VERIFIED AUDIT CIRCULATION

YES TO LABELING .. .Writing as Vermont farmers, we urge [Governor Jim Douglas] to please support passage of Senate Bill 182 [“Local Matters,” April 30], We support the farmers’ right to choose. S.182, a simple seed labeling and reporting bill, has no costs or burdens for farmers. It is in the states interest to know what genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are... planted in Vermont. We are lifelong farmers with several generations of farming his tory in Vermont. We milked cows until the early 1990s. We now produce about 250-350 gallons of maple syrup a year and hay about 500 acres. We also have experience in producing and selling vegeta bles. We would like to see small farming... continue in Vermont. We are strongly opposed to “genetically engineered” (GE) foods as they are now being engi neered and marketed. There is enormous concern around the ' world that <!his experiment w ith ' the food supplyffcan cause unforeseen allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance and other lingering effects on human health. We share that concern with Vermonters from 70 towns that have passed resolutions demanding regulation of GMOs. Genetically engineered plants cannot be contained in the field

they are planted in because their pollen can drift. Some pollen can move from Bennington to Dorset in about two hours with a 25 mph wind, and contaminate native plants or another farmers crops. This is an unfair and unwanted infringement on a farmer’s property rights. There is no mandatory labeling of GE seeds or foods, so Vermont ers cannot make informed choices. Please support a farmers right to grow a GMO-free crop, protect Vermont’s wholesome image and pass S.182... Josie and Jim Ameden LANDGR0VE

GROW SMART I love the environment as much as any Vermonter, but this latest interference of the Conservation Law Foundation with the sale of land in Milton speaks to me as a classic case of missing the forest for the trees. The point is this: Try as we might, we cannot regulate away growth. Like it or not, Vermont is a popular place to live. By regulating and litigating away devel opment, Vermont does little to arfest the demand to live here. The result is a housing crunch, driving up the cost of same and forcing people to sprawl further out of town. The, long-term result is that Vermont is becom ing an elitist vacationland where

only the rich can afford property, and the poor, unlanded working class gets screwed. How progres sive is that? Vermont needs smart growth, not no growth. Accept the fact that a significant number of Chittenden County workers already commute in from places like Middlebury and Cambridge, and that Northern Vermont is already £ burgeoning “rural” sprawl. A policy promoting highdensity development, say within the proposed circ, while limiting growth outside that boundary, would more likely strike a true balance between the environment and the economy that our com munity desperately needs. Let us follow the example set by Portland, Oregon (one of the most progressively planned cities in the U.S.), and not that of Boulder, Colorado (one of the most elitist, expensive places to live), and think strategically and not self-righteous-* ly. The poor and middle class need’ not suffer at the expense of pro tecting; our environment. . Christopher D. Rottler r

serving in Iraq. His name is 1st Lt. Jeffrey Sands and he is with the 1st Division, 7th Marines. “...So you want to know my thoughts on the flags... Perhaps the flags are simply in support of the children that the American mothers and fathers have sent to Iraq to risk their lives in order to bring justice and peace to people that have not seen such things for a long time. O r perhaps it is in support of war, although it

doesn’t have to be... W ho is for w a r ? . I am the one that will watch my friends and my Marines die, I am the one that will have to kill, I am the last one in support of going to w ar... W hat the protesters need to understand is this, not all argu ments can be solved with peace, and sometimes, in order to main tain peace, you must resort to war... although as a last resort. Again, if anyone thinks that

Saddam could have been rea soned with, then...those people have not seen the pain that I have seen on the faces of these people, and they have not seen the joy they show once we had liberated them ... I have done what I can to save their lives. And what I have done is not enough, what I have given is not enough. You all describe me as hero, but I am not, Because I do not give enough for the

injustice that exists in this world. We live in a country where our comforts keep us from the prob lems of the rest of the world. We do too much for ourselves while people die, and even worse, while people suffer. We spend money on these comforts when we could be spending this money to try and end this suffering... So raise those flags high... and let it remind everyone that they can do more to help their broth ers and sisters. And those that protest this, let them protest and try to explain to them why you really want the flags up, and if they still don’t agree, then send them to me here in Iraq, let them see what I have seen, let them talk to these people and see these people... and if they still don’t agree, then that is their right...” Jeff Goodell

TAXING ISSUE Is anyone listening? Montpelier’s selectmen are talking about a 7.5 percent school tax increase result ing from the School Board’s pro posed budget... After voters rejected two proposed budgets in a row, Montpelier’s School Board has only reduced their proposed budget by $197,000, approxi mately 1.5 percent. If passed on June 3rd, the budget will contin ue to adversely affect M ont pelier’s affordable housing and

5 tmjlmrrj *m lik l a a t ' iiau V"

assure Montpelier’s tax rate as being among Vermont’s highest. Inflicting the proposed school budget and its large pending tax increase on the average taxpayer does not appear reasonable or appropriate in light of our current economic downturn. Bolder and more entrepreneurial steps that will not jeopardize the quality of our childrens education are need ed. Rolling back last year’s $500,000 spending increase, the need for extremely low student/ staff ratios, the necessity and cost of all budgeted maintenance proj ects, health insurance benefits and cost sharing, overhead costs, col laborative and group purchasing programs, outsourcing services and teacher contract buy-outs are among the areas that should be considered or reconsidered. Montpelier’s voters must insist on a more affordable school budget at June 3’s balloting in order to improve our city’s future in all aspects, not just education. Ken McGuckin MONTPELIER

CORRECTION: In last week’s “Letters,” we misidentified Brian Tokar’s job. He is on the staff of the Biotechnology Project at the Institute for Social Ecology. We regret any embarrassment our error may have caused.

It’ll be a paid position for the first time in decades. W hat’s it all about? Gov. Jim Douglas put it best. “It’s very important,” said the Guv, “because it’s only 500 and some odd days until the next election. It’s important to consolidate the efforts of the Republican

For role models, there’s Lee Atwater and Dubya’s political guru Karl Rove.

Party so that my campaign and the cam paigns of legislators as well as the party organization be coordinated. “Jim Barnett is one o f the architects of my successful campaign last year. His experience both in Washington and Montpelier will provide the kind of coor* dinated, strong leadership that will be necessary next time.” Look, you don’t have to remind Gov. Jimbo and his press-conference sidekick, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, how fortunate they were to win their seats without get ting anywhere near a majority of the votes. Douglas won with 46 percent. Dubie got just 41 percent. ~ 5 J In 2004 they simply can’t count on a Progressive like A nthony Pollina to split the Vermont left. They have to be realistic and start now to plan a strategy to break the 50 percent threshold. If they don’t, both Douglas and Dubie will be 7 one-term wonders. ' W hat we have here, folks, is a case of the new Republican governor grabbing the state party organization by the horns. O ut goes the current GOP chairman Joe Acinapura, 68, as Gov. Jimbo slides grandpa over gently into a veteran’s advi sory post. And in comes James Barnett tQ hold onto the Republican beachhead and jjnaybe even expand it. \ Indeed, Barnett is one sharp political ' operative. Born and raised in Barre, he graduated Spaulding High School in 1994. The 130-pound defensive back cocaptained the football team. He was ninth in his class out of 200, he told

“I have great respect for Karl Rove and Lee Atwater,” said Barnett. Atwater, the spin doctor who got Reagan elected, played a mean blues guitar. Barnett told Seven Days he just purchased a new Fender Stratocaster and is teaching himself to play. Mr. Barnett first hit our radar screen in the early days of the 2002 gubernato rial race. He teamed up with fellow American University grad Neale Lunderville. Neale ^yas the campaign manager. Jim was his deputy. The Nasty Boys, as we called them, went to war against Democrat Doug Racine. Barnett dug deep into Racine’s political record and pumped out the con-' tradictions on an almost daily basis. He was pushy and persistent. And his “flipflopper” strategy proved the undoing of Doug the Democrat. The boys never gave up, even when a Burlington Free Press poll two days before th e election showed Racine 10 points ahead. “I want to make the Republican Party the majority party in Vermont,” said Barnett. “That’s the long and short of it.” To get there, he’ll have to walk a fine line between Republican conservatives and Republican moderates. “There’s a good part of the party that believes strongly in the rights of the unborn,” said Barnett. “We also are open to other views. The governor is prochoice and he’s about the best thing we’ve got going for us right now.” He called discussion on the abortion IN S I D E T R A C K »

Curses, Foiled Again When police in Suffolk County, New York, asked the driver of a truck they stopped to step out of the vehicle, he sped off. The pursuit ended 10 minutes later when the truck turned into a police headquarters parking lot. The driver, Troy C. Stephani, 32, told the arresting officers that he didn’t pull over because “he wanted to finish smoking the crack cocaine that he had in his truck.” • Appearing in court for a traffic citation, Robin Loftin, 18, of Carlsbad, New Mexico, removed his hat when Judge Walter Parr entered the courtroom, and a marijuana cigarette fell out onto the floor. Parr cited Loftin for contempt and ordered him to the county detention center.

Homeland Insecurity After a genetically modified strain of a bacterium that causes pneumonia in pigs was report ed stolen from Michigan State University, pig farmers across the United States feared they would be the next targets of bioter rorism. The magazine New Scientist report ed this winter that, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the extra-lethal strain never existed. A former employee of the university staged the theft to hide the fact that $750,000 worth of research into a

commissioned officer in Vermont’s Thought Police has been logging overtime in Barre — and it’s earned him some unwanted media attention. On April 9, Barre Town Police Officer John Mott paid a late-night visit to Spalding High School in Barre and convinced a custodian to unlock a classroom so he could snap some photographs of student work he found objectionable. Mott, a military veteran,. said he’d heard about the projects during a school board meeting two days earlier. Several parents had complained that their kids’ history teacher, Tom Treece, was indoctrinating students with anti-American propaganda. Although Mott was in uni form when he went into the school, he claimed he was on a break and used his own camera and film. He was not there investigating a crime. Among the photographed student proj ects was a poster of President Bush with duct tape over his mouth above the words, “Put your duct tape to good use: Shut me up!” Another was a papier-mdcht combat thericsdl flag insicyptomp-i' ing °b V $§!?.: Othef “propaganda” %clude<J bumpsr stickers reading: “Impeach

Bush,” “Vermonters for a Bush/Cheney Regime Change,” “Goddess Bless the World” and “God Bless Our Troops.” In a letter to Barre Town Police Chief ', Michael Stevens, school Superintendent Dorothy Anderson expressed concern about the nature and timing of Mott’s visit. “I find this behavior, at the very least, in violation of our policy for visitors at the school,” wrote Anderson. “I also find it disturbing that a police officer would wear his uniform under such circumstances, thereby intimidating our employee into let ting him in the building at a very unusual hour.” A spokesperson for the Barre Town Police Department told Seven Days that Chief Stevens is not commenting on the incident, calling it an internal personnel matter. Nor could she say what’s been done with the photos. The story, first reported by the TimesArgus and the Associated Press, gained national attention when conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh spent more than an hour last week taking comments from his listeners on the subject. After 70 minutes, Limbaugh noted that most of the emails and calls he received focused on the cop, not the teacher. “If we really cared about education, 90 percent of the garbage going on inside the classroom wouldn’t be permitted,” Limbaugh writes on his Web site. “A police officer — who from this

story doesn’t seem to have kids in school, much less in Treece’s class — wouldn’t have to enter through the service door and then ask a janitor to unlock the classroom for him. The parents would have expressed their outrage; instead, there wasn’t a peep.” What an outrage, teaching kids about free speech. Didn’t the USA Patriot Act outlaw such nonsense? President Bush says he wants no child left behind. No child left supervised is more like it. Under the president’s current budget proposal, more than half a million schoolchildren nationwide would lose access to their after-school programs. The White House has proposed gutting more than $400 million — 40 percent of the budget — from the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Program. The program was launched in 1994 after Sen. Jim Jeffords visited Burlington’s H.O. Wheeler School and realized school build ings and other facilities could also be used tunity centers. Vermont stands to dpre that! $2 bullion, affecting 2902 ki<|| in -about 40 different after-school sites, according to figures released last week by the nonprofit group Afterschool Alliance. Emanuel Betz is project director of the Burlington Community Schools Project, whose funding would be cut in half. The project offers about 500 different after school programs, ranging from photography to creative writing to martial arts. Many are free and take advantage of the wide range of talents found in the Burlington area. “The idea being, there may be a PE teacher in the schools, but there’s not a national-level Taekwondo instructor from Korea, so we use one,” he says. O f the 2400 kids who participated in Burlington’s after-school pro grams last year, more than half were from low-income families. Betz claims the administration justifies the cuts based on “suspect research” which purportedly shows the CCLC Program had little or no impact in its first year. “The problem with these federal programs is that people are impatient. They want to see results right away,” Betz asserts. “To do the research justice, you probably need 10 years before you can really evaluate a program.” In fact, says Betz, local results have been more encouraging. Burlington school kids who participated in after-school programs were far more likely to attend class than those who didn’t. And participants in Burlington after-school programs have a 23 percent better attendance record than non participants — kids in the after-school program at Wheeler attended almost a week more of school than those who did n’t. “Anecdotally, kids are excited about after-school programs,” says Betz. “They want to come. It’s logical.” Burlington’s after-school programs cost taxpayers slightly more than $13 an hour per child. While that’s a bit pricier than the aver age babysitter, it’s definitely a bargain com pared to the cost of juvenile detention. © Email Ken Picard at ken@ sevendaysvt.com

o initiate a war o f aggression is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil o f the whole. ” Nuremberg International War Tribunal, 1945

