Six Feet Under: The Com-
plete Series (HBO Video)
Think life is unpredict-
able? Think about death. The
groundbreaking land hilari-
ous) HBO series died off, but
has been brought back to life
in one nifty DVD collection.
The 24 discs are packaged in
a mock burial plot (complete
with "grass"!) and include two
bonus soundtracks. When
something ends, you simply
start again from the begin-
ning.
r
Double Indemnity (Uni-
versal)
One of the best film noirs
returns in a special two-disc
set, with a digitally re-mas-
tered picture that allows
cinematographer John Seitz's
exquisite black-and-white
photography to take your
breath away.
Flower Drum Song (Uni-
versal)
The little-known Rodg-
ers and Hammerstein gem
blossoms in its DVD debut.
Though far from the best
of R&H, the film boasts the
delightful "I Enjoy Being a
Girl," "A Hundred Million
Miracles," and some of the
screen's most regal choreog-
raphy ever created by legend
Hermes Pan. Musical theatre
buffs will relish The Rodgers
and Hammerstein Collection
(FoxHome Entertainment),a
must-have collection featur-
ing Carousel, The King and
I, Oklahoma, The Sound of
Music, State Fair and South
Pacific. Just as fabulous as
the films are the bonus tracks
and behind-the-scenes and
making-of features.
The Premiere Frank Capra
Collection (Sony Pictures)
Celebrate one of the most
honored and respected di-
rectors of all time with this
digitallyre-mastered set that
includes five of his films, as
well asadocumentaryhosted
by Ron Howard. It may have
happened one night,but with
these gems, it can happen
every night.
White Christmas (Para-
mount)
PeggyLee,Danny Kaye and
Bing Crosby in one package.
How can you say no? The
special edition includes a CD
of Irving Berlin's score. Let
it snow!i

As Ralphie, Newton not only looks
the part -he also plays the anxious,
imaginative youngster everyone
remembers being during the holiday
season with enthusiasm and talent.
Whether wearing cowboy gear, 10
pounds of protection against the cold,
or pink bunny pajamas sent by a rela-
tive, Newton as Ralphie stands up to
any comic challenge.
Further enhancing HJT's comic
creation is Ralphie's family, played by
Harper (as Ralphie's far-too-cheerful
yet devious mother), David C. Wallace
(his expletive-mumbling, Christmas
turkey-obsessed father) and first-time
performer Ian Hamilton (annoying,
slightly odd younger brother Randy).
Ryan Rudewicz, as Ralphie's friend
Flick, shines in the classic lamppost
scene. Although young, Rudewicz
nails the slapstick comedy.
The costumes, especially those of
Ralphie and his schoolmates, seemed
taken directly from 1938.
Scenery for the Parker household
includes basics such as a table and
chairs, but also features the classic
leg lamp Mr. Parker wins in a mail-in
contest, complete with fringed shade.
The HJT goes a step further and
includes scene-setting elements that
create an absolutely great show.
Controlled by Joe Tagliaferi and Mary
Ferer, who also make brief and hilari-
ous appearances onstage as cowboys
and elves, sounds (like howling wind,
barking dogs, and shooting air rifles)
and smoke (like breaking furnaces),
these movie elements are part of the
reason the HJT has created a new
Christmas classic.
Although a little silly, A Christmas
Story recreates the spirit of what it
feels like to be a kid during the holi-
day season. This season, instead of
turning on the TV for another viewing
of the classic movie version, let the
HJT's cast of characters introduce
you to a new tradition.
Harwich Junior Theatre's A Christmas Story runs
Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at
2 p.m. through Dec. 30. For tickets ($18; $16 for 65
and older; $12 for under 21), call 508-432-2002 or

This Shepherd's tale...
CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1
don't fish, you can get the
seafood in any fish market,
and because it's local it can
be very fresh.
With the first chapter,
"Spring, " Masch shows some
of the most delicious ways
to use those lost filets in
the freezer. The Portuguese
Baked Fish in Tomato Sauce
can turn any piece of last
year's catch into a fabulous
meal. The chapters then
take us through the sea-
sons, each loaded with the
best ways to prepare all of
the delicacies going in the
waters around us.
Summer delivers stripers,
blues and all the abundance
our waters have to offer.
Autumn brings the bounty,
a time in which Pops rec-
ommends over-indulging
and then spending the lean
winter months working it off.
Masch's Master Recipe for
Memorable Fish Cakes and
the Roast Lobster with Vanil-
la Sauce are perfect for doing
just that. The latter, served
on a bed of bright green
spinach and watercress,
with Roast Stuffed Tomatoes
Provencal on the side, guar-
antees any cook can come off
looking like a pro.
The final chapter. "Winter,"
brings with it comfort foods
like Portuguese Squid Stew
laced with Piri-Piri Pepper
Sauce, and party favorites
like smoked bluefish pate.
Masch walks the reader
through the year, pointing
out the best ways to enjoy
whatever you catch, even if it
is not what you went fishing
for in the first place.
In one of the sections in
this chapter, "What do you
mean, trash fish?!", Masch
warns of the dangers of
over-fishing and how utiliz-
ing some of the lesser known
species can help stave off
what some see as an inevi-
table decline. The book is
filled with fatherly environ-
mental advice on a range of
things from mercury levels
to pollution in general.
This is no ordinary col-
lection of recipes; each
chapter tells us how that
recipe came to be in this
treasure chest of beloved
dishes. Some of the tales are
touching as in the story of
Seth Carey, a young friend
of Masch who passed away
last autumn after a long
battle with ALS. Pops refers
to Carey as a "man of fish"
who enjoyed studying their
habits, catching them,
cleaning them, and cook-
ing and eating them. Seth's
story is moving and at the
same time teaches us to
enjoy the world around us to
its fullest.
Many of the chapters are
infused with Pops' sense of
satirical wit and colloquial-
isms you would overhear at
any diner around the Cape
while sharing a cup'ajoe
with the locals. The salmon
cakes, which he created
by combining some left-
over Chinese cabbage and
mashed potatoes with a long
forgotten can of salmon, are
described as "good enough
to make you slap your
grandma if she took more
that her share."
The book offers more than
a variety of ways to prepare
any type of seafood you
might come across, either at
the end of a fishing line or
at the corner fish market. It
is filled with fun stories and
life lessons, tales of friends
and family getting together
to enjoy what the waters
have to offer. Masch urges
readers not to be afraid to
experiment and try their
own touches with the dish-
es. It's cooking, not rocket
science. It should be fun.
So, as Pops says, "Go for
it. Pleasure beckons!"
Dave "Pops" Masch will sign his book
at Market Street Books in Mashpee
Commons Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m.

