Pubs in Ireland, after which we are patterned, hold a most venerable place in society, serving in many cases as the center of a community's social life. While our vision for Ri Ra certainly includes premium draft beers, fine wines and spirits, it is also very much about families, conversation, good food and creating an ambiance and environment comfortable for all. Regarding increases in cited intoxicated individuals and DWIs, this may be indicative of the successful efforts of Vermont State Liquor Control and the outstanding work the Burlington Police Department has done to effectively control an existing situation, rather than a growing problem.

I'd probably go with "God is love." But what I'd really like to say is: "A whip for the horse, a halter for the donkey and a rod for the back of fools." That's from the Bible, Proverbs 26:3. — Dan Jacobs YMCA Burlington

when I say that establishing and maintaining an environment of responsible consumption, offering our patrons safe, comfortable surroundings, and effectively eliminating the potential for underage service rest high on our mutual list of priorities. As far as the interest of Rl Ra providing our patrons with an "on the park" DINING experience, I feel that the precedent has already been set concerning the private use of public property for profit, i.e., Church Street Marketplace. This is a perfect example of allowing private enterprise to utilize public property in such a way that not only contributes to the collective bottom line, but also substantially enhances the ambiance and significantly contributes to the safety of the area. The aforementioned article referred to the possibility of taking this issue to the voters. I firmly believe that once the public truly understands this proposal for what it is, an opportunity for the general populace to enjoy a DINING experience in a limited area

Litigation Nation Terrence Marche, 24, who admitted trying to rob a Philadelphia bank, filed a $25 million lawsuit against the police officer who thwarted his robbery by shooting him in the face. Marche, who is serving a 15year, eight-month sentence in federal prison, said he doesn't object to getting shot once by Officer Richard Paraschak, who happened to be in the bank when Marche drew his weapon and told everybody to get on the floor. He insisted, however, that it wasn't necessary for Paraschak to shoot him a second time.

Careful What You Wish For Retired engineer Nedjelko Juretic, 66, of Vancouver insisted on having a virgin bride, so he went to Honduras to find a woman who had never had sex. After meeting Brenda Ruiz, 23, Juretic brought her home. The couple lived together for several months without any sexual contact, then married. After the wedding, the bride refused to let her husband touch her. Six months later, Juretic divorced her. The British Columbia Court of Appeal ruled that Juretic must pay her $1,250 a month while she learns English and trains to become a nurse or nurse's aide.

There Goes the Neighborhood

Liebaert put down a deposit on a five-bedroom house in a subdivision near Bakersfield, California, they were meeting with representatives of developer Burlington Homes to discuss color schemes and flooring choices when he casually mentioned his law practice. The next day, the developer canceled the couple's contract, informing them that it doesn't sell to lawyers because they are more likely than non-lawyers to threaten legal action, thus driving up the cost of its homes. Lawyer Liebaert promptly sued. • When authorities offered to buy out the 1700 residents of Minor Lane Heights, Kentucky, to make way for the expansion of Louisville International Airport, the homeowners agreed to accept only if they could all move together. The Federal Aviation Administration and the airport contributed $20 million to buy 287 acres of farmland and hire five home builders to create Heritage Creek, 10 miles southeast of Minor Lane Heights. "For a lot of people, noise wasn't the biggest problem," city councilor Carole Cantrall told the New York Times. "The major problem was living in limbo, losing their house and losing their neighbors. Now, they're thrilled. They get to keep everything that's important to them, plus they have a new home." Two years ago, Arthur Higgins

bought all seven houses in Teterboro, New Jersey, and announced he was doubling his tenants' rent. The Teterboro Borough Council, made up of his new tenants, responded by enacting a rent control ordinance. When Higgins tried to evict Mayor Peter Watts and others who defied him, the council condemned the seven houses and tried to seize them through eminent domain. Higgins challenged the condemnation order in U.S. District Court. Judge Nicholas Politan ruled that a state court would have to settle the matter, but he noted, "This is the fastest I've ever seen any municipal body act in the history of mankind except for Hitler when he took over in World War II." • The legal battle, which Bergen County Chief Judge Sybil R. Moses will decide in October, has cost the borough $250,000 in legal fees. Despite having just 14 residents, almost all of whom hold municipal or borough jobs, the square-mile borough collects more than $2.48 million in municipal taxes from local businesses, industries and a general aviation airport. Although Higgins' lawyers have tried to prove that the tenants' resistance is an attempt by the mayor to retain political control over the borough, Watts insisted, "This is a fight for our right to exist." * Students and teachers arriving

for classes at Sophakama High School in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in March discovered that the entire school had been stolen. "I couldn't believe my eyes," principal Nkululeko Klass said, noting that thieves took 11 prefabricated classroom buildings and the security fence that surrounded them. Johannesburg's Mail & Guardian newspaper reported that within a day, parts of the school began turning up in the community, where jobless and poverty-stricken families flooding the city from rural areas have created a hot market for building materials.

Heads Up, Brandi Chastain A battery-powered bra available by the end of the year can enlarge breasts without surgery, implants or adverse risks to a woman's health, according to a study by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Two plastic domes connected by tiny tubes to a small power pack are held in place under a sports-type bra. When activated, the device vacuums air out of the domes, sucking the breasts forward and actually causing the breast tissue to grow. In the study, the 15 women who tested the device for 10 weeks reported an average 55

percent increase in breast volume. • Japanese underwear maker Triumph International recently unveiled its "Armageddon Bra." Made of the same material as NASA space suits, the undergarment has a sensor in the strap that alerts the wearer if it detects objects falling from the sky.

Attention Shoppers The French department store Printemps has hired personnel shoppers who wear in-line skates and carry a mini-computer and digital camera. When a client calls asking for help making a selection, the "Webcamer" skates to the appropriate section of the store, photographs the available merchandise, then send the pictures to the client's computer. • The Ontario Superior Court awarded $8,800 to Kim Blunt, who was at the checkout of the Real Canadian Superstore in Thunder Bay when a store pricechecker wearing Rollerblades and racing through the aisle ran over Blunts foot, causing her to fall and injure her back. Company officials told the court that the staff at the 110,000-square-foot store wear skates to "facilitate efficient performance.'

John. But Not Forgotten

s it over? Can I come out

now? Its Two Weeks Later. I still don't dare turn on the television, in case the screen dissolves instantly into another gooey replay of The Salute. O n July 17 at 8 a.m., I was in the Pittsburgh airport with three hours to kill. From my stool at Schlotzky's Deli, I saw the first bulletins about JFK Jr. s missing plane, heard that a flight . instructor had also been on board, was told that N B C would be bringing me uninterrupted coverage of a story it knew nothing about and realized we were done for. And I mean done for. With the death of John Jr., our national news organizations have reached a point of no return. If there was ever a more senseless and manipulative display of revolting sentimentality, mindless hero-worship, lake history, trumped-up urgency and pure hot air, I'd like to know when it was. At least Diana had some public duties to her credit. One thing is certain: The charade of "integrity" and "balanced reporting" is at an end. In the news industry, the deliberate confusion of politics and celebrity is now an established fact. It's a fitting tribute to a man whose "political" magazine, George, was just another forum for celebrities to dress up in. Before you accuse me of having no pity, don't. I've never heard a bad word or held a nasty thought about "America's Prince." True, I once sat next to a naked John Jr. at a sauna in London. From that perspective, my grief is as great as anyone's outside the immediate circle. Should I go on TV? "Well, Connie, John and I had only one moment together, but it was a very beautiful experience. I think John, butt-naked, sends an inspiring message to all Americans." Maybe I could sell the story to the tabs: "NAKED JFK JR. T O L D S H O C K E D REPORTER IN STEAMBATH: 'HOT, H U H ? ' " My only other brush with The Glory That Was Camelot came one night in New York, when Caroline Kennedy and her husband sat at a table next to mine at the old Adam's Rib. Caroline

kept craning her neck to see what I was eating. Such naturalness! Such risk-taking! Such strength in the face of adversity! How do they do it, Peter? "Their faith holds them together, Connie. They also have a lot of money." I don't think Caroline would mind if I made a little

horses, wore a Beatles haircut, "found himself" in India, chipped his ankle once, flunked his bar exams twice, may or may not have planned to go into politics, or dreamed of being an actor, or wanted to marry Daryl Hannah, but whose "lovemaking skills," in any case, were "too straight" for Madonna. And so much has happened since then! I opened my review of Leigh's book with the ' words: "John F. Kennedy, Jr. has never done anything in his life to deserve a biography. He has ^ X ^ r certainly done nothing to deserve this biography, and I hope if he reads it he'll be laughing his handsome head off." It was the 30th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, and I wondered if it wasn't tasteless to make jokes about heads coming off at a time like that. O n the other hand, it wasn't my fault. Prince Charming contained some of the funniest lines I've ever read:

slobbering unle she dies in athtub like hristina Onassis hay out of this. She and the Bessettes are the only ones I really feel sorry for. My favorite moment of the recent derangement was a split-second clip of Caroline last year on CBS, when she'd been asked how difficult it was to try to live a somewhat normal life in this constant glaring fishbowl! "It actually is not that difficult for me," Caroline replied. "I mean, I do make an effort to do so." What? CUT!! As USA Today put it: "It's hard to know what the principals are thinking or feeling at such times, because the Kennedys seem to regard death and misfortune as things to be endured and transcended." Oh. Six years ago, I reviewed a book about JFK Jr. called Prince Charming, by Wendy Leigh, a British journalist and "royal biographer" who's been much in evidence lately as a talking head. (Leigh has recently published a biography of Prince Edward under the title Royal Enigma, which will give you some idea of how she approaches her material.) From Leigh's book, I learned all kinds of things I hadn't known about JohnJohn — "the handsome hunk," the kid who slid down the banisters at the White House, eluded his Secret Service agents in Central Park, was allergic to

