COWARD IN CHIEF Whether we are supporters of the war in Iraq or opposed to it [“Under Reconstruction,” April 21], any decent American must feel compas sion for the men and women whose lives are on the line over there and for their families waiting at home. The Army had promised to limit their service in, Iraq to a year, but Defense Secretary Rumsfeld recendy announced that their tour of duty would be extended. Children won’t be seeing their fathers, moms won’t be seeing their sons and daughters. Some families reacted with frustra tion and anger. Others wiped off the tears and accepted it, knowing that at times this is the way a soldier’s life works. President Bush could have made it easier. The night before the announcement, he held a press con ference. He could have announced the plan and thanked these men and women and their families for their sacrifice. He didn’t do that. Asked point blank about extending their tour of duty, he answered, “That’s up to General Abizaid... If that’s what he wants, that’s what he gets... If he wants to keep troops there to help, I’m more than willing to say, ‘Yes, General Abizaid.’” Harry Truman, a real “war presi dent,” had a sign on his desk that read, “The buck stops here.” President Bush passed the buck to Secretary Rumsfeld and General Abizaid. This was a failure of courage, tact and respect for our troops and citizens. O ur soldiers

VEGGIE POWER While commuting home in my Straight Vegetable Oil/Biodieselpowered diesel vehicle after having read Mr. Carlino’s letter [Apr. 28], I considered the points he made regarding vegetable-oil-based fuels and salvaging the future of our nation. I became compelled to write this letter, not because I completely disagree with what he Says; in fact, I think he is right-on in many ways. However, I do believe that his sim plistic views of biodiesel/vegetable oil as an alternative fuel, as well as making change toward an ecological society, may mislead the readers of Seven Days. „ To suggest that agriculture is the only way of producing vegetable oils, that biodiesel “is nothing more than gasoline in disguise,” and that by using biofuels you are only helping yourself is in a sense not seeing the * forest for the trees. Vegetable oil can be produced by algae, as well as tradidonal seed-oil crops, potentially on a very large scale. Vegetable-oil produc tion and conversion to fuels can and does contribute to local economies, makes steps toward a more carbonneutral energy infrastructure, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, and v can and does power public trans portation networks.

While fueling diesel engines with vegetable-oil-derived fuels is indeed intermediate technology, it does move us closer to a more eco logical society. I don’t intend to downplay Mr. Carlino’s ideas for making change, but perhaps before he discounts the whole vegetableoil-derived fuel industry and grass roots movement, he should learn more about it.

BECHTEL REPLIES Jason Vest’s story [“Under Recon struction,” April 21] illustrates the danger of relying on third-hand reports for your facts. In particular, it recites incorrect claims about Bechtel’s work in Iraq. It quotes an article by two other journalists, who in turn quoted an Iraqi plant manag-. er’s claim that Bechtel had failed to supply needed parts to fix a steam generator. The fact is, as we told the original reporters, Bechtel specified what parts were needed, but the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) was responsible for the pur chase and delivery of those parts. *.U Mr. Vest’s story also recycles a quote from the earlier story specu lating that work in the power sec tor was being held up because Russian, German and French com- , panies could not participate in the rebuilding of Iraq. As we and USAID have stated publicly, Bechtel is free to choose subcon tractors from those countries. Indeed, our current list of subcon-

"DEMOCRACY" WHEN? I thought your readers would like to know that the schedule for the tele vised version of “Democracy Now” airs on Adelphia Cable Channel 17 as follows: Mondays at 5:55 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11:45

REMOVE RUMSFELD Any torture of prisoners under U.S. military control is reprehensible; the sadism reflected in the treat ment of the Iraqis is especially repugnant. That it occurs in the context of this administrations unabashed arrogance and the inten tional disavowal of the Geneva Convention by Mr. Rumsfelds Pentagon is sadly not surprising.

100KATTHK'

Causal or not, Donald Rumsfeld is ultimately responsible for these mistakes. The most honorable course of action now is for him to offer his resignation and for the President to accept it. Failing that, the President must show the world how seriously America takes this issue by firing Mr. Rumsfeld.

events in my part of the Old North End. My neighborhood is also oppos ing a 27-unit development. At neighborhood association meetings, city officials have defended this development, ignoring our concerns. Residents, rather than developers, have to justify their position. Offic ials do not address how increased density can possibly alleviate existing problems caused by overcrowding, nor do they disclose how much prof it will be made on such huge devel opments (in my opinion, the moti vating factor for oversized projects). I thought city officials were supposed to listen to and support residents. Instead, were made out to be the bad guys “opposing” housing. In reality, my neighbors, like Lakeview Terrace residents, don’t oppose hous ing. We just want lower-density buildings that fit the neighborhood. When we look around 50 years from now at the hideous boxes (most of them are hideous — take a look around town), who will want to take credit for the wholesale destruction of Burlington’s character? Once built, they won’t come down any time soon, so I encourage residents to become active in defending their 1 city’s livability. This activism benefits all residents, regardless of socioeco nomic status. We only need to look at past disastrous effects of this type of development in other cities to know what to avoid here before it’s too late. We can learn from their mis takes. There can be reasonable

FOR FIERMONTE Jake Perkinson’s recent attack letter criticizing Phil Fiermonte [May 5] seems to be no more than a case of sour grapes. Perkinson lost an elec tion to Fiermonte by a two-to-one margin. Perkinson’s assertion that Fiermonte is beholden to “bigmoney interests” is ridiculous and proves Perkinson has no idea what the working class is all about. Phil received donations from labor unions. Labor unions are the folks who brought us the five-day work-week and minimum-wage laws, and who continue the fight for fair trade policies, universal health care and livable wages. Perkinson need only look to the Center for Responsive Politics web site to find who is taking in the money. In just the first three months of this year, the Democrats have received $12.6 million from the Finance, Insurance and Real Estate industry, $8.4 million from lobbyists and lawyers, and $345,000 from the defense contractors. The Fiermonte campaign was based on a grassroots, door-to-door effort. To portray it as anything else shows Perkinson is not interested in issues, or even winning elections. He seems to be only interested in smear ing a strong, effective leader’s good name. —

H ig h w a y C irc u m c is io n t was the political foreskin of Republican

Jim Douglas’ successful campaign for gov

The law that the government, i.e., the Bush and Douglas administrations, violated is the nation’s bedrock environmental law, passed in 1969. It was a time when Americans suddenly started to wake up to the trashing of America. The National Environmental Policy Act requires propo nents of projects like the Circ to thoroughly study the cumulative environmental impacts and take a “hard look” at alternatives. In the case of the Circ, found Sessions, that simply was not done. “To require com pliance with the strictures of NEPA,” wrote Judge Sessions, “is not pettifoggery.” Not pettifoggery, indeed. Instead, Gov. Douglas, with the help of his pal George W. Bush, simply tried to ram the road down Vermont’s throat, environ mental laws be damned! Thanks to the plaintiffs — VPIRG, the Sierra Club, the Conservation Law Foundation, Friends of the Earth,. Wayne Senville and Donald Horenstein — their plan failed. The rule of law won the day! Two years ago, Candidate Jim Douglas was running hard on a pro-economic devel opment platform. He promised new jobs and a bright future. And he promised to build the Circ! It was music to the ears of IBM, the Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation and the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce among other interests. Then, just days before the election, Douglas got word from the White House that the Circ had made the final Bush fasttrack list. He quickly staged a press confer ence by the roadside in Williston to tout his achievement and show voters he was the candidate who could get results. A couple days later, Jim Douglas was elected governor of Vermont by 5871 votes over Doug

ernor in 2002 — the crown jewel of the Douglas plan for economic development and job growth. But on Monday, U.S. District Court Judge William K. Sessions III snipped it right off, as only a federal judge can. By order of the court, construction of Segments A and B of the 15.8-mile Chittenden County Circumferential Highway has been abruptly halted. The route would have provided IBM’s giant facil ities in Essex and Williston with easy access to 1-89. Segments C-F, the 4.5-mile bypass around Essex Junctions Five Corners bottle neck, was opened in 1993. Segments G-H, if built, would cut through Colchester, connecting to the Burlington Beltline. The government claims construction of the entire 16-mile ring road would cut cross-county travel time by seven seconds. Based on the recently revised pro jected cost of $223 million, that’s about $32 million per second! In a carefully worded 75-page decision, Judge Billy found the government had bro ken federal laws requiring environmental review. Within an hour, Vermont Transportation Secretary Patricia McDonald reluctantly issued a stop-work order. Just last week, McDonald had been so confident of victory, she joked that she had prepared only one speech to deliver following the expected court decision. As it turned out, we’ll never get to hear Patty’s speech. Sessions’ ruling comes as very bad news for the Douglas administration. In recent weeks the Gov has consistently expressed unabashed confidence that the court would Racine. rule in the state’s favor. Losing was not in Now, Gov.

The rustlers typically drive up to ranches at night, tackle and rope the docile animals, then load them into the back of pickup trucks or even into the trunks and back seats of cars. “A stolen cow is usually obvious,” Ben Higgins, vice president of the California Cattlemen’s Association, told the Post. “When it’s a calf, it’s a much harder crime to solve.

Australian handyman Brad Shorten, 33, picked up a nail gun that he thought was empty, pointed it at his head and pulled the trigger. He wound up with a 1.25inch nail countersunk through his skull just behind his temple. He explained that he had turned off the gun’s compressor and taken out its nail cartridge but didn’t realize enough pressure remained to fire a nail. After a four-hour operation to remove the nail, Shorten admitted, “I did a very stupid thing.”

He hit and struggled with the 25-year-old woman inside, who told police afterward that she feared for her life. The victim stopped the attack by yelling and attacking Howard’s testicles. Surprised by her resist ance, Howard asked for the name she used in the chat room, only to be told that she had never visited a chat room and didn’t have a personal computer.

6 Roosevelt Highway, Colchester (Exit 16) ermont takes more than it gives — air pol lution, that is. The Green Mountain State doesn’t have much heavy industry, but it’s on the receiving end of toxic emissions from smokestacks and incinerators that are hun dreds, even thousands, of miles away. And if International Paper in Ticonderoga, New York, gets a permit to burn 72 tons of old tires each day for energy, Vermonters will bear an even heavier toxic load. Since January, the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has been operating two air-quality monitoring stations in Shoreham, about two and a half miles from the IP mill. Their purpose is to get a baseline picture of existing air-pollu tion levels before any tires are burned. According to George Apgar, monitoring section supervisor at the D EC’s Air

N e e d le s s t o sa y , t h e p r e s e n c e o f m o r e d io x in s in lo c a l m ilk a n d c h e e s e is a n a t h e m a t o t h e *

w h o le s o m e im a g e V e r m o n t's d a ir y in d u s t r y t r ie s t o c o n v e y . Pollution Control Division, the state is measuring 19 different industrial pollutants, primarily heavy metals such as lead, zinc, chromium and arsenic. Air-pollution monitoring isn’t cheap — the equipment alone costs about $100,000. And though much of it was already on hand at the DEC or borrowed from other states, Apgar says it’s a labor-intensive process. The monitors must be serviced once a week, which takes about half a day. And Vermont taxpayers, not International Paper, are picking up the tab. That cost would be even higher if the DEC were checking for the most hazardous emissions that come from burning tires: dioxins. In the pantheon of industrial byproducts, dioxins are among the nastiest. They are actually a class of some 240 differ ent compounds, 17 of which are highly toxic to humans. Unlike heavy metals, there is no safe level of exposure. Aside from causing cancer, dioxins wreak havoc on the endocrine, immune and reproductive sys tems, causing birth defects, miscarriages, decreased fertility, diabetes, learning disabil ities and a host of other problems. Dioxins are “bio-accumulators,” building up in animal tissue and entering the body through food — primarily beef, milk and other dairy products. Needless to say, the presence of more dioxins in local milk and cheese is anathema to the wholesome image Vermont’s dairy industry tries to convey. Currently, the DEC has no plans to monitor for dioxins from the IP mill, even if the test burn is approved. Why? “Dioxin levels are going to be so small and diluted that it would be nearly impossible to pick up some sort of impact here,” says DEC environmental analyst Doug Elliott. The DEC, he adds, has “scoured the literature that’s out there, and dioxin is not something

that we’d expect to see an increase of.” “Scoured” may be too strong a word. Dr. Jean Anderson is professor emerita in natu ral resources and environmental studies at the University of Vermont. She says it’s “a physical impossibility” to burn tires and not produces dioxins. And even if IP’s tire burn barely increase dioxin levels in Vermont, a little bit is too much. In 1997, Anderson used complex com puter models and air sampling on farms in Vermont and Wisconsin to study the long distance migration of dioxins. She says that measuring for dioxins at or near a smoke stack isn’t enough to predict what happens to those compounds once they encounter moisture and sunlight and recombine with other elements in the atmosphere. In fact, dioxin levels can be very low inside a smokestack but spike 20 to 30 miles away. “In the St. Albans area, we know that the dioxin that gets into dairy milk comes from a secondary copper smelter in Quebec 600 miles to the north,” Anderson says. “And we know that the dioxins that we get in the mid dle part of the state come from the municipalwaste incinerator in Glens Falls, New York.” Anderson’s interest is more than just aca demic. She and her husband live in Ferrisurgh and own Five Mile Point in Shoreham, which is spitting distance from the IP mill. While she acknowledges that burning tires may save IP millions of dollars in energy costs, “I don’t think that’s a good enough reason to endanger the health of this generation of Vermonters, and the next two generations.”

