It was known that Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi ideologue and author of a book on racial theory titled The Myth of the Twenti-eth Century, kept a diary. But following his

execution for crimes against humanity in 1946, the diary disappeared. The diary, its mystery, its importance and its discovery in 2013 are the subject of the Oliver Archives Heritage Lecture at 3:30 p.m. today in the Hall of Christ.

Henry Mayer from the United States Ho-locaust Museum, Eli Rosenbaum from the U.S. Department of Justice and Greg Peter-son from the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown will each take part in this pre-sentation.

Jon Schmitz, Chautauqua archivist and historian, said that the presentation re-sulted from a “wonderful” collaboration.

A friend had mentioned that the diary had been recovered.

Schmitz checked on it and found a pub-lished account of the discovery; Schmitz, in turn, called Peterson at the Jackson Center.

“I wanted to see if we could do a pro-gram, and Greg was the one and only per-son that came to mind,” Schmitz said.

Peterson immediately said yes and pro-ceeded to make contacts.

“It was put together in a few days and we began to make formal invitations,” Schmitz said.

Radio host Krista Tippett will continue her series of conversations with “wise citizen-guests,” today with Imani Perry.

Perry is a profes-sor in the Center for African American Studies at Princ-eton University and the author of two books, More Beau-tiful and More Ter-rible: The Embrace and Transcendence of Racial Inequality in the United States and Prophets of The Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop. Her work spans the areas of law, cultural studies and African-American studies.

She and Tippett will speak today at 2 p.m. in the Hall of Philosophy. Week Seven’s In-terfaith Lecture theme is “Conversations on the American Consciousness.”

KARLY BUNTICHStaff Writer

One hundred and fi fty years ago, the nation was mired in the con-fl ict of the Civil War — fi rmly divided into the North and the South, the Union and the Con-federacy, the blue and the gray.

The only thing the divided sides seemed to have in common was the blood that spilled on the battlefi elds.

In today’s 10:45 a.m. lecture in the Amphitheater, re-nowned documen-tarian and fi lmmaker Ken Burns will discuss a subject he knows well: the Civil War.

“It’s the most important event in all of American history,” said Burns about the confl ict that killed roughly 2 percent of the population of the United States at the time.

In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln named Ulysses S. Grant the commander-in-chief of the Union Army, the fi rst Union sol-diers arrived at the infamous Andersonville prison, and General William Tecumseh Sher-man marched to the sea, leaving nothing but scorched earth in his wake.

The year that saw the re-election of Lin-coln was also the “worst and bloodiest year of the Civil War,” Burns said.

That year also “involved unspeakable slaughter,” he said.

There are so many “important, meaningful traditions” at Chautauqua, Karslake said, and many of them will be invoked during Old First Night, as the Institution celebrates its 140th birthday at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Amphitheater.

“These traditions are the founda-tions for why a lot of people love Chau-tauqua so deeply,” Karslake said. “They give a lot of meaning to things that are otherwise here today, gone tomorrow. These are traditions that Chautauquans

relate to, and that bring them closer to Chautauqua.”

Karslake would know; he’s the fi fth in an eight-generation Chautauqua fam-ily, and has been acting as master of cer-emonies for Old First Night for 25 years.

The Old First Night celebration is a series of one tradition after the next, from the drooping of the lilies to the three-fold roll call, as audience mem-bers stand based on their home state, how many years they’ve been coming to Chautauqua and how many genera-

tions their families have been coming to the grounds.

“As a boy, I loved to stand up for the number of years you’ve been coming,” Karslake said. “I remember the fi rst time we had a gal stay standing till the end — she’d been coming for 92 years. She was the last one standing and she got a standing ovation. Who would have thought? She was thrilled.”

Some traditions have been added

The Chautauqua Com-munity Band will put on its portion of today’s Old First Night celebration at 12:15 p.m. today on Bestor Plaza, or in the Amphitheater if weather is an issue.

Old First Night has tradi-tionally been the venue for the band’s second and final concert of the season.

The Institution’s Fourth of July celebration also features the group, which is made up of musicians of all ages and skills.

“It’s always been a fun part of the festivities,” said Jason weintraub, leader of the Community Band and a horn player in the Chautau-

qua symphony Orchestra. “It’s not quite as patriotic a setting as the July Fourth show, but Chautauqua is such an American place that the band plays a necessary role.”

