newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY —A record number of farmers are seeking flood r ecovering help fr om the Northeast Or ganic Farming Association of V ermont (NOFA-Vt.). NOF A of ficials said they ar e experiencing unprecedented levels of inter est in their Farmer Emergency Fund. Farmers seeking NOF A assistance ar e or ganic farmers, accor ding to the organization. NOFA-Vt. member farmers whose land and crops were destroyed by the statewide flooding are eligible for the help. “We have never experienced such widespr ead need fr om our farmer members,” said Enid Wonnacott, NOFA-Vt. executive director. “Usually we see farms apply to the Emergency Fund for assistance after an isolated event such as a barn fire or a hoop house that has collapsed. Since the flooding affected so many farmers, we ar e seeing a need that is gr eater than ever before.” According to Caitlin Gildrien, NOF A-Vt. spokeswoman, “in r esponse t o t he a nticipated financial need to help farmers r ebuild, NOF AVT is launching an online auction to raise critical funding to support the Emergency Fund. The goal of the auction is to raise at least $30,000.” The auction will run the first two weeks in October. All of the funding raised will go dir ectly to help Vermont farmers in need. Over $63,000 has been raised for the fund so far. For mor e information about donating or applying for funds, please visit nofavt.org or call 802-4344122.

Campus event focuses on Middle East MIDDLEBURY—Recent pr otests in the Middle East are arguably the most significant news story of 2011. Last week, Middlebury College’s Clifford Symposium, “(Re)Pr esenting National and Cultural Identities in the Middle East,” sought to deepen understanding of this and other stories of the region by exploring aspects of its many cultures and national identities. A notable gr oup of diverse speakers—scholars, journalists, writers, poets, artists, and human rights activists—participated in the thr ee-day event, of fering analysis and personal reflection on countries ranging fr om Yemen and Syria to Israel and Egypt. Shibley Telhami, the Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development at the University of Maryland, College Park, and author of “The Stakes:America and the Middle E ast,” began the symposium with the keynote address, “Identity and the Arab A wakening.” Telhami served as an advisor to the U.S. Department of State and is a member of the Council on For eign Relations. He has also contributed opinion pieces to the Washington Post and other publications. Wendell Stevenson, the New Yorker ’s Cairo correspondent, spoke on Tahrir Square’s central role in Egypt’s revolution. The four remaining sessions all featured multiple speakers. In the first, ti-
tled “The Reporter’s Challenge,” Wendell Steavenson, the New Yorker ’s Cairo correspondent, discussed Tahrir Square’s central role in Egypt’s revolution, how the people who continue to gather ther e have r emained a central force in t he p ush f or d emocracy, a nd the fluctuating moods of the cr owd in the square from celebratory to hostile. Amira Hass, a corr espondent for the Israeli newspaper Haar etz, followed with r emarks titled “Reporting to the Occupier about the Occupation.” Hass has lived in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) since 1993, first in Gaza and now in Ramallah. The symposium’s second session will included a look at the Syrian uprising by Radwan Ziadeh, the founder and dir ector of the Damascus Center for Human Rights Studies in Syria and a visiting scholar at George Washington University’s Institute for Middle East Studies. Grassr oots activism was the subject of the thir d session, and featured a talk, “Bahrain’s Social Media Uprising and the Government’s Counter Campaign,” by Maryam Al Khawaja, head of foreign relations for the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and a human rights activist who played an instr umental r ole in that country’s democratic pr otests in February. Five speakers participated in the final session last Saturday, “Articulating

Identity in Dance, W ord and Film,” which offered topics ranging from poetry and tribal dancing in Yemen to Israeli cinema and the meaning of “homeland” in Palestinian writings. Two films in the college’s Hirschfield I nternational F ilm S eries were screened in conjunction with the Clifford Symposium: “Restr epo” and “Incendies.” Middlebury College Professors Larry Yarbrough, of the r eligion department, and Tamar Mayer, a member of the geography faculty and dir ector of the College’s Middle East Studies Program, organized the symposium. Middlebury faculty members Quinn Mecham and Huda Fakhr eddine were among the speakers. “To focus on the Middle East during the Clifford Symposium was timely in many ways,” said Yarbrough. This academic year , Middlebury College is opening two new sites for the C.V . Starr -Middlebury School Abroad in the Middle East—one in Israel and one in Jord an—to join a site already in Egypt. The annual Clif ford Symposium is named after College Professor of History Emeritus Nicholas R. Clif ford, who taught history at the college from 1966 to 1993 and who in his many years as a member of the faculty and administration cultivated critical inquiry.