"Caroline and John raced around the living room, unaware of Joe's advanced paralysis." "Amid squeals of delight, John unpacked his machine gun, gleefully firing it all over the house."

1 m going to get you, John,' [Bobby] cried, tickling the boy until he wet his pants from excitement." Which is what we'd all like to have done, right? Even the pundits are beginning to say it: If John Jr. had been dull and dweeby, if he hadn't been "The Sexiest Man Alive," his plane could have gone down twice and the British Open would still have been broadcast as scheduled, without interruption.

Two federal cases of food fraud expose the sour side of Vermont's sweetest industry

BY JOHN DILLON

ome people still think Roger Ames should never have gone to jail.

The "file" that contains his indictment in federil court also holds a wad of letters from associates and neighbors who describe him as a pillar of the community, i former head of the local chamber of commerce who :oached school teams and volunteered to lead local theater groups in his hometown of Newport. The letter writers begged the judge for mercy. Keep \ m e s out of prison, they said. He's suffered enough. Think of his poor family. "A prison setting for this man in my estimation would serve a zero degree of value," wrote the Rev. George Paulin }f St. Vincent de Paul's Church in North Troy — a friend :>f Ames and board member of the North Country Concert Association. But one letter in the file tells a different story. It hints it the corruption that brought down Vermont's biggest naple syrup business and stained the wholesome reputa:ion of the states signature industry. "Our losses of over £7.5 million are due directly to his devious actions,'' the etter reads. The writer is Reginald Muir, a Vermonter now living n southern California who blew the whistle on the biggest : ood fraud case in Vermont's history. Muir's years of dogged detective work — sometimes against the wishes of Dthers in the maple industry — caught the attention of ederal investigators and led to Ames' prosecution and sen:encing last year. Ames, 56, is serving a two-year federal prison sentence : or fraud and is now cooperating with federal investigators n a second case involving fake maple. A grand jury in \pril charged Lyman Jenkins of Jericho — Ames' former business associate — with bank fraud, mail fraud and wire r raud in an alleged international multimillion-dollar ;cheme to sell maple-flavored brown sugar granules as a )ure maple product. The two court cases show the sour side of Vermont's ;weetest industry. Maple syrup may be the distilled essence >f Vermont: Its delicious, labor intensive and pricey. Yet ast-buck schemes have tainted the trade for at least 100 'ears. In the early part of the century, the adulteration of >ure syrup with cheap cane or beet sugar was widespread, iccording to state records. The first state law establishing tandards for purity was passed in 1900 and carried a fine >f up to $200 for violators. "None of this is new. Fraud is fraud," says Bruce vlartell, a veteran maple expert with the state Department >f Agriculture, Food and Markets who investigated both Vmes and Jenkins. "We haven't re-created integrity." The modern frauds are variations on a time-honored heme. As scams go, they aren't particularly ingenious: Just

substitute an inferior product and sell it for the price of the real thing. The profits are enormous. Real maple syrup costs around $2 a pound wholesale; beet sugar costs about 30 cents a pound, according to Muir. Federal prosecutors believe that Ames' scheme cost honest maple dealers at least $2.5 million. Muir puts the figure much higher, and estimates that Ames made $70 million in profits over 10 years from international sales alone.

merican Maple Products in Newport, the business Ames took over from his father-in-law, is gone now; its warehouse burned down, and the company that once employed 60 people was foreclosed upon several years ago. But in the early 1990s, American Maple was the state's largest syrup wholesaler, with a venerable reputation that stretched back to the early days of commercial maple sugar production. Ames' father-in-law, Edward Doubleday, had acquired American Maple Products from his own father-in-law, who in turn worked for a company that traced its corporate lineage back to George Cary, a maple entrepreneur who made his fortune at the turn of the century by marketing Vermont maple syrup as flavoring for chewing tobacco. American Maple was no backyard operation. Ames sold 357,353 gallons of syrup in 1992, worth more than $10 million at a price of $30 a gallon, according to state records. Some 321,000 gallons came from outside Vermont, primarily Canada. At least that's what Ames told the state. Former employees later told the FBI and federal prosecutors that Ames ran a Jekyll and Hyde company, one that packed pure maple products by day and at night secretly cut the syrup with beet sugar. "Outside of regular business hours, defendant Roger Ames and American Maple employees working at Ames' direction mixed the beet sugar with water and food coloring to create syrup that appeared to be maple syrup," the government charged. Until a few years ago, most people in the industry believed that beet sugar could not be detected if it was used to dilute maple syrup. Corn syrup and cane sugar could be measured relatively easily through conventional laboratory analysis. But using beet sugar — which has the same chemical structure as maple — was thought to be a virtually foolproof adulteration method. Reg Muir, the man who brought down Roger Ames, spent years proving the conventional wisdom was wrong. Muir's quest, which left him broke but vindicated, eventually helped introduce a sophisticated testing technique that is now used by the maple industry throughout the United States and Canada.

uir was always a bit of a maple fanatic. While working at IBM in the 1960s, he tapped maple trees on Maple Avenue in Essex Junction and sold the syrup from a roadside stand. In 1973 he wrote a maple syrup cookbook and asked George Aiken, Vermont's former senator and governor, to write the foreword. "Our state has for nearly two centuries been the largest producer of all the states and has set the standard of quality for maple syrup the world over," Aiken wrote. Muir made maple his full-time profession in the mid1970s when he moved from Vermont to California to sell syrup wholesale. As Muir tells the story, Aiken was his inspiration for the new business. Aiken had recently retired from his long U.S. Senate career and attended a 1974 maple festival Ames helped promote in Burlington's City Hall Park. As the two walked across the park, Aiken drew Muir aside and suggested that he take his business to the national stage. "He said, 'Reg, you ought to go to California with this,'" Muir recalls. "Aiken told me it would be a great place to sell syrup." Muir was armed with more than the retired senator's blessing. He based his business plan in part on a national marketing survey — paid for with federal funding Aiken had obtained — which showed strong demand around the country for maple syrup. Muir eventually sold syrup wholesale in 22 states, to health food stores, supermarkets and in Japan. Price Club, the predecessor of the CostCo warehouse store chain, was one of Muir's biggest buyers. In the mid-1980s, however, Muir discovered he had new competition. "We were doing really well, then Ames went down to San Diego and he sold syrup for about half of what we were selling it for," Muir remembers. "So the people at Price Club were very upset with me. They said, 'Reg, your prices are too high.'" Muir was immediately suspicious. "I knew that nobody could sell for half my price," he says. "We knew they were doing something to the syrup, but the lab tests would not show it." Muir, now 72, is a loquacious man with an impressive memory for dates, places and personalities. He's also stubborn, and when he suspected Ames of fraud, he refused to accept that he could not prove his case. Muir learned at a food-science seminar that a new analytic technique developed to detect wine fermented with cane sugar had also been used successfully to ferret out beet sugar in supposedly pure fruit juices. The testing method, perfected by Eurofins Isotopique Laboratories in France, used nuclear magnetic resonance equipment to examine the isotopic signature of particular plant sugars.

wwm

The process is based on the fact that rainfall in different regions of the world contains varying amounts of isotopes of the element deuterium. Since rainwater is absorbed by plants, the test could be used to determine where a product was grown. Muir and Eurofins scientists were confident the isotope analysis could be used to discover fake maple syrup. Muir began compiling a database of hundreds of samples from syrup-producing regions of the United States and Canada to compare with samples of product sold by American Maple and other companies that were stocked on store shelves and sold in catalogs around the country. The investigation took years and eventually cost him close to $500,000, Muir says. When he had the Eurofins results in hand, he hired a lawyer and sued American Maple and Roger Ames in U.S. District Court in Burlington. "Eurofins determined to a statistical certainty exceeding 99 percent that all but one of the samples from American Maple Products were contaminated with significant levels of beet syrup ranging from 50 percent to 70 percent of the total volume of each container," the suit said. Muir charged that the fraud destroyed his California wholesale business. As Muir was watching his sales slip, American Maple was landing more and more customers, including L.L. Bean, Cumberland Farms, Hickory Farms, Wal-Mart, Marriott Corp. and a host of food wholesalers. With his company on the verge of bankruptcy, Muir eventually ran out of money, and his lawyer, Ted Hobson of Middlesex, was forced to drop the case. But Hobson — a former assistant attorney general who used to represent the state Agriculture Department — had also turned his evidence over to the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys Office. Ames was indicted in 1996 and pleaded guilty a year later.