I hope you all had a happy Mother's Day, because I know of some mothers who didn’t. Two of them, at least, are here in Vermont, having lost their sons in Bushs war, but most are in Iraq, where an uncertain — rather, an uncounted — T T number of mothers have lost their chil dren, and where their surviving progeny, in many cases, are now missing arms, legs and other body parts. An Iraqi mother puts the case bluntly, shrieking at the BBC:- “Saddam and Bush are bastards! They’ve killed our men!” Listen to the lady — Saddam and Bush, she says, together forever on a ros^ ter of thugs, an “axis of evil” in no way concealed by cheering troops, toppled statues, Private Jessica and dumbbell dives onto aircraft carriers. President Pipsqueaks lying remark that the war in Iraq is officially over — “Mission Accomplished” — is as false as his father’s “Read my lips” and a million times more callous. A billion, a trillion, a googol or more. Like I said, no one’s counting. Not on their side, anyway. To Bush and his crew, it’s just a lot of dead Indians. “We hated Saddam,” one Iraqi admits, talking to London’s Independent, “but at least under Saddam you could be safe. The Americans said they were coming to liberate the Iraqi people, not for the oil. But this is not liberation.” The New York Times reports that smoke still billows “over Baghdad’s sky line as looters set fire to the city’s former telephone communications center... Baghdad is once again a place of almost hourly eruptions of gunfire. Criminals are shooting at other criminals. ... Fam ilies are settling scores.” This is the toll that war exacts when you play on the losing side. And “unless we do something in the near future,” an American official tells the Times, “it is likely to blow up in our face.” It’s already blown up in Saudi Arabia, where seven Americans died on Monday after a war to make us all safe. The Bush administration has replaced its first choice for Iraqi “reconstruction,” Lt. Gen. Jay Garner, with a civilian from Foggy Bottom, L. Paul Bremer, who declares himself “delighted” to help Iraq on the path to democracy and says that his goal is to help the Iraqi people “regain control of their own destiny.” This, too, is a lie, since the Iraqi peo ple want us to scram just as fast as we can pack. No “weapons of mass destruc tion” have been found in Iraq, and even Newsweek, not known in these days for its liberal bent, says that Bremer’s

appointment is designed to “keep a lid on the situation” so Junior can win reelection. It’s the only thing he cares about, really, after money, “pussy” and God. Do you want a source for the “pussy” quote? What for? You pay no attention when Caesar lies — why should you care when he speaks the truth, strutting, smirking and puffed like a peacock? In point of fact, Bush’s stunt on the aircraft carrier — “In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty and the peace of the w orld... America is grateful for a job well done” — is a giant leap to fascism. The U.S. Constitution makes the president commander-in-chief because he is not a military man, because the mili tary proper and the military mind are not the masters of this nation. “This is not some made-for-TV backdrop for a campaign commercial,” says Democratic Senator Robert Byrd, shocked to the core. “This is real life, and real lives have been lost.” Silly old man — hasn’t he heard? We’ve captured the eight of spades, the nine of clubs, “Dr. Germ” and Tarik Aziz, until recently Iraq’s deputy prime minister and a man who even speaks English. But he lies, says Bush; he “still doesn’t know how to tell the truth. He didn’t know how to tell the truth when he was in office, he doesn’t know how to tell the truth as a captive.” And a hospital in Baghdad, according to the Times, has enough painkiller left “to give just four more injections. There is no fluid to sterilize equipment. Too few staff to look after patients.” A mental case wanders the empty halls, off his medications, saying, “I hate the world and the world hates me.” Asked why he hasn’t fled the scene, the madman replies, “I don’t want the monkey to see me and I don’t want to see the monkey.’’ Well, too bad. We’re stuck with the monkey for at least another year. And when Mother’s Day started in 1870, it wasn’t about hearts and flowers, Hall mark cards and telephone calls. It was about peace, organized by women who had lost their sons in the American Civil War. “We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies,” said Julia Ward Howe, who wrote “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” “Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with car nage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.” This was a great American dream, a dream as yet unfulfilled. “From the bosom of the devastated Earth,” said Howe, “a voice goes up with our own. It says ‘Disarm, Disarm! The sword of mur der is not the balance of justice.’” And “N one but the dead,” Mark Twain replied, “are permitted to speak truth.” ® Email Peter at peterkurth@peterkurth.com

Dear Cecil* I know that this really isn’t the type o f thing that is asked about frequently, but I gotta ask.

What is the physiological reasonsfor this to occur? — Out o f My Skull at Ohio University

R §?

You need to slack off on the ganja, bro. What you meant to ask was what the physiological reasons are. Also, you used “occur” three times in two sentences. Besides interfering with cognitive function, marijuana impairs short-term memory. Looks like yours can be measured in milliseconds. Last time the subject of the munchies came up, in 1977 — I’ve been writing this column longer than a lot of you sumbitches have been alive — all I could tell you was that scientists had ruled out dopeinduced fluctuations in blood sugar as a cause. Since then, I’m pleased to inform you, great strides have been made. As it turns out, far from being a mere curiosity, the munchies provide a clue to the workings of one of the body’s primary methods of hunger regu lation, the endogenous cannabinoid system. Your body, it seems, contains specialized proteins called cannabinoid receptors. (Broadly speaking, recep tors react to certain stimuli and produce certain results.) The best-known cannabinoid is delta 9tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the principal psychoac tive ingredient of weed (aka cannabis). Far more impor tant from the body’s standpoint, however, are the endogenous (i.e., internally synthesized) cannabinoids, endocannabinoids for short, which work like neuro transmitters and are produced as part of the built-in

apparatus by which peripheral parts of the body inform the brain that it’s lunchtime. Endocannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors are abundant in the hypothala mus, the region of the brain that plays a pivotal role in appetite regulation. In 1992 researchers identified the first endocannabinoid and named it anandamide, from the Sanskrit ananda, meaning inner bliss. In other words, when you smoke dope, you’re replicating (albeit with much greater intensity) an effect the body pro duces naturally for itself. Hunger regulation isn’t the only thing endocannabi noids doifor the body. Though t|ieir a|tipn is stilUmperfectly understood, a 1998 research paper suggests that they help you “feel less pain, control your movement, relax, eat, forget, sleep and protect” yourself against stress. In fact, some" scientists think they’re an important part of the body’s general stress-recovery system. The significant role of cannabinoids in body chemistry has created great excitement about the ther apeutic use of THC and related compounds. The most obvious beneficiaries are people who’ve lost the desire to eat — for example, late-stage cancer or AIDS patients. (In India, in fact, folks have used pot to treat loss of appetite since around 300 AD.) Though research is incomplete, it appears that (a) smoking marijuana is the best means of administering THC; (b) food consumption increases primarily in social settings; and (c) the foods consumed tend to be sweet. So it’s possible that someday the recommended treatment for disease-induced anorexia may consist of lighting up a few joints, sitting around in a group, and munching Oreos. Lest you get the wrong idea, though, appetite-suppressed patients don’t necessarily have to get high to enjoy the benefits of marijuana. At the lowest effective dose, test subjects report little or no euphoria, sleepiness or dizziness. Cannabinoids have a variety of other medical applications. The use of marijuana in the treatment of glaucoma is well-known. THC, under the name Dronabinol, has been used since 1985 to ease the nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. Cannabinoid antagonists, which inhibit the effects of cannabis-type compounds, have been shown to sup press sugar and alcohol consumption in lab animals and are thought to hold great promise for obese humans, particularly those with a weakness for sweets. While I’m not pointing any fingers, I’ll bet that much of die research on cannabinoids has been conducted by investigators who were toking up in their dorm rooms 30 years earlier, which goes to show that vice can have its usefulness. Here our parents thought we were ffivoling away our lives. Ha. We were on the frontiers of science. CECIL ADAMS

issue healthy. “Certainly” said Barnett, “you don’t see that kind of openness in the Democratic Party.” Despite his young age — we can’t recall a younger state chair — Barnett said he has the expe rience to handle the job. He promises to bring energy and enthusiasm to a political party with a shrinking membership. “We’re a party,” he said, “that’s aging to the point where we’re literally dying off.” It’s not just a lack of 20-year-olds, said Barnett. “You frankly don’t see a lot of 30- and 40-year-olds tak ing an active role,” said the incoming state chairman. As for 2004, Barnett told Seven Days, “I think we can beat Democrats with or without the Progressive Party if we organize the troops correctly.” If they don’t, it won’t be for lack of hard work. If they do, Jim Barnett is on track to start his own political consulting firm by his 30th birthday.

Targeting Leahy — A rightwing special-interest group from Washington, D.C., is doing its bit to contribute to the Vermont economy these days by launch ing an outrageous ad campaign attacking our senior senator, Patrick J. Leahy. The issue is President George W. Bush’s plan to change the federal bench so that judges will not only wear robes but have the option of adding KKK-friendly hoods, too. “Shame on you, Pat Leahy, shame!” is the out-cue of the radio spot airing this week on two local Clear Channel-owned stations: Champ 101.3 and The Zone 96.7. It derides St. Patrick for not greasing the senate skids for Pop Gun’s most-favored right-wing judicial nominees, like his old Texas buddy Miquel Estrada. Setting up Estrada for a Supreme Court seat appears to be the Bush plan. The ad campaign is paid for by an inside-the-beltway outfit that calls itself American Renewal. It’s the lobbying arm of the ultra conservative Family Research Council. Both groups are playing up the attack on Sen. Leahy on their Web sites. No doubt it gready pleases their followers. But the rather innocuous names of these two groups conceal their hard-right political agendas. The FRC — www.frc.org — proclaims it stands for JudeoChristian virtues. This Talibanstyle God Squad condemns every thing and anything that relates to rights for women or homosexuals. Roe v. Wade and Vermont’s land mark civil-unions law are the work of the Great Satan! The FRC attack ad reflects the W hite House’s take-no-prisoners political style. Apparendy, truth is not one of their virtues, either. (Hey, Mr. President, where’d you say Saddam H ussein’s “weapons o f mass destruction” were?) The fact is, more judicial vacancies have been filled under Bush than the Republicans allowed under Bill Clinton. To date, 124 of Pop Guns judges