When the next flood comes The pen that skipped
T
here is a group of vocal Middlebury residents unhappy with town efforts to dredge sections of the Middlebury River following the Aug. 28 flooding. As we all know, this flooding was the result of Tropical Storm Irene; and while hurricanes and their offspring don’t happen too often in Vermont, we shouldn’t be surprised by northeastern trending tropical cyclones. Their paths of past destruction are in the history books. More immediately, however, opponents to dredging streambed sediments, rocks, and debris believe town officials acted too hastily to “fix” the problem. Many residents believe town officials should spend more time and money to study the river and its flooding patterns. (The more we learn about the fluid dynamics of rivers, the better we can predict future flood patterns.) Years ago, damming and dredging were common “solutions” to prevent flooding, but subsequent studies—and subsequent flooding—have shown that s this kind of approach makes matters worse in most cases. The sad, wet history of the community of Gilboa, N.Y., situated on the edge of the Catskill Mountains, is an example of engineering fixes that “fix” one flooding problem only to create others downstream. Sometimes dredging can reshape a watercourse to subtly increase the velocity of future floodwater. This might happen on the Middlebury River in the future. Of course the word might is stressed here. A Middlebury Selectboard meeting this past week included a standing room only crowd of residents concerned about the town’s intended action. Among concerned residents are local anglers who, rightfully, care about how artificial streambed activity will affect fish habitat. There’s also this question: why homeowners in the flood path of local streams continue to be surprised by the capriciousness of Mother Nature? While we understand why many residents don’t want streambeds touched— for fear of making a bad thing worse— those of us who live outside floodplains ask ourselves why we should continue to
pay to help those knowingly living in harm’s way? (We’re talking about those annual, predictable flood paths not thrice in a century events like Irene.) Increased costs are paid by all of us through higher insurance rates (ultimately paid by all ratepayers) and state and federal emergency funds (ultimately paid by all taxpayers). There is probably a middle path to follow, a path that eases both aggressive dredging and starts to slowly reduce the number of homes along the path of floodprone streams. We’re talking about those areas where flooding is a recognized, almost annual problem. Maybe future plans should include towns buying up certain streamside residences when they come up for sale? There are easy places to identity where this is a concern. Such acquired future public land could be left to return to the wild. Trees and other plants provide better anchors to surrounding soils than houses, outbuildings and paved surfaces. So questions we all need to consider are should we continue to live in flood prone areas and should we continue to expect fellow taxpayers and insurance ratepayers to rush to our aid in times of trouble, particularly in places where flooding is so predictable? These are difficult, even emotional questions that may never be answered to the satisfaction of everyone involved. Yes, we need to help those who are homeless because of recent flooding, but we also need to encourage people to rethink the romance of living along Vermont’s wildly fickle streams. When we let nature take its course, our streams settle down into predictable patterns governed by gravity and terrain. Where we know streams can flood—even once every 100 years—maybe it’s time to get out of the way? Playing chicken with Vermont streams seems like a losing game to me. Louis Varricchio