Not everything th a t drifts across Lake Champlain from New York is unwelcome. One of the most scenic travel routes into Vermont is the ferry that runs between Essex, New York, and Charlotte. In recent weeks, a story has been floating in the press that the Lake Champlain Transportation Company (LCT) will be discontinuing that . ferry next January. Such a move would affect thousands of commuters who save an hour or more of driving each way, depend ing upon traffic and weather conditions. Docking that ferry would be more than just an inconvenience. One regular customer says it could be a life-and-death decision. Robert Hoag, president of the Lamoille Ambulance Service in Johnson, wrote to LCT owner Trey Pecor to say that his ambu lance crews use the ferry about 200 times a year to transport patients to and from New York’s Adirondack Medical Center and Elizabethtown Community Hospital. But reports of the ferry’s demise may be lit tle more than bilge water. At a community meeting last week in Essex, Pecor reassured some 100 concerned commuters that the ferry will continue operating for the foreseeable future. Though he admitted that the ferry needs at least 175 cars per day in the winter to break even — currently, it gets about 130 — Pecor has no plans to dry-dock the ship. “Really, there’s not much to this,” Pecor tells Seven Days. “I’m certainly not selling it or closing it. It’s a wondecful crossing.” ®

Dear Cecil, In the column in your archive on the Alamo, you base most o f your claims on the diary o f Jose Enrique de la Pena. I did a bit ofsearching on the Internet andfound claims that this diary is a fake. Is the diary real, or were you fooled? — Star Was via the Straight Dope Message Board

I am never fooled, Star. On occasion I arrive at the truth by a circuitous route. However, it’s far from clear that this is one of those occasions. Before we get into the largely idiotic controversy surrounding the de la Pena diary, I should clari fy that what’s at stake — at least in the minds of the more hysterical disputants — is not so much the authenticity of an obscure manuscript as the legend of 19th-century fron tiersman and 1950s TV hero Davy Crockett. At the center of the debate is an account of the Texas rebellion of 1835-’36 by Jose Enrique de la Pena, an officer in the Mexican army who witnessed much of the conflict, including the battle of the Alamo. His version of events is far gorier and less romantic than the saga American kids have heard for decades, but to many his most sensational claim is that Davy Crockett didn’t go down fighting — out of bullets but flailing away with his rifle butt at a swarm of Mexican soldiers, as portrayed by Fess Parker in a 1955 episode of Disney’s weekly television series, then called Disneyland. Rather, de la Pena reports, he was among a group of seven Texans who were captured in the battle and summarily executed soon afterward by order of the Mexican general and dictator Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. The suggestion that Crockett’s death may have been less than glorious has outraged Alamo partisans, who have been denouncing the de la Pena diary as an attack on American heroism since the first English translation appeared in 1975. Scholars, though, generally accepted the authenticity of the diary until the 1990s, when an amateur historian named Bill

Groneman argued in a series of books and articles that it was a forgery. Groneman, a New York City arson investigator, pointed to a number of fishy things about the document — starting with its appearance out of nowhere in 1955, when a Spanish transcription was published by Jesus Sanchez Garza, a Mexico City antiquarian. Sanchez Garza, whose widow later sold the handwritten original to a wealthy Texan, never explained where the diary had been for the previous 120 years or how he’d ccHa&to own it. Groneman had a photo copy of t|ie diary examined by handwriting e ^ e rt Charles Hamilton, who declared the text a fake and identified the culprit as one John Danin, who he said had forged numerous historical documents between 1940 and 1970, including some linked to the Texan revolution. With that, skirmishing over the diary erupted into a fullfledged cultural war; Crockett boosters cited Groneman’s work as proof the diary was a fraud. The document’s most energetic defender has been historian James Crisp, who found an 1839 pamphlet by de la Pena in which the Mexican said he was preparing his diary for publication — proof that, if nothing else, the Sanchez Garza text had a his torical basis. Finally, in 2001, archivist David Gracy pub lished a detailed analysis of the manuscript, including lab results. He found, among other things, that the paper and ink were of a type used by the Mexican army in the 1830s, and the handwriting matched that on other documents in the Mexican military archives that were written or signed by de la Pena. Gracy also pointed out that Hamilton had made mistakes in other cases and that he had been working from a photocopy, increasing the risk of error. His conclusion: While the diary’s authenticity hadn’t been proven beyond doubt, the preponderance of evidence suggested it was legit. That doesn’t settle the question of Davy Crockett’s death, though. Just because de la Pena’s diary is likely authentic doesn’t necessarily make it accurate. Even if de la Pena really did see Santa Anna order the execution of some captured Texans, how could he be sure one of them was Crockett? He’d never seen the man before, and his account gives no indication of any attempt to identify the prisoners at the time. De la Pena may have heard later (he actually wrote the diary several months after the battle) that one of the men had been Crockett, but that hardly proves anything — other witnesses claimed they’d seen the body on the battlefield. In short, we’ll probably never know for sure how Crockett died. The real mystery, though, is why people think it matters. De la Pena never suggests the executed , prisoners were cowards — on the contrary, he writes, “these unfortunates died without complaining and without humifiating themselves before their torturers.” That may not be stirring enough for those who prefer the Disney version of ~ history, but my feeling is, big frickin’ deal.

And so H o t Potato C oncepts o f V erm ont was born, even though there’s not a single spud in the M arket Stand Family Meal Kits produced by his fledgling enterprise. ________________________________________ T he new endeavor takes the_ form er owner o f B urlington’s SPENCER NEWMAN A dventurous Traveler HOT POTATO CONCEPTS Bookstore in a different direc BURLINGTON tion. A few m onths ago N ew m an, 35, and two p a rt ners began tu rn in g out C hicken R isotto and Beef Picadillo, w hich comes w ith corn tortillas and “tom ato mole” — a custom -m ade M exican sauce pronounced mole-ay. T h eir boxed meal kits are frozen, b ut not prem ixed like heat-and-serve suppers for the microwave or frying pan. H ot Potato ingredients, packaged in separate plastic bags, m ust be added in one by one d uring the 20 m inutes it takes to cook each dish. Preparation o f the R isotto, for example, begins w ith heating a shallotand-garlic blend in a large skillet w ith a tablespoon o f oil — not included in the package. T hen comes the seasoned long-grain rice, followed by the precooked w hite chicken and the veggies: peas and m atchstick carrots. T he final flourish is the Parm esan blend and lem on-herb butter. In less tim e than it takes to watch the evening news, a fairly fuss-free feast is ready. T he 29-ounce box o f C hicken R isotto and the 40-ounce box of Beef Picadillo each provide three adult servings. T hey cost $12.95 apiece. H o t Potato C oncepts has already attracted a loyal following am ong the 35 V erm ont and New H am pshire stores th at have carried the M arket Stand brand since m id-M arch. “It’s nice for us to deal w ith people w ho’ve really done th eir h om ew ork,” suggests Brad M iller, co-ow ner o f the Shelburne Superm arket. A aron M iller o f the R ichm ond C orner Store offers a g o u rm et’s perspective: “I ’m a chef by trade, and w hat we call the mise-en-place — to put in place — is right there in this p ro d u c t.” N ew m an’s entrepreneurial mise-en-place stems from the no tio n th at a source o f “stress for w orking people is w hat to make for d in n er,” he says. “It seemed to me there had to be a b etter way.”

Prog Spoiler? — Burlington Rep. Steve H ingtgen’s candidacy for Lite-Gov arrives this week like salt in the wounds caused by the 2002 rift between the Progressive Party and the Democrat Party. The little-known Hingtgen made his official announcement at the Statehouse before a “crowd” of 10 Progs, including Anthony

Pollina. Democrats see it as dSjh vu all over again, a replay of the 2002 race when Anthony Pollina’s thirdplace finish behind Democrat Peter Shumlin opened the door for Republican Brian Dubie to win with just 41 percent of the vote. This time, two liberal Ds, Cheryl Rivers and Jan Backus, have declared for Lite-Gov. Each was-extraordinarily polite when interviewed by VPR following L’il Stevie Wonderful’s Monday announcement. Each thinks she can win despite Proggy Steve pulling leftist votes. Hingtgen declared he’ll run his campaign on one, and only one, issue: affordable health care. At the moment, he appears to be the only Prog who’ll seek statewide office this year. The Progressive Party’s “major party” status appears to be major in name only. GOP Chairman Jim B arnett did his best Monday to conceal his delight in Hingtgen’s candidacy. Barnett insisted Dubie will win reelection no matter what. It took five tries to get Mad Dog to answer the question: Doesn’t the entry of the Prog can didate help Dubie, just like it did in 2002? “Hingtgen is certainly a far leftwing candidate. There are some,” conceded Barnett, “who would say that being that he is on the extreme left, the only place those votes might come from is the Democratic Party.” Thank you, James. P.S. Though a three-term legis lator from Burlap, Hingtgen was not certain Monday if he would be listed on the November ballot as Steve Hingtgen of Burlington or Steve Hingtgen of Montpelier. That’s because the Statehouse has given Steve more than political experience. He also found a sweet heart under the golden dome. Steve’s beau, Michele Childs, is an attorney with the Legislative Council. She is a Montpelier resi dent. Michele staffs the House Judiciary Committee on which Hingtgen served in 2000 when the civil-unions law was written. Love was definitely in the air that year. Wedding bells? “Not yet,” replied Steve. Stay tuned.

Howard Sightings — On Monday we’re driving the crum bling interstate to Montpeculiar and listening to Mark Johnson’s talk show on WDEV when, sud denly, the next caller turns out to be Howard Dean. Apparently HoHo has a lot of free time on his hands these days. The topic was state transporta

tion spending, and Ho-Ho sound ed liked his old gubernatorial self, the fiscal conservative with the Wall Street bloodline. Mr. Take Charge. Changing the subject, Johnson asked the former presidential anti war candidate what he thought was the “significance” of the recent rev elations about mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners. Ho-Ho sounded surprised by the question. “Ah... well, I mean, I think that... ah... it’s clearly a disaster for the country,” stumbled Dean. “You know, this is what happens when you privatize too much stuff Some of these folks were being supervised by private contractors. You can’t do that,” said Dean. “If you’re going to defend the United States of America,” contin ued Ho-Ho, “that ought to be done under the supervision of the federal government, not under a private contractor. I think that’s one of the problems we have.” Great, thanks for the manage ment analysis, but what about the sadism and torture? “I’m with the president on this one,” said Dean. “I do not believe that this represents the behavior of the vast majority of the American military. This was a relatively small number of folks who were under bad leadership.” So much for the antiwar candi date, eh? We always suspected it was a position of political conven ience. Just as well. Had the primaries turned out differently and Dean stood where John Kerry stands today, imagine the TV attack ads Karl Rove would be spitting out. As it is, the Bush campaign has pumped $75 million into groinkicking, negative TV spots trashing Sen. Kerry’s record and portraying him as anti-military. Imagine smearing a guy with a Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts won in Vietnam? Imagine if Ho-Ho had been Bush-maker Karl Rove’s target, eh? Picture a scene of a young How ard Dean going to his draft physical, patriotically toting X-rays to bolster his claim of a back condition. The next shot would show a Dean look-alike skiing down Aspen Mountain with his new draft deferment. Then a cut-away shot of wounded and dead U.S. soldiers in Vietnam. Then a voice notes that “Howard Dean says he believes in open government, but sealed thou sands of documents from his gubernatorial reign to keep them out of public view.” Oh, well. It wasn’t meant to be. Sorry, Karl.

Editorial Silence — A Statehouse lobbyist pointed it out to us Monday — the absence of an editorial in Vermont’s largest daily newspaper addressing the recent revelations about the treatment of Iraqi prisoners by their American guards. Sadomasochism and tor ture appear to be the sport of choice for some wearing the uni form of the United States. Sure enough, recent editorials in The Burlington Free Press have addressed a host of issues, from the need for child restraints in cars to applauding the former UVM hock ey players lining up in the current Tampa Bay-Philiadelphia NHL semifinal series. But not a peep on the dark cloud of war that hangs

% s> over our nation, and not a word about the president who put it there. And no call for the resigna tion o f Secretary o f Defense Donald Rumsfeld, the architect of the Iraq disaster. W hat’s odd is that the market the local G annett paper serves has no shortage of interested readers. This is, after all, Vermont. O ur entire congressional delegation voted against this mad war and they’ve been outspoken critics since. Sen. Patrick Leahy appeared Sunday m orning on ABC’s “This Week.” “Was it torture?” asked George Stephanopolous, about the trophy photos o f naked and bound Iraqis being humiliated by their allAmerican keepers. “Oh, yes,” replied Leahy. “The question is, who allowed it?” “I want to know,” said St. Patrick, his anger rising, “who the colonels were, who the generals were, who the people at the Pentagon were who knew about it and didn’t do one damn thing to stop it!” Then Leahy’s seat mate, conser vative columnist George Will, chimed in. “I agree with Sen. Leahy,” said Will. Strange bedfel lows, indeed. The blood of Vermont soldiers has been spilled in the sands of Iraq and more losses are inevitable given our current rudderless leadership. The Washington Post reported Sunday that, more and more, senior military officials are publicly ques tioning the Bush-Rumsfeld policy, likening it to a replay of America’s debacle in Vietnam.. A few days ago, the Pulitzer, Prize winning editorial page of the Rutland Herald jumped into the fray: “Rumsfeld’s resignation or firing would send the message that Bush understood how far the United States had strayed into the realm of international anarchy and that he had learned that it was im portant to honor international laws and obliga tions. But it is questionable that Bush has learned that lesson.” Meanwhile, the editorial page of the Gannett-chain newspaper that is Vermont’s largest daily is silent on the number-one story of the day, much as it was silent in 2000 during the battle over equal rights for samesex couples. Cat got your tongue, eh? PS. By the way, online readers of the Freeps have been noticing delays in posting the daily edition. Execu tive Editor Mike Townsend (a Baltimore native who came to the Freeps from Gan nett’s Des Moines Register), told Seven Days they’d had “a problem with the firewall.” “It’s been fixed,” he said Tuesday. Great.

