OUR READERS’ LETTERS ...bombarded... No matter what news program one watches or what political party one ascribes to, we the average American are bombarded with lies and hate-filled rhetoric. Historically this type of behavior, from all sides of the political spectrum is nothing new. Perhaps now is the time to stop the hate and lies. Now is the time for our politicians to set a higher standard. To rise above the mudslinging. The voter has also got to step up to the plate and demand those running for office at all levels of government act like mature adults. Vermont voters, let us lead the way. Write or call your current representatives and those running for office and tell them you will not tolerate mudslinging. To those running for office and cur-

rently in office, do not underestimate the Vermont voter. We are a lot more savvy than you think. This election we, the voters, demand to see and hear the issues presented in a logical and factual manner with no spin and no twist. Respectfully submitted, — Carlynann Johnson Ackermann, East Arlington, Vermont

...unhibited joy... For two hours last Friday (May 21) and a few days after, we forgot completely about the oil spill, 9.9 percent unemployment, the seemingly endless war in Afghanistan, the poisonous political atmosphere in Washington D.C., etc., and instead we focused on the uninhibited joy that the Burr and Burton students’ per-

formance in “Godspell” offered us. Last year we declared their performance of “A Chorus Line” the best high school presentation we had ever experienced. We now say, “Move over, ‘Chorus Line’ you have met your match.” It’s uplifting and reassuring to know we have such wonderful young women and men amongst us. The future looks brighter because of their presence. Kudos also go to Jim Raposa, Fran Marino, Neil Freeburn, the musicians and stage hands for affording us performances worthy of Broadway. — Pam and Hal DeBona Dorset, Vermont ____________________

He holds degrees in organ, musicology and theology from Castleton State College, Ball University, and St. John’s University.

FROM MY CORNER — by Susan J. Coons ...give the guy a break... President Obama, as we all know, inherited a terrible mess. This country was heavily involved in two wars, Wall Street was collapsing, unemployment was skyrocketing, banks were folding, and health care was in crisis. Even before he took the oath of office, Obama was working with then President George W. Bush to stop a catastrophic crash of Wall Street and pull national banks out of bankruptcy. I don’t know when he sleeps! He devours a mass of information daily to stay on top of all situations around the world; takes phone calls; has meetings; confronts crisis after crisis; meets with legislators on both sides of the aisle; manages to be a father and husband; meets with government officials around the United States and globally, and much more. Some of the President’s critics are complaining that the President takes too many vacation days. They have to be kidding! In his first year as President, Obama took 26 vacation days, while former President Bush took 69 days of vacation in his first year. President Obama visited Camp David, Maryland 11 times in his first year for a total of 27 days (less than 2.5 days per visit) with Bush in his first year visiting Camp David, Maryland 25 times for a total of 78 days (slightly over 3 days per visit). The pundits are mumbling about the fact that Obama attended a 90minute White House concert where Paul McCartney celebrated winning the Gershwin Prize. They don’t think it was appropriate when we are facing the tragic oil crisis in the Gulf. Our President is everywhere! How can they chastise him for spending an evening at home? He lives at the White House and he had company! Give the guy a break! Throughout his presidency, George Bush spent 490 days at his Crawford, Texas ranch and 487 days at Camp David, Maryland for a total of 977 days of vacation meaning that he took 2 and 2/3 years of vacation while president for eight years. These figures are from various sources on the Internet, so I can’t swear my life on them, but I’m sure they’re close enough to the truth. I know that I’ll hear from a few readers who will disagree with me. But, the picture is clear: President Obama is very, very busy cleaning up the mess he was left and trying to get our country moving forward. He confronts every crisis facing him by reaching out to the most knowledgeable people for information and discussion. He’s working all day long, and I have to wonder if he ever sleeps. For crying out loud, give the guy a break! Susanism: Remember to share your beautiful smile!

Local Interior Designer and Her Daughter Volunteer Abroadin India

Amy Thebault who is a local interior designer in Manchester, Vermont, and her daughter Lily Thebault who is a student at Maple Street school, will volunteer their time and services on a three-week volunteer program in India starting on June 11 and ending July 4. They are enrolled in an international program called Cross-Cultural Solutions, a non-profit organization that operates volunteer programs around the world. Amy and Lily will work side-by-side with local people who provide education, health and social services to underserved communities. When asked why Amy and Lily decided to volunteer their time Amy responded that she “wanted to expose Lily and myself to foreign cultures outside of our idyllic Vermont life. Volunteer tourism is a great way to see the world on a budget while connecting with local people and customs. Helping to impact positive changes in others’ lives along the way makes the adventure all the more fulfilling.” June 9, 2010

On behalf of the full company, Burr and Burton Academy seniors who were in the school’s recent production of “Godspell” presented a check for over $2000 to three students from Haiti currently attending Burr and Burton. The funds were raised by selling signed posters and asking for donations during the show’s run last week and will be donated to the Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund. Every year the company raises money for a particular charity. For the past two years they have donated over $5000 to Broadway Cares but this year in light of the devastating earthquake in Haiti the students decided to donate the money to Haiti.

