworthy once again, its attack er, the Acheron, has had time to sail halfway around the world. So that’s exactly the course Aubrey sets, deter mined both to intercept it — a feat requiring no small degree of maritime mastery in itself — and destw y 'it,

despite the vessels vastly superior speed, size and firepower. Weir’s film features an explosive open and close. His challenge was to conjure equal drama out of the Surprise's seem ingly endless voyage and daily life aboard the boat during it. The skill he brings to bear is as extraordinary in its way as any marshaled by Aubrey as he zigzags the oceans, rides out apocalyptic storms, maintains a tight but fairly light hearted crew, and outmaneuvers adver saries. I doubt that this historically accurate a depiction of life aboard such a craft has ever been brought to the screen. A float ing kingdom half the length of a football field, the Surprise is a vivid character itself, with its great cannon room, goats, hundreds of hands (with wine and rum enough to keep their glasses perpetually spilling over), cloud-scraping masts and captain’s quarters that double as a dining area and concert hall. Aubrey relaxes by playing his violin to the accompaniment of his ship surgeon’s cello. The relationship between Aubrey and the doctor, played brilliantly by Paul Bettany (Crowe’s imaginary roommate in A Beautiful M ind), is among the pic ture’s great pleasures. A keen naturalist, Bettany’s character has adopted the life of a seaman solely because it affords him the chance to travel the world and dis

cover unknown insect and animal species. In military and political matters, he disagrees .with his old friend fre quently. In their give and take, the two reveal much about themselves. W ith one an intellectual and the other a man of flesh, blood and action, the dynamic predicts another well-known friendship between officers aboard another wellknown ship — the Enterprise. Though let’s hope resurrecting the Star Trek screen franchise is not what’s next for Russell Crowe. That would be a waste of a talent that seems to grow in power and complexity with each new role. The performance he gives here is a nuanced marvel: shooting the breeze with his men or ordering one of them lashed; making an insipid pun or devising an inspired plan; giving one young sailor his first death-defying assignment (“Wasn’t that fun?”) or saying a few words in remembrance of one less lucky; carving the officer’s dinner bird or savagely hack ing into an enemy. In every scene Crowe fills the screen; every moment he’s on bears the print of something remarkable. If the seafaring saga is a forgotten form, it’s only because filmmakers have forgotten how to make them. W ith the rousing, witty, gorgeous and impressive- * Iy human Master and Commander, actor and director remind one and all not just how it’s done, but why. ®

Personal Politics

I forgive you and you forgive m e.” Wait a m inute, what about “love means never having to say you’re sorry?” T he more significant question, however, is how the adulterous pair remains clandestine for so long. W hen Madeleine finally learns about Rickies liaison with Dinah, she and her m other (Eleanor Bron) con spire to drive the cheating couple apart. Everyone is trapped by society’s strictures. If this angst were fast-forwarded into contem porary times, per ceptions would probably be quite dif ferent. Romantic triangles are still with us, but few people think o f D-IV -O-R-C-E as forbidden fruit. Adapted from Rosamond Leh m ann’s 1953 novel, The Echoing Grove, the film dodges overwrought emotions only by virtue o f its talented cast.

obody does simmering rebellion better than Helena Bonham Carter, particu larly in period costume. T he English actress, who first made a splash 18 years ago in A Room W ith a View, has consistently chosen idiosyncratic roles in a career that seems to ignore Hollywood celebrity. For The Heart of Me — playing at M ontpelier’s Savoy T heater on November 22 and 23 as part o f the W orld Cinem a Series — she’s once again a feisty young woman ahead o f her time. Bonham Carter’s character, Dinah, is a bohemian free spirit from a proper, wealthy London family glimpsed before, during and after World War II. The reserved Madeleine (Olivia Williams) hosts lavish dinner parties, to which she invites upper-class twits as potential suitors for her unattached sister.

Dinah's lonely sojourn in the south of France, where she eventually goes to hide her "delicate condition," is especially melodramatic. Their collective subtlety bumps up against a somewhat contrived script by Lucinda Coxon and the sentimental flourishes o f director Thaddeus O ’Sullivan. Dinah’s lonely sojourn in the south o f France, where she eventu ally goes to hide her “delicate condi tion,” is especially melodramatic, in a W uthering Heights sort o f way. While Dinah endures exile on the Gallic equivalent of the wild Yorkshire

Here’s the catch: M adeleine’s hus band Rickie, portrayed by Paul Bettany o f A B eautiful M in d fame, is unhappy in the marriage and secretly sm itten with Dinah. She’s equally besotted. It’s the old soul mate thing. The two in-laws recklessly suc cum b to their m utual passion while blissed out on W illiam Blake’s poetry. O ne line in particular becomes their mantra: “And throughout all eternity,

On the following weekend, November 29 and 30, the World Cinem a Series selection is Divine Intervention. After the film’s release in 2002, the Academy o f M otion Picture Arts and Sciences rejected it for Oscar consideration because Palestine, listed in the credits as the country o f origin, is not generally rec ognized as an independent country. Arab-American groups cried foul; waivers have been granted in the past for art-house fare from Taiwan, H ong Kong and Puerto Rico, all o f which lack official sovereignty.