really lucked out," he said, in se-
curing Liberty Hall in Marstons
Mills. His drum teacher, Mar-
tin Vazquez of MV Drums in
Hyannis, pitched in with equip-
ment.
Harmon enlisted a slew of fel-
low musicians to accompany and
open for him, creating a true
concert . He hopes to make the
show an annual event.
Performing as the "Friends"
part of Mike Harmon and
Friends will be Bryce Kan-
zer and Matt Joseph from
Barnstable High School, Brian
Paulding from Dennis-Yarmouth,
Frank Cogliano of Sandwich,
and Dylan Vaughn, Dave Scan-
durra , and Cory Schectman from
the Berklee College of Music.
Opening the show will be local
band Scrubcat featuring BHS
singer Devyn Hart.
"The musicians said they'd
love to help," said Harmon. "I
feel blessed because everyone
just put it in my hands."
Nonetheless, Harmon is a bit
daunted by the reality of per-
forming the songs he's written
in front of a live audience. "Most
of this stuff hasn't been carried
farther than my basement," he
said.
It's the message behind
the event that matters most,
though. "I want to raise aware-
ness that you need to help out,"
Harmon said of organ donation.
"Don't leave the people here
hanging."
Billy Harmon lives on in those
who received part of his eyes,
and his kidneys, though who the
recipients are remains a mystery
to his family. Although they have
been to conventions and met
organ donation recipients , the
Harmons have yet to learn who
received Billy's organs.
"I don't know how I'd handle
it," said his son. "I'd definitely
invite them to the concert ,
though."
The Concert for Life will take place tonight
at Liberty Hall in Marstons Mills. Doors
open at 7:30 and the show begins at 8.
Tickets are $8. T-shirts , beverages and
cookies will be sold as well, with proceeds
benefiting the New England Organ Bank.
KEEP THE TOWN I

Shop Locally! I
Like his dad...

The
air can't seem
to make up its
mind. It's warm and
soothing one day, stinging
and bitter another.The
wind that is relentless one
moment disappears the
next.
The one constant is the
steady retreat of day-
light as we approach the
calendar day with the
fewest hours of sunlight.
Although that day will
dawn the darkest of the
year, the next will begin
the advance of light once
again, culminating in the
day with the most hours
of sunlight, six months
from now. How quickly
and predictably the world
of nature changes and yet
stays the same.
In most of our neighbor-
hoods, it is the time of the
feeder birds. They greet
us cheerfully in the thin
morning light and chatter
contentedly throughout
the day.
The usual chickadees,
downy woodpeckers,
white breasted nut-
hatches,
tit- «. !
mice, JJPV i

and
cardi-
nals are often as reli-
able as clock chimes.
These small mixed flocks
will often travel through
a neighborhood together
visiting several yards of
feeders. Watch for juncos,
those gray and
white harbingers
of snowy mornings
to come. White
throated sparrows
are around, too,
and you may have
other, rarer visitors
to your feeders if
you are lucky.
This week
li . it's been nice
jfta enough for
v/(| long walks
|v on the
1
\ beach and a
j recent walk
/ at Kalmus
/ assured me
j all the usual
/ crowd was
[ there. There's
^
always a nice
H| flock of snow
buntings up
in the dunes
^
\ each winter
j A m and sure
Bjgp enough,
W they are
there once
again.
A small flock of buffle-
heads was bobbing about
in the waves and a few
red-breasted mergansers
were swimming and diving.
The local winter brandt
were there as were a few
Canada geese. The harrier
that patrols this small but
productive area was also
there, soaring low over
the ridge where the sand
meets the grass.
The gulls were sitting
on the water looking for
crabs, clams and scallops
and as they found them
they would lift themselves
into the sky only to be
chased and harassed by
fellow gulls that had not
been so lucky. It was a rare
gull that could hold onto
its find this particular
morning and many hapless
shellfish were dropped ,
picked up, dropped again
and so on until they were
finally broken open.
Even then, the gull that
made the final successful
drop was chased from its
prize by a group of noisy
marauders who were so
busy chasing and com-
plainingthat they lost out
to yet another gull that
simply walked over and
gulped it down. I think
there's a lesson there.
The marsh across from
Sea Street Beach is always
a good place to see winter
ducks as is the Centerville
River by the bridge. Dows-
es Beach in Osterville has
a good array and Loop
Beach in Cotuit is worth a
close look, especially now
while a Barrow's golden-
eye is holding court.
The Mill Pond in
Marstons Mills is full of
birds and most area ponds
have their own share of
local favorites. My favorite
recent sighting is from,
of all places, the drainage
pond by the treatment
plant in Hyannis which has
had hooded mergansers
among other ducks over
the past few weeks.
In case you're wonder-
ing, you can always peek
over there while sitting in
traffic on Route 28.