C
onsider the remarkable origins of the U.S. Progressive movement: a conservative-roots pushback against the ward-heeler urban politics and government-corporate crony capitalism of the post-Civil War period, led at first by fighting Bob LaFollette, Republican Wisconsin governor in the late 1800s. It's not surprising that contemporary Progressives delight in reciting some of those statistics from the 1865-1900 period to prove their superiority. Here’s the latest example: a guest editorial by Progressive professor Francois Furstenburg appearing in a recent issue of Addison County's oldest newspaper. The opinion piece was titled, “Lessons from the 19th century may still apply”. It recites some of the fairly well known '65to-'00 stats describing the three decades of deflation as Washington systematically reduced the money supply by calling in and redeeming the non-gold backed paper money bills (that monetary policy got one short sentence in his full-page-length commentary). All the other stats got more attention: labor unrest, economic shrinkage, corporate bankruptcies, rich-v-poor wealth disparity. But the writer chose not to mention the declines in farmgate commodity prices or freight rates or the growth in urban wages and incomes. Not a word about the advances in such then luxuries (now essentials) as electrical usage, indoor plumbing, consumer goodsavailability—think Montgomery Ward and Sears-Roebuck—and, of course, public and private transportation. Here are some of the stats ignored by the writer taken from “The Americans, an Economic Record” by Progressive professor Stanley Lebergott. He takes the U.S. Census wage data and adjust them for inflation or deflation into 1914 dollars, 1914 being the year when farm and non-farm earnings were supposedly at parity. In 1865 the wage was $338. By 1900 it was $573. That's an unrecognized-by-Furstenburg gain of 70 percent. Today, of course, Progressive economists complain about income stagnation, but when it was a dominant economic fact that inconveniently disputes their ideological template, the pen skips. And cost-of-living wasn’t rising with urban earnings, either. Consider food costs. The earliest stats in the U.S. Historical
Sunshine Superman Lots of folks have been commenting about my weight. Thanks for being curious and or concerned. I’ve lost 25 pounds and landed at 180, or a pound or two below, depending on my intake of fuel and output of energy any particular day. The weight loss is, I consider, a major reason that I’m very much more than fine. I’m mighty fine—feel like a million bucks (pre2009 million bucks). How and why does a middle-aged guy decide to lose 25 pounds from his not overweight frame? Long story. Got a minute? At age 40, I was a superman. Weren’t you? I routinely rang the strongman bell at the fair, with one arm, and one swing, while whistling The Knack’s, “My Sharona.” I’d tote giant rolled living room carpets on my shoulder for miles, just to say so. Women? Ha, two, three to a shot, then wonder how I still had energy left to pet the cat. For fun on my 40th birthday, I leapt a tall building, 14 times, in 15 minutes. Then in the winter of my 40th year, skiing, I caught both tips in some heavy powder. Upon yanking the tips out, I felt a wrench and tug in my lower back. Right than and there, superman lost his cape, for good – but I didn’t know it. I skied the rest of the day on residual superman pheromones. Real smart. Then I went to a back doctor, who took an x-ray and calmly told me after viewing the xray, “You have a bad back.” I said, “Yeah, I know.” He repeated, “You have a, bad back.” “That’s why I’m here doc, yeah.” “No, you have a bad back,” he insisted. Then pausing, he tapped his middle finger on the problem area of the xray and continued, “you always will.” Stunned, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind,
Statistics are a bit uneven, but it is possible to compare family income in Massachusetts of 1875 ($763) with family income in all states 1901 ($651) for a 15 percent deflation; but food expenditures dropped from $427 to $266, a 38 percent deflation. At the beginning of the post-Civil War decades, consumers were spending 56 percent of their income for food; at the end, it was down to 40 percent. During the same three and a half decades, Willard Cochrane, in “The Development of American Agriculture”, reported that wheat went from $2 to $.50 by 1895, and freight rates on the New York Central went from over $2/ton-mile to under $.50. This explains why (and why Furstenburg doesn’t) the railroads wanted a new Interstate Commerce Commission to save them by setting rates. Yes, the Vanderbilts and Carnegies were compiling fortunes but previously destitute urban wage-earners were getting into the middle class. Meanwhile, midwestern farmers were struggling. The most succinct source for this kind of data is the National Council of Economic Education; on its website you can find an eight-page summary of the post-war decades. Here's one sentence from the summary: “From 1870 to 1900, the prices American consumers paid for goods and services generally declined.” Professor Furstenburg disagrees with the NCEE; he describes the post-war decades as a time of “economic decline” with “…continued economic misery for the many, juxtaposed against fabulous wealth for the few…” and bemoaning "”…the inability of government policies to mitigate the crisis…” and so on. I guess there’s not enough government, for the professor. And there’s probably not enough government for him now. He argues that what he sees as the lesson of the 19th century—being insufficient government command of the economy and regulation of the citizenry—needs to be applied see MARTIN HARRIS, page 11
“Should I do yoga?” The doc laid my new life on me. “You can’t run anymore. Skiing won’t work. Any jarring sports, dirt biking, snowmobiling, (he didn’t call it snowmachining, he wasn’t from around here), can’t do those. You play basketball?” “In college, now town team.” “No more basketball.” I went in to clarify, “You don’t mean for good? I don’t have to stop for good? Right?” “Well,” he paused and looked again to the x-ray, “you’re on the fence here, one move and it could be over.” “Over?” I had been waiting for the next sport he listed of sports I should no longer do to be sex. But the more he spoke, the more the tone in the room became ominous, the more I felt like crap, the more it sounded like he was saying I could die from this back thing. Which of course wasn’t true. But the finality of his prescription made it feel that way. He soothed, “But yeah, yoga will be good, and you can hike, swim, fast walk.” “Fast walk?” I blurted it as I was picturing myself looking awfully sissified fast walking by the strongman bell at the fair, straight into Floral Hall. “What kind of vehicle do you drive?” he asked. “V.W. Golf.” “With your height, you’ll want to look into buying a larger vehicle, one you don’t have to bend down into. And a harder bed is best. And take your wallet out of your back pocket, stand straight, bend with your knees, stretch, but not too much, and don’t sit for long periods of time. For now, sitting is your worst enemy. Apply heat as often as you can.” At this point I think I know what’s ahead for me. The knife. So I ask how long till the back gets better, as if surgery isn’t even on my mind. What I hear is, not necessarily see THE LOGGER, page 11

