There are moments in American history that every-one knows from their text-books like the Revolution-ary War or the Civil Rights Movement.

But there are events from America’s past that have yet to be explored. Author and journalist Isabel Wilkerson spent 15 years recovering stories of African-Americans fleeing the South during the Great Migration, one of the underreported stories in United States history.

Wilkerson, author of The Warmth of Other Suns, said without uncovering these stories, seeing the world through the eyes of others — and empathizing with their journeys — it is impossible to rid the underlying racial and ethnic segregation that still exists in America today.

At 10:45 a.m. today in the Amphitheater, Wilkerson will discuss where the U.S. stands on racism and the “uncon-scious caste system” that the country has fallen into since the Civil Rights Act “eradicat-ed” segregation in 1964.

Wilkerson does not believe that the term “racism” accu-rately describes the current state of development in the U.S. She said it is much more complex than that.

“Everyone has such a strong feeling about what racism is and isn’t, and it can actually get in the way of moving forward because people don’t agree on what the definition is,” she said. “The term ‘caste system,’ for me, is more relevant in de-scribing the multiple levels and layers that our country’s hierarchy of ethnicities, col-ors, genders and national

origins get bound up in.”Wilkerson’s July 18 op-ed

piece in The New York Times, “Our Racial Moment of Truth,” relates the new Harp-er Lee novel Go Set a Watchman to recent events in America. The book reveals the fictional character, Atticus Finch, may not have been the moral hero that Lee’s classic To Kill a Mock-ingbird made him out to be, which caused a “reassessment of who we were and what we might become.”

“Coming to terms with Atticus Finch as Harper Lee originally imagined him to be means confronting what the country wishes to be-lieve it stands for,” Wilkerson wrote in the Times.

Although laws have been changed, there are uncon-scious biases embedded in America’s history that influ-ence the thoughts, beliefs and actions of its citizens. Wilkerson relates these bi-ases to the recent document-ed cases of police brutality against unarmed African-Americans and the massa-cre of nine parishioners at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Judaism has a history that spans more than 3,000 years, and it is disappearing.

At least, that’s the case with traditional forms of Jew-ish identity. But, according to Lawrence A. Hoffman, new Jewish forms of identity are also forming.

Hoffman, the Barbara and Stephen Friedman Profes-sor of Liturgy, Worship and Ritual at Hebrew Union Col-lege, will discuss these pat-terns of emergence and dis-appearance at 2 p.m. today in the Hall of Philosophy. His lecture is titled “Beyond Eth-nicity: Religion for an Age of Anxious Identity.”

Before the 1960s, Judaism was not only a religion, but a deeply felt ethnic identity, Hoffman said.

“We knew quite firmly who and what we were,” he said. “Judaism was not just a

faith, but a family, a certain kind of food, remembering the old country.”

However, this ethnic iden-tity began to fade after three generations, when children were be born to parents who had no direct connection with their family’s national roots and traditions, Hoffman said.

The 33 miners trapped 2,300 feet underground in the Copiapó, Chile, mining accident of 2010 faced an un-bearable burden. In the final days be-fore their rescue, they worked out an agreement to pass on that burden, and their story, to someone they trusted to tell it.

That person was Héctor Tobar.Tobar is a Pulitzer Prize-winning

journalist and a novelist. He also speaks Spanish. Those were the crite-ria decided upon by the literary agency handling the miners’ story when they were trying to find an author, and To-bar just so happened to meet all three.

“I was just fortunate that I was one of those few people who met that list of qualities,” Tobar said.

Tobar told their story in Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle that Set Them Free, which is one of two Chau-tauqua Literary and Scientific Circle selections for Week Six. Tobar will discuss his work today at 3:30 p.m. in the Hall of Philosophy for Week Six’s CLSC Roundtable.

Sherra Babcock, vice president and Emily and Richard Smucker Chair for Education, said when she read the book, it felt like a natural choice for Week Six, the theme of which is “Van-ishing.”

“It goes wonderfully with the week on vanishing, because they didn’t van-ish and could have,” Babcock said.

Besides the more obvious “vanish-ing” of the miners, Tobar said another aspect of vanishing in the book he wanted to portray was the idea of the plight of laborers “not being seen.”

“It’s something that is among poor people in Latin America — their la-bor is essential to the function of the economy, but in many cases we don’t see how they suffer in that labor,” To-

bar said. “And so these men would lit-erally vanish from the face of the earth every day, into the mountain, and the conditions in which they worked were never really part of the debate in Chil-ean society about inequality.”

The miners worked in very rough conditions: high heat and high humid-ity, with the temperature often being so high that they couldn’t eat, Tobar said.

“This is something that was invis-ible to people until this accident took place,” Tobar said. “And then, for 69 days, we didn’t know if they were alive — they’d disappeared into the earth.”

In the years that have passed since the accident and rescue, the miners have been forgotten in a way again — mostly because they became global celebrities when they were rescued, Tobar said.

“And now, apart from the book, many people have forgotten what they went through,” he said. “I think the men feel that way in Chile, where they’ve gone from being national ce-lebrities and heroes, to people not re-ally treating them with respect and treating them with ridicule.”

Pianist Baryshevskyi, CSOto deliver musical statement tonight

theaterlike

MoRGan kinney | Staff Writer

According to Antonii Baryshevskyi, practice does not necessarily make perfect.

“The very simple rule is that ev-erybody must practice,” he said. “But it’s not enough. You have to think about what you want to say with your music.”

Baryshevskyi will make such a statement at 8:15 p.m. tonight in the Amphitheater with Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 16. The Chautauqua Symphony Orches-tra rounds out the evening performance with Anna Clyne’s “Masquerade” and Tchaikovsky’s Sympho-ny No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17.

Baryshevskyi is a rising star in the piano world, having won numerous competitions, including the prestigious Arthur Rubinstein Competition in 2014. This will be the artist’s first visit to Chautauqua In-stitution, and one that directly mirrors the debut of pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk, another Ukrainian virtuoso who first appeared in the Amp shortly af-ter taking home top honors at the Rubinstein Com-petition in 2005.

Now in his late 20s, Baryshevsky has been a ca-reer pianist since age 7. His parents were not musi-cians, but they were more than encouraging when

he was a child in Ukraine. Eventually, Bary-shevskyi enrolled in a special music school in Kiev, which further accelerated his stud-ies.

Since then, he has won more than 20 com-petitions and, even in the crowded field of concert piano, he said there is something very clear that separates good players from great players.

“A very big problem nowadays is how people play just notes — just take care of playing all the right dynamics, notes, and so on,” he said. “But you need to think what the music says, what ideas you should produce playing this music. It should be like theater.”

That approach lends itself to the Prokofiev he plays tonight. Dedicated to one of the composer’s close friends who died by suicide, the piece carries complex, intricate ideas that Baryshevskyi hopes to articulate.

“This is one of my favorite concertos — out-standing, even for Prokofiev,” he said. “This mu-sic is very tragic, very plaintive, also very macabre with black humor.”

NEWS FROM AROUND THE GROUNDS

Briefly

KARA TAYLORStaff Writer

Ready to go out with a bang, the Chautauqua Opera Company’s Young Artists have gathered their favorite repertoire from American and French composers for the final “Artsongs in the Afternoon” recital of the sea-son at 4:15 p.m. today in the Hall of Christ.

This week’s recital, “An American in Paris,” offers music that touches on life’s key moments such as love and loss. The first half of the recital is French and the sec-ond half is in English.

Mezzo-soprano Stephanie Feigenbaum will perform a set titled “Love After 1950” by American female com-poser Libby Larsen. Each piece within the cycle is set to the text of a female poet.

“I think it’s awesome be-cause so many of the com-posers performed are men, so one of the really special things to me about this set is all of the texts were written by a female poet,” she said. “I think it is a unique look at love in a modern-day female perspective.”

The five songs have noth-ing to do with one another, Feigenbaum said, but rather tell the overall experience of living and loving. Larsen was born in 1950 and is es-sentially describing her life experience.

Fiegenbaum said Larsen’s piece “Boy’s Lips” describes being a young girl and lay-ing in the backyard with friends. Suddenly, someone says, “Hey everybody, let me

tell you what a boy’s lips feel like. I had my first kiss.’”

“Another song in the set is called ‘Big Sister Says,’ and this is all about the things women do for beauty, which I think is so funny and so telling,” Feigenbaum said. “The pieces are inspired by different styles of dance such as blues and tango.”

Bass-baritone Robert Nicholas Boragno is excit-ed to sing repertoire of his choosing for this recital.

“I think that we are all doing music that we re-ally wanted to do, and that makes for an ideal concert of passion — it is the end of the program and we get to make up our own rules,” Boragno said.

Boragno will sing French composer Jacques Ibert’s “Chansons de Don Quichotte.”

“The cycle is four songs and they are all really beauti-ful,” he said. “The first three songs focus on Dulcinee, his love interest. The last song is the death of Don Quichotte [Don Quixote] — he actually dies in the song on the last note.”

The pieces are exception-al, he said, but they are not

performed often, so attend-ees might be looking for-ward to hearing them.

Baritone Richard Cole-man is singing a traditional spiritual titled “Give Me Je-sus” and American compos-er Lee Hoiby’s “Last Letter Home.”

“I chose things about be-ing an American that mean a lot to me,” Coleman said. “I have heard this particular spiritual in church my whole life and been singing it my whole life.”

“Last Letter Home” de-picts a soldier’s letter written while serving in Iraq, he said. The letter was sent home and could only be opened if the soldier died.