Senate. Only two have not. The fact is, the vacancy rate on the federal bench is the low est in 13 years. It’s even lower than the national unemploy ment rate, which is shooting up quickly under President Bush’s brave leadership. In politics, the action is in the reaction. The FRC’s shame ful ad campaign may play well to the true believers inside the beltway, but it only strengthens St. Patrick’s broad and deep sup port in the Green Mountains. Let’s face it, folks. Since win ning a Senate seat in 1974, Leahy has become Vermont’s answer to New Hampshire’s late, great Old Man of the Mountain. The difference is, St. Patrick has a backbone. New Hamp shire’s pet rock did not. Perhaps the Bushies are hop ing the ad campaign will soften Leahy’s support as we start the roll toward the 2004 election? Dream on, boys and girls. Just last week the Leahy Campaign held a little fundrais er at Theresa Alberghini DiPalma’s Burlington home. It was attended by an all-star cast of prominent Vermont business people, including distinguished Republicans who surely support ed Bush in 2000. Among them were Angelo Pizzagalli, of construction fame, Bill Stenger of ski-area fame, Brian Cosgrove (former execu tive director of the Vermont Republican Party), Louise McCarren, of Fletcher Allen fame, John O'Kane of IBM fame, and Wayne Roberts, of the Lake Champlain Chamber. Louise once ran for Lite-Gov as a Republican. Her hubbie, Ed Amidon, is a Republican legisla tor. Mr. Roberts once toiled proudly in the Ronald Reagan White House. Just like six years ago, Leahy’s got his ducks lined up. Demo crat ducks and Republican ducks. Just like six years ago, Jack McMullen, the millionaire Massachusetts transplant, is seeking the G O P’s nomination to battle Leahy. Unlike six years ago, however, Fred Tuttle, the retired Tun bridge dairy farmer, won’t be tak ing on McMillion, er, McMullen in the GOP primary. You’ll recall that Mr. Tutde humiliated Mr. McMullen in 1998 and prompdy endorsed St. Patrick. This time, it looks like a clear track for Jack. Mr. McMullen has already pumped out an op-ed piece on judicial appointments that echoes the FRC’s attack ads. They’re obviously reading from the same script. . If McMullen had any politi cal smarts, though, he’d call off the attack dogs. That’s because the “Shame on Leahy” spots only serve to crystallize the respect most Vermonters have for St. Patrick and the causes he has long stood for. Last Friday Pop Gun himself went on the attack. The presi dent used the Rose Garden to whine before the cameras about the fact that he hasn’t gotten every single judicial appoint-

It’s scary. Total control is this mans ambition, folks. Congress’ only reason to exist is to rubberstamp the emperors every decree. Unless you’ve been lucky enough to live in a cave the last two years, you’ve witnessed the sad hijacking of American democracy by the best president money could buy. Sen. Leahy responded quickly to Pop Gun’s Rose Garden tongue-lashing. He said in a statement, “Despite his earlier promises, the President has been a divider and not a uniter in choosing many of his nominees, who would roll back the hardwon rights of workers, women, minorities and consumers, and who would side with the big polluters Qver communities when it comes to clean air and water.” As Howard Dean would say, “We want our country back!” Speaking o f Ho-Ho — For more than a decade yours truly’s been calling Gov. Howard Dean “Ho-Ho.” It’s been a term of endear ment, a reflection of his highenergy, can-do, go-go personality. “Ho-Ho” has become part of the Vermont political vernacular, as in, “Anybody see Ho-Ho lately?” But on Monday, “Ho-Ho” appeared for the first time in the pages of the credibility-chal lenged New York Times. Yesv-the Grey Lady is having a rough esail these days in the wake of the Great Jayson Blair Journalism Scandal. But that’s another story. Reporter Adam Nagourney wrote a snappy piece stirring up the John Kerry-Howard Dean feud that boiled over in the recent Carolina debate. The “scrappy” and “diminutive” Dean vs. the “solemn” and “towering” Kerry. Though Nagourney baited him as best he could, Kerry restrained himself. “I’d like to stay focused on President Bush,” said Kerry. “That restraint is not entirely shared in Mr. Kerry’s camp,” reported the Times. “In Mr. Kerry’s circles, Dr. Dean has become known, not endearing ly, by the nickname Ho-Ho.” Not endearingly? Attempts to question a Kerry spokesman were unsuccessful. What’s with these Kerry peo ple, anyway? Now they’ve stolen a piece of Vermontiana and rever sed its meaning. It’s just not right. Hey, hey, Ho-Ho, the Kerry campaign is full of “snow!”

Eight years ago, it looked like chef-owner Deb Weinstein was taking a risk when she opened an upscale eatery on the rural edge of Chittenden County. But she stayed the course with creative, Southwestern-influenced cuisine that piqued palates without being pretentious. This summer she’s putting populism on the menu by sell ing hot dogs from a stand out front during lunch on Tuesdays. “I set up a grill and people drive up,” Weinstein says. You can also get sausages or a veggie roll-up with watermelon and chocolate-chip cookies. “I was thinking about a fish taco as well,” she adds. Regular diners will also have an outdoor option when the new patio goes in. Weinstein is definitely working to keep things fresh.'5he says, “I really feel like I’ve got to move forward and keep it exciting, to generate interest in different areas” . . .

ested in getting a seat at The Kitchen Table, for merly Chequers Restaurant on Route 2 by Exit 11 . Business at the bistro has been booming since it opened two months ago. You can’t even get a reserva tion on the weekend. “I guess it’s a good problem to have,” says co-owner Lara Atkins, who runs the place with her husband and fellow NECI drop-out Steve. Neither was anticipating such an enthusiastic response. Lara figures folks “don’t want to drive all the way into Burlington to have a nice meal.” Then again, not too many restos in the Queen City offer a plate of LaPlatte River Angus Short Ribs, ThymeGlazed Carrots and Parsnips, Roasted Shallots and Braising Jus for a cool 17 bucks. The couple plans to renovate another small room in the restaurant to relieve some of the dining demand . . . In the mean time, Jon Fath is happy to handle the overflow. He and his wife Lucie are opening Toscano in the old Daily Bread at the end of May. “We are going under the moniker of rustic Mediterranean cuisine,” he says of the new “mid-scale” Italian restaurant serving a combination of Northern Italian and New American, with French and Asian influences mixed in. “I don’t know if you’d call it eclectic,” says Fath, a NECI grad who spent the last five years cooking at Junior's. “I’m not real big on that word.” He is real big on the idea of a romantic restaurant with a small bar serving wines and craft beers by the glass. The question is whether he’ll win over disgruntled “Bread” heads still mourning the loss of muffins and huevos rancheros . . .

Burlington sure closed in short order. The intimate eatery had only been open a couple months when chef Lenny william s took his toque and went home. In March, the place was shut down for fire code and permit violations. “It was in regard to use of the basement,” says Chief Terry Francis of the Burlington Fire Department. “He could have just not used that room, and there wouldn’t be any issue there... It’s kind of unfortunate. We heard great things about the food.” Word has it Jessica Bridge and Tyre DuVemay plan to take over the lease and turn it into a relaxed bar-resto with fancy cocktails and catered fusion foods . . . How do you persuade Vermont palates to expand their culinary horizons? Thai, Thai again with downsized portions.

Eight writers offer praising for underdog foods IMAGES

BAGE

PARSNIPS The dour Calvinists who colonized New England considered gluttony and lust the most dangerous of the seven deadly sins, no doubt because they offered intense and immediate pleasure in this life. In addition to those dour Calvinists, some tools and the Bible, the Mayflower brought parsnips to the New World. A passenger on that ship, Reverend Josiah Brigham, called the parsnip God’s greatest manifestation of love on Earth, or some thing to that effect, and penned a monograph, The Roote o f Goodeness, praising its virtues in 1621. Three hundred and seventy years later, my oldest brother succumbed to one of those deadly sins, killing himself with a knife and a fork. Among gourmands, he was known as “The Terminator” and ate five all-you-can-eat establishments into bankrupt cy before getting his own just desserts. Swedish meatballs, all manner of fried things, cheese-laden concoctions, greasy slabs of beef and pork, ladles of artery-clogging sauces, deviled eggs and seafood Newburgs were no match for his voracious depravity. My brother, however, never ate a parsnip. I have, and therein lies my salvation. I share his shameful proclivities, but periodically I transcend them, finding absolution not in the sweaty breathiness of the confessional or in the balancing of my aura. Instead, I seek the modest sanctuary of the parsnip. Some spark of decency must remain in my otherwise polluted soul that enables me to find a righteous joy in the sweet, gentle rootiness of this vegetable. While my baser nature drags me back to the gluttony of the groaning board, the parsnip waits patiently, calling me to a higher plane — perhaps a prefiguring of Heavens Table. A proverb tells us, “Fine words butter no parsnips.” True enough: The buttering is best left to us. I parboil them, slice thinly and saute in a little butter until each morsel is golden brown. They are divine. TY R O N E SH AW

A stupid, lazy camper often gets her comeuppance in the form of a bear. This stupid, lazy camper huddled in her tent at 3 a.m. last summer while an adolescent male bear tore apart a zippered canvas cooler that certain stupid, lazy people had left out in the open air. When a weary dawn finally broke, apricot pits gooed over with the rich thickness of bear spit lay everywhere; the grapes had been trod and actually shat upon; the carrots had van ished; the apples were eaten; and the melon had been broken and brutally slurped. All that remained — untouched, inviolate and wholly intact — was one perfect green globe of damned cab bage. When even a rampaging bear won't eat that which seems destined to find its highest expression in cole slaw — a dish the children humorously refer to as "cold slop" — how can we expect others to embrace its cruciferous goodness? I admit that I came to this vegetable late in life, having read enough Irish novels describing the sickly smell of the stuff overboiling in water to have snubbed it at the store. But an Irishman who has never written a novel showed me that epiphany awaited — a culinary “aha!” moment. Despite its limp annual surrender when paired with its good buddy the corned beef, cabbage has a stand alone gorgeousness when washed, cored, quartered and slow-cooked in generous amounts of butter. Shake the water from its leaves, place it over low heat, and with a wooden spoon gently caress until its firm quarters yield to your ministrations. The result is unconscionably sexy, but also warming and freshly simple. Best of all, any stupid, lazy person with opposable thumbs who's mastered fire can do it. Take that, you bear!

OKRA The main thing that turns people off about okra is the slimy inside. And the hairy outside. Oh, and don’t forget the taste, my daughter reminds me. But grossing out the non-cognoscenti isn’t the only thing I enjoy about ladyfingers, as these semi-tropical green pods are also known. I first tasted okra at a cafeteria in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, where it was offered as an alternative to fried green tomatoes. Both came coated in crispy cornmeal. Their slippery, slightly sour interiors cut the salty grease on the outside. I encountered okra again at a friend’s house outside Los Angeles. Dinner turned out to be take-out pizza, which our host — an aspiring screenwriter with a heavy southern drawl — passed up in favor of his third martini. As we were picking the last fragments of melted cheese from the box, he shambled off to the kitchen and returned, forking up a plate full of food. “Anyone want some okra and tomatoes?’’ he offered. We didn’t. In this country you most often find okra deep-fried, stewed with tomatoes or melting into the glue that binds Creole gumbo. Slaves brought it here from Africa. But it traveled north to Turkey and Greece as well. There it’s called bamya and is either sun-dried and used in soups or soaked in vinegar or lemon juice to mitigate the mucus. Okra also found its way to India, where my mother-in-law grew up eating it. In my favorite recipe, adapted from one of hers, hexagonal disks of bhindi are softened in clarified butter with slivered onions that have been carefully caramelized to a deep, sweet brown. Aromatic ajowan — a spice that’s related to caraway and tastes like peppery oregano — gives the velvety okra just enough edge to make it as enter taining to taste as it is to spring on the uninitiated. R U T H H O R O W IT Z

T0MATILL0S If you can't grow enough tomatillos (toma-fee-yos) to keep you in green salsa and pepian till at least Christmas, you must be planting them in blacktop. The small, green, tomato-like berries are native to the tropics, but for some reason they grow like goldenrod around here. Sue and I planted a few seedli we moved to the Saranac bothered with keep year, like over one with a same tart waxy green common, . < kind. I always vided the of the at the Casa Saranac Lake learned their purpose when the Pan-Am Guatemala in 1 Guatemalan companion house outside Huehuetenango, palled in for lunch. Immediately he recommended the pepian verde-. chicken in a local green mole (sauce), made with pumpkin seeds, chiles and tomatillos. My first bite produced one of those rare light-up-your-mOuth moments, and I wheedled the recipe out of the owner. You make pepian verde by browning a cut-up chicken and then simmering it in a sauce o f toasted unsalted pumpkin seeds, roasted jalapeqo peppers, garlic, onion, cilantro and, of course, tomatil los. The dish works just as well for shrimp and, minus the pumpkin seeds, with all fish and seafood. And you don't even have to grow your own. You can get them dirt-cheap and big as apples in most organic markets and co-ops. I serve the pepian verde with black beans, corn tortillas and sometimes sweet corn — too often, apparently. Last year when I asked a guest, Ian Pounds of Ripton, how he liked the strange Mesoamerican dish, he sighed and reminded me that he'd already had it at the house twice before — though of course he really liked it.

