Does the word "wannabes," with which you open a paragraph late in your story "The Whole Carruth" [Nov. 6] refer for its subject back to the immediately preceding paragraph? If so, then one would have to infer that the subject is the "many poets who would [not] think of writing a sonnet describing the effects of a hypertrophied prostate." Or did you intend for "wannabes" to refer back two paragraphs? In this case, the subject would be "the little community of writers and friends that I [Budbill] had not known before and haven't known since." While your grammar is indeed confused, your diction is clear. You succeed very well in communicating an unsympathetic arrogance which is the antithesis of poetic feeling and with which Mr. Carruth himself should not be identified.

LET'S HAVE INSTANT RUNOFFS I think one lesson learned in this year's election is how important Instant Runoff Voting will be when we have it. Having independents and alternative parties gives voters more choice, and is good for democracy. However, our antiquated method of voting (vote for one, and the candidate with the most votes wins) can't handle more than two candidates without risking bizarre and undemocratic results, hence the skewed results of this year's elections. When there are several candidates, the one with the most votes might actually be strongly disliked by a large majority of voters. In the recent French presidential election, if Chirac had gotten just slightly fewer votes in the first round of voting, Le Pen (the xenophobic neo-fascist candidate) might have become president with the most votes, if France used our voting system. Fortunately, France uses runoff elections, and in the runoff, 80 percent of the voters united behind Chirac and stopped Le Pen. The near election of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in

was sitting behind a desk, clad in a red-and-black plaid shirt, puffing away on his pipe. It was summer and I was dressed in next-to-nothing. I sat down across from him waiting for the axe to fall. Finally, he spoke: "You can write," he said, "that is if and when you decide to take yourself seriously." Needless to say, I was flabbergasted, and study with him I did, for almost a year or so. Unsettled as I was during that point in my life, sometimes I'd show up for our appointments, and other times I didn't. But not once did he ever chastise me, although, God knows I deserved it... It has been nearly 30 years since our first meeting... I have experienced my share of rejection, and also what I have come to think of as minor miracles... All of which, in large part, I attribute to Carruth's initial belief in the girl, as he once cracked: "who wears no clothes." In life, on occasion, we are fortunate enough to be graced with the presence of someone who will have a profound impact on us, though, more often than not, we are unaware of it at the time. Carruth was that person for me, as I'm certain he was for countless other budding writers. It is with a heartfelt gratitude that I commend Seven Days on your recent profile of this man whose courage, honesty, wit and

Louisiana also shows the importance of majority election runoffs, rather than simply declaring the candidate with the most votes elected. Instant runoff voting works just like a regular runoff election except that, because voters are allowed to indicate their runoff choices on their ballot, the majority winner is determined with just one trip to the polls. We must insist that that this was the last election using our current

undemocratic voting method. The legislature must enact instant runoff voting in time for the next election.

A PEARL OF A GUY? Its got to be a sad, sad day in the life of Peter "Defame" Freyne, and his regular readers, when he takes up approximately 35 percent (perhaps a bit more) of his ink to belittle and demean Brian Pearl ["Inside Track,"

Nov. 6] — and for what purpose? With all the important election and political issues Freyne could have highlighted for the "good of the people," he chose to bash a little known conservative who has absolutely no bearing or any real influence on Vermont politics. And he writes it on democracy's most important day — election day!... If you didn't read Defames defaming of Brian Pearl in last week's issue, it was brutal and truly

"mean-spirited"... No candidate who's willing to go before the people time and time again acting like an activist in a democracy (whether his or her ideas are extreme or not) should not be publicly flogged as Defame flogged Brian Pearl. Sure, Brian is extreme and he'll never get elected governor and he's surely not a "perfect person." But he's out there and he's involved big-time in the First Amendment and he fights hard for what he believes in, whether most of us agree or not... I guess Defame gives new meaning to the phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword."

Robert Skinner SOUTH HERO

FOOD FIGHT Since Michael Colby mentioned my name (albeit misspelled) in his column in the November 6th issue ["Left Field"], I'll take the opportunity to address some popular misconceptions he repeats about USDA's newly implemented organic regulations. Although I no longer work for USDA, neither do I recant my efforts to create a regulation that might have truly reflected organic principles. The worry on the part of small organic farmers that they're being "nudged out of the process" is a genuine concern. But the interconnected problems of our food sys-

tem, which continue to drive out small family farms in favor of large, consolidated production units, can't be solved by an organic label, no matter how closely it is guarded... In fact, I argue that the demand for stricter standards is exactly what is nudging small farmers out of the process — the certification, documentation and detail requirements have gotten way out of hand, more in response to public pressure than to anything imposed by USDA... There continue to be many alternatives to the "organic" label, and expanded opportunities to differentiate organic products with "fair trade" and other eco-friendly labels... If people think they can come up with standards for "authentic" food, that anyone but their own circle of friends will ret- ' ognize, more power to them... Organic farming, as Michael points out, has never been just about a marketing strategy and capitalism. However, it is wrong to assume that the organic movement is inherently a left-revolutionary one... There may even be some unsavory politics at play — in the guise of revolutionary zeal — in the demand for "organic purity" and opposition to regulation of the label.

Vermont Gambles with Diamond Jim Douglas

tomm're GAY. -

. . . a M ^ w happen f o ^ p e a k Arabifi^ lace your bets, folks, because it's time for us to have some fun in the Green Mountains, and Diamond Jim Douglas is the man to lead the way. Powerball lottery tickets and pari-mutuel horse racing are on the Douglas front burner. And surely, slot machines and blackjack tables can't be too far behind. Last week, our Republican governorelect gave us the first peek at what a Jim Douglas administration will look like. His personal staff will be run by the former Statehouse lobbyists for the banking industry and the Chamber of Commerce. Hey, its a new day! Chief of Staff Tim Hayward of the Bankers Association has been a Montpelier insider for years. So has his deputy, Betsy Bishop, who lobbied the hallways for the state chamber. They'll both be missed by the gossipy regulars who hang out like bats in the hallowed Statehouse cafeteria each winter. But the real news is that Diamond Jim is gambling-friendly. His predecessor, Gov. Howard Dean, is not. Candidate Douglas campaigned on an "It's time for a change" platform. We didn't know he meant chump change. And don't be surprised if the Nevada casino crowd returns to Montpelier this coming session. After all, just next door George Pataki, the Republican governor of New York, wants to install slot machines at the state's horse-racing tracks. Why should New York get all the action? Diamond Jim's closest economic advisor is Harlan Sylvester, of Salomon Smith Barney. Ol' Harlan is a Kentucky Derby regular and chairman of Vermont's littleknown state racing commission. Getting the ponies running again in Pownal is an excellent first step. Can off-track-betting parlors be far behind? Diamond Jim's campaign promised jobs for Vermonters, but until last week, Mr. Douglas never really got into the specifics. Media Notes — We were first alerted to Times Argus managing editor Scott Fletcher's work back in September. He'd written a page-one story about a 16-yearold girl he'd met at a "pocket park" on State Street in Montpelier. According to Fletcher's article, "DeeDee" was also a heroin addict and a prostitute. Not exactly Vermont Life material, eh? Fletcher's well-written story read like a scene from a novel, or an old column by the Boston Globe's Mike B arnicle. Here's a small taste: "Her arms are spread wide along the top of the bench, her face hidden behind an expensive pair of sunglasses. She is wearing a very tight white tanktop and a very short, black miniskirt, both of which appear to be too small for her. A pair of black heels completes the day's ensemble. "As a man approaches and takes a seat at the end of the bench, she throws her chest out and appears to be stretching. As a passerby, you might not know what she is buying, but there is no doubt what she is selling.

"Her name is DeeDee. She wants heroin. And she will do whatever you want to get it. "'You got some?' she asks her benchmate, slowly crossing and then uncrossing her legs. 'I want some.' "She leans forward and her tanktop strains mightily against her chest as she displays her wares. '"You want some?' she whispers. 'Cause if you want some, I got what you want. You take care of me and I'll take care of you.'" The source who called us about the story had long been skeptical about Fletcher. The "DeeDee" story put him over the edge. For one thing, he said, the benches in the pocket park where Fletcher described meeting DeeDee do not have backs for her to "spread her arms wide on." And, surely, if such a saucy little hooker were propositioning men in the heart of tiny downtown Montpeculiar, somebody else would have noticed her, right? On Monday morning, Editor Fletcher was called into the office of publisher R. John Mitchell and fired. Mitchell later told the press the DeeDee story was the reason. The Times Argus had received complaints about its accuracy. Mitchell told W D E V that "members of the community had challenged us on whether the person really existed that he wrote about. When we checked out her name, date of birth and arrest record, we couldn't prove that, uh, she existed." Fletcher, 36, a St. Michael's grad, stands by his story. "The punishment fits the crime," he told Seven Days on Tuesday, "but I didn't do the crime." Fletcher insisted the girl does exist, but he has no way of finding her and proving it. He said his encounter with "DeeDee" took about "one minute." The alleged interview took up two pages in his notebook, he said. When we brought up the discrepancy about there being no backs on the benches in the State Street pocket park for DeeDee to spread her arms on, Fletcher quickly said the encounter actually occurred "on a bench on State Street near the pocket park," rather than in the park as he as originally reported. Sources at the TA also tell us the DeeDee story wasn't the first one that raised doubts. Last April the TA ran two news stories by a correspondent named "Christian Murphy." Both were very well written. One was about a visit to Barre by a few New England Patriots football stars. Murphy quoted a Barre man, who TA sources say is not listed in the phone book and cannot be found. The story also contained three paragraphs that were almost identical to the Associated Press story on the same event. Some suspected Fletcher, described as a "workaholic," had actually written the Murphy stories himself, since no one had INSIDE TRACK »

armed men tried to rob a Boston pizza restaurant but couldn't open the safe because it had a time-delay lock. They tied up the lone employee in the bathroom while they waited, then tied up a second and third employee when they arrived. When a fourth employee showed up, the robbers took him to die men's room, but he told them his girlfriend was waiting for him outside. They let him go but warned him not to alert the police. As soon as he reached the parking lot, he called 911. Meanwhile, two other employees showed up. Then

been reported missing and feared dead and discovering one victim who had been listed twice. T h e initial estimate had been more than 6000 deaths. Ellen Borakove of the New York chief medical examiner's office predicted the death tally would continue to fall by small increments.

"would have loved the spectacle of the Planets being all over the press protesting that their silence was original and not a quotation from his silence." H e insisted, however, that his silent piece was superior, explaining, "I am able to say in one minute what took Cage four minutes and 33 seconds."

L I T I G A T I O N N A T I O N A group of people is suing the U.S. government for losses they think that global warming will cause them in the future. New Scientist magazine reported the litigants include a couple that fears their coastal home will be lost to storm

FOOLED A G A I N More than 27,000 people voted for former Ohio Rep. James A. Traficant Jr., who ran his reelection campaign from a Pennsylvania prison cell, where he is serving eight years for bribery and racketeering. Traficant had appealed to voters to reelect him to show they don't fear the government. "I believe I can do a better job than half the people down in Washington," Traficant said in a lowbudget campaign ad filmed the day before he was sentenced in July.

BY ROLAND the police knocked on the door. T h e gunmen began pleading for their victims to show mercy and ditched their weapons to try to pose as hostages, too. "They were telling us, 'Oh, please help us. Tie us up,"' manager Orlando Reyes, 20, told the Boston Herald. "I said, 'I'm going to go outside and tell the police officers the bad guys left and you guys were tied up with us.'" Once the police were inside, Reyes pointed out Johnathan Ortega, 23, and Miguel Angel Correa, 27, as the robbers.