Those thespian skills may have come in handy when he agreed to cooperate with federal investigators in 1994. Ironically, prosecutors had asked Ames to participate in an undercover meeting with another maple businessman they suspected was selling bogus products, according to court records. But despite Ames' assistance, federal investigators did not dig up enough evidence to file charges, the records show. Investigators got their break two years later when a Charlotte woman sued Lyman Jenkins, who was a business associate of Ames, for fraud and breach of contract. Jenkins, 52, is a Jericho chemist who had previously worked for the U.S. Forest Service laboratory in South Burlington, where he helped develop a process to make powdered maple sugar. In 1994, Joan Savoy of Charlotte

The chemist turned law student did not return calls for comment. "My client strongly maintains his innocence," says his attorney, Mark Kaplan. Ames and Jenkins knew each other well and often worked together, court records show. Ames was a director of Jenkins' company for several years, and the two met several times a month, according to 1995 deposition from the former office manager at American Maple. Jenkins "is a very intelligent man," says the office manager, Faye Perkins. "My personal opinion is no common sense, but super intelligence. . . Mr. Jenkins would come up* like, five or six times in a month and make granules for himself and for American Maple." While Ames dealt in bulk liquid syrup, Jenkins special-

Former employees later told the FBI and federal

prosecutors that Ames ran a Jekyll and Hyde company, one that packed pure maple products by day and at night secretly cut the syrup with beet sugar.

Ames "was clearly the Mr. Big when it came to the adulteration of maple syrup," Hobson says. "Without the Eurofins test, he'd still be in business today." Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Van De Graaf argued last year against leniency in the sentencing. "This case is simply too serious for a probationary sentence," he told the court. "Ames engineered a long-term, wide-ranging scheme to defraud. There are few cases in this district where a conservative estimate of loss is over $2.5 million."

mes loved theater. He was well-known in Newport for his skill in producing Broadway musicals for a local stage company. Hobson recalls that Ames was so preoccupied with his theater work that he asked not to be served with the civil fraud complaint while he was staging the musical Annie.

and her associate, W. Thomas Anderson, bought a company from Jenkins that sold organic specialty foods made with supposedly pure maple sugar. Jenkins told Savoy that he would continue to supply the company with the maple product, saying he had a special business relationship with a New Hampshire supplier and could obtain the sweetener at discount prices, according to the lawsuit. In August 1996, Savoy sent a sample of the "maple" product to a laboratory for testing. The results were clear: "These data indicate the two samples contain little if any maple sugar," the lab reported. Savoy contacted Martell at the state Agriculture Department, who launched an investigation. The state filed charges in April 1998, and a federal grand jury handed up a criminal indictment a year later. "Apparently what he had really done was make brown sugar that could taste like maple powder so well that it could fool the experts," says John Franco, Savoy's lawyer. Jenkins has pleaded not guilty to the federal fraud charges and is awaiting trial. In the meantime, he's learning about legal issues both in court and in the classroom as he studies for a law degree at Vermont Law School. Law school spokesman Peter Miller says the indictment would not change Jenkins' status at the school, although if he is convicted "it would be something" the school "would have to consider at that point."

ized in the dehydrated side of the business. Yet he was relatively unknown in the state s maple fraternity until news of his indictment hit the papers. That may be because — as the state and federal prosecutors allege — virtually all of Jenkins' sweetener came not from maple trees but from a Domino Sugar factory in New York. When state investigators searched Jenkins' office in 1997, they found records indicating he had sold more than 200,000 pounds of "maple sugar" granules between 1994 and 1996. During the same time period, he had purchased over 200,000 pounds of brown sugar, and his records "indicate only relatively small purchases of genuine maple," the state's complaint reads. Business was brisk: From 1993 to early 1996, he recorded sales of $822,905 to customers in England, Japan and throughout the United States. "The sale of adulterated or mislabeled maple products was not a small aspect of Jenkins' business; rather, this practice permeated Jenkins' business," the state charges. One British customer become extremely ill as a result of Jenkins' alleged fraud, according to court records. Jacquie Broadway, a resident of Hampshire, England, is severely allergic to beet and cane sugar. She contacted Jenkins several years ago, explained her allergies to him,

and agreed to buy maple powder in bulk, according to court records. Jenkins sold her cane sugar, says attorney Franco, who represents both Broadway and Savoy in the suit against Jenkins. "He could have killed her. . . She became violently ill from using this stuff," he says. After Franco sued, Jenkins and his wife filed for bankruptcy. When questioned under oath during a bankruptcy deposition in 1997, Jenkins repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Franco was trying to probe the couples finances, including how they had spent $102,000 from the sale of a Maine home Carole Jenkins had inherited. After subpoenaing bank records, the lawyer learned that rather than pay off creditors, the couple had squandered some of the money on jewelry, clothes, computers and a lengthy vacation. Jenkins now faces a 21-count federal indictment, including charges that he defrauded the Howard Bank by obtaining a $60,000 loan based on allegedly fictitious purchase orders from a Japanese company.

Sticky Business

aple sugaring evokes quaint postcard images of steaming evaporators and Vermont's sugar woods in spring, not FBI agents combing bank records for fraud. Maple industry officials — already concerned about the public's reaction to recent stories about toxic plastic used in sap tubing and elevated lead levels in syrup — don't like to dwell on the criminal element.

Reg Muir is still bitter about what he describes as the see-noevil attitude of others in the business. Muir says that when he started complaining about Ames, he was told the allegations would harm the industry's reputation. He says he was exposing the maple trade's dirty little secret — that the purity claimed on the label is sometimes a fiction. "Nobody helped us. Nobody did a damn thing," he says. "The point of the matter is they tried to whitewash this. . . I was told we were nuts, that [the complaints] would make the state of Vermont look bad." When he first raised questions about Ames' syrup with Price Club, Martell from the Agriculture Department went to California and examined some of the product. He pronounced it off-color but definitely genuine maple, Muir recalls. "That cleared the way for Ames to sell it," he says. State officials say they aggressively pursue allegations of adulteration. While records show maple inspectors lodged dozens of complaints against Ames' company throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, the complaints

were almost all for mislabeling syrup — calling it Grade A medium amber, for example, when in fact it was a less-expensive, darker grade. Despite suspicions — the state in 1985 did discover some maple butter sold by Ames contained up to 20 percent cane or corn sugar — inspectors never found widespread adulteration. "We didn't know specifically what was going on," Martell says. "We were concerned because of quality issues. . . and would check density, color, flavor and so forth."

adds, "Vermont is taking the lead for Canada and the whole maple-producing region on this." But Muir says regulators and many in the maple industry for years chose to ignore his warnings about fraud. "What did the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) do to help us? W h a t did the state of Vermont do to help us? Nothing. They hurt us," he says. Hobson, Muir's lawyer, says he was also surprised at the mute response from Muir's peers in the business. And there's another irony: At the same time that Hobson filed the 1994 lawsuit alleging Ames' massive fraud, Congress exempted Vermont maple products from federal food-purity laws because of the states supposedly high standards.

The state reviewed Ames' production records, watched the company pack syrup for shipment and staked out his plant at night in an attempt to discover the fraud, Martell explains. Officials also occasionally tested Ames' products for corn and cane sugar. "What we couldn't test for, because the technology wasn't present at the time, was for beet sugar," he says.

"To me, one of the most disappointing things was the reaction of the maple syrup industry," Hobson says. "They didn't want to hear it."