Guest Viewpoint War and peace, part 1 I remember the moment I was convinced me that U.S. President Richar d Nixon was a desperate man. It was his pre-reelection promise to end the V ietnam W ar that stuck in my craw. I thought, “If the man can end the war next January, why not right now and save even mor e lives?” Now another desperate man is making a similar prereelection pr omise for the same reason: equally cold, calculating, and unfeeling, but infinitely more hypocritical. President Obama is dangling “hope” befor e the American people, luring voters with the lives of their sons and daughters as ransom by pr omising to bring home 350,000 troops just before Election Day 2012. I challenge the r eader to list how many pr omises this president has kept. First home should be the National Guard and Reserves: backup tr oops who should never be deployed unless Congress declares an all-out war that our r egular troops can’t handle, assuming we ar e up to full defensive strength by then. Prior to 9/11, the National Guar d’s general policy was "one weekend a month, two weeks a year"; no mor e than one year active duty; no more than six months overseas. Due to strains placed on the dramatically Clintonreduced, r egular tr oop strength, overseas mobilization time grew to 18, then 24 months. How many recent vets are jobless now? How many families have been broken because pr esidents, to this day, tried to make war in the Middle East without enough regular armed force? Thanks to the Clinton "peace dividend", a funding dodge that dramatically cut our nation's military and spent mor e on entitlement
programs that pull in votes from recipients of our money, we’re vulnerable even on our own turf. China, now building an air craft carrier fleet, and Russia, that still has nuclear weapons, know this. How gr eat a concern it is when our regular troops are of insuf ficient str ength to conduct an overwhelming engagement with the for ces of one small nation: Iraq. And how arr ogant of our president to continue that “war” on Afghan turf with troops upr ooted fr om our communities. Ther e ar e waiting lists for r egular Army recruits because there is no money to hire them and now, $350 billion less. If Obama can end the war next November , why not right now and save the lives of our troops? Instead of dy-
ing in the stinking swamps of V ietnam, now they'r e sinking in desert sand and splayed on mountain crags with about the same r esults in Afghanistan as fr om the same h alf-hearted e ffort i n Vietnam which left 58,000 American tr oops dead for nothing. Better, let the president— who just “won” himself a $350 billion defense budget cut— declare that the established democratic government in Iraq must keep its own peace and bring our non-regular tr oops home. We will leave r egular Army and air support in our existing bases in Iraq. Continued next week. David Millson Note: David Millson writes about international and political issues in New Haven, Vt.