I first tasted okra at a cafeteria in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, where it was offered as an alternative to fried green tomatoes. BRUSSELS SPROUTS / In 1957, Constance Spry wrote in The Cookery Book that Brussels sprouts “should be regarded... as minute and delicate little cabbages, mostly heart.’’ The Brussels sprout is perhaps best understood as the most passionate but also most misunderstood branch of Brassica oleracea. Its little verdant heart is full of the helpless rage of a palate pariah. The sprout is not entirely blameless for its reputation. Raw, it confronts the world with a tight, tough little fist. Brussels sprouts do not have an inviting demeanor. Their external leaves come together in a thin-lipped scowl, and their resemblance to Audrey II’s offspring (in Little Shop o f Horrors) is uncanny. And a sprout responds violently to overcooking, assuming the texture and taste of a moldy rodent brain — bitter, soggy and stinky. Presented with an overdone veg etable, you can only wonder, why would anyone eat such a thing? But Brussels sprouts are worth getting to know. Well done, they roll on the plate like edible emeralds, and they yield to the masticating jowl with a gentle crunch. You just have to remember their basic nature — seething, full of rage — and approach them accordingly: with a knife. If you stab your sprouts at their base, knife aimed at the heart, they will cook all the way through quickly — and you avoid the decaying brain taste and texture. Lightly blanched or sauteed, drenched in butter and sprinkled with freshly ground pepper, the vili fied veggies are, as one chef put it, “little green gems.” K A R E N S H IM IZ U

GINGER CANDY I can never get enough of the gooey ginger candies many sushi restaurants in New York City leave on top of the bill. The only English on the packaging says “Ginger £aqdy” and “Made in Indonesia. ’ The ingredients aren’t translat ed, whicR is probably a good thing, so I can continue to believe that it’s just concentrated ginger with vitamins. The little log-shaped candies are covered in powdered sugar. They’re chewy but hard, and require some serious gnawing before they turn to toffee in your mouth and you get a huge, sweet burst of ginger and spice. The spice is intense — kind o f a zesty pepper. Most people stop at one. Some people spit them out. Then there are those, like me, who acq^iiV a serious ginger-candy habit and eat them until queasy. Yum.

If you want to establish your foodie credentials, you can sing the praises of all sorts o f exotic and, to some, disgusting foods: foie gras, blood sausage, sweetbreads, fish eggs. Mention that you ate braised bat in the Far East and you’ll get some respect. But utter the words “pork rinds” and, foodie-wise, you’re toast. Not that they wouldn’t be good with toast. Yes, as a card-carrying foodie I confess: I also love pork rinds. During the senior Bush campaign I became aware that a yen for pork rinds is something to be ashamed of. W hen George H. averred that pork rinds were his favorite snack, my friends guffawed, chalking it up to an attempt to woo the Bubba vote. You can bet, they all said, he doesn’t actu ally eat that stuff. - I was dumbfounded. Hadn’t these people ever tasted a pork rind? Crisp, salty, larded with, well, lard, they’re a snacker’s dream. According to porkrind.com, which bills itself “the online pork rinds resource guide,” Americans are spending more each year on pork rinds, totting up sales o f some $840 million on the crispy morsels last year alone. It turns out that the up-tick in business is not due to Republican loyalty but to the fact that some of those low-carb-diet folks are touting pork rinds the way the low-fat folks used to push pasta. In other words, they are practically health food. ^

A few nights ago I ate prune pudding at my friend Tina’s house. I could tell from the expectant but nervous look on her face that she didn’t think I’d like it, didn’t even think I’d eat it. She almost apologized for serving it. But eyes glistened as the sticky, gummy, dark-brown pudding was put . before me, and I confessed that I liked, even loved, prunes. That’s when we knew we had a cause in common, a kind of fruity alliance. And we wanted to rescue the prune. I have loved prunes since childhood and was always happy to see the box of Sunkist in my mother’s cupboard. But most people make a face when they hear the word “prune,” squeezing their features into a grimace that resembjgs the dried fruit they despise. Inevitably they some remark like “Eww, prunes!” or notecynically that you’re eating prunes only because of — dare I say it? — constipa tion. Tina’s and my penchant for prunes ere-

ates an uncomfortable alliance with people whose systems are, well, slow. The thing that is so unfair about prune prejudice is that raisins — a smaller, dark, dried fruit — have an excellent reputation. As do their cousins, currants. Raisins even dance on TV and have their own special follow ing. But no one refers to them as shriveled grapes, whereas the new and, to me, rather desperate marketing ploy of prune packers is to refer to them on the box as “dried plums.” Well, of course they are, but they are transformed into something different. If you stew a prune, and I have on many occasions, it doesn’t turn back into a plum; it is still a prune, just chubbier. What a flavor it gives to duck or rabbit, or even chicken, and how happy I am to see any of those dishes on a restaurant menu. If you would like to join in reviving the prune reputation, start right now. Share a recipe that includes prunes; write a prune poem, short story or anecdote. Become a member of the prune club today!

This is not the point of pork rinds. Pork rinds are not good for you. They are a guilty pleasure, a secret indulgence. They are the kind of thing it’s best to eat when driving. Alone. You can dump the plastic bag at a rest-stop trashcan. Getting the grease off the steering wheel is a little trickier. Like any food snob (“Wasn’t that Saint-Marcellan we ate in Provence just divine?”) I have my own “authentic” pork rind experience. I was driving to Edisto Island, South Carolina, with Matt and Ted Lee, two well-known Southern food pur veyors (see: boiledpeanuts.com) and writers, who insisted we pull into a low-slung, roadside butcher shop called Marvin’s Meats. There, among myriad hand-lettered signs — “Small Suckling Pigs,” “Shank Bones For Soup” — and pork shoulders slowly smoking in drum-shaped rigs, I found plastic bags of chunky, rustic pork rinds. Matt pointed out that Frank Marvin’s pork rinds “Never let you forget what they are” — pig, that is. “In my mind, that’s a good thing,” he said. The rinds are variously colored according to the shading of the pig’s skin. There are little bits of bacony meat clinging to some of them. A huge bag, as I recall, cost us some thing like $5. We scarfed them while driving further south. I was grateful to be eating pork rinds in company. And, as it was a rental car, I didn’t have to de-grease the steering wheel. .

lack-and-white Holsteins in a Vermont pasture, grazing peacefully... must be dairy cows, right? Don’t bet on it. If you’re driv ing by Snug Valley Farm in Hardwick, what’s hanging below ain’t no udders. Owners Helm and Nancy Nottermann STORY & spend 18 months to two years lovingly car IMAGES ing for these male offspring of dairy cows. CINDY On other farms, bull calves tend to go one BLAKESLEE of two ways: Some survive only a few days before becoming "food service" products like hot dogs. Othetj. live a cfluple 9^ milk-fed months to be sold as veal. At Snug Valley, the result isn’t just longer, better lives for the bovines, but also a “natural beef” product that caters to the appetite of a lean-seeking pub lic. Using Holsteins for beef is common practice on dairy farms. Random males are often raised for family consumption. Non-productive "cull animals" are the "beef animals of choice for the American fast-food industry," according to Ron Fisher, a marketing spe cialist for the Vermont Department of Agriculture. But some industry insiders are skeptical about using Holsteins on commercial beef farms. Dan Connor of the Vermont Beef Industry Council says what the Nottermanns are doing is the “exception to the norm. “No question about it. There have been a number of people who have looked at dairy beef, or Holstein beef, as just one more way of trying to diversify, to meet the bottom line, to stay in business. But it's like anything. You've got to do it on a large enough scale so that economically it's going to make sense." The Nottermanns, former dairy farm ers, say that part of their motivation to raise Holsteins for beef was to add value to a byproduct of the dairy industry, and in turn to support local dairy farmers by pay ing a premium for their calves. They also wanted to keep their land open — and their view dotted with “nice black-andwhite animals.” Furthermore, the Nottermanns believe that what they eat is important, so they prefer not to subject themselves to “what is available in regular supermarkets.” They purchase calves just days old from six local dairy farmers and hand-rear them for 40 days. The calves live in little hutches ’> "I I W ■; r i hi • !••/-/' >1 I

resembling large dog kennels. Twice-daily bottle feedings give way to pails of milk and then to cornmeal and hay. After weaning, the young calves are moved to a three-sided barn with a nearby field where they can graze. When they are eight-months-old, the bull calves join the older steers in the larger pasture and, if so inclined, can enjoy a view of the rolling

hills surrounding nearby Caspian Lake. Cornmeal supplements their fermented hay, or “haylage,” so that the cattle contin ue to gain weight in the winter. The result ing beef is not organic, as the Nottermanns occasionally apply commercial fertilizer on their fields, use antibiotics sparingly and resort to non-organic cornmeal in the coldest months. However, the Notter manns do not use growth hormones, and they do allow the cattle to graze for their full lives. This is in sharp contrast to how beef cattle are raised in most of the country. Normally calves are fed corn and grain in “factory farms,” and growth hormones and antibiotics are used freely. The animals do not graze on open land, and are “finished” by being fed large amounts of grain the last few months of their lives. Their exis tence is about captivity in crowded stalls and growing fat. Snug Valley is not the only beef produc er in Vermont to go the grass-fed route. The traditional beef catde that wind up representing LaPlatte River Angus and Vermont Fields are de facto free-range. But Helm suggests even "natural" beef produc ers tend to give their animals grain in the end, to prepare them for slaughter. Holsteins tend to produce beef that’s lean er, according to Connor, without losing flavor or juiciness. Snug Valley Beef is the only beef they HJ, I t • ! i

The farm’s altered economics — beef production generates between a third and a half of their combined annual income — allow the Nottermans time to advo cate for environmental sustainability

Ere eight months old, the bull calves join the older steers in the larger pasture and, if so inclined, can enjoy a view of the rolling hills surrounding nearby Caspian Lake. of beef she orders — Holstein, beefalo and organic — Snug Valley is also the least expensive: $4.20 as compared to $5 and $5.20 per pound. Apparently that wasn’t cheap enough for one carnivore in the Northeast Kingdom: Someone lifted an entire freezer-full of Snug Valley beef at the Hazendale Farm Stand last fall.