Maple production is a $25 million a year business in Vermont. David Marvin, president of maple-making Butternut Mountain Farm in Johnson says Ames and Jenkins took more than their fair share.

Larry Myott, a longtime maple specialist with the University of Vermont extension service, says Ames simply got greedy. "Roger hurt a lot of our folks," he says, "not just Reg Muir."

Jenkins in particular cut into Butternut's own sales of granulated maple products, Marvin says. I ve been doing a slow burn for the last year or so seeing our business grow dramatically and realizing how he hurt me for so long.''

Muir now has the satisfaction of being right about Ames. But he bears the disappointment of losing much of his business while he proved his case. At this stage of his life, he may never get it back.

Martell says the recent prosecutions should prove to the public that Vermont will aggressively protect its reputation for quality. Using "the sales we have now" as evidence, Martell suggests the industry has not been irrevocably tarnished" by the two cases. H e

He says he worried for some time about Ames going to jail. "It did bother me that Ames had a family and had children," he says. "I wrestled with that for a while. But when it came to the bottom line, he put us out of business. H e had victimized a lot of people." (7)

don't remember who said, "Luck is the residue of design." For some reason, golfer Fuzzy Zoeller comes to mind, but I don't think that's right (although he's definitely the most eloquent player on the PGA Senior tour). It could be that I coined that phrase and am too modest to admit it. But that doesn't seem right either — I'm immodest, for one thing, and I don't know jack about luck or design. Fortunately, neither has been vital to my career in journalism — until I got this assignment. It's Wednesday morning, and I'm on my way to the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino in Hogansburg, N.Y. You could say that I have a gambling problem — four of them, in fact: me, photographer Matthew Thorsen, and two friends who have chosen to take "personal" days off from work to drive three hours across the North Country to court Lady Luck on land abutting a notorious Superfund site. T h e real problem, though, is that none of us knows much about gambling. This may explain why expectations are running so high. "We collectively ignore the at-times bleak landscape rolling by — hard-bitten North Country towns, lawns littered with cars — but the moment the casino rises, Oz-like, from the roadside off Route 37, we're full of opinions. "I thought there'd be fountains," says one of my cohorts as we circle the building — a hodgepodge of southwestern design motifs in putty and purple hues.

We park among the 100 or so cars dispersed about the lot, a rare green license plate among the New Yorks, Ontarios and Quebecs in roughly equal proportion. I cram $100 in my front pocket, stick my ATM card deep within the car seat, and follow the others inside. O n e of our group — let's call him Responsibility — has volunteered to be the designated nongambler, and I'm glad for his company, since I might need someone to talk me out of going back to the car for . my ATM card. While he and I mill about the casino — imagine a burgundy-hued hotel lobby roughly the size of the Burlington International Airport — another of our party ponies up to the first Blackjack table in the front door. We'll call her Black Jacqueline, since she played a few hands aboard a cruise ship recently and is raring to "catch a dream," as the Akwesasne ads put it. I find a different Blackjack table with the same minimum bet — $5, the bare minimum, though other tables go up to a $25 minimum and $500 maximum — and demonstrate the fastest way to burn through portraits of Abraham Lincoln without a box of matches. Fearing an awfully short day at the gaming tables, I get up from a run of bad cards and do some "reporting." I pull into the Spirits lounge for a drink and learn that, contrary to the openbar ethos of many casinos, at Akwesasne beer is the only alcoholic beverage allowed on the gaming floor. A little later I drop by the Native Harvest buffet where, for no particular reason, I ask if there are any "native" dishes on the menu. T h e hostess explains, seemingly puzzled, that in addition to lunch and dinner, breakfast is served from m i d n i g h t to 10 a.m. — a bargain at $1.99N o offense to the chefs, but watching the sunrise through the window of a casino buffet is not a dream I care to catch.

"It looks more like a mall than Las Vegas," someone else chimes in. To be honest, the edifice is much grander than I was expecting. T h e artist's rendering on the casino Web site hadn't convinced me it wouldn't be made of corrugated tin. Its actually pretty fancy. Besides, the casino has I wander off into a limbo of only been open since April. And slot machines — all blinking we're a damn long way from Las . lights but n o r many , people, - Vegas: - - *

RULES OF THE GAME Cameras are off limits at Akwesasne Mohawk Casino. although I do spot one gambler from my brief Blackjack foray. As I recall, he'd left the table in a huff, out a pile of money. N o w he seems forlorn as he feeds the machine dollar bills and idly presses buttons on the beeping video terminal — yeah, they're all video now. Gone from the slot machines are the levers that once gave the "one-arm bandit" its name. Maybe today's casino owners are wise to carpal tunnel syndrome and the threat of lawsuits. But without the satisfying crank of the lever, or the spinning cherries, the slot machines seem only slightly more like gambling than "reporting." Now, I harbor no delusions about being a high roller, but I do get a little envious when Responsibility informs me that Black Jacqueline's luck has been running so hot that we may all fly home to Burlington in a charter jet. So I decide to get back into the action and start toward the nearest gaming table.

A m I about to be bounced, a la Martin Scorcese's Casino? To my relief, the dealer tidies my pile and hands me the dice once more. W h e n I throw another seven, I sense that some end to the game has come, though I'm not sure. I reach for my chips — tentatively, though, since the pit boss had described the pass line as being "like the Mafia. Once you go in, you can't come back

I won't try to explain the intricacies of craps, since I don't know what they are, but the one aspect of the game I can grasp — throwing the dice — I manage pretty well.

H e hands the dice to another player, and I keep walking. "Hey, come back," barks an elderly man in a canary-yellow golf shirt. "We need you." "It's just beginner's luck," I call back. "I have no idea what I'm doing." "That's your problem." While I'm hot, I decide to give Roulette a spin. T h e dealer

is alone at the table when I arrive, so I'm able to receive an extended orientation to the game. At the end of the clinic, I've figured out a much-simplified version that involves covering bets on modest odds — 2 to 1, 3 to 1, 4 to 1 max. T h e strategy seems to work, and I end up winning more bets than I lose.

Talk with faculty and staff from Academic Advising, Career Development and Financial Aid.

After a while, the dealer and I get to talking. Turns out she and her colleagues at Akwesasne got in on the ground floor of the operation, coming to work in April when the casino was desperately seeking employees. T h e upshot is that, according to this dealer, they avoid investing from $800 to $1000 to train as gaming table operators and dealers.

1 The craps game seems to move pretty fast, with one or two white-haired gents stopping the action periodically to have the dealer clarify something. Before I lay any bets, I get some instruction from the pit boss, a twentysomething guy in a blazer and tie. To my relief, the game he describes sounds much simpler than calculus. Unfortunately, I got a C in Algebra II. I change an Andrew Jackson and put the minimum down on something called the "pass line."

TRINITY COLLEGE OF VERMONT

O n the whole, the Akwesasne Mohawk casino seems to be playing its own brand of Roulette — or maybe it's Pai Gow poker or Baccarat, neither of which I can figure out. In the movies, if you build it, they will come. But in this region hard — and I mean hard— by the banks of the St. Lawrence, success will depend on filling the other two-thirds of the tables and parking spaces. T h e n again, it is a bright, sunny Wednesday.

W h i c h raises the question of what my cousin Mark is doing here. Neither of us is a stranger in these parts: Mark lives about an hour away, in Gouverneur; my parents both grew up in this part of the state; and I went to college nearby. But our chance meeting seems to call for explanations. I mean, Akwesasne's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. H o w does a guy wind up here mid-afternoon, mid-week, on one of the nicest days of the summer? Mark's inlaws are visiting from Arizona, he says, introducing me to a few guys who, I suppose, could be from Arizona. The in-laws are visiting, I repeat to myself. If I ever really get into gambling, I'm going

Captain Coggio keeps her cool on Lake Champlain BY RUTH HOROWITZ

In spite of her neat white shirt with its smart, gold-striped captain's epaulets, Coggio's hasty pony tail, faded baseball cap and multiple earrings don't immediately jive with the grey-templed, brass-buttoned, male image you might associate with the term "captain." But the 45-year-old Coggio is no pioneer. In 1887, Vergennes resident Philomene Ostiguy Daniels earned her Master of Steamboat Vessel distinction, becoming the world's first female captain. Old photographs show Daniels all dolled up in a big frilly hat and long dress and carrying a dainty parasol as she pilots boats called Water Lilly and Little Nellie on pleasure excursions between Vergennes and Westport, Port Henry and Isle LaMotte. Today, Dankl's great-greatgranddaughter, Jane Vincent, re-enacts these early cruises for the Middlebury-based Sheldon Museum. Female captains are still more the exception than the rule, but they're hardly unheard of. Seven years ago, when Coggio earned the Master of 100 Gross Tons and

hat's the best place to work during the stultifying dog days of August? Hermetically sealed inside a climate-controlled mall? Running the gondola on the windy peak of Mount Mansfield? Ask Lea Coggio, and she'll tell you it's her work space: out in the middle of the water, high up in the pilot house of a Lake Champlain ferry For the last four years, Coggio has been captain of the Governor George Aiken, a sturdy craft that carries tourists and commuters between Charlotte, Vermont, and Essex, New York. "This is my office," Coggio declares, taking in her surroundings with a satisfied sweep of the hand. "I'd rather be here on a hot, humid day than in some air-conditioned office." Her gesture encompasses a magnificent view: wide, cloud-dappled sky; smooth, silver lake; pale blue mountains; and, at the center of it all, a cozy room that's all view, with a double set of symmetrical controls set up back to back like Doctor Doolittle's two-headed pushmi-pullyu.

