D O CONGLOMERATES REALLY CARE? Shay Tottens article concern ing Ben & Jerry’s [“W hat’s Eating Vermont?” April 26] ended ambiguously, with each reader drawing their own conclu sions. As an anthropology stu dent at the University of Vermont, I have noticed the pres ence of conglomerates in the death industry, too. Just as in the ice cream, bank and milk indus tries, funeral homes, cemeteries and memorial vendors are facing efforts to be bought by out-ofstate interests. . As suspicions surface that Ben & Jerry’s will face drastic change...they seek to maintain [a] positive public image. They do this by maintaining familiar stores and personnel, tricking consumers into thinking their businesses are still locally run. In fact, conglomerates who m onop olize the ice cream and death industries cause the elimination of local jobs. In the same way Totten hints that Unilever might not be that bad, conglomerates in the funeral industry do have an up side. They have the resources to offer “package plans,” which can cut down on the time needed to arrange a funeral. Thus they can make the grieving process easier and quicker, but more expensive. Do we really want our funer als to replicate the process of get ting an extra-value meal at thedrive-through? And do we want to short-circuit local economies

and answer to out-of-state employers? Despite efforts by conglomerates to be “caring capi talists,” Vermont continues to be exploited as if it were a thirdworld nation. — Jarret Cassaniti Burlington LETTER TO “SYLVIA” I started to listen to WKDR in 1988, I think it was. There I found you and Celeste and Randy and Rush and Gay Bob and countless others. The point is, I enjoyed listening so much, and I still tune in as often as I can. Enjoyment, however, does not always translate into agree ment, but being a reasonably intelligent person, I can sort and sift and come to my own conclu sions. So, the facts are that I did n’t always agree with you, nor do I now, but I would never ever dream of smashing you head-first into the concrete because your spin isn’t my spin. O f course, I’m not a newspaper columnist with an agenda, and I think a lot about how I should treat people. I’d like some reward in heaven, don’t you know. So, Sylvia, don’t be cowed by your “outing” and dismember ment at the hands of Dr. Mengele, also known as Peter Frenetic, and on some occasions as Peter Freyne [Inside Track, May 3]. Call Mark Johnson any time you want. This is still the U.S. of A., isn’t it? You express your feelings, and I’ll decide on

my own if I’m going to agree with you. Maybe I will and maybe I won’t. — John B. Herrick Burlington MARKET MAKES A DIFFER ENCE “Business has become the most powerful force in society. It’s more powerful than govern ments. If we are going to improve the lives of people, it’s going to have to be done by busi ness or at least with the coopera tion of business.” — Ben Cohen, quoted in the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, May 7 discussing the takeover of Ben & Jerry’s by Unilever. Shay Totten’s cover story on GreenMountain.com [“Crude Awakening?” May 10] short changed the real progress the company has made in developing new renewable sources of energy and misses the role of market forces in solving environmental problems. He calls the company’s mis sion of environmental imprqvement through market forces “oxymoronic.” Whether it’s Ben Cohen or the vast majority of the environmental community, it is now widely accepted that busi ness is a key force in driving environmental improvement. GreenMountain.com seeks to change the way power is made by building demand for renewable power. Using the marketplace to spur for environmental change builds on legislative and regulato

— Je n n ife r Diaz

ry successes: Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, etc. Making the market economy work FOR the environmental instead of AGAINST it is priority one for leaders of the environmental movement and GreenMountain.com. Totten criticizes the company for its marketing. Ours IS a mar ket economy. Marketing means providing information in a way that encourages people to pay attention. People won’t have any reason to buy renewable power unless they know that the mak ing of electricity is the single largest source of industrial air pollution. Studies show that the general public is unaware of that fact. But we are broadcasting that fact — with marketing. And this educational effort creates demand so there are customers willing to pay for solar, wind and other renewables. W ithout marketing, we will all just pine for a renew able future and get nothing done. For the record, here is a list of the new renewable projects that have resulted in just two short years since GreenMountain.com began creating customer demand in competitive markets:. • April 22, 1999 — The largest solar facility (43kW) in Pennsylvania; • July 28, 1999 — Three new 700kW wind turbines in California, the first to be built as a result of customer choice in California; • October 19, 1999 — 132kW

Too Much of a Good Thing The European Space Agency announced it is seeking 24 vol unteers willing to spend three months in bed. The catch is that they will have to lie hori zontally the whole time without being able to stand or sit. The project is designed to study the physiological effects of weight lessness that astronauts may experience aboard the International Space Station or during a journey to Mars. Clap Tax Raising the tax on a six-pack of beer by 20 cents could reduce the nations gonorrhea rate by as much as 9 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A C D C study found that whenever the beer tax goes up, the gonorrhea rate among young people goes down. “Alcohol has been linked to risky sexual behavior among youth,” C D C health economist Harrell Cheson said. “It influ ences a persons judgment, and they are more likely to have sex without a condom with multi ple partners or with high-risk partners.”

Grave Matter Ann Patterson, 61, a teacher in Middlebury, Connecticut, received a six-month suspended sentence for spraying weed killer on flowers at the grave of Jessica Puglio, whose cremated remains are buried in a ceme tery near the plots of Pattersons parents. Police who arrested Patterson said she told them she “felt the cremation was wrong and that she did not want a cre mated body” next to her par ents’ grave. When Guns Are Outlawed When President Clinton touted a Department of Housing and Urban Development program to encourage city housing agencies to buy back and destroy unwanted firearms, Annapolis, Maryland, Alderman Cynthia . A. Carter proposed that the city set up a buy-back program for cap guns, water pistols and other toy weapons. “Children can’t distinguish between a real gun or a play gun,” the firstterm Democrat said, “nor do they understand the difference between life and death.” • Jamie Hinderliter, 16, was charged with disorderly conduct

for waving a chocolate gun on a school bus in Rimersburg, Pennsylvania. The youth bought the candy weapon at his high school Spanish clubs fundraiser.

Foot Feats A shortage of poplar wood spells doom for Dutch clogs. Noting the price of poplar has n’t changed in 30 years, thus discouraging growers, de Volkskrant newspaper reported the 100,000 poplar trees plant ed each year fall far below the 700,000 minimum needed to make the country’s famous wooden shoes. • A Japanese court ordered the Ho-no-hana Sampogyo cult to pay $2.12 million to 27 people it coerced into paying exorbi tant fees. The cult, led by guru Hogen Fukunaga, claimed it could cure illnesses by examin ing feet and insisted the shape of people’s feet revealed their personality. Judge Motoaki Kimura ruled that the cult “sig nificantly deviated from the range of what is permissible in the name of religious training.” Freak Accidents Jay Perrin, 19, was coming in for a landing in Plant City, Florida, but didn’t see another single-engine plane below him being flown by a 56-year-old student pilot and his instructor, Alan Vangee, 65. At about 200 feet above the ground, Perrin’s

front wheel broke the lower plane’s windshield, and the two planes became wedged together one on top of the other. Vangee landed the interlocked planes safely on the grass. “It should have been a double-plane fatali ty crash,” sheriff’s Sgt. Rod Reder said. “If I was the student pilot, it would be my last flight.” • A 19-year-old student at the University of Michigan was pre tending to fire an air-powered BB gun he thought was unloaded at the groins of sever al fraternity pledges to scare them. The gun was loaded, however, and a BB struck a 19year-old pledge in the penis, requiring surgery. “The BB gun was extremely powerful, and the shooter was about two inches away from the victim’s groin when he shot,” Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Greg O ’Dell said. “Everyone thought it was a joke — until they saw the blood.”

could not be shipped during the Passover religious holiday. An Israeli nutritionist said the unleavened bread, or matza, tends to cause constipation, noting, “It’s so hard and dry that things get stuck.” Blessed Are the Peacemakers Edward de Bono, a specialist in “lateral thinking” who has lectured to the British Foreign Office about the Middle East situation, said the Arab-Israeli conflict could be solved by adding zinc to people’s diets. Noting that lack of zinc makes people irritable and belligerent, de Bono told the London Independent that zinc comes in yeast and that much of the bread in the Middle East is unleavened. He insisted that peace could be achieved in the region if it were provided with Marmite, a yeast spread. • The English town of Colchester has banned the com bative puppets Punch and Judy, claiming they promote domes tic violence. Punch-and-Judy shows, which feature Mr. Punch relentlessly hitting his wife Judy with a slapstick, have been pop ular with children since the 17th century. The Colchester Borough council declared, how ever, that wife-beating is no longer funny. ®

Thanks for Nothing A $ 1.37-million consign ment of woolen blankets des tined for survivors of last October’s devastating cyclone in the Indian state of Orissa arrived in April in the middle of a heat wave. Temperatures topped 110 degrees Fahrenheit. • Israel sent three tons of hardto-digest unleavened bread to help stave off famine in drought-stricken Ethiopia after rabbis ruled that regular bread

VIRTUAL VEGGIES: Its all the

rage in New York and Boston, and now Burlington has it, too. No, not road rage, though good ness knows that’s creeping up on us. Were talking the on-line shopping rage, brought to Ver mont just three weeks ago by Healthy Living. The South Bur lington health-food store went dot-com almost three years ago, but the Web site was “bad,” says the store technology consultant Eli Goldsmith, until he made some 6000 items visible in pixels. Customers can now select any quantity of groceries — except for alcohol — from home or work and have them delivered the same day (Monday-Friday). Spend $125 and the delivery is free; otherwise it’s $9.95, and drivers will go as far as, say, Char lotte or Milton, Goldsmith says. The on-line orders have increased slowly but steadily — from one the first week to about 10 last week — and Goldsmith expects that will pick up with time. He con cedes some cus tomers are still nervous about using a credit card on the Internet, but insists it’s no dif ferent — or greater risk — than ordering from catalogues. He also notes that “shopping for other people is tough — peo ple have higher expectations when they’re not doing it them selves. They expect the groceries will be perfect, nothing melted” when delivered — as if the Rice Dream is never soft when they get home with it. But these are minor quibbles. No question thousands of homebodies, and probably late workers at the office, in urban areas have become addicted to the conven ience of ordering up their meals with a mouse. And some Vermonters inevitably will, too. “The obvious goal is to attract new customers,” acknowl edges Goldsmith — including customers at other stores “who may be attracted to us by default

because we’re the only one on line,” he predicts. “And a lot of our regular customers will use it, too. Healthy Living owner Katie Lesser has taken bold steps before — like opening a healthfood store 16 years ago on Dorset Street, and moving the entire store from its “Blue Mall” location to brand-new quarters on Market Street behind Barnes & Noble two years ago. Shortly after, Moon Meadow, another health-food market, opened up in practically the same spot vacated by Healthy Living. Whether Healthy Living’s on line ordering will translate to a bigger byte of the local food biz remains to be seen — after all, the constellation of food providers in the greater Burlington area is continually changing, and it may not be long before everyone else jumps on the cyberwagon, too.