“The man in this song ac-tually died, so the last words were to his wife, son and unborn child — it gets re-ally deep,” he said. “When people have family in the military, not everyone comes back, and this is a real per-son, a real family and real lives.”

Coleman said the spiri-tual is accompanied by a violinist, and both songs are very emotional for him. But he has to switch gears and get happy for the “An Ameri-can in Paris” pieces.

Vocal coach and pianist Jamison Livsey will accom-pany the Young Artists dur-ing their last recital. Along with the individual French and English sets performed by the artists, duets are fea-tured and a performance of songs from the produc-tion “An American in Paris” takes place at the end.

Over the next two days, Chautauqua Institution President Tom Becker will appear in two public forums that will focus on the future of Chautauqua’s centerpiece Amphitheater.

At 8 a.m. Friday in the Hall of Philosophy, the last of six Institution-sponsored public dialogues is expect-ed to cover preservation as it pertains to the Amp and Chautauqua’s National Historic Landmark District status overall. The federal arbiter for historic preser-vation is the Department of the Interior’s National Park Service, whose chief of pres-ervation assistance for the Northeast, Bonnie Halda, will join Becker.

Halda’s two-day March visit to Chautauqua and sub-sequent April report made two principal recommenda-tions. These were to engage a leading historic preserva-tion structural engineering firm to assess the current structural integrity of the Amp, and the possibilities of a historical rehabilitation of the facility, and to convene a panel of eminent local and regional preservationists to identify key character-defin-ing qualities of the current structure that should be re-tained in any future Amphi-theater.

As Halda returns to help guide Friday’s Amp meeting, Chautauquans can expect to receive shortly more detailed information than what has been available from both the structural engineers and the preservationists. No further Friday public meetings are presently scheduled on the Amp project.

At 9 a.m. Saturday in the Hall of Philosophy, the Chau-tauqua Property Owners As-sociation will hold its 2015 annual business meeting. At 10 a.m. is the annual meeting of the Chautauqua Corpora-tion, followed immediately by the Open Forum hosted by the Institution’s board of trustees. Most expect that the future of the Amphithe-ater will be the primary dis-cussion topic.

Steadily Increasing Public Engagement

The Institution’s ongo-ing Monday Amp tours and Wednesday sessions on his-tory and performance ex-perience have seen steady crowds. As the Friday public dialogue sessions unfolded, attendance rose to exceed the capacity of the Hall of Christ.

The Friday Hall of Philos-ophy meeting will bring to a close a six-part series of pub-lic meetings on the future of the Amp.

Becker laid the founda-tion for the summer sessions when he reported to proper-ty owners in January that he had asked the board of trust-ees to postpone a decision on the Amp project to permit the dialogue that has taken place this summer.

Spirited Debate

To some observers, the increasingly animated ex-changes that have charac-terized the Friday sessions have centered on the conflict between the Institution’s as-serted vision for the next 100 years and a sense among some members of the com-munity that they have not been heard.

The Institution has been presenting its vision for the Amphitheater to the community as plans have evolved since Serena Sturm Architects, Ltd., was selected to lead the project in 2011. Many around the grounds will recall the briefings in the Amp and in the library over several seasons conducted by former Chautauqua official Charlie Heinz and current John Shedd, director of op-erations and administrator

of Architectural and Land Use Regulations. Numerous study and advisory groups collected input from com-munity members. A model of the proposed new Amp has been on display in Smith Memorial Library lobby for three years.

But for many, a process of collaborative, transpar-ent engagement between the administration and the community was fractured by reports first surfacing at the end of last summer. A project that had been devel-oped as a historic rehabilita-tion had become instead a demolition, with an entirely new building rising in place of the Amp, which has stood for more than 120 years.

Construction consultants advised for many reasons — cost, time and worker safety primary among them — maintaining the project as a historical rehabilita-tion would be impractical at best and nearly impossible at worst, administrators said.

On several occasions, the Institution did not handle the flow of information well as the project began to evolve, Becker said. What the Institution regards as an oversight was perceived by some as deception. Toward the end of 2014, there was sufficient discord that Becker proposed the delay in imple-menting the project to allow this summer’s dialogue.

Board of Trustees

Chautauqua Institution Board of Trustees Chairman Jim Pardo spoke to the com-munity in an open letter in the spring 2015 Chautauquan. He affirmed the board’s role as final decision-maker for any Amp project, and de-scribed the board as having been “closely involved in the process surrounding the Amphitheater project.”

Pardo said the board’s role is to “hear different perspec-tives of Chautauquans and decide on a plan of action that … best balances com-peting views while substan-tially achieving the project’s fundamental goals. … This will require the board to make choices — many of which may prove hard rath-er than easy and complex rather than simple.”

The board of trustees has been visibly represented at all the Friday sessions this summer, as well as at Mon-day tours and Wednesday information sessions as well. The board is scheduled to deliberate on the Amp proj-ect at its next regular meet-ing Aug. 29.

‘We have heard you’

Shedd has often com-mented this summer that the administration has listened to and taken into account community input since the project began. He ticked off some examples that came to mind.

“We heard from the com-munity often about their concern that the Amp proj-ect could not be completed in one off-season,” Shedd said. “We found that we agreed. We have altered our planning. The overall sched-ule was changed to what we are now calling an 18-month schedule. The plan, if the board gives the green light, calls for much more prelimi-nary work to proceed prior to the 2016 season so we have a better chance to finish the job prior to the 2017 season.”

Preliminary jobs would include site prep work; con-crete and steel prefabrica-tion; mechanical, plumbing and electrical preparations; securing the proper insur-ance, and staging some ma-terials across Route 394 on Institution-owned property.

“The plan for the [back-of-house] was significantly redesigned to meet the com-munity’s aesthetic concerns,” Shedd said. “We have incor-porated more historic char-

acteristics in the design for the [back-of-house]. Also, we are likely to change the side walls of the orchestra seat-ing area to reduce the height and improve the appearance to match the historic seat-ing patterns. This came from community input, too.”

Other changes Shedd cited were more aesthetic details in support columns to match existing details; switching back to center handrails in the aisles instead of railings at the end of each bench; changing the stage back wall to improve acoustics; still trying to figure out how to keep Peters Bridge in the picture; and reviewing again the routes construction ve-hicles might take in and out of the grounds. He also said retaining part of the current roof structure is still on the administration’s wish list for contractors.

One longtime Chautau-quan said the administration and the community are “like a married couple. Communi-cation is a key — maybe the key — for a successful mar-riage. And communication involves sharing, acknowl-edgement and action. The In-stitution has spent the sum-mer trying to restore that essential communication.”

Summer Dialogues

George Murphy, vice president and chief market-ing officer, has statistics on how many Chautauquans attended the Institution’s weekly tours, historical and programmatic reviews and Friday dialogues.

“So far, we’ve attracted 1,604 altogether to our ses-sions,” Murphy said. “The numbers varied from week to week, but it was gratify-ing that by far our biggest turnout was for [the July 31] public input session.”

Shedd said the Monday Amp and library model tours invariably surprised attendees, especially about the run-down nature of the back-of-house.

“I can’t count the number of people who thanked me and said they had no idea how bad things have got-ten,” he said.

Similarly, Institution ar-chivist and historian Jon Schmitz’s Wednesday his-torical reviews were well received, as were accompa-nying panel discussions in-volving Marty Merkley, vice president and director of programming, and a rotat-ing cast of artistic directors.

The Fridays started con-tentiously in a preseason ses-sion for property owners and remained intermittently frac-tious throughout the season.

Because many Chautau-quans were not able to attend

multiple Friday sessions, questions were repeated from one meeting to another. Examples were construction traffic concerns, the fate of Peters Bridge, compliance with federal requirements for the disabled, the depth of and need for an orchestra pit, sightlines and perimeter concourses in a new Amp, acoustics, seating capacity, ventilation and air flow, and groundwater relocation.

Some events and infor-mation stood out. Following repeated calls by the Com-mittee for the Preservation of the Historic Chautauqua Amphitheater for an appear-ance by its consulting archi-

tect before one of the Friday meetings, Dirk Schneider of CJS Architects stood beside Institution lead architect Marty Serena for almost all of the Week Four session, comparing and contrasting their visions for the Amp.

Shedd presented accumu-lating evidence of structural deterioration of the Amp. Since the Institution began measuring 17 years ago, several of the steel columns — which ring the bowl and support the roof structure — have slipped downhill, the bottoms moving as much as 6 inches in the direction of the lake while the tops remained in place. And while consult-

ing structural engineers de-clared the Amp safe for the summer, the Institution will now install steel X-braces across the bowl in the off-sea-son to buttress the roof struc-ture against the ravages of Chautauqua wind and snow.

What is Past is Preamble

The administration and the community have now come to the end of the formal public dialogue on a project which is by far the largest capital project ever proposed for Chautauqua. Meetings and events this weekend should have a strong influ-ence on the path ahead.

gogue 3000] was that we needed to challenge syna-gogues to look more close-ly at what they were and consider more deeply whatneededtochange,”Hoffmansaid. “much of what I do in the classroom [at HebrewUnion College] is encourage the courage to encourage [the development] of a vi-sionofwhatstillmightbe.”A large portion of Hoff-

man’s vision of Judaism’sfuture is the use of the syn-agogue congregation as a means of creating an iden-

tity formembers inapost-ethnic society. “Religious communities

can now provide a post-ethnic anchor for identity at averydeeplevel,”Hoffmansaid. “our identity today is very complex and varie-gated, so one has to imag-ine a deep level of identity that has been called ‘moralspace.’ religion provides that.”Though Hoffman’s lec-

ture will provide a Jewishperspective on these issues, he said, theproblems facedby synagogues are also faced by other religions as they adjust to the changing

needs of the 21st century’s faithful.However,recogniz-ing these shared challenges requires a willingness to seek out new perspectives.