This afternoon’s concert will be accentuated with epi-sodes of patriotism; the pro-gram begins with “The star- spangled Banner,” and will end with John Philip sousa’s “washington Post March.”

The performance will also feature an appropriately lo-cal connection via the Dixie Lakesiders — an ensemble made up of longtime mem-bers of the Community Band.

Outside of the two band concerts, the Lakesiders play many events during the sea-

son and represent an ideal near and dear to weintraub’s vision for his group.

“The Dixie Lakesiders and a couple other offshoot groups are one of the things I’m most proud of when it comes to this band,” he said. “They’re veterans of the community band, and they met each other as a result of being introduced through the band. It’s a really neat thing to see happen.”

Today’s concert also sig-nals an upcoming milestone for weintraub and the band.

The 2015 season will be the community band’s 25th year of existence on the grounds, and weintraub is already looking forward to the celebration.

“we’re going to recognize

the occasion by playing all of our favorites from over the years and hopefully add-ing in some special things as well,” he said. “we could possibly play other places, such as Jamestown, but it’s just an idea at this point.”

Regardless of how the band and community as a whole decide to celebrate a quarter-century of marches and medleys, the anniver-sary will represent a tremen-dous achievement for wein-traub’s group.

“It’s given people a place to participate in the Chau-tauqua experience as op-posed to just observing the music,” he said. “It’s turned out to be a positive experi-ence all-around. It’s a success far beyond what I originally intended or ever thought it could be.”

A woman treks across the United States to win a bet and save her family, and a man covers the expanse of the South and changes the way the nation thinks about envi-ronmentalism.

Husband and wife Jim Hunt and Linda Lawrence Hunt will reach into the ash-es of the past to compare and contrast these two tales of adventure with their Brown Bag, “Two Travel Narratives: One Famous, One Burned.”

The Hunts, who serve as the joint prose writers-in-res-idence for Week Seven, will discuss the stories of Helga Estby and John Muir at 12:15 p.m. today on the front porch of the Literary Arts Center at Alumni Hall.

Hunt and Lawrence Hunt have become experts on these two travel narratives through their own writing careers. Hunt is the author of Restless Fires: John Muir’s Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf in 1867-68, and Lawrence Hunt is the author of Bold Spirit: Helga Estby’s Forgotten Walk across Victorian America.

Lawrence Hunt said that their Brown Bag will focus on the idea of adventure and how it differed for men and women at the turn of the cen-tury, which is something that Estby and Muir’s narratives illuminate.

“There’s so much depth to both of these stories,” Hunt said. “Basically, we’ll just in-troduce them to these two powerful stories, and how they shaped one man and one woman’s life.”

Lawrence Hunt said that she and Hunt hope to divide their time equally so they can discuss both Estby and Muir.

Hunt will discuss John Muir, a naturalist and advo-

cate for wilderness preserva-tion. Hunt’s research focuses on Muir’s journey from Indi-ana to Florida, which Muir wrote about in his book A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf.

Lawrence Hunt said that Muir’s journey helped estab-lish the “formation of a whole new environmental ethic.” She said that this new ethic changed the way that people thought about travel, because it made them realize how interconnected the environ-ment is.

“Muir’s famous quote is that everything is stitched to-gether,” Lawrence Hunt said.

This mindset is what helped shape the founding of the United States’ national parks, Lawrence Hunt said.

Lawrence Hunt said Estby’s story is fascinating because it was so unconven-tional for the time period.

Estby and her daughter, Clara, set out on a journey across the United States on a wager to save her family’s farm. The two went unes-corted, which was consid-ered out of the question at the time. Lawrence Hunt said she hopes people will under-stand the bravery it took for Estby to do what she did.

“I would want them to take away a respect for the courage of women who choose to become actors in the destiny of their lives,” Lawrence Hunt said. “Cul-ture told her that she could not do this. And she had a commitment and determina-tion that was huge to try and save her family farm. But she had to go against the culture, because women are told not to do that.”

Lawrence Hunt thinks that Estby’s story is impor-tant for all to hear, because it ultimately comes down to knowing and acting on one’s convictions.

“We need to hear what’s important to us — and not just what culture says,” Law-rence Hunt said. “We need to act with courage on our con-victions.”

It has been 53 days since the students of the Voice Pro-gram stepped foot in Chau-tauqua. Since day one, they have been working nonstop, not only to put on great per-formances, but also to im-prove as performers.

