cluding  a  rally  against  New  England’s  largest  coal  plant  last  summer.  The  march  that  stood  out  most  for  us,  though,  was  seven  years  ago.  It  began  in  Ripton  at  the  Robert  Frost  Wayside  and  came  down  the  mountain  to  Middlebury.  May  and  a  few  others  slept  in  my  meadow  that  QLJKW WKH ÂżUVW QLJKW RXW RQ D ZHHN long  march  to  Burlington.  That  march  culminated  in  a  Burl-­ ington  rally  that  drew  1,000  people.  At  the  time  it  was  the  largest-­ever  gath-­ ering  of  people  calling  for  action  on  global  warming. This  past  Sunday,  a  few  short  years  later,  May  and  I  stood  amid  a  crowd  that  was  400  times  larger  â€”  and  was  being  noticed  all  over  the  world. So  when  people  say  large  demon-­ strations  don’t  make  a  difference,  that  corporations  and  the  politicians  they  own  will  always  prevail,  I’ll  remind  them  that  demonstrations  turned  the  tide  for  civil  rights  and  against  the  war  in  Vietnam  â€”  and  that  we  are  in  the  process  of  doing  the  same  thing  today  on  climate  change. Indeed,  the  climate  change  move-­ ment  takes  a  lot  of  cues  from  the  civil  rights  movement  and  the  Vietnam  an-­ tiwar  movement.  But  there’s  a  different  tone  to  this  exploding  activism  about  the  climate.  It  has  less  of  the  somberness  that  marked  the  civil  rights  movement.  It’s  also  far  less  angry  than  the  anti-­ war  movement,  which  was  fueled  by  outrage  at  the  immorality  of  the  war  the  U.S.  waged  throughout  Southeast  Asia.  What  stands  out  about  the  climate  movement  is  that,  for  now,  it  is  often  joyous  and  driven,  yes,  by  a  bit  of  an-­ ger  but  also  by  love  of  humanity  and  the  planet.  We  didn’t  come  to  New  York,  all  400,000-­plus  of  us,  because  we  hate  things. We  were  there  because  we  love  the  planet,  and  because  we  expect  our  leaders  to  help  us  save  it.

I  hate  about  winter  are  making  me  a  happier,  healthier  person.

By  EVAN  JOHNSON MIDDLEBURY  â€”  What  do  Mark  Twain,  Toni  Morrison,  George  Orwell,  Kurt  Vonnegut  and  John  Steinbeck  all  have  in  common?  All  are  world-­ renowned  authors  with  some  of  the  most  widely  recognized  works  trans-­ lated  into  multiple  languages,  and  their  works  are  also  some  of  the  most  widely  censored,  challenged  or  banned. But  this  Tuesday,  seven  Vermont  writers  gathered  at  the  Champlain  Valley  Unitarian  Universalist  Society  in  Middlebury  to  read  from  those  authors’  best  works  â€”  for  precisely  that  reason.  â€œIt’s  almost  a  compliment  when  you  think  about  it,â€?  said  Pulitzer  Prize  winner  Ron  Powers  of  having  a  book  banned,  adding  that  he  considered  censorship  or  being  banned  to  be  tanta-­ mount  to  assassination  â€”  a  sure  route  to  immortality. “I’ve  never  had  either  happen  to  me,  but  there’s  always  hope,â€?  Powers  said. Tuesday  evening’s  reading  event,  called  â€œThe  Evening  Without,â€?  was  part  of  Banned  Books  Week,  an  annual  September  observation  sponsored  by  the  American  Library  Association.  It  ZDV Âż UVW PDUNHG LQ WR FHOHEUDWH the  freedom  to  choose  or  the  freedom  to  express  one’s  opinion,  even  if  that  opinion  might  be  considered  unortho-­ dox  or  unpopular. The  event’s  emcee,  Virginia  Lindauer  Simmon,  an  ACLU-­Vermont  board  member  and  past  president,  introduced  the  materials  as  well  as  their  rank  on  the  American  Libraries  Association’s  list  of  frequently  banned  books.  Each  of  the  invited  writers  shared  observations  on  the  nature  of  censor-­ ship  and  negative  reactions  to  their  own  works.  Powers  read  an  excerpt  from  â€œThe  Adventures  of  Huckleberry  Finnâ€?  â€”  a  book  that  Powers  said  has  consistently  been  challenged  for  its  â€œstreet  vernacu-­ lar,â€?  â€œcoarse  behaviorâ€?  and  209  uses  of  the  n-­word.  Lincoln  novelist  Chris  Bohjalian  shared  an  experience  when  his  editor  called  him  in  2001  with  some  good  news  and  bad  news.  A  newspaper  in  Mississippi  had  written  an  article  about  him,  however  it  had  labeled  him  a  â€œpornographerâ€?  and  wanted  his  then-­recent  novel  â€œTransistor  Radioâ€?  removed  from  the  local  high  school’s  library.  Bohjalian  read  from  John  Steinbeck’s  â€œThe  Grapes  of  Wrath.â€?  Published  in  1939,  the  book  was  criticized  as  ³¿ OWK\ ´ DQG SURPRWLQJ ÂłFODVV KDWUHG ´