“I’ve had the good fortune of teaching at Hebrew Union College, which encouraged metobehonestandtolearnfromasmanypeopleaspos-sible,” Hoffman said. “I’vealso learned that we reli-gious sorts hang out with each other to the point where we forget that the rest of the world isn’t like us. [We need to determine] how do wemaketheirconversationourconversation, and our con-versation theirs?”

“Because we have be-comesoaccustomedtothisas our reality, we often don’t question why things are the way they are,” she said.The number of people

killed at the hands of po-lice in other developed countries in europe and Asia are far less than in the U.S., and Wilkersonsaid if Americanswere tolook at the country fromthe outside, they would beappalledatsomeofthethings that occur.

However, there have al-ways been and will continue to be people who push past the boundaries set by color and caste, Wilkerson said. Empathy — rather thansympathy — for another’sexperiences can challenge those unconscious biases.

“I truly believe that if an individual can get in-side the skin and inside the heart of another hu-manbeingandseewhatitisliketobeanotherhumanbeing then and only then cantrueempathy,compas-sion and understanding occur,” she said.

Wilkerson has seen this since the release of The Warmth of Other Suns, which was a Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle selec-tion in 2011. Although the three protagonists are Af-rican-American, Wilkersonhas received letters frompeople of all races and back-grounds who related to the characters’ struggles. The

book,shesaid,ismoreaboutpeople who want to be free, notjustAfrican-Americans.

“As they were reading, they cried, felt fearful and cared about these people that society told they had nothing in commonwith,”she said.

for The Warmth of Oth-er Suns, Wilkerson inter-viewed more than 1,200people and traveled all across the country to learn their stories and uncover the untold stories of the people who took part in the great migration. Unfor-tunately, none of the three protagonists lived to see the book published, but one said he would be “copy edit-ingfromheaven,”shesaid.“It was my honor to be

able to get to spend that time with them and forthem to have the trust inmetoshareexperiencesthatwere so painful that somehad not even told their chil-dren,” Wilkerson said.

The Warmth of Other Suns is only an example of theuntold and undercovered storiesofAmerica’shistory.There is still much Ameri-cans have to learn about themselves as a country,Wilkerson said.

“The last few years are a reminderthatthereisatre-mendous amount of workto be done,” she said. “We as a country had come tobelieve that all of this had been settled and in the past two years have shown us that what we thought had vanished had actually never disappeared.”

Tobar said depicting those multiple meanings of van-ishing and invisibility was importanttohimwhenwrit-ing, and he hopes that it’s ex-plicit in Deep Down Dark.“My mission as a writer

is to conjure them from theether of forgetfulness and bring them back into thememory of the reader,” hesaid.Peg Snyder, manager of

the CLSC Veranda, saidthat she was struck by how gripping Tobar’s book was, despite it being a story that mostknowtheendingofal-ready. She said shewas ini-tially skeptical about how it would work narratively.“Butthisbookissomuch

more detailed about theirlives,andthat’swhatmakesit so interesting,” Snydersaid. “You really get the feel-ing of what a frightening experience that is— they’remeeting death, and theydon’t know if they’re going to escape.”Babcocksaidshewasim-

pressed by Tobar’s handling of the stories of 33 characters as well as his willingness to not hold back in his depic-tionsoftheminersandtheirrelationships both above and below ground.

“It’s just so sensitive and so respectful, and it also is very thrilling,” Babcock said. “Because we know what happened: they got out. Butwhenyou’reinthemidstof the book, you don’t know whether they’re going to get

out or not. It’s that gripping.”Tobar said juggling a

story with 33 points of view and trying to turn it into a “single, coherent narrative” was one of the hardest parts of writing the book. The world’s familiarity with thestory as a piece of news was somethinghehadtocontendwith as well.“The challengewasmak-

ing people see the real hu-manbeingswhoweredownthere, making people careabout them,” Tobar said.“That’s really what I put a lot of writing elbow grease into —givingpeopleanovelistic-style portrait of these menandtheirfamilies.”

Before he could create that portrait, though, Tobar had toearnthetrustofthemin-ers, which he said he felt like he had to do every time hemetwiththem.“Ihadtomakethemtrust

me, because it’s about hav-ing people tell you not just anadventurestory—Iwasinterested in knowing emo-tionally what that experience was like,” Tobar said. “And I think that people have to trust you before they’ll open up to you.”As the miners began to

open up to Tobar, he began to realizetheenormouschargehe was experiencing as the conduit for their story.

“once they shared their story with me and I couldseehow important thiswasto them, I just felt a realsense of responsibility,” To-bar said. “I had to tell this story and tell it quickly, and Iknewthatmymissionwasto complete a work of nar-

rative art that people would want to read, but I also knew thatIcouldn’treallytakemytime. I couldn’t linger on ittoomuch.”

Tobar said the responsibil-ity he felt tofinish the bookinatimelymannerpropelledhimforward,andhewasableto write it in just under three years — faster than any ofhis other books. He said he doesn’t get to talk about his writing process that often, so he’s excited to speak to people who “read widely” at Chautauqua Institution.“I’m someone who is in

between fiction and nonfic-tion—I’mcurrentlywritinga novel, which is my fifthbook and my third novel,”Tobar said. “So that placebetween nonfiction and fic-tion, and between art and journalismis,tome,areallyinteresting place. So I’m ex-cited to talk to an audience about that.”Hemight also talk about

the “great truth” he learned in the process of writing the

bookandtalkingtothemin-ers.“These are men who are

trapped 2,000 feet below the ground in a metaphorfordeath—they’reinavir-tual tomb underground, ofstone,” Tobar said.

Tobar said their literal life-and-death situation gave them time to reflectand think. While Tobar was dealing with 33 subjects, he said that a common themebecameapparentintheirsto-ries: the centrality of love in their lives.

“They think about those things as the best things theydid in their lives— toloveandtogive life to fam-ily,”Tobarsaid.“That,tome,is a central truth of the book. And I think in talking to the miners,thatistheonetruththeylearnedfromallofthis:how sacred that is, and that it really is the best thing about us as people, and that it’s more important than any-thing elsewemight accom-plish in life.”

As a Master Gardener and landscape painter, I looked forward to visiting the winning gardens in the Bird, Tree & Garden Club’s biennial recognition awards. It did not turn out as I expected.

The Sunny Garden of the Year was clearly an installation by a professional landscaping company. Earlier in the week I was part of a Garden Tour by BTG that stopped there; the owner had no idea what plants had been put in and had to run off to find a plant list with which he clearly had no famil-iarity. The place should have been disqualified.

The next stop was the place that won both the Shade Gar-den and the Eco-friendly Garden awards. The shade garden was an uninspired collection of hostas, heucheras and hy-drangeas — the three “H’s” widely known as last resorts of the desperate shade gardener. The so-called eco-friendly gar-den showed no signs of rain gardens, rain barrels or other contemporary practices to retain and use stormwater. BTG seems to think that “eco-friendly” consists of going to a near-by garden supply store and buying as many birdbaths and bird and hummingbird and squirrel feeders as you can stuff into your car, then planting them out in the garden. Period.

The Container Award went to a beautiful and worthy gar-den. The only problem for me was that I had noticed it last year and already painted it!

Next time I suggest BTG enroll a new set of judges — people who value light and color and the sense of the owner’s spe-cial touch in the garden. They should look for those who take chances with what will grow in the shade. They should bone up on what “eco-friendly” means these days. And they should limit applicants to true gardeners who have done all the work!

We’ve started selling prime seats for special events at the Amp, and it’s generating much-needed revenue without un-duly inconveniencing those who won’t or can’t pay extra.

So why not take the strategy to the max?1. In 2016, extend preferred seating to all events at the

Amp including religious services.2. In 2017, implement preferred seating in all venues, from

the Hall of Philosophy to Elizabeth S. Lenna Hall and the cinema. Money will roll in, and the better-off who supply it may benefit by added proximity and opportunities to con-nect with those of similar means.

3. In 2018, go beyond seating. At Disney parks, wealthier visitors can avoid long lines by paying extra. Similarly, Chau-tauquans with Gold access cards could go to the front of the line for ice cream cones, coffee, book signings, anything. Other extra-fee opportunities include Gold-card-only access to prime walking paths, swimming and boating areas, and trams.

4. In 2019–24, establish an inner gated area for Gold-card Chautauquans only. The exclusive region would include the Amp, Hall of Philosophy, Bestor Plaza and all lakefront prop-erty. We would then have, in effect, the world’s first gated community within a gated community! Some might object that this plan is anti-egalitarian. Segregating by sex or race would be unthinkable, but there’s no taboo against segregat-ing by wealth. In fact it’s in vogue and on the rise, so what’s stopping us? And what other funding options do we have?

5. In 2025 and beyond, export our double-gated model to other gated communities everywhere. The world needs redi-rection, and this has always taken place through a three-class system — elite, middle class and peasant — with control con-centrated at the top. Chautauqua can do its part by showing how to further separate people, add privilege to the already privileged, and take the economic class system to the next level.

