    A destination place to eat is one of the criteria onmy general checklist for day trips. (We had a couple ofbackup ideas for Bennington.) Other musts are a rea-sonable driving distance; interesting cultural or outdoorattractions; and shopping opportunities (hardware stores

    and real estate offices dont count).Bennington has all these.For history, theres the Bennington Monument, a trib-

    ute to the Revolutionary War battle that was the begin-ning of British Gen. John Burgoynes downfall. The battleactually took place in Walloomsac, NY, (where theresa battlefield park) but Bennington had the wherewithaland the very visible knoll on which to build a 306-footstone spire in the years between 1877-1891.

    We went to the Bennington Museum, 75 Main St., tospend a fascinating hour-plus. The museums presenta-tion is traditional. Its collections are eclectic and fun.One comes away from the Grandma Moses exhibit, forexample, with a far greater appreciation of her artistry.As some critics now suggest, theres more to her workthan its primitivism.

    The museum has a large exhibit of pottery (for whichthe town was once famous, and, in fact, still boasts thefamed Bennington Pottery) and a room dedicated to theBattle of Bennington. Elsewhere, the museum keeps oneof North Americas earliest flags, the Bennington Flag, ina dark place, so light wont further fade its fragile hues.

    Theres one of the most chock-full exhibition roomsyou can imagine, the Church Gallery, which, accordingto the museum, reflects the collection it opened with in1928. Displayed are tools, medical utensils, paintings,

    wood stoves, telegraphy apparatus, dolls, toys, sculp-tures and a Brattleboro-made Estey pipe organ.

    Wood chips in a glass case are all thats left from theold Catamount Tavern, where one-time Salisbury resi-dent Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys plottedto take Fort Ticonderoga. A victualing document com-piled by the taverns owner, Stephen Fay, notes Allens

    As trout season approaches I get very fidgety andstart looking at bugs on my windshield to seewhats hatching.

    Seriously.

    That the insects are all small, dark and smushed meansnothing. Its the ritual that counts.

    The myth of fly-fishing is that it is a difficult and expen-sive sport, practiced by a relative handful ofelitist obses-sives who revel in the arcane and never catch anything.

    I know fishermen who fit the unflattering description,no question the kind of guy who strolls into the flyshop with a $1,000 bill stapled to his forehead and startsbabbling about the baetis hatch.

    But I know far more of the other kind the anglerswho have patiently worked at flicking a concoction ofhook and feather at a wary critter for years or decades.

    Patrick L. Sullivan finds that spring

    and the trout seasoncan banish lifes major headaches

    They can take one look at a stream and knowwhere the trout are.

    They can cast at right angles and from dense thicketswithout getting hung up.

    They carry one fly box, which always has the right

    flies.The best piece of fly-fishing advice I ever got was from

    John Nichols, author of The Milagro Beanfield War.We were in the Rio Grande Gorge, a poor mans GrandCanyon consisting of an 800-foot deep fissure in thehigh desert around Taos, N.M. The trails going into thisabyss are treacherous for the sure-footed sheep; theclumsy angler is in constant peril.

    And the river itself is large, deep, swift and forbidding.Its also full of trout.I asked Nichols what fly to use, expecting a complex and

    technical reply.

    He said, Well, I start with the little brown one, and ifthat doesnt work I switch to the little green one, and thenthe little yellow one . . .

    Its been my motto ever since.Spring and the start of fishing season dont mean I get all

    gooey about the wonders of nature. By all accounts I am aninsensitive clod who wouldnt know a wonder of nature ifone bit me in the fundament.

    I do get excited this time of year, though because onceI am in the fishing mode my brain disengages. All the thingsthat usually combine to give me a more or less permanentheadache are temporarily banished.

    Its just me and the rod and the fly, the water and thetrout.

    Afterward, of course, its the cold feet and the achingback. But theres always another trip to another river aroundthe corner.

    also be planted in cycle.Whether by seed or by starts,planting a new batch every

    three weeks or so will keep ahousehold in greens all sum-mer long.

    At the farm, Paley said, Weplant lettuce and arugula everytwo weeks into the summer,until it gets too hot and thenwe start up again and plantthrough the early fall.

    A friend has been known toharvest arugula as late as No-vember.A gardener might think that if

    you plant early, the harvest will

    come sooner, but Paley saysthat isnt necessarily so.

    If I plant my peas now, whathappens is the vines get sig-nificantly higher before theygo into flower, which is a goodthing. It is the heat and the

    daylight that produce the ow-ers that produce the fruit.

    The big concern is not snow.It is freezing temps. Its icy cold

    nights that can be a problem,so if the warm weather trickedyou into planting early, andwe get a deep freeze, throwsome sheets or plastic over theplants, to give them some pro-tection.

    In April and May, Paleylargely caters to the do-it-

    yourself gardener; selling all

    kinds of mulch, fertilizer andcompost plus the early springvegetables, owers and herbs.Renee Wilcox, Paleys Marketmanager said by June the rstof the area produce begins to

    roll in and the dairy cases willbe stocked with local, artisanalcheeses as well.