Ferry Tales

with a floating light to throw out in case someone goes overboard and a boarding ladder. So far, Coggio has only used the boarding ladder — to retrieve a buoy. Water seems to run in Coggios family. Her father served in the U.S. Navy, and two brothers, as well as one ex-brother-in-law, all work on long-distance ships. Coggio signed up with Lake Champlain Transportation in 1984, taking a job in the company's on-shore office in Burlington. From there she moved to the Caribbean, where she worked construction and did "bright work" — refinishing the teak trim — on a private, 40-foot boat. About 10 years ago, Coggio says, "I decided I never wanted to work in an office again." She returned to Vermont, started decking full-time and decided to become a captain. At 3:45, near the middle of the lake, a roll of thunder crosses the sky. Coggio checks her radar. The green blobs on the screen show the storm directly overhead, but small. Though weather isn't usually a major problem on Champlain, the lake is not entirely devoid of excitement. One day last summer, Coggio says, "it was raining so hard on the New York side, you couldn't see to the end of the ramp. Chairs and tables blew off the deck at the Old Dock Restaurant. The wind must have been at 70 to 80 knots." When she arrived on the Vermont side, Coggio found that several of the boats in Charlotte Harbor had been swamped, canoes had blown across the road, and one sailboat had "turtled," turning completely upsidedown, its mast snapped in two.

Continued from page 15 the key to the pilot house, she joined three other women already piloting ferries for the Lake Champlain Transportation Corporation. O n e round-trip with Coggio blows any remaining piloting pre-conceptions right out of the water. At 3:35 on a recent Thursday afternoon, the tourists' cars are lined up at the Charlotte Harbor. When the last mini-van has clattered onto the deck and the crew has raised the ramp, Captain Coggio shifts the black-knobbed throttle and sets the three-foot helm on course. The aft engine churns, and with a quick puff of exhaust, the 94-foot ferry pushes away from the slip. Once the boat is smoothly underway, Coggio enters the departure time and the number of vehicles aboard in the deck log. As of this run the Governor Aiken, which has been in commission since 1975, has transported 33,322 vehicles. Weighing in at 94 tons and measuring 44 feet across, with a six-and-a-half-foot draft, the craft under Coggio s command is one of the ferry company's smaller vessels. Before she can handle a larger boat, Coggio will have to earn her 500-ton credential — something she plans to accomplish the same way she earned her current certificate, by acquiring a year's experience on deck and passing a multi-part exam administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. Besides knowing their crafts, ferry captains need to know their craft, a field that includes predicting the weather, performing first aid and CPR, fighting fires, loading the boat for balance and judging another vessel's direction by decoding the position of its lights — red at the port side, green on starboard, and white at the masthead and stern. On the Governor Aiken, the side-lights are double, so port can be switched to starboard without turning the boat around. Coggio is also fluent in the system of sound signals used at sea, even though on her three-mile route from shore to shore, she only needs two of them: one prolonged blast every two minutes for fog, and five short blasts to indicate danger to, say, a small power boat that looks like it's not going to cede right of way. The Aiken is equipped with three orange rubber life rafts, a sling

"A ferry can take a big sea," Coggio attests, "but it's not very comfortable." Her most nauseous nautical experiences were far from home. In 1987, Coggio helped deliver another Lake Champlain ferry, the Mount Marcy, to Ketchikan, Alaska. The boat traveled down the Champlain Canal to Albany, chugged along the Hudson River, crossed under the Verrozano-Narrows Bridge and headed out into the Atlantic Ocean. Coggio was queasy as the ferry journeyed through the Bahamas and the Caribbean, nauseated as it navigated the Panama Canal, and still felt less than stellar as it worked its way up the Pacific Coast. At last, after 30 days at sea, Coggio bailed out in San Diego, and the boat completed its trip to Ketchikan without her. At precisely 4:00, the captain

ermont seemed like the right place, and 1973 the right time, to put my legs where my environmentalist mouth was and try to wean myself from petroleum. I was a recent emigre of California, where it was considered normal to drive 30,000 miles a year. To each his own. But with a pregnant wife and a job that paid a third less than what I had been earning, corners had to be cut. A used Raleigh Record bicycle with some miles on it seemed like a good investment. Having now clocked 12 miles a day for 26 years without burning a drop of gasoline, I can say that it was. Okay, "without burning a drop" is an exaggeration. During the harshest winter weather, I'm forced to take our aging Chevy Caprice along the beloved ride from Proctor to Rutland and back again along Route 3, though I don't like to admit it. A hardcore cyclist might sneer at a pansy who opts to abandon the game when the opponents are merely bitter cold and six inches of salty slush. But if the roads — and especially my personal space, the six-foot breakdown lane —

are clear of slush and the chances of precipitation less than 50 percent, I'll risk it. It's a rare year indeed that I don't manage at least a few days dueling with ski-racked Cherokees and Volvos. Extreme cold will deter me, though. When suiting up and stripping down takes longer than the actual ride, I say to hell with it. Riding at that temperature, it takes a few minutes for my eyes to stop watering, and until then I'm practically blind. Combine that with the ever-present possibility of being taken out by an SUV, and winter isn't the greatest cycling season. The upside is that while everyone else is busy scraping the frost off their windshields, I'm out of the parking lot and half a mile down the road. By early April things begin to liven up rapidly. One night will be silent, and the next, a lone peeper will sound off. He'll be joined by a few more the next night, and then more still, until the happy sounds of amphibian choruses arise from the low wet places along my route. The wood frogs, sounding like nocturnal ducks, join the chorus a week or two later. There aren't as many now as there were years ago. I

don't know why; maybe it's the new houses next to the wetlands. Or the hundreds of frogs flattened by the heavier traffic. But some remain, and though they aren't calling to me personally, I hear and smile. I especially like seeing the pair of hawks — or surely by now their progeny — that return each spring to the Dickenson farm. To see those magnificent raptors soaring out over Otter Creek lifts my spirit and gives me hope for rebirth and renewal. The spring erupts in birdsong. W h o could conceivably prefer a Disc Man to this symphony? Even the crows laugh as they soar and glide, occasionally mobbing one of the hawks. It makes me want to keep doing this forever. And why wouldn't I? At 80, after a double hip replacement, my father sold his car and went on a year-long bike tour of Europe. Once the weather has warmed, the biggest hazard is rain. While I do admit taking the car when the rain promises to be steady or cold, getting caught in a downpour can also give me a charge. I've gotten pretty good at predicting the weather half an

hour hence, so I seldom get soaked. W h e n these odd Vermont micro-monsoons catch me off-guard, I strut in to work, soaked and elated, with a change of clothes in my bag. Especially in the summer, a sudden downpour can be a welcome break from the heat, and fun to watch, too. Since I work the second shift, the ride home is 'round midnight. This isn't the problem it might seem. A halogen rechargeable light warns cars of my presence, and often compels them to turn off their high beams, giving me back my night vision. But I often switch off my headlight on the quiet of Route 3. There's more light outdoors at night than one might think. Driving in a car at night down a dark road gives the feeling of traveling in a tunnel, limited to only what the headlights illuminate. W h e n riding, on all but the darkest overcast nights, there is more than enough light to navigate the familiar road. And when the moon is out, the scenery is spectacular. I can see almost everything visible during the day, softened by that magical grayish-silver cast peculiar to moonlight. I can see cows, whitetails, coyotes. T h e air is clear. T h e sky is stunning and lovely in its eternal, seasonal dance punctuated by meteors, the aurora or, recently, sojourning comets. T h e Big Dipper wheels around Polaris, the faithful guide marks my northerly path home. For part of the year, Orion looks over my shoulder, the belt so clear I can pick it out in my small rearview mirror. O n rare occasions, the aurora provides a stunning, surging light show.

auto-worlds, miss. T h e freshets and rills stream towards the Big Otter Creek; the suck and gurgle of that stream, flooding with melted snow or heavy rain. Sometimes it's the wind keening in last year's dry grass, sometimes a nervous bird roused from its perch by a dream, a lonesome dog, a panicked deer fleeing through the brush. T h e night is magic, but even with the traffic, the day ride is fun. I'm still not bored by it, even after this long. T h e wildflowers flourish on the roadside in their sweet seasonal cycle of blossoms whose names I don't know, but whose beauty and perfume have graced my daily ride. I know Purple Loosestrife is an invasive, but it's pretty down there in the swale. Even the insects — when not in your teeth — are a part of the joy. Butterflies, woolly-bears, crickets — all add texture and lovely detail to the ride. Despite the drawbacks — headwinds, litter, traffic — I can't imagine locking myself back in my car and shutting out the sensations of the countryside. Drivers may have the comfort of headlights and speed — and, in this hot summer, air conditioning — but you miss the night, the night so beautiful it scares me. My imagination runs wild. I freak out, my kidneys throbbing with adrenaline, at a sound in the woods that could be... Ah, it's probably a spooked doe.