After spending 38 weeks here over the last 17 years, my family and I have grown to love so much about Chautauqua, and we want to say a special thank you to Gary Snyder and his wonderful team at the John R. Turney Sailing Center. All three of my children have learned to sail under his watch, from the beginner Optimist classes for my 8-year-olds, to the adult classes for my teens. We have rented countless Scots and Sunfish over the years, and I cannot say enough good things about the spirit of fun, collaboration, safety and pure love of sailing that permeates the entire program. For those of you who want to give it a try, this top-tier program is the place to be and a true Chautauqua treasure.

To The ediTor:

On July 31 the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, under Karina Canellakis, gave a spirited performance of Robert Schumann’s Third Symphony, subtitled “Rhenish.” The Ro-mantic idealism of another age was recreated so all could hear its fresh, hopeful message.

Interestingly, Schumann has long been criticized for his technique of orchestration … his choice of instruments to play the music. In fact, early in my performing career — in the last century — it was fashionable for conductors and composers to re-score Schumann to make him sound “bet-ter” — or so they thought. Today, we no longer do that; we accept Schumann’s quirky orchestration for exactly what it is, and play his notes just as he wrote them.

It was also fashionable in that century to replace historic buildings. Penn Station in New York City is the most famous example, but there are others. Carnegie Hall came close to demolition in 1960 after the New York Philharmonic moved to Lincoln Center. Fenway Park in Boston was set to be re-placed with a state-of-the-art, higher-earning venue, without all the challenges of a quirky old ballpark. But, in these cases and many others, we thought better of it.

Like Schumann’s symphonies, the 1893 Chautauqua Am-phitheater speaks to us from another age. Its blueprints, its configuration, is the “score” we are obliged to follow if we wish to hear a message from that age. No one is objecting to responsible stewardship of this iconic place — replacing boards and beams and updating dressing rooms — indeed, this is our mandate. But to tear it down and start anew is like re-scoring a symphony. It may be very nice, it may even be “better,” but it simply will not be the same work — or the same place. And unlike a symphony performance, which can have multiple versions, once the current Amp is gone, it is gone forever.

I urge the trustees to work with preservationists to “Save the Amp” and revitalize the heart of Chautauqua, without destroying it.

Roger KazaSt. Louis

To The ediTor:

I have been sorry to hear some comments supporting de-molition of the Amphitheater concluded with misinforma-tion that reflects a profound misunderstanding of what I, and thousands of Chautauquans and many architecture and preservation groups, are fighting for.

We want to upgrade, modernize — while still preserving — a historic structure called the “beating heart of Chautau-qua.” Sadly, it appears the Amphitheater is slated to be torn down and replaced with a replica.

There are alternatives that will improve the Amp’s func-tionality while maintaining its historic authenticity. “Preser-vation” and “replacement” are different. Building something new that only looks authentic veers close to Disneyfication. Mayors of three large cities confided to me that razing their historic architectural gems was a mistake.

Restoration architects have concluded that the Amp can be rehabilitated. People come to Chautauqua not just for its scenic beauty and stimulating programming, but for its physical link to America’s cultural history. Building new will forever sever that link. We might as well recast the Liberty Bell without the crack or rebuild Fallingwater with better waterproofing.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has declared the Chautauqua Amphitheater a “National Treasure” and placed it on the list of America’s “11 Most Endangered His-toric Places.” People all across the country are watching to see whether history is preserved or re-created in Chau-tauqua. Teddy Roosevelt, who spoke in the Amphitheater, described Chautauqua as “a gathering that is typically American in that it is typical of America at its best.” We can improve and save the Amp. People will choose to come to listen, learn and enjoy.

George Vincent, son of co-founder John Heyl Vincent and an Institution president, issued a warning to the trustees in 1901, “There is danger that Chautauqua may become merely a successful resort, thought of by friends as a public enter-prise. This conception of Chautauqua would be fatal to its permanence and success. Let the motto be — Chautauqua, an Institution and an ideal.”

I am writing because I respect your opinion in this matter and because you are open to listening to mine.

Mary Lou McFateSarasota, Fla.

To The ediTor:

After finding yet another inflammatory Amp letter in my mailbox, I feel compelled to write in support of the board and the administration of Chautauqua Institution. They de-serve (and I believe they have) the support of a majority of Chautauquans for the following reasons:

1. The Amp is unsafe. I am youngish and fit, with good balance. Last year after the morning lecture I stepped off a bench platform onto the ramp and broke my leg when my downhill foot slipped. The EMTs told me on the way to the hospital that there is an average of one serious accident per day at the Amp.

2. The board and administration communicated their progress diligently, adequately and accurately last sum-mer (and for a couple of years before). There was no effort to deceive or minimize the impact of the project. (Also, every property owner here knows that a Chautauqua construction project is always more complicated than planned.)

3. The letter-writers seek to use this issue to challenge the Institution’s governance structure, insulting and defaming leadership along the way. Calling for resignations and retire-ments is unbelievably presumptuous, and unworthy of the thoughtful leadership from which we all benefit.

4. A vocal minority claiming that the community is some-how (evenly?) “divided” is a strange distortion that depends on the silence of the much greater number of us who have studied the project and agree with the current assessment. We also love the Amp in its current form.

While I believe an open discussion of the project’s short-comings is necessary and desirable, this apparently well-or-chestrated campaign strikes many of us as a disingenuous and increasingly repellent attack on a unique community that we all treasure.

Persephone Braham6 Vincent

To The ediTor:

I am writing as a lifelong Chautauquan and a professor of architecture who had the opportunity many years ago to design one of the few new buildings in Central Park. It was sited on the remains of one of the original park buildings, so I am intimately familiar with the emotional issues that arise around work in historical settings and the perils of surren-dering to nostalgia.

The “Save the Amp” media operation has created a great deal of unnecessary anxiety and confusion with their use of terminology. I am sure you have heard the adage, “I love this old hammer; I have replaced the head once and the handle four times …,” which I think characterizes the situation we are facing with the Amp. As the very thorough tours that have been offered the last two years demonstrate, there are few specific, original pieces of the Amp to save. What we have is a powerful spatial and acoustic experience that func-tions as the heart of a remarkable community, and it needs help at almost every level. All the deliberations and plans for the renovation of the Amp that I have seen are aimed at en-hancing that experience and preserving its role. Of course we can disagree about the details — I think the footbridge has to be included in the reconstruction — but the Save the Amp slogan is specious at best, insinuating that the reconstruction of the Amp roof is equivalent to a demolition project to make way for a condo tower. The heroic efforts of the early preser-vationists were aimed at those kinds of demolition propos-als, but the results they were seeking was exactly the kind of thoughtful work that is being proposed for the Amp.

With the latest volley of orchestrated mailings (is there a Super PAC involved here?) we can see the focus of the cam-paign shifting, so let me ask them to leave the Amp out of it, and let the leadership get on with rebuilding the Amp for the next 100 years.

William W. Braham6 Vincent

To The ediTor:

Last week I sent a memo to Jim Pardo and Tom Becker which I understand has received dissemination in the com-munity. In my memo I stated my strong opinion that this project should not be deferred another year, but suggested that the plans should be revised to persuade the National Trust for Historic Preservation to remove it from their “en-dangered places” list.

When I discussed this recommendation with a friend who knows more than I about the National Trust, he laughed and said that my proposal was totally unrealistic. He said that the Trust, having made its designation, has moved on to other things. The idea that they might agree in the next few weeks, or even months, to reconsider, let alone withdraw their designation, is ridiculous.

Meanwhile the opponents of the existing plan have pre-sented no alternative for the board to consider. That leaves only the Institution’s plan. It does positively address the es-sential goal of making the Amp fully accessible, safe and functional for today and for future generations. And it is es-sential that we all recognize that, unlike historic places such as Mount Vernon, the Institution’s life does not depend on its past, but on serving Chautauquans for years to come.

To The ediTor:

I spent a purely delightful Week Five once again at Chau-tauqua. Dismay on the stagnant progress of the Amp was my only negative feeling as I watched senior citizens older than my 65 years navigate the steep ramps and try to find an uncomfortable seat climbing over others at events.

I’ve created my own promotional phrase after seeing “Save the Amp” in a window: Ramp Up! Get the safe ADA-com-pliant ramps started, get the Amp replacement project going and on with the progress after sufficient study and education.

Karen DavisWarren, Pa.

To The ediTor:

One of my favorite books is Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. The story is about an African community that had its own customs, laws, religion and way of life. A group of missionaries came into the area and felt that their way of do-ing thing was better and went about changing the life of the village resulting in things falling apart. This story reminds me of what is going on in Chautauqua this summer.

The dialogue about the Amp has been going on in an open and organized manner through three seasons. It is be-yond me to understand what the “Save the Amp” support-ers think the administration is hiding. They are not hiring their relatives to do the work; they are only trying to make a safe, functioning facility. This discussion is not really about the Amp. It is a protest from a group of people who want to change how things are run in Chautauqua. Many of these people have been here for many generations and until now have accepted the way a governance structure their relatives created ran the Institution. Some are more recent homeown-ers who bought, fully knowing how how the Institution was run and now seek major change. In the 1970s things fell apart in Chautauqua, property values plummeted, and the Institu-tion came close to financial collapse. Chautauqua came back through the guidance of many conscientious people working under the systems that have always been in place.

At the meeting Friday morning, someone stated that the board is destroying Chautauqua. The board is doing what the board sees as the best interest for the Institution. In my opinion, it is the “Save the Amp” crowd who are making things fall apart. Soon we will have worthless homes in a silent Chautauqua. We should all voice our appreciation and support for the board.