GETTING BETTER On Nov. 4, officials lowered the death toll from the Sept. 11, 2001, collapse of New York's World Trade Center to 2795 after locating five persons who had

surges resulting from climate change, a Vermont syrup maker who insists that he'll go out of business if his maple trees die and a marine biologist who's worried that he'll lose his job if corals become extinct. "This is a lawsuit that we intend to win," said co-litigant Will Toor, the mayor of Boulder, Colorado. • Edition Peters, publishers of the late American composer John Cage, sued British musician Mike Batt, claiming that a recording of a minute's silence by Batt's rock group the Planets plagiarized Cage's 1952 composition "4-33," which consists of four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. After agreeing to pay an undisclosed six-figure sum to the John Cage Trust, Batt speculated that the avant-garde composer

I N O R B I T Bart Sibrel, 37, told police in Beverly Hills, California, that Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, 72, punched him in the face after he asked the astronaut to swear on a Bible that he had been to the Moon. Sibrel, an independent filmmaker from Nashville, Tennessee, said he believes that the Apollo 11 astronauts faked their July 1969 lunar expedition to fool the Soviet Union into thinking the United States had won the space race. H e said he was trying to confront Aldrin about the lunar mission when Aldrin swung at him. "He has a good punch. It was quick, too," Sibrel said. "I didn't see it coming."

• T h e persistence of skepticism that NASA's six Apollo moon landings were faked prompted the space agency to spend more than $15,000 to hire James E. Oberg, a former aerospace engineer and the author of 10 books on space, to write a 30,000-word monograph refuting conspiracy theorists point by point. "Ignoring it only fans the flames of people who are naturally suspicious," Oberg said. I T ' S N O T U N U S U A L Singer Tom Jones complained that even though women still throw their underwear at him, it usually hasn't been worn. W h e n the tradition began in the 1960s, "the whole thing was authentic," Jones told the German magazine Bunte. "Nowadays they bring along a plastic bag with their underwear in it.

Martinez, Connecticut's deputy House majority leader, was killed in a car crash, the state Department of Motor Vehicles disclosed that Martinez did not have a valid driver's license. D M V spokesperson Bill Seymour said that Martinez's license had been suspended at least six times since 1996, most recently this August for failing to appear in court in connection with a drunk-driving charge.

DIGGING INTO V E R M O N T ' S E C O LOGIC

Nuclear Lunch

ermonters don't look like guinea pigs. We don't act like guinea pigs. And we don't eat like guinea pigs. But two of Vermont's largest supermarket chains are treating us like guinea pigs. Last month both Price Chopper and Hannaford jumped on the nuclear bandwagon and began selling radiation-exposed beef in their Vermont stores, joining a handful of other retailers across the nation who are testmarketing the beef. While these giants of food retailing may be exploring their profit margins with the nuked meat, consumer and environmental groups are wondering if the real experiments are taking place inside those who gobble up these goods. Food irradiation, as it's commonly known, involves exposing the food supply to radiation the equivalent of tens of millions of chest xrays. Proponents of the technology are usually out to kill something lurking within the food supply, such as fruit flies on imported produce or E.coli in meat. No one questions the lethal nature of the radiation. The nuclear food controversy is about human health and environmental concerns. For one thing, exposing food to radiation is known to deplete its nutritional quality and create a host of new chemicals. Irradiated beef, for example, is known to contain benzene, a potent carcinogen not present in the meat before it's zapped. While the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has given the green light to the irradiation of practically everything we eat — fresh produce, meat, grains, nuts and spices — many independent scientists smell something fishy in the approval process. In its first major approvals for food irradiation in the mid1980s, the FDA admitted that its safety contention was based on only a handful of studies. This, despite the fact that dozens of published reports found safety problems when experimental animals consumed irradiated food. "It is distressing to me that despite all the studies, many favorable and many unfavorable, the FDA utilized only five safety studies," says Dr. Donald Louria, chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine at the New Jersey Medical School. "Even those studies have considerable imperfections. For the FDA to selectively choose the five is, I believe, improper for deciding safety." Perhaps the most honest assessment of the unknowns associated with consuming radiation-exposed foods came from the FDA's own Dr. Jacqueline Varrett. An FDA toxicologist in the 1960s — when radiation treatment was briefly approved for strawberries and pork — Varrett provided this eerie scientific conclusion: "The ultimate test will be in the human after lifetimes or generations of consumption." Now, thanks to Price Chopper and Hannaford, the consumption experiment has begun. There are three approved methods for irradiating food. Two of the most heavily promoted forms involve radioactive isotopes, cesium137, a nuclear weapons byproduct, and cobalt60. The third method uses electron beams — not nuclear isotopes — to generate ionizing radiation. The nuclear irradiation facilities pose serious threats to worker safety, public health and the environment in the form of potential radiation leaks, equipment failure and problems related to the production, transportation, storage and replacement of radiation sources. Though it's still only in its infancy, the irradiation industry has already been

involved in dozens of radioactive spills and mishaps. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) — where food irradiation was born — makes no bones about its desire to jumpstart the irradiation industry with its abundant supply of nuclear waste products. Consider these straightforward words from the DOE's Office of Defense Waste and Byproducts Management: "The strategy being pursued by DOE's Byproducts Utilization Program is designed to transfer federally developed cesium-137 irradiation technology to the commercial sector as rapidly and successfully as possible. The measure of success will be the degree to which this technology is implemented industrially and the subsequent demand created for cesium-137." For decades, the nuclear establishment has been trying to find a segment within the food industry willing to risk its reputation and adopt irradiation technology. After being rejected by the produce industry, the poultry industry and others, the purveyors of atomic edibles seem to have finally found a sector dirty enough to latch onto its wares. The three corporations that now control more than 90 percent of the beef industry are getting bigger and, by all accounts, dirtier by the day. Last summer's 27-million-pound recall of contaminated beef was just the latest testament to the poor state of affairs within the industry. The filth begins in the inhumane cattle yards, where the animals are crammed into close quarters, pumped full of antibiotics and hormones and fed a grain-based diet aimed at fattening them up fast. Never mind that cows are grazing animals that pine for some good old grass and hay — which don't allow contaminants like E.coli to flourish the way grain-based feed does. Then it's on to the slaughtering houses, where more than 300 animals are processed each hour, making jobs in meat factories among the most dangerous in the U.S. This so-called efficiency in slaughtering also means efficiency in distributing the filth. Contaminants arise during the slaughtering process as a result of mistakes that lead to the cattle's intestines being cut open and the fecal matter coming into contact with the consumable meat. Once these errors happen — and they always do — the contamination spreads quickly. Because industrial beef is processed in such huge volumes, the meat for just one hamburger can come from hundreds of different cattle. That's why a few goofs can lead to 27 million pounds of meat being recalled. Instead of slowing down and cleaning up, the beef industry is simply trying to hide the filth by nuking the daylights out of it. But one major hurdle faces them: trying to convince consumers that irradiated fecal matter is any more appetizing — or safe — than nonirradiated fecal matter. Good luck. In brief: Public Citizen, the Nader-founded public advocacy group, will be holding a series of forums on food irradiation in Vermont next month. On Dec. 2, 11:30 a.m. 1:30 p.m., an expert panel will convene at Montpelier s Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Later that same day, 5-7 p.m., the panel will be at Burlington's Fletcher Free Library.

THE PUZZLE • As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to predict. Her likes and dislikes change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in mind that Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them—how they're spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or what's inside them.) This week she likes everything that happens to be CAPITALIZED. Strangely, that even includes an ARAB who lives in a KENNEL It also includes anyone who could be called a CLOD or a YUTZ. She dotes on a DYKE and anyone else who happens to be QUEER. But she's equally fond of a MAN with a humongous pecker. Especially if his name is JACK and he's wearing a FIG leaf. If his sausage is huge, she won't mind if the man himself is an ELF. But that's rare because most elves' tools are the size of a BIC. Captain NEMO had a big one that would SPIT at unsuspecting mermaids. One mermaid was a witch who turned his wiener to WAX! Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY. If you're stuck, see the HINT printed sideways on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 12a. So much for Fickle Fannie's tastes this week. Next week she'll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

ALL T H E NEWS THAT GIVES U S FITS

no[iD/\y SA[e

Power Surge lot of people have asked me over the last two weeks if I intend to comment in this column on the unmitigated disaster of the recent elections. Put differently, many readers are wondering if I have anything to say about the overwhelming catastrophe that befell the nation on November 5. And if that isn't clear: Friends and strangers alike have written and called, wanting to know if I'll be writing something about the sheer calamity of the midterm defeat. I hate to disappoint anyone, but the answer is no, I won't. Here's why: 1) The elections changed nothing. They merely confirmed and made official what the United States has become since George W. Bush stole the Presidency in November 2000 — a bullying, swagger-

a symbol of unity for all Britons and the Commonwealth nations — when she's not fighting off butlers, that is, and charges of rape in the palace halls. "Homosexual rape," at that. If someone can explain to me what that means, I'd like to know. "Rape isn't about sex, rape is about violence." But I digress. Under the British constitution, the Queen of England has only three rights that are distinct from her ceremonial duties. She has the right to be consulted, the right to advise and the right to warn. Plainly, no one in the United States fills this role, unless it's Barbara Bush. And this is not a good time to piss off the President s mother — the only woman, as far as we know, who's allowed to box his ears. So we'll leave that one alone, too. (Poor Queen! She must lie awake at night

wondering how it all went wrong.) 4) What? Do you think I'm crazy? My name's already on a list! I compared George Bush to Hitler before the Germans did! I haven't had a good word to say about him since 1998, when the gay Log Cabin Republicans were barred from participation in the Texas GOP convention in Fort Worth. O n a good day, when confronted with Dubya, I fall into a dream, fantasizing that some huge joke has been played on the country and the world, and that this very small man, small in every sense, is just there for entertainment, the opening act, before the business of statesmanship can get underway.

But no — Dubya's all too real, practically sanctified now by a press and media that can't, or won't, admit these elections were staged. "This is not a whine," writes Molly Ivins, "but I do think the major factor in the last-minute Republican tilt was television coverage. Almost the only political story for the last three days [of the campaign] was Bush Barnstorming. It's as though reporters were covering a presidential campaign with only one candidate rather than a midterm election." She said it, not I. My eyes popped out on Sunday to see legendary Watergate reporter Bob Woodward's meditation on the Bush presidency to date, grotesquely and sentimentally headlined in The Washington Post as "A Struggle for the President's Heart and Mind." What are those, do you think? Bush's mind is clear enough to tell Woodward, in words that ought to be engraved on a missile somewhere, "One of the things I learned is, the vision thing matters." As for his heart, I think it belongs in the justopened Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville, one-time home of Sam Houston and final repository of "Old Sparky," the now-retired Texas electric chair. But don't say / told you. ®

On a good day, when confronted with Dubya, I fall into a dream, fantasizing that some huge joke has been played on the country and the world. ing, plutocratic nightmare, which in two short years has lost the respect of every decent nation on Earth. Why bring up the obvious? (I believe the Democratic Party has already been scolded in the press for its ineptitude in this matter, so I won't bring that up, either.) 2) I'd rather not offend anyone in Great Britain. The Brits are all right when you get to know them, and they're solidly against the pending war in Iraq. But the British parliamentary system allows Prime Minister Tony Blair to suck up to Bush with or without the support of his constituents, for just as long as his party permits it. The British people per se won't be consulted until Blair calls a general election. He can do this anytime, at his discretion, but probably won't, for obvious reasons. Now, I've long believed that Tony Blair — like his first American hero, Bill Clinton — has no morals whatsoever. But I see no advantage in making negative remarks about the Mother Country, because I may want to live there — soon. In fact, I'm packing my bags. So that's another subject I won't be discussing. (Pssst! I told them I was going to England!) 3) We're entering dangerous terrain and we'll need all the help we can get. For the first time in 50 years, since the good old days of Joe McCarthy and Dwight D. Eisenhower, the U.S. will be living under its own kind of parliamentary system, without, however, a parliamentary form of government. With Republicans — that is, just one of the two parties — controlling both the executive and the legislative branches, we'll have rubber-stamp policy and rubber-stamp law, stamped a third time by the same Supreme Court that put Bush into power and by the raft of rightwing ideologues he intends to appoint to the federal judiciary. What we won't have are parliamentary safeguards. The first of these is a head of state who, unlike our own, remains above politics and above disputes. A good example is the Queen of England, who provides