Previously reviewed in this column, writer-director-actor Elia Suleiman’s compelling tragicomedy about lovers stranded by the Middle East morass is now one of 55 contenders for the 2003 foreign-language Oscar. Apparently, the regulations have been changed so that movies from places like the West Bank and Gaza Strip are exempted from the non-nationhood rule. D ivine Intervention, which earned two top prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, is certainly controversial. Suleiman stars as a sad sack reminis cent o f Buster Keaton who observes fellow Palestinians subjected to daily hum iliation from the Israeli Army. He takes revenge through gentle acts of defiance, such as sending a small bal loon adorned with an image o f Yasser Arafat sailing over “enemy” troops, who wonder if they should shoot it down. T he more provocative scenes depict Mtffrzv-influenced fantasies about improbable, albeit violent, retal iation. Suleiman made his minimalist fea ture before construction began on the massive security fence, a dubious pro tection against terrorism that isolates noncom batants just trying to live their lives. This barrier surely means that the indignities he chronicled are m ul tiplying. @

While you're savoring the paragraphs below, keep an eye open for the titles of 17 motion pictures that we've woven into the literature... The tuxedo I rented for my high school prom was shiny and pink, with a floral pattern woven into the fabric. I asked the guy at the shop if he had anything else, but he said, “Tomorrow’s prom night, dummy. W hat do you think?” I always seemed to run out of time when it came to things like that. There was something funny in the cut of the suit, too. It made me look like Willard Scott. 1 wasn’t sure how to deal with the problem. The next afternoon I called Sylvia from the phone booth on the corner. “I’ll be there at seven!” she said as soon as she heard my voice. , It’s been thirteen years since I stood her up. I left for basic training the next week and haven’t seen or spoken to her since. Sometimes, I put on that stolen pink outfit, switch on the radio and pretend to dance with Sylvia the way we would have on that night. [ - By the way, that’s what got me thrown out of boot camp.

ON THE FLY The Fly Dance Company, writes the H o u ston Press, "a in 't no ordinary

lacy-fingered, twinkle-toed dance troupe." The all-male movers have been breakdancing through the confines of classic choreography since 1999, when they brought their modern moves from the streets to the stage. The troupe keeps th in gs fresh by fusing highenergy hip-hop-inspired maneuvers with elements of classical and modern dance. They shake th in gs up by throw ing an unexpected Debussy or Vivaldi com position into the mix of funkier music by Jam es Brown and Michael Jackson. Com prising five tough-but-talented youngsters, som e of whom were formerly at-risk, the com pany has a strong com m itm ent to com m unity outreach and has worked with youth in cities th roughout the country. Now th at's a movement with a m ission.

After going on "indefinite hiatus," Claypool busied himself with Oysterhead and other side projects. But the band is back together now, and ready to rock.

Radio Bean's kid sister, Gezellig, is the newest little bump on the Burlington club map. Owned and operated by Bean proprietor Lee Anderson, the joint is located in the former residence of the Old Spokes Home in Burlington's North End. A "build it as you go" project, the small, hardwoodfloored room is abuzz with creativity. During the day, local painters use it as a studio, and finished work is displayed on the walls. Much of the space, including the bar and seating area, is still under construction. Yet Gezellig already exudes a charmingly artistic, community feel. Performances are rare so far, but that will change when the place is finished. Also, Gezellig will be used a a studio to record tracks from local bands — a series of three compi lations will be the inaugural releases on Radio Bean Records. Rarely a cover charge. Smoking is not allowed.