To The ediTor:

I really hate all the letters I’ve been getting in my mailbox about the Amp.

So it’s with no small measure of self-loathing that I pen one myself (or would, if I still knew how to use an actual pen).

But really.If you read only these letters, you’d think all of Chautauqua

is up in arms about the plan to rebuild the Amp. And we’re not.Many of us — I daresay most — are in favor of the plan.

(I say “most” based on a survey which is exactly as scientific as those conducted by the anti-Amp-project forces, which is to say, not at all.)

As an old rabble-rouser, I’m more comfortable storming the ramparts than defending them. But in this case, I gotta admit, they’ve got a pretty strong rampart.

President Becker and the board, in my view, have been abundantly clear and open about the project. We’ve heard all about the plans for years, as has anyone who has cared to listen. We’ve heard excruciating detail about it this summer, as the administration (for those who care to attend its many, many, many informational sessions, and who listen rather than shout) makes its tedious, meticulous, well-researched case.

The case is as clear as it was 120-odd years ago, when Chau-tauquans had the same conversation we’re having today.

“The Amphitheatre has served its purpose well,” the edi-tor of The Chautauqua Assembly Herald wrote, back in 1892. “But it has outlived its day, and while it will be parted with regretfully, its successor will be welcomed most gratefully.”

We believe that the true spirit of Chautauqua is to honor the past by looking to the future. We support the adminis-tration’s plan to revamp the Amp, just as a couple of fellows named Lewis Miller and John Heyl Vincent did 1892: With a sentimental tear, but a strong resolve to do what’s necessary for the Institution to live another 120-odd years.

Which the current Amp, most certainly, will not.Phil Lerman

Symphony Notesby DaviD levy

Anna Clyne (1980–)Masquerade

Anna Clyne was born in London on march 9, 1980. In recent years, she has emerged as a formidable voice among the younger generation of composers. A graduate of Ed-inburgh University and the manhattan school of music, she now resides in Brooklyn. she has received numerous commissions, including the American Composers orches-tra, houston Ballet, London sinfonietta, Los Angeles Phil-harmonic, orpheus Chamber orchestra, and the Chicago symphony (where she was the mead Composer-in-Residence during its 2014-15 season). Among her champions are conductors Riccardo muti, Esa-Pekka salonen, osmo Vänskä and marin Alsop. many of Clyne’s pieces com-bine music with other arts media. “masquerade” was composed at Alsop’s request for performance at the Lon-don Proms, where it received its first performance in the Royal Albert hall on sept. 7, 2013, with Alsop leading the BBC symphony orchestra. It is scored for two piccolos, two horns, two bass clarinets, two double bassoons, timpani, a large percussion section (in-cluding, among others, a mo-tor horn and three kazoos), harp and strings.

Clyne is a composer with a large — and unorthodox — imagination. While some of her works are experimental, such as creating a series of visual artworks on a panel in lieu of a traditional musical score, she has no difficulty also writing fun show pieces such as “masquerade.” she also writes for electronic me-dia. In her personal website (www.annaclyne.com), she of-fers the following “artistic statement”:

“my passion is collabo-rating with innovative and risk-taking musicians, film-makers, visual artists and, in particular, choreographers. Creating new works through a fluid artistic dialogue has consistently fueled my music from new perspectives and has maintained a fresh and exciting creative environ-ment. Inspired by visual im-ages and physical movement,

my intention is to create mu-sic that complements and in-teracts with other art-forms, and that impacts performers and audiences alike.”

Clyne has also offered her own composer’s notes for “masquerade,” printed here with her permission:

“ ‘masquerade’ draws in-spiration from the original mid-18th-century promenade concerts held in London’s pleasure gardens. As is true today, these concerts were a place where people from all walks of life mingled to enjoy a wide array of music. other forms of entertainment ranged from the sedate to the sala-cious with acrobatics, exotic street entertainers, dancers, fireworks and masquerades. I am fascinated by the historic and sociological courtship be-tween music and dance. Com-bined with costumes, masked guises and elaborate settings, masquerades created an ex-citing, yet controlled, sense of occasion and celebration. It is this that I wish to evoke in ‘masquerade.’

“The work derives its ma-terial from two melodies. For the main theme, I imagined a chorus welcoming the audi-ence and inviting them into their imaginary world. The second theme, ‘Juice of Bar-ley,’ is an old English country dance melody and drinking song, which first appeared in John Playford’s 1695 edition of The English Dancing Master. It is an honor to compose music for the last night of the Proms, and I dedicate ‘masquerade’ to the Prommers.”

Celebratory is the right word to describe “masquer-ade,” which proved to be an immediate hit with the Proms audience, and whose whirl-wind energy will surely ig-nite excitement among those of us in the Amphitheater this evening.

Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953)Piano Concerto No. 2 in G Minor, Op. 16

Sergei Prokofiev, one of the 20th century’s leading com-posers, was born in sontsovka (Ukraine) on April 27, 1891, a date that fell near the end of the era of tsarist rule. It is one of history’s greatest ironies that Prokofiev died on March 5, 1953, the same day as the

communist dictator Joseph stalin. his second Piano Con-certo was composed in 1912-1913. The original orchestral score was destroyed in a fire during the Russian Revolu-tion and Prokofiev recon-structed and revised it in 1923. The work received its first performance in Pavlovsk on Aug. 23, 1913, with the com-poser as soloist. The revised version was first performed in Paris on may 8, 1923, under the baton of serge Koussevitz-ky. It is scored for solo piano, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion and strings.

Wit and sarcasm are traits that mark much of the mu-sic of the two Russian (later soviet) compositional giants of the 20th century — Pro-kofiev and Shostakovich. Of the two, Prokofiev, became the true enfant terrible, a mod-ernist who showed his true colors while still a student at the st. Petersburg Conserva-tory, where the years leading up to the Russian Revolution were marked by turmoil and change. The old guard faculty were being replaced, and the young composer and pianist saw an opportunity to stretch his legs. If Rachmaninoff rep-resented an extension of the great Russian Romantic tra-dition, Prokofiev was going to turn that tradition upside down. nowhere is this more apparent in his second Piano Concerto — a virtuoso tour de force that immediately engen-dered controversy. some were thrilled by its audacity, while others asked, “What is he do-ing, making fun of us?”

Unfortunately, we do not know exactly what the 1913 version of the piece sounded like, as the score was de-stroyed by a fire during the

years of the revolution. The composer’s sketches, how-ever, survived, and Prokofiev was able to not only recon-struct the work, but also to rewrite and revise passages that added to its complexity and, we may assume, diffi-culty for the soloist. Prokofiev claimed that the revisions were so extensive, the piece might better be called his Piano Concerto no. 4 (having composed the Third Concerto two years before making the revisions). Whatever changes he may have made, the work is a supreme test of any solo-ist’s technical skill, and the work still is performed less frequently than its sisters.

The second Piano Con-certo is, like Brahms’ sec-ond, cast in a four-move-ment structure with the second movement serving as a scherzo. But it is here that all similarities end. The longer outer movements serve as frames for the two shorter inner movements — scherzo: Vivace and Inter-mezzo: Allegro moderato. The scherzo is an athletic rush of activity, while the Intermezzo is filled with the composer’s characteris-tic wicked, and less-than-subtle sense of humor. The first and fourth movements (Andantino — Allegretto — Andantino and Allegro tem-pestoso, respectively). In the first movement, after a very brief introduction, the soloist enters with a lyrical theme in the right hand, accompa-nied in the left with undulat-ing triplets. The music here is marked “narrante,” a sel-dom-used term that means that the composer wants the soloist to play the music as if telling a story. Later in the movement, Prokofiev writes a large cadenza before the movement reaches a more

tranquil ending. The finale, as in the first movement, fea-tures a large cadenza.

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–93)Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17 (“Little Russian”)

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born on may 7, 1840 in Votkinsk, Russia, and died on nov. 6, 1893 in st. Petersburg. he remains one of the most popular composers of all time, beloved especially for his symphonies, ballets and con-certos. his symphony no. 2 received its first performance on Feb. 7, 1873, at the Impe-rial music society in moscow under the direction of nicho-las Rubinstein. The composer revised the work — mainly effecting changes to its first movement — in 1880-81. It is scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion and strings.

The title of Tchaikovsky’s symphony no. 2, “Little Rus-sian,” does not refer to the work’s size, but is rather a reflection of its strongly na-tionalistic flavor, derived from the region known as “Little Russia,” or Ukraine. The symphony’s name was not given by the composer, but by the critic and professor at the moscow Conservatory, nicholas Kashkin. The reason why the title was coined lies in Tchaikovsky’s use of folk tunes he heard in 1872 while visiting his sister, Alexandra, and her husband at their es-tate in Kamenka, Russia.

Tchaikovsky, up to this point in his career, had shown little interest in folklore, much to the distress of the members of the “mighty Five” — mod-est mussorgsky, César Cui, Alexander Borodin, nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and mily Balakirev — who were en-deavoring to create a national musical idiom. It is not sur-prising then that when Tchai-kovsky showed the score for his symphony no. 2 to Rim-sky-Korsakov, he and his na-tionalist colleagues were filled with enthusiasm.

The first movement be-gins with a slow introduction whose tune is derived from the song, “Down by mother

Volga.” After the initial state-ment of the tune by the solo horn and bassoon, decorative repetitions follow, leading to the main body of the move-ment, Allegro vivo, a move-ment that gives hints of the expressive power that Tchai-kovsky would unleash in his more popular last three sym-phonies, but which he does not yet quite achieve here. The folk song from the introduc-tion returns in the midst of the main body, and the move-ment ends — unusually so — with a return to the original tempo, Andante sostenuto, of the introduction.