T H E O T H E R TV. GUIDE

America the Marketable //

retendpeace is new. Start advertising it. Sell, sell, sell!" — John Lennon, 1969 Bunker busters. Unmanned drones. Motorolas. For the first time in history the household television is being used as an instrument of war. Life has changed in a lot of ways since September 11. One thing that has been revised is the U.S. military's notion of national security. Traditionally, defense strategies have been predicated on the premise that threats emanate from unfriendly states possessing clearly defined borders and governed by a centralized leadership. Point

America is... We are having people who are not our friends define America in negative terms. It is time for us to reignite the understanding of America." Earlier this month the first of her TV spots hit the airwaves. A test run is currently being conducted in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country. At the same time, negotiations are under way to buy airtime in other nations. Four spots have been produced, and the State Department has allocated an advertising budget of $15 million. I had a chance to look at some of them. There's good news and bad news.

ernment's PR blitz addresses concerns relevant to believers in Islam who are hostile toward the U.S., and whether the ads will even be seen by their target audience. If you're going to advertise your way to a more peaceful planet, the viewers you want to reach are in front of TVs all over the Middle East. And there are basically two ways to reach them: Al Manar and Al Jazeera. But the State Department probably won't be buying ads on Al Manar any time soon — it has the smaller viewership of the two stations, and it's owned and operated by Hezbollah, one of the most ruthless terrorist organizations in

If the meeting of Pennsylvania and Madison avenues is to prove fruitful, the federal government has got to get real. a couple dozen nukes at the problem and it's pretty much solved. The problem today is that no one knows where to point those missiles. The enemy America currently faces is unlike any it's ever come up against. To complicate matters further, nationalism has been replaced by religion. The people who pose the most significant global threat today aren't motivated by patriotic fervor but by an unwavering conviction that they are carrying out the will of God. How do you dissuade an enemy whose battle plan is to commit suicide? How do you bring about a change of heart when traditional channels of diplomacy are closed? By taking out ads on TV, of course! At least that's the thinking of the Bush administration, which in October 2001 appointed an ad-industry veteran to be Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy & Public Affairs. Charlotte Beers made Uncle Ben popular around the world. Now her job is to do the same for Uncle Sam. The plan is to run TV commercials in countries that have significant Islamic populations. The goal: to sell Muslims on the idea that the U.S. isn't so bad after all. "Terrorism," Beers has explained, "is a battle for the mind. The role of public diplomacy is undergoing major reassessment.

On the up side, the timing is shrewd. "The goal was to use the period of Ramadan to play these ads because there's a tradition of people telling the story of Islam in their country during the month of Ramadan," points out Richard Boucher, a department spokesman. Accordingly, the campaign is designed to send the message that the U.S. is a country in which religious freedom is highly prized and Muslim citizens are treated with tolerance and respect. The ads feature testimonials from an Algerian-born doctor, a Libyan-born baker, a Lebanese-born teacher and a NYFD medic of Middle Eastern descent. Against a Norman Rockwellesque backdrop of county fairs and Little League baseball games, the four beam and speak with conviction about how well they're treated by their nonMuslim countrymen. There's such a peppy, feel-good tone to the productions, one half-expects someone to whip out a bottle of Coke. On the down side, those guys didn't drive airliners into the World Trade Center because they were worried American Muslims aren't having enough fun. According to authorities, most hard-line believers consider Muslims living in this country traitors. No question the U.S. badly needs good press in many parts of the world. What is doubtful is whether the gov-

modern history. Al Manar broadcasts anti-American propaganda designed to encourage Palestinians to become suicide bombers. That leaves Al Jazeera, a 24-hour news channel with an estimated daily audience of 35 million viewers. The most famous viewer, of course, is Osama bin Laden. He's used Al Jazeera whenever he's wanted to communicate to the world — with his famous videotapes and with the ominous audiotape released last week. Common sense suggests Beers ought to be spending her money on Al Jazeera. If its viewers are the people bin Laden is talking to, shouldn't they be the ones we're telling the other side of the story? "If I have to buy time on Al Jazeera, I would certainly consider it," Beers said shortly after her appointment. When asked recently whether the U.S. promos would, in fact, be aired on the station, Boucher reported that they wouldn't. "They wanted too much money," explained the department spokesman. Gee, I wonder if that might have anything to do with the fact that U.S. forces bombed Al Jazeera's Kabul studios about this time last year? The Army dropped a 500-pounder on the station's complex on November 12, 2001, even though station managers made sure to inform the military of its location. Are we surprised that their

sales department won't give us preferred-customer status? The U.S. military labeled the bombing "an accident." But that claim is questionable: A few weeks before the attack, the White House secretly dispatched Secretary of State Colin Powell to the region to try strong-arming the local government into reining in the station's inflammatory coverage. The result: Al Jazeera not only refused the request, but reported it as well. Apparently Bush administration policy is that we're the only ones entitled to free and independent media. What the White House apparently ignored is the fact that Al Jazeera revolutionized Arabic-language T V news when it debuted in 1996 with its controversial commitment to reporting all sides of a story. Television in the region previously had been heavily censored. The American government appears to have tried to silence the one proponent of U.S.-style free speech in perhaps the most sensitive and volatile region of the world. Probably a bad idea. It certainly didn't win us any new fans. The moral of the story? The White House needs to get its PR act together. If the administration has decided to go into the advertising business, it needs to make its message far more meaningfill to its target demographic. It also needs to coordinate the effort with those of other branches of government so we don't, once again, shoot ourselves in the foot. O n live TV. The government also has to wake up and smell the Folgers when it comes to funding the selling of America. Fifteen million isn't going to make a dent in the crisis. You get an idea of just how small a drop in the promotional bucket that figure is when you compare it with Hezbollah's $100 million annual budget. Add to that the deep pockets of unfriendly Middle Eastern regimes and unimaginably wealthy individuals such as bin Laden. It's like expecting a momand-pop burger joint to go up against McDonald's. If the meeting of Pennsylvania and Madison avenues is to prove fruitful, the federal government has got to get real. For his TV campaign to succeed where military campaigns have failed, the President will have to put our money where his mouth is. ®

ever heard of Mr. Murphy before. And no one has heard from Mr. Murphy since. In fact, Fletcher told us this week that he has no idea who "Christian Murphy" is. The Irishman inside us must add that we've never heard of a "Murphy" with "Christian" for a first name. Its got a fictional ring to it like "Mohammed Goldberg." If you're out there, Christian, please get in touch. Love a wee chat. Editor Fletcher's firing comes at a very awkward time for Boss Mitchell. Just last week we reported on Mitchell's firing of the distinguished managing editor at his other paper — the Rutland Herald. The two dismissals appear completely unrelated and purely coincidental. Indeed, interviews with current and former Mitchell employees indicate Herald managing editor Steve Baumann, unlike Fletcher, was highly respected by the folks under him. In fact, several said they brought their suspicions about Fletcher to Mitchell's attention long ago, were politely thanked for their input and then sat back and watched nothing happen. Now something has happened. Finally.

Mary Fanny Crooks? — Tough words from Gov. Howard Dean in Monday's Rutland Herald. HoHo referred to former Fletcher Allen Health Care C E O Bill Boettcher and his management cronies as a bunch of "crooks." Dean was addressing the fact that the Mary Fanny's mammoth $174 million Renaissance Project now has a $326 million price tag. Boettcher resigned in disgrace a couple months ago and took a $750,000 golden parachute with him. The whole mess is under investigation. Boettcher's management team isn't looking so good right now. For example, there's Boss Bill's right-hand man Thad Krupka, chief operating officer. Just last February, Krupka expressed this opinion of Boettcher in a hospital publication: "I want you to know," said Krupka, "that I feel truly fortunate to have Bill Boettcher as CEO. I have worked with many exceptional leaders over the years, including several Surgeons General of the Army, and rarely a day goes by that I don't learn

Mitchell, middle-aged and Harvard-educated, inherited the papers from his distinguished dad. (R. John always reminds us of the adage: You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can't tell him much.) Together, the Herald and the TA provided a vital homegrown counterpoint to Vermont's largest daily, The Burlington Free Press, which is owned by the multinational media giant Gannett. It wasn't so long ago folks used to say that you had to read the Rutland Herald and the TA to find out what was really going on in Vermont. Now, sadly, it appears that what's really going on in Vermont is the gutting of a once proud journalistic tradition. Sometimes, people who inherit newspapers aren't the best qualified people to run them. C'est la vie. P.S. Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Mike Barnicle was fired by the Boston Globe over complaints about the authenticity of a few of the characters he described in a 1995 column. As

something new from Bill. He is a very talented and gifted leader, and the fact that he chose to come to Fletcher Allen speaks volumes about the quality of this organization and the potential he sees here." What a difference a few months can make, eh? "These people were crooks that did this," said Gov. Dean, "and I hope they get criminally prosecuted." Ho-Ho also charged that the Mary Fanny's board of trustees "clearly is at fault here." But Congressman Bernie Sanders doesn't think Dean is going anywhere near far enough. As we go to press on Tuesday, OF Bernardo is scheduled to weigh in Wednesday on the Mary Fanny mess. Sources tell Seven Days Sanders will not only call for the removal of all the members of the current Boettcher board of trustees, but he will also demand the board be entirely restructured. Just busting a few "crooks," as Dr. Dean calls them, isn't enough. The problem, in the congressman's view, is "systemic."

Sanders will call for a new Mary Fanny board comprising representatives of the community, the public sector, workers and medical people. Not such a radical idea, eh? Mayor's Race — Now that winter has arrived, local politicos are focusing on the March 2003 election and, specifically, on the race for mayor of Burlington. For the first time, the winner will get to serve a three-year instead of two-year term. The Democrat candidate will be Ward 6 City Councilor Andy Montroll. He's a quiet, soft-spoken liberal in the Doug Racine mold. The Republicans are expected to participate and, rather than go to a seasoned veteran like Councilor Kevin Curley, may put up one of their new breed of conservative young turks. Of course, the incumbent, Progressive Mayor Peter Clavelle, will be the favorite, but in a three-way shoot-out, one just never knows. First elected mayor in 1989, Clavelle has proven his mettle — just look around at Big Bad Burlap. It's not perfect, but it is one of the most livable cities you'll ever see. The secret's out. Clavelle's solid leadership skills are proven. And right now those skills are being employed to end the suicidal split between Vermont Democrats and Vermont Progressives. It's a split that assures Republican victories in statewide races like the recent win enjoyed by Brian "41 Percent" Dubie in the Lite-Gov race. For example, Clavelle told Seven Days he is encouraging his Progressive friends and allies to support Burlington Democrat Rep. John Tracy's candidacy for Speaker of the House. The Progs hold just four seats in the 150seat House and there are three Independents. Tracy's in play because rookie Republican Speaker Walter Freed's homophobic majority evaporated on Election Day. The Duke of Dorset lost 10 GOP seats. Come January 8, Freed could lose the reserved parking space for his flashy car collection. Just two years ago, Sir Walter's closest political advisor/strategist, George McNeill of Danby, basked in the limelight of victory lane. He fancied himself a political genius. But this time, Georgie Porgie didn't have the fear and anger over the passage of our landmark civil-unions law as an issue. Mr. McNeill wasn't able to turn homophobia into Republican votes like he did in 2000 and, as a result, his pal, the Duke of Dorset, is in a fight for political survival. "It would be absolutely foolhardy," said Clavelle, "for anyone with Progressive politics to support Walter." As for the Progressive-Democrat split of the Vermont left, Clavelle said, "There has to be some sort of political fusion that makes sense." Good luck, Mayor Moonie. ® Email Peter at InsideTrackVT@aol.com

w STORY

SUSAN GREEN South of the Northeast Kingdom, by David Mamet. National Geographic Directions, 152 pages. $20.