Beginning at 2 p.m. today in Fletcher Music Hall, the students of the Voice Pro-gram will take audiences through an assortment of operas in an array of lan-guages for two days of voice opera scenes.

Directors Mikhaela Ma-hony and Peter Kazaras, director of opera studies at UCLA, said the voice opera scenes will not only show-case the students’ talents but also show how far they have come through their training.

“These are scenes chosen to fit the need and train-ing requirement of the stu-dents,” Kazaras said. “Some scenes will let the students shine, and some are chosen to help their education. We have people from age 17 to age 30 or older. We have all sorts of levels and they’re all excellent.”

With 20 scenes from clas-sic operas like Carmen, The Marriage of Figaro and La traviata, today and Wednes-day’s program will unravel stories using Italian, Czech, Russian, French and English.

Some of the most impor-tant lessons Kazaras and Mahony have been working

on with the students are the power of storytelling and staying true to the character. Both Mahony and Kazaras said that allowing oneself to embody the role and en-suring that the true voice of the character is being heard is the delicate balance of not only performing, but telling stories of opera.

“With opera, you have so many means of storytelling,” Mahony said. “The physical storytelling, the actors in-habiting the roles and also moving physically through space conveys a story. It is ex-citing letting the music both be a huge element of story-telling but also finding the time when you’re going to move against the tempo and let the music just carry you.”

Kazaras said for an opera to work — to have its “real punch” — the performer can’t comment on the material.

“They just have to deliv-er it. They have to deliver it with meaning and with feel-ing and without false sen-timentality,” he said. “The performer has to understand what the character is going through and that’s why there are a million interpretations. Each performer is different and that’s what’s great about it. That’s why the story con-tinues to live and in an inter-esting way.”

In addition to learning how to illustrate stories through body and voice with opera, Kazaras said one of the main lessons he hopes that his students learn is that

while failure is inevitable, it can also be beneficial.

“You have to give yourself permission to fail,” Kazaras said. “When you do that there’s no telling what will happen and that is thrilling on both sides of the table. You may think you’ve failed and other people think you’ve succeeded or you may think you’ve succeeded and other people think you failed, but it doesn’t matter. You just have pick yourself up the next day and you keep working.”

Over the course of the season, the students have been working to perfect their craft, and Mahony said that today and Wednesday’s performances will jolt audi-ences with a feeling of dis-covery.

“You, as an audience member, are going to go to discover new things,” she said. “There’s something re-ally special about having that attitude of discovery as an audience member and then performers coming on stage who are also in the midst of discovering new scenes. For a lot of them, this will be their first time performing this repertoire and so you get to be a part of that discovery and watch them discover as you do as well. I think that is a rare thing to see in a per-formance and there is an electricity to that.”

All proceeds from today’s event will benefit the Chautau-qua Women’s Club Scholarship Fund.

Students in the School of Music’s Voice Program rehearse Saturday in Elizabeth S. Lenna Hall with the Music School Festival Orchestra for Monday’s Amphitheater performance of La Rondine. Voice students will perform an assortment of opera scenes beginning at 2 p.m. today in Fletcher Music Hall.

Voice students tackle operatic scenes today, Wednesday

In an interview with The Feminist Wire, Perry said she was born into a large, black Catholic family in Birming-ham, Alabama, the child of intellectuals and activists. She moved to Massachusetts when she was 5, attended a progressive Quaker school “and lived in a countercul-ture, multi-racial environ-ment,” she said.

Perry said she was educat-ed during an influential time in race and gender studies.

“I attended Yale as an un-dergraduate student in the era when third-wave feminism was born there; the queer community was thriving, and our expressions of blackness were expansive,” she told The Feminist Wire. “And I went into a Ph.D. program at Har-vard in the ‘dream team’ era in African-American studies. I began Harvard Law School when Lani Guinier first joined the faculty. I was educated — and educated well — in an ex-citing time.”

In the film “White Like Me,” Perry speaks to people who don’t think race matters anymore.

“The numbers and the so-cial reality don’t reflect that,” she said. “We have twice the rate of unemployment in Af-rican-American communities with respect to their white counterparts. We have mas-sive loss of wealth in African-American communities … the outcomes of people in this society on the basis of race are

still really dramatically dis-tinct.”

Tippett said the voices of Week Seven’s Interfaith Lec-tures are distinctly inform-ing the new American story that’s unfolding. She said she reveres Chautauqua Insti-tution because it is a classic American institution where influential people have made themselves heard.