The second movement is not a true slow movement, as its marking Andantino marziale, quasi moderato, suggests. Its principal theme, sounded by clarinets and bas-soons over the martial kettle-drums, is taken from Tchai-kovsky’s unsuccessful opera of 1869, Undine. The middle section of the movement in-vokes yet another folk song, this one entitled “spin, my spinner.” The third movement is a scherzo, marked Allegro molto vivace, whose quick-silver spirit evokes mendels-sohn rather than Beethoven. Tchaikovsky skillfully shifts the accents and lengths of the phrases in this movement, keeping the listener off guard.

The finale, based once again on a Ukrainian folk song (“The Crane”), is the true joy of this charming sympho-ny. It begins, moderato assai, in hymn-like fashion remi-niscent of the more solemn passages from the “1812 over-ture.” The remainder of the movement is an Allegro vivo romp based on two themes, a speedy version of “The Crane” and a contrasting lilt-ing tune. Tchaikovsky contin-ues to build toward exciting climaxes, each time pulling back just enough to keep us in suspense. A resounding smash on the gong marks the movement’s exciting climax, which is followed by an ex-hilarating coda.

David Levy is a professor and associate dean in the De-partment of Music at Wake For-est University. He will present a free Pre-Concert Lecture at 6:45 p.m. tonight in the Hurlbut Church sanctuary.

Pless to speak on Common Core for Men’s ClubThis Friday, Laura Pless will

discuss Common Core teach-ing standards for the weekly men’s Club speech. The Com-mon Core standards were de-veloped by experts and teach-ers from across the nation to ensure that students gradu-ated from high school with a set of qualifications in math and the English language that prepared them for work in the real world or a continued edu-

cation. however standard the Common Core was supposed to be, its implementation was controversial. Pless will pres-ent the facts of the situation, allowing attendees to draw their own conclusions about the standards, the impact they have on children in the educa-tion system, and the long-term effects of implementing these standards in schools across the nation.

As the current superin-tendent of Amherst (n.y.) Central school District, Pless has been involved with the Common Core and its imple-mentation on the ground level. she has also worked as the superintendent of schools and elementary principal at Westfield Academy and Central school District. her previous experiences have included teaching in the field

of special education, as well as serving as high school vice principal and director of spe-cial education for Fredonia Central school District.

As with every week, the free talk will begin at 9 a.m. at the methodist house near the Amphitheater and be open to men and women. There will be refreshments available before and after the speech on the porch.

Sam FlynnStaff Writer

When author erik larson began his lecture Wednes-day, he had to step carefully lest he reveal the ending to his book, this year’s chau-tauqua literary and Scien-tific Circle selection Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania.

The “Lusitania humor” aside, he wagered the audi-ence didn’t know much about how the ship’s sinking came about — a predicament he found himself in before con-ducting research.

larson made his second appearance on the Amphi-theater stage for Wednesday’s morning lecture to continue the weeklong discussion of “Vanishing” with regards to Dead Wake and the sink-ing of the British ocean liner rMS Lusitania. He is also the author of the best-sellers The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair that Changed the World and In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Ter-

ror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin, which was a clSc selection in 2011.

The title of his last book refers to the archaic maritime definition of “dead wake” which is the lingering trail left behind on the surface of the water by the passing of ship or a torpedo.

“History is one long van-ishing act,” he said. “It is my job to hunt for people and events long vanished and at-tempt to bring them back to life — if only in the imagina-tion.”

larson doesn’t view him-self as a historian but as an an-imator of history. His job is to produce the feeling of trans-portation to the past and to al-low the reader to “sink back” into that world. He seeks out pieces of history and attempts to arrange them in a compel-ling narrative, he said.

His books do not come with photographs of any kind (outside of the title page) because he views them as distractions to the writing.

constructing a narrative made from the stranger-than-fiction annals of history is larson’s passion, as is dis-covering the backstories of all sorts of historical characters.

The “beautiful paradox” of nonfiction writing, he said, is the ending is known to the reader before they read a page. The real magic is cap-tured when readers willingly suspend themselves and get swept up in the narrative mo-mentum, larson said.

“This happens to me when-ever I read A Night to Remem-ber [by Walter lord],” he said. “I’ve read it three or four times, and every time I find myself hoping that, this time, the Titanic will not sink.”

When looking for a book ideas in what he termed the “dark country of no ideas,” Larson said he must first be intrigued by a prospective project. Secondly, he looks for a built-in narrative arc. For example, both The Devil in the White City and Dead Wake have natural conclusions to their stories: H.H. Holmes’ capture and the sinking of the Lusitania, respectively.

He likened finding book ideas to finding a spouse.

“I think women will relate to this more than men,” he said. “But you have to kiss a lot of frogs before one kisses back in a not-creepy way.”

The idea to write a book about the doomed ocean lin-er first occurred to Larson in 2010. It was born out of a love of maritime history and the secrets that have vanished be-neath the blue ocean waves. Disappearances are a central conceit of mysteries from D.B. Cooper to Jimmy Hoffa to the Bermuda Triangle, larson

said. Of the 1,998 passengers and crew that died on the lu-sitania, 600 remained lost.

He began his research at the Hoover Institution li-brary and Archives at Stan-ford university. While there, he was allowed to touch a plank of a wrecked lifeboat from the fateful sinking.

“until I get that con-tact, I’m really not totally convinced a thing actually happened,” he said. “even though you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it hap-pened, but when you touch a thing, I swear there is a little spark that runs through you and you get energized.”

He was further fueled in his quest by the lack of truly captivating writing on the sinking itself. There were myriad academic accounts of diplomatic relations before and after the sinking, but larson found himself drawn to more vivid, personal re-cords.

larson, like many, be-lieved that the lusitania’s sinking was akin to Pearl Harbor for World War I, but he was surprised to discover that it was almost two full years after the sinking on May 7, 1915, that the u.S. of-ficially entered the war on April 6, 1917.

When he envisioned the sinking, larson said he had seen a dark — and perhaps stormy — night. But it oc-curred 12 miles off the coast of Ireland on a “beautiful, warm day, with clear skies and still waters.”

He also found the pow-erful human details he felt previous books lacked. lar-son discovered that, during the 18 minutes it took for

the ocean liner to sink, three passengers were sucked into funnels by flooding, only to be blown back out by an ex-plosion below deck. In anoth-er instance, a full lifeboat fell free of its rigging, collapsing on top of another full lifeboat.

When writing chronicles of tragic events, larson divides his attention into two separate “selves.” His good self feels empathy for the suffering oth-ers endured. His bad self, he said, reacts with glee when discovering juicy details like the above anecdotes.

“There are two of me, as a trained journalist,” larson said. “There’s the good me, who sits up here and recog-nizes this stuff is bad and aw-ful. Then there’s the bad me, who sits up here and smokes and watches FOX News.”

Editor’s note: This Q&A has been edited for clarity and length.

Q: One of the issues I’m fascinated with is what

seems to be the obsession of the submarine commander. I’m wondering if you can talk a little bit more about that.

A: The submarine commander became a very compelling

character. And, actually, from the very beginning, I think that’s really part of the reason why I decided to do this book. Specifically, it was when I came across his war log, which is the log that German submarine commanders kept during their patrols. The thing that makes this war log particularly

compelling is that it’s not just a recitation of course changes and wind direction and so forth — it is actually a pretty detailed narra-tive of the voyage and everything that went wrong with the voyage. Which, by the way, I think, might have something to do with why people report to me via Twitter that they were rooting for him. Because everything was going wrong for him on this voyage. He was totally focused on one thing: tonnage. Not the number of ships, tonnage. Accumulating tonnage — that’s how you were evaluated as to whether you’d be a submarine ace or not, and I as-sume that’s the obsession you’re referring to. Now, the problem is, if you are obsessed with ton-nage and set out on a voyage like this — he encountered endless bouts of fog, he encountered foul weather, he was hunted by British destroyers. Two of his attempted attacks failed because torpedoes failed. One of the facts that titil-lated me about this whole period was that according to the Ger-man tally, 60 percent of torpedo attacks in World War I failed; 60 percent. Which makes you realize further how fluky the sinking of the Lusitania actually was. Anyway, his obsession was tonnage, and I guess he finally got his wish.

Q: This is the question of the day: What is the

answer to the question we may not ask you?

A: That is a cunningly phrased question. The question

you’re not allowed to ask me is what I’m working on next. (Laughter.) I know! I’m depressed, too. I’m not working on anything.

Author Erik Larson speaks about his book Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania during the morning lecture Wednesday in the Amphitheater.

The richard W. and Jean-nette D. Kahlenberg lecture-ship Fund helped under-write Wednesday’s lecture by writer erik larson.

The fund was estab-lished in 2012 by the Kahlenberg family. rich-ard W. Kahlenberg had vis-ited chautauqua as a child and in I964, he brought his young family here for a

one-week vacation. They have been returning

virtually every one of the 51 summers since.

The Kahlenberg fam-ily is especially pleased to be sponsoring today’s lec-ture on recognition Day of the chautauqua literary and Scientific Circle, since daughter Trudi Kahlenberg Picciano is graduating today

with the class of 2015 and Jeannette is a member of the clSc class of 2000 and the Guild of the Seven Seals. Trudi, a speech and lan-guage pathologist, and Jean-nette both live in Seattle, as does larson.