Meet the Beatles! Well, sort of... By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—Long past the glory days of the 1960s, according to Doug Anderson, executive dir ector of Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater , the Beatles continue to attract new and loyal fans, 41 years after the rock band disbanded. A long time Beatles fan, Anderson said he wanted to bring the Beatles’ magic to Addison County. So, thanks to Anderson’s show business efforts, a group of local musicians has assembled to duplicate the Beatles amazing sound at Town Hall Theater , Friday, Oct. 7. “The Grift band will perform perfect, note-for-note covers of every song on all thr ee albums,” Anderson said. “Members of the popular band the Grift have joined with other ar ea musicians, including Jer Coons, to master the Beatles sound. “This concert thrills me for two easons,” r Anderson said. “I’m a big Beatles fan, and Beatles fans everywher e will want to hear this concert. But it’s also fascinating to see these younger musicians get hooked on the music of an earlier generation. W e always thought this music would live forever, and events like this suggest that it will.” Tickets: $12 in advance and $15 at the door . executive director Douglas Anderson.

Davydov plays sweet music locally By Tara Brooks

Middlebury College’s student big band, the Sound Investment Jazz Ensemble, plays the best of contemporary jazz arrangements. On campus Oct. 10, it will swing to the music of Duke Ellington and Count Basie.
Middlebury jazz royalty: The Count vs. the Duke By Liza Sacheli Lloyd
liza.lloyd@middlebury.edu MIDDLEBURY—Middlebury College’s Sound Investment Jazz Ensemble will present a joint concert with the Amherst College Jazz Ensemble on Monday, Oct. 10, at 8 p.m., in the Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall in Middlebury. The evening will be a celebration of the 50th anniversary of an historic jazz event. On July 6, 1961, the Count Basie Orchestra and the Duke Ellington Orchestra met in a NewYork City recording studio and cut the album entitled “First T ime! The Count Meets the Duke”. It r emains one of the few collaborative band albums ever pr oduced. These two important figur es in jazz had gr eat r espect for each other , but had not found a way to work together before. At Ellington’s invitation, Basie brought his band into Ellington’s home territory, and recorded on his label, Columbia. Basie r emarked that Ellington had always been his idol. The feeling was appar ently mutual: Ellington consider ed Basie “the
essence of the essence of the swing.” In setting up the session, Ellington said, “I tried to establish a status of the hostness to the mostness.” In turn, Basie called it “the most wonderful date I ever worked on.” Now, 50 years later , Middlebury’s Sound Investment Jazz Ensemble has invited the Amherst College Jazz Ensemble to come to town in that same spirit of making incr edible, swinging music together. Bruce Diehl, Jazz atAmherst’s director, and Dick Forman, leader of the Sound Investment, have long looked for ways to get Amherst and Middlebury jazz students together . Finally, with the gener ous support of the Amherst College Music Department, Diehl will bring the full band and other Amherst jazz students northwar d for a couple of days of making music together. The concert will featur e a varied program. In a nod to the historic BasieEllington album, selections fr om the Basie-Ellington album will be played by the Amherst and Middlebury bands simultaneously. Each ensemble will also perform a
few of the numbers they ar e working on individually . Combos fr om each school will round out the program. The evening pr omises to be one of the highlights of Middlebury’s fall jazz programming. Jazz has been part of the Middlebury experience since 1934, when a gro up of students formed a big band to play the music that’s been calledAmerica’s National T reasure. MIDDJazz, encompassing jazz performance, teaching, and lessons, r eflects the continuation of that tradition. The College’s big band, The Sound Investment Jazz Ensemble (SIJE), plays the best of contemporary jazz arrangements in addition to celebrating the classic charts of the swing and jazz r epertoires. The SIJE features many of the best jazz players on campus. Dick Forman, a mainstay of the Vermont jazz scene and Middlebury’s director of jazz activities, leads the SIJE, as well as an active jazz workshop program which supports the development of smaller groups. The Oct. 10 performance is fr ee and open to the public. For mor e information, call 802-443-3168 or see www.middlebury.edu/arts.
Edmunds Middle School games to be dedicated to late 12-year-old boy BURLINGTON—By all accounts, 12-year -old Bentley Davis Seifer was well liked by his young peers. The boy , a students at the Edmunds Middle School in Burlington, died this summer while swimming in the dangerous Bolton potholes. That’s why the news of his death was such a shock to the community of Edmunds School. Since 2000 the Bolton potholes, formed by water er osion along Joiner Br ook in the Huntington quadrangle, have been the scene of several drownings. Members of the Edmunds Middle School Boy’s Soccer Team announced that the opening home games for both the A and B teams will be dedicated to Seifer , a former soccer player at the school. According to Bruce Seifer, Bentley’s father, the boy began playing soccer when he was five years old. Throughout the years he has played for the Catamounts, Far Post, Burlington Parks and Recr eation, and various summer camps. He was known as a fast and tenacious player who never gave up, and was not afraid to challenge op-
ponents. One of Bentley’s long-time teammates said, “what I r emember about Bentley was his team spirit and that whenever he would fall or get knocked down, no matter how har d the hit or how tough the tackle, he would always get back up.” The opening home games are scheduled at Callahan Park in Burlington on Tuesday, Sept. 27, at 4 p.m. The Edmunds Seahawk teams will be playing the Milton Eagles. Seahawk members will be sporting black armbands in honor of their former teammate, classmate and friend. The dedication cer emony will be held after the B team game and before the beginning of theA Team game at 5 p.m. The dedication will include a tribute fro m Bentley’s longtime soccer coach Ron Krisak, a ceremonial cake, and a balloon r elease. Bentley inspir ed t-shirts and posters will be available for sale to benefit the Bentley Davis Seifer Memorial Foundation.