On Location hile trying to pinpoint the Vermont mystique in South of the Northeast Kingdom, David Mamet drops elusive clues about paranormal experiences. "Fall is the season in which I heard the ghosts," writes the wordsmith and filmmaker, foreshadowing a brief mention of his two U F O sightings in a subsequent chapter: "I have seen some damned strange things in the woods, and in the skies." Most of the episodic book — part memoir, part philosophical ode to the Green Mountain State, part political diatribe — is devoted to the material world, however. T h e Chicago-born Mamet can talk guns with the locals in Cabot, where he has a getaway house, and negotiate movie deals with Hollywood moguls. He's also concerned about George W. Bush: "The Administration seems to be raping the country, smiling, smirking and emptying the coffers of gold," he suggests. "I, a congenital liberal, increasingly feel mugged by my government." Other than the cleverly subversive script he co-authored for Wag the Dog in 1997, Mamet's topical awareness appears to be somewhat new to him post-9/11. "The savaging of civilization daily stuns

characters who have grand schemes and often limited vocabularies. Their creator, on the other hand, is a master with language. Even his lighter fare demonstrates a deep cynicism about ordinary people. In his film State and Main, the residents of a fictional Vermont town are every bit as calculating as the movie moguls. But South of the Northeast Kingdom displays a soft spot for the inhabitants of Cabot and its environs. Mamet's pals range from fellow flatlanders like novelist Howard Norman and poet Jane Shore to blue-collar natives with names like Buggy, Nookie, Spud, Bunchy and Moose. Mamet, until recently based primarily in the Boston area, has been enamored of central Vermont since his days as a Goddard College student in the 1960s. In 1997's Make-Believe Town, he describes the Plainfield school, where he also taught, as "sex camp." In the new book, he acknowledges that it was the only educational institution willing "to admit my seventeen-year-old ne'er-do-well self." As an adult, Mamet raised two families in a nearby post-and-beam farmhouse that dates back to the early 1800s. His first

"So false, so artificial; that is not the kind of man I am. man. DAVID

MAMET

walls, neighbors who knit, blacksmiths and dowsing — earthy, rural things that entice a cerebral urbanite with a metaphysical bent. "There is, to skirt the mystic for a moment, something in the land," he speculates. "There is a spirit in the countryside itself." Mamet is his own illustrator. Most of his black-and-white photographs in the slim volume depict stark winter scenes. Like his writing, the visual compositions are minimalist. More moody contemplations than snapshots, they reveal only fragments of the truth. T h e noted poker fanatic is a hold-your-cards-close-to-thechest type, which makes it all the more puzzling that he would offer a tattletale recollection of his ex-wife's revenge after a bitter divorce: "I was off somewhere making afilm,a n d returned to Vermont, surprised to find that she had, impromptu, elaborated her list [of the property split agreed to in a settlement]. Every last object in the house was gone. T h e window shades, the toilet-paper rollers, the match safe screwed into the wall — indeed, the very plants and bushes ringing the house." Whatever his sins as a husband, Mamet does provide affectionate memories of being a dad. He's nostalgic about the 70 or 80 little animal figurines h e long ago carved for his kids. T h e

same wistful ness is evident in a passage about an ambitious project they shared: cutting goose quills into pens, making ink from soot and writing on birch bark. Yet the seemingly bucolic father feels compelled to confess: "So false, so artificial; that is not the kind of man I am. I am a city man." Appreciative of Vermont's old-fashioned entrepreneurial spirit, Mamet dwells on cherished eateries — River Run Cafe in Plainfield, Rainbow Sweets in Marshfield, the Village Restaurant in Hardwick. H e is also awed by the very notion of a general store "that was the market, fount of wisdom, post office, and seat of government. T h e tradition persists." Mamet longs for the quaint Vermont that is fast disappearing — the defunct junk shop called Dude and Harry's or the auctions that Albert May once ran in Molly's Pond. "In those days, the auctioneer was the local tribune, comic and pundit, interspersing his spiel with witty half-references to so-and-so's drinking habits, financial state, child-rearing capabilities, and treading damn near to who-wassleeping-with-whom," he writes. T h e hippie lore is just as compellingly outdated. O n e evening in the 1970s, Mamet spotted a goat tethered to a railing outside Montpelier's Pavilion Hotel, where Savoy Theater owner Rick Winston then operated a film series. That image is almost as endearing as the time a traveling salesman arrived on the Goddard campus to hawk items suitable for bridal trousseaus. H e was greeted by topless gals from "the Radical Lesbian Dorm," but their protest of bourgeois chauvinism apparently didn't stop them from buying some of his linens, kitchen sets and flatware. Finding the right words to evoke a sense of place about Vermont can be difficult, and the state matches the author in terms of complexity. A publisher's blurb praises his "edgy eloquence." T h e vignette-laden book carries some degree of irony as well: Mamet recently moved his home base from Massachusetts to California. T h e shift might have been a consequence of the "mid-six figure deal" Variety reports he has with N B C to write and produce a television crime series. T h e as-yet untitled program, to debut in the fall of 2003, will be Robin H o o d meets "Mission: Impossible" meets " T h e ATeam," according to a network executive. "The A-Team?" T h e network suit sounds like just the sort of huckster Mamet enjoys depicting on stage and screen. Its going to be a considerable commute from the West Coast if Mamet plans to revisit the woods, mountains, ghosts and U F O s — not to mention the Nookies, Spuds and Bunchys — of Vermont. The literary paean to his little patch of paradise south of the Northeast Kingdom might have to serve as a fond farewell. ©

here's nothing generic about the "The Restaurant." Despite its lackluster name, Burlington's newest Church Street eatery excels in uniqueness — from the romantic Old World decor to unorthodox food combinations such as lobster paired with black truffle bernaise. "It's some stuff I worked on when I had a lot of down time," says dreadlocked chef Lenny Williams, a former chef at Iron Wolf who got his start running a French-fries cart. "This is basically the place I've been waiting to do in Burlington." Red Square co-owner Jack O'Brien is his partner in the project. Maybe the ]er6z sherry is what made the wild mushroom soup so

After opening "O" in Burlington, "It became apparent that running two restaurants was going to be harder than I thought," says the 36-yearold restaurateur. So she is leasing Starry Night to Charlie and Cheryl Dooley of Charlotte, who for years have been trying to open a restaurant in their hometown. A long-time producer of large-scale food and craft shows, Charlie Dooley has a lot of experience organizing and marketing events. Cheryl will be the chef. "I feel like it's in good hands," says Mahoney.

nibbles & bits After 24 years in the breadbaking business, Jules and Helen Rabin have made their last loaves. The Plainfield-based couple started Upland Bakers after Jules lost his teaching job at Goddard College in 1978. Scores of Central Vermont kids teethed on their dense, brown, crusty creations, according to a recent article by Marialisa Calta in the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus. She quotes Ginny Callan, who founded the now-defunct Horn of the Moon Cafe in Montpelier. "There was nothing like it to be found anywhere in the area. It seems hard to believe ^ now, with so many artisan * bakers around. But the Rabins started it. They educated us." • When she is not serving as institutional memory for the local daily, or writing essays for Eating Well magazine, Calta is working with weatherman and talk-show host Al Roker on his second cookbook. She developed the recipes for his first — the best-selling Al Rokers Big Bad Book of Barbecue. Next up is a "holiday book," featuring Roker family recipes from Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Halloween. Will there be marshmallows? "Definitely," says Calta. "We say yes' to marshmallows." No to coconut and creamed onions. Check the portion sizes, though. Roker has dropped 100 pounds since he had his stomach stapled.

ome folks get their thrills from garage-sale finds — an original Fiestaware plate for $5, an original Elvis 8-track for 50 cents, that sort of thing. Other bargain lovers surf the Net for half-price closeouts and overstocks. Me, I hunt for cheap groceries at the crash-and-dent stores. That's what my mother-in-law called the places selling an ever-changing assortment of goods with damaged packaging. My best find to date was six large bottles of Newmans Balsamic Vinaigrette, the salad dressing of choice for garden greens at our house. Regular chain-store cost: $3.29 each. My low, low, price — due to some label stains — 79 cents. I couldn't wait to get home and show my wife what I'd scored. But what's the story, you might well ask, behind the flotsam and jetsam of groceries? I asked Craig Gutchell, the 56year-old manager of the seven-store Mr. G's empire. You might think the "G" in Mr. G's stands for Gutchell, but the reference is to Dave Gorham, the owner and founder who is still actively involved. Gutchell presides over what he calls the "surplus and salvage" business from his office in Winooski at the former Grand Union — the now defunct grocery chain in whose employ he spent 40 years, plying the trade of traditional retail food management. Mr. G's has three other locations in Vermont — Williston, Rutland and Windsor — and three more in New Hampshire. The company has an arrangement with one of the nation's largest food wholesalers to purchase what are known as "reclaim" goods. At all times, two of Mr. G's tractor-trailers are parked at the wholesaler's site, so products deemed unsuitable for regular distribution can be loaded onto them. Of course, they're not the only local outfit in the surplus business. Cheese Traders in South Burlington has long offered such bargains — though they've come to focus on natural food items and, of course, cheese deals as well as wine. There are also discount food stores in Vergennes and

Middlebury, to name just two. When it comes to sheer volume and variety of goods, though, Mr. G's tops 'em all. And unlike at Costco, where you can get great deals but must buy in quantity and have a membership, at a crash-and-dent the price is low even if you buy just one item. There are basically four categories in the surplus and salvage supply stream. "Damaged goods" consist of dented cans, torn boxes and stained packaging. "Discontinued" means some marketing executive has issued a death sentence for that item. "Overstocks" are goods produced in excess of orders or sales, and "code" items are those whose "best if used by..." dates are either close to^or just past the current date. Since everything must look perfect in today's corporate food world, these misfits need an alternative home, which opens the door to operations like Mr. G's. The ongoing horsetrading carries a risk, of course — a buyer for Mr. G's knows the cost for a lot of reclaim goods, but not what the return will be. They don't know what's in those semis before they pay for them. The lot may contain hot items or harbor a bunch of hidden duds. Thirty or 40 years ago, each food manufacturer had its own field reps who would drive from supermarket to supermarket, talking to the store manager, rotating and taking back old and damaged stock, and providing promotional offers and signs. These tasks were eliminated with the advent of the "mega-mart," as it became less expensive to simply write off oddball items and find a cheap and easy means of disposal that didn't involve landfills. It's also possible to buy off-price goodies direct. When a store goes out of business or into bankruptcy — as the Grand Union did — its stock is put up for bid to liquidators. Cast-offs inevitably result, as well, when a grocery store resets its shelves

H e never was able to find out why these puffy white sugar pillows were diverted from their intended home, but the price was right, so he took the whole kit and kaboodle. All summer long, Mr. G's sold three bags of marshmallows for a dollar. No doubt this resulted in an impressive increase in Vermonters' consumption of s'mores. According to Gutchell, part of his staff's job is education — assuring customers that the damaged products are safe. Dented cans are OK; cans that are bulging or "swelled," as they're known in the trade, are not, and therefore don't make it to the shelves. Cans that show any sign of leakage are also rejected.

