C2 LivinglArts The Boston Globe WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2 003 dairies Carol Beggy Thrussell moves on to his next stage; local chefs cook for Goodall 5 Iv'; I '-'Jj-I 1 'A able agriculture, which the center's director, Dr. Eric Chivian, noted was really all part of the same process. The dinner featured organic produce some of which was from Massachusetts environmentally raised livestock, seafood caught using sustainable fishing methods, organic wine, and free-trade coffee. Looking into the kitchen with host chef Gordon Ha-mersley, the cheery Goodall announced she is a vegetarian and said: "I'm interested to see what you all can do. Most chefs have a funny idea what vegetarians should eat I'm looking forward to eating your vegetables." OF POLITICS AND DINING We're sure with a lineup like they had Monday night, there'll be a second one.

What was billed as the first "annual" dinner for the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard's Kennedy School at UpStairs on the Square included a spectacular list of luminaries: Samantha Power, founding executive director of the center and recent winner of the Pulitzer Prize for her book "A Problem From Hell: America and the Age of Boston Redevelopment Authority chief Mark Maloney; Supreme Judicial Court chief justice Margaret Marshall and her husband, Anthony Lewis of The New York Times; author Rose Styron; architect Guy Grassi; and former American Repertory Theatre artistic director Robert Bru-stein and his wife, Doreen. The evening was hosted natch by Mary-Catherine Deibel and Deborah Hughes. NICE NEIGHBORS The Yawkey Foundation yesterday awarded a multiyear $5 million grant to support the construction of the Jean Yawkey Center at Emmanuel College. The grant will also fund the Jean R. Yawkey Center for Community Leadership at Emmanuel College.

The Red Sox CURTAIN CALL FOR THRUSSELL Boston Ballet principal dancer Paul Thrussell will be leaving the company he has called home for nearly 10 years when the run of "Romeo and Juliet" comes to a close May 18. (Thrussell will be dancing the roles of Mercutio and Romeo in the production, which opens May 8.) "If been a wonderful time," Thrussell said yesterday between rehearsals. "It is my choice to leave, but Boston Ballet will still go on, and it will be wonderful." Born in England, Thrussell received his training at the Royal Ballet School in London and danced with the Northern Ballet Theatre and the London City Ballet before coming to Boston in the 1993 season. Thrussell said he will not be hanging up his dance shoes; rather, he will be dancing in Milwaukee. "I was thinking about retiring, but there seems like there's so much more for me to dance," he said.

He will dance the role of Mercutio on opening night and will close out his tenure with the company as Romeo on May 17, dancing with principal Jennifer Gelf and. "It will be great to get to dance with her again," he said. GOOD ON GOODALL By the time folks gathered at Hamersley's Monday night for a benefit dinner featuring cooking by six of Boston's best chefs to honor primate expert Jane Goodall, all the heavy lifting of getting an award and unveiling a new Imax film about chimps in Tanzania was over. It was time for local supporters and friends to enjoy themselves. "I used to be a waitress," Goodall said, relating how she worked in a restaurant to save enough money for her first trip to Africa.

Goodall was given the 2003 Global Environmental Citizen Award by the Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard's Medical School on Monday for her work with primates and on creating sustain the underwriter of the Wellness Community's annual Gilda Radner Dinner on May 12, which this year will honor Sox CEO Larry Lucchino, a cancer survivor who has been committed to advocacy and education about cancer since he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 1985. And today, from 1 1 a.m. to noon, Red Sox players Shea Hillenbrand, Johnny Damon, and Trot Nixon will serve ice cream to local first-grade students from behind the counter of the 1020 Commonwealth Ave. Dunkin' Do-nuts and Baskin-Robbins shop in Boston to celebrate the official launch of 100 new Baskin-Robbins shops throughout New England.