The Nottermanns' bovine odyssey began in 1974 when they began milking in Bradford. After moving to 160 acres in Hardwick, they first milked their own and then bred heifers for other farmers. This required a rigorous scientific process of researching their 100 animals, keeping records and artificially inseminating cows to produce favored traits. After federal government buyouts ended in the late 1980s, breeding competition became too fierce for them to continue. Switching strategies 11 years ago — from labor-intensive dairy to low-mainte nance lean-beef — turned out to be for tuitous. It coincided with increasing health consciousness among consumers and allowed the Nottermans to keep their land in agriculture without being tied down to the farm.

through creative farming. Their agricul tural model is essentially a closed loop. Using a cast-off product from one indus try as the raw material for another keeps local land open and adds value to th$ product. Marketing the meat in state saves on logistical costs — such as trans portation to out-of-state slaughter facili ties. An outspoken supporter of Vermont’s agricultural heritage, Helm has been vocal in the school-funding and land-use taxation debates. He sits on the board of the Vermont Ag in the Classroom project and has testified before the Joint Agriculture Committee on the lack of agriculture-focused education. There is no way to know who else in Vermont, besides the Nottermanns, is producing beef from dairy breeds. The state doesn’t maintain statistics on beef production, U.S. Department of Agriculture numbers are not divided by breed and the statewide beef association only tracks its members. Regardless of breed, however, natural beef currently accounts for about 10 percent of total beef production in the U.S. and is a rap idly growing segment of the meat market, according to Fisher. “As more people are concerned about food safety, more and more are looking for an alternative,” he says. At the Notter manns’ Holstein operation, another option is right there in black and white. ®

t’s 12 noon: Do you know what your children are eating for lunch? Bonnie Acker, whose daughter, Dia, began attending Edmunds Middle School in Burlington last fall, found out recently. She named it “the brick laborer’s lunch:” a fried chicken patty, spaghetti, canned corn, a white roll, vanilla pud STORY ding and a baked potato covered with processed KEN P IC A R D cheese. How, she wondered, can a sixth grader eat that much fat and starch in 20 minutes t£r the amount of time a middle schooler is allotted for IMAGE M A T T H E W lunch — and still be awake by the time the final TH O RSEN bell rings? And that was just one meal. Acker, who spent years working on an organic farm, is accustomed to ■jdi j.*. jg.. A serving her daughter whole grains, fresh produce and other unprocessed Itfcds. So when she heard that some parents don’t let their kids eat the cafete ria food, she looked into what else was on her daughter’s menu. “I found, to my dismay, that school food is largely processed, low-fiber, high-fat and greatly packaged,” Acker recalls. “W hat you see in our cafeteria is part of an incredibly complex and disturbing reality. Schools around Vermont are serving food that is grown and prepared thousands of miles away and is often in storage for weeks, months or years.” So Acker decided to do something about it. She enlisted the help of anyone who would give her time and advice — teachers, administrators, other parents, regional food experts and a professor and his students from UVM’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. At first, the goal of the “Edmunds Food Team” was simply to get the kids to eat healthier, locally grown food. But then Acker met Dan Treinis, a new technical education teacher at Edmunds, who told her he was disgusted by the amount of trash the cafeteria produces each day. Very quickly, a bigger picture came into focus. Acker and Treinis learned that cost restraints, limit ed availability or restrictive federal guidelines often prevent Burlington schools from buying fresh pro duce grown in Vermont. They found out that school cafeterias are no longer equipped to cook fresh food and cafeteria staffs don’t have the time to prepare it. They discovered that kids don’t eat a lot of the food they are served, so much of it gets ' thrown in the trash. Finally, they realized that because Burlington schools do not separate their waste for composting or recycling, the district is lit erally throwing away thousands of dollars each year. But members of the Edmunds Food Team believe they can change all that. Their goal, they say, is to revolutionize the way school meals are grown, prepared and disposed of in Vermont, while at the same time supporting local farmers and sav ing the school district money. Most importantly, they want Vermont kids to know where their food comes from and where it ends up, so they can make healthier and better informed food choices in the future. Each day the Edmunds cafeteria offers both breakfast and lunch to nearly 700 students from the middle school and the neighboring Edmunds

Elementary School. These are the only nutritious meals many o f the kids get all day. “There are hun gry children here,” says Laura Botte, another Edmunds parent who is working with Acker. “Half of this school is on free or reduced lunches. Half! Which means they eat their breakfast here and they eat their lunch here.” To find out what the kids were actually con suming, Acker and Botte approached the director of Food Services for Burlington Schools. Doug Davis, who is responsible for the 5500 meals served each day to Burlington schoolchildren, was skeptical of conducting yet another food survey that would be sent home with the kids. Invariably, he says, parents write down what they want their kids to eat, instead of asking the kids what they want. “When I first began meeting with the Edmunds food group, my goal was to make it stu dent-oriented,” says Davis. “Kids are going to make their own choices when they go through the cafeteria line, so we need to have kids involved in the process.” So in December and January, Acker and Botte went to Edmunds Middle School and ask^d 274 students what they’re eating and what new items they’d like to see on the breakfast menu. Among the most commonly requested foods were granola bars and fresh fruit. W hat if the cafeteria baked its own granola bars using Macintosh apples grown in Vermont? Acker and Botte reasoned these could be a healthy alternative to the high-fat, high-sugar cookies served now. Plus, they could provide Vermont’s apple orchard with a reliable market. In the process, students could learn about how their apples are grown, visit the orchards, meet the farmers and so on. Acker and Botte began experimenting with their own apple bars made from Vermont prod ucts. Needless to say, they didn’t have any trouble finding 50 sixth-graders willing to serve as guinea pigs in the tasting process. Every few weeks the parents dropped in to the classrooms with a fresh batch of cookies and asked: Not enough cinna mon? Too much maple syrup? Lose the raisins? Add chocolate chips or icing? As the kids offered their comments, Botte and Acker scribbled down their remarks. The process has been educational for students and parents alike. Last week 20 kids in Matt Chandler’s sixth-grade class taste-tested three differ ent batches of apple bars and gave them mixed

reviews. Although the majority of the class agreed that the experimental cookies are “getting <$oser,” the kids admitted they’re chocolate-chip cookies Moreover, Acker and Botte had some trouble finding Vermont apples to use in the last batch. This highlights one of the challenges of buying locally grown produce for the schools, Davis explains. Vermont’s short growing season is strongest in the summer, when the schools are not in session. Off-season, it’s often more expensive to buy local products. “We can buy potatoes cheaper from Idaho than from Vermont,” Davis points out. “I’d love to use more Vermont products, but there are barriers.” In fact, despite all the cheese, apples and yogurt produced in state, very little of it finds its way to the Edmunds cafeteria. Even the Vermont milk now served there arrives via Massachusetts. After investigating apples, the Food Team want ed to know why so many kids were also asking for spring water and sports drinks as breakfast items. Linda Douglas, the school’s health assistant, described how kids come into her office every day complaining of headaches, nosebleeds, stomach aches and coughs. Why? They don’t drink enough water and get dehydrated, she told the parents. And as the Food Team soon discovered, water is not even served with cafeteria meals. Federal guidelines prevent students from getting bottled water with their meals. Unlike milk, spring water is considered a “non-nutritious” item by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, so the federal gov ernment won’t reimburse schools for it. As a result, Davis can’t serve it. “Look, it’s a wonderful thing that the Edmunds group wants me to work towards a whole-grain fruit bar that’s going to be prepared right there at school,” he says. “But we can’t lose sight of the fact that 40 to 45 percent of the kids rely on those meals every day. So we have to keep the program solvent.” Acker and Botte went out and purchased 80 bottles of water themselves. While Acker and Botte were scrutinizing the edibles that come into the building, tech ed teacher Dan Treinis was working on the food that gets thrown out. “I saw a real need to improve the way trash was dealt with in this cafeteria, because a lot o f recyclables and food waste were finding their way into the trash along with everything else,” he »

says. He couldn’t understand why the school wasn’t separat ing out compostable and recy clable waste, especially with the Intervale composting pro gram so close by. In fact, the school district spends about $ 53,000 each year getting rid of its garbage. Surely, Treinis thought, some of that cost could be reduced. So in March, the Edmunds Food Team conducted a more ambitious survey. For five days a group of parents, teachers and UVM students from Professor Richard Schramm’s microeconomics class stood in the cafeteria line and wrote down everything each child took for lunch. Then, as the students dumped their lunch trays, the waste was separated into five categories and weighed: food and napkins, milk cartons, liquid waste, recyclable containers and other trash. When the UVM “compost ing team” tallied the data, the results were astounding: More than 90 percent of the refuse didn’t have to. go to the land fill. In fact, of the 977 pounds of waste^pfodueed by the-cafeteria in one week, only 96.5 pounds could not be recycled^, composted or simply poured down the drain. Local waste hauler All-Cycle has volun- postable material from -« JEdmunds’ cafeteria for the rest of the school year, at no charge. + Also astounding was how much of the trash was com posed of food and beverages — about 750 pounds of it. On Monday, 54 percent of the mashed potatoes were thrown away; on Tuesday 50 percent of the salads were tossed out. O n Wednesday and Friday, one-third of all the food served ended up in the garbage. And the researchers were conservative in their assessments, marking as “thrown away” only those servings that were less than half-eaten. As Acker explains, one sim ple solution would be to serve kids appropriately sized por tions. “The same portions are often given to 40-pound ele mentary school kids as a 200pound eighth-grader,” she says. “A whole banana is a lot of fruit for a little kid.” In other instances, the problem was related to how the food is offered. “In the middle school they’re serving apples to an entire population where half of them have braces and can’t bite into them. In the elementary school, apples are served to children with no teeth,” explains Botte. “I saw one poor little first-grader trying to eat an apple with a plastic spoon!” The Food Team suggested serving the kids cut fruit. But health regulations prevent the .cafeteria from serving sliced fruit for the kids to serve ^ : n < i : r* o ri<i £\7i.xopi wor

themselves. Moreover, the staff is already too busy to cut up fruit for each child. One cafete ria worker at Edmunds wore a pedometer to work and discov ered she walks about six miles in one sfchool day. The Food Team found another solution: They set up a “share table” where children can leave their leftover fruit, as well as sealed milk cartons, granola bars and other uneaten items, for other kids to take home.Cafeteria workers immediately noticed all those items were gone by the end of the day. The study also has also put a dent in waste disposal costs. Michael Kellogg is a waste reduction specialist with the Chittenden Solid Waste District who advises Burlington schools on garbage management. Although Kellogg cautions against drawing too many con clusions from just one week-long study, he estimates that about 75 to 80 percent of the weight of the cafeteria waste could be elim inated simply by separating the trash the way Edmunds students are now doing. Additionally, he says, if the school can rid the waste stream of milk cartons, which comprise a huge amount of the volume of trash, the school district could see even more savings. The Intervale composting program is now looking into composting

the districts milk cartons as well. “It seems that when money needs to be saved, the easiest thing is always to cut people or services for the students,” says Treinis, the inspiration behind the waste separation program. “But here, the students are sav ing us money by participating. They’re actually saving teachers’ jobs. Even though they don’t know it or might not even care.” More importantly, he points out, the cafeteria has become more than just a place where students stuff their faces before rushing back to class. “This is now a classroom,” Treinis says. “It’s informal, but it’s still a classroom. Students interact with one another and learn that what they do here has a ripple effect outside this building.” Burlington’s director of food services worries that with 11 different school cafeterias dis trict-wide, parents will come to expect 11 different menus — a situation that would make his job inefficient, costly and unmanageable. But Davis is encouraged by the parents’ involvement at Edmunds. He agrees that increasing the quali ty of cafeteria food will ulti mately save money, reduce waste and result in happier, healthier kids. That’s a goal everyone should find easy to swalLaw. .(Z), .V - V

ket. It would be outstanding even in Florence. Unlike La Vieille Europe, Fruiterie Milano isn’t trying to position itself as a specialty-food mar ket. But with its mostly French and Italian clientele, the stocks of staples here seem plenty special to me. As I push my cart from one end of the store to the other, I begin to accumulate essential ingredients, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano, pecorino with black peppercorns, and prosciut to crudo di Parma, an air-cured, uncooked ham from Parma. I have a passion for spaghetti al nero di sepia, but my local gro cery stores don’t stock this black pasta — most Americans prob ably get squeamish about the squid ink — so when I discover it on the shelves I pick up sev eral 500-gram packages. Basil bouillon cubes are one of the best culinary shortcuts to be found in Italian super markets, but they just don’t seem to be imported into the United States.