“One of the shifts between the 20th century and now is that it was possible even 50 years ago for there to be some-thing called the ‘mainstream.’ The radar really meant some-thing, and there were privi-leged places or platforms where certain voices could be heard by a wide swath,” Tip-pett said. “One of the ways the world has changed is this complexity, this diversity, this fact that, on the one hand, we have a profusion of plat-forms. On the other hand, I don’t know that there is such a thing as a mainstream any-more, and the radar, such [as] it is, is broken.”

Maureen Rovegno, associ-ate director of Chautauqua’s Department of Religion, said other interfaith speakers this season have spoken to Amer-ica’s sense of exceptionalism, and she expects Tippett’s guests to bring unique view-points on the subject to the Institution.

“Krista just has developed the art of conversation that helps to bring out the best of what each of her wise citizen-guests has to offer in terms of the American consciousness,” Rovegno said.

over the years, like perfor-mances from the winners of the Boys’ and Girls’ Club annual Air Band competi-tion. Karslake’s family roots have grown into numer-ous branches, touching all parts of life at Chautauqua, and his family had a hand in the Air Band’s inception. His niece started Air Band at Club about 40 years ago; her children went through Club, and now Karslake’s grand-niece, Sterling Smith, is a counselor for Group 2 Girls, who will be performing their award-winning “2G Goes to the Zoo” as part of the fes-tivities.

Another relatively recent tradition is the Postcards from Chautauqua, during which Karslake and Bijou Clinger Miller project old postcards from Chautauqua onto a screen above the Amp stage, and take turns reading the inscriptions.

“The postcards give you a sense of the time in which they were written, what the people were thinking, they way they expressed them-selves, what they found im-portant,” Karslake said. “That has become the most favorite part of Old First Night for a lot of people … The inscrip-tions are really where the val-ue lies. They’re very simple sentiments, but it’s so neat.”

Old First Night will also include recognitions for some of the organizational anni-versaries occurring this year, like the Bird, Tree & Garden Club’s 100th anniversary, and the Chautauqua Women’s Club’s 125th anniversary. In-stitution employee milestones will also be announced, and the Community Gift to the Chautauqua Foundation will be presented.

But before the roll calls, the Boys’ and Girls’ Club per-formances, before the post-cards, the Rev. Robert Frank-lin will deliver his first Old First Night Vespers as direc-tor of the Department of Re-

ligion. He’ll be saying words first uttered by Chautauqua co-founder Bishop John Heyl Vincent in 1874, during the first week of the first Assem-bly; they’re words that have been used every year since.

Like many other parts of Old First Night, the Vespers are a tradition as old as Chau-tauqua itself. And that means something, Karslake said.

“It’s powerful to feel a part of something. This is prob-ably the best opportunity that people have to really feel part of the Chautauqua com-munity,” he said. “They’re a part of Chautauqua, and Chautauqua is a part of them. Everything else is relatively

superficial.”There’s a pride on people’s

faces, Karslake said, when they stand and be counted for the roll call — whether they’ve been coming to Chau-tauqua for one year, 12 or 82.

“They’re proud. They’re proud of that,” Karslake said. “That has a lot of meaning that you can’t really explain, but it’s there. There’s no ques-tion about it. It’s there. Old First Night has the ability to make people feel closer to Chautauqua, and what it is, and what it feels like to be a Chautauqua. With those tra-ditions, it becomes so much more meaningful.”

In battles that occurred from May to December, there were more than 130,000 known deaths be-tween the Union and Con-federate armies combined. As this year marks 150 years since that fateful pe-riod of the Civil War, Burns will speak on the important turning points in the na-tion’s crisis of identity.

“Next spring will be the end of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, and I just wanted to put the Civil War in context in that Tuesday conversation,” Burns said.

Burns said he realized the importance of the Civil War early on in his profes-sional life. While he worked on “several, diverse films” about the Brooklyn Bridge, the Shakers, Huey Long, the Statue of Liberty and the history of the United States Congress, he real-ized at the center of each

story was one common fac-tor.

“At the heart of their sto-ry was this thing called the Civil War, and I realized I needed to know more. I needed to come to terms with it and, clearly, the country did,” he said.

His documentary series “The Civil War” aired on PBS for the first time more than 20 years ago. It remains the highest-rated program in the history of public televi-sion, he said. Burns plans to show clips from this popular documentary series.

An understanding of the Civil War is a vital factor in fully understanding the history of the United States, Burns said.