Take a day to get away... items are inspected to make sure they are still sanitary, and that there's a difference between the code date stamped on the package and the actual shelf life of an item, which is always longer. There is a "no questions asked" return policy for everything. Mr. G's makes donations to local food shelves and actively encourages folks with Electronic Benefits Transfer cards — the technological equivalent of food stamps — to shop at his establishment and make their dollars go further. In addition to food items, Mr. G's will buy and sell other categories, such as health and beauty aids (a.k.a. HABA), hardware items or toys. O n their shelves this week were lots of Barbie dolls at prices even your kids could afford with their allowance money, used Swiss-made snowboards at $49 each, and tons of plastic tarps. The best part about shopping the crash-and-dent stores? Seeing the amazing diversity of products and prices. Some might work for your personal palate; others may leave you shaking your head. For example, most of us who went through college poor — or spent our money on stuff we couldn't tell M o m and Dad about — found the Asian noodles called ramen to be a dietary staple. Five packages for a dollar, occasionally eight for a dollar, would be a good deal. Right now, you can purchase 24 "shrimp flavored" ramen packets for a buck-99. How's that for freeing up some beer money? Or perhaps your daughter ii having a birthday party, inviting around 100 of her closest associates, and insists on Smurf cookies for all. Fear not. You can obtain a five-gallon bucket of blue-colored "But-RCreme" frosting for less than the price of a new C D . Three liters of olive oil in a dented can for $5.99, a case of 24 mac-and-cheese boxes for $4, and all the jars of turkey gravy you could possibly want at 79 cents a pop — these are among the current bargains at Mr. G's. Unless, of course, they're gone by now. Bargains do have a way of disappearing fast, which is why you may want to do what I do: Stop by the "garage sale of food" before you go to the big, boring chain store. Call me crazy or call me cheap, but if you find any more bottles of Newman's Balsamic Vinaigrette... call me. ®

Ask a waitress and she'll probably direct you to Tod Murphy, the tall guy in the T-shirt sporting a ponytail. "I had no burning desire to be in the restaurant business," Murphy confesses, sitting down for a chat. "The diner is really rural redevelopment masquerading as a restaurant. It's really about farming." Ultimately, then, its really about food. Murphy makes the point by emblazoning many of the diner s mugs and T-shirts

with this quote from poet-farmer Wendell Berry: "Eating is an agricultural act." If you want local farmers to stay in business, Murphy believes, you'd better put their food where your mouth is. The Farmers Diner is trying to make sure you do just that. At least 65 percent of its food budget is spent within 70 miles of the restaurant. Since opening in July, the eatery has done roughly $50,000 worth of business with local farmers. And

Can't imagine? T h e company's Web site (www.farmers diner.com) offers some numbers. Every $1 million in sales at a diner — and each one should easily eclipse that figure annually — would keep 350 acres of farmland in production, produce an additional $50,000 in sales for five farms, and create 13 new farm jobs. And because most of the food would be local and delivery routes short, each $1 million in sales would reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from trucks by 10 tons.

And those smaller farms will produce healthier food, Murphy adds — a fact that is often overlooked. "[During the same week] when the sniper had killed two people, a turkey processor in Maryland had already killed four [in a listeria outbreak]," he notes. " T h e snipers were on T V every night and the turkey guys were off in about four days. What's up with that?"

What makes Murphy think he can start 400 restaurants? H e smiles and takes a sip of coffee before answering, "Because that's the number people will believe." T h e real potential is much larger, he suggests, the smile growing wider. Comparable conventional chains like Applebee's and TGIFriday's operate in the thousands. "So I think 400 is conservative," he says. T h e Farmers Diner might also mimic those chains in picking locations. T h e Barre restaurant is downtown, but some future diners might be located on a commercial strip. M u r p h y has explored putting a restaurant along the neon-lit strip in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and even amid Vermont's most notorious sprawl in Williston. He's just looking for good business locations. But some potential investors dropped out when they learned the first diner might go in at Williston's Taft Corners, a development location that represents everything most environmentalists want to avoid.

Lvin$ "They said, 'This used to be a beautiful farm,' and I said, 'Maybe you can look at us as the redeemer,"' Murphy recalls. Then he winces slightly at the memory. "That didn'tflyso well." / _ In defense of the possible strip locations, Murphy argues that the land in question has already been mailed. "I'm coming to the table afterwards," he explains, noting further that the Conservation Law Foundation has said that by making urban fringe farms viable, his restaurants might actually help stop sprawl.

"was like 'Made in the USA.' It was about here" W h e n he told the story to his father, a psychiatrist, the elder man raised an eyebrow.

Be a Member of the Tribe.'"

For all h i s ''be h e r e n o w " talk, Murphy — the tribal chief himself — isn't actually from "here" originally. H e and his wife bought a farm in the town

"Fuck if I know." Fondiller's predilection for raw — that is, non-pasteurized — milk cheeses is understandable, considering where she learned her craft. Fresh out of college in the late 1970s, she

farm where the elderly grandmother would put the cheese cultures directly into the pail before milking the goats. O n e day, while thumbing through a French agricultural magazine, Fondiller came across a want ad for a cheese plant in Corsica. She jumped at the opportunity. There she learned the alchemy of cheesemaking and how just four elements — time, temperature, cultures and rennet (the lining of a calf's stomach) — can pro-

to a hard cheese he ripened by burying it in straw over the winter and pulling it out in the spring. "I was sitting at my table in the cabin once and I was eating the cheese and said, 'God! This rind looks like it's moving!"' she relates. Upon closer inspection, Fondiller discovered the rind was crawling with tiny insects that, she later learned, were part of the aging process. In 1984, Fondiller was kicked out

the milk, or they'd shut her down. Fondiller bristled at the notion and began a high-profile battle with the state. Despite the help of a pro bono attorney and the farm advocacy group, Rural Vermont, she was eventually forced to comply. Under Vermont law, a raw-milk cheese cannot be sold to the public unless it's aged at least 6 0 days. "Where'd they get that number, a dart board?" scoffs Fondiller, who theorizes that the standard is based on the m i n i m u m time needed to age cheddar, one of the most popular cheeses sold in the United States. Fondiller pauses briefly from her work to point out a speckled, brielike patty. "See that? That's cranberries and cream, my new holiday cheese," she explains. " H o w can I possibly take that to 60 days? T h a t thing's gonna ripen like a bastard in two weeks."

ucts has simmered quietly for years. Aside from the odd Luddite or back-to-nature types, proponents of raw milk have included some dairy farmers, small cheese producers and even some dietary experts, who argue that raw milk is healthier because its vitamins, minerals, proteins and other natural antigens haven't been altered or destroyed in the pasteurization process. They point out that raw milk contains lipase, an enzyme necessary for digesting dairy products, without which

some people become lactoseintolerant. Pasteurization of milk became widespread in the United States in the mid1950s, when American dairy farmers discovered that it lengthened milk's shelf life, enabling them to store their product longer and transport it to more distant markets. It was also around this time, say rawmilk advocates, that non-pasteurized milk was stigmatized. Today, some experts claim that those bacteria may actually prevent certain diseases, including some types of cancer. Nevertheless, opposition to the sale of raw-milk products remains steadfast. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) warn that raw milk can contain pathogens such as listeria, salmonella, yersiniosis, certain strains of E. coli and others, and recommend that pregnant women and anyone with compromised immune systems avoid them. The C D C also blames several outbreaks of food-borne illnesses over the years on raw-milk cheese consumption, particularly soft, Mexican-style cheeses. In Vermont, raw-milk cheeses must be aged at least 60 days at a temperature no lower than 35 degrees F. Though that standard was based on the aging requirement for cheddars, as Fondiller suggests, it has more to do with achieving the proper pH levels to kill off bacteria. Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is looking into whether 60 days is even sufficient for preventing illness.

HIRE "As a food microbiologist, I think the risks of raw-milk consumption really outweigh the benefits," says Dr. Catherine Donnelly at the University of Vermont. She points out that while those who grew u p o n a farm and have functional immune systems might be OK, some of the new pathogens emerging in the food supply today are dangerous enough to permanently shut down kidney functions in young children and the elderly, or can even cause death. Still, folks like Fondiller say the demonization of raw milk is less about legitimate health concerns than about marketing — fueled by years of propaganda, germ phobias and the interests of large food processors who have resisted labeling standards for genetically modified organisms (GMOs), bovine growth hormones and the like. "Can you get sick from chicken? Can you get sick from beef? Can you get sick from pork? Yes!" asserts Fondiller, with the exasperation of some-, one who has engaged in this argument countless times. Her argument sounds simple: If you want healthy food, start with healthy animals,. "You can't have good milk and crappy goats," she says. "It can't happen." Fondiller argues that consumers should be allowed to dec'de for themselves which foods are safer. "All I want is a separate label. I will put a skull and crossbones on it if you want, I don't care," she says. "Just a label that says 'raw milk cheese.'" And with a new administration starting in January, Fondiller plans to take her fight back to the Vermont Legislature. When her work in the cheese room is complete, Fondiller leads me behind the farmhouse to a small, concrete bunker dug into a hillside. We enter a cave with an arched ceiling that resembles the old stone caves used for centuries by European cheesemakers. This one, however, powered by solar panels, keeps a constant 94-percent humidity and maintains a natural temperature range of 48 to 55 degrees F. Here, the cheeses are left to their own devices. As we enter, Fondiller sprinkles a thin layer of lime on the floor but informs me that, aside from washing the racks and giving the cave a good sweeping every now and then, much more cleaning is unnecessary and can even be harmful. Once, shortly after Shaw built the cave, she made the mistake of giving the walls a thorough scrubbing. The results were disastrous. She had inadvertently killed off most of the natural molds necessary for curing the cheeses. "Clorox will never touch these walls again," she informs me. Apparently, even in food production it's possible to be too clean. ®

111 really need to know I learned as a Hostess Helper. That's the job I worked one or two evenings a month when I was in high school. While other kids were mowing lawns or baby sitting, I was a certified member of the entertainment industry, part of a specialized squad of teens who'd STORY been carefully trained to properly replenish potato RUTH chips and safely store leftover dip. By the time I HOROWITZ was 16, I was peddling my skills for $4 an hour — an impressive rate for a kid in those days. More IMAGE valuable than the money, though, my service as a ABBY party operative also left me with enough life lessons MANOCK to cover a sizeable buffet table. As far as I know, the term "Hostess Helper" was coined by some clever member of the Montclair Junior League, noblesse oblige Republicans in lipstick and white gloves who were, in those days, the bread and butter — crustless, white and unsalted — of society in my New Jersey town. Word was that aspiring Junior Leaguers had to carry a cup full of tea across a room without spilling a drop. At home, we suspected that membership in that group mostly had to do with pedigree: having been born into the right ethnic group, attending the right church and voting for the right candidates. My Russian-Jewish, staunchly Democratic mother would have been disqualified on all three counts. But she knew a good deal when she saw one. So when the Junior League launched its Youth Employment Service — a job agency for underage workers — she enrolled my sister and me in the Y.E.S. Hostess Helper Class. There we heard handy employment hints, like settling hours and wages in advance, arriving on time, following orders and maintaining a "professional demeanor" — e.g., resisting urges to call the boss a bigoted asshole and refraining from sneaking booze out the back door to our friends. Our perky instructors also revealed the secrets of successful at-home hospitality. We learned to place knives with their blades point in, handles lined up an inch from the table edge. In the dishwashing unit, we were taught that nothing that's ever been alive, like wooden salad bowls and bone-handled steak knives, belongs in the dishwasher. When serving at formal dinner parties, we were told, one must always remove from the right, leave from the left. This last law in particular undoubtedly would have proved priceless if I weren't chronically confused about the difference between "right" and "left" in spatial terms. That distinction has never come as naturally to me as the words' ideological implications. At our final session, a special guest lecturer demonstrated recipes for quick and tasty hors d'oeuvres, most of which seemed to involve Ritz crackers topped with some creative combination of cocktail onions, ketchup and peanut butter. Back home, these recipes got a big laugh from my mother, who took pride in her cooking, even though her favorite

you get her?" someone would ask the host as I stood right there, cringing behind with my platter of rumaki. I also discovered that not everyone in the world held the same liberal views I'd been raised with. "Here's to Richard Nixon," someone would toast at dinner — blasphemy where I came from.