Continueafrom page 13 to have to remember that one. When I explain what brought me to Hogansburg, I'm suddenly reminded of Matthew, whom I haven't seen since we left the car. I know he was planning to take photographs of the casino, and I know, from a sign in the lobby, that he's not supposed to. Fearing the worst, I bid a hasty good-bye to my cousin, catch up with my other companions, and we head out to -

find our friend. Thankfully, Matthew's on his way back in just as we're exiting. He's still got all his teeth, but he tells us he nearly lost his camera the second time the bouncers threw him out. He did lose his film, and had some deliberations with the tribal police. We decide not to press our luck any further. In the car, I count my winnings. I'm up $35 — not as much as I'd thought, but more than I'd feared when we set out this morning. Black Jacqueline has netted $65, having plunged

to the depths of poverty and rebounded with a heroic, all-ornothing hand — and a Blackjack at that. That makes $100 for the car. Much as I'd like to think that skill had anything to do with it, I know that my part was just dumb luck. As the big winner suggests we stop somewhere for a nice dinner, and I imagine the road from Hogansburg home — the prison, roadside snackbars, decaying barns — I appreciate more fully just how deep my luck runs. I mean, I still have all my personal days left. ®

points her prow into the Essex slip and adjusts the throttle, moving the engine astern to slow the craft's forward motion. The rub-rail screeches painfully against the drought-dry wooden pilings. Five minutes later, Coggio switches over to the west-facing controls and heads back towards Vermont. The sky has grown noticeably darker, and the wind has shifted slightly to the east. Down below, most of the passengers are huddled inside their cars, fearing rain. Coggio doesn't mind a little weather, not even in winter, when she sometimes needs to shovel snow and chip ice off the deck. The cold on Lake Champlain is nothing next to what she experienced on a trip she took in 1998 as an Able-bodied Seaman (AB) aboard a cargo ship to Antarctica, bringing supplies to researchers at the McMurdo, Palmer and South Pole stations. Part of the duty involved taking out their garbage, including unnecessary equipment, kitchen and household trash, and human waste. Coggio and another crew member took turns steering the huge craft by hand while the captain gave commands indicating how many degrees to turn right and left to steer around the icebergs. "The radar was just polka-dotted with icebergs, and the ABs were watching for smaller icebergs the radar wasn't picking up," Coggio recalls. "There was this one iceberg that took three minutes to pass by, and it was taller than the ship." One day, somewhere in the 50th latitudes, Coggio says, "I

heard a ka-boom, and smeiled smoke." A crank case had exploded in the engine, and the ship was adrift. Overnight, the wind carried the craft 60 miles to the North -— a move in the right direction, but not a smooth one. "We were sitting abeam to the sea, rolling up and over the waves." Help eventually came from the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star, which towed the ship to New Zealand — a two-day trip that took two weeks and featured a constant, stomachchurning, pitching motion. Despite her queasy memories, Coggio yearns to return to the frozen continent. "It's very mountainous and very white. There was a fine line between land and sky," she remembers. Images of Antarctica are a soothing elixir on a hot summer day. But they haven't dulled Coggio's love for the local landscape. "Every day is different," she attests. As if to prove her point, at 4:15, a light rain starts up, gently pocking the water and peppering the pilot house windows. A scattering of white caps turn back in the wind. Over New York, a pale peach opening appears between two furry, purple clouds, while up ahead in Vermont, the Green Mountains look as soft and flat as grey tissue paper. Before her work day is done, Coggio will watch the sunset and see the night sky take shape. She won't witness aurora australis or the Southern Cross, as she did off Antarctica, but she swears the lake is the best spot for stargazing. Ferry passengers pay good money to see these sights. For the captain, they're just a perk in her daily routine. Nice work, if you can get it. ®

COMING

folking around:

Let the rowdies and money-grubbers have their Woodstock. For music fans who prefer the warm glow of folk tunes to the heat of a stage set on fire, the Champlain Valley Folk Festival is just the ticket. In fact, Acoustic Guitar magazine called the annual event one of "the friendliest and best-organized festivals in America." Organizers have added world spice to the three-day mix of familiar folk fare: the kora of Africa's Boubacai Diabate and Oumar, the pipa of China's W u M a n and the Venezuelan vocals of Irene Farrera. T h e Freight Hoppers also chug through from their region of South America — North Carolina. Friday, August 6. Gates open at 4p.m. $19. Saturday, August 7. Gates open at 10 a.m. $27.50 all day, $19 for the 5 p.m. concert. Sunday, August 8. Gates open at 9 a.m, $19. Pine Grove, Redstone Campus, UVM, Burlington, 4p.m. $19. Info, 800-769-9176.

If those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it, then August 6, 1945 is definitely a day to remember. That's the thinking behind events marking the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Japan, at the fiery close of World War II. At a Burlington vigil, A-bomb victims are remembered in silence, while in Montpelier gatherers speak out against nuclear weapons. A third event features a lecture by Boston University Professor Kazue Campbell — who was a 14-year-old girl on the day of wreckoning — and a showing of the documentary Film Hiroshima: Why the Bomb Was Dropped.

You don't want to skip class if you're in the MFA program in Visual Art at Vermont College, since students are only on-campus twice a year — for nine days at a stretch. But that time is quality time, say administrators. At this summer's residency, non-students are also invited to learn a thing or two at public lectures with three artists. Chicago-based performance artist Ellen Rothenberg talks about the potential in offbeat exhibition spaces, while D u t c h m a n Joost Van Haaften explores the aesthetics of art and architecture in his nation's public works. Aussie art critic Frazer Ward ties the two together with a talk about public and private art. Rothenberg, Sunday, August 8. Van Haaften, Tuesday, August 10. Noble Lounge, 8p.m. Ward, Friday; August 13. College Hall Chapel, 5:15p.m. Vermont College, Montpelier. Free. Info, 828-8614.

dramatic license:

These days, a midsummer night's dream is nearly impossible without air conditioning. So it's fitting that Champlain Arts Theatre C o m p a n y is m o u n t i n g Macbeth. Under the direction of Marc Estrin, the Bard's play on the psychological wages of political sin wrings m a x i m u m mayhem through a five-fold increase in witches, shadowy lighting effects and the dramatic music of Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. "I had to approach this with the sense that too many people have seen Macbeth too many times," says Estrin. "And offering it as summer entertainment just seemed really wrong for what the play was about." Estrin's aesthetic touches also include improvisation and puppets playing some key roles. What's more, " T h e whole play is a nightmare," he says. "I just hope it's not my nightmare." Tuesday-Thursday, August 10-12. Burlington City Hall Auditorium. Shelburne Farms. 8 p.m. $18.