“Everything that came before it was leading up to it, unfortunately, inevitably, and everything since has been, in some way, a con-sequence of it,” he said. “So you can’t really understand America or American his-tory without understand-ing the Civil War.”

The diary’s disappear-ance centered around Rob-ert M.W. Kempner, who at one time served as as-sistant U.S. chief counsel during the International Military Tribunal at Nurem-berg. Henry Mayer, senior adviser on archives at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, said that while in official capacity in Nurem-berg, Kempner had access to any of a number of impor-tant documents — the diary among them.

The diary was never re-corded on the official record, and the rumor was that Kempner took it early on in the Nuremberg proceedings.

Mayer said that Kempner and his wife had quoted from the diary in articles and monographs they had written, including a walk Rosenberg took with Hitler

on April 2, 1941.During the walk “Hitler

told Kempner ‘Your time has come,’ and told him some mind-boggling things,” Kempner wrote of Rosen-berg.

Two months later, the Na-zis invaded the Soviet Union.

The U.S. Holocaust Me-morial Museum website said that the Kempner Col-lection had been incomplete. Kempner died in 1993, and his heirs donated a large number of documents to the museum in 1997, but the Rosenberg diary was not among them.

The trail led eventually to Lewiston, New York, where, with the help of the U.S. Im-migration and Customs En-forcement and Homeland Security Investigations, the diary was retrieved.

“As a piece of evidence gathered for the Nuremberg trials, the diary belongs to the U.S. government,” the museum’s website said.

Ask the ArchivistHas a gavel always been used to open and

close tHe season?

No. The early assemblies were opened with ringing the bell. The first documented use of the gavel was in 1904, when the General Director Scott Brown, standing in for President W. H. Hickman, “stepped to the front of the plat-form and, bearing in his hand a new gavel of olive wood from the banks of the Jordan recently presented to Bishop Vincent, struck three resounding blows on the desk.” The practice became tradition, and the gavel used by President Tom Becker today is the same as the one first used in 1904. Usually, two taps opens a meeting and three taps indicates that all should rise, but not here. The use of three taps was underscored by Curtis Haug, who said as he closed the 96th season of Chautauqua, “The place we love [tap], the program we enjoy [tap], and the spirit we feel [tap].”

This service which opens Old First Night each year is a symbolic link with Chautauqua’s beginnings. The lit any was prepared by John Vincent in 1874 for Opening Day of the first Assembly meeting in the open-air Aud it orium. It was the first time in the history of the church that an attempt had been made to concentrate on Sun day School work for two weeks in a camp meeting setting, mixing study and worship with recreation. Af ter the first Vesper Service, a Baptist, a Methodist, a Presbyterian, and a Congrega tional pastor spoke, thus creating another symbol of the openness that would always be associated with this place. In 1886, Vincent wrote that the service was used almost daily during the first Assembly and since then at the opening session of every Assembly, usually “on the first Tuesday in August.” As the season lengthened, it seemed unrealistic to have the formal opening in the middle of the season, so the ceremony’s name was changed to Old First Night in 1884.

Burns, Santana reflect on impact of ‘The Central Park Five’

Page 6 The Chautauquan Daily · www.chqdaily.com Tuesday, August 5, 2014

L e c T u r e

That larger implication is evi-dent in Burns’ film about the Cen-tral Park Five, the five black and Latino men who, as teenagers, were falsely convicted of the 1989 rape and nearly fatal beating of Trisha Meili, a white investment banker jogging in Central Park.

In 2012, 10 years after the five men’s eventual exoneration, Burns co-directed “The central Park Five” about the case with his daughter, Sarah Burns, and her husband, David McMahon.

raymond Santana, one of the five — who was 14 years old at the time of his arrest — spent five years in prison. He joined Burns in conversation about the film.

Becker moderated a conversa-tion between the two that was punctuated by footage from the documentary.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” Burns said.

“And yet, of course, when he wrote that sentence, he didn’t in-

tend it for any women. He cer-tainly didn’t intend it for African-American slaves that he owned,” Burns went on. “And so [he] set in motion a republic that is constantly dealing with this contradiction of ‘How could this have happened?’ ”

The adage that “journalism is the first rough draft of history” holds true in this case, Burns said.

“Except no one turns in a rough draft,” he said. “And one of the great failures in this case, particu-larly, is the failure of journalism. The failure of journalism to ask a simple question: Who were these five young men?”