Green Mountain Academy Presents Dostoevsky’s ‘The Brothers Karamazov’

Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning presents Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov with Williams College professor Julie Cassiday on Wednesday, June 30 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Equinox Village in Manchester Center, Vermont. Widely hailed as one of the greatest novels ever written, “The Brothers Karamazov” contains a series of enigmas, not the least of which is precisely who murdered the Karamazov father. In addition to exploring the shared guilt of all four of the brothers Karamazov in the crime of patricide, Dostoevsky poses the most probing philosophical questions of his age: are families tied together merely by blood or by deeper spiritual bonds? Is religious faith possible in an age of reason, science, and technology? Can man’s earthly laws ever carry out divine justice? Is humanity prepared to bear the burden of responsibility that comes with freedom? Our discussion of Dostoevsky’s masterwork will include his answers to these so-called “accursed questions,” as well as the unique artistic form of “The Brothers Karamazov.” Those who would like to read the novel in preparation for the class should use the version translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky (Vintage Books, 1991), while those who are interested in a brief but important excerpt should read the chapter entitled “The Grand Inquisitor” (pages 246-265 in the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation). Julie Cassiday is a professor of Russian and chair of the Department of German and Russian at Williams College. Although her research focuses on Russian theater and cinema, she teaches courses on the full range of Russian literature, including the great novelists Tolstoy and Dostoevsky.

How to Begin Writing and Preserving One’s Life Story – Now!

How often have you thought about writing down your life story or the story of a loved one… only to put it off one more time, not sure how to start or what to say? Whether it’s capturing pearls of wisdom from the older generation or penning personal thoughts about a life well lived, now’s the time to get going by attending “Preserving One’s Life Story: Jump-Starting the Process” which will be held on Tuesday, June 22 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Israel Congregation of Manchester. This program is free and the public is cordially invited to participate. In this interactive program, Rosalie Fox will share strategies that inspire people to open up and begin the exciting process of putting their oral histories down on paper. A member of the Association of Personal Historians, she tapped her three decades of professional experience — focused on interviewing and writing about people and programs in the business, government, non-profit, and social change sectors — to record the histories of her own family members. As an adjunct Instructor of Sociology, she will be guiding her summer school students to capture the stories of seniors in an assisted living facility in Rutland. Rosalie is a former Executive Director of Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning. Israel Congregation is located on Main Street/Route 7A North and is accessible to those living with disabilities.

Film and Discussion Event Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture

��

Experience the moving lecture that generated a national bestselling book and inspired millions to believe in the power of achieving their childhood dreams. Rutland Area Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice and Rutland Regional Medical Center will host a film and discussion event based on Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture” on Thursday, June 24 from 4-6 p.m., at the CVPS/Leahy Community Education Center at 160 Allen Street in Rutland. In September of 2007, Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch delivered a one-of-a-kind last lecture,“Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” that became an Internet sensation viewed by millions, an international media story, and a best-selling book that has been published in 35 languages. Pausch, the father of three young children, had recently received a terminal cancer diagnosis, and through humor, inspiration and intelligence examined the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, and of seizing every moment. This film is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. An RSVP to 770-1537 or rcohn@ravnah.org is preferred but not required.

Nature Notes — by Bonnie Dundas

Dick and I witnessed brawling Black-capped Chickadees and Tree Swallows in our yard this week. The swallows had been here earlier in the month flying in and out of the bird houses, but when the weather turned cold, they disappeared as they are wont to do. In their absence, the chickadees decided one of the houses would be perfect for them. When the swallows returned, the battle was on! As much as I enjoy watching Tree Swallows darting over the pond, my (Continued on page 34)

(Nature Notes, cont.) heart was with the chickadees. Alas, they lost the battle and will have to ﬁnd other suitable housing. Jack the rooster wakes us up every morning around six o’clock wondering where his breakfast is, but the early morning birdsong has �� been muted here this spring. We �� know birds are nesting as we see �� them frequently. I can still hear �� the Black and White Warblers �� (high pitch) and drumming � � � �� Ruffed Grouse (low pitch) so I � � �� don’t think it’s my hearing. I have been cutting back on my feeder supplies, so perhaps I just need to fill everything up again and see what happens. Lisa Peterson wrote to say she �� has seen an Indigo Bunting at �� her house. Scott has a pair nesting near his house. Lucky people! �� We have not seen one even at the �� feeders. Wendy Ivie is hearing a �� bird at her house that she is try�� ing to identify. According to her �� it calls wheateater, wheateater.

There has been some discussion about brown colored Hairy Woodpeckers on the Vermont Bird List. Amy Stroffoleno sent me a picture of what looks like a brown-fronted Downy Woodpecker at her feeders. Elizabeth Leonard called to ask for the formula for feeding hummingbirds. It’s usually four to one (one cup white sugar to four cups water). Do not use honey or other sweeteners as it is thought to be harmful to hummingbirds. Remember to clean your feeders often. My peonies are in full bloom as are the Miss Kim Lilacs, the Tree Lilac, the Fringe Tree, irises, daylilies, dianthus, valerian, Dame’s Rocket and buttercups. A beautiful Red Fox visited our yard this week in the middle of the day. I’m sure the chickens (well-penned – I hope) hold a strong attraction. I haven’t seen evidence of skunks lately – also another local inhabitant that appreciates chickens and eggs. Can’t say I miss the smell or the digging up of the lawn. Look for Jupiter in the pre-dawn sky and with binoculars, look to its left to see tiny Uranus which looks like a blue-green star. In the evening watch first Venus, then red Mars and then golden Saturn setting in the west. Bootes or the Herdsman can be easily seen in the southeastern sky. Its first magnitude star, Arcturus is one of the first stars to be seen in the evening. So much to do, so much to see at this time of year. Who will be the first to see lightning bugs? Who will be the first to pick a tomato – out of their garden? Who will be outside to see shooting stars? Enjoy nature. Contact me at 802-447-7433 or cockatielvt@yahoo.com.