On the grounds of the Ferrisburgh Artisans Guild on Route 7, Starry Night is celestially beautiful — designed by and outfitted by artisans — and inti mately cozy. The 25-seat restau rant, with its handmade dishes and wine glasses, a mouth-water ing gourmet menu and backyard patio overlooking a pond, is inviting and seems ready to please. In fact, it’s looked that way for nine months, but hasn’t seated a single customer. Why? The problem is as homely as the artist-designed site is lovely: a wastewater permit. “We originally thought we could use the old wastewater per mit, but because we’d put in a new well, we had to get a new one,” explains co-owner Floery

By Paula Routly eople spend millions of dollars marketing their wares in New York

Vermont producers happy, too. Meatmongering members of the co-op are getting about twice as much for their animals as they would through traditional com-

City, and it takes a lot to make the city that never sleeps look up and take notice. In that respect, Vermont Quality Meats has it all over The Gap on a busy weekday in Manhattan. Heads turn, traffic stops and cell-phone conversations cease as two Vermont farmers offload whole animal carcasses from an unmarked truck on the Upper East Side. With a freshly slaughtered lamb in your arms, the city is at your service — or at least paying attention. But VQM is causing a much bigger stir o ff the streets, in the finest kitchens of gourmet Gotham. W ith weekly deliveries direct from the Green Mountains, a yearold co-operative of 47 farmers is supplying about 30 top-notch restaurants with fresh veal, lamb, pork, goat, venison, sweetbreads, quail and eggs. The list includes such exclusive eating establishments as Lutece, Daniel, Union Pacific, La Grenouille, Jean Georges and Chanterelle — a dozen are ranked among the top-^O in the Zagat Survey of New York City restaurants. Business is up more than 30 percent from last year. “We like the fact that the animals are raised properly, that they are not being injected with hormones. It’s all that good, clean Vermont air,” says Tom Colicchio, head chef at Gramercy Tavern and recent recipient of the prestigious James Beard Award for best chef in New York City. “They are a little more expensive, but it is also better meat. And we charge a little more.” The Zagat Survey may have intended a double meaning when it wrote of Gramercy, “each meal is a new high.” The economic trickle-down is making

mercial channels. By concentrating on quality establishments and delivering directly to chefs, the group has managed to make farming pay — more than enough to cover the price of the parking tickets it racks up on New York’s narrow side streets. Even with a 16 percent commission for the co-op, which goes to pay delivery and administration fees, “it is a very good deal,” says Bennington hog farmer Jay Bailey. “It is way better than trying to play wholesale with the big guys. And it feels good to me because I’ve been there and delivered, and I’ve seen the reaction of those chefs to the quality of our stuff, There is a big smile on their faces.” The master behind the meat marketing is Lydia Ratcliff'— an eccentric Vermont livestock farmer who is just as comfortable milking goats in mud boots as she is chatting up chefs in French and Italian. A native New Yorker, she came to Vermont to “get away from the rat race” and eventually got into agriculture. But seeing the struggles of surrounding farmers, and “appalling prices being paid for the quality product they were raising,” she went south, to Boston and New York, to sell her own animals. Eventually she began brokering meat for other local farmers as well, Last year that loose association of livestock producers formally organized as a co-op, in part to qualify for state and federal grants. So far, it’s collected about $30,000 from the John Merck Fund, the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund and the Vermont Department of Agriculture. The money financed the purchase of a refrigerated delivery truck and other essentials,

such as a Fax machine and computer. The potential is enormous, Ratcliff acknowl edges, describing the eastern urban mar kets as “a bottomless pit. There is enough for everybody. We are doing what every body should do.” But the logistics of moving meat — from a dwindling number of Vermont slaughterhouses to the most discriminating

inet doors are open. An elderly farm hand descends from an apartment upstairs to warn me two goats are on the loose in the house. A newborn kid, still smeared with afterbirth, turns up in the living room looking for milk. Ratcliff wanders in around 10. She is short and slightly stooped, with shoulderlength white hair. As she washes her muddy barn boots in the kitchen sink, I notice her hands are gnarled with arthritis. She is late finishing chores, she explains, because she was on the phone all after noon confirming last-minute orders from chefs. Four more messages have accumulated since she stepped out, one from a prospective tenant. Ratcliff is desperate to find someone to replace her departing farm hand before the summer crunch. Weary as she looks, Ratcliff still has miles to go before she sleeps — on the couch, in a sleeping bag I thought was laid out for me. First she reheats the morning coffee — boils it, actually. And after bot tle-feeding the goat, she sets out to feed me, too. I am expecting something easy — maybe an omelette — but she whips up a fabulous dinner of sauteed pork shoulder and vegetables, green salad with avocado and a baked potato and rutabaga concoc tion mashed with butter, cream and parmesan cheese. As we’re eating, she happens to men tion that the olive oil on the salad is from her sister’s place in Tuscany. Ratcliff grew up in Palisades, New York — anot New Jersey,” she emphasizes — but after her sophomore year at Swarthmore, her father moved the family to Italy. As a successful freelance writer for Reader's Digest — author of the “I Am Joe’s Heart” series — he could live anywhere in the world. Ratcliff spent her junior year in Paris, at the Sorbonne, making frequent forays to see the famiglia and later returning to the States to finish at Chapel Hill. Her sis ter now lives in Rome and is married to the British ambassador to Italy. She pulls out pictures of their palazzo — a colossal place staffed by maids, cooks and garden ers. She also produces a few shots of her self: on the tractor, talking with chefs, holding animals. The contrast is startling. Asked what her siblings think of her lifestyle, Ratcliff responds, “They think I’m killing myself, but I see it as keeping myself alive, in many ways.” A former alcoholic, Ratcliff concedes she suffers from depression. She also acknowledges that the farm “got away from her” last year because the meat busi ness was growing so fast. I get a sense of her superb salesmanship when she calls Joe Bruno at Pasta Nostra in Norwalk, Connecticut, to let him know we’ll be stopping in for dinner there tomorrow. It’s

,least paying attention. customers in the country — are taxing for 66-year-old Ratcliff, who now suffers from emphysema. Even with the aid of an inhaler, she’s hard pressed to haul animals up and down the steep stairs that access the city’s culinary nerve centers. Members of the co-op have stepped in to relieve her, especially with deliveries, but Ratcliff is reluctant to hand over the reins entirely. You could call this life-long bachelorette controlling — “the new dirty word for what I was raised to think was a good thing,” she notes. But the success of Vermont Quality Meats has everything to do with Ratcliff’s sales prowess, high stan dards and impeccable service. Colicchio describes her as “salt of the earth,” but she is no rube. Exuding a grumpy cool, she mixes well with the New York crowd. And knowing the next 24 hours will be a sleep less marathon of hauling carcasses into countless kitchens, she states, “It’s a vaca tion compared to staying home.”

ou’ve got to spend the night at Lydia Ratcliff’s Lovejoy Brook Farm in order to catch the early-morning gravy train south from Andover, a small hill town between Weston and Chester. The tractor is pulled right up to the front door when I arrive at 9 o’clock, and in the failing light I recognize the cries of sheep, cows and goats. A graduate of Vermont’s ag-inspiring Putney School, Ratcliff bought the 125acre spread in 1965, after a stint in New York as a researcher at Time magazine. She spent the first 10 years on the farm ghost writing and editing Sylvia Porter's Money Book, but gradually got into farming full time. A hand-written note on the kitchen door informs me she’ll be in the barn milking until 9:30. It also suggests I make myself at home, but the room before me looks like a hurri cane blew through it, and smells distinctly of meat. The kitchen table is piled high with papers — price lists, newsletters, checks, stud catalogues — and all the cab

the last scheduled stop on the route. “Is he very busy?” she asks the hostess courteous ly. When Chef Joe comes on, she is instantly animated, sprinkling the conver sation with certos and ciaos. Ratcliff clearly enjoys selling — and she’s very persistent, according to the chefs she serves. But farming is her therapy. “I have a theory about public ritual,” she explains. “For a good Catholic, it might be going to mass every morning. For some people, it’s feeding the cats and dogs. For me, it’s milking goats. It’s entertaining, it has to be done, and you get a sense of sat isfaction from it. It’s something to get up for.”

Vermont is the Four Columns Inn in Newfane. Before breakfast, we saunter into an empty, unlocked kitchen with a 37pound lamb and a bag of sweetbreads. At $3.50 a pound, the bill comes to $129.50. Smaller lambs fetch as much as $5 a pound, including heads and hooves. Bailey and Ratcliff debate the merits of volume discounts as we power down 1-95 to the flesh-eating capital o f the Northeast. It’s clear from their exchange that Vermont Quality Meats is experienc ing some growing pains. Ratcliff wants and needs more help, but is resistant to standardizing some of her systems, claim ing she doesn’t have time. She pooh-poohs sales projections, Internet ordering and other advanced business practices. Although they speak openly about VQM “outliving” her, it’s clear Ratcliff intends to hang on to the end. She confides, “I fore see being deathly ill and having someone in the kitchen and coaching them in a raspy voice.”

o, it turns out, is a truck that rolls in the next morning, loaded with fresh meat valued at $7500. Ratcliff coordinates whose and how many animals are needed each week, and the farmers are responsible for getting them to the Fresh Farms Beef slaughterhouse in Rutland, from as far as Fort Ann and Highgate. The t is after noon by the time we arrive in process is complicated by the fact that the New York.