VERGENNES  UNION  HIGH  School  students,  staff  and  community  members  participated  in  the  school’s  10th  annual  Peace  One  Day  rally  last  Friday.  The  event  included  a  banner  with  handprints  from  Vergennes  Union  Elementary  students,  and  a  speech  from  Lt.  Col.  John  Medenwald  of  the  Vermont  Army  National  Guard.

VUHS holds 10th annual Peace One Day gathering By  ANDY  KIRKALDY VERGENNES  â€”  Vergennes  Union  High  School  students  on  Friday  spoke,  sang  and  read  poetry  at  their  10th  annual  Peace  One  Day  rally  to  promote  harmony  at  their  school  and  in  their  community  as  well  as  around  the  world. VUHS  has  held  a  student-­led  all-­ school  assembly  each  year  since  2005  to  celebrate  the  annual  Sept.  21  United  Nations  International  Day  of  Peace.  Last  week’s  all-­school  Peace  One  Day  event,  held  on  the  VUHS  front  lawn,  was  moved  to  Friday  because  Sept.  21  fell  on  a  non-­school  day. Students  also  dedicated  this  year’s  gathering  to  VUHS  staff  member  Lee  Shorey,  a  longtime  supporter  of  Peace  One  Day  at  the  school.  Student  Aly  Gebo  said  from  the  podium  that  the  student  Peace  One  Day  commit-­ tee  â€œdidn’t  have  to  think  very  hardâ€?  before  picking  Shorey  and  donat-­ ing  money  to  Heifer  International  in  Shorey’s  name. “She  is  a  kind  soul  who  cares  about  anyone  she  meets,  and  nothing  can  stand  in  her  way  when  she  sets  her  mind  to  something,â€?  Gebo  said.  â€œShe  is  outgoing,  empathetic,  genuine  and  generous.  She  gives  before  she  takes.â€? Organizers  said  middle  school  students  sold  more  than  50  â€œPeace  Piesâ€?  and  raised  more  than  $600  to  donate  to  Heifer  International,  which  describes  itself  as  a  â€œcharity  orga-­ nization  working  to  end  hunger  and  poverty  around  the  world  by  provid-­ ing  livestock  and  training  to  strug-­ gling  communities.â€?   The  theme  of  the  day  for  organizers  was  showing  a  picture  of  a  key  on  a  piece  of  paper  and  saying,  â€œThe  key  to  unlocking  your  power  to  make  peace  LV ´ DQG DVNLQJ VWXGHQWV WR Âż QLVK WKH sentence.  Several  students  responded  throughout  the  roughly  hour-­long  event.

Isham said he expects students to again press the Middlebury College board of trustees to divest its hold-­ ings in fossil fuel, especially as the college searches for a new presi-­ dent next year. In August 2013, the board of trustees declined to purge fossil fuel investments from the college’s $1 billion endowment. Isham said that the decision to di-­ vest by an organization as large as the Rockefeller Foundation shows that endowments don’t need to be invested in fossil fuels to grow. “That they made that decision based on both the moral authority of the calling and the wisdom of having investments in fossil fuels, or the lack thereof, is a tremendous signal,” he said.