Corrections — Poor choice of words last week about Kwik Stop Kurt being “let go.” Some interpret ed that to mean “fired.” N ot at all. It was Rep. Kurt W right’s own decision to leave Kerry’s Kwik Stop. He departed on good terms. Kurt’s the one who let go. And our line from the bard was incorrectly attributed to Henry IV. Goodness gracious. It was Henry V. D am n English kings. O nline reader Rachel in the Big Apple caught it first.

Matthew Thorsen Grand Opening, Firehouse Center for th e Visual Arts, B urlington. Saturday, May 15, noon - 5 p.m. PH O TO

A visitor takes in th e current Firehouse Exhibit "The Testimony of Trees."

n Pascal Spengemann’s third day in Burlington, in 1995, he went to the Firehouse Gallery and found he couldn’t get in. It was the middle of the day, and the place was locked up. Curious, he located Burlington City Arts next door at City Hall and asked what was going on. As it turned out, Spengemann was in the right place at the right time. BCA hired him to be a gallery-sitter, and he started the very next day, for $7 an hour. Several m onths later, he became the curator. And then he became a crucial link between artists and viewers, the friendly public face o f the Firehouse and an impassioned visionary for its future. It seemed only logical that he would help choose his successor, who m ight be hired later this week. The new curator will be working in a Firehouse that looks very differ ent from what Spengemann encoun tered nearly nine years ago. Even when you could find that old door — facing the adjacent alley and not the street — it was a heavy, metal thing and hard to push open, he recalls. But that will seem like ancient history this weekend, when the Firehouse throws open not only its accessible glass entrances but the entire building. A gala celebration all day Saturday will invite the public to experience the current m ulti-media exhibit, “T he Testimony o f Trees” by Sylvia Safdie and John Heward; a public-art tour on a vintage firetruck; pottery demonstrations; a camera obscura; art-m aking projects; and a really big group photo — updating one taken outside the fire station when it was built-in 1889. N ot least, visitors can see all five floors o f the place, completely transformed, for \ the first time. And the transformation, guided

by Burlington architect John Anderson, is stunning — especially so for anyone who may not have set foot in the place since the building housed, say, the former offices o f the Church Street Center or a young Senator Patrick Leahy. A capital cam paign that began more than five years ago is funding the buildings renova tion, explains Doreen Kraft, the exec utive director o f Burlington City Arts, which manages the Firehouse. An initial estimate o f $2.2 million increased twice, she says — in large part because o f unexpected challenges in modifying, and shoring up, a 19th-century structure. The full cost o f the expansion is expected to be $3.5 million; BCA fundraisers are currently about $400,000 shy o f that goal. A visit this weekend will likely convince visitors the cost was w orth it, especially since very little o f the money came from taxpayers’ pockets. The city provides only a tenth of BCA’s annual operating budget o f $800,000, Kraft; reveals; the rest is raised through grants and private donations. A bout half that budget, she estimates, goes to the Firehouse. Though this weekend’s event is billed as a “grand opening,” in fact T hat glass “storefront” was installed in 1998. Since then, the gallery expanded to encompass the whole first floor, with more glass extending the view to City Hall Park in back. A new elevator hoists passengers to shows, lectures, films or receptions on the second floor. A new kitchen makes private functions possible. A com m unity darkroom and other classrooms in the basement expanded the art-education offerings — a criti cal element o f the Firehouse’s mis

sion. Burlington artist Kate Pond cre ated one of the “public-art” compo nents o f the building: the steel floor grate that greets visitors at the side entrance. W hat the public has not yet seen is a spacious, light-filled classroom upstairs with a state-of-the-art, OSHA-approved ventilation system, necessary for oil painting; the studio for the Firehouse’s new artist-in-residence program, which will partner with St. Michael’s College and the

Fletcher Allen Health Care and the Boys & Girls Club. To some minds, this com m unity arts education is the primary reason for the existence of BCA, which came into being during the first administration o f Mayor Bernie Sanders in the early 1980s. According to long-time BCA board member Judy Kelley, “Various assess ments over the years have told us that art education is what the com m unity wants. There are many children that fall in the cracks, and I think the

University o f Vermont; or the com pletely new*stairwell, added on in order to maximize the interior space. W ith its increased capacity and diversity, the Firehouse Gallery has m orphed into the Firehcyise Center for the Visual Arts — a place where, as BCA board member Dana vanderHeyden puts it, “anyone who’s interested in the arts can come. In many ways,” she adds, “I think the actual completion o f the Firehouse has exceeded what we had hoped it would be.”

METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING, the Firehouse is blazing. It offers numerous classes both under its own roof and at the Memorial Auditorium Annex; BCA runs several other programs at outposts such as

Firehouse is addressing those needs.” Kelley points out that fundraising is ongoing to support “an enormous scholarship program” for kids. All that said, the street-level gallery of the Firehouse is still its front line, its most engaging aspect to passersby. And the work visible through the glass storefront instantmessages something to the public about Art & Culture itself. In a way, the content o f that message continues to be shaped by Pascal Spengemann, even though he left nearly two years ago to pursue a master’s degree in curatorial studies at Bard College. Now 32, he and business partner Kelley Taxter are operating their own nascent gallery in M anhattan’s hip Chelsea neighborhood. Anyone who has observed the Firehouse over the years credits

Spengemann for its artistic vision. “Pascal really set a cut ting edge for art we don’t see at a lot o f galleries in tow n,” sug gests Judy Kelley. “H e’s a very, very talented m an and he put everything into the gallery, and it showed.” U nder Spengemann’s watch, art openings for new shows became “a real melting pot — older people and young peo ple,” says vanderHeyden, w hose. husband Marc is the president o f St. Michael’s College, a spon sor o f the Firehouse. Spenge m ann was able to “generate a real meaningful appreciation of and excitement for the arts,” she suggests. (Another collegepresident wife, Rachel KahnFogel, also sits on the BCA board and represents the grow ing interaction between the gallery and UVM.) Spengemann’s assessment of his Firehouse tenure is charac teristically more modest: “I had a sort o f plan, but you don’t really think about a vision — it’s instinctual as m uch as any thing,” he says. “I tried to cre ate something that would inter est me. If I could get excited about it, I could do m y ‘stump speech’ and get other people excited about it.” Pressed to recall some o f his favorite exhibitions, Spenge mann points to some that have become annual ocurrences: for one, the “Process/Progress” show, at which artists spend a m onth actually creating art in the gallery. “I was trying to fig ure out a way to show people what happens in an artist’s stu dio, the excitement o f that,” he says. “There was also a selfish reason — in the middle o f February it was fun to have 10 people around, a beehive o f activity.” O ne o f the now-annual shows, the “Firehouse O pen,” arose from Spengemann’s lowest m om ent at the gallery — a 1999 Selene Colburn show o f collaborative paintings featuring a male nude with an erect penis. M unicipal policy did not allow this type o f sexual display, and C olburn was asked to remove the painting. In protest, she took down the whole show, thereby provoking a firestorm of publicity — both positive and negative — about censor ship and the role o f a public art facility. “O n a personal level, that was a real disastrous position for me to be in,” Spengemann recalls. “In hindsight I would have liked to stick up for Selene’s art more than I did; I kind o f had to play both sides, and it was really hard for me. I guess I was exercising my fledg ling diplomatic skills.” But he took the lemons and made lemonade. W ith a sched uled art opening 24 hours away, Spengemann somehow got word out that he would accept one work each from the first 50 artists who showed up the next m orning — provided they did n’t defy the city’s content guide lines. T he response was . resounding, and the show was a hit. Spengemann handled the

controversy “very, very well,” says Judy Kelley. “Pascal had great integrity... and I think we’re going to carry on in the same way.” “I don’t feel Pascal has le ft. and probably never will,” says Kraft. “H e’s still a contributing m ember o f the team even though he’s off the payroll.” In fact, he didn’t simply disappear — last year Spengemann curat ed all the shows for the Fire house, com m uting from Bard.

BCA Director Doreen Kraft This year he’s guest-curated two: in January, the hum orous/political realist paintings o f former Vermonter Max Schumann; and the recent pop ular “chirping-bird” installation by Jeff Hatfield. “You don’t replace Pascal, you build on what he created,” notes Kraft. “He was a trem en dous force in setting the direc tion o f what the Firehouse is today. H e’s a team player, but is very strong aesthetically, and has a sense o f civic responsibili ty. And, he could speak to any one — including members o f the adm inistration.” Spengemann notes that peo ple have very strong reactions to art, and he thinks it’s a good thing “that art still has that kind o f power.” It’s a relation ship to the visual world that he liked to encourage at the Firehouse. “He brought people along with him ,” says Kraft. “He had the ability to pull peo ple over the threshold o f the gallery, and create a comfort level for them. A nd,” she enthuses, “he has a natural wis dom and compassion that is unusual in the art world, and in young people.” Spengemann’s reputation and accomplishments may feel like an intim idating legacy, but then again, the next curator will be glad that he both raised the bar on artistic standards and established a template for inter esting, adventurous shows. “I was pretty free, and I think it worked out all right,” Spenge m ann says. “I think the next curator can expand the scope, really beat the bushes. We start ed showing just local artists and ended up with this really iconic artist [Alice Neel, last year]. I think you’re going to see more o f that at the Firehouse in the future.” “It’s a tremendous opportu nity for a person here,” says Kraft, who suggests that Spengemann’s successor will also have a lot o f latitude in set ting the artistic agenda. “We don’t have a very large bu4get, but we’ll grow that way — [the new curators] strength and vision will allow us to do th at.”®

Talk about a star-studded cast. T he folks behind the food at the newly renovated Lakeview Inn in Greensboro have credits reaching from Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom to sunny California. Manager Sarah McNamara graduated from Cornell’s hotel management school before she took over front-house operations at a series o f high-end San Fran restaurants. H er husband, Kevin, is a Hollywood director whose resume includes assisting on films like The Matrix: Reloaded, The Green M ile and The Perfect Storm. Their new chef, plucked from California’s Left

Bank Brasserie, has worked under two James Beard award-winners. Steven Obranovich has already cooked up a vari ety o f recipes that incorporate Vermont products — like the herb-crusted rack of lamb with asparagus-fontina bread pud ding. Both the meat and the bread are from local sources. And there’s another Green M ountain angle: the February pur chase o f the historic property by a group o f local investors was financed in part by a loan from the Vermont Economic Development Authority. Nice combo. T he guv will be among the guests at this week end’s grand opeiiing.

Spring Hours: 9-6 weekdays, 8-6 Saturday, 10-6 Sunday fo r information call 899-5123 or visit us at www.arcana.ws

Finkerman’s Barbecue is quickly dispelling Montpelier’s vegetarian image — to the tune of a ton of meat a week, much of it raised in Vermont. Since its opening two months ago in a former storage shed tucked out of the way along the Winooski River, the familystyle restaurant has been feeding between 200 and 450 people a day. A second smoker has been added to meet the demand for Southern-style spare ribs and pork shoulder. Customers choose from a dizzying array of 15 side dishes, ranging from “greens of the day” to stone-ground grits with jalapeno peppers and cheese. It’s a change of pace for owners Richard Fink and Lee Duberman, who also own the intimate, outof-the-way Ariel restaurant in Brookfield. Both barbecue fans, “We wanted to do something we knew would work in Montpelier. . . that would be accessible, both physically and monetarily,” says Duberman. It’s that, and more, once you find the place.

Vergennes is a small city with a big appetite. T hat motivates Eat Good Food to do a little bit of everything — tasty dishes to order, specialty groceries, take out meals and catering. Coming up? Sit-down dinners. Starting Memorial Day weekend, the cafe-emporium will serve until 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. There will likely be three entree and two side-dish choices, says owner Tara Vaughan-Hughes, who expects the ambience to approxi mate a “nice rustic Italian bar becue.” Never m ind that “scal lop brochette with a limejalapeno marinade” sounds more Mexican than Italian. The point is that it’s a late-night alfresco eating option. Get it while you can.

MARY'S AT BALDWIN CREEK — BRISTOL Doug M ack was one o f the first Vermont chefs to make the con nection between good eating and local agriculture. He was a founder o f the Vermont Fresh Network and eight years ago started a weekly dinner showcas ing the products o f individual neighborhood farms. Occasionally, a farm tour or cooking class is part o f the deal. This year’s “farmhouse dinner series” runs Wednesday nights from July 7 through August 25, featuring beef, venison, cheese and vegetable producers. And it looks like the farmer-foodie rela tions have really rubbed off on Mack. H e’s dramatically expand ed the size o f the garden at Mary’s, where mesclun, bok choy, spinach and heirloom tomatoes now grow in abun dance. It’s handy to cultivate your own ingredients — maybe handier than phoning up the farm down the road. Mack sug gests, “You can walk out and say, ’This is what I’m going to make today.’”