My girlfriend is Polish and, in her home, she’s queen of the kitchen. Meals there tend to offer such treats as fresh white sausage or kabanos, pierogi and cabbage rolls pur chased from the local Polish shops. But if your culinary preferences lean towards Greek, Russian, Indian, Caribbean, African, Vietnam ese, Peruvian, Kosher, Middle Eastern, Spanish, Chinese or French, there’s a food store somewhere in the city catering to your desires. After enjoying a Laotian/ Thai meal on Rue Decarie, Ewa and I venture into Marche Mit-Thai-Lao to see what this moderately sized grocery store has to offer. Great prices, for one: Packages of seaweed used to make nori rolls are just $2.89. I can’t pass them by, even though I still have some far more expensive sheets in my cupboard at home. This store offers a wide selection of Oriental teas, noodles and canned goods. I’m tem pted by the variety o f dried mushrooms

and fungi tagged with ridicu lously low prices, but not so much by the dried whole squid. Some day I’ll try a jar of fried garlic, but for now I’ll stick with the pickled variety. However, I’ve decided that this is where I’ll shop for Thai and Asian foods from now on. Ethnic food shopping is an exploration into the very heart of a culture, and in Montreal it’s doubly so. By law business signs must be in French, but seemingly all the written languages of the world flow across storefront win dows. Next to a place identified in

English, French and Sanskrit as a Hindu Center is a Pakistani estab lishment with a vivid, blue neon body-builder sign. A few doors up the street, two men smoking a waterpipe sit beneath a bold, redon-yellow sign advertising a Lebanese restaurant. The sign over the door of an Oriental nail salon is in French, but the brush-gold advertising on its window is not. The Thai food store has Francophonized its sign by adding “Marche.” Although English is generally spoken as a second or third language in this city, its near absence in written form makes for

an exotic atmosphere. After these excursions north of the border, opening my cup boards back home in Vermont becomes an international adventure. Product labels are in Italian or French almost as fre quently as English. Besides the obvious gastronomic delight that comes from having these items readily available in my kitchen, sampling their rich ethnic diversity on a daily basis makes me feel like a citizen of the world. It’s a delicious feel ing I intend to keep feeding — starting with that truffle oil. ®

M ATTHEW TH O R S E N

n the early 20th century, Cltrlton Lajoie of Vergennes traveled from,one Addison County farm to another, shoeing horses. The itinerant black smith’s tools were posthumously donated to the Shelburne Museum to commemorate a disappear ing lifestyle. But Lajoie s great-grandson, Christopher knew nothing about that ancestral heritage when he made his first crude prototype of a kriife at age 12. A decade later, the Monkton resident is echo ing his ancestor’s work ethic as he evolves into a semi-amateur “bladesmith.” “It’s really still just a hobby,” says Dyke, who has been selling the custom kitchen knives he began handcrafting last year. “But I hope to make it a business.” He thoroughly enjoys transforming a rusty piece of carbonized steel into something as beautiful as it is utilitarian. Dyke’s finished products, with wood en or bone handles also of his own design, have dazzled at least one local chef. “His knives have character in a world of stan dardization,” suggests Michel Mahe, owner of the Black Sheep Bistro in Vergennes. “W hen I use them, my work has more of an identity.” Mahe bought six knives from Dyke, but doesn’t keep them in his restaurant. “I like them too much to use professionally,” he explains. “They’re part of my personal collection.” That’s high praise for a 22-year-old fledgling artisan, who wears his curly brown-blonde hair in an almost dreadlock style. Dyke is still finding his way around the cutting edges of adulthood, and hasn’t yet figured out how to apply the principles of commerce to his lifelong obsession with knives. “Making stuff is still fun,” he muses. “If it became boring, I’d quit.” Dyke’s notion of fun might seem Tike torture to a less adventurous soul. O n a mild May afternoon, he labors-over a 2500-degree charcoal fire for an hour to fashion a single blade. Is this a job that involves cuts and burns? “Oh, yeah,” Dyke con- . firms with a shrug. “All the time.” The equipment — a stone forge, an anvil, a gigantic bellows suspended from the rafters — is located in the blacksmith shop at the Lake

I think that’s reasonable.” The forging stage alone can take between 30 minutes and 15 hours, depending on the com plexity of the piece. The task is repetitive: Again and again, Dyke heats it, extracts it from the fire with giant tongs and pounds it with a hammer to form a general shape. All the while, he fans the flames by pulling on a rope that activates the bel lows. Then the blade has to anneal for a few hours in an insulating material such as wood ash or »

more modern, with a propane forge, but the sweat equity remains the same. Smithing is no picnic. Dyke uses carbonized rather than stainless steel. “It tarnishes a bit,” says Mahe, “but you can get it the most sharp. My father was a chef as well, and he always used carbonized.” Dyke, who earns a seasonal living as a land scaper, attended Castleton State College for one semester. “I was interested in criminal justice then,” he says. “Now I’m more keen on environ mental studies. But I need business courses to know what I’m doing if I want to sell knives.”

sand. Once cooled, the knife requires more heat ing, beating and lots of epndifig^befojfe it can be “quenched in oil,” Dyl«^a$fs. “That hardens the^ steel.” y' One of the more rewarding aspects of this process es that “people enjoy hatching their knives being made,” he points out. “T hat’s a neat little option.” r ”4$ri*4agrees. “You can be involved through all the stages o f the k n ife ,h e says. “No two come out exactly the same, which is wonderful. But I can get just what I want: I wanted an Asian-cut blade with a certain length to roll a certain way in my hand. Chris has a great thing going there. They really are works of art.” Chef Tara Vaughan-Hughes first got a look at Dyke’s cutlery because he’s a regular in the Vergennes restaurant she owns, Eat Good Food. “I ordered a big butcher knife for my husband Pip’s birthday,” she says. “That was October. Chris didn’t have the right tool then, so it’s still a work in progress. By the time he’s done, it’ll be a masterpiece.” Vaughan-Hughes feels strongly that buying handmade knives from Dyke is “supporting somebody local who’s engaged in a lost art.” Dyke’s mother Laurie, a teacher’s aide in Charlotte, sees his creations as unique. “Someone gave him a deer antler and Chris made that into a knife handle,” she recalls. “It was awesome.” Chris ruined his father’s drill when he began knifemaking, but parental worries eventually gave way to admiration. “It’s a great use of his energy,” Laurie Dyke says. “I’m proud of my kids for fol lowing their dreams. Chris always follows his heart.” In middle school, he was dubbed Bubba to distinguish him from three or four other kids named Chris. “It stuck,” he now says, while dis missing a friend’s suggestion that “Bubba the Bladesmith” would be catchy in the knife trade. “That’s a bit campy for my taste.” His proclivity for “making stuff” — not just knives — surfaced as a teenager, when Dyke vol unteered to work on props for high school plays. But as a self-described outdoorsy type, he’s drawn to traditionally male pursuits. Only recently has

it from the fire with giant tongs and po unds it with a h am m er to form a general sh ap e. Dyke allowed his commitment to kitchen utensils to overtake his production of hunting knives, utility knives, riggers’ knives and replicas of weapons from the Revolutionary or French and Indian wars for battle re-enactors. He also makes leather sheaths, wood blocks and boxes for hold ing or storing knives. Dyke has created the occasional candelabra and plant hanger, but decorative items don’t real ly spark his imagination. “People ask me for axes and tomahawks,” he says. “I want to learn how to make them.” Two ye^rs ago, Dyke spent an entire winter — October through mid-April — living in a Pawlet teepee with no heat source. “I’m not too into conventional ways,” he notes. “I’m out of place with the times. I probably was born a century too late.” His mother suspects her son’s love of knives is “sort of in the blood,” thanks to Carlton Lajoie. Dyke thinks it’s “cool” that his skill and passion for smithing were somehow inherited from the maternal great-grandfather he never knew. (T'

t’s now or never, and she’s going for it, Shyla Nelson has decided — “it” being a career as an opera singer. And that’s note worthy not just because she’s from Burlington, Vermont, a town better known in the music world as the birthplace of Phish and their jam-rock descendants. W hat’s more remarkable is that Nelson is 35 years old and a divorced mother of two young children; typically a classically , inclined performer begins training, net working and making a mark in her twen ties, when she’s still free of family-raising responsibilities. But with an engagingly pretty face, a gorgeous soprano voice, steely determina tion and the tactical skills of a general, Shyla Nelson isn’t typical. Neither is the fact that she recently won a month-long study and performance session at the pres tigious International Institute of Vocal Arts in Chiari, Italy. A friend who sings at the Metropolitan Opera recommended she try out for it last February, at the IIVA’s home base in New York City. Nelson instantly bowled over the judges with an aria from Carmen she sang last year for the Vermont Opera Theater, and a piece from Die Fledermaus she’ll perform with the Mozart Festival this summer. “I had no idea what to expect, had never auditioned before,” Nelson saj^s. T T h^A cceptil me on the spot.” She was one of just 45 singers chosen from around the world. The coveted opportunity doesn’t come cheap — including travel, the “whole package” is $6000 to $8000, she estimates — and raising the money to attend the Institute can be as challenging as getting in. That’s where “Opera di Quattro” comes in: Nelson has organized a benefit concert — she calls it “musical magic from the world of opera” — with three other singers and a pianist this Sunday, May 18, at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Burlington. O n the program are pieces she’ll perform four days later at another international singing com petition in New York. First prize: 10 grand. Nelson admits she was amazed to win her audition for IIVA, yet the experience fit into her game plan: Though she’d been performing off and on since high school, last year she decided to give up the day job [at the Waldorf School] and take on her “original professional passion” full-time. “My clock’ as a singer started ticking — this is really my last opportunity chrono logically.” Nelson explains that women’s voices typically come into maturity in their mid-thirties, “if you really take good care of your instrument.” She created a practical business plan and set herself some demanding goals: Over the year she would get the word out to composers and directors that she was “back at it.” She would find opportunities to perform, begin to network, and “explore the opportunities for emerging professional singers to participate in” — study insti tutes and competitions. And, not least, to pick up the kind of business savvy her studies at the University of Vermont and Oberlin Conservatory did not include. “One hopes, if you do well, to come into contact with agents and coaches,” Nelson says. So far, she’s ahead of schedule. With an income provided by voice students, singing

gigs and the occasional stage directing — such as the Oriana Singers’ “A Spring Fling with a Unicorn” last Sunday — Nelson is already making a living with music. And no one who knows her is surprised. “She’s extremely well organized,” says Bill Metcalfe, Oriana leader and a conductor with the Vermont Mozart Festival. “Shyla has a great deal of talent, has a lovely, pure voice and uses it very intelligently. The question is whether she can translate all of that into a career that will depend on the kind of instruction and guidance and nur turing she gets in the really hard art of singing opera on stage.” As with competitive athletes, in the rig orous world of classical training, having the right instruction makes all the differ ence. Nelson explains that a teacher trains the voice itself; a coach assists with the technical aspects of being on stage, such as presentation and interpretative skills. “Part of the work I’ve been doing this .year is singing for teachers who cart helpKme know what m yvoicjj^ Jjest suited for,’’^she safys. Nelson calls the morfth*df~imetr5e * training, the lessons and mentoring with professionals at IIVA “an amazing deal.” ^ The study also includes daily Italian classes and saturation in a culture that is essential to opera. “Luckily I already know Italian,” I^ekqhIndies wryly. “But I’m doing some major brushing up.” Some of Nelson’s earliest training, when she was still a teen, came from local teacher and fellow soprano Jill Hallett Levis. “Shyla had the potential for a very gifted voice — a very clean, accurate voice,” Levis says. “And she had a certain element that you can’t teach, a budding musical gift, and a deportment that was very pleasant to watch.” At that age Nelson had not yet exhibited a burning desire to be a professional, but was “just finding her voice.” Now Levis, who performed with the Oriana Singers last Sunday under Nelson’s stage direction, finds her former student “a multi-talented person — and in this day and age that’s a bonus.” Nelson’s academic interests — women’s studies, music and theology — coalesced a few years ago when she organized a confer ence about the 12th-century abbess and composer-musician Hildegarde von Bingen. She put together people and resources from UVM, St. Michael’s College and Trinity College, as well as scholars from around the country, for an event that combined lectures and perform ances. “The festival was an inspiration that came to me and never left,” Nelson says. “For some reason, in every area of my life, I have brought people together who had never worked together before, to see what happened.” Nelson says the Hildegarde experience laid the groundwork for her involvement in helping develop a Waldorf high school. Initially introduced to the alternative Shelburne school by her then-husband, a Waldorf teacher, Nelson herself became a music and history teacher there for about six years. For this week’s “Opera di Quattro,” Nelson created an ensemble of musicians who had never performed together before: mezzo-soprano Wendy Hoffman Farrell, tenor Wayne Hobbs, baritone Larry Rudiger and pianist Mary Jane Austin.