Asian-American composer makes Middlebury debut By Liza Sacheli Lloyd
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—The original chamber opera Lotus Lives, by composer Su Lian Tan and librettist Anne Babson, will receive its world premiere on Friday, Sept. 30 and Sunday, Oct. 2, at the Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall at Middlebury College. Lotus Lives is a bold experiment in opera. The music incorporates elements of rap, Chinese folk music, and dance club music into its lovely, high-art classical melodies. The libretto is non-linear—designed to r eveal itself like a lotus flower opening—and is filled with moments of humor and triumph, including vignettes from club VIP lounges, as well as a Chinese folktale as a parable. The work challenges the artifice demanded of ChineseAmerican women, whose gender -specific upbringing and traditional education alienate them fr om their tr ue selves. The work offers hope to those who would overcome stereotypes. Like its subject, Lotus Lives offers seemingly contradictory elements blended into a delicious and exuberant romp. The opera project has brought together an accomplished set of artistic collaborators. Composer Su Lian T an is known to the Middlebury College community as a professor in the Department of Music, but she has also earned numerous distinctions worldwide as a flutist, teacher, and conductor. She has received grants and awards fr om Meet the Composer , American Music Center , the Argosy Foundation, and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP). She has appeare d with orchestras and ensembles worldwide, and her work has been featured at Lincoln Center and on radio’s Morning Pro Musica, Dutch public radio, and CBC radio. Numer ous ensembles have commissioned her work, including the Grammy-winning Takacs String Quartet, MeridianArts Ensemble, Vermont Symphony Or chestra, and the New Juilliar d Ensemble. The Meridian Arts Ensemble takes the place of a traditional orchestra for Lotus Lives. This iconoclastic sextet of five
Su Lian Tan brass players and a percussionist is America’s leading brass group exploring the music of today . The Ensemble was founded in 1987, with nine commer cial CD r eleases, over fifty premieres, and performances on four continents and in 49 states to date. The rest of the production team includes violinist David Bowlin, chor eographer and dancer Arika Yamada, dancers Denys Drozdyuk and Sonia Hsieh ’10, and director Claudio
Medeiros ’90. Another unique aspect to this performance is the video set designed by Middlebury alumnus and filmmaker T im Bartlett. He studied film, English, and music composition at Middlebury, and received a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship to spend one year documenting the art of English bell ringing. Afterward, he continued to travel the world as a documentary cameraman, which included working with Ngawang Choephel as cinematographer and editor on T ibet in Song, winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009. He has also edited television shows, including Hell’s Kitchen, World of Jenks, and Emmy-winning seasons of The Amazing Race. His visual work on Lotus Lives incorporates everything from traditional Malaysian shadow puppetry to digital technology. In addition to the performances, the Lotus Lives team will offer three public outreach events. On Friday, Sept. 30, librettist Anne Babson will give a lunchtime talk entitled “Crosscultural Commonalities: Women Working Collaboratively to Create Art that Speaks to Multiple Identities,” at 12:15 pm in Chellis House. Next, designer Tim Bartlett and composer Su Tan give the informal talk “From Idea to Art.” They will share images from the video set and participate in a Q&Aon Saturday, October 1, 2011, at 4:00 pm in the Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall. On Sunday, October 2, 2011, audience members ar e invited to the 2:15 pm pr e-show talk “Glimpsing the Ephemeral,” with Stephen Whiteman, Visiting Assistant Professor, History of Art, and a moderated discussion with T an, Bartlett, and dancer Arika Yamada. All three events are free and open to the public. Lotus Lives has been a multi-year pro ject in development, with sponsorship fr om the Department of Music, the Arts Council, the Committee on the Arts, and the Director of the Arts. Lotus Lives will be performed on Friday , Sept. 30, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011 at 3 p.m., in the Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall. The performances are free and open to the public; no tickets ar e required. For mor e information, call 802-443-3168 or go to www.middlebury.edu/arts.
Custer’s Last Stand endures 2011 flood RUTLAND — A rare 12 feet wide by six feet high circus poster was acquir ed by the Vermont Historical Society when a local building was demolished r ecently. The poster was for the Forepaugh Cir cus which traveled throughout the United States fr om 1879 until the early 1900s. Forepaugh’s rivaled Barnum’s Cir cus. The im age is “Custer ’s Last Rally” or “Custer ’s Last Fight” and was part of the For epaugh’s Wild West Show. It was the first circus to show the Custer re-enactment in 1887. “The only time this cir cus visited Barre was on July 25, 1890, so we believe that is the date of the poster ,” said Jackie Calder, Vermont Historical Society’s Museum Curator. “This is a r emarkable survivor that r eminds us of how popular the circus was in Vermont at one time.” The poster is on exhibit at the Vermont History Center at 60 W ashington St. in Barre.
AARP ranks Vt. No. 4
BURLINGTON — A new report r eleased jointly by AARP’s Public Policy Institute, the Commonwealth Fund and the SCAN Foundation showed Vermont significantly o ut-perform o thered other states in the delivery of long-term services and supports to older adults and people with disabilities. Vermont ranked fourth for choice of settings, number 20 overall with a wide variance acr oss four key categories of performance, number 19 for af fordability and access, number 30 for quality of life and quality of car e and number 39 for support for family caregivers. The study finds, however, that even the top thr ee states—Minnesota, W ashington and Or egon—have a long way to go to cr eate a high-performing system of long-term services and supports. 86059