B eet Carpaccio w ith V erm ont Goat Cheese an d m in t V in aig re tte Serves 6 Ingredients 12 2-inch beets, trim m ed, any color or type (Mack prefers golden) 1 cup crumbled Vermont goat cheese (Mack uses Blue Ledge Farm in Leicester) 2 Tbs. minced shallot 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar 1/3 cup fresh m int 1/4 olive oil 1 1/2 tsp. sugar 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives Prepare the beets: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place beets on bak ing sheet that has been lined with foil and sprayed to avoid sticking. If using two different colored beets, use two separate pans. Sprinkle beets lightly with water. Cover with foil, and bake until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork — about 40 minutes. Cool on sheet. Peel. Beets can be prepped one day in advance, placed in a plastic bag and chilled.

Assemble dish: Using a cheese slicer or a m andolin, slice beets very thin. O n a chilled serving plate, slightly overlap the slices ‘on six plates, dividing equally. Sprinkle with goat cheese, then the shallots and a pinch o f salt and pepper. W hisk vinegar, m int, oil and sugar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over beets. Garnish with chives.

JACKSON HOUSE INN WOODSTOCK It takes a lot o f money to lure a young chef away from a renowned restaurant like Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago. Or, in the case o f Graham Elliot Bowles, a lot o f wild ramps, cattails and fiddleheads. The 27-year-old who runs the restaurant at Woodstock’s Jackson House Inn relishes the opportunity to for age for food that makes his culi nary creations iiber-\im(\\ie. After only a year there, Bowles was selected by Food & Wine maga zine as one o f America’s 10 best new chefs o f 2004 — his is the only Vermont name on the list. “O u r approach to food is that it’s really an a rV says Bowles, who cooks for a 60-seat dining room with his pastry-chef wife. His 10-course tasting m enu is a three-and-a-half-hour affair that might include seared La Belle Farm foie gras served with stewed apricots, pistachio ice cream and fleur de sel — as an appetizer. Bowles predicts both Vermont and Maine are poised to become food destinations in the next few years. He says, “A lot o f younger chefs are really looking at where the good stuff comes from .”

SOUTHERN SOUL — BURLINGTON

AMERICAN FLATBREAD — BURLINGTON

W ho knew Burlington was h u n gry for Southern-style fried cat fish with collard greens and can died yams? T he folks who dreamed up Southern Soul Chicken and Ribs, for one. Just as Finkerman’s Riverside Barbecue is booming in Montpelier, the lines are getting longer for take-out at Burlington’s new and only source o f soul food. Aaron Jackson and Dannis Hackney are partners in the business, and Aarons mom, Serena, is cooking it up. “If you came to my family reunion, this is the type of food that would be sitting on the table,” says Aaron. “It’s Southern comfort food, made with loving care. T h at’s one o f the reasons it tastes so good.” T he other rea son? Good ole pork fat.

You could never say that con verting the old Carbur’s space into the next American * Flatbread was easy as pie. C o owner Rob Downey puts it diplomatically: “The project was not inexpensive. There-were things we knew and things we should have know n.” They knew the 55,000-pound clay oven would have to be built on the premises, and shored up underneath with some engineer ing wizardry. They didn’t realize the extent to which decades of heavy restaurant use had eroded the plum bing arid electrical infrastructure. Planning the flow o f people in a location that doesn’t allow for outside bonfires was also a challenge. T he simple part? Selling those sizzling suck ers when they open the doors at the beginning o f next week.

4 or 5 bundles o f collard greens 4 cups water seasoned salt ham bone or ham hock De-stem collard greens, cut cross-wise into strips, and soak in cold, salted water overnight. Boil in a pot with four cups o f water sprinkled with seasoned salt. After 45 minutes, add a ham bone or ham hock. Cook for at least two hours, until meat falls off the bone and the water is absorbed.

V erm ont Grill Sauce Good on mixed vegetables and chicken. For best results, use a hardwood Fire. Ingredients: 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup pure maple syrup 3-4 cloves o f fresh garlic, minced 1 tsp. dried thyme or 1 Tbs. fresh or 3 Tbs. chopped fresh chives or 1 tsp. dried rosemary or 1 Tbs. fresh 1 tsp. good salt, to taste

(kosher, sea, sel gris) fresh ground pepper, to taste 1-2 tsp. hot pepper flakes (optional) Prepare the sauce: Put all the above ingredients in a medium-sized stainless steel bowl and whisk until emulsified. Prepare the foods to be grilled: Wash, peel and prepare veg etables. Thickly slice sweet onion, eggplant, zucchini and red or yellow bell peppers. Leave mushrooms whole. Broccoli and green beans also work well. In a large, non-reactive bowl, toss all vegetables or chicken in the sauce. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. Grill: Grill vegetables over a mediumhot fire until golden brown and slightly tender. Grill chicken just until the pink has been cooked out. T he meat should still be moist. Grilling hints: •If your fire flares up or is too hot, spritz with water. Repeat as necessary. •Tongs are the best tool for turning food on the grill. Turn or flip chicken frequently. •If vegetables fall through the grill grates, try using a perforat ed grilling pan. They are sold at kitchen-supply stores. •Stay by the grill when there is food on it. Grills cook hot and can go from just right to burned in seconds.

GOOSE CREEK FARM KAHIKI MOON — BURLINGTON Its not that the food at Burlington’s first tiki lounge is going to be secondary to the fancy drinks. But co-owner and eBay enthusiast James Kathary is clearly more interested in the aesthetics o f the place than the edibles. “Polynesian is just like Chinese and Japanese with pineapple thrown in,” he sug gests — “a lot o f fish... I have a strong feeling the bar is going to carry the place.” N o doubt. W hen Kahiki M oon opens at the beginning o f June, there’ll be lots of mai tais and martinis — classic and original. The seating sounds creative, too. “You’ll be going into your own tiki h u t,” says Thackary, who has an elabo rate prototype for the bar in his basement. “We truly mean for it to be an escape. T hat will be very im portant in Burlington in the winter.” So too will heating the old H ector’s space up to something warmer than it was, he acknowledges. N othing like goosebumps to destroy the swanky fantasy o f Blue Hawaii in Vermont.

1 5 8 MAIN — JEFFERSONVILLE It’s no wonder everyone refers to Jeffersonville’s new eatery as 158 Main. Its full name — 158 Main Restaurant and Bakery at W indridge Farms — is a m outh ful. So are the plates-full o f tra ditional and fancy food being served there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. “O u r menu is geared to four markets,” says Chris Parker, who owns the eatery with J-ville brothers Jack and Greg Foley. Shrewdly, they want everyone — native Vermonters, transplanted locals, tourists and C hittenden County types — to feel at home. T hat means you can get a super-sized serving o f chipped beef and gravy on toast with two eggs and home-fries for $5.58. The classier sesame-seared yellow fin tuna is $14.58. Yup, the “58” thing is part o f the theme. Parker is also pushing the baked goods, which are being turned out by a 20-year-old N EC I grad. H e’s using an old M iddleby Marshall oven to make the bread. Thanks to him, 158 also has a strong “pastry presence,” as

Certified^ Organic

Parker puts it. It’s good to know the world still has a few Atkinsfree zones.

864.0414 SH0REHAM INN — Molly and Dominic Francis took over the 200-year-old Shoreham Inn in December and promptly transformed it into a proper — read: casual — British-style pub. Dominic, who is English, has been busy in the kitchen since St. Patty’s Day. “You can come for a drink and a nibble or you can have a whole meal,” says Molly. “There aren’t hostesses with seating charts.” The relaxed atmosphere — and pork chops — apparently appeal to the neighbors. “We’ve * had people from Middlebury and Cornwall, but it’s amazing how many people are purely local,” says Molly. Better have a look-see before the inn crowd discovers it, too.

CAFE PROVENCE — BRANDON You’ve gotta hand it to New England Culinary Institute. Its graduates are stirring up the restaurant scene in Vermont.

SARAH TUFF IMAGE

MATTHEW T H O R SE N Check out the Big Chile Republic menu at www.bigchile republic.com

ast November strange flyers began to appear around Burlington. T hey were swooshed with a chile pepper and stapled to corkboards on C hurch Street bars, slipped under windshield wipers, and looped over doorknobs w ith a rubber band. “Sunday m enu no. 1,” read the sheets o f paper. “M inim um o f 2 items per order please/delivering every hour 11 to 5pm .” T he business was called, mys teriously, Big Chile Republic. No address, just a phone num ber and three items on the menu. At first, everyone pretty m uch ignored this guerilla marketing. T hen a few adventurous customers began to order the burritos and tacos and discovered the stuff was actually good. Really good. But what, and who, was Big Chile Republic? And, with no storefront, where were they cooking up these tasty tortillas? I vowed to find out. But first, I ordered from the online m enu and devoured the polio de arbol tacos, verduras y frijoles bianco burro and recado tacos de came asada. T hen I managed to convince the pair behind the Republic — Chris Hechanova and Andrew Lawrence — to talk to me about their new enterprise. N o, I couldn’t come to their kitchen, they said, b u t we could meet over coffee

in town. “H ram , w hat’s wrong with their kitchen?” I thought. T hough disappointed not to get a peek at their stove, I agreed to the neutral territory and put the guys on the grill instead.

“In Chicago, there are amazing Mexican dives, a dime a dozen, as many as blues joints,” he says. “A round here — and I know this may sound arrogant — there was nothing even close.”

experience, but not enough capital, to launch a venture o f his own. Enter Andrew Lawrence, a recent graduate o f the University of Vermont. T he two began to cook up a plan to bring more “south o f the

O n e c u s to m e r w arned, “D o n ’t get a storefront or a s p a c e downtown! Keep your overhead dow n and keep the whole underground vibe going. It’s totally w o rk ing, yo u ’re starting to develop a cult...” T he underground delivery service got fired up late last fall after Hechanova, 31, and Lawrence, 22, had stirred the idea around while cooking at Burlington’s Iron W olf restaurant. “It wasn’t a really crazy notion,” says Hechanova. H e moved to Vermont from Chicago in 2002 to study at the New England Culinary Institute (N ECI), and started looking for good Mexican food in the area.

Hechanova also discovered that he couldn’t study at N E C I and support him self simultaneously, so he opted to cook full-time, beginning at Smokejacks before gigs at O and Iron Wolf. For months,' the idea o f a new Mexican place simmered in the back o f his m ind. Having worked at Robert Redford’s prestigious Sundance Resort in U tah and other top restaurants, Hechanova had the

border” to, well, south o f the Canadian border. “I’m kind o f a goofball, and Andrew’s kind o f a goofball. H e’s got a car, and I’ve got the background and I love cooking,” says Hechanova. “So we started to get creative about doing som ething w ith zero capital.” T he pair spent a couple weeks com ing up with a name, whispering conspiratorially as they worked at

A p r il Iron Wolf. T hen, Hechanova designed the first menu: adobo chicken tacos, braised black bean and chickpea burrito, and marinated beef burrito with lime crime fraiche. He planned to cook everything in his apart ment in the O ld N orth End. Because they were still work ing full-time, Hechanova and Lawrence decided to offer the takeout cuisine only on Sundays. T he week before open ing day, November 9, Lawrence distributed 600 menus around town. They shopped for tor tillas, tomatoes, beans, cilantro and more, and stayed up all Saturday night prepping the ingredients for their first hour of deliveries at 11 a.m. T hen they waited for the phone to ring — and waited some more. “N ot a single call,” says Lawrence with a laugh. “We were O K with it, because our overhead was zero,” says Hechanova. “I basically fig ured that we'd just be eating rice and beans for a while, and was pretty confident that it was only a matter o f tim e.” Sure enough, by week two — and m enu two; they change every week — the fledgling entrepreneurs received an order for pork burritos. Some curious friends stopped by to try out a few dishes. Big Chile was get ting warmer. The day after we first meet, Lawrence does show me around their kitchen, which in fact has nothing wrong with it. As nar row as a ship’s galley, the space is immaculate and stacked with professional All-Clad pots and Calphalon pans. An adjacent pantry area holds crates o f tomatillos, avocados and tom a toes on a wire shelf. Hechanova and Lawrence pick up fresh herbs at Price Chopper; their other ingredients come from local farmers, Burlington Foods and a Mexican specialty distrib utor in New Jersey. Tacked to the wall o f the kitchen, just below a giant map of Chittenden County, is a commercial catering license from the Verm ont D epartm ent of Health. Shortly after taking their first orders, Hechanova and Lawrence arranged for an inspection. “We get regular calls now from the health depart m ent ordering food,” says Lawrence. T h at should tell you som ething about their score. Big Chile Republic has sever al other regular customers who began calling around the same time earlier this year; some o f them send com m ents via email.