reviewthis CLASS CLOWN, WRONG SIDE EP (Self-released, EP-CD) In just six songs, Rutland's best pop-punk band, Class Clown, take their sound to a whole new level. I don't know whether to credit their New York City pro ducer Marc Jordan or the band members themselves for the exceptionally professional sound quality, but

either way, these young guys sound much more mature. That said, how mature is any pop-punk

band? The radio-friendly songs here still address

(Dangerfive Records, split CD)

familiar topics of alienation and beat-downs in a high school context. Instead of coming across as young turks learning the ropes, the Clown now sound closer to popular "punks" like Good Charlotte. Another good reference point would be Boxcar Racer, or the really good Blink-182 songs. The band is tight, the sound is big and polished in the way that modem radio punk tends to be these days. The mix of frustration and positive messages provides for some anthemic choruses, too. Check these lines from the fantastic "Jurassic Park": " If you don't like the music/don't listen to the band/and don't hate me 'cause I'm in the band/that plays the kind of music/that you don't want to hear/so let's just get along while we're here." Title track "Wrong Side" is a diamond among diamonds. This EP is proof positive that practice and hard work pay off. I hope these guys have all the success they can handle. Am I obliged to mention that their lead guitar player is 14 and the other three guys are 17? Who cares? Class Clown have graduated from being "pretty good for their age" to being really good, period.

COLIN CLARY

Dialogue for Three and The Interior are both in the vanguard of a refreshed Burlington indie-rock scene. In recent years many local groups were pilfering from jambands or twisting their chops around beat-heavy jazz concoctions, but lately a veritable deluge of artists has popped up with innovative, fresh takes on good oC rock 'n ' roll. Simultaneously, in the past couple years a small but dedicated batch of local labels — including Icebox Records and North of January — has emerged, dedicated to giving area musicians a chance to record inexpensively. The availability and cost-effectiveness of CDRs has created a new DIY underground — with 3-inch discs taking over from the 7-inch sin gle. Dangerfive Records is one of the largest and most successful of these imprints. With their recent Danger Force Five series, two artists share an EP-length disc. D5's latest package — the third in the series — is a 26-minute, six-track effort from the aforementioned rockers. It's also the debut recording for newcomers Dialogue. The group's three tracks are a great introduction to their post-rock emo-goth sound. "Vs." starts things off with a ringing guitar lead, walls of fuzz and a steady kick-drum. The spoken-sung vocals of the verse break into a cathartic chorus with even louder gui tars and haunting female harmonies. "Number One Pop Song" is a slightly chilled version of the sound-heard on the open er. Hushed girl/boy vocals, subdued riffing and a submerged keyboard lick give the tune an ethereal quality that plays well against the angsty strain of the chorus. Instead of fully rocking out, the band alters the song's dynamics through subtle shifts of instru mentation. Damaged-guitar trickery slowly drifts into the picture, sneaking, not explod ing, into the piece. "Bright," the band's final cut, is a muddy, lo-fi blast that recalls old-school indie heroes such as Sebadoh. Powerful guitars and delicious hooks make for an excellent closer. Dialogue's three tunes are little more than an appetizer, but one that's quite mouth-watering. The Intericfffill their trio of tunes with the same writhing, manic roek that fueled their self-titled Dangerfive debut. "Brand Wew Head" is all cocky swagger and brutal gui tar assault. "Underground Man" conveys a more patient mood, with quiet introspection, aching vocals and a soaring peak. Closing the disc is the album's highlight, a live version of "Crushing Bugs." Bruisedsounding vocals stretch, guitars chop chords into twisted shards, over the steel-strong backbone of the rhythm section. The Interior's work alone is reason enough to pick up this little disc. Yet this is clear ly Dialogue for Three's release, as they work wonders with their first recorded material.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): To pre pare you for your upcoming encounters with inexpressible mystery, I offer you the words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn from his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. “Not every thing has a name,” he said. “Some things lead us into a realm beyond words... to rev elations unattainable by reason. It is like that small mirror in fairy tales — you glance in it and what you see is not yourself; for an instant you glimpse the Inaccessible, where no magic carpet can take you. And the soul cries out for it.”