But maybe they did, after all: toiling in the kitchens of Montclair's Cadillac-and-martini set opened my eyes to how the other half lives — and my m o u t h to an epicurean universe I'd never encountered at home. T h e very first thing my first employer did was hand me a pair of tongs and tell me to fry bacon for spinach salad. She might as well have shown me a scalpel and told

I stored up all these incidents, committing them to memory as conscientiously as I kept track of the oven temperature and which bowl was slated for the beans.

I had never cooked bacon, never heard of salad that wasn't built around iceburg lettuce, and had never ever seen spinach that had not started out as a solid, blackgreen, frozen brick. Just as I was beginning to get the knack of the tongs, my employer mentioned that the menu would also include ham served with red-eye gravy. "My grandfather's secret recipe," she allowed. "He was from the South." Whatever "red-eye gravy" might be, I could tell by way she sidled over and winked when she said it that I ought to be impressed. And I was. Clearly, this hostess, with her Breck hair and pearls, was something special. And so was her husband, in his spiffy Montclair Golf Club blazer. They both also obviously didn't inhabit the same planet my family did. My brother had worked as a caddie at the golf club to which these employers, and most of my later ones, belonged. But that association didn't have members with names like Horowitz.

As it happened, my most alienating HostessHelper experience occurred just two doors down from our house. T h e "Thompsons" had been vivid characters in our family lore ever since Mrs. Thompson complained to the mailman that she'd seen my mother hanging out clothes on a Sunday. We knew she was heiress to a fortune. A local college bore her maiden name. But we'd rarely laid eyes on her or her husband. O n Halloween, they kept their lights off. T h e only person we ever saw outside their house was the elderly black man who tidied their lawn. Naturally, when the Y.E.S. lady asked if I could work the Thompsons' formal Christmas dinner, I was terrified. My parents were delighted. W h e n I arrived on the job, Mrs. Thompson — ancient, unsmiling and decked out in shiny baubles, like a tree — ushered me through rooms -..^.fii Wffifi

of sparkling seasonal tchochkes and into a crowded kitchen where an old black woman in a maids uniform scowled at the stove. "Mary will tell you what to do," Mrs. Thompson said, and left me there. "She wants you to wear this," Mary muttered, holding up a formal white uniform you might see on a nurse or a nun. I couldn't tell what was making her so sour. Was it because I was too scrawny for the dress, or the

If the WASP-y, Republican Thompsons had tipped me $3 for destroying their property, shouldn't these social allies of ours shell out even more to me for sacrificing my own body?

Mrs. Thompson would touch her toe to a pedal under her chair, activating a buzzer in the kitchen. At our house, we also had a pedal in the dining room — but there was no uniformed maid in the kitchen waiting to answer the call. I never understood why my mother was such a poor sport about our propensity to push that pedal until I found myself at the other end of one. "There she goes again," Mary would grumble. Once, I clearly heard her add under her breath, "Old bitch." The Thompsons' table was set with special Christmas china and delicate crystal in berry red and holly green. I admired the colors as I stood hefting the turkey platter and wondering why Mrs. Thompson's antediluvian guest kept refusing to take her portion. Then Mrs. Thompson cleared her throat. When I looked her way, she jerked her head almost imperceptibly to the side, her eyes darting in the same direction. Remove

from the right, leave from the left, I suddenly remembered, mortified. I shuffled over, the lady swiveled in her seat and speared a slice of white meat, and the meal continued. That felt like the low point, but it wasn't. Cleaning up after the guests had gone, I took one of the fancy red glasses, stuck my dishtowel in the cup and snapped it from the stem. "You better go right now and show her what you done," Mary ordered. So I did. As I walked through the empty rooms in search of my employer, formulating the words I would say, a surprising calm came over me. I would not only confess my sin, but also offer to have the price of the glass deducted from my pay. I had hoped to earn $9 for the three-hour job. But if my carelessness cost me three or even four bucks, so be it. I felt honest and magnanimous as I bravely delivered my prepared speech. Then I waited for Mrs. Thompson to pronounce my punishment and set me free. For a good lqng moment, she didn't respond. When she did, she informed me, "Those glasses are priceless. A family heirloom." Then she announced that she had indigestion and would be going straight to bed. "Before you show yourself out, leave a pitcher of water outside my room," she instructed. "I'll send the boy around with your pay in the morning." By "boy," I assumed she meant the elderly black man who worked in her yard. But the next morning came and went and no one, old or young, brought me my money. I gladly would have let the matter d r o p — anything to avoid confronting Mrs. Thompson — but that afternoon, my mother made me go and collect my wages, sending my sister along for protection.

The precaution proved unnecessary. It was Mr. Thompson who came to the door, and he was unaccountably jolly as he handed me a bundle of folded bills. Stuffing the wad in my pocket, I muttered a quick thank-you and turned to go. "Thank JWK," said Mr. Thompson. "You were wonderful. Do you think you'd like to work for us again?"

"Actually," I replied, "I'm not going to be hostess-helping anymore." I thought I meant it when I said it. But when we got back to our own kitchen and I counted my take, I reconsidered.

But my bad catering karma returned the next time I got a chance to break some glass. The extended family whose gathering I was working didn't seem nearly as foreign as my typical employers.

1 1 tli S t r e e t hostess's grown daughters asked me to prepare some tea. I turned to the stove, where I'd been keeping the kettle warm for at least an hour. They had one of those enamel teapots whose handle curved over an opening in the top. Discovering that it had boiled dry, I removed the lid and held the pot under the faucet. T h e instant the water hit the kettle's super-heated bottom, it vaporized, engulfing my right hand in a cloud of steam. The pain was so intense I nearly dropped the kettle. But that would have meant breaking not just one but at least a dozen glasses, and I wasn't about to repeat that mistake. Grabbing the kettle with my left hand, I held it under the faucet just long enough to scald that hand, as well. Then I returned to my dishes. But my fingers hurt so much I could hardly move them. W h e n I glanced down, they looked like melted wax. My knuckles, in particular, weren't where they should have been. T h e skin seemed to have expanded and slid forward, like gloves that had been slipped part-way off. W h e n the hostess' daughter returned for her tea, I showed her my hands. Riding in her car to the emergency room, my wounded hands buried in a bag of melting ice, I felt comforted by the knowledge that I would at least be compensated for my pain. If the WASP-y, Republican Thompsons had tipped me $3 for destroying their property, shouldn't these social allies of ours shell out even more to me for sacrificing my own body? Maybe. But they didn't seem to think so. W h e n she handed me over to my parents at the hospital, r he hostess' daughter paid me precisely what I'd earned up until the moment I was injured, and not a penny more. In the end, however, even that disastrous job yielded an unexpected bonus. After my bandages came off, the doctor ordered me to wear white cotton gloves while my raw new skin finished healing. For nearly a month, I got to pretend I belonged to the Junior League. And to this day, in the summer when my hands get tan, the pale patch of scar that appears on my left ring finger helps me remember which side is which. But it doesn't help me see beyond the stark us-and-them mindset I brought with me from home when I went to my first Y.E.S. class. I'm still trying to unlearn that childhood lesson. Family recipes carry a certain comfort, even when they don't leave the best taste in your mouth. ®

STORY

DAN SALA.MIDA

o mismatch a few lines from Shakespeare, anyone who understands "how full of briers is this working-day world" can easilybecome "a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles." In a word: snacks. T h e busy Bard must have known that breakfast and lunch may not be enough for those who toil with "an unbounded stomach." Todays stomachs demand between-meal treats and, accordingly, snack foods are big business. T h e $80 billion U.S. industry supposedly got its start in 1853, when potato chips were invented to satisfy the fussy palate of railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, grandfather of Shelburne Farms founder Lila Vanderbilt Webb. This early gobble-on-the-go grub became an instant smash among the rich and famous. As of 1998, according to the International Dairy Deli Baker Association, an estimated 93 percent of Americans were indulging in all sorts of snacks — half of them at least two to three times a day. But not just on the run; most of us indulge in on-the-job chewing, too. We wondered what guilty pleasures might be fueling our

The right-hand drawer of Governor Howard Dean's desk in Montpeiier has been home to spice drops throughout his years of guiding the state.

Patty Shevchik relies on Werther's Originals — butterscotch-flavored candies. "They get me through the day," explains the florist. "I have one in my mouth as we speak." The snacks at her two-person shop, Flower a Day in Colchester, alternate between sweet and salty. "We have candy days and chip days," Shevchik says. "Always Cape Cod Potato Chips."

It's common knowledge at Victoria's Secret in the Burlington Town Center that chocolate bars are usually stashed behind the counter. Elaine Reid, a sales associate, reveals even more casse-croute confidences from the women's lingerie emporium: "We also get free samples of pumpkin bread and pie from Williams Sonoma," she says, referring to the nearby kitchen store that sells gourmet and imported delicacies.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Rita Markley keeps a toothbrush in a desk drawer otherwise filled with devilish delights. Does she use it? "No," admits the executive director for the Committee on Temporary Shelter in Burlington, before enumerating the contents of her treasure trove: "Mint

executive appetite The right-hand drawer of Governor Howard Dean's desk in Montpeiier has been home to spice drops throughout his years of guiding the state, reports Press Secretary Sue Allen. When it comes to these gummy goodies, the presidential candidate apparently prefers the sour kind. Would this sugary snack continue to be a favorite of the good doctor from Vermont if he occupies the West Wing of the White House — like Ronald Reagan's fabled jellybeans? "Old habits are hard to break," suggests Allen.

burning desires Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle keeps something way, way off the beaten snack path in his City Hall inner sanctum: hot sauce, culled from his collection at home of about 100 bottles of the tangy stuff from different countries he's visited. "My favorite is mungo from Grenada," says the peripatetic Prog. "It's made in the kitchen of a little old lady." Although Clavelle has so far refrained from guzzling salsa straight up, he claims it's yummy with everything but ice cream. "I tend to grab lunch on the run. Most food is far too bland, so I always keep a bottle in my desk. For me, the hotter the better. Today, I had it on coleslaw." »

movie mini-meals For wimps whose gullets are more tissue paper than cast iron, the preferred "little smackerel" — to quote Winnie the Pooh — is smack dab in the middle of the starch family. And for some reason, according to a federal Department of Agriculture Web site, New England in particular has become a bastion of crackerheads. "We eat Ritz Crackers or pretzels," says Elaine Bergeron, who helps out at her daughter Karen Boucher's Video Showcase in Winooski.

T h e munchies frequently hit hard at the Dorothy Ailing Memorial Library in Williston, where eight staff members bring in animal crackers and pretzels to share. "We also have an M&Ms vending machine here for a real self-reward," points out circulation librarian Mary Rutherford.