“I just tried my first burrito from you folks,” writes one. “I was blown away by how deli cious it was. Finally, Burlington has a Southwestern alternative that is original, delicious and healthy. Keep up the good work. I’ll be ordering again from you soon.” O ne night, when the two entrepreneurs were at Three Needs celebrating Big Chile’s launch, they met Zack Amaral, a part-tim e carpenter and pizza courier who offered to help deliver orders when things got busy. And they soon did. Hechanova and Lawrence scaled back their work at Iron Wolf, and eventually quit in order to run their Republic Sunday through Thursday nights. “People have asked us for Friday and Saturday, but I didn’t want to compete with pizza places,” says Hechanova. “Plus we need time to replenish — both our selves and oyr supplies.” c W hile Hechanova does all the cooking, Amaral and Lawrence divvy up the deliver ies; all three have developed a unique rapport w ith their grow ing base o f customers. “People get really, really excited for the Big Chile Republic,” Amaral reports. “Plus it’s m uch more personal than just delivering a pizza.” “T he ‘m atriculation’ rate week after week is unbeliev able. .. people invite you into their homes, and you meet their dogs or their children or their significant other,” adds Lawrence. “W ere not like the Cable Guy, but on the other hand, it’s nice to be able to know someone beyond the reg ular point-of-sale purchase.” Seeing the same names every week on their caller ID, says Hechanova, “makes our job have more m eaning... We’re actually creating bonds with people.” N o t everyone is so happy, however. “O u r guerrilla m arket ing techniques sometimes offend people,” Lawrence admits, referring both to the paper waste and to the in tru sion. O ne Burlington resident was more to the point: “I do not appreciate your advertising m ethod o f sticking a m enu on my door. Please keep your garbage away from my door.” In fact, Hechanova and Lawrence are now turning toward more eco-friendly adver tising approaches. Since adding Tuesday and Wednesday lunchtim e service about a m onth ago, they’ve been doling »

IIAMI.IyYN ajiiaJ “Celebrating 30 years o f gardening pleasure”

o one requests Meals on Wheels in order to sample exotic or gourmet cuisine. W hen people sign up for the nonprofit delivery service, it’s usually because they need help — forw hatever reason, they’re STORY unable to cook for themselves. But that CATHY doesn’t stop the chefs at Burlington Meals R E SM E R on Wheels from getting creative. T he 32year-old agency employs a kitchen staff of IMAGES four and an executive director, Peter MATTHEW Carmolli, who enjoys livening up the T H O R SE N menu. “Last summer I got a special deal on smoked trout,” says the 40-year-old Contact adm inistrator and self-described foodie. Burlington Meals on Wheels “O ne day we served smoked trout on mesclun greens with a dill Dijon vinai at 862-6253, Monday-Friday, grette dressing.” 7 a.m. - noon. Carmolli’s mostly elderly clients don’t always appreciate this ingenuity, however. Sitting in his tiny office in Burlington’s Cathedral Square apartjnent building, he recalls a time a few years ago when one of the chefs made fajitas for Cinco de Mayo. “I m ust have gotten a dozen calls,” he says, shaking his head. “They were asking, ‘W hat is this uncooked dough?’ I said, ‘N o more fajitas. They’re not ready for that.’” Carmolli still serves moussaka, a Greek dish, but he disguises it. “We don’t call it that,” he confides. “We call it something that people like, like ‘M editerranean beef.’” Still, Carmolli and the staff and volun teers at Burlington Meals on Wheels understand they’re providing more than just food. T he service is a lifeline for its

recipients; it allows them to remain in their homes and stay connected to the outside world through the daily visits from volunteers. And at $3.50 for a hot dinner — $5.50 if you add a supper of salad and a sandwich — it’s a heck o f a deal. “We can feed one person for an entire year for less than it costs to spend one day in the hospital,” boasts Carmolli. Interestingly, this was not the purpose o f the original dinner-delivery system. According to the Website for the Meals on Wheels Association o f America, the term originated in England during the German blitz o f W orld War II. As Brits lost their homes, and therefore their ability to cook, in bom bing raids, the W omen’s Volunteer Service for Civil Defense began handing out food and delivering refreshments to servicemen. This organized nutrition pro gram soon became known as Meals on Wheels. T he idea spread to the United States in 1954, when a program was launched in Philadelphia. Burlington’s M O W opened for business in a church basement in 1972. It’s one of several such groups throughout the state, all o f which operate independently. The Burlington agency covers Burlington, South Burlington, Shelburne, Charlotte and Winooski. In the beginning, BM O W produced 20 meals a week for four clients. Today the group serves more than 300 meals a day to more than 200 recipients. D uring the week o f my recent visit, it dis tributed 1795 meals. »

W hen I show up for a tour at 7:30, hot chef Lisa Best is cutting turkey on a large, industrial sheer, while cold chef — and former city councilor — Bill Stahl races around preparing hard-boiled eggs and potato salad. The two youthful kitchen aides, both o f whom play in local bands, prep food at a large stainless-steel table and wash dishes. A funky mix o f rock, pop, hip-hop and reggae plays over the kitchen stereo.

“California blend” o f broccoli, cauliflower and carrots — one of the only items on todays menu that isn’t made from scratch. “We try to make the vegeta bles soft enough that you can crush them between your pinkie and your thum b,” Carmolli says. “O u r biggest com plaint is that our vegetables are too hard. O ur second-biggest? T hat our vegeta bles are too soft.” Indeed, B M O W deals with some fussy clients. Carmolli and his staff try to accommodate everyone, often making separate meals for people who don’t eat ham, or turkey, or can’t have dairy. A sheet o f legal paper on

W e can feed o n e p er son for an entire year for less than it costs to sp en d o n e day in the hospital. PETER CARMOLLI, DIRECTOR BURLINGTON MEALS ON WHEELS

Carmolli sits down w ith me for an interview but soon jumps up to show off the 1344-squarefoot space, which was built specifically for B M O W in the basement o f Cathedral Square. It houses the commercial-grade kitchen, a small office, dry stor age and a walk-in fridge. We stop at the vegetable steamer, before the chefs load the

the fridge oudines the mindboggling array o f meal recipi ents’ dietary requirements and preferences. T he paper, covered in color-coded notations, and neat pieces o f white tape that obscure some names, is clearly the work o f a highly organized mind. Before joining B M O W in 1998, Carmolli worked in

finance^— hardly surprising considering his nit-picky atten tion to detail. W hen we return to his office, he shows me a slightly yellowed index card he keeps taped above his desk, just below his Vermont Expos sched ule. O n it are the numbers o f meals the kitchen has prepared each year since 1998 — 51,236 that year, compared to 93,222 in 2003 — and the exact cost per meal: $3.26 in 1998, down to $3.04 last year. Though M O W charges more than that, only a fraction o f the clients can actual ly pay. T he remainder comes from grants and fundraising. W hen I express my amaze m ent that the meals are so inex pensive, Carmolli quickly credits the most im portant Meals on Wheels ingredient: “T he volun teers are our lifeblood,” he says. “W ithout them, we close tom or row.” M O W volunteers generally deliver meals one day each m onth, roughly from 10:15 until noon. Carmolli estimates that around 200 to 300 volun teers deliver meals in the sum mer months. T he num ber drops to as low as 150 in the winter, $ because most o f the drivers are £ retired and fly south to escape * the cold m onths. A few minutes before 10, > while Carmolli and the kitchen staff are scooping four ounces each o f turkey, stuffing, gravy and veggies into little trays, the volunteers appear in the hallway. Nancy Mitchell, the seventy something volunteer coordina tor, has been delivering meals since 1972. I ask if she’s had any interesting experiences during deliveries. “I’ve found a few o f ' »

M itchell h as ag reed to le t me tag along with her and her friend Elsie Simonds this morning. M itchell’s driving; Simonds is handing over the food. We head up N orth Avenue toward the New N orth End in M itchell s blue Chevy M onte Carlo. O n the way, the women explain that, though they check in with everyone when distributing meals, there really isn’t m uch time to visit. Clients call to complain if lunch is late. Besides, says Mitchell, sometimes you don’t want to talk. She recalls a man who always came to the door in his underwear. B M O W put a notice on his delivery card. “It said, ‘It is advisable that no M O W volunteer go inside his door,”’ she tells me. I accompany Simonds to a few doors hoping to talk to some clients, but the exchanges are always short. “Hi!” “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” “Thanks a lot.” Later I do speak with two recipients, both o f whom say they love the meals and the- •, people who deliver1^them. Sixty-six-year-old Helen Sadlier has received M O W for a year and a half. She especially likes the meatloaf, and fondly remembers the time volunteers brought her a “survival bag” during a snowstorm. Eleonore Hasse, 92, has been on M O W since a bad fall last November. “I lived in O regon,” she tells me. “They had Meals on Wheels there, and they were nothing like this. They’d have the same thing three days in a row. These are w onderful.” After we finish our route, Mitchell and I head to the Shanty on the Shore, where she’s meeting some o f her M O W friends for lunch. We’re joined by JoAnn Murray, a retired assistant vice president of mortgages at Key Bank, who promptly hands us two recipes. One is for a low-carb “Unpotato Salad,” the other for “South Beach Mashed ‘Potatoes. ” M urray has been involved with Meals on Wheels for 18 years and is eager to share her own stories. “O ne lady, I came to the door and she handed me a flashlight,” she says. “I thought, oh gosh, is she going to ask me to put in her ear medication? But she asked me to look at the therm ostat.” M urray seems deeply affect ed by the people she’s served. “W hen you read in the paper that one o f them has died,” she says, “you feel like you’ve lost a friend.” I a$k if she’d ever take Meals on Wheels. M urray laughs nervously and dodges the question. “I hope I never have to.”®

hat comes to m ind w hen you think “personal chef?” Perhaps a glossy spread in In Style touting G w yneth Paltrow’s m acrobiotic diet or J. Lo’s decision to eat salm on three times a day. M aybe a STORY Park Avenue m atron peddling madly on MARGOT the Exercycle while som eone in a white H A R RISO N hat whips up her egg-white om elette in the kitchen. In the popular im agination, personal IMAGE chefs are the secret weapon rich people ANDY D UBA C K use to exem pt themselves from other busy Americans’ sloppy eating habits. But while the world has been gawking at celebrity excesses, personal chefs have been quietly w orking their way into the m ainstream . “I used to th in k there w ould be one niche that my clients w ould com e from. It is all over the place,” says W endy Gagliardi, w ho has been w orking as a personal chef in the greater Burlington area since January. If her clients have one thing in com m on, it’s their self-con scious lack o f desire to em ulate the lifestyles o f pam pered stars. “Vermonters are pretty self-sufficient,” Gagliardi explains. “Some people here even seem embarrassed about [hiring me], whereas in N ew York they m ight be bragging to friends.” As a cook, Gagliardi is largely selftaught. U ntil last June she was a science teacher in the B urlington schools’ Horizons program ; after a day o f m oti vating at-risk teenagers, she relaxed by cooking for her family. T h en she decid ed to try turning her kitchen skills into a career. Last w inter Gagliardi headed for the C ulinary Business Institute in C herry Hill, N ew Jersey. O n e o f three teaching establishm ents ru n by the

U nited States Personal C h ef Association (USPCA), it certifies and insures person al chefs. After a week-long, 50-hour course in an intim ate class o f seven, Gagliardi was ready to start her own business, Simply G ourm et. “We learned things you w ould learn in culinary school,” she says. “C ooking for the freezer, knife skills — plus things like business aspects and m enu planning.” W hile she’s m anaged to snag seven clients, a business like this takes a while to build, and Gagliardi finds her experi ence as a teacher comes in handy: “I’m used to n ot m aking that m uch,” she explains. Gagliardi’s day doesn’t begin w ith w hipping up omelettes; w hen it comes to breakfast, her clients are on their own. By 8:30 a.m., the 31-year-old South B urlington resident has shared a bowl o f cereal w ith her toddler, dropped him off at daycare, and is roam ing the produce section o f the W illiston Shaw’s, scoping o ut the freshness labels on bags o f field greens. A trim , soft-spoken w om an in a sweatshirt, her hair held back by a plastic claw,* Gagliardi w ould look like any w orking m om doing a week’s shopping if her clipboarded, highlighted list didn’t bespeak more organization. In fact, she’s shopping today for two weeks’ w orth o f meals, all for a single client. ‘ “T his one loves vegetables,” Gagliardi says. H er purchases are driven by recipes, client preferences and freshness concerns — on Wednesday, w hen Shaw’s doesn’t have fish delivery, she’ll take a late-m orning detour to the N et Result in South B urlington.

though, the shopping expedi tion is a series o f precision strikes. After forays dow n the meat and dairy aisles, w ith sidetrips for caffeine fueling and a small pot o f flowers — an appreciation gift for the client — Gagliardi is ready to check out and load the victuals into the tru n k o f her silver Toyota minivan. Already inside the Qar is a stack o f boxes that hold the tools o f her trade: non-stick skillets, stainless-steel bowls, whisks and a set o f ch efs knives in a sleek black vinyl case that looks like a prop from “T he Sopranos. ” W ith her traveling arsenal, Gagliardi can cook up five entrees in a hom e as bare as a bachelor pad — in fact, the uncluttered kitchens o f non-cooks can be the easiest to work in. “I love this one because her

total bill — between $75 and $90 for a couple. Clients fill o ut an extensive food question naire — likes, dislikes, allergies — and vet m enus in advance via email. Customers also use email for feedback: “Love the thyme- and leek-braised pork tenderloin, but more meatloaf, please.” Gagliardi’s recipes come mostly from her extensive library o f Cooking Light magazines. And, not surprisingly, light cooking is just w hat m ost o f her clients are after. Some o f them request calorie counts; m ost w ant to minim ize the carbs and/or fat grams. “In the m ajority o f couples, one person wants a low-carb diet, b ut not actually A tkins,” says Gagliardi. For an additional fee, she’ll prepare meals according to the strictures o f the Atkins or South Beach diets, even though, as a pasta lover herself,