Daniel picks up the phone to call his “meat man.” The fellow shows up instantly to handle the incoming. But instead of check ing vitals, he spreads open the cavity and smells it. “Bon,” he confirms, and we are off again, with Ratcliff on a temporary tear about quality and customer serv ice. The customer is always right, apparently — especially when he is a French chef. Ratcliff guards her list of kitchen contacts like plans for an atom bomb, and she is always on the lookout for new recruits, both on the street and in the trusty Zagat. Although opulence runs counter to her thrifty Yankee spirit, she won’t approach a restaurant that charges less than $35 for entrees — “otherwise they can’t afford us,” she says. Along with quality of food and volume of sales, she favors spots that are easily accessible. It’s a whole new experience going to a restaurant as a deliv ery person — especially in New York. Kitchens tend to be above or below the dining room, which almost always assures a maze of less-than-appetizing cor ridor^ dnd plenty o f stairs, between the truck and the walkin.

He says a lot of top-notch chefs are making that crucial connection between family farm ing and fine dining. They are willing to make “thejnvestm ent” in a vendor as a way of support ing humane agricultural prac tices. Ratcliff recently got a call from Babbo, a top-ranked

6th Avenue, the Italian owner is as happy as his customers to have a carcass hoisted over their heads. “Hey, what’s for dinner?” they yell good-naturedly. At F.illi Ponte the pig in plastic is defi nitely a no-no. “These are Wall Street people, mostly,” the chef scolds, as if that should explain everything.

atcliff is as sensitive to these subtleties as a moth er goat is to the cries of her kid. Its what sets her delivery service apart from the “tractortrailer driver with a 5 o’clock shadow,” as she puts it. Colicchio speaks for many of his colleagues — and Ratcliffs customers — when he says, “Buying meat should be more personal than calling up someone who is going to come with a truck loaded with stuff from a feedlot somewhere.”

restaurant in the Village, because they were being picketed by ani mal-rights activists for serving veal. The chef asked Ratcliff to write a letter explaining how young calves are raised in Vermont. Ratcliff obliged, even though Babbo is not yet a cus tomer, explaining that the ani mals are neither confined nor pumped full of antibiotics, “because some damn Dutchman decided what veal should taste like.” Chefs are also pro-family farm because they want to be certain that high-quality prod ucts continue to be available, many of which are not particu larly efficient or economical to produce. A restaurant in Noho has approached Ratcliff to ask if any Vermont livestock farmers would be interested in setting up a sausage-making operation. The chef at II Buco has offered

to bring Italian meat cutters over from Europe to set up a sole U.S. supplier of authentic “Italian” sausage within striking distance of New York. The concept is no more far fetched than premium ice cream, and could impact Vermont agriculture in compa rable ways. Like Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, Ratcliff has been perfectly positioned to understand both sides of the ag equation, in this case as it relates to meat products: w'hat her cus tomers want and how much they’ll pay for quality;, and how much her producers can supply for top dollar. To chefs, Ratcliff is the real thing — straight from the slaughterhouse. To her fel low farmers, she is a gourmet go-between. “The only thing I don’t like,” says Josh Eden, a sous-chef at Jean Georges, “is we can only get a delivery once a week.” Is it feasible to add another meat run? Probably not — yet. Although demand is outpacing supply at Vermont Quality Meats, the board of directors is well aware that growing too fast could spoil everything Ratcliff has cultivated. Even if they work out the logistical kinks — get ting different people to handle sales, procurement, loading and delivery processes, instead of just one — “You can’t just send somebody south with a truckload of fresh meat, even if they know the city,” Ratcliff says. The producers are cautious, too. “If we said, “Oh, we’ve got' to produce a lot more, because the chefs want more, the co-op could fall apart,” Bailey says. “It could get too big, too fast and lose quality, to boot.” This is one ag entity that holds fast to its small-is-beautiful image and believes it, too. Heading north from Norwalk at midnight, with full stomachs, Bailey asks rhetorical ly, “You know which restaurant is my favorite?” W ithout a pause, he answers, “Hom e.” ©

Continued from page 7 Mahoney. “Then the septic sys tem failed. That opened the door for us to build one of the largest septic systems in the state” — to the tune of about a hundred grand, she says. Compounding these delays, the states permit issuing wastewater management division is “terribly under staffed,” according to Mahoney. She and business partner-chef Michel Mahe thought they would finally be opening two weeks ago, but instead faced another wait, and employees to pay. “It’s been hard for everyone, costing a lot of time and money,” Mahoney laments. Now, however, she’s opti mistic the end — or the begin ning — is near; officials have assured her a permit in two weeks or sooner. Mahe is more than ready to serve up his already-advertised French bistro fare — “with Asian and California influences, presented in a very creative way,” Mahoney clarifies. She’s fantasizing about nights with'live music and, dur ing the day, croquet — to keep the kids occupied, she suggests, while the ’rents stroll the grounds and the nearby gallery with that handblown goblet of chardonnay. “The whole experi ence is so beautiful,” Mahoney promises. Maybe she should invite the wastewater permit staff...

IN GOOD TASTE: The problem with the Burlington Dining Club is the “Burlington” part. That is, it’s a problem when pro prietor Jason Bean is bent on world domination. Well, not quite, but New England is start ing to look doable. Bean launched the dining club seven years ago, and has already grown it well beyond its home town — participating restaurants span the length of the state and serve some 5000 active members. He recently added the Warren House and Pitcher Inn, and Michael’s in Waitsfield, with more coming on board almost weekly, Bean attests. The basic idea is a card that gives users 20 percent off entrees at any restau rant on the list, which now num ber about 50. In the beginning it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and good only once per restau rant. Over time, Bean has refined the concept to better fit the needs of restaurants and the habits of diners. As with any business, the Burlington Dining Club’s success has led to its expansion, and in this case to a change in name — to “Taste of the Town.” T hat’s because an increasing number of businesses are using the dining card as thank-yous, fundraising gifts and incentives, and an increasing number of those cor porations have offices out of state. “One of my largest clients, Berlin City, opened an office in Bangor, Maine,” Bean explains. “W hen you buy a car from Berlin City, you get flowers, an annual dining club membership,

etc. So one of the first car buyers in Bangor asked if they were going to get [a card].” That prompted Bean to sign on two restaurants in the city, and he’s soliciting others in Portland and Augusta and down the Maine coast. “The ‘Burlington Dining Club’ just wouldn’t make much sense elsewhere,” sums up Bean, who plans to spread Taste of the Town throughout New England over the next five years. “To kick oft the name change, we donated $10,000 worth of memberships to the Vermont School Board Insurance Trust,” he notes. “They just completed a statewide wellness contest, trying to promote well ness to teachers, who in turn will promote it to students.” VSBIT gave the dining club member ships to teachers around state. As he travels out of Vermont, Bean will be motivated to sign on more and more restaurants — after all, he’s a card-carrying member, too, and an entrepre neur with a growing appetite has gotta eat. Preferably with a dis count.

On Battery Street next to Waterfront Video, the new venue will be part take out deli, part sit-down restaurant and part convenience store — with fresh fish one of the con veniences, along with aspirin, diapers and other sundries an incoming yachter might require. “Casual service was needed on the waterfront,” says owner Al G obeille, “but not a hot-dog stand.” Gobeille knows about service, and fish: W ith his wife Kim, he’s run Shanty on the Shore, just two blocks away, for four years. “I can get fish deliv ered six days a week,” he notes. “Since we buy a lot, I can get good quality and good prices.” Chances are residents at the upscale Battery & College con dos across the street will be

pleased, as will local employees grabbing dinner on their way home — there’s parking for eight in the front and 25 in the back. But never mind the heartier fare; passersby on a hot summer day — about 2000 of ’em, Gobeille says — will surely appreciate the two creemee windows. All the prepared food will be made fresh on the premises, Gobeille informs — except bread, which will come from local bakeries. And anyone who chooses to eat in the 60-seat dining area can also salivate over one of the best views in town. That view was just improved, in fact, by the Burlington Bay Market & Cafe itself— for years, the 6000-square-foot former filling station has competed for eyesore status with the nearby Pease Grain Tower. Still owned by Terry Spillane, Gobeille’s father-in-law, the property now hides its identity as a federal clean-up site behind a cheerful nautical decor. “The gasoline tanks were removed in 1994 or ’96,” says Gobeille. “All the dirt had to be taken out of here to an approved landfill. The state is happy with the site now — it’s all contained.” Though the City of Burlington had want ed to do something with the

property, Gobeille says it’s his “at least for now, maybe 10 years.” MAJOR FOOD GROUPS: In the mood for marinated shrimp and swing dancing? Afternoon tea at an apple orchard? O r maybe some Galactic Deviled Eggs and Spacey Spicy Meatballs at a home inspired by NASA debris? Eating well in unusual places is also altruistic if you sign up for any of the 15 culinary experi

ences in Dine Around 2000. It’s a fundraiser Lane Series board member Janet Rood heard about at a conference and launched in Burlington 16 years ago. The idea is to come up with a theme and find a host to match, or vice versa. “It was always done by committee, for years the same women,” explains Lane Manager Natalie Neuert, also a 2000 committee member. “Over the years we’ve discovered what are popular.” And what would those

be? Anything involving boats, gardens, bridge games and what Neuert dubs “the fancy dinner in the amazing, beautiful house you’d never see otherwise.” If it sounds upper-crust, it was — until recently. After all, the purpose has always been to raise money for the nonprofit Lane Series, the mostly-classical performing arts program at the University of Vermont. Each party brings in around $1000, Neuert reports, and they’d been attended by pretty much the same group of well-heeled patrons. But three years ago, when responsibility for Dine Around passed from the original com mittee to the office staff, Neuert made the first move toward greater accessibility. “I made it year-round -— it had been just sum mer,” she says. “I felt that limited the kinds of parties we could have. Now it’s not all about dressing up; there are some casual ones, too, that are very reasonably priced. Some welcome children. There’s sort of something for everyone.” The events now run $25 to $85 per person. Neuert herself is co-hosting a kids-and-parents event with a Harry Potter theme this September. The Dine Around invitation list has expanded since the old days, too — especially since