"My m i d - m o r n i n g pick-me-up is a slice of dinkelbrot," she reveals. "It's a whole-grain bread made by Deeter's Bakery in Northfield." Vanderputten spreads only unsalted butter on her dinkelbrot, which seems like more than a mere "unconsidered trifle." But, given the opportunity, at least one elected official would surely slather it with hot sauce. (Z)

Double Exposure

EXHIBIT "New Oil Paintings," by Gabriel Boray. Radio Bean Coffeehouse, Burlington. Through November. ARTWORK "Sunflower in a Time of War," by Gabriel Boray PHOTO Matthew Thorsen

o describe Radio Bean coffeehouse on North Winooski Avenue in Burlington as "small" would be an understatement. One of the city's liveliest venues for music and literature, it probably measures less than 900 square feet. It's also becoming a center for the visual arts, despite its modest amount of wall space. Painter Gabriel Boray has come up with an interesting way to solve the size issue. He is exhibiting 16 paintings at the Bean in two shifts. Eight were up for the first half of November, and eight different ones are currently on display. Combined, they make up the show entitled simply "New Oil Paintings." Boray's compositions are generally quite stark. This is clearly illustrated in his sunflower paintings. He uses high horizon lines to create a sense of distance and figure-ground relationships that are distilled to their most basic level. The tall, vertical sunflower paintings consist only of a few standing flowers and a high horizon. The two sunflower pieces of the first half of the show were entitled "Sunflowers in a Time of War I and II," and their drooping heads gave them a mournful air. Boray is suggesting that everything looks different through the lens of uncertain times, even an object as innocent as a sunflower. "Sunflowers III-IV" appear in the second half of the show, but do not have "In a Time of War" in their titles. Although the paintings are almost identical to the first pair, something is lost without the war line in the title. "Autumn 2002" is a diptych of a stand of thin trees rising from a grove floor scattered with leaves. It appeared in the first half of the exhibition. There is a body of cobalt-blue water in the distance and a line of dark trees on the

The trees twist upward, and Boray adds shadows to supply diagonals to the composition. Although there are many trees, "Autumn 2002" has a one-dimensional figure-ground relationship — there is almost no middle ground between the trees in front and the water in the distance. Two landscapes from the current batch are simply open spaces with half circles moving into the picture from the

sages. Boray builds layers of color without turning surfaces into mush. The themes of war and decadence seem to be of particular interest to this artist. Decadence is symbolized with autumnal hues and landscapes portraying the last trimester of the year. Boray expresses the sadness of war with moody figures. "Mothers in a Time of War" is a roughly 5-foot-long horizontal painting of shrouded figures in a treeless expanse. Some of the figures are holding babies

and all are in sorrowful poses. Boray realizes that the gesture of a figure is more important than detail. The figures are reminiscent of the "Burghers of Calais," by Rodin, and the memorial sculptures of "To the Sacrifice of All the Young Volunteers," by Kathe Kollwitz. While the image is compelling, the way Boray paints it is equally good. He tends to use many lyrical rather than rhythmic strokes, and his colors have the rawness of German Expressionism. "Young Man Learning War" is more enigmatic. The colors are red and gray, and the young man's proportions resemble those of a small boy. The figure wears a green cap and seems to be ambling toward the viewer. The collective shows comprise Boray's first exhibition in the area. He's an "emerging artist" and seems to know his technical limits. Within them he has created a fine body of work that definitely deserves to be seen — even if not all at once. ®

NO PLACE LIKE HOME It was during her 21 years away from Vermont that Mary Simpson took up art. She studied at the University of Alaska in Anchorage, then worked as a graphic designer and created scenes for local theater and opera productions. Since returning to Lyndonville, Simpson has won grants, been featured on public television, taught at Catamount Arts in St. Johnsbury and joined the board of the Northeast Kingdom Artisans' Guild. Her exhibit, entitled "Vermont Folkways," finds a temporary home in the Brown Library at Sterling College in Craftsbury Common. Simpson's farm-inspired linoleum-cut prints suggest you can take the artist out of the state, but not the Green Mountain State out of the artist.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of f j i

POTION PICTURE Harry and his Hogwarts pals whip up a bit of movie magic in the series' second installment.

he first 20 minutes of Chris Columbus' super-ballyhooed Harry Potter sequel are so much fun I had high hopes for thoroughly enjoying the next nearly two-anda-half hours. That didn't happen. As a result, I had oodles of time for napping, getting poked in the ribs by a mortified son and ruminating on the numerous ways in which Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets may just be the most quintessential Steven Spielberg movie Steven Spielberg never made. Once upon a time, you may recall, the director had dibs on helming thefirstof the J.K. Rowling adaptations. He certainly appeared the perfect match for the material, and industry types were surprised when the filmmaker opted instead to work on the saga of another remarkable boy, picking up where Stanley Kubrick left off on A.I. No matter. Columbus has virtually channeled the director in making his latest, and probably last, Potterfilm.As everyone knows, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is an orphan. There's a void in his world, as there was in that of the fatherless boy Henry Thomas played in E. T. And just as in that film, a pint-sized special effect with an extra-large heart magically enters Harry's life and changes its course. In this case, it's an elf by the name of Dobby. At the start of the story, Harry's staying with the comically abominable Dursleys. The creature cautions his new best friend that danger awaits if he returns to the Hogwarts School.

Dream Team ecent Vermont visits by Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore and Philip Seymour Hoffman were hush-hush — until now. "We were under a gag order not to speak about it," explains Rutland filmmaker David Giancola, whose Edgewood Studios provided technical support for a star-studded photographic essay published in the November 10 issue of The New York Times Magazine. The atmospheric portfolio, entitled "Dream House," is the work of acclaimed shutterbug Gregory Crewdson. Although based in New York City, the 40-year-old Yale University photography professor apparently feels an affinity for

"For Macy's photo, we created the same rainy special effects with the local fire department that we did for a movie called Lightning two years ago. And Greg hired the same crew we use here for features, from caterers to gaffers." • Sandra Gartner, who helped "Dream House" find a home, turns thespian for a half-hour digital video by Bond Sandoe. In Town Meeting — which screens for free at 1 p.m. Saturday in Champlain College's Alumni Auditorium — she plays the proud mother of a farm boy chosen as moderator for the annual gathering in a fictitious Vermont hamlet. He's no brooding Hamlet, though. George, played by Jory Raphael, is a pleasant young man who hopes to become U.S. president someday.

Sandoe, 47, is an Indiana native and former struggling Los Angeles screenwriter who moved to Whiting 10 years ago. He researched newspaper and government archives'to locate genuine town meeting minutiae throughout the state. "I kept coming across wonderful characters, quotes and situations," he says. "For the script, I figured that I couldn't think of anything better." With verbatim dialogue and a cast of non-professionals, Sandoe shot the docudrama on a $5000 budget during a March 2000 weekend at the Sudbury UTLAND D I R E C T O R Town Hall.

• Julianne Moore's "Dream House" stint revisits the same era as Far From Heaven, which opens in Vermont this weekend. As a confused housewife with a fabulous '50s wardrobe, she learns that her husband (Dennis Quaid) is gay. The marriage deteriorates, but neighbors in their upscale Connecticut community are more tolerant of his sexual preference than of the warm friendship she develops with a black gardener (Dennis Haysbert). In a nod to snazzy potboilers like Written on the Wind, director Todd Haynes employs lavish production values. The performances don't jibe, though. Some characters convey contemporary realism, while others are locked in the overwrought artifice of mid-20th-century soap operas. <Z>

VINTAGE CAB

Cab Calloway inspired the character of Sportin' Life in Porgy and Bess, saved the day in The Blues Brothers and helped create a whole new jive-talkin' jargon. But the legendary performer is perhaps best known for his signature song, "Minnie the Moocher," a favorite of young and old filled with drug references and plenty of Hi-De-Hos. Though the Harlem hero passed away eight years ago, his legacy lingers-tjn through his grandson and a timeless, 12-piece ensemble. C. Calloway Brooks busts out the baton and giant zoot suit and jumps, jives and wails to some Cotton Club-style swing. G A B CALLOWAY ORCHESTRA. Friday, November 22. Barre Opera House, 8 p.m. $10-26. Info, 476-

PHOTO: JORDAN SILVERMAN

Writing fiction, explains Burlington author Ruth Horowitz, is about going inside yourself as deep as you can and "freezing a life into a finite story." Which may explain why this seasoned children's book author, now assistant editor at Seven Days, still found it daunting to read excerpts from her adult fiction last Sunday at Burlington's Ohavi Zedek Synagogue. But here on familiar turf, Horowitz couldn't have asked for a more supportive crowd to hear her worksin-progress — some of which are, as she put it, her attempt to come to terms, "or not," with the death of her father in 1995 and her mother four years later. Though the reading was titled "Remembering and Imagining," Horowitz admitted that "If my husband David had named it, he would have called it 'Wallowing.'" But what she unearthed was well worth the wallow: a rich tapestry of stories simultaneously humorous and touching that weave together Horowitz's own experiences as a mother with those told to her by Goldie Schacter, her "quiet grandmother," about life in Galicia in Eastern Europe. In one, entitled "Little Grandma's Mirror," Horowitz

recounted the tale of a woman whose red hair is so lustrous that day after day the local wigmaker begs her to sell it. She refuses, despite her hunger and abject poverty. In another, she recounts a story about a toilet that flood's on the eve of a funeral and a visit by the family plumber, whose scent — "a combination of Barbisol and cigarettes" — is so much like the narrator's father that she's reluctant to stop hugging him. Another story, entitled "Ruach" (Hebrew for wind, breath or spirit), reads like a poetic travelogue: "If the wind blows dust into a camel's eye, your breath may make her blink." How apropos that Horowitz's stories of passing and remembrance should get their first airing within synagogue walls lined with brass "In Memoriam" plaques, and amid those who might have joined her in sitting shivah, the seven-day mourning period for a deceased family member. And, as in Jewish acts of remembrance and celebration, there was plenty to nosh on afterwards. — KEN PICARD

? How do you stage a play in which a cave is the sole setting and crystal ball-like visions are the focus? "It's challenging," admits Claudio Medeiros, who's nonetheless interpreting The Illusion at his alma mater and "giving it a little twist." The "fun and whimsical script" comes from 20th-century master Tony Kushner, who threw convention to the wind in his poetic adaptation of the 17th-century fairytale fable. Colorfully creative costumes and lively lighting set the stage for comic delusions and love's confusions. In the end, though, the truth may not be as it appears.

Set in a sacred forest, a Silimbo ceremony begins with driving drums and whirling dancers decked out in colorful costumes. The ancient West African rite-of-passageritualknown as "Kuuyamba" comes to life through the flailing hands and stomping feet of Le Ballet National du Senegal, formed in 1960 after the country's independence from France. The youthful troupe features more than 15 dancers and 10 drummers plus a mini-orchestra of master musicians on the marimba-like balafon and the harpI like kora. Riveting rhythms inspire shepherd acrobats to greater heights, while the sensual Amiran Miran dance shows off the beauty of the female body. Joyful jams fuel the finale, when audience members are encouraged to liberate themselves from their seats.

Though the late great Bill Monroe will always be "the father of bluegrass," Ricky Skaggs is perhaps the most qualified candidate for the title of number one son. Skaggs even owes his stage start to Monroe, who called him up and handed him his mandolin at the tender age of 6. By the time he was 10, Skaggs had played with the likes of Flatt and Scruggs and The Stanley Brothers. Since then, the Grammy-winning mandolin maestro has gone on to become a high, lonesome legend of his own. Seven-piece pickers Kentucky Thunder add further instrumental fireworks.

But none other than folk-rock icon and fellow Brit Richard Thompson has called him "the best songwriter to come out of England in a long time." Lowe is known for his timeless tales of blue-collar blokes in the gritty coal-mining communities of his Northeast England homeland. The guitarist and singer's profound lyrics and traditional instrumentation are enhanced by his trio, multi-instrumentalist masters of strings and whistles who call themselves the Bad Pennies. In acoustic circles, the smart money's on these folks.