W hile the incom e and living situations o f Gagliardi’s clients vary, m ost are “busy people,” she says. “T he perfect client” is someone w ho n ot only doesn’t have tim e to cook, b u t “doesn’t like to.” A nd judging by the way personal chefs advertise on the Internet, the ranks o f the kitchen-phobes are growing. “D o you know where your oven is?” asks the site o f central-Verm ont chef Sharon Zecchinelli, w ho runs a busi ness called Fishes and Loaves. “M ore people nowadays grew up w ith w orking parents,” says Gagliardi, w ho learned to cook from her mother. “T here’s less getting passed o n .” She combs the files o f her husband’s Italian grandm other for recipes, such as the simple side-dishr o f spinach w ith garlic and freshly

fridge is always em pty when I com e,” says Gagliardi, spread ing out her equipm ent in the tan-and-brow n kitchenette o f a Burlington condo. She usually spends her cooking days alone, or in the com pany o f covetous resident pets. “People tell me, ‘O h, my dog sleeps all day.’ T h a t’s w hat you th in k ... ” T he day begins w ith veg etable prep. Taking out her cut ting board, Gagliardi chops car rots and peppers. Green beans *for a side dish go into a steamer basket. Gagliardi will prepare teriyaki scallop kebabs and salad fresh for tonight. Two portions each o f chicken enchi ladas, spring vegetable lasagna, Italian turkey burgers, carm elized-onion chicken, and various vegetable sides will go into the freezer — each con tainer labeled w ith heating and serving instructions. A stack o f containers in the freezer is a long way from J. Lo’s fabulous life. But Gagliardi points o ut that this system is both practical and affordable, as she learned w hen she studied the business end o f personal cheffing at the Institute. For 10 two-person entrees — the stan dard two-week service — she charges $250, or $12.50 per person per meal. “You'base it on w hat people w ould be spending at a restaurant. I’m kind o f on the low en d ,” says Gagliardi, com paring her prices to those o f a place like the Olive Garden. T h e cost o f ingredients accounts for one third o f the

she finds it tough. But even pasta dishes can be adapted to serve the needs o f those who aren’t Atkins purists — the lasagna noodles draining on the counter are reduced-carb, and the ricotta she’ll mix with Asiago cheese for a filling is low-fat. W hile she’s never dieted her self, Gagliardi is fascinated by the ebb and flow o f diet and nutrition fads. “I find it almost astonishing, the difference between the low-fat diets o f the ’90s and the low-carb diets today — they’re so far removed from each other,” she says. But beyond the great carbs-versusfat debate, Gagliardi points out, m ost nutritionists agree that “Americans are overweight because they eat too m uch.” A whole slew o f recent articles has docum ented the creeping increase in commercial portion sizes over the past few decades. T h a t’s where a freezer full o f fixed-portion entries can come in handy. “If people are used to eating restaurant take-out por tions, they’re probably eating too m uch,” says Gagliardi. N o one has com plained about the m oderate portions she provides — m ost clients are glad to be nudged in a more frugal direc tion. “I didn’t th ink you could eat this well and eat low-fat,” says a W inooski client w ho’s asked to rem ain anonym ous. She first called Gagliardi for practical support during a tim e o f perr sonal crisis. .Since then, she says,- she’s foipjd herself “learn>

grogyrad pepper that sits on her clients table t<5day, cooling*down for the freezer. Gagliardi has em inently practical reasons for lugging her equipm ent from house to > house — preparing the clients’ meals at her own hom e w ould require a catering license, and she’d have to p ut her kitchen through a state health inspec tion. But her visits may also have a less tangible value for the clients — they create an aura o f dom estic com fort, a sense o f being cared for. “People like to come into their kitchens and smell cooking,” says Gagliardi. T he W inooski client agrees. “I come hom e and it’s like a lit tle gift on the table,” she says. “W endy leaves a special touch each tim e — a plant, a loaf o f bread, a note. I’m a single w om an, and it’s occurred to me — this is w hat men have had all these years.” At 3:15 p.m ., Gagliardi’s cooking day is w inding down. As K urt C obain’s voice yowls from a boom box, a line o f entrees sits neatly on the table — brown turkey burgers, enchiladas topped w ith salsa, lasagna w ith a golden roux sauce. “It’s really good to have som eone appreciate your w ork,” says Gagliardi, contrast ing this career w ith her old one. “Sure, you may get support from colleagues. But it’s not the same as having clients know you and say, ‘Wow, that food was w onderful.’”® •«.»»»« ««<•*<■ *-4 S

ne thing’s for sure: Food is getting faster. We no longer cultivate food; we engineer it. We no longer produce it; we process it. We no longer buy raw ingredients and cook them, we STORY just pop open the top and eat. W here MARK is all this leading? Peraps to that place B U S H NELL comedian Steven W right nearly reached when he put instant coffee in IMAGE a microwave oven. “I almost went MICHAEL back in tim e,” he said. TONN Tim e travel in a different sense is what Amy Trubek is after. She and other Vermont culinary experts are trying to create connections that have been lost for decades between a place and its food. “We don’t have a relationship to the land anymore in Verm ont,” says Trubek, who in March took over as executive director o f the Vermont Fresh Network. “Fewer and fewer people are really farming. And if we look at what people are doing, people also aren’t cooking from the land, either.” Trubek and the network are trying to reacquaint people with the world around them by creating partnerships between chefs, farmers and other food producers. T h at reintroduction often takes place at select Vermont restau rants that serve food made largely w ith local meat, vegetables and fruit. These chefs aren’t drawn to the localfoods movement by economic or political beliefs; they have their culi nary self-interest at heart. They want “high quality, high flavor foods,” Trubek says. T hat points them to local ingredients, and makes them part o f a tradition that’s still within the mem ory o f some Vermonters. Trubek’s interest in historic" Vermont eating began long before she

came to Fresh Network. As a doctoral student in cultural anthropology at the University o f Pennsylvania, Trubek studied the evolution o f haute cuisine from the primitive days of roasting a haunch on a spit to the finest French restaurant. * W hile conducting research at the Library o f Congress for her disserta tion — which she would later adapt into a book — Trubek stumbled upon papers from the Vermont Writers’ Project, which documented

make you wonder what was going on.” As Trubek talks, she sounds as if she’s discussing some mysterious civi lization — not our state a mere 65 years ago. “For most of history, peo ple cooked responsively,” she says. % “People cooked what was around them .” In that sense, Vermonters in the late 1930s were more closely tied to their ancient ancestors than they would be to us. “We are in this weird modern

Marialisa Calta. Together, they pitched the idea of printing the w rit ings as a book, but publishers so far have been cool to the idea. T hat has n’t stopped Trubek and Calta from thinking the papers are significant. “It is as close to time travel as you can get. You can actually taste what people long ago tasted,” says Calta. Like Trubek, she’s examining fading food % traditions. H er book, Barbarians at the Plate: The Taming and Feeding o f the Modern American Family, which

W e are in this weird m o d e rn m o m e n t b e c a u s e w e d ecid e w hat w e w an t to c o o k... Do I w an t burritos tonight or do I w an t s o m e Thai dish? It’s totally bizarre. FOOD ANTHROPOLOGIST AMY TRUBEK

Vermonters’ eating habits. T he w rit ers’ project was part o f a national effort in the 1930s to record the country’s food traditions. T he project was shelved, however, when America entered W orld War II. Though never published, the Vermont papers made for engaging reading. “I found many interesting snippets about what people were like,” says Trubek, a Cordon Bleutrained chef and former instructor at the New England Culinary Institute. “It just gives you this tiny little snap shot, just a soupgon, but it’s enough to

m om ent because we decide what we want to cook,” Trubek says — we don’t just make do with what is at hand. “Now we ask: D o I want burri tos tonight or do I want some Thai dish? It’s totally bizarre.” It m ight seem strange to us to use almost exclusively local ingredients to concoct such now-unfamiliar dishes as pickled butternuts, baked Indian pudding, or squash flower relish, but she says, from an historical perspec tive “we are the weird ones.” Trubek shared a copy o f the papers with her friend, Calais food writer

offers culinary coping strategies for fast-paced families, will be published next year by the Penguin Group. The Vermont food writings and the recipes accompanying them give readers more than a chance to experi ence a long-gone flavor, Calta says. “W hen you spend time reading about food, you get a real-time understand ing o f how people spent their days.” A nd not just any people, but those most often ignored in history books: w om en.” M any o f the recipes featured a large piece o f meat being cooked for

much of the day, which suggests to Calta that the women lived very home-centered lives. They had to be around to stoke the fire and check the food. Then, when it was done, they would serve the meat in a way that reminds Calta, strangely, o f Indian cuisine. To accompany the meat, they would offer an array o f pickled foods, just as Indian cooks might offer a variety of chutneys. Some o f the recipes sound about as exotic to m odern ears as those chutney like relishes. Take spiced beef, which was eaten cold for breakfast or supper. The recipe says: “A round o f beef is salted down for a week, then washed well and black pepper and mace rubbed in; then put into a stone stewpan along with three or four onions, sliced and fried, a few cloves; covered with water and baked for five hours.” The recipes are remarkably short and devoid o f detail. As Beatrice Vaughan wrote in her 1963 book Yankee HillCountry Cooking, recipes were typically “written in almost telegraphic form by experienced cooks who assumed that other housewives could fill in any gaps as to ingredients and m ethods.” Similarly, Cora Moore, who wrote the recipes for the Verm ont Writers’ Project, assumed you already knew how to salt down beef or make a piecrust. T he assumption, says Calta, was that “if you couldn’t, then what were you doing read ing a cookbook?” T he secrets o f the kitchen were passed down from one gen eration o f women to the next. T hat link, o f course, no longer holds in many American households. “Nowadays everything needs explana tion,” says Calta, the cookbook author. “You would think by now we would know more, at least about technique.” But for various societal reasons, people either are no longer able or choose not to

devote so much time to cooking. A nother lost tradition was once com m on in Barre. In her portion o f the Vermont project, writer Mari Tomasi doc uments how some Italian women in that city helped their families during hard times by turning their homes into m ini restaurants. Tomasi’s descriptions make the food sound like the best meal in town: “The array o f appetizers leaves the [first-time visitor] agape. Paper-thin slices o f prosciutto, a ham processed in pepper and spices. Large, red wafers o f tasty sala mi. Pickled veal. Celery. Ripe olives, the dark, succulent meats falling away easily from their p its ...” You get the idea. T he women, often granite workers’ widows, first cooked for neighbors, then for the friends o f neighbors. W ord spread and eventually the general public was knocking at the door. By Tomasi’s count, about 50 families were offering homecooked meals, dubbed “Italian feeds,” during the late ’30s or early ’40s. T hough most o f these families had probably arrived in the U nited States decades earlier and considered themselves quite American, Trubek isn’t surprised that they m aintained their Italian cuisine. “Food practices are the last to change in assimilating,” she explains. “Language is the first to go, dress often goes soon after, but food is the stickiest.” We m ight cling tenaciously to food traditions, but they can still slip away, and w ith them goes a piece o f our past. “We are so interested in celebrating Verm ont’s agricultural heritage,” Trubek says, “but often we don’t understand w hat it was really like. But this can really help us understand what people were doing w ith the land.” Recipes for apple pan dowdy, spiced currant relish and soused pig’s feet m ight be gone for good, but maybe the link to localness that gave rise to them will retu rn .® . .V

OLD COUNTRY J im L a u d e r d a le .

• • Mary Chapin Carpenter may be top draw this Saturday at the Flynn, but the real surprise treat is singer-songwriter

Chances are, most everyone has heard some of the North Carolina-born performer's music; his songs have been recorded by

George Jones, Vines. Gill, George Straitt and a bundle of other country stars. On his own, Lauderdale is equally spectacular, possessing a songwriting style that reaches back into the annals of history without sacrificing modern spirit. An integral part of the early-'90s Los Angeles alt-country scene, Lauderdale honed his craft strumming and singing at the legendary Palomino Club. But it wasn't until he focused his sights on Nashville that fame,came a-calling. Aside from the myriad compositions he's lent to others, Lauderdale has lent his finely aged voice and guitar playing to records by Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam and Rosie Flores. Lauderdale has just released his 13th record, co-written with the Grateful Dead's Robert Hunter. Headed for the Hills, on Music City's Dualtone label, is a wonderfully timeless collection of dusty Americana. The two are well-matched collaborators, with Hunter's rich, visual lyrics complementing Lauderdale's bittersweet melodies. Standout tracks like "Headed for the Hills," with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, and "Tales From the Sad Hotel" are finely craft ed gems, with intricate picking and delicious harmonies.

Harrington was not convinced that O'Brien would bring a clean business style to the Valley.