Wine magazine’s “Ten Best New Chefs” list in 1988 and a James Beard Award for “Best New Chef Northeast” in ’95. His bistro, too, consistently wins rave reviews, notably four stars from The Boston Globe. Hamersley serves up inspiring words to toque-wearing grads this Friday . . . In other NECI news, the school’s Executive Chef Robert Barrel was inducted last month into the prestigious Academie Culinaire de France. Ironically, the Montpelier-based chef, in charge of the Inn at Essex Campus and NECI Commons in Burlington, is from Mont-pellier...France . . . Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle will speak about fair trade this Saturday at the Peace & Justice Store on Church Street. But it’s not just another Progressive speech; International Fair Trade Day is about “educating the public about providing equal opportu nity for all people, and enviromentally sustainable practices,” says p& j’s Kathy Bouton. Though the store carries “fair trade” merchandise — meaning products certifiably made in safe labor conditions and bought for fair prices from artisans and farmers in developing countries — the better-known food prod ucts can be found elsewhere. The Onion River Co-op and Healthy Living both carry, for example, Fair Trade Federation-approved Equal Exchange coffees. Nationally, Safeway supermarkets

Therese Taylor was hired last fall

to coordinate the series. “We’ve found there are so many changes in the demographics of the com munity, more people who have some money and want to sup port the arts, so we opened it up,” says Neuert. “Its more dem ocratic now. We want to dispel the notion that this is only for an elite bunch.” Dine Around is still about “great food and a fun theme,” says Taylor, whose own brain storm — a harvest feast in an orchard — was inspired by the film Antonias Line. But more diversity is on the menu: “I’m trying to create a range,” Taylor says, “from the fancy schmancy to just really fun.” Some things never change, though: The par ties — for only 10 to 50 people — fill up fast. Want a reserva tion? Think 2001. BITE-SIZE: Some schools invite

politicians or other outstanding public types to speak to their graduating seniors. But at the New England Culinary Institute, it’s only reasonable to haul a chel out of the kitchen and onto the podium. This year it’s Gordon Hamersley, co-owner of Hamersley’s Bistro in Boston and long-time “friend” of the school and occasional teacher of master classes there. The French-trained Hamersley has certainly racked up enough awards to make a new generation of chefs drool — including a spot on Food and

and Starbucks coffee shops recently agreed to buy caffeine with consciousness as well. Look for the Fair Trade label to ease your own mind . . . Speaking of the Co-op — soon to be man agers of Burlington’s long-await ed downtown grocery — its board of directors has hit upon a, well, cooperative way of raising money for the new food store: a Member Loan Program. The co op is banking, literally, on some of its more monied members to provide lowish-interest, unse cured loans in order to quadruple its store size at the South Winooski Avenue site, and to reduce reliance on outside lenders. It’s too early to tell how palatable the program is — the appeal just went out late last month . . . University of Vermont professor Rachel Johnson served on the national committee to develop “Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2000.” The associate dean of research in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Johnson worked with just 10 other scientists to give the latest word on what we should eat to be healthy. While the report offers updated guide lines on weight and physical activity, portion sizes and the newest info on baddies like sugar, fat and booze, the conclusions are still what couch potatoes hate to hear: Eat less, exercise more and, for heaven’s sake, cut down on the junk food. ®

hen Linda Jaques was a little girl, she and her dad used to wait all winter for their favorite sign of spring: Beansie’s big, yellow snack-bar school bus pulling up beside Burlington’s Battery Park. Thirty years later, Beansie’s Bus still sits at Battery Park from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week, from the last Friday in March to the last Friday in September. The menu has barely budged from its classic American roots of ham burgers, hot dogs and what Jaques’ father, Robert Thibault, swears are “the best French fries in the nation.”'Father and daughter still make weekly pilgrimages to receive Beansie’s sacrament of fries crisped to gilded perfection.

But Beansie’s isn’t just about potatoes hand-cut right on the bus and twicecooked in 100 percent animal fat. “It’s the fries and the Michigans,” Jaques corrects, biting into hers — a hot dog smothered in a rich, brown blend of spiced hamburger, ketchup, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. Beansie’s Michigans inspire such ardent faith that expectant fathers have been dispatched to fetch the treat for their overdue wives in hopes of Inducing labor. And no matter how much folks swear by Beansie’s cooking, the bus is about more than mere comestibles. During the 11 years Bill Peters and his family have been running the restaurant on wheels, they’ve been serving up sustenance not just for the body, but for the soul as well.

“It’s my dad,” suggests Peters’ daughter Elise, who’s up from Florida for the sum mer to help out. “Lie’s the inspiration. Any business he’s ever had, people flock to it.” Peters was born in Winooski, the 16th child in a family of 19. Before buying Beansie’s Bus, he owned a series of busi nesses, the last of which was Longe Brothers Market on St. Paul Street. At 57, he’s a large man with a graying moustache, penetrating eyes and a consistently sunny disposition. W hen he needs to wheel a trash barrel onto the sidewalk, he does it to the cheerful tune of “Roll O ut the Barrel.” W hen a customer spills his order on the sidewalk, Peters calls through the window, “We’ll fix that up.

For 30 years, Dumas managed to keep the business running with help from his daughters and vari ous other relatives. But eventually, the grueling hours took their toll. One day in 1974, he ran into his friend Ed Hershberg in Hill’s Hardware and told him he was tired of the business. Ed and his brothers, David and Bucky, had

By then it was the mid-’70s, and late-night Battery Park was increasingly dominated by drunks and drug dealers — 100 cars could pull into the park. The bus stayed open long after every other eatery in town had closed. “Beansie’s was a lively place,” David Hershberg reflects. “You got a nice clientele, shot-and-a-

The brothers had agreed to stay out of the produce busi ness for five years. But Ed and David each had four children who were ready to start college, and they needed a new income source. So Ed offered to buy the bus. “It was all Eddie’s idea,” says David. “He called one day and said, ‘By the way, we own Beansie’s.’”

beer guys, college kids and drug gies. We’d stay open until three, then close from exhaustion or because we’d run out of stuff to sell.” Contending with rough weekend crowds was a major concern. “You’d hire somebody and you could care less about whether they knew how to cook the hot dogs and the hamburg ers,” Hershberg comments.

Jim LaPlant ran Acme Glass, which was then located just across Sherman Street from the park, in the building that now houses the Burlington Police Department. Given its location, buying Beansie’s seemed like a natural way to diversify. “My kids were in high school and

they were looking for something to do,” LaPlant explains. But the bus turned out to be more trouble than he’d anticipated. “I used to get stuck working if a kid didn’t make it,” he remem bers, still sounding sore. “It was too much with my other job as well.” Even so, LaPlant held the concession for nearly a decade, and in that time, both Beansie’s Bus and Battery Park underwent some significant changes. LaPlant replaced the old bus the Hershbergs had bought from Dumas with one that had belonged to the Elks and been outfitted with a wet bar for stag road trips. W ith a full-time busi ness to run by day, LaPlant was unwilling to keep late hours. Instead, he shut down promptly at 10 o’clock. In the park, the late-night crowds became so unruly — once even erupting into a violent melee with riotclad police — that the city per manently closed it to automo biles. The noisy night scene abruptly ended. McRae’s creemee stand closed down. LaPlant filled the gap by installing his own soft-serve machine. He also took a cue from Charlie’s Red Hots, a pop ular summer eatery in Colchester, and added Michigans to his menu. Beansie’s creemees didn’t last long. But Michigans remain as essential to the bus as the

mouth-watering fries, the gulls diving for crumbs and the flag waving over the windshield. n the decade since Peters took the wheel, both Beansie’s Bus and Battery Park have been transformed into cleaner, more controlled remakes of their gritty, greasy, former selves. In his revamped bus kitchen, Peters has improved on LaPlant’s improvisation, devising his own “special spicy” Michigan sauce. He has expanded the sandwich board to includes steaks and grilled chicken breasts — the latter a nod to health-consciousness. In defer ence to the perky ice cream icon the bus still sports from its role in the film Me, Myself and Irene — the Jim Carrey movie shot in Burlington last year — he’s con sidering reintroducing creemees. This summer, for the first time, Beansie’s menu will be available at a second location: Waterbury, where Peters’ son Shawn will be operating a con cession called “Beanzie’s.” One thing that will not change, though, is the fries. “People complain about the grease,” Peters admits. “But you can’t make good fries without the grease.” Battery Park saw a sharp decline in use after it was closed to cars. But in the last few years, families have begun to return,

their faces reflecting the neigh borhood’s changing demograph ics. Last summer, the park proved a'particularly popular gathering place for the neigh borhood’s increasingly numerous Vietnamese residents, some of whom, Peters says, will occa sionally exchange their home made spring rolls for his pepper steaks. * The presence of the police in the old Acme Glass building has meant more law and order. And a city law that forbids feeding gulls — reinforced by a var nished, wooden reminder bolted to the side of the bus — makes for more garbage- and guanofree grass. These changes seem to please the bus’ loyal clientele. “It’s just gotten better,” attests Lee Donaldson, who lives across the street from the park and has been coming to the bus his whole life. Donaldson is just one in a constant parade of patrons who stream out of their homes at the start of the season and stick around until September, when the grease-guz zling switches briefly to the Champlain Valley Fair. T hat’s when Peters, who works 180 days straight without a break, takes a well-deserved rest. But he’ll be back in the spring, eager to nurture his hungry flock. “It’s not a job. It’s a passion,” he avows. (7)