Slightly off the beaten path of the Burlington bar scene, Radio Bean has become the hippest little coffee shop around. Opened two years ago, the small, cozy venue serves up coffee and tea, wine and beer. The musical offerings are engagingly eclectic, from singer-songwriters to gypsy-jazz to psychedelia. Monday-night open mikes — including the monthly "no guitar" session — draw large crowds of performers and spectators.

r e v i e w t h '\s PETER WOLF,

SLEEPLESS

(Artemis Records, CD) As rockers age, their music often succumbs to one of the following changes: They widen the scope of their composition (think Paul Simon's world-music obsession). Or the base of their original sound becomes somewhat sterilized — punk, blues, country or funk become pop; passion turns to contemplation. But there are notable exceptions. Compared to many of his contemporaries, former J . Geils Band leader Peter Wolf has aged pretty well. On Sleepless, the New Yorker's bluesy swagger is largely intact, and there is not a sitar or djembe in sight. "Nothing But the Wheel," featuring Mick Jagger on vocals, sounds like a solid — if oddly sober — '70s-era Stones cut. Elsewhere, Wolf tackles Memphis soul ("Never Like This Before"), Chicago blues ("Homework") and doo-wop ("Oh Marianne"). In the end, Sleepless is an expertly performed celebration of the sounds that shaped one of America's most influential musical figures. Wolf appears Saturday at Higher Ground with Kenny White.

S H A N N O N M C N A L L Y & N E A L C A S A L , RAN

LIGHTNING

PURE

(Morebarn Records, CD) Last year Shannon McNaily's debut disc Jukebox Sparrows was an unexpected departure from the middle-of-the-road pop masses. While the album occasionally slides into over-produced singer-songwriter fare, McNally managed to establish herself as a gifted composer with a remarkable voice. Ran on Pure Lightning, an album of duets with fellow modern cowboy Neal Casal, strips away slick production in favor of acoustic renditions of the duo's lonesome country-folk tunes. Casal adds honeyed vocals and instrumentation to the disc's eight tracks, nicely augmenting McNaily's rootsy vocals. Other guests — including keyboard legend Benmont Tench — lend Ran some true hillbilly soul. Overall this sophomore effort verifies McNaily's cred as a serious talent. Stand-out tunes "John Finch" and "Pale Moon" are perfect, tear-stained twang-folk. McNally performs solo acoustic at an early show this Thursday at Club Metronome. ETHAN COVEY

M O O S K A M O V E R S , TOO MUCH

FUN

(Self-released, CD) While ska's popularity has cooled off a bit from its mid-'90s resurgence, it's still an undeniably enjoyable genre. Who could dis music that's based on having a good time? Burlington's Mooska Movers are keeping the skank alive on their second release, Too Much Fun. Featuring members of Jazzmosis, the Movers are an impressive instrumental outfit. On top of tight, jumpy grooves, vocalist Craig Hanson rants about hangovers, office work and the redemptive power of dancing. The band is tight and the tunes bounce with irrepressible enthusiasm. That said, the goofy lyrics grow old well before the end of the 20-minute-long disc. The Movers need some stunning songs to match their inspired instrumentation. One

THE INTERIOR, THE INTERIOR (Dangerfive Records, CD)

Dangerfive Records, known mostly for their twee, reflective indie-pop, are stepping out with the release of the first album from The Interior. The Burlington trio is blasting onto the local scene with an angry, obsessive, dark sound and rough art-rock crunch.

Packed with plenty of teenage angst, tortured lyrics and fuzzed guitars, The Interior make white-guy mope-rock that has more in common with early '90s modern radio sounds than the 21st-century underground. While filled with its share of self-doubt, though, the group adds enough legit punk spirit and math-rock intensity to escape from the grunge trap.

Basically, The Interior are members of that confusing and misunderstood genre called emo, where punk gets all paranoid and emotional. But they stray far from the teary-eyed whine-pop of MTV darlings such as Dashboard Confessional. On their eponymous debut disc, The Interior blast through eight tunes in barely more than half an hour. While mostly relying on hard-rock conventions, they're not afraid to let their freak flag fly. Drummer Jamie Schefer smashes his cymbals into an insect army sound. Jared Metzner's thumping bass notes are almost percussive in their rumbling intensity. On top of this twisting rhythm section, guitarist/vocalist Corey French yelps and screams while laying down licks that alternate between calming melodicism and blistering static. "The Sound That Stifles" is driven by a great — if deeply buried — hook that demonstrates the group's casual yet emotionally charged playing. "The Crushing of Bugs," the record's standout track, is slippery art-rock with amps at 11. Beautiful and frightening, the track builds to a wailing climax and recedes into a false ending before crashing back with a spitting punch. The Interior's main weapon is French, whose vocals overflow with raw feeling. Much like Joy Division's I2n Curtis, or even the retro-nerds of Interpol, French sings with a fractured voice that contains fit" more passion than might be expected from the young musician.

At its worst, The Interior resembles the watered-down grunge depression of Bush. More often than not, however, they produce fiery punk-pop with strong songcraft and searing emotion. They may not start a local revolution, but The Interior are certainly one of the more promising groups on the Vermont scene. ETHAN COVEY

plus: The quasi-instrumental "Salad Days (Arugula)" is the "Tequila" for the health-food generation.

3 8 B I november 2 0 - 2 7 , 2 0 0 2 I SEVEN DAYS

BY ROB BRE7.SNY NOVEMBER 21-27

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Chaos is often good to avoid. But not now, Aries. You're in a phase when diving into uncertainty would be fertile and invigorating. May I suggest, then, that you pluck some inspiration from Discordianism? Its one of the rare religions that takes into account Ralph Abrahams assertion that heart physiologists find more chaos in the healthy heart than in the sick heart. Here's a sampling of Discordian tenets. 1. Everyone is a saint, especially you. 2. Meditation consists primarily of cruising around looking for good luck. 3. Eating hot dog buns is prohibited, except on Friday, when it's compulsory. 4. When you're stuck in a rut, you must speak in tongues, handle snakes and experience phantasmagoria. 5. Your guardian angel loves you better when your room is a mess. 6. Bowling alleys are sacred; you must protect them from desecration. 7. The goddess will solve all your problems if you solve all hers.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Of all the signs in the zodiac, you're most likely to fight fairly, Taurus. Sneak attacks are rarely a part of your strategy. You're not prone to using spies, spewing deceptive propaganda or manipulating innocent bystanders into serving hidden agendas. I love all this about you. And yet to be true to the astrological omens, I must make the following suggestion: In the coming weeks, use more guile than usual. Figure out how you can employ guerrilla tactics and the element of surprise without diluting your integrity.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Your first rule this week is to push with all your might to ensure the

Your second rule is to act as if the only way you can possibly get what you want is to pretend you don't want it. Third, be aggressively sensitive and ferociously receptive. Fourth, carry out the most macho form of surrender you can imagine. Fifth, be so uninterested in what people think of you that you impress them with your authenticity.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): St. Rose of Lima (1586-1617) was so determined not to be lead into sin by her pretty face that she disfigured it with lye and pepper. Though you've never gone that far, Cancerian, you too have hidden or wounded your own beauty. You too have been afraid to reveal the raw majesty of your real self. Please don't do that any more. Reject the pathological notion that undervaluing yourself can serve any good at all. To seal your commitment, I urge you to make Rose of Lima your anti-patron saint. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): What metaphor shall we choose to refer to the role you've played so skillfully in recent weeks, Leo? Archaeologist of the abyss? Plumber in the undertow? Scavenger of the scrap heap of history? I love the brazen resourcefulness you've summoned as you've cleaned out the gunk that was clogging up your depths. In any case, it's now time to crawl up out of the muck and onto center stage. You're primed to start blinding us all with your light again.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): After writing more than 30 stories about Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle got tired of him. In 1893, the English author killed off his well-loved character, sending him

plunging off Reichenbach Falls while in a struggle with his arch enemy, Professor Moriarty. Readers were unhappy with the decision, though, and nine years later Conan Doyle felt compelled to revive Holmes for another long run. I nominate him to be your role model for the next few weeks, Virgo. You, too, will find good reasons to resurrect an influence from the past or bring an old character back into your life.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Are you ready to intensify your pursuit of higher edge-ucation, Libra? We're not talking about plain old book learning here — not about watching and studying life from a safe distance. You need to get more of the edgy kind of know-how that's only possible to scare up while immersed in the heat of the action. That doesn't necessarily mean you should hang out in a crack house or travel to a war zone. Choose a milieu that excites your spontaneous curiosity, and put yourself in the midst of its daily flow. Treat it as a laboratory that will be a rich source of experimental data.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When an old tree in the rain forest dies and topples over, it takes a long time to decompose. As it does, it becomes host to new saplings that use the decaying log for nourishment. I'd like you to picture yourself, Scorpio, sitting in the forest gazing upon this scene. How would you describe it? Would you dwell in grizzly detail on the putrefaction of the fallen tree while ignoring the fresh life sprouting out of it? If you did, you'd be imitating the spirit of modern journalists. Or, instead, would you be a balanced witness, reporting

on the decay and growth with equal emphasis? In the weeks to come, please be the latter. (Thanks to Ien in the Kootenay Mountains of British Columbia for inspiring this horoscope.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): At the amusement park I went to last summer, there was a booth where you could get a trick photograph of yourself lodged in the jaws of a shark. I suggest you have an image like this made now, Sagittarius. It'll be a symbol of the past you're escaping from — the threateningmaw that almost devoured you but didn't. Next, create a symbol of your future in the form of a second collage. For this one, paste your face on the body of a person holding a fishing pole and standing on a dock adjacent to a shark hanging upside-down from a hook.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): You know how it's possible to expedite the blooming of plants by cultivating them in a greenhouse? I propose that you find a comparable approach to use on your growing anxieties. In other words, Capricorn, compel your worries to mature very rapidly. That way, instead of torturing you with a slow proliferation of half-conscious apprehensions for the next four weeks, they'll ripen overnight into their full-blown state. You'll be able to have a climactic showdown with them by the end of this week, and then move on to more enjoyable explorations. Schedule your worrygasm — the orgasmic culmination of your worries — for no later than November 27.

last week's answers on page 37B

Dear Frustrated: In your next dream, relocate the fish to.a lake or ocean, where it will have many environments to choose from.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): "Dear Dream Doctor: I dreamt I was caring for a beautiful golden fish in a room with two aquariums. The fish kept leaping from one aquarium to another, and my job was to scoop it up and return it to the water if it missed. I felt bad for it because it couldn't decide which aquarium it liked better. One was big and classy, but sterile, and the other was small and funky but had lots of cool castles and toys. As soon as the fish jumped in$o one aquarium, it was already looking longingly at the one it had just left. What does my dream mean, O Wise Oracle? — Frustrated Piscean Caretaker."

18): "Why is it so hard to find a soulmate?" asks psychologist Carolyn Godschild Miller in her book Soulmates: Following Inner Guidance to the Relationship of Your Dreams. Her answer: "Because most of us are actually searching for egomates instead. We place the most limited and unloving aspect of our minds in charge of our search for love, and then wonder why we aren't succeeding. .. To the degree that we identify with this false sense of self, and operate on the basis of its limited point of view, we aren't looking for someone to love so much as recruiting fellow actors to take on supporting roles in a favorite melodrama." I suggest you make this a core meditation for the next seven weeks, Aquarius. After that, you'll be primed to move on to the next question, which is "What can I do to enjoy life with a soulmate?"

the love counselor Dear Lola, Help! My husband's member is not saluting like it used to, so all my hubby wants to do is eat out at the Y. Of course this is great, but it's not enough to satisfy me. Should I suggest Viagra? We're in our forties. — Pondering in Putney Dear Pondering, Tell your man to stand up straight and get in line. An estimated 15 to 30 million American males find themselves with softwood equipment where they'd rather have hard. Causes of erectile dysfunction, as the doctors like to call it, may be medical, psychological or related to lifestyle choices such as smoking and drug use. The good news is, the condition is almost always treatable. Depending on the cause, your spouse may respond to psychotherapy, drug therapy, mechanical devices or surgery. But talking to a doctor is key. The fact that you still have an active sex life is encouraging. Whatever you do, make sure he doesn't think your desire to firm his resolve suggests you're no longer interested in his linguistic abilities. Hang in there and keep a stiff upper lip.