;|<W WI LLI AM METCALFE Dave Braun, whom Nelson callsj “the quintessential opera fan,” will emcee the event. She adds that the four singers will reunite for Die Fledermaus this summer. Nelsons first full year in the opera game h^ts gone pretty smoothly. Aslfed what her career would look like if she could plan the rest of it so well, she hesi tates only a moment: “I want to have it all — I want a rich, fulfilling family life and a singing career. If the Met came calling, I wouldn’t turn it away.” Nelson says she’s read about other singers who face the challenges of balanc ing kids and career. “Achieving balance is always a negotiation,” she suggests. “But I feel I have the support in my family to weigh those challenges as they come up. ” One of Nelson’s loudest cheerleaders is her dad, Garrison Nelson, a political sci ence prof at UVM and in-demand prog nosticator of political races. His prediction for his daughter? “She’s got the talent, the drive and the support system within the community. One of the advantages of growing up in Burlington is that people who have been hearing her sing since high school have rallied and basically given her the support one needs to take this risk,” he suggests. “My mother was an actress, my father was a novelist, and neither could crack the big time because they did n’t have this support in place. I think she has a much better chance.” Shyla Nelson isn’t lacking for gumption; guessing there are “tens of thousands” of opera singers in the world, she doesn’t underestimate the competition on the way to stages, contracts and recording studios. But for all the fiery passion, her ultimate goals are reasonable: “I want it to go as far as my instrument will take me and still hold onto myself as a human being,” Nelson says. “This is the only professional thing I would regret not trying — I don’t want to live with that ‘what if.’” (Z)

A film producer wraps it up for the University * of Vermont .

s a University of Vermont economics major in the mid-1970s, Jon Kilik envi sioned a future in the restaurant busi ness. Almost three decades later, his plate is full — in the film business. Now 46, the New Jersey native has estab STORY lished a reputation as one of the most SUSAN sought-after independent producers in G R EEN the country. Kilik says he was “never struck by IMAGES lightning” in college, but a film history JULIAN course junior year certainly electrified SCHNABEL him. “Running a restaurant and making a movie have similarities,” he suggests. “You need people-management skills and creativity.” This is a guy invariably attracted to meaty subjects. Kilik comes back to

Burlington this Sunday from his current home in New York City. He will receive an honorary degree and deliver the com mencement speech and his alma mater will acknowledge him for a remarkable body of film work: Do the Right Thing, Dead M an Walking, Pollock and Before N ight Falls, to name just a few of his sub stantive projects. “There’s not a single film Jon could be ashamed of,” says Frank Manchel, a UVM professor emeritus who first taught Kilik the essentials of motion pictures. “His instincts are wonderful.” Those instincts have now led Kilik to the biggest venture of his career, produc ing an epic on Alexander the Great for writer-director Oliver Stone. W ith a budget that exceeds $100 million, the biopic will feature newcomer Colin Farrell as the Macedonian warrior-king and veteran Anthony Hopkins as Ptolemy, a general who went on to become a pharaoh. The conquest of the Persian Empire is historic^ but it was Alexander's more humanitarian goals that drew the low-key Kilik to this high-profile production, which will be shot in Morocco and London for a November 2004 release. “He was trying to unite people, to bring cultures together 2400 years ago,” Kilik theorizes. “He built libraries. This was a man who believed in education; Aristotle r was his teacher.” Manchel isn’t surprised by Kilik’s nuanced take on a fearsome imperialist. “The first class Jon took with me, I remember he saw Citizen Kane," Manchel says, referring to the Orson

K ilik 's id e a s h a v e b e e n g e a r e d to

the big screen since his own graduation, in 1978. After a summer o f unsuccess fully hunting for film jobs in M anhattan, he returned to Burlington to spend nine months as a stage manager and camera operator for the small screen, at WCAX. “In May 1979, I went back to New York with my new resume and a list of eight UVM alumni to contact,” Kilik recalls. “One of them gave me a chance as a production assistant on Paul Mazursky’s W illie and Phil. I held a walkie-talkie while standing five blocks from the camera and asking the public to walk on the other side o f the street.” The humble job had him “hearing my mother in one ear, telling me: ‘It’s not too late. You can still go to law school.’” For his second assignment as a P.A., on Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories, Kilik was only two blocks away from the camera. His next gig got him closer still. He was third assistant director on Alan Alda’s Four Seasons, parts of which were filmed in Stowe. Kilik then progressed to second assis tant director on Crocodile Dundee, pro duction supervisor on John Huston’s Prizzis Honor, and finally assistant direc

tor on the Coen brothers’ Raising Arizona in 1987. But Kilik always aimed for the less glamorous role of producer. In addition to finding the funds, he is something of a hands-on master chef who oversees the soup-to-nuts of moviemaking. "I like to be a partner in helping a director realize his dream," Kilik says. "My job is to create the right environment for bringing a story to the screen." In 1986, he assumed the responsibili ties of a full-fledged producer for The Beat, which was written by a high school friend o f his UVM roommate. The $ 1 million flick, about teaching poetry to troubled high school kids, bombed. But Kilik was undaunted. “W hen you hit failure, failure, failure, you’ve got to keep trying, trying, trying,” he points out. “I like the hard road. I get bored easily.” In a stroke of good fortune, he met nascent director Spike Lee, whose approach to the medium suited his own topical sensibilities. Kilik produced Do the Right Thing, the first of 11 thoughtprovoking collaborations in a 15-year period. “Everyone involved was young, about 30. It was exciting. We knew we had a good team and wanted to continue working together,” Kilik says. Along the way, he also took on Robert De Niro’s A Bronx Tale, Robert Altman’s Pret-a-Porter and Tim Robbins’ Dead M an Walking, among others. But Kilik turned down two tempting oppor»

tunities — M artin Scorsese’s Gangs o f New York and Steven Spiel-berg’s Catch M e I f You Can — in favor o f Chris Eyre’s Skins, a 2002 low-budg et tale about Native American brothers. Kilik joined forces with Julian Schnabel, a renowned painter whose 1996 directorial debut focused on self-destruc tive artist and Andy Warhol protege Jean-Michel Basquiat. Their second film together, the critically acclaimed Before N ight Falls in 2000, concerns a dissident gay poet from Cuba. “Jon is loyal, committed and intuitive,” Schnabel observes. “He’s got some kind of antenna for what’s worth while. And he dances to his own beat. You think you know what he’s thinking, but you don’t.”

antenna began to zero in on art. Kilik now owns a collec tion of 20 Andy Warhol draw ings and silkscreen prints on canvas, all of which are on loan to the Fleming Museum through June 8. “Jon has significant pieces that represent every phase of Warhol’s career,” says museum director Janie Cohen. “For ! example, there’s ‘Untitled (Foot with Crab)’ from 1957, when,Warhol asked friends and celebrities if he could draw their feet, and a 1964 portrait of Jackie O .” Kilik is also presenting the museum with a. gift: “Portrait of a , Young M an,” a black-andwhite Warhol drawing from about 1956. “In terms of the collection, he’s made excellent choices, but Jon is so modest,” Cohen says. “He really stays in the background.” Accordingly, Kilik responds to a question about being a connoisseur of visual arts by simply paying tribute to his school. “I’ve always loved photography,” he says. “I took classes in it at UVM .” “The experience here changed his life, so ever since he feels obligated to give to future generations,” Manchel suggests, noting that his for mer student comes to the campus a few times each year to lecture or visit film classes. “Jon has a passion for pay back.” Kilik’s passion for celluloid now includes a potential Hollywood blockbuster. Alexander, which begins prin cipal photography in September and wraps in February, will be distributed by Warner Bros. A German company, Intermedia, is one of the financial partners.

J ON KI LI K tion is new for Kilik. “We need to costume an army of 500,000 soldiers,” he says. “There’s a department for each need: military tactical people, sword people, armor people.” Spike Lee’s 1992 Malcolm X may have prepared Kilik for the sweep of Alexander. “That was a period epic, of sorts, ' though contemporary by comparisonfr he notes. “I never did an epic of antiquity before. There’s a lot to balance but, in fact, it’s just as hard to do a small movie as a big one.” Nonetheless, this pictGfSfiX has already taken him to sever al exotic new locales. O n the day war came to Iraq, he set off with Stone to scout loca tions in India, N orth Africa and Europe. Kilik expects to be on the set throughout’ the five-month shoot, then in the editing suite for much of 2004. “It’s all-consuming,” he says. “There are constant chal lenges. T hat’s the magic of it: the unknown.” But it’s the known that brings Kilik comfort. In his rare spare time, he tries to meld his hobbies with his pro fession, particularly while attending film festivals. “I ski at Sundance and swim at Cannes,” he reports. Kilik also has close family ties. Nine years ago he married Jennifer Lyne, screenwriter and co-producer on Skins. His father’s an attorney, his mother sells real estate and his only ~ sibling, Jane, is a Rutland school teacher with two. chil dren of her own. The entire clan will attend the UVM cer emony. Kilik doesn't believe he deserves all the pomp and cir cumstance. “That kind of recognition is usually for presi dents, Nobel economists or other big shots,” he says, describing himself as an "ordi nary person." He hasn’t even decided on a subject for his keynote address. “I’ll wing it,” Kilik quips. “I’ll be at the library cramming, like in the old days.” (Z)

SOUNDS FROM THE UNDERGROUND

John Creamer and Stephane K have been bringing new

blood and fresh beats to the world of house music. During the '90s, the New York residents bonded over a mutual admiration of certain records, and soon began to gain fame through their production and remix treatments of classic cuts. Their latest collection, Com piled and M ixed, on John Digweed's Bedrock im print, is a slamming mix of uptempo tracks certain to shake the crowds. This Saturday, the duo heads to town for a gig with Craig Mitchell and Joe Hennessey at 135 Pearl. ..................................................... ...................................................................................

The talent at Geno's Karaoke Club offers a fine alterna tive to the crazy — and often embarrassingly bad — college crooners downtown. Located in a Colchester shopping center, the large bar is a perfect place for set tling in and finding your voice. While the majority of those th at take the stage are experienced entertainers, the attitude is very supportive and friendly even for the most rookie rockers. Geno him self roams around singing favorite selections and introducing performers. The club is open Wednesday through Sunday from 3 p.m ., getting a jum pstart on the evening's business. Beginning May 21, Geno's w ill host a karaoke open mike with a live b.and. Never a cover. Smoking is allowed.

r e v ie w th i MEG CHAMBERS,

LARK

(Self-released, CD) Why would a talented songwriter with a beautiful voice remi niscent of B lu e -period Joni Mitchell bury herself in the mix? A song entitled "Abstractions" on her recent release Lark shows ju s t how much potential Meg Chambers has. This selection is one of too few songs on the disc not overwrought with synth drum effects and programmed keyboards — which bring to mind alternatively Sade, Seal or Stevie Wonder area 1971. Lark is a co-production (along with Chambers) of Peter Wilder, a Vermont recording studio maven whose last release was the 2002 recording of perpetual "Logger" Rusty DeWees, doing his take on Northeast Kingdom country-western. Wilder wrote some of the lyrics and all the musical arrangements on the DeWees album, and, although that and Lark are very different recordings, they prove th at Wilder is one versatile guy. S till, I can't help wishing th at Chambers had opted to let her unique voice and introspective lyrics speak for themselves here. When she plays out, pray for a solo gig, and don't miss it. R O BER T R E S N IK

JU H A ,

POLARI

(Agitprop! Records, CD) It's not surprising th at Juha is named after an Arabic folk character, a trickster ju s t like these freaks from Maui who are leading the "queer Arab hip-hop explosion." Their debut album is a genre-busting, in-your-face, very fun rant. Social messages — such as "killing is not killing when it's God who shoots the gun" — are wrapped up in funky, shifting beats and the occasional twisted nursery rhyme. (Remember "Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub?") Whether the topic is Israeli aggression or Eminem's homophobia, Juha makes clear that they hate hate. Influences from PqAce tp,Yoko Ono to Nina Simone make for an eclectic m ix. The title track is a positive ly pornographic frolic, complete with orgasmic moaning at the end. "Hunting Ted Nugent" wins points for the title alone. Shake yo' beak like a sexy freak Friday when Juha hits Red Square.