Fire Prevention Safety Tips • Discuss what to do in an evacuation. When told by officials, go immediately to a shelter as instructed or to the home of a friend or relative who lives out of the area. • Know evacuation routes. • Family members can become separated during an emergency. Be prepared by creating a plan for how to reach one another. • Quiz children every six months so they remember what to do, where to go, and whom to call in an emergency. • Decide how to take care of pets. • Post emergency phone numbers (fire, police, ambulance, etc.) by the phone. • Assemble a family disaster supplies kit and keep a smaller one in the trunk of your vehicle.

As befits an opinion column, here’s this humble scribe’s opinion— The Middlebury professor is perhaps entitled to present his ideological views to students who don't know better. He’s even entitled to downgrade the scores of those few who challenge him. But the professor is not entitled to let his pen skip over facts and history thereby twisting the truth. The facts and numbers of major gains for most of the U.S. population during the post-war decades don’t need to be

But, if you do all the things I suggested, you’ll be giving your back the best chance to heal, and the best case is, you’ll be able to avoid surgery and continue a normal, active life.” Holy crap. A normal life? I came here to Park City for a film festival to screen a film I have the leading role
in, and to ski, and look for Robert Redford, and be discovered, and from one trying turn on a lousy heavy powder run on a moderate slope, I’ve put myself into a situation where my life may no longer be normal? I head straight to a yoga class. To be continued.

“The physical damage caused by T ropical Storm Irene is immense. Less visible, however , is the human cost of Ir ene’s destr uctive path,” V ermont’s congr essional delegation said in a news statement dated Sept. 22. “Families have been displaced, businesses ar e shuttered and individuals ar e out o f w ork.