Manners? A NECI chef cooks up classes in eating etiquette

B y M arialisa C alta ver the past 20 years, the New England Culinary Institute has introduced Vermonters to such concoctions as raspberry coulis, duck confit, “Napoleons” made of onions and tomatoes, falafel, couscous, empanadas, brioche, mesclun and warm goat cheese, not to men tion “fusion,” “pan-Asian” and “nouvelle American” cooking. Vermonters responded. Gone are the days when a can of Vienna sausage and a six-pack of Bud counted as dinner. Not when we could have Vietnamese spring rolls, opal-basil sorbet and a bot tle of Zilliken ’95. Now the school would like to teach us bow to eat. How to eat

with good manners, that is. Philip Smith — the restaurant manager and instructor at N EC I’s high-end C hef’s Table restaurant in Montpelier — is ready to launch classes in table etiquette for the general public. He seems a natural for the task. Born in England to a British Army officer, and educat ed at British boarding schools, Smith traveled extensively with his parents and on his own. He’s studied the restaurant business in England, Switzerland and Washington, D.C. — where, at the Jefferson Hotel four blocks from the W hite House, he % learned “the proper care and han dling of foreign dignitaries.” In addition to English, Smith speaks French, German, Italian

and “kitchen” Spanish. To top it off, he has a “proper” British accent, which confers instant authority on such matters as manners — at least to most Americans. “There are certain things that can be said with a British accent,” Smith acknowl edges, “that would absolutely come off as priggish and ludi crous if spoken by an American.” But perhaps best of all, this chef, now 36, gives the impres sion he’d be comfortable in all levels of society, not just the upper echelons. I’ve seen him in action, as solicitous with the patron fretting over the selection of a $22 bottle of Sirah as with the expensively dressed gentle man dropping $100 on a Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose. Smith treats all with dignity and respect. And that, he says, is the essence of good manners. “The idea is to accord people dignity, while maintaining your own,” Smith suggests. “Putting people at ease is what good man ners is all about. They should never be used as a weapon, to show off one’s superior station in life.” Smith further defines man ners as the “substrata of civility.” Good manners, he says, are a constant. Etiquette is “more effete, more about form than function.” For example, we know from etiquette manuals that ladies at a formal dinner should remove their gloves at the table

— and not before. We know that a small fork nestled in the bowl of one’s soup spoon is an indica tion of impending oysters. While knowing your way around flatware may come in handy, it is not essential to good manners. Manners don’t change with place and time; etiquette does — hence the demise of the fmgerbowl and the rise of the paper napkin. “For example,” Smith says over a casual lunch at the Main Street Grill & Bar, another NECI institution, “If you were to get up and go to the loo and I were to stand as you left the table, that might be a bit much, a bit formal and over the top in this setting.” At a formal dinner, however, ris ing when the ladies do would not be. Every setting has its rules of etiquette — even elementary school lunchrooms, Smith says. He’s learned from his six-year-old daughter that there are strict, unwritten rules about what food can be traded. There’s a growing “branch” of etiquette about even such infor mal dining situations as handing out granola bars in the car. “You are the parent in charge, you bring one for everyone, you have a trash bag available and perhaps some Handi-wipes,” Smith offers. It’s easier, of course, to teach about forks and fingerbowls than to teach basic civility. “We

used to learn manners at our mother’s knee,” says Smith. But with the frantic lives of contem porary two-income families and the decline of the daily family dinner — once the “classroom” for table manners and social graces — Smith says many young people learn the basics in businesses. As it has so many other areas of our life, he says “the corporate world is re-interpreting and re defining etiquette.” A business woman, for example, is just as duty-bound to hold a door for a male colleague as he is for her. It’s simply good manners. Smith first presented a class on etiquette to a group of N E C I’s B.A. students, where it was enthusiastically received. His first attempt this month at a class for the public — a “narrated” cocktail party and dinner, with Smith explaining the etiquette of the event — was canceled due to lack of enrollment, but he’ll try again in the near future. A class focusing on business etiquette, tentatively scheduled for June 13 at NECI Commons in Burlington with a group from the University of Vermont, may be open to the public. If you manage to get in, don’t forget to say “thank you.” (7) For more information about upcoming etiquette classes, call Lori Schober at 862-6324, ext. 38.

The huevos are hot at Burlington’s biggest-booming b re a k fa s t sp ot By A nne Galloway any restaurants serve lunch as an after thought, and breakfast not at all. If you happen to like eating out in the morning, the options are usually hitting a diner — where all the major food groups are fried — skimping on the most im portant meal of the day with a pas try and a cuppa joe, or resorting to the nuked subfoods at McDonald’s. When it comes to restaurants with flair and dependably good weekend brunches, there are pre cious few choices. As for finding the early birds nirvana — a joint that serves gourmet breakfast food seven days a week, all day long — what comes to mind in the Queen City is Penny Cluse Cafe. Imagine an eatery entirely devoted to the breakfast and lunch crowd, and you’ve dreamed up Penny Cluse. It’s not a divey diner, nor a fancy dinner restau rant posing as a breakfast spot. Penny Cluse is exclusively that rare restaurant species — a brunch bistro. The menu is loaded with standards like homefries, biscuits, eggs, corn bread, pancakes and deli-style sandwich es. But it also offers exciting nonNew England fare: variations on southwest and caribe favorites, such as huevos rancheros, chili relleno, plaintain cake and flank steak, with a few Euro treats — polenta, orzo salad, andouille — thrown in for good measure. This imaginative take on the breakfast of champions attracts crowds. Last week, the cafe cele brated its two-year anniversary,

and its resounding success. “We’re doing extremely well,” Reeves says. “I knew we were going in with the right thing in the right area. Like Sneakers in Winooski, Penny Cluse has a line out the door before it opens on weekends. The cafe seats 65, and a single

table can turn over seven times on any given Saturday. Nearly 1000 people swamp the cafe every weekend, according to co-owner and chef Charles Reeves. In spite of the turnover, Penny Cluse feels nothing like a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am diner. The waitstaff is efficient without being overbearing, and the food is thoughtfully present ed. The dining areas look like large, split-level living rooms lift ed straight out of a Pottery Barn catalogue. Real paintings by local artists adorn the walls, and real flowers grace the old-fashioned lunch counter. From a bank of six-foot square windows you can watch the traffic at the busy intersection of South Winooski Avenue and Cherry Street. Penny Cluse Cafe is named after a dog — the cherished m utt whose photo greets cus tomers just inside the door. Penny belonged to Holly Cluse, Reeves’ wife, and cafe co-owner, until the canine died nearly 10 years ago. A professional photog rapher, Cluse also shot the photo, capturing her former pet in a beguiling, all-nose-and-eyes

here’s not a lot of wiggle room for restaurants in Burlington. Surviving depends on a delicate balance of concrete things like selection, quality and price — as well as intangibles like image, ambiance and reputation. Fifteen years of restaurant experience in New Jersey and San Fransisco helped Cluse and Reeves figure out what would work in Burlington. By the time Reeves and Cluse were ready to start their own business in 1998, they had a pretty good idea what could make or break them. “Were as much interested in running a good business as we are in offering good food,” Reeves says. “We feel we have a responsibility to employees to make sure the restaurant is always run in top-notch condi tion.” Reeves had been working at The Dockside for about eight months when he and Cluse came across the vacant former Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop just east of the Church Street Marketplace — Mykonos had already given up the gyros after a brief go as a Greek restaurant. They bought the fixtures from the landlord and maxed out their credit cards to buy a commercial dishwasher. A month — and many coats of paint — later, they opened. While Reeves did the cook ing, Cluse ran the business, deco rated the space and managed the wait staff. When their son Jack was born 10 months ago, she began running the business from home. “It was the two of us working together that made this happen,” Reeves says. “I had know-how, but she put the whole picture together. You look at a lor of restaurants and they’re function al. But it’s the combination of atmosphere, service and food that works.” Reeves says some regulars come every day for breakfast or lunch. To him that says they’re doing something right. “It’s the community aspect of a restaurant,” Reeves says. “T hat’s our mission. We try to have a lot of soul in our restaurant.” For that reason, Reeves and Cluse pay close attention to their staff of about 20 — a tight-knit group of talented young people who recently presented a reading at Rhombus Gallery billed as “Penny Cluse Writers.” When Reeves trains his cooks, he wants them to understand how the food melds together. They work as a team to perfect the food. “We don’t want people who are going to just do a job,” Reeves says. “This is mine and Holly’s restaurant, and we feel deeply about it.”

That’s why everything on the menu, including the salsa, is made from scratch. Reeves has spent years painstakingly devel oping the Mexican and Caribbean dishes on the menu. The plaintain cakes are delec table bars of ripe plaintains that have been boiled in their skins, mashed with butter and cooked long enough to set before they are cut into rectangles, grilled and set to rest on a stew of spicy black beans. The house “mystery sauce” — salsa rancheros -— is made with chipotle and cascabell peppers, a

Surprisingly, one of the best selling items is homemade bis cuits and gravy. Not red-eye gravy, but a milk-based, vegetari an, herb-cream gravy thickened with onions and carrots and fla vored with pureed spinach, pars ley and basil. “A lot of vegetarians who come in think it’s the cat’s paja mas,” Reeves notes. He’s also proud of his corn polenta. Harold Putnam, of Pager’s Grist Mill in Cambridge, grows the corn and grinds it to order. The cafe serves the fresh polenta with salsa, beans and two eggs“We’re very into using local food sources,” Reeves says. He buys organic vegetables from Frog Valley Farm in the Intervale whenever possible. Despite the gourmet food, Penny Cluse prices are reason able. A hearty breakfast runs between $4.50 and $6.50; lunch is $6.25 to $8. “O ur prices are great because we’re able to move through so much stuff that it’s economically viable,” Reeves explains. The cafe doesn’t scrimp on quantity, either: Homefries are served in gargantuan mounds. Reeves and his staff of six chefs peel and dice 1200 pounds of potatoes per week. “We care about food, our employees and our customers,” Reeves testifies, “and we’re in it for the long haul.” ®