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): “Do one thing that scares you every day,” counsels novelist Kurt Vonnegut. T hat’s easy for a risk-loving Scorpio like him to ■ say, but is it good advice for you Tauruses, who typically thrive on peace and safety? At most other times, I would say no; I’d suggest you force yourself to face your fears no more than once a month. But the coming weeks are shaping up as a depar ture from your usual rhythms. You can do a lot to ensure your long-term peace and safety through regular encounters with unpredictable experiences that will scare up your hidden reserves of courage.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): At one point in Steve Martins novella, The Pleasure o f M y Company, the main charac ter Daniel says: “The real me and a false one were competing against each other.” San Francisco Chronicle reviewer David Kipen comments, “You could easily read the whole novella as the story of this com petition between real and false Daniels.” I think we can apply a similar description to your adventures in the coming weeks, Gemini: The deep, genuine version of you will be struggling for supremacy with the artificial, fragmented one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Dear Mr. Brezsny: I’m a feminist in a post-feminist era, a warrior poet when poetry is considered irrelevant in war and a lone wolf amidst yapping coyotes. I’ve been a firefighter, journalist and jan itor — and damn good at all three, not that anybody noticed. My questions are: W hy is my success with men like that of a goat trying to herd trucks? W hy is the only luck I ever have the ‘avoided the falling piano at the last second’ kind? Are there any cake raffle winnings in my future? — Anti-Heroic Crab.” Dear Anti-Heroic: The mournful conditions you described will take a turn for the better when you devote a concentrated time to becoming emotionally self-suffi cient. During that period, vow to draw all the love you need from either yourself or whatever passes for God or Goddess in your world. Now would be the perfect m om ent to begin.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a psychotherapist and cantadora, “a keeper o f the old stories.” She believes that feeding the soul with nourishing tales is a great healing art. And what constitutes a “nourishing” tale? Her repertoire is filled with myths and fairy tales that “cut fine wide doors in previous blank walls, openings that lead to the dreamland, that lead to love and learning, that lead us back to our own real lives.” I advise you to get some of this good stuff, Leo. Feast on unpre dictable stories that replenish your inno cence and rekindle your sense o f wonder. Estes’ book, Women Who Run W ith the Wolves, has some good ones. Try “Skeleton W oman” or “Sealskin, Soulskin.”

VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

a thousand plants must give up their lives. Is that a worthy sacrifice? Possibly. To make sure your freshly hatched dream will ultimately reach full bloom, at least three of your tired old illusions will have to croak. Is that a worthy sacrifice? Hell, yes. Let the mercy killing begin.

Charlie’s Angels star Cameron Diaz, born under the sign of Virgo, hates to give auto graphs to fans. She’s so notorious that Autograph Collector magazine named her the least approachable celebrity entertainer. Another Virgo luminary, Shannon Elizabeth, was ranked right behind Diaz in her stinginess. To redeem your tribe’s repu tation, I urge you to give away your auto graph to anyone and everyone in the com ing week. Such a generous display would also dovetail nicely with the astrological omens, which suggest you should engage in playful acts that make you feel like a star.

SAGITTARIUS

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Many plants used for prescription drugs origi nate in tropical rainforests. Do their endangered ecosystems therefore harbor other healing herbs that are as yet undis covered? Probably. But a recent study sug gests that weeds growing in easily accessi ble places near human settlements may be an equally important source of medicine. The Journal o f Ethnopharmacology reports that the Highland Mayans of Chiapa “rely almost exclusively on disturbed areas for medicinal plants, even in communities that are adjacent to stands of primary for est.” I offer up this intriguing scenario as an apt metaphor for you in the coming days. The best goodies are more likely to be close at hand in the midst of familiar clutter, not in far-off enclaves o f peace and plenty. (Thanks to www.eurekalert.org for this info.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): “I go through the cannedgoods department of my soul,” mused columnist Jon Carroll, “and I write down how many cubes of spiritual bouil lon I have left.” I suggest you take a sim ilar tack this week, Capricorn. In other words, add a touch o f self-mocking friv olity as you make a profound inventory of your current relationship with the Great Mystery. An<#5be sure to mix in a few wacky, winsome questions with your heartfelt yearning for deeper understand ing. Here’s how Carroll expressed it: “W ho am I? W hy am I here? Is there an entity greater than myself? If there is, how can I get it to like me?

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): To supply the newsprint for the average Sunday edition of The New York Times, about 63,000 trees must die. Is that a wor thy sacrifice? Maybe. To keep your body fueled with caffeine for a year, upwards of

T O U C H S T O N E C E N T E R

<n „ v .