The Department of Labor grant will create 100 temporary jobs assisting with clean-up, demolition, repair, renovation, and r econstruction of destr oyed public structures, facilities, and lands throughout Vermont’s 14 counties as well as to deliver humanitarian aid and safety assistance. Additionally, these funds can be used to perform work on the homes of economically disadvantaged individuals, with priority given to services for the elderly and individuals with disabilities.

Vermont colleges building satellite under NASA grant By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com BURLINGTON—Vermont doesn’t necessarily come to mind when you think of exploring the final fr ontier of outer space. However, four in-state colleges ar e collaborating on the building of a mini satellite called a CubeSat. Students fr om four ar ea colleges—V ermont Technical College, the University of Vermont, Norwich University , and St. Michael’s College—are working together on the high-tech satellite with help fr om engineering and physics faculty members. Vermont’s f irst h omegrown s atellite w ill likely be launched aboar d a National Aeronautics and Space Administration r ocket next year—that is, if all goes well. So, what can possibly go wrong? As the history of international space exploration has shown, there are many risks involved in launching any object into space. Case in point: NASA’s most r ecent CubeSat launch event included satellites built by students in Montana, Colorado and Kentucky. A Taurus-XL rocket, with thr ee mini satellites aboard, lifted off from Vandenberg
Air Force Base in California Mar ch 4. However, just two minutes after launch, a malfunction prevented the rocket from reaching orbit—all of the student-built satellites were lost tumbling back to Earth. According to NASA ’s Of fice of Cubesat Launch Initiative, a CubeSat is classified as a “nano research satellite”—a fancy term for a very little space robot. The cube-shaped satellite being built in Vermont is approximately four inches long, with a volume of about one quart; it weighs less than three pounds. A NASA-funded CubeSat investigation project like V ermont’s must be consistent with the space agency’s strategic and education goals. According to NASA guidelines, the r esearch generated must meet or exceed several scientific, exploratory, technological, and educational goals. “We have a NASA grant through the Vermont S pace G rant C onsortium o f $ 195,000 led by Vermont Technical College with parts of the pr oject done by Norwich University and University of Vermont faculty and students and St. Michael’s College students,” said Vermont Technical College’s Dr. Carl S. Brandon, co-director of the CubeSat pro ject.
He is working closely with Dr . W illiam D. Lakin of the University of Vermont to oversee the complex project. “We ar e using a NASA Goddar d Spaceflight Center navigation softwar e package that will use GPS and celestial navigation on our CubeSat. We applied for what’s called a ‘NASA Launch Opportunity’ that was announced in March. “A single CubeSat is set to be launched on a NASA mission into Earth orbit in 2012, so we have a deadline looming in fr ont of us,” Brandon said. According to Brandon, the satellite integration cost—$30,000—will be paid by NASA. That includes everything needed to ship and pack the satellite into the r ocket payload faring. The curr ent price for a single CubeSat launch is between $75,000 and $100,000, Brandon said, so the NASA price is a good bargain for the Vermont colleges involved. “Of all the applications submitted to NASA for the launch opportunity, ours was ranked 10. That’s why we wer e selected for a launch,” he said. CubeSat is a big challenge for students involved in the effort. It r equires pushing the envelope in soft-
ware d evelopment, e lectronic e ngineering and assembly. However , Brandon is confident the team can build a successful, working satellite. “The single CubeSat for the launch opportunity will test our navigation system and use NASA’s GPS Enhanced Onboar d Navigation System (GEONS) softwar e, a space qualified GPS r eceiver and a star tracker camera—being built a Norwich University,” he said. “It will have an onboar d computer system, solar-power supply and radio transceiver to communicate with our ground station at Vermont Tech. “We are the only group in the world working on a CubeSat design that will one day go to the Moon,” he said. Brandon said V ermont’s CubeSat was originally conceived to fly to the Moon; however, exact plans by NASA regarding sending the student-built craft to our near est neighbor in space ar e uncertain at the moment. In addition to Vermont colleges, other colleges were awarded 2012 launch opportunities, too: Auburn University , California Polytechnic State University of Michigan, Utah St ate University; al l wer e chosen to build CubeSats.