The other two Kahlen-berg children are on the grounds this week, as well. Joy Kahlenberg Fallon is se-

nior minister of the historic Kings chapel in Boston. richard Dawson Kahlen-berg is senior fellow at the century Foundation and has spoken in the Hall of Philosophy. Three of the eight Kahlenberg grandchil-dren are also here and all eight regularly visit the his-toric family cottage.

richard W. Kahlenberg

was a Presbyterian min-ister, teacher, and writer, who was educated at Har-vard and union Theological Seminary where he wrote his thesis under reinhold Niebuhr. He died in 2004.

Jeannette Dawson Kahlenberg is a graduate of Wellesley college with a master’s degree from union Theological Seminary and

columbia university. Her career included serving as executive Director of the New York city civic organi-zations, citizens union and citizens union Foundation. Jeannette has been active at chautauqua, serving on the Boards of the Women’s club and the Presbyterian Asso-ciation and as a chautauqua Fund volunteer.

COLUMN BY MARY LEE TALBOT

Morning Worship

Interfaith NewsCOMPILED BY MEG VIEHE

Let’s Visit Westfield

Almost as soon as “Black Lives Matter” began to trend on Twitter, people began to respond “All Lives Matter” said the Rev. Barbara K. Lund-blad. But, she said, as philosopher and New York

Times columnist Judith Butler wrote, when people respond-ed “All Lives Matter,” “people misunderstood the message. Not all lives are understood to matter, and we have to name the lives that haven’t mattered.”

Lundblad preached at the 9:15 a.m. Wednesday morning worship service in the Amphitheater. Her sermon title was “Vanishing Innocence,” and the text was I Peter 2:9-10.

“I agree [with Butler] and think most people would agree that black lives have not mattered enough. But I also want to claim my innocence. My ancestors were from Sweden, and they knew hardship and never owned slaves. I wanted to think I was a good white person. I wanted to be like Atticus Finch, and now I have lost him,” she said.

Lundblad had been invited to speak at “The Rally in the Valley” in Arizona in February.

“It is an event for retired Lutherans who give up snow shoveling for Lent,” she said. “The Bible study was 1 Peter 2, and I wanted to address it in my keynote speech — really a longer sermon. I asked them what do you think of, ‘Now you are a chosen race?’ One said yeehaw, another hallelujah and others said grace. After all, they were Lutherans.

“Someone in the back said, ‘What race?’ ” she continued. “The congregation had heard ‘chosen’ but not ‘race’ or they thought it meant all people, not a particular race. That gath-ering was even whiter than this one — if that is possible — but they did not think of themselves as ‘racial’ people. They don’t think about race because they do not have to negotiate race.”

Lundblad cited an essay by Isabel Wilkerson, author of The Warmth of Other Suns. In the essay, Wilkerson noted two events that happened about the same time: the raising of the Confederate flag over the South Carolina State House in April 1961 to mark the centennial of the beginning of the Civil War and the publication in July 1960 of To Kill a Mock-ingbird by Harper Lee.

Lundblad described the end of the courtroom scene in the book, where all the black members of the community

stand as Atticus Finch leaves the room. The minister of the community tells the Finch children to get up and stand because their father is walking by.

“I wanted to be Atticus Finch,” Wilkerson wrote. “Now the flag is down and we have a new book, an old one really, and the elder Atticus Finch is a racist. I want my Atticus back.”

Wilkerson challenges us to confront that wistfulness and realize that we have never escaped racism’s roots, Lundblad said.

“It shapes our beliefs, behaviors and actions, and we have to examine it in a profound way, especially white people,” she said. “Let us not ask black people to do our work for us. We have to unmask our mythic conscience and wake up to the truth about an America that never was.”

It is hard to get past guilt, Lundblad said. When inno-cence is taken away, white people can no longer say, “My family never owned slaves. “

“White privilege is real,” she said. “We can’t just admit our guilt, ask forgiveness and go about our lives. What do we do now? We are stuck, and we need to get unstuck and we will not get completely unstuck this morning. This is sacred work, holy work and I don’t want to stay stuck.”

She suggested that white people need to examine what it means to be white, and it will not be easy. It is something white people have not had to think about.

It is holy work, she said again.“We should refuse to compare repressions,” Lundblad

said. “African-Americans are the only ones whose ancestors

came here as slaves, not on their own.” White people should support affirmative action because

it is as close to reparations as will ever be made, Lundblad said. She cited Ta-Nehisi Coates’ essay “The Case for Repa-rations,” saying that in 1860 the value of slaves as assets was worth more than all American manufacturing, railroads and productive capacity.

“Slaves were the single largest financial asset in the entire American economy,” she said. “How can we make reparations to their descendents? Affirmative action is one way to make a dent.”

She suggested that people fund scholarships for African-Americans at their mostly white colleges and get friends to do the same. She said retired people should continue to vote and to support voting rights.

“People should support the Martin Luther King Center here at Chautauqua so people of color can meet and talk with each and with people whose color is bland,” Lundblad said.

She said again that this is holy work, not political or sociological.

“Bishop Timothy Hoyt said that the bottom line of black preaching is the universal parenthood of God and the uni-versal kinship of all people,” she said. “I hope that would be the bottom line for all our congregations.

“Whatever race we are, we are a chosen race for once we were no people but now we are God’s people,” Lundblad continued. “This is holy work. I hope that, wherever you go after Chautauqua, you will bring this holy work and pas-sion to wherever you live. Once we let go of innocence, we can embrace the holy calling of God. So may it be.”

Pastor Scott Maxwell presided. Heidi Thorsen, Christian coordinator for the Abrahamic Program for Young Adults and a student at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, read the Scripture. Jared Jacobsen, organist and worship coordinator, accompanied Amanda Bottoms, a voice student at Chautauqua working on her master’s at Juilliard, on “His Eye is on the Spar-row.” The Motet Choir was singing for the CLSC Recognition Day ceremonies at the Hall of Philosophy. The Robert D. Campbell Memorial Chaplaincy supports this week’s services.

JAKE ZUCKERMANStaff Writer

Every year, the presi-dent of the United States of America delivers the State of the Union address to ex-plain where the nation is and where it’s going. In similar fashion Tuesday in the Hall of Philosophy, Sam Chand delivered his address, “Emerging Church,” on the state of the church.

Interpretations of church membership dwindling and religion dying off are mis-guided — the church is sim-ply changing, Chand said. He found that all churches are following a common path toward becoming more EPIC, or more Experiential, Participatory, Icon-driven and Connective.

“I’m not a sociologist, I have no degree in what I do,” Chand said. “I’m a surgeon who doesn’t have a license. But I know who I am and who I’m not, and in the midst of all of that, I get to be in some of the largest churches in the world and I get to see their inside workings. That’s what I’m going to be talking about. I’m going to describe what is happening. I won’t be an apologist for them.”

According to Chand, there are two types of leaders in churches today: natives and immigrants. Natives are con-servative, sensitive to change and rely on formal educa-tion, he said. Conversely, immigrants are more aloof, progressive, informal, visual learners and prefer hands-on practice.

These two schools of thought are currently react-ing to produce the chang-es — 11 of which he then shared — seen in contempo-rary churches, Chand said.

“The first thing that will stand out to you about the emerging church is its changing delivery systems,” Chand said. “The message remains the same, but the delivery systems change around it.”

Following from this point, the second change Chand mentioned is the tendency toward multisite preaching. In 1990, only 10 churches re-ceived preaching feeds from other locations, he said. To-day, more than 6,000 church-es engage in the practice.

The third change Chand mentioned is the emphasis on social media and other forms of instant communica-tion while preaching.

“We are living in an age where every social piece is being networked,” Chand said, using his pod-cast, “Tuesdays With Sam Chand,” as an example. Churches are using technol-

ogy as an attempt to stay engaged with their younger members, he said.

He said “megachurches” are growing more popular, but smaller subgroups start to form within them. Chand lik-ened the phenomenon to an accordion, which is both large and small at different times.

Many churches are av-eraging out around 5,000 members, he said.

“Megachurches, I call them the Walmart of the church,” Chand said. “You can be grocery shopping on one end and get your oil changed in the other. It’s a one-stop shop.”

Alongside their growth

in size, churches are host-ing more generations simul-taneously than ever before, Chand said. This is leading to new issues from the banal (what music to play and how loud to play it) to the more interesting (what kind of knowledge or literacy to as-sume from the churchgoers).

“Most churches are serv-ing five generations at the same time,” Chand said.

Chand’s seventh and eighth points were both fo-cused on modern churchgo-ers’ practice of not having one “home church,” but sev-eral nomad churches where they are “non-member regu-lar attendees.”

As Chand describes them, these non-member regular attendees come (more often than regular members), they worship, they donate and they leave. He said this is what churches must brace them-selves for to stay relevant and keep their jobs filled.”

Churches that depend on members — that pool is shrinking, and it will con-tinue to shrink,” he said.

Following this changing demographic is a dynamic church governing system and an outdated, lifelong commitment system to church responsibilities. Both of these systems must be updated to realign with the

new tendencies of church members, Chand said.

Lastly, Chand said, churches are facing bet-ter preaching competition due to the new ubiquity of preaching from satellite lo-cations.

Chand ended on a posi-tive note, pointing out the church’s embracing all ends of the spectrum, using an ex-ample of how some churches require formal dress while others do not.

“Is one right and one wrong? No. It’s on both ends, it’s not either-or,” Chand said. “The emerging church is doing a great job of em-bracing both ends.”

Chand discusses state of the church

The message remains the same, but the delivery systems change around it.”