IN THE INK James Kochalka has been out of the limelight for a little while, but, typically, he hasn’t exactly been idle. The Burlington cartoon ist/ songwriter hits the newsstands this month with a cover feature in The Comics Journal. Or is it the back cover? Depending on which way you hold the magazine, it’s got a dif ferent cover. Whatever. The guy’s all over CJ. Magic Boy sticks his toothy head into the table of contents, a panel from Perfect Planet appears in a separate article about comics pub lishers and distributors, and the 20page feature includes an interview with Kochalka about his life and his characters, sample cartoons — and an uncredited photo of the Superstar screaming into a mike, taken by Seven Days photographer Matthew ThOfSen. It also features the intrigu ing pull-quote: “I haven’t worked at a regular job for a year. That was my New Year’s resolution for 1999. My New Year’s resolution for 1998 was to destroy my enemies.” Meanwhile, Vermont’s most famous musical export, Phish, is the cover story in the June edition of Down Beat. Thought it was a jazz magazine? Well, it is, but it’s about improvisational music, posits an edi torial justifying the feature, and Phish — along with other jam bands — “celebrates innovation and improvisation above the glitz and grandstanding associated with most

of today’s popular music.” So there. Another Vermont celeb, Seth YaCOVOne, will get some national ink, too, in the July/August issue of Relix magazine, and fellow bluesmen Red Beans got a rave review for their debut CD, On Your Way Up, in this month’s Blues Revue. Though the Beans are in Boston now, they play ’round here frequently — including a date this Friday at Vermont Pub & Brewery. Finally, Chin Ho! front man Andrew Smith was interviewed in In Newsweekly — New England’s Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual News Source. Shouldn’t that be Out Newsweeklyi AND THE WINNERS WERE... Since

I didn’t have a column last week, I missed the chance to tell you who won the Advance Music Buzz Homebrew High School Band Search. Number one was the sevenpiece Wreckinghorn, though I’m told by Advance owner Mike Trombley that Absolute Zero was a very close second. “I could barely play ‘Smoke on the Water’ at that age,” he adds modestly. Congrats to the ’horns, who won all kinds of cool stuff. And speaking of competi tions, brace yourselves for the 7th annual Guitar Summit this Sunday at Metronome. This one’s limited to 25 contestants, and if you ax-slingers haven’t signed up yet, call Advance to see if there’s still a spot for you.

THAT’S THE SPIRIT Attention,

Vermont composers: Wanna make a quick $7500? All you have to do is compose a chamber work 15 min utes in length and submit it to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Oh, and you have to win the competition to get the money. The commission is an “extension” of the symphony’s residency in Vermont this April, and the composition is supposed to “reflect the spirit of the people of Vermont.” Whatever that is. I recommend reflecting the Vermont spirit in summertime. Send your submissions to the Vermont Arts Council by July 28. The finalist

summer’s Palcon Ridge Polk Pestival in Hillsdale, New York, while spring flowers are abloom: Hugh Blumenfeld, Small Potatoes, Ruthie Foster and Vermont’s own Rachel Bissex are spreading the

word on the fest’s third annual pre view tour, this Saturday at the Burlington Coffeehouse . . . DysFunkShun have been picked up by Anthony County Management. The NYC-based County (who also manages The Bad Brains) attended the Burlington hip-hoppers’ perfor mance at CBGB’s after hearing a cut from their latest disc on the radio. Good luck!. . . Bloozotomy singer/guitarist Jim Branca reports that his album, Ain't Dead Yet, was number 2 on the blues charts at Epikonia radio in Athens, Greece, for the month of April. Guess the Greeks speak blues . . . Singing leg end Betty Johnson comes north, with her daughter Lydia Gray, for a benefit for the Middlesex Methodist Church this Saturday. The ’50s star got her start with religious material before switching to pop and making frequent appearances on “The Tonight Show” and “The Ed Sullivan Show” . . . Now here’s some thing a little different: Tammy Fletcher demonstrates throat singing at Montpelier’s Savoy Theater this Friday, following the Academy Award-nominated documentary Genghis Blues. The shows benefit the Shamanic Conservancy . . . Looks like “hillbilly boogie” is a hit in Burlington. The Starline Rhythm Boys’ party at Metronome had lines out the door Friday night....®

Burlington drag queen/chanteuse Yolanda? Then check out her latest interview at GAYBC.com. Furthermore, she and public-access costarlet Cherie Tartt got not quite 15 minutes of fame on television’s “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart last Tuesday (re-run Wednesday). Appropriately, their show was clipped for a feature called “Public Excess.” “No one could be more excessive,” quoth Cherie. Let’s hope not. Both, uh, girls are in high demand for upcoming Pride events, including one in Portland, Maine. Yolanda will perform solo for Brooklyn Pride, and back home with the Plastic Family at 135 Pearl next month. Oh, and we’re told she’ll be a headliner at Vermont’s first queer outdoor music festival, appropriately called Sugar Pest — July 8 in Huntington. Stay tuned.

disc, ending with a Flaming Lips-style expansion reminiscent of The Soft Bulletin. You may not even pick up on the Beatles-esque modulation and organ in “Pretty Mary K” at first (think “Because”), but it’s one of those nice surprises you’ll appreci ate over time. Figure 8 is well-paced and subtle, so it’s a record you won’t tire of easily. Even “Son of Sam, ” currently heard on alt radio, has a way of taking hold after a while. Time will tell where Figure 8 ranks among Smith’s other albums; from song-to-song this reminds me of parts of all of them, and it fits well in his evolution. But any new Elliott Smith product beats most other new releases out there these days (especially in the shelf-life depart ment). See the real thing when Smith returns to Higher Ground this Saturday. — Colin Clary PATTI CASEY, UNDER DIFFERENT SKIES, Long Shot Music, CD) — It’s been two years since Bolton singer-songwriter Patti Casey released her solo album, Around Again, recorded in Ferrisburgh with guitarist Bob Gagnon. Vermont fans have had to bide their time listening to that, her guest appearance on the benefit disc Man’s Best Friend, or to her occasional live perfor mances. Under Different Skies, the welcome new release on Casey’s own label, shows off some of the finest vocals and cre ative songwriting you’re liable to hear anywhere. The CD is loaded with classy, heartfelt

music, delivered by a voice like expensive choco late — smooth, dark and with just a touch of bittersweet. Under Different Skies was recorded at Charles Eller Studios in Charlotte, as was Around Again. But unlike on her first album, there is no “wall of sound” background. Some blessedly sparse arrangements provide just what Casey needs to show off heif expressive voice and gentle inflection, although in a few places I wish I could turn down the accompaniment and bring up the vocals. For the most part the mix is right on. The 11 songs on the CD are all Casey originals, and range from Carter Family-style classics (“The Fairest Dogwood Bloom”) to torch songs (“Heaven Knows”) to sassy newgrass (“Hallway Through the Gate”). Casey is accompanied by a small platoon of accomplished Vermont musi cians, including regular Redwing bandmates David Gusakov and Will Patton, Unknown Blues guitarist Paul Asbell and bassist Tony Markelis, and former Jeter Le Pont vocalist Dana Whittle. I love the mouth music and Quebecois swing on “Down From Canada,” a number dedi cated to the late, great Vermont musician Martha Pellerin. Central Vermont bowman Jason Bergman adds just the right amount of tender, lascivious violin to “Heaven Knows.” In addi tion, well-known Massachusetts singer-song writer Brooks Williams adds tasteful slide guitar on a number of tracks. A special pleasure of Under Different Skies is a lovely performance of “Old Man” — the song previ ously available only on Man’s Best Friend. This is surely destined to become a Patti Casey standard. This recording is simply full of gems. Casey and Redwing celebrate the CD release this Friday at Buch Spieler in Montpelier. — Robert Resnik

HERBS Jazz can boast many great and innov ative drummers, and among those revered ranks is Eivin Jones. Born in Pontiac, Michigan, in 1927 — and growing up in the shad ow of General Motors — this baby of 10 children found his place in the world with a pair of drumsticks. By the time he was in junior high he was practicing eight hours a day. Largely self-taught, Jones paid his dues in Detroit before heading to New York, where he joined Charlie Mingus’ band and went on to play with other jazz greats, including Miles Davis and Art Farmer. It was his years playing with John Coltrane (1960-66) that most affected Jones’ playing, though. Of that era, Rolling Stone critic Stephen Davis wrote, “...Eivin seemed to temper the awesome power of the music with the always contrasting flow of time that he innovated...and so subtly changed the way an entire gen eration of jazz fans listened to music.” Jones’ high stan dards haven’t fallen in the decades since. He comes to the Discover Jazz Festival June 10 at the Flynn Theatre, with the equally dynamic drummer of this generation, Jeff

“Dueling Banjos” doesn’t do it for Tony Trischka. The bluegrass virtuoso delivers a lot more than fast finger-picking in his solo show.

The man who trained Bela Fleck also looks ahead, to the “post-bluegrass future.” Even The Beatles make an appearance. Tuesday, May 23. Vergennes Opera House, 7:30p.m. $10. Info, 877-6737.

hile nearly every art exhibit offers some thing of interest, a few should simply be declared “must-see” shows. The usual reasons are earth-shaking sub ject matter, new technical approaches or great historical significance. The Peter Arvidson show at Burlington’s DollAnstadt Gallery is not really apy of the above. However, .this % Cambridge, Massachusetts, artist is a consummate colorist. His abstracted landscapes are chromatically superior to most work encountered locally. At the very least, every painter in this area ought to seek it out. The 22 mixed-media and oil paintings on canvas and paper illustrate subtleties of color by creating harmonies and varia tions with a sophistication and simplicity reminiscent of Paul Klee. Three particular works on paper, each composed around a different primary color, illus trate how fluent Arvidson is with the language of coloration — blue in “After the Rain,” red in “Ghetto” and yellows in “The Good Journey.” His facile understanding of the way these hues interact with others is the key reason Arvidson should be regarded as a master colorist. “After the Rain” is a simple composition. Its undulating grid of indigo, blue-green and raw umber squares has been lay ered with cool glazes and other varied intensities of opaque and transparent paint. Where the dominating hues are placed within Arvidson’s paint ings are as impor tant as which ones, and in what proportion. The red canvas, “Ghetto,” is conjured from closely conjoined warm colors, such as crimson, vermilion and rose. But “Ghetto” also features complementary greens layered beneath a few squares of ruddy translucency strategically placed around the relatively flat picture plane. “The Good Journey” is organized around pale yellows, yellow ocher and yellow-orange with light blue accents. This work displays the greatest varia tions in intensity and value among the three, and has a looser composition based on weighted lines — more closely related to Kandinsky than Klee.