PETER BURTON,

IF IT IS TO BE...

(Self-released, CD) M ulti-instrum entalist Peter Burton has been hanging around the outskirts of the Burlington music scene for the past few years. Quietly participating in a number of bands and occasionally performing one-off gigs, he has hyped a solo project th at would display his multiple musical talents. At long last, Burton is set to release I f I t I s to B e ... this week. In his live performances Burton has flip-flopped between alt-pop and droning, dark, synth-driven compositions, but his debut album drops all experimentalism in favor of an inoffensive, adult-contemporary sheen. The unimaginative cover shot, a black-and-white close-up of the artist with a smug but ten der gaze, is a sure sign th at Burton has headed into the soft-rock crooner territory. The back cover shows a shot of the contemplative artist walking along a wintry road. Musically, Burton's tunes fall somewhere between the piano-driven pop of Ben Folds Five and the new-age schmaltz of John Tesh. Though an accomplished piano player and gifted vocalist, Burton takes himself far too seriously. The over-the-top sentim entality and dreamy sonics make for tunes filled with cliches. "You know I'd fly over the ocean/to be with you/where I need to be," Burton calls over ringing piano and swirling strings on "Passenger Unknown." "She used to be a goldm ine/ShiningJike sunshine all of the tim e," Burton sings on the blueeyed-soul cut "Doorway to Norway." Amidst finger snaps and ja zzy piano licks he continues with "In the cosmos of my Ifestiny/She's lyii% rigbfcnext to me." In addition to the Hallmark poetry, the songs are missing grit and originality. What Burton lacks in soul he makes up for in sinceri ty, yet he fails to realize when to pull the plug. Fans of sentimental adult-contemporary pianists w ill find plenty of redeeming qualities on this record, and should check out his show at the FlynnSpace next Wednesday, May 21. That said, Burton's songwriting needs development before he w ill make an impact on a broader audience.

ARTWORK "Mary's Table," by A liso n G oodw in

PHOTO Marc A w odey

erigraphs can be divided into two class es, most easily described as: the good kind and the bad kind. The former are limited-edition silkscreens produced in the tradition of Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg. The arty term “serigraph” was invented in the late 1930s by Carl Zigrosser, curator of prints at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The root word sericos is Greek for “silk,” and graphos means writing. Zigrosser applied his new word to artist-designed, artist-produced, archival-quality silkscreens. The bad kind of serigraphs? Indus trially produced copies of famous paint ings cranked out by the thousands. Alison Goodwins serigraphs are the good kind. The 14 works in her exhi bition, currently hanging in the Governors Corridor in Montpelier, are technically descended from the great Pop Art silkscreens of the 1960s. But Goodwins are much more complex. Unlike the typical Warhol silkscreens, which have just a few colors, hers have dozens. Goodwin’s prints also have an array of visual textures, rather than the flatness of Pop. “Upstairs” is a basic still life of flow ers and fruit on a table, but Goodwin’s consistently simple compositions are enlivened by extremely sophisticated chromatic choices. Three different greens, printed over a crimson red, prot duce a floral pattern on the tablecloth.

Red outlines remain around the green flowers, and that use of complementary colors brightens the entire scene. Likewise, there are five purple plums on the table and purple tiles in the checkerboard pattern of the floor, complemented by yellow pears and yellow-and-gold wallpaper. The chairs around the table are blue, but Good win deftly avoids using more than trace amounts of orange, blue’s com plementary hue. To include more would have sapped the zing from her other harmonies. It should also be noted that none of Goodwin’s colors are covered by just one adjective. The plums in “Upstairs” aren’t just “purple,” but violet, mauve, lilac, damson and just about any other variety of purple Roget’s Thesaurus has to offer. Goodwin uses the formula of three primaries and only two secondaries over and over again. The still-life “Poppies” portrays red flowers on a table and a blue chair. A second chair is upholstered in orange and light blue. Green appears in background trees seen through two windows, and the white tablecloth has yellow and orange highlights. Purple is the missing secondary color in “Pop pies.” Goodwin also uses cool browns, however, as well as black and white to add movement to the composition. Goodwin claims to work “in a Fauvist style,” and that is supported by her use of color. Also, she distorts

space in a manner reminiscent of inte riors by Matisse — the best-known Fauve. Decorative wallpaper patterns in “Poppies,” “Upstairs” and the verti cal piece “Olives” are extremely similar to Matisse wallpaper motifs. But “Olives” reveals the problem with being derivative. The foreground table is, by comparison, less graceful than the wallpaper. If a Matisse-like approach to ornamentation is to fully succeed, redundantly curvy shapes need to be contrasted by greater angu larity in the forms. Goodwin’s cityscapes are much more stylized than those of the origi nal Fauves, and much more decora tive. She has no need for the angst of Vlaminck or the precision of Derain. “High Street,” which refers to the San Francisco thoroughfare by that name, is a surrealistically steep city block whimsically crammed with narrow buildings. The piece measures approxi mately 28-by-20 inches and shows a red road curving toward the upper right, yellow houses packed tight as teeth, green trees with swirling foliage and electric-blue lawns. The buildings have purple highlights and a sparing use of lime green. Goodwin’s serigraphs are highly illustrative and technically outstanding examples of the medium. They are also much more colorful than Governor Douglas. ®

WAR AND PEACEWORK Ironically art created "for peace" usually depicts the opposite. Case in point: The acrylic abstraction "War — Division of Heaven and Earth," by Maggie Neale, is one of 14 pro-peace works in a group show by Artists for Peace in Montpelier. Nothing in the City Center exhibition quite compares with Goya's "Horrors of War" prints, but it does contain some strong statements.

sational “interview” time is devoted to recollections by The Folksmen. Some of these are amusing, others merely silly. I’m thinking of the account offered early on as to how their record label was so small-time it once released one of their LPs minus the little hole in the middle. Problem number two: the big show. Am I the only one who expected more than a straightforward performance of parody tunes, which, to be kind, were extremely light on parody? The songs in Spinal Tap were so dead-on and cleverly written that the soundtrack album has sold millions, and the songs are still being performed by the group in con cert. The music in A Mighty Wind is as fluffy and forgettable as the stuff it means to make fun of. Overall, the picture is unsatisfyingly thin, nearly weighdess. Talented cast members — McKean in particular — fre quently look as though they’re waiting for someone to give them something funny to say or do. Conventions and clich&.of the musical style are acknowledged but almost never skewered. Where’s the fun in that? Guest handles the whole affair with kid gloves, as though afraid of alienating his aging core audience. The culminating concert is such a festival of pulled punch es it’s barely distinguishable from the sort you might fall asleep to any night of the week on PBS. Details such as period fashion and album covers are handled flawlessly. It’s the big stuff that falls short of the stan dard set by this troupe. A Mighty Wind L good for an occasional laugh, but you’re not likely to be blown away. ®

Ted and Marion Cole, por trayed by Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger, are still mourning two teenaged sons killed in an automobile accident. Their surviving daughter, Ruth, has become a kind of after thought as her parents seek solace else where.

FLY BALL It's a safe bet th at none of the summer festivals about to begin w ill be as buzzing as Adamant's "first annual" Black Fly Festival. "It's ju s t a way to make it be fun rather than go crazy," organizer Cindy Cook explains. The event has been hatched to keep the tin y town northeast of Mont pelier from buggin' out on the blood-sucking insects th at feast on folks from spring until early summer — fortunately, they're not biting yet. A banner-making and crafts party for kids kicks thing s off, followed by a parade and black-fly talk by state ento mologist Trish Flanson. Rounding out the day are a silen t auction, T-shirts and "bug bafflers," and a dessert and dance party — cre ative attire encouraged — to raise funds for the funky Adamant Cooperative. It's per haps the oldest co-op in the state, with an outhouse and lack of running water to prove it.

them. I spotted a row of aging excavators across the lot. I exited the

state divested itself of its worse-for-wear equipment. A small but solid crowd bid on everything from buses, boats and bulldozers to Badgers and Caterpillars. An auction catalogue listed specs for each vehicle: GMC Truck, NKD (no known defect); Oldsmobile Aurora, "Confiscated;" International 2554 Dump Truck, "Burnt & Krispy." I kept my buyer number tucked close to my chest lest I inadvertently purchase a broken-down bulldozer. I was not there to buy. I did, howev er, exploit the purchaser's prerogative to look each vehicle in the mouth. I've got a bit of a fetish for construction vehicles. They remind me of dinosaurs. The auction lot was like a jungle gym for adults. Twenty-one blazing orange dump trucks were parked side by side, all unlocked, with the keys in the ignition. Heaven. I scrambled up the side of one and into the cab. I tapped the air brake with my right foot and it let out a sharp angry fart. All manner of levers protruded from the floor and dashboard, but I decided not to tempt fate further by playing with

dump truck and wandered over to the. elephantine vehicles, marveling at their massive metal scoops and rusting, brick-sized teeth. From inside the cab of one, I had a good view of the auction proceedings. In the shade of a makeshift striped tent in the back of a pickup truck, a man with a neat gray moustache and brass cufflinks serenaded the crowd in a steady, syncopated sales pitch. Bidding happened almost invisibly, through the minute gestures of silent, dour men in sunglasses and the rapid-fire diction of the auctioneer. "Threethousand, I have threethousand do I hear threethousandonehundred, THREEthousandone do I hear threethousandtwo? Threethousandtwo! . ' Threethousandthree do I hear threethousandfour? Threethousandfour threethousandfour, SOLD for threethousandthree to number twofifteen!" It looked like fun, but I decided to leave before the bidding bug bit me and I dug myself into a debt even an excavator couldn't dig its way out of. — KAREN SHIMIZU

DOUBLE VISION Michael Arnowitt has long been revered both at home and abroad for his astounding classica l capabilities. But the "Vermont treasure," dubbed "brilliantly talented" by the Penguin Guide to Compact Discs, has journeyed into ja z z with im pressive results during the past couple of years. The prodigious Montpelier p ianist teams up with Waitsfield bassist Anthony Santor for a d istin ctive program of standards and more recent com positions by Herbie Hancock, Phil Ochs and Brad Mehldau. Also on the bill are excerpts from an original ja z z suite based on the five Chinese elem ents: earth, water, wood, metal and fire. Santor describes it as "more on the free side of im provi sation."

the love counselor Dear Lola, My girlfriend "Trina" and I have been in a healthy, happy lesbian relationship for close to two years. Our sex life has always been fun and mutually satisfying. A few months ago, Trina brought home a strap-on. Though I was initially taken aback and frankly put off by the hetero implications, I've actually learned to enjoy it for genital and anal play. Now she wants me to me to go down on it orally and I'm seriously disturbed. I find the idea of servic ing that phallic symbol totally demeaning. It goes against every feminist bone in my body. Trina says I should lighten up, but how can I? This dispute is putting a major strain on our relationship. What should I do? Worked Up Womyn in Winooski Dear Worked Up, I've said it once and I'll say it again: No one should ever force anyone else to engage in any sexual act- against her/his will. That said, Trina probably has a point. As long as you're in a mutual, joyous, loving relationship, why" not give her game a try, just for a goof? Trina will appreciate the gesture and, if the whole thing makes you gag, you can always give her the heads up that next time she asks, you intend to blow her off. Love, Lola