It was about time. Ever since Jaws first hit theaters way back in 1975, filmmakers have tried to replicate the combination of factors which has made it one of the most thrilling, cathartic and memorable movies of all time. They've tried and tried. They've tried with killer whales and sea monsters. Most recently, they've tried with giant snakes and mutant crocodiles. And they've all failed. One of the reasons they've failed is the simple fact that nothing in the whole cold, dark ocean can hold a candle to the shark when it comes to calling up primal, pulse-pounding fear. Someone finally figured that out and made another movie pitting man against the proper beast. For anyone hoping to recapture the thrill of watching Jaws for the very first time, Deep Blue Sea was, so to speak, the great white hope. They'd brought in the sharks. If only they'd brought in Stdven Spielberg. Unfortunately, they brought in Renny Harlin. N o w here's a guy who's made massive, budget-busting flops on land and sea, wastes of time and money like The Long Kiss Goodnight, Cutthroat Island and perhaps the most critically savaged feature of the past decade, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. W h y anyone would have figured this was just the guy for this job beats me, but hiring this hoser wasn't the stupidest decision the film's ere-

ators made. They made two other moves that were every bit as bad. First, the story: They set it on board this honking, city-block-sized lab situated in the middle of the ocean. A handful of poorly drawn characters are thrown together when a super-rich tycoon (Samuel L. Jackson) decides to pay a visit to the deep sea research facility he's funded. Among those showing him around the place are a brawny loner who likes to ride sharks like rodeo broncs (Thomas Jane), a wisecracking cook (LL Cool J) and, of course, a nubile scientist (Saffron Burrows). The group is doing groundbreaking research on shark brains, research which could yield a cure for Alzheimer's if the team can just harvest a certain brain chemical in sufficient quantities (cue ominous music). Well, you know how these things go. You've got a medical breakthrough that will alter human history but you're on a tight deadline, so you decide to play God and screw around with your sharks' D N A in order to create giant beasts with giant brains capable of producing lots more of the chemical you desperately need. The downside, natch: Y O U CREATE M O N S T E R SMARTY SHARKS W I T H BRAINS T H E SIZE OF VOLKSWAGENS! The next thing you know, the station's crew and their special guest are cut off from the outside world and under attack by a trio of genetically screwed-with fish smarter than the average high school senior. The problem with this set-up, though, is that it's more suited to a haunted house story. It's just nowhere near as scary to watch people under attack by sharks in a towering steel skyscraper as it is in a rickety wooden boat. Half the horror in Jaws came from the audience's realization that their dilapidated fishing vessel was the only thing between its heroes and 35 feet of eating machine. We've all been on boats. We could relate. H o w many of us have hung out in a mid-ocean research station? The other big problem is the sharks themselves. They look fake. They move unrealistically. They suck. Unbelievably, Harlin managed to take two decades of digital advances and more millions than it required to make Spielberg's entire movie and somehow turn out a less convincing shark. And, if that's not dopey enough, they keep changing size all the time! In one scene a shark will be as long as a cabin cruiser. In the next a second later, it looks like a cartoon dolphin nipping at a fleeing character's heels. I won't even go into the differences in the quality of character development, direction or dialogue between this film and Jaws. W h y compare The Godfather to Johnny Dangerously? The point, after all, isn't that this is not nearly as good a film. O n e wouldn't expect it to be. All anyone sane had a right to expect from a $ 1 0 0 million Renny Harlin movie about angry big-brained sharks was a few cheesy laughs and a few cheap summer thrills. A good tongue-in-cheek romp through shlocky waters and some state-of-the-art monster fish. Deep Blue Sea doesn't just look bad next to Jaws. Harlin's latest looks ridiculous all by itself. (Z)

From Here Hop on over to Quebec for

a taste o f . . . Belgium? B Y JEANNE KELLER

here are beers, and then there are Belgian-style beers. O n e of the best breweries of this wine-like beer is Unibroue, located just north of Vermont in Chambly, Quebec, 2 0 miles east of Montreal. Chambly also hosts one of the only Belgian beer festivals in the Western world, Festibiere de Chambly, celebrated this year from September 3 to 6. For the fifth year, craft brewers from Quebec, Belgian abbeys and other European breweries will pour their hearts out in a delightful park setting adjacent to Fort Chambly, overlooking the beautiful Richelieu River. Vermont Pub and Brewery was the only representative from New England last year — tribute to its brewing skills.

Belgian-style beer is characterized by the unique yeasts used in its production, the second fermentation in the bottle and a lack of heat pasteurization and filtering. T h e beers are often made with the addition of spices and other natural flavorings, and fewer hops than the lagers and pilsners so popular in the States. The pinnacle of achievement is the Belgian "triple," the unbelievably complex, winey, strong, triple-fermented beers produced by Cistercian and Trappist monks in Belgian abbeys. And yes, they serve their beer at the festival wearing their brown, ropebelted robes. It's almost like receiving a sacrament. The festival grounds are filled with peaked, medieval-style tents, pennants flying. In addition to dozens of breweries and distributors, the tents shelter gastronomic offerings in keeping with the Belgian beer theme:

Belgian fries, steamed mussels, cheeses and sausages. This year, special pavilions will highlight the history of abbey beers in Belgium, specific regions — Brussels, the Monteregie region of Quebec, etc. — and "the best beers in the world." Many breweries will also feature their "September beers," brewed to honor Ceres, goddess of the grain harvest. Workshops on tasting, brewing and history add further flavor to this event. According to the Festibiere's Web site, beer is the most ancient drink in the world. Prior to the 20th century, the site claims, it was considered food. Clearly, these folks take their beer seriously. So to prepare for this year's Festibiere I went into training early, with a tour and tasting at the Unibroue brewery accompanied by two certified, black-belt beer judges, Robin Orr and Tom Ay res. Matthew, our gracious and bilingual host, welcomed us to Unibroue with a box of hairnets. Room by room, he led us through the five steps of the brewing process: production of the wort, or mash; fermentation; clarification; bottling; and bottle conditioning, or re-fermentation in the bottle. It's that last step, the addition of yeast and sugar and storage at 80 degrees prior to shipping, that distinguishes the Unibroue products from most other craft or micro-brews in North America. The brewery produces beers ST of great complexity, with natural carbonation, smooth finish and little bitterness. Oh, yes, and 5 to 9 m percent alcohol.

- T o m Ay res

As I had hoped, Matthew, Tom and Robin engaged in

some fascinating discussions about the art of brewing. For example, there are around 400 chemicals in beer that can affect taste, and yeast accounts for about half of them. Thus, by using special imported yeasts, Unibroue has a better chance of capturing the flavor of Old World beers. According to Tom, certain authentic Belgian beers called Lambics are brewed in open vats, drawing in whatever wild yeast happens to be floating by. There also ensued a fairly heated debate — not about hops but about ales versus lagers — during which Matthew admitted that two new products, "U" and "U2," were lagers aimed at the mass-market for beer. "I'm at loggerheads with lagers," said Robin, a devout home-brewer of ales. "Boring, bland and tasteless. There's no such thing as a good lager." "Robin's an ale snob," sniffed Tom. "What more can I say?" We were particularly interested in "Blanche du Chambly," Unibroue's most popular and award-winning blend. It is a "white beer," or "whitbier," an unhopped brew of wheat and barley, spiced with coriander and Curasao oranges. This is a worldclass beer. As Tom told us, "If I were going to drown in a vat of whitbier, I'd choose this one." Other Unibroue brews are flavored with anise, ginger and licorice wood. The Blanche ferments for seven to 10 days in vats, producing a 5 percent beer. Others, like the Trois Pistoles, ferment for three to four weeks, producing a dark and rich beer, fruity as port wine and almost as strong at 9 percent alcohol. Two of the beers, Fin du Monde (End of the World) and Nom de Dieu (God's Name), are triple-fermented, and aptly named. Unibroue uses a centrifuge instead of filtration after the first fermentation. The cold filtering used by mass-market breweries removes the dead yeast and a lot of the proteins. The centrifuge leaves the proteins behind, again adding to the complexity of the beer's flavor. Finally, fresh yeast and sugar are added as the beer is bottled, producing natural carbonation. The result is a creamier beverage with more aroma and a thicker, foamier head than massproduced beers — and the new "U" beers — that actually have carbon dioxide injected into the bottle. * V ,

The bottle conditioning lasts from 21 days for the pale and delicate Blanche to three weeks for that broad-shouldered Trois Pistoles. But Matthew noted that the amber and darker beers can

a great dinner, choosing from a distinctive menu featuring game such as quail and buffalo and fresh fish. All main courses were prepared with marinades or sauces featuring Unibroue beers.