•r

A detail from Peter Arvidson’s new works. although the curved shapes of their hulls do interact nicely with the geometry of the build ings. A gentle border of staccato brushstrokes unobtrusively edges the entire painting. Another quasi-literal piece is “The Fair Ground,” structured in blue, turquoise and greens with orange and yellow linear elements, such as a Ferris wheel, buildings, trees and cars. It also has the same kind of brush strokes on the border, but the warmer details are only on the right side and bottom edge, reinforcing the overall low-laymg composition. “The Bluff” is made up of three horizontal bands of unbroken cool col ors and a central band of play ments are insignificant com ful brushstrokes and lines. In pared to Arvidson’s use of color. this oil-on-paper piece, It is as if the painter gratuitous Arvidson places lighter values ly adds literal content to make over darker ones, unifying sky, the work more accessible to land and water. The entire piece viewers who may not have the visual literacy to fully appreciate is activated by the playful tex tures of the central band in a purely abstract framework. reds, purples and yellows. The monochromatic “Red Arvidson’s work is decora River, Red Sky” consists of tive, but so was the Trojan three open boats moored in Horse. And similarly to that front of a jumbled horizon of classic visual trick, the child-like buildings across the large-scale nature of Arvidson’s drawing canvas. Again, color makes it a memorable painting. Glazes o f v may be an appealing ruse to Fill alizarin crimson and transparen the viewer’s eyes with a more substantive aesthetic experience. cies of rose madder are more engaging than the boats, ® •

Many of Arvidson’s works contain repeating images drawn in an unaffected, child-like way and immersed within th f jn terwoven hues. These small, narra tive symbols include houses, trees that look like balloons or triangles, line drawings of cars, arches, boats and playground toys. They are finely scratched lines in the surfaces of the paintings, or sometimes drawn in delicate delineations with paint or charcoal. But these ele

The whole set-up here is lifted straight out of that popular series — humans kept in cages and treated like dumb beasts by their subjugators until a single earthling demonstrates recognizable intelligence and then spearheads a revolution. Barry {Saving Private Ryan) Pepper plays the human who talks everyone into trying to reclaim the planet. The crucial differ ence between his character here and Charlton Heston’s in the Planet films is NEGATIVE SPACE Travolta’s latest is an intergalactic that Travolta creates his own problems by hooking Pepper up to some fancy hackjob that deserves its universally bad reviews.

He’s like an extra-large Boris Badenov who’s Kelly Preston, his better half? But I digress. always coming up with bone-headed, evil schemes. I half-expected Battlefield Earth to be half-way My sense was that he probably would have got a pro worthwhile.

If that’s the case, then this is an exceptionally was, this ragtag sci-fi rip-off makes that picture look poor adaptation, and both director Roger Christian like 2001. and producer Travolta should be discouraged against Luckily for Pepper, the geniuses on the home similar undertakings in the future.

There really isn’t a coherent story, just Hubbard’s half-baked vision to the screen, but it’s a succession of poorly explained occurrences which unlikely Travolta is going to make anyone who sees seem strangely familiar, as though you’ve come across Battlefield Earth a believer. ®

ne of the best things about living in Vermont is the extraordinary way that spring bursts over the land. Like fire rushing through dry grass, the vivid colors of new growth seem to arrive overnight: You fall asleep in mud season and wake up in paradise. Driving through your neighborhood, you notice that everyone’s vegetable garden has suddenly been dug. The air vibrates with the chug and splut ter of Rototillers. And that’s when you realize that half your own gar den is under water, the rest is under grass, and the hundreds of seedlings on your windowsills are emanating reproach. For those of us whose dreams of delicious homegrown produce are transformed, mid-May, into the possibility that we might have bitten off more than we can chew, their needs.

with gusto, describing assassin bugs “like a miniature robot mon ster from some science fiction movie,” and a spined soldier bug that likes “to harpoon its prey... then injects a paralyzing venom and sucks the victims body flu ids.” With this kind of action going down amongst the egg plants, who needs slasher pics? There’s some comfort in the fact that praying mantises “seem to find ladybugs bitter — though I don’t know who interviewed the mantis to find this out,” Smith quips. Smith writes with gentle humor, and he gets his points across. The first two sections of the book, which deal with creat ing beds, cultivating plants and improving the soil, among other

The V eg etab le G a rd e n e r’s B ib le , by Edward C. Smith. Storey Books, 3 1 0 pages, $ 2 4 .9 5 .

topics, are clear and instructional. The third section, “Vegetables & Herbs, A-Z,” is just as informa tive, but is territory that many books cover. In Smith’s defense, he isn’t striving for originality, just clarity. But he does give unusually useful tips, like appropriate com panion plantings — e.g., don’t grow fennel near the radishes. He also describes interesting heirloom varieties. Take Zucchetta Rampicante, the Italian trombone squash. Like a zucchini stretched to 15 inches, it grows on a vine, fruits all season and is resistant to the squash-borer — and should be the antidote to squash boredom as well. Smith’s writing style is as light and open as the soil in his beds. On one level this is an idiot’s guide to the subject, and Smith is a good teacher. He emphasizes that growing fantastic produce ought to be easy. The title of Part One, “From Seed to Harvest: Higher Yields with Less Work,” comes as a clarion call to every one who sees gardening as medieval torment or time on the chain gang. His lavish, step-bystep photographs and friendly, conversational text do dispel a lot of myths. There’s no miracle fix in the garden, of course, and no substi tute for deep digging — by hand if possible. Smith warns against regular Rototilling, which creates a hard layer called “tiller pan” and upsets worms and other soilfriendly creatures. A great deal of his system is common sense, but no less valuable for that. Popular books on gardening — and on most things, for that matter — usually consist of common-sense basics dished out in easy-to-digest forms. The trick is to find the approach and style that works for you. Smith’s book isn’t particular ly radical, and doesn’t claim to be. But it is accessible, encouraging and attractive. The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible is the perfect beginner’s guide. Smith even explains how to inter pret seed catalogues. It is proba bly less useful to those who have gardened for years; on the other hand, experienced gardeners have probably arrived at the W.O.R.D. system on their own. But as more and more peo ple shy away from chemicals and genetic tinkering, as public interest in the process of food production grows, and as organ ic food co-ops spring up like dandelions in a lazy gardener’s lawn, Smith’s ebullient, positive approach strikes the right chord. A bountiful garden is a utopia in miniature, an escape into rural paradise. This book makes the dream of getting back to the land — even if the land in question is a little patch of backyatd — seem within reach. Now if only it would stop raining... 0

t started out as one of those lazy, late-winter weekends in Montreal — no plans, no tickets, just a cabin-fever get away. Somehow, though, the lazy weekends often end up being the most memorable. We start out thinking we’ll just wander aim lessly, maybe check out some thing we’d heard or read about, and we end up on a mission, seeking some Quebecois version of the Holy Grail. This time my husband and I started the day at our favorite boot store — Tony’s on Avenue Green in Westmount. We were surrounded by a group of latemiddle-aged Italian shoe salesmen and, seeing a great opportunity, I asked what restaurant they’d rec ommend. For example, I said, if you were going to take the family out to celebrate your daughter’s high school graduation, where would you go? After a brief dis cussion they all agreed on La Gioconda on Decarie Boulevard. I took note for a future visit, and we left for our next stop, IKEA. Still, I didn’t know this was a mission for food. I thought we were looking for bookcases. But the large, new addition to the IKEA store has a small Swedish food market and, to my surprise, I recognized the flatbread crackers

and pickled herring we’d been served by our Swedish hostess at the B&B that morning. I gath ered up cardamom-flavored toasts, jars of pickled herring — one flavored with dill, the other with mustard — squeeze tubes of salmon roe paste for crackers, and bottles of lingonberry juice. Oh, and a new bookcase. As we had to take Decarie Boulevard back downtown, we decided to check out the Italian restaurant tip. We found La Gioconda at 5625 Decarie, near Queen Mary. It was early Saturday afternoon, so we could only press our famished faces to the windows and hover over the posted menu in the window. A delivery of freshly pressed linens was outside the locked door, and we could see beautifully set tables inside, complete with wine glass es, china and silver. From the look of the place and the prices on the menu, the recommenda tion matched my inquiry quite well: It’s the kind of place that would be special, but not so exclusive as to rule out taking the whole family. We vowed to try it out someday. Heading back to the car, we passed a small storefront, two doors down from La Gioconda, whose steamy windows were full of Cyrillic lettering and posters announcing Russian emigre

events. Having no other plans, we ducked in from the cold, and immediately were greeted by shelves stocked with imported Russian, Polish, Ukrainian and every other kind of Eastern European canned food, not to mention the pungent smells of sausage and fresh pickled vegeta bles. We picked out a jar of Polish dill pickles and a small tub of spicy coleslaw — to which the clerk kept sticking out his tongue and pointing at it. We interpreted this to mean “very spicy,” and nodded happily at his warning. We cut over to Avenue Victoria and were headed toward Sherbrooke when another grocery caught our attention. The signs in the windows of Epicerie Shavit at 6334 Victoria display a remark able geo-gastronomic breadth: spices from the West Indies, East Indies, Africa and Asia, all in one little United Nations of a store. By now, we had caught on to our true mission for the day, and the Grail was in sight. We jammed a loonie into the parking meter and prepared to stock the spice cabi net. The western hemisphere of the shop contained several pre pared jerk marinades, yuccas and yams, plantains and bananas, and more brands of habanero pepper sauce than I’ve ever seen in one place. The Southeast Asian sector

included fresh Thai basil, red, yel low and green curry pastes, three brands of coconut milk and sev eral choices of rice. The Indian subcontinent area offered several prepared curry mixes and meals. From sub-Saharan Africa there were an amazing variety of veg etables unknown to us, and from

peas and beans, including fava, a rainbow of lentils, bulk halva and various honey-nut pastries. The real treasure trove is one block east at Halal, with a great selection of feta cheeses — we counted five this visit and tasted three, none of them Greek. They range from salty and sharp to

I even located pellets of frank incense in bulk, for burning on holy — and unholy — days. My head was spinning at the menu possibilities, but we frugally picked out a jar of jerk marinade, a tin of mild Indian curry mix and some Sichuan pepper corns. Now on a roll, we had to make one more stop on SteCatherine: Noor, a butcher and grocer at 1861 Ste-Catherine Ouest, is halal, which is the Muslim version of kosher.