Harrington admits to putting pressure on the Tavern and other bars, but insists that it was simply because customers were being served too much and let loose onto the streets. "We had a couple dozen DUIs from Mad Mountain Tavern alone from the summer of 2003 on," Harrington states. " I finally went to the Select Board, told them about the violations, and rec ommended that they suspend their liquor license. I have no apologies for sitting and watching the bar. They made it seem as if I had to give them a sporting chance." Harrington eventually got the Vermont Department of Liquor Control involved, and they

"There was nothing in his record that gave me comfort that things would be different here," he says. Returning to the Select Board, Harrington recommended that O'Brien be refused a liquor license. At this point, O'Brien backed out, stating that it "just wasn't worth fighting" to get certified.

No matter whom you blame, tempers in the usually calm Valley are hot, and it appears as if there's no peace in sight. Sheesh, I need a drink. *

SOCIAL BAND,

(Self-released, CD) The Social Band is a troupe of 20 accomplished singers from northwestern Vermont who specialize in antique vocal music and modern pieces written or arranged by members of the group. The music on their latest CD release, Florona, includes American shape-note singing, village music from Bulgaria and Sweden, and art music from 16th-century England and Spain. The 21 tracks hint at the amazing depth of the Social Band's repertoire and the care that director Amity Baker has put into arranging and developing their sound. The Band may sound like a big church choir at first, but a closer listen reveals layers of sonic texture. Their respect and affection for the music shines through all the way. Florona has many hidden rewards * for the attentive listener; supporting local music is rarely so pleasurable. The Social Band's spring concert series takes place this weekend, May 14-16, and will include performances at the Bethany Church in Montpelier, the Vergennes Opera House and at a "home game" afternoon show on Sunday, May 16, at the College Street Congregational Church in Burlington. ROBERT RESNIK

ETHEL, ETHEL (Cantaloupe Music, CD) Ethel are not your grandparents' string quartet. They're not even another Kronos, though the members of Ethel share that venerable group's sense of adventure. Composed of Todd Reynolds and (native Vermonter) Mary Rowell on vio lin, Dorothy Lawson on cello and Ralph Farris on viola, Ethel choose to push the envelope even further. The New York- based foursome, formed in 1999, released their eponymously titled debut disc just last year. Featuring nine tracks of contemporary classical/avant-garde music, it can various ly be called beautiful, weird and suspenseful. Anyone who likes the spine-tingling sounds of "The Twilight Zone" will probably dig Ethel — especially on the eerie, ethereal "The River," one of four short compositions Jtfefe by PhiWdine. The quartet also performs works by fellow out-there com: posers John King, Bang On a Can All Star Evan Ziporyn and Ethel's own Reynolds. The tatter's "uh... it alt happened so fast" is all jagged angles and rapid, dizzying layers of rhythm; musical chaos held in check only by the stunning virtuosity of the players. From sweet and sorrowful to anxi ety-producing (a la the urgent, modern-life soundtracks of Philip Glass), Ethel's repertoire bends strings — and melody and meter — right to the cutting edge. In a rare appear ance north of Manhattan, the quartet comes to the Flynn Center this Friday.

ALL EARS, ALL EYES, ALL THE TIME PIEBALD,

(Side One Dummy Records, CD) Indie-punks Piebald are heading to town this week with their brand-spanking-new record in tow. The Andover, Massachusetts-based band — guitarist/vocalist Travis Shettel, guitarist Aaron Stuart, bassist Andrew Bonner and drummer Luke Garro — have been through some up£ and downs in their decade-long career, including a stack of limited-edition releases, break-ups, injuries and revolving drummers. The group was in high school when their debut EP, Sometimes Friends Fight, hit the shelves, and a certain teenage abandon is still elemental to their sound. The fist-pumping choruses and ^ heart-on-sleeve lyrics provide perfect accompaniment to aimless drives through loser towns. Unfortunately, the boys have aged but have matured little. While I won't dispute that being a carefree youth is pretty kick-ass, you can't hold on to your salad days forever. Piebald seem to suffer from having their heads stuck firmly in the 11th grade. ^ While All Ears, All Eyes, All the Time has more than its fair share of punchy power chords and cathartic hooks, it's short on diversity. The vast majority of the tracks — including opener "The Benefits of Ice Cream," "The Song That Launched a Thousand Ships" and "Human Taste Test" — are up-tempo ragers that show why these dudes have become emo-stars. But they aren't big on originality. In fact, Ears is a frustrating release because the band occasionally does break free of its shackles, then quickly slides back to old tricks, "Givirra Cup" is a crisp pop cut, with Shettel's vocals sounding remarkably pretty, "haven't Tried It " is boisterou%power-pop with a nice sum mery bounce. But each time it seems like the boys are turning towards an exciting new sound, they drop a clunker such as "The Jealous Guy Blues," with inane lyrics and predictable progressions. All Ears, All Eyes, All the Time has the potential to stimulate when you need a kick, but pro longed use will lead to nothing but boredom. Check out Piebald live this Saturday at Club Metronome, at a CD release party with The Jealous Sound, The Format and Avoid.

Marc Awodey

here’s a fowl building boom going on in Addison County. The “great Middlebury birdhouse exhibition” features more than 200 whimsical birdhouses created specif ically to benefit the restoration of Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater. In a uniquely inspired fundraiser, the birdhouses will be sold at a silent auction this Saturday, May 15. The idea is as brilliant as the avian architecture being produced. After all, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 57 mil lion Americans like to “feed and house” birds. Event chairman Joe Schmidt prob ably figured that if even one half of 1 percent of those bird lovers shows up for * the auction, there will be plenty of pro ceeds to crow about. Before the birdhouses could be deco rated, of course, they had to be b u ilt.. Jack Brown of the Brown Novelty Company rose to the task, helping to make some 130 unadorned birdhouses. His East Middlebury-based company has been making timberjacks and similar wood products since 1936. While Brown was erecting bird build ings, Martha Chesley of Bristol created a stuffed mascot for the project. The ibis like, blue-and-orange creature is cartoonish and gigantic, resembling a deformed cousin of Big Bird from “Sesame Street.” It’s way too big to fit inside any of the hat’s ' ’

sole raison d ’etre is to promote the fundraising event. Once the mascot and myriad birdhouses had filled T<5wn Hall Theater’s Main Street office, Schmidt found artists and non-artists alike to begin the busi ness of decoration. While school kids and theater patrons embellished the built structures, many professional artists eschewed the prefab designs and started from scratch. Like artwork in any genre, the variety and creativity of the artist-made birdhouses is remarkable. Benny Giguere, a glassblower at Simon Pearce, contributed a crystalline version — a bubble of glass with a clear swallow sitting on top. The bubble has a small opening, in case a real swallow might want to reside in a glass house. Judi and Fred Danforth’s pewter “Nuthouse” provides equally lavish quar ters. ■ -' l Most other works were constructed from humbler materials. Paul Teeples’ fish-shaped birdhouses were produced from scrap pieces of wood and copper. He made a broad-winged flying fish and a critter that looks like a tuna standing on its tail. Architect Ben Allrad of Breadloaf Construction used found dow els and other pieces of wood to produce a vertical, roofless bird roost with conary Starr’s skillfully crafted

“Wren House” seems like the decoy of a brown-colored wren, but it is holed and hollow — a literal wren house. Two “Hand-woven Basket Birdhouse” bunga lows were crafted by artisans from the business Naturally Inspired: Kristine Myrick Andrews made a roofed piece that could double as a fine fishing creel, while Birch Andrews’ birdhouse resem bles an onion. It has a bulbous body and a splayed crest of unwoven reeds at the top. Both Naturally Inspired pieces are also naturally unpainted. Most of these avian homesteads are brightly colored, however. Reed Prescott Ill’s birdhouse-with-landscape, entitled “Wilderneath Cottage at Basin Harbor Club,” includes red and yellow Adirondack chairs. A lush bed of laven der, white and crimson wildflowers blooms in front of the cottage. “Calico Habitat,” a quilted house by Phyllis Denis Bowdish, includes crazy-quilt pat terns and other traditional designs. Chairman Schmidt admits that the Middlebury birdhouses are not intended to be functional, mostly just beautiful. But these birdhouses might represent the American Dream for cardinals, robins, finches and other back-yard birds. And while the median price of a people house in Addison County was $178,703 last year, these homes should run consider ably less. © <; < v

I MONSTER HIT Sommers' latest killed the competition. Of course, it was up against the Olsen twins.

haven’t a clue who the head of finances for Universal Studios is, but I do know one thing: I wouldn’t want that person managing my investment portfolio. Just a few short years ago, the company was going through tough economic times. Then a relatively unknown writer-director named Stephen Sommers helped turn things around by retooling one of the studios classic monster characters and stick ing him in the middle of a silly but surprisingly entertaining CGI extravaganza. The Mummy and its sequel generated more than $300 million at the box office. If you or I were in charge of the studio books, we’d probably have thanked our lucky stars, slipped Sommers a fat bonus and socked the windfall away. Universal has gone in a different direc tion. It is gambling roughly half that fortune — nearly $150 mil lion — on a single release in the hope tfftt it will spawn the most ambitious franchise in its more than 90-year history. This may prove an extraordinarily savvy strategy. On the other hand, monkeys may fly out of my butt. Having now seen Van Helsing, I’m putting my money on the monkeys. It’s easy to understand why Universal brass might have figured they had a winner. On paper, the picture looks like a logical exten sion of the formula that proved.so successful in the Mummy films. It’s written and directed by Sommers. The filmmaker retools not just one but several characters from the studio’s classic monster library and sticks them in the middle of a CGI extravaganza. The bugaboo is that, this time, the extravaganza isn’t surprisingly enter taining. It’s just silly. The Australian actor Hugh Jackman {X-Men, Kate & Leopold) stars in the title role, a character loosely based on a minor player in Bram Stoker’s 1897 Dracula. As reimagined by Sommers, Van Helsing’s a beefy hybrid of Indiana Jones and James Bond who works for a secret branch of the Vatican devoted to the elimination of evil creatures around the world. Early on, the monster hunter stops by headquarters for his next assignment. The scene is straight out of a 007 movie. A robed official briefs him on trouble brewing in Transylvania. A Q-like friar in charge of R&D even supplies him with an assortment of fiend-fighting gadgets and weapons. A digression: What’s with the floor-length coats all the heroes in supernatural adventures are wearing these days? From Blade and The Matrix to Van Helsing, the cape-like accessory has become the de rigueur fashion statement in evil-fighting circles. Which is to say, a cliche. Do all these guys order from the same superhero catalogue or what? Anyway, .Kate Beckinsale costars as a Romanian monster hunter. Evidently monster hunting was the 19th-century equivalent of

working at Starbucks. She teams up with Van Helsing, reluctantly at first, to take on Dracula and his three high-flying brides. As played by the Shakespearean actor Richard Roxburgh, this year’s Count is a pony-tailed megalomaniac with big, though convoluted, plans for taking over the world. I think. The scheme goes something like this: Vampires can reproduce, but their offspring for some reason wind up stillborn and suspend ed from casde ceilings in gooey sacs. If Dracula can just track down the Frankenstein monster and strap him into the late doctor’s light ning-driven contraption, the juice he’ll be able to generate, pumped through the thousands of baby Drac sacs, will bring to life an army of the buggers, which will proceed to swarm over village after village until everyone in the world has been turned into a vampire. How this will benefit him is never made clear. After all, the guy’s already wealthy, universally feared, polygamous and immortal. Not to mention that there’s one small problem with his plan: If every last human in the world becomes a vampire, just what are all the vampires supposed to feed on? No brainiac, this Drac. O f course, the picture’s problems extend well beyond logic. Jackman’s character itself is on the dull, one-dimensional side; Beckinsale’s is all hair and leather, like something out of an ’80s Cher video; and the film doesn’t even make the most of its mon sters. The Count, as mentioned, is a bit of a cartoon. The film’s promotional literature indicates that the Wolf Man is part of the lineup, but this is not the case. A number of werewolves do make an appearance, but that’s not the same thing. A goofy, computer generated Mr. Hyde shows up in an early sequence. Far from terri fying, he looks like something doodled by a Pixar part-timer. The special effects are less than convincing, especially where creature movement is concerned. Little of the constant swooping and high-speed scampering is realistic. Even the mandatory mobs seem amateurish in their anger. Sommers’ script doesn’t help matters. It’s a run-of-the-mill mix of graphic novel solemnity and action-hero wisecracks. Unfortunately, the latter pack none of The Mummy's tongue-in-cheek punch. If there’s a compelling creation in the midst of all this amok running, it’s the Frankenstein monster. Though he is on-screen only briefly, he makes the most vivid emotional connection with the audience. He’s still a lurching patchwork of Corpses, but he’s an articulate Lazarus on the^ide of good. Had Sommers put more of his creative energies — and more of that $150 million — toward revisionism this inspired, the investment might have yielded more desirable results for studio and viewer alike. ® *, v .