Thev serve their beer at the festival wearing their brown, rone-belt[ J i l i i M i l l W robes. It's almost like receiving a sacrament be aged successfully for 12 years or more. Tom reminisced about a 20-year-old beer — Thomas Hardy's Ale — which tasted like a fine sherry. He has an excellent 1988 he's saving for his Millennium New Year's celebration. In the warmth of the conditioning room, we also discussed the wonderful names and beautiful artwork produced for the beer labels and boxes. Unibroue adopts names based on Quebec legends and history. Maudite, which means "damned," depicts the legend of woodcutters who made a pact with the devil to attend a party back home in the dead of winter. The label shows their canoe flying through a hellish-orange sky over the cathedral spires of Old Montreal. On to the tasting, which is held at the Unibroue-owned restaurant, Fourquet Fourchette, on the river and next to the Fort. Eight coasters were lined up in front of each of us, depicting the variety to be tasted. "Official beer tasters have to swallow," both Robin and Tom emphasized. "You can't spit it ou f like wine." Important beertaster-buds are located on the back of the tongue, and a full gulp is necessary to evaluate mouth feel. So, one by one, we knocked them back. Blanche, Gailliard (spicy, medieval style), Raftman (flavored with smoked whiskey malt), Maudite (a mahogany beauty and real crowd pleaser), Fin du Monde, Trois Pistoles and, for the infidels among us, the new lagers "U" and "U2."

The French onion soup, spiked with Raftman, was heavenly. Grilled fish, crusted with herbs and Trois Pistoles mustard, was moist and mouth-watering. The salad of fresh greens and chevre, with a Blanche du Chambly vinaigrette, was sharp and—, refreshing. Lip-smacking, in fact. The buffalo succotash, a blend of cubed bison, green beans and fresh corn, was very tasty, hearty and filling — but not recommended before piloting a canoe. ®

Till now, though, you've managed to partially resist this benevolent cabal; you have only a groggy sense of your unique purpose here on Earth. This is about to change, though. You'll soon feel such an overpowering longing for yaiu dormant talents that your inner genius can't possibly stay asleep. Read the essay at the top of this column to learn more.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): For years you've been half-seduced by the popular belief that you're little more than a product of your genetic makeup and social conditioning. But now you're primed to purge that BS so you can freely entertain the more complete truth: namely, that you are an immortal soul who chose a specific genetic makeup and social conditioning in order to carry out a signature assignment given you by God herself. What?! You' re unsure about the nature of that assignment?! Hint #1: Meditate on how to be of service to other people without sacrificing yourself. Hint #2: Read the essay at the top of this column.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You Librans are as filled with ravenous yearnings as any other sign, but you have a unique talent for portraying them as lovely and charming. How often have you used polite wit to cover up and tone down an unbearable hunger for love? I have no problem with your refinement, Libra, as long as it doesn't become a way for you to conceal your primal desires from yourself. This is especially crucial now. You desperately need to know

what you want more than anything else in the world. Read the essay at the top of this column for more information.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You came to Earth to accomplish a very precise mission. It may not be as glamorous as Bill Gates' or Mother Teresa's destinies, but it's nonetheless singular and necessary. Are you ready to get much more serious about answering this divine call? The stars say you are. For inspiration, read the essay at the top of this column, then meditate on these clues: 1) Your obsessions are holy; study them as if they were God's direct communications to you. 2) Honor your craving for endless transformation.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I firmly believe you have a guardian angel. Its job is not to protect you from all harm or bring you sentimental reassurances of your worth, but rather to kick your ass. Even when you lose sight of your life's purpose, this invisible ally shepherds it and schemes to bring it to your attention again. Are you ready for a close encounter? Any day now, you can expect major revelations from your guardian angel. Most likely they'll have to do with redeeming and harnessing your eternal restlessness. Read the essay at the top of this column to find out more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Having obscene amounts of money, power and status is just one kind of success. (And often a rather boring one at that.) Far more intriguing are the triumphs that come from outwitting one's own shadowy behavior and unconscious habits, and from dreaming up ingenious responses to life's ever-fresh stream of problems. To accomplish these sorts of victories,

ere's no greater asset than a robust imagination. And it's my Fondest wish, Capricorn, that fou devote the coming weeks to Cultivating this asset like crazy. Read the essay at the top of this column to understand why.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Have you been feeling tired upon awakening even though you've slept a good eight hours? It's because you've been very busy in your dreams. Night after night, you've been hard at work building a bridge to the remote sanctuary in your psyche where your higher self abides. Now your labors are about to be rewarded. Soon your mysterious helper will cross over to you, bearing crucial pieces of a puzzle that's always perplexed you. (Hint: You'll see how to nurture a passionate commitment to a cause that's bigger than your personal needs.) To learn more, read the essay at the top of this column.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The world loves you very much. All the forces of life are aligned to help you in becoming the beautiful curiosity you were born to be. Is it hard for you to accept that much blessing? If so, please do everything you can to make it easier. It's high time to finetune your receptivity so you can drink in more of the divine riches that are always flowing your way — and less of the hellish dross.

Dear Cecil, Having recently moved to Florida from Michigan, Eve become increasingly concerned about the effects of ultraviolet rays on my eyes. You see, I have had the same sunglasses for 10 years or so, which is no problem if the UVprotection is inherent in the glass. But it might be time for new glasses if the UV protection was just a coating. Ten years of wiping might have

removed it. Since the glasses are dark, my pupils must be enlarged and more vulnerable. Is the UVprotection on or in my glasses? Is it different for new sunglasses? Has the quality ofprotection changed over the years? And lastly, when cheap plastic sunglasses say they offer UVprotection, can they be trusted? Tell me, Cecil, how do I best protect my eyes in the Sunshine State? — Steve, via AOL Sorry, babe. You're in Florida now, home of Disney World, pink flamingos and Miami Beach. You'll be lucky if you don't go blind. As for your sunglasses, you should definitely get new ones. This has nothing to do with UV, but rather with the fact that your glasses, perhaps the most fashion-driven item in the average person's wardrobe, are 10 years old. Just a guess: Do you work in the math department? No matter. Assuming you don't want to spend two grand for gold frames a la Stevie Wonder, you can get shades that effectively block UV for maybe 10 to 40 bucks. (We've heard widely varying opinions, by the way, on whether protective coatings wear off, whether coatings 10 years ago were any good, etc. All the more reason to buy new.) You're right to worry about UV. Due (probably) to the thinning ozone layer, UV-related health problems are skyrocketing. Look at Australia. The country has three strikes against it: It's in the southern hemisphere, where the ozone layer is thinner; it gets a lot of strong sun because it's close to the equator; and its high-risk Caucasian population is outdoors a lot. As a result Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. Okay, we're talking about eye problems now, not skin cancer, but they're all related. Chances are we'll be seeing increasing rates of cataracts, retinal and corneal damage and other eye problems in years to come. Choosing the right sunglasses is critical. In fact, some experts think poor-quality shades will make matters worse — they don't block UV but do cause your pupils to dilate,

09/1/99 allowing more damaging rays to enter. That danger may be exaggerated, though. As other researchers point out, daytime light levels are so high that your pupils constrict even with sunglasses. Even good sunglasses don't mean your problems are over. Sunglasses can block UV from entering through the central part of your field of vision, but plenty of damaging rays can sneak in around the edges. Wraparound shades or glasses having side shields offer more, but not total, protection. One study found that, on average, sunglasses let in 3 percent of UV light when they're snug against the bridge of the nose, but 29 percent when they're six millimeters distant. Pushing up your glasses might look geeky, but it sure beats cataract surgery. Given the spotty protection offered by sunglasses, some experts say that if you're going outdoors for any length of time, your first line of defense should be a wide-brimmed hat; a baseball cap is okay, too, provided you wear the bill in front. Better yet, wear both hat and shades. One study of 900 Chesapeake Bay shellfish harvesters found that those who wore sunglasses and brimmed hats got cataracts only a third as often as those who didn't. Tests of sunglasses have found wide variations in their effectiveness against UV, regardless of cost, tint color or lens material. Ignore the sales hype and look for the following voluntary industry labels. "Cosmetic" sunglasses block 70 percent of the sun's most damaging rays, "general purpose shades block 95 percent, and "special purpose" glasses block 99 percent. "UV-400," another label you often see, supposedly means the sunglasses block 100 percent of UV. A lot of experts recommend glasses in the latter two categories, the special purpose in this case being that they may keep you from going blind. — CECIL ADAMS

Dear Lcla, During my regular evening rides alcng the bike path, I've met a great woman. We've shared several beautiful sunsets and satisfying conversations, and then gone cur separate ways. I know from cur conversations that she's single, and I've told her that I'm also available. I feel that we have real potential as a couple, but am not sure how to get us there. To complicate matters, she hasn't shown up at cur usual meeting place for some time. Do you think she might be trying to avoid me? How can I find her again? Burlington Biker Dear Biker, you may have already gotten your message across with this letter. If she continues to be a no-show, try the "I Spy" section of the personals. If that doesn't do it either, be grateful for those few glorious sun-' sets and get on with your life. Single doesn't necessarily mean available, and available doesn't necessarily mean interested. And if there's a next time, try getting her phone number — or at least her name. Love,