22-Dec. 21): You’re not awakening from a coma or anesthesia; it’s not quite that dramatic. But the effect will be similar. Events you’ve been blind to will sudden ly become visible. You’ll become a mag net for clues you’ve been repelling. Your emotional numbness will recede, allow ing a flood o f feelings to come rushing into your awareness. T he net effect, at least initially, may be confusing: You’ll be filled up with too much information too fast to make sense o f it. But be patient and concentrate on digesting the glut, Sagittarius, and by this time next week the mess will have evolved into a web of fresh insights.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Satan is broke!” declared a recent article in the Weekly World News. “H e’s selling back souls at half price to avoid bankruptcy.” O n the face o f it, this is an am using riff dream ed up by one o f the comic geniuses who writes for the notorious tabloid. But oddly enough, there is a m etaphorical grain o f tru th in it. T he astrological om ens suggest th at a huge w indow o f oppo rtu n ity has opened for those who need redem ption. It is a favorable m om ent for lost souls to find themselves, for black sheep and prodigal sons to return to the fold and for incorrigible troublem akers to m end their ways. I’m letting you know, A quarius, because your tribe, m ore than any o f the o ther signs, is in the best position to facilitate rehabili tations and restorations o f all kinds — both for others and for yourself.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “I’ve finally got my relationship p ro b lem figured o u t,” w rote M elinda, a reader from Philadelphia. “It has been a lifelong, insidious m isunderstanding o f w hat I’m entitled to, com bined w ith a fear o f abandonm ent that has made me grab onto the w rong com p anions.” I bring this testim ony to your atten tio n , Pisces, because I th in k it resonates w ith realizations you’re ready for. T he com ing m onths will be a favorable tim e for you to discern the hidden karm a that has been keeping you from getting the love you want. A good way to begin your search will be to take inventory o f your fear o f abandonm ent and your m isunder standing o f w hat you’re en titled to.

CRUISING WITH A CAR CRITIC

N e s t i n g

I n s t in c t s

rem em ber how I initially discovered th at T h e W ife was going to deliver o u r first child w ithin the next 24 hours: She started scrubbing base boards in our hom e w ith Spic’n’ Span and a toothbrush. I, was rem inded o f this frenetic episode o f pre natal nest-building by the presenters who recently introduced the 2004 M ercury M onterey to the autom otive press. “It’s as m uch a minivan for the growing family,” said John Fitzpatrick, M ercury’s m arketing boss, “as it is for the empty-nesters whose children may have gone but whose lifestyles remain active and diverse.” T h e full-size M onterey is M ercury’s version o f the new Ford Freestar, w hich replaces the venera ble Ford W indstar, now retired after a successful 20-year career. A lthough nearly identical to the Ford, M onterey boasts differences th at im part a distinctive identity. It is plusher and pricier (ranging from $29,995 to $35,525 for three dif ferent trim levels). A nd it incorporates som e spe cial options — front and rear parking sensors; heated and cooled front seats; self-sealing tires — that are o ff lim its to Freestar. T h e safety credentials o f this new m inivan benefit from F o rd ’s recent acquisition o f Volvo. Together, Ford and Volvo engineers have devel o ped a six-airbag arran g em en t th a t n o t only provides im pact pro tectio n for all three rows o f seating, b u t also incorporates roll-over sensors th a t m aintain full inflation o f the side curtains for up to four full revolutions o f the vehicle. Perish the th o u g h t, o f course; b u t in the event o f th e unim aginable, the M onterey/Freestar side curtains serve as b o th bolster cushions and safe ty nets for retaining occupants as securely as possible inside the cabin. As regards the third-row bench, it is a marvel o f functional simplicity. W ith virtually a wave o f the hand, the seat disappears into the floor and reappears again. N o removal o f headrests; no com plicated sequence o f latches; just click, fold, pull — w ith one h and tied behind your back. W h a t’s m ore, th e seat pivots 90 degrees to create a delightful “tailgate sofa” for w atching Jack and Jill at field day. T h e open rear hatch, in this instance, perform s doub le-d u ty as an awning.

Presumably, prospective M onterey buyers will tu rn o u t to be less quirky th an I. T hey will not, on the o th er hand, be any less enam ored o f the h o t-’n’-cold front seats. Let’s p u t it this way: w ith the “C o ld ” selector activat ed, the sensation com pares w ith sitting in a crop o f freshly plucked m int.

LOLA

l o v e

c o u n s e l o r

Dear Lola, The other day my husband and I were reading an advice column together and there was a letter in which a wife was upset with her husband for accepting a couple lap dances as part of a bach elor's party. My husband assured me he'd never do such a thing. But then he said, "Except with you, of course." I sort of giggled and gave him a look th a t meant, "Just you wait." But here's the thing: I don't know what a lap dance is. I went along with it because I wanted to please him, and because I was too embar rassed to admit what I didn't know. Help! The topic hasn't come up since, but when and if it does, I want to be prepared. Ignorant in Irasburg Dear Ignorant, The fact th a t you couldn't ask your husband this question is sad, b u t not atypical. It's hard for lots of people to talk about sex, even w ith their own partners. In lap dancing, th e customer sits on a chair or a couch, clothed, and the performer, who's considerably less clothed, moves suggestively around and ;A' especially against th e customer. Sound like fun? Love, Lola