S H O R T TAKES O N T H E R E E L W O RLD

Sc re e n T eens ot on the pointy-toed high heels o f Mean Girls, another new teen extrava ganza opened nationwide last week: N e w Y o rk M in u t e . As a native o f the greatest city in the world, I rarely pass up an opportunity to spend two vicar ious hours there w ithout benefit o f JetBlue. In addition, I’m informally cataloguing the Adolescent Appropri ation o f America. T hat project may sound paranoid, but I’ve got proof. T he stars o f this film — co-producers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — have built a $ 1 bil lion entertainm ent empire since

Kate) Ryan feud, flee bad guys, fall in love with good guys, and finally real ize it’s im portant to “always be true to yourself.” T h at’s actually only a quote from the Daily T hought section on the official Olsen website, which pro motes their cool clothing, cosmetics and interior-decoration products. The true moral o f the m otion picture is seemingly that blood’s thicker than, um, mascara. The young ladies, who live with their single dad and attend high school in suburbia, are polar opposites engaged in a familiar odd-couple dynamic. They

her demo tape to record-company moguls at an outdoor music-video shoot for the punk band Simple Plan. This means skipping classes, which she’s done many times before. A zeal ous truant officer — played by the wonderful Eugene Levy o f A Mighty W ind fame — is obsessed with catch ing her in the act. W hile squabbling on a Long Island Railroad ride into M anhattan, Jane and Roxy accidentally drench a fellow passenger (“Saturday N ight Live” comic Darrell H am m ond) with their beverages. He keeps popping back into the proceedings at unexpected moments, as does a hunky bike mes senger (Riley Smith) who finds Jane quite attractive. Coincidences abound. M any are exceedingly far-fetched. A villainous buffoon (Andy Richter, the former C onan O ’Brien sidekick) begins chasing the siblings after one o f his criminal associates, evading the police, tosses a valuable microchip into Roxy’s handbag; This e character, the adopted white-bread son o f an Asian family, speaks with a fake Chinese accent — among the less hum orous touches in a story that tries way too hard to deliver the gags.

The Hollywood-bred sisters have also performed in dozens o f previous movies that went straight to video. For better or for worse, New York -M inute has made it to the big screen. Directed by Dennie G ordon from a script by three similarly unknown people, it’s a screwball comedy on steroids about siblings in peril. Jane (Ashley) and Roxy (Mary-

look almost exacdy alike but feel dis dain for each other’s tastes and ’tudes. All the action takes place on one partic ular day, when their separate plans con verge in a series of joint encounters with madcap mayhem. Jane’s an uptight control freak whose tidy pink bedroom features a George W. Bush bobble-head doll and a framed photograph o f Arnold Schwarzenegger. This Republican sub plot never goes anywhere. Her goal is to win ^scholarship to study at Oxford by giving a speech before the committee that chooses between com peting applicants. An aspiring drum m er with a pref erence for squalor, Roxy hopes to slip

O ther ethnic groups are periodically stereotyped in this fruitless effort. In an early sequence, we learn that Jane speaks fluent Mandarin and Roxy’s a Jiu-Jitsu expert with Crouching Tiger finesse. No matter. These throw away details never resurface. Still trying to get to their respective destinations and evade their pursuers, the girls duck uninvited into the hotel room o f a U.S. Senator (Andrea M artin, like Levy a “Second City” alum). There, they meet her son (Jared Padalecki), who takes a fancy to Roxy. Before long, though, the intrep id twins are on the lam again, this time with the politician’s little frou frou dog in tow. T he chase scenes wind through taxicabs, limos, Winnebagos, subway stations and sewers as the feisty hero ines navigate the island from above and beneath during an improbably frenetic afternoon. But the thrill of cinematic sightseeing in my hom e town (Isn’t that the hospital where I ... was born?) lasts only until the closing credits reveal that much o f New York M inute was filmed in Toronto. O h, Big Apple, why can’t you be true to yourself? ® ‘ v'

Elena "Lem" Lavin believes^ "What's important is what's in our heads, not on them." After her friend was diagnosed with cancer in 1999, the Burlington beauti cian turned doll designer and launched a line of cloth creations called Beautiful Bald Buddies. jAside from their cool couture and letailed facial features, what make these soft bodies special are tfeeir chrome domes. Distinctive dolls such as "Earth Mother" Hebe, "Cosmo Girl" Faith, "Rap S t# " Ace and "Tattoo Dude" Zinc are%specially popular among childrerlundergoing chemotherapy trealjpent. This week, Lavin hosts a barlecue, a dance and an auc tion t| help fund the design and i j | M B t i on of her self-imageboosting buddies.

ANIMAL FEEDING:

An activist's work is never done. Just ask the grassroots organizers attending the Another World Is Possible Conference at Goddard College. Sponsored by the Institute for Social Ecology, Bread & Puppet Theater and other local organizations, the futurefocused event features lectures by a Princeton University disarmament scholar (Zia Mian, pictured), a former Black Panther, and the director of Women's International League for Peace & Freedom. Workshops covering a range of social, political, ethical and ecological issues teach peaceniks how to organize, mobilize and strategize. Group yoga, meditation and tai chi sessions help prevent world-betterment burnout.

FAMILY CONCERT: See May 1 4 , 6 p .m . $ 2 5 . 'AN EVENING TO REMEMBER': M onteverdi Music School facu lty members collaborate on works by B ach, Debussy, Purcell and Rodgers & H am m erstein,

Although they're classically trained, Ethel members violist Ralph Farris, cellist Dorothy Lawson and violinists Todd Reynolds and Mary Rowell give off a rock vibe. Their hip approach to chamber music has landed them gigs in New York's Galapagos Art Space and The Kitchen, as well as traditional concert halls including Lincoln Center. Since their 1998 debut, the strung-out foursome has col laborated with artists ranging from the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and the New York Chamber Symphony to Bang on a Can, Reba McEntire, Yo-Yo Ma and Sheryl Crow. Although they've earned a solid rep, the quartet doesn't take itself too seriousty. Irreverent theatricals and improvisation are instrumental parts of the performance. At the Flynn, the quartet premiere a new work by Mont pelier composer David Gunn.

OFFICE SPACE Cambridge-based theater company Firefly Productions dramatizes the daily grind and highlights the humor and horror of the nine-to-five world in Echo's Longing. New York playwright Steven Gridley's one-act is set on the 28th floor of a high-rise building, where working stiffs misinterpret and annoy one another as they struggle to glean a sense of self-worth. When they retreat to separate rooms to pull themselves together, the audience sees how closely each employee's life echoes the others'. Through over lapping and simultaneous scenes, the cast weaves a web of concealed emotion and overt loneliness.

COURAGE UNDER FIRE Parenting doesn't come with instructions. The proof is in the production, Mother Courage & Her Children, presented by Lost Nation Theater. New York actress Mary Baird portrays the eponymous character, a childrearing peddler who tries to "make a buck" by following the troops through Sweden, Poland and Bavaria during the 30 Years War. Eventually, juggling a "career" and motherhood turns out to be more than this momma can handle. Although Bertolt Brecht's musical dramedy speaks seriously of society's socio-economic priorities, director Andrew Doe highlights the play's humor and entertainment. A series of silly scams softens the tragedies of war.

Dear Uneasy, Sounds to me like you've got your line down pretty well already. Lay it out for her exactly the way you just laid it out for me. Be firm but friendly, making it clear that your position is a) not personal and bj unbendable. Assuming that you haven't done anything to lead her on — and that you keep to this course — she should get the point. If she doesn't, it's probably not about you. Which wouldn't exactly solve your problem in terms of your friendship, but at least should clear your conscience. Love, Lola

LOLA

Dear Lola, A woman with whom I work, whose opinions I respect and whose company I enjoy, has started dropping increasingly unsubtle hints that she would welcome an intimate relationship. Not only am I firmly committed to a long-standing monogamous relationship, but I also have a strict policy of not mixing the affairs of the marketplace with those of the heart. How do I tell her I'm not now, and never, ever will be, interested in her romantically, without hurting her feelings or spoiling a cherished friendship — not to mention a critical professional association?

ARIES (Mar. 2 1-Apr. 19): WhirlZap-Gush (the Supreme Being formerly known as God) has choreographed a rig orous dance for you to do this week. It has a mix of primal and elegant ele ments; its both meditative and profanely funny. A good tide for this mysterious spectacle might be “Holy Ruckus” or “Sacred Uproar.” As always, of course, you have free will: You can refuse to do the dance as Whirl-Zap-Gush has chore ographed it, and instead go off and try your own spontaneous improvisations. But for maximum bekuty, truth and ful fillment, I suggest you stick with the divinely designed moves.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): It’s time to get a new soundtrack for your life. Whatever music has served as your mythic theme all this time just doesn’t cut it anymore. You need to sing and lis ten to songs that resonate with the fresh emotional currents that are flowing through you. As you update this primary source of inspiration, I suggest you turn your attention to others as well. Look for a book that can change your life, a role model to inflame your imagination and a pair of magic underpants.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): I’m falling in love with you all over again, Gemini. You’ve been turning frustradon into fuel, and that has impressed me deeply. I’m fascinated by how you’ve been using your sense of desperation as a good excuse to go crazy in creative and constructive ways. Your inner child and your inner wiseass have been collaborat ing to pull off unpredictable departures from tradition, and I find that very entertaining. I especially admire the war

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It just

rior energy you’ve been bringing to your dreams: how you punched a hole in the nightmare, how you told jokes to the monster, how you risked everything to wake up. -

expert gardener watering the tomato plants when it’s raining. You have the aura of a mother without any children or a general whose army is hiding from him. I’m not saying that any of this is a bad thing. It’s actually pretty enigmatic and interesting. And for all I know, there may be some method in your madness. Perhaps you’re daring fate to give you what you don’t know you need.

ain’t natural for a Virgo to be a spectacu lar exhibitionist. We astrologers might be forgiven, then, if we’ve wondered how the singer Beyonce could possibly be a member of your tribe, as she claims to be. Recendy, the mystery was solved. In an interview with the Star, Beyonce revealed that a character named Sasha takes over her body onstage. “There’s no way I’d wear a short little dress and dance like that in front of all those people,” she said. I bring this up, Virgo, because I’d like you to consider acquiring your own alternate personality. He or she could help you fulfill your current cosmic man date, which is to climb to a rooftop or mountaintop or tabletop and do a song and dance dedicated to the person you want to be five years from today.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Cancerian singer George Michael recent ly announced that he intends to give away his music for free, posting it on the Internet for anyone to download. “I’ve been very well remunerated for my tal ents over the years,” he told BBC, “so I really don’t need the public’s money.” Given the current astrological omens, dear Crab, it makes perfect sense for you to regard Michael as your role model in the coming week. I urge you to expand your generosity to the next level as you provide free samples of a resource or skill you’ve been blessed with in abundance.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22Dec. 21): The placebo effect is a wellknown but little understood phenome non in medical science. Studies have shown that up to a third of all sick people feel better after receiving pills with no active ingredients. The reason may lie in the body’s powerful instinct to participate in its own healing. When it believes help is on the way in the form of medication, it joins in by releasing endorphins, the natural opiates that induce relaxation and a sense of well-being. These thoughts lead me to my analysis of your astrological omens, Sagittarius: I believe that your current ailments, both physical and psy chological, are exacdy the kind that are most responsive to placebo cures. So load up! M & M ’s are effective, I’ve found, as are Pez candy and the little white pills contained in toy doctors’ kits.

LIBRA

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Emotional Violence for Dummies” was the alternate title Cintra Wilson gave to the film Mystic River. Writing in Salon.com, she said that while Sean Penn is normally a great actor, the role for which he won his Oscar was overwrought. “I’ve seen more skillfully calibrated grief at Super Bowl parties,” Wilson mused. She speculated that the Academy was “playing catch-up ball,” rewarding him for the better work he has done in previous movies. I’m guessing that you will soon have a similar experience, Leo. Like Penn, who was born in the sign of the Lion, you may get more credit or recognition than you seemingly deserve for your current efforts. But it will be well-deserved com pensation for the undervalued wonders you pulled off in the past.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There’s a book by Mira Kirshenbaum called Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay: A Step-By-Step Guide to Helping You Decide Whether to Stay in or Get Out o f Your Relationship. Her aim is to help her readers “move from painful ambivalencd to a clear sense of knowing what to do” about their relationships. I’ll be saying a prayer with that theme for you this week, Libra. Whether the relationship in ques tion is with a person or group or job or institution, it’s high time for you to be free of swampy vacillation so you can glide into the future with a decisive, freespirited vision.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s how cartoonist Matt Groening feels about love: “Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun.” Here, on the other hand, is what composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart believed: “Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagina tion nor both together go to the making

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): These days, Scorpio, you’re like a jeweler who doesn’t own any jewelry; you’re like a TV repair person who never watches TV. The state you’re in reminds me of an

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): W hat if I told you that you can change the past? It’s true, Aquarius. You now have power over your memories. It’s a perfect moment to adjust them, correct them and reconfigure them so they will serVe you better in the future. You’re also in a good position to declare your inde pendence from old images that have been oppressing you. There’s no need to feel trapped into being who you used to be if that’s not who you are anymore.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Last summer, three exhibitors at the Ohio State Fair tried to fool a panel of judges. The men glued hairpieces on their cows in an effort to hide the animals’ sagging . backs. But inspectors discovered the bovine toupees and disqualified the cheaters. Now if you Pisceans tried some thing like this in the coming week, you’d probably get away with it — at least according to my analysis of the astrologi cal omens. I don’t recommend it, though. Ironically, you’re far more likely to win competitions or succeed at challenges if you don’t engage in subterfuge. Being honest and ethical will give you an unbeatable power you cant tap into any oth er.

of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.” My analysis of the astro logical omens leads me to suspect that in the coming weeks your life will be a vivid embodiment of one of those two defini tions, Capricorn. Which will win out? The outcome will have nothing to do with blind fate. It’ll depend entirely on whether you choose to play romantic games or else devote yourself to the high est form of love you can imagine.