    Silamar Farm in Millerton,NY, wont open until the lastweekend in April, but soon af-ter, customers can look forwardto a little spring produce. Wen-dy Moody, the farms manager

    said they usually have aspara-

    gus around May 5 and maybeeven some rhubarb.

    Daisi Hill Farm, also in Mil-lerton, opens April 12 with afull line of annuals, perennials,hanging baskets, mixed con-

    tainers and vegetable starts.They will have available someof the warmer weather plantsfor those customers from thecity who want to get their to-matoes started on an urban roofgarden.

    Greg Ward at Wards Nurs-ery in Great Barrington says

    the biggest benet to the early

    warm weather means springcleanup could start earlier.

    Its allowed gardeners to getout and rake and mulch andedge their beds, things that youusually have to wait for the

    snow to melt, and for it to stopraining and for the ground todry up.

    The confusing part of theearly spring is that its broughton early bloom times, but werecommend that gardenersstay on the regular schedule.He doesnt advise planting the

    sooner than normal, whichis generally around Memo-

    rial Day. But Ward, like Paley,planted his peas in mid-Marchand the nursery has in stock afull line of cold-weather veg-etable starts plus all the earlyblooming perennials and, ofcourse, pansies.

    McEnroes in Millerton is just-

    ly famous for its tomatoes, (awarmer weather crop) so muchso that most of them are grownin greenhouses all year round.Ray McEnroe says they do growsome outdoors in the summer.The lack of real winter andwarmer-than-usual spring wontchange his planting schedule.

    I gure were subject to frost

    until the 20th of May. We dontneed to jump the gun, he

    said. He is concerned aboutthe possibility of more insectand blight damage. The winterwasnt cold enough to kill theseoff, but he said there really isntanything to be done except tobe vigilant.

    McEnroes will have to-

    mato plants (and other veg-etable starts) for sale by May 1.Though they dont recommendplanting until after the thirdweek of May; unless theyre ina cold frame or covered at therst sign of frost. McEnroes hasa large selection of heirloomtomatoes; a particular favorite

    is Cherokee Purple. p

    Spring means a change indiet.

    Regardless of thetemperature, once the clockbounces into daylight savingtime, it is important to startshifting your diet.

    Thats because the internalclock of our body is affectedby light. Our circadian rhythmoperates on a 24-hour cycle. Inthe winter when the light dims,

    our bodies are triggered to

    consume food faster and moreoften. In the spring, however,we want to modify our dietwhile maintaining its down-to-earth bulk. There is no betterway to tap into this terrain thanby eating beans.

    Beans are full of proteins thatcan be easily digested. Un-like meat proteins, beans are agentle soluble fiber that keepsthe intestine traffic moving.

    And beans take more energy to

    digest than sugar. The fiber inbeans creates a workload forthe body to muddle through sothat digesting beans actuallyburns calories.

    Beans also offer a stable levelof glycogen as opposed to asugar high, which is a skyrocketof energy and then a cavernousfall. Beans are on the low endof the sugar or glycemic scale.They offer a steady release of

    natural sweetener slowly dur-

    ing digestion. With a heartyhelping of beans in your regi-men, your body might not evenknow it is dieting to fit into thatswimsuit.

    Leptin, which is made in ourfat cells, has a big influence onour appetite. When the cell ismatched with high-fat friends,they make us want more andmore lard. Low-fat foods, onthe other hand, keep the leptin

    cells from shooting off starva-

    Andes Hruby says

    Ultimate Frisbee is a sure way to have fun

    and exercise on spring and summer after-noons.

    The sport is played like football, excepta frisbee is thrown around to teammates

    and theres no tackling. Just blocking.The goal of the game is to pass the Frisbee from team-

    mate to teammate in one of the end zones.Its a competitive sport, with players doing whatever it

    takes to win, but at the same time its fun, Winsted resi-dent Raymond Robillard says. You dont need to play itwith any referee. You can play it with an honor system. Ifyou go out of bounds you call yourself on it.

    Robillard is a teacher at The Gilbert School in Winsted,who also organizes local ultimate Frisbee games.

    Ive been playing for about ten years, Robillard said.I was back in college when I rst heard of the game.One of my friends called me and told me that she was

    playing ultimate Frisbee.I told her I didnt know how to play at all. She told me

    not to panic and that they would all teach me. After therst time I played, I was hooked.

    Robillard said he gets as much cardiovascular exercisethis way as playing soccer.

    You constantly run up and down the eld, he said.In Winsted, what we play is a kind of pickup game.Whoever shows up we play with. Because its a pickup

    game you dont have formal strategies so we dont runplays.

    Robillard said that the sport can be played by anyone.One of the major appeals of ultimate Frisbee is that,

    whether you are incredibly athletic or not, tall or short,or if you can or cant run fast, anyone can play it, hesaid. Even if you do or dont have a sports physique,you can play.p