The Bromeley Family Fund and the Donald Chace Shaw Fund provide funding for tonight’s Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra per-formance with conductor Rossen Milanov and pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi.

The Thomas R. Bromeley family of Bradford, Pennsyl-vania, established the Bro-meley Family Fund in 1991. Members of the Bromeley family include Thomas and Jean; their daughters and sons-in-law, Pamela and Donald Fredeen and Amy and Daniel McCune, and several grandchildren. The Bromeleys own a summer home at Chautauqua Shores.

Elected to the Chautau-qua Institution Board of Trustees in 1985, Thomas

Bromeley was chosen chair-person in 1989 and served in that capacity until 1995. Bro-meley served as a director of the Chautauqua Foundation and the Chautauqua Hotel Corporation.

Bromeley is chairman of Topline Corporation and Al-legheny Bradford Corpora-tion, which manufactures and distributes stainless steel products to the phar-maceutical and biotechni-cal industries. He has ra-dio broadcasting interests in Bradford, and for many years he owned interests in newspapers in several states.

In addition to his work on behalf of Chautauqua, Bro-meley served as chairman of the board of trustees of Ot-terbein College and a mem-ber of the executive com-mittee of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. He is a member and former vice chairperson of the Bradford Hospital Board of Directors and was a director of Penn-bank and Penn Bancorp in Titusville, Pennsylvania.

The Bromeleys’ daughter, Amy McCune, first brought the family to Chautauqua when she came to study with longtime piano teacher Ozan Marsh. Upon his election as chairman of the Chautauqua Board of Trustees, Bromeley related in the 1989 fall Chau-tauquan that it was the influ-ence of his daughter’s music education at Chautauqua and the part it played in her

professional and personal development that acted as a unifying force for his family.

The Donald Chace Shaw Fund was established as an endowment fund within the Chautauqua Foundation Inc. by Donald Chace Shaw of Hamburg, New York, Distri-butions from this fund are designated for use in sup-port of specific programs including CSO concerts or lectures in American history and American political sci-ence.

Shaw was a longtime par-ticipant and supporter of the numerous activities and programs offered by Chau-tauqua Institution. Original-ly from Newfane, New York, he pursued undergraduate studies at the University of Buffalo and the State Teach-ers College at Buffalo. Upon graduation, Shaw taught in several school districts in Western New York. He then attended graduate school at the University of Michi-gan, where both he and his wife, Margaret C. Behringer, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, earned their master’s de-grees. The Shaws first visited Chautauqua in June 1942 on their honeymoon. Following his initial career in teach-ing, Shaw was employed by the Carborundum Company in Niagara Falls. In 1955, he and his wife both returned to teaching at Hamburg Se-nior High School until their retirement in 1975. Shaw

taught American history and was responsible for de-velopment of the advanced placement program for the school district. During this period, he and his family were frequent visitors to the Institution and participated in summer programs offered by Syracuse University.

Shaw was one of the founding owners in 1983 of Waugh Manor at the north-west corner of Waugh and Palestine. Shaw was a life member of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle and the Guild of the Seven Seals. He served two terms as a district representative of the Chautauqua Property Owners Association and was a trustee and secretary of the Chautauqua Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.

In addition to his involve-ments at Chautauqua, he was a member and treasurer of the Sons of the Ameri-can Revolution, a member of the Order of the Found-ers and Patriots of America, registrar and librarian of the Western New York Genea-logical Society, a member of the Niagara County Histori-cal Society and secretary of the Western New York Crib-bage Club.

The establishment of this fund by Shaw is an affirma-tion of his longtime commit-ment to Chautauqua Insti-tution in recognition of the significant role it played in his life.

Bromeley, Shaw funds support tonight’s CSO with Milanov, pianist Baryshevskyi

The Barbara and Herb Key-ser Fund provides funding for today’s 10:45 a.m. lecture featuring Isabel Wilkerson.

Established in 2011 by Dr. Herbert H., Barbara G. Key-ser, Christopher A. Keyser and Susan Sprung, the Fund is a permanent endowment fund held within the Chau-

tauqua Foundation to offer general support to the Chau-tauqua Institution lecture platform. Although Herb is a retired obstetrician and gynecologist, author, lectur-er, world traveler and per-former of musical numbers from his book, Geniuses of the American Musical Theatre, on cruise ships and at theaters, most Chautauquans readily know of him as the “King of Tarts,” as he bakes and delivers lemon tarts for the benefit of Chautauqua’s an-nual fund. He can be seen with his lemon yellow cart every Monday morning by the Amphitheater.

Barbara and Herb have come to Chautauqua since 1981 on the recommendation of a friend who played in the Chautauqua Symphony

Orchestra. Their son Chris Keyser and daughter-in-law Susan Sprung decided to honor their parents by join-ing them in establishing this fund. Chris is a writer and producer in Hollywood, and a winner of a Golden Globe Award several years ago. He is presently the president of the Writers Guild of Ameri-ca, West. The Keysers have six children and 10 grand-children, all of whom spend time in Chautauqua.

If you would be interested in discussing the possibility of es-tablishing an endowed lecture-ship or supporting another as-pect of Chautauqua’s program, please contact Dustin Nelson, Director of Gift Planning, at 716-357-6409 or email him at dnelson@ciweb.org.

As sunlight streaked across Chautauqua early Sat-urday morning, the scene was quite different from Chautauquans packing their cars to leave after a week at the Institution, or lazy coffee-accompanied walks around the grounds.

The annual Old First Night Run and Walk filled North Lake Drive with participants donning neon orange race T-shirts and running shorts. Some brought strollers filled with bleary-eyed children and dogs on short leashes to join them on the track.

Some participants jogged around, pacing back and forth, kicking their shins to stretch before running the 2.7-mile loop. Others were sipping on cups of coffee, groggy-eyed and awake enough only to follow a herd of runners and walkers.

Alli Chertack, a lifeguard at Chautauqua, had one goal: “To finish on my two feet and not crawl across the [fin-ish] line.”

The historic Old First Night Run had two tweaks in its annual operation: the race started at 8 a.m., an hour earlier than in the past, and racers were guided through the newly built brick walk through Miller Park before a straightaway on North Lake Drive that led to the finish line.

Nearing the start of the race, the Sports Club was an idyllic atmosphere, broken up only by the blaring of

music and the eventual buzz of a starting horn, which race marshal Riley Burton set off.

Unable to attend last year’s race because of her con-tinuing battle with Wilms’ tumor, a cancer of the kid-neys, Burton threw up her hands moments before the race, which stirred a series of cheers from participants.

“She’s a sweet, brave girl and a personal inspiration to me,” said Peggy Ulasewicz, who organizes the Old First Night Run, Walk and Swim. “We missed her, so it’s won-derful.”

Runners and walkers, 682 in total, darted from the starting line, but slowed down once they made the turn onto Bryant from South Lake Drive — 14- and 13-year-old Clay and Brooke Swanson among them.

“We ran until we got to the big hill, and then we walked,” Clay said.

“She wants the trophy, but she doesn’t want to run,” Brooke said.

Toni Goldfarb, who lives near the corner of Palestine and Massey, was urging run-ners forward from outside her home, a practice she has done every Old First Night Run since she moved into the house in 1990.

“I’m handicapped [and] I can’t run, so I figure I know some people in the race, let me give them some encour-agement,” Goldfarb said. “This is about the halfway point. We [measured] it in

the car once.” Echoes of “Go, go, you’re

almost there!” rung as run-ners trekked onward on Palestine, which eventually turns into Prospect.

Runners and walkers paced down North Lake Drive, weaving through the most immediate bends on the course. Many sprinted along the lawn bowling field toward the finish line and heaved themselves over.

Ryan Hetrick took the open men first prize with a 15:04 finish time and was unable to accept his trophy because he continued to run as ceremonies took place. He beat his nearest competitor, Nicholas Shea, by 48 sec-onds. Marc Bullard finished third with a 16:07 time.

Caroline Jahrling won the open women first prize with an elapsed time of 16:48. Mary Humphrey and Kylee Witchey-Clements finished second and third, respec-tively, completing the race six seconds apart from each other.

The walking portion of the race is judged by the low-est difference of a predicted and actual time. Walkers are not allowed to wear a watch during the race. Brothers Jeff and Dan Miller finished with an 11- and 36-second difference, respectively, in the open men’s competition. In the open women’s com-petition, 11-year-old Lily Broughton won by one sec-ond over Karen Newhall,

who finished with a five-sec-ond difference.

The scoring for swim-ming was set up similar to walking, as participants pre-dicted and compared their actual time to compete for lowest difference score in the lap lanes of the Turner Com-munity Center. Rachel Mont-gomery placed first with a two-second difference.

On Chautauqua Lake, an open fleet sailing regatta took place and Old First Night fleet awards were presented for C Scows, which went to Tim and Shannon Jahrling, and Lightnings, which went to Becky, Maggie, and Candy Scanlon.

Around the World, which gives Chautauquans from outside the grounds to run the race, sent in pictures and results from around the country, including Aar-icka Oliver, who ran around Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Capitol.

After the race concluded, participants gathered on the shuffleboard courts to hear the various flight awards, but used the space to gather and converse.

“I’ve been told it’s the sec-ond-most popular weekend because of the run,” Ulase-wicz said. “I’m proud of that. I think it’s different than the [Chautauqua] culture, so it’s just different avenue for peo-ple to enjoy this place that’s not necessarily opera or bal-let — it just appeals. People walk here anyways and [Old First Night] just makes it more of a community.”