This being our old ’hood — we had a studio apartment near here for two years — we knew that the best cheap pizza in town was around the corner: Super Pointe at 1446 St. Mathieu. It’s been 49 cents a slice for at least three years, and is often served up by mysterious women wearing the full chador of the Middle East.

surely have put a stop to it, even if he had to call the Burlington Police Department. If Corey truly “feared for his life” at the initiation party, why didn’t he, his mother or his lawyer alert UVM about it? Had the athletic department been tipped off about the party, you can bet dollars to doughnuts they would have nipped it in the bud. And Corey also kept quiet about the “Big Party” after it happened. At least he kept quiet until the fateful day almost two weeks later, when Coach Gilligan informed him he wasn’t going to make the team. Corey’s reaction? Anger at the coach. He just couldn’t accept that he wasn’t good enough. Quickly, within a day, he made plans to try out for a junior team in Rochester, New York, and he kissed UVM good bye. He also decided to sue the university. A few days later, his lawyers were demanding a $350,000 payoff from UVM in return for Corey’s cooperation in the uni versity’s investigation of hazing. They now had what they con sidered the smoking-gun evi dence of the “Big Night” initia tion party — the drinking, the puking, the strippers, the Elephant Walk. Corey, his mom and their lawyers had dollar signs in their eyes. Big balloons. Dreams of easy money. Four months ago in this space, based on the evidence available at the time, yours truly called for the professional heads of four UVM administrators in the chain of command, from the coach to the university presi dent. The evidence was clear that two university-sanctioned investigations — one internal and one external — failed to uncover the truth about the hockey teams prohibited acts. The hockey pucks hung together like a team dedicated to a com mon goal — covering their butts. They lied to the coach. They lied to the athletic director.

W7 "

y They lied to the outside lawyers brought in to find the truth. Their lying cost them the season and the lifelong memo ries that would have gone with it. It cost them the respect of the fans. And, most regrettably, it parked a dark cloud over the head of a very decent and dedi cated coach who’s put his heart and soul into taking UVM hockey to the highest level of collegiate competition — the NCAA Final Four. Today, in light of Corey LaTulippe’s admissions of deceit and dishonesty, yours truly wish es to retract our earlier view that college officials should have been dismissed over the matter. They were not perfect, but they cer tainly made the effort. Like most people, we believed LaTulippe to be an honest victim. He was nei ther. Rather, it’s the character and integrity of one person in partic ular that stands tall in our view — Mike Gilligan. Even when he broke the news to Corey that he wasn’t going to make the team, Gilligan’s first concern was for the kid’s future. The coach offered LaTulippe three options: He could “red-shirt” a year and have the shoulder repaired; he could stay in school and practice once a week with the varsity; or he could sign on with the local junior team, play lots of hockey and remain a student. Even in the intervening months, when the you-know-what hit the fan and the Coach’s butt was on the line, not once — not once — did Mike Gilligan have an unkind word to say about Corey LaTulippe. This week hockey fans ’round the world are glued to their television sets watching the semi-finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs — the international World Series of ice hockey. And hockey fans around the world will marvel at the amazing moves and classy style of a cer tain forward on the Philadelphia Flyers. And they’ll remark about the courageous play of a certain defenseman on the Colorado Avalanche, the one playing with a faceguard to protect his broken jaw. John LeClair is the premier power forward on the ice today. Aaron Miller has become the most reliable cog in the Colorado defense. Some will remember them from their younger years as boys becoming men under the guidance of Mike Gilligan. The classy play of LeClair and Miller on the world stage today is, at least in part, a reflection of the quality educa tion they received in Coach Gilligan’s class up at the Gut. The UVM hockey pucks will be back on the Gutterson ice come fall. Gilligan will be behind the bench. And if ever there was a season when a team had something to prove, this will be the one. Adversity, they say, buildscharacter. We’ll see. ®

VACATION RENTAL

— Brian ju st “burn, baby, burn. ” The side benefit is that our north Florida property is mosquito-free due to my daily foggings. However, my brother-infaw is coming to town and w ill be using the car fo r a couple o f weeks. So, looking for a quick, cheap and desperate fix, I bought the “magic pellets”from the JC Whitney catalog. I pulled the plugs out and dropped 11 pellets into each cylinder. The directions said nine, but I said i f nine are good, 11 must be better. M y wife thinks she sees less smoke coming out o f the tailpipe, and I

RAY: You’re going to have to write back and tell us, Brian. TOM : Here’s the theory: When engines get old and worn out, space develops between the pis ton rings and the cylinder walls. That lets oil sneak into the combustion chamber, J where it gets burned and then spewed out the tailpipe as blue haze — which appeals to nei ther man nor mosquito. RAY: And although we couldn’t get the scientists at JG Whitney to divulge their “pelletalogical”

secrets, our guess is that the magic pellets must somehow melt against the cylinder walls, thickening the walls and there fore closing the spaces between the walls and the piston rings (Note: this is complete and utter speculation on our part — and therefore, probably bull-feathers). TOM : We D O know of one case where they actually worked. At least for a while. How far did Nissenbaum’s front-end loader run with those pellets? RAY: About 60 miles. TOM : My guess is that this is a temporary solution at best, Brian. It’s sold to people like you — with 240,000 miles on an old beater and nothing to

lose. And, now that you’ve invested in the stuff, you W ANT it to work, and you might even think you notice improvement where there is none. RAY: But as I said, we have no scientific evidence either way on the magic pellets. So write to us every 60 miles and let us know if they’re still working.

Dear Cecil, In the past I have heard tell that you should never pee in the Amazon River lest a certain fish swim upstream into your penis and lock its fins in place in your urethra. O f course I always dismissed this as a tall tale spread by the natives to scare tourists. However, I read recently in the newspaper about the candiru fish, which allegedly does just this. Please gimme the straight poop. — Chase Kimball, via the Internet

Can’t blame you for your skepticism — this is one of those stories you want desperately not to believe. Here’s a description from a 1973 article in Urology by John Herman:

“One of the strangest [stories from the Amazon con cerned] a fish that was urinophilic and could swim up the urethra or into the vagina of the unwary native who urinat ed while bathing in the Amazon. It was said that this fish, known as candiru [in Brazil; as carnero in Spanish-speaking countries], was long, thin and capable of forcing its way into the body’s passageways following the trail of urine. Once inside it would eat away the mucous membranes and tissues until hemorrhage would kill it or the host. It was also said that even if one caught the fish by the tail, once in the urethra it could not be pulled out because it would spread itself like an umbrella. Indeed, rumors had it that penectomy was preferred to the misery and pain associated with leaving the fish in the urethra!” One imagines that this column’s male readership is now crossing its legs en masse. Herman’s article is titled, “Candiru: Urinophilic Catfish, Its Gift to Urology,” which doesn’t seem like the world’s most sensitive take on the subject. However, the author refers not to the financial opportunities for urolo gists but to an anti-candiru folk remedy useful in treating bladder and kidney problems. More on this below. Are stories about the candiru true? Although many mentions of the candiru can be found on-line and in pop ular books and magazines, scientific accounts of the fish and its unfortunate habits are old and suspiciously few. Most of what we know comes from the 1930 book The Candiru, by Dr. Eugene W. Gudger of the American Museum of Natural History, plus a couple additional arti cles published in the ’40s. All sources insist that the incred ible story is true, but for evidence they rely mostly on vague second- or third-hand reports from missionaries, doctors, natives and the like. Even the doctors’ accounts tend to lack persuasive detail, although one article (Lins, Journal o f Urology, 1945) claims a U.S. Navy surgeon named Charles Ammerman operated on three candiru vic tims, in one case slicing into the bladder to extract the fish. Whatever the truth may be, there’s little doubt that the candiru, formally known as Vandellia cirrhosa, is capable of attacking humans in the manner described. A type of cat fish, the candiru is known to lodge in the gill cavities of

O F F N E X T V I S IT 4 -

larger fish, where it subsists by sucking the blood of its host. Specimens average three inches in length and a quar ter-inch in diameter. A fast, powerful swimmer, the fish is smooth and slimy, with sharp teeth and backward-pointing spines on its gill covers that make it virtually impossible to remove. Still, it’s difficult to imagine how even the most agile of fishes could squirm into someone’s penis during a brief dip in the water, and in fact one account says women are much more likely to be candiru victims due to the greater dimensions of the relevant aperture. One suggestive bit of evidence is a folk remedy used by Amazon natives, namely the green fruit of the jagua tree, Genipa americana L. The juice of this fruit is brewed into a tea and drunk hot, supposedly causing the skeleton of the fish to dissolve and resulting in its expulsion from the vic tim within a couple hours. Early observers scoffed at the effectiveness of this concoction, but in 1945 urologist Eugenio Lins reported that a synthetic version of the brew had dissolved bladder “incrustations” in a dozen patients and suggested that it might do the same for kidney stones. Some elements of the candiru legend are clearly exag gerated. There are no confirmed reports of deaths or penectomies — several cases of the latter are thought to have run afoul of piranha. Its uncertain whether the can diru is actually “urinophilic,” and as far as I know, no one seriously maintains that it can swim out of the water and up a urine stream. Just the same, next time my yacht cruis es down the Amazon, I ain’t peeing over the side. Lest you think the candiru is all bad news, one vision ary has proposed them, apparently seriously, as a key prong in a “fish-based security system” for the South Pacific — see www.spc.org.nc/coastfish/Reports/misc/wp99/candiru.htm. You dig a moat around your house, see, and stock it with candiru, piranha and electric eels. “Should the house breaker fortuitously not be attacked by the electric eels or the piranha, then there is a good chance that he will suffer the invasive penetration of the candiru into the urethra.” Is that brilliant or what? I mean, okay, you might lose a few pets or Small children, but at least your silverware will be safe. ® — CECIL ADAMS