These young men, Burns said, were “good kids, by the way, from relatively stable families, who were doing well in school, who had not had any real problems with au-thorities before this story begins to unfold.”

That inexperience with law en-forcement, Burns said, was partial-ly to blame for their convictions.

On the evening of April 19, 1989, the five were in Central Park along with 35 or 40 other boys.

“Some of them begin to hassle joggers and drunks. They roll a drunk. There’s some violence

done,” Burns said. “They try to stop bicyclists. One person is ac-tually beaten, and the police dis-perse them. And that’s about it.” In the process of this, Santana and 14-year-old Kevin richardson were arrested, along with three other boys who were in the park that night.

Meili was then discovered lying in the park, beaten to the point of unconsciousness.

“All of a sudden, it’s the biggest thing ever,” Burns said. “Let’s not forget that that same day, there were several other crimes involv-ing the death, the rapes of black women, and women of color and other minorities in the city. And this did not get the attention of a young, white — nobody knew her

name, nobody knew where she worked — who was fighting for her life at Metropolitan Hospital in East Harlem.”

Few crimes had attracted the at-tention of what would be known as the case of the Central Park jogger, which the late, former New York mayor ed Koch called “the crime of the century” in the film. This prominence, Burns said, created a sense of urgency not only for New York City police, but for journal-ists, whom he said used the police as their main or sole source.

Meanwhile, Santana, richard-son and the rest of the five did not know to “lawyer up” and knew nothing of their Miranda rights, Burns said. For more than 30 hours, police interrogated the boys individually and denied them water, food or parental supervi-sion, eventually extracting from them filmed confessions that, de-spite major factual inconsistencies, would become “essentially the key to their prosecution.”

The oldest of the five, Kharey Wise, was 16 at the time of his ar-rest, but Burns estimated that he had, and still has, a mental age of 12 due to developmental chal-

lenges. Nevertheless, because of his age, Wise was tried as an adult and would serve 13 years in prison — far longer than any of the other boys.

“This is a circular firing squad that took place over about 30 hours,” Burns said of the interro-gations. “The cops are constantly faced with a very clear evidence that all five of these kids — chil-dren — don’t know where it took place, don’t know anything about what took place, but they’re none-theless plowing through, because they think they can ‘make’ them, as they say, for this crime, and solve it, and get it done and add a feather to their cap. And they are in no rush to investigate other, strange anomalies that are taking place.”

Two days before Meili’s at-tack and the boys’ arrest, another young woman was brutally as-saulted, Burns said. She described to the police a man with stitches, who a detective successfully locat-ed by calling local hospitals.

“The cops then, oh, forgot to fol-low through on that,” Burns said.

That man, Matias reyes, would go on to rape other women, in-

We know that what happened those 13 years is justice denied.

‘Justice delayed is justice denied’

Allison levitskyStaff Writer

“J ournalism is about an event that happens, and many times, journalists ignore the ramifica-tions of that event 10 years later.

And Ken Burns’ work is off the ball. It’s at the larger effect, the larger implication, the larger collection of information,” said President Tom Becker in welcoming the documentarian Burns back to the Am-phitheater stage at 10:45 a.m. on Monday.

cluding a pregnant woman who he then murdered, until he was caught by civilians and given a life sentence.

Meanwhile, the boys were con-victed, despite a lack of real physi-cal evidence, which included DNA that did not match any of the boys. Burns said of the boys that there was “nothing of the crime scene on them and nothing of them on the crime scene.”

“everything that you worry about happening in jail hap-pened,” Burns said.

Despite opportunities to short-en their sentences by pleading guilty or testifying against others, the five served their full sentenc-es, unwilling to deny their inno-cence and wary of a justice system that had previously manipulated them, Santana said.

All five, Burns added, sought out higher education in prison and earned degrees.

Wise, who finished his sen-tence in 2002, encountered reyes in prison, a meeting that inspired reyes to admit his guilt in Meili’s attack.

“The psychopathic, sociopathic rapist-murderer has a conscience,”

Burns said, “And he goes to the warden and says, ‘You know, they didn’t do this. I did it.’ ”

reyes’ DNA matched the evi-dence in Meili’s rape kit, and in December 2002, a judge vacated the convictions, triggering what Burns called a “huge reaction-ary response” on the part of po-lice and prosecutors. The idea that “they must have done some-thing,” held by establishment fig-ures, including former New York city mayor Michael Bloomberg, survived, Burns said.

In 2003, richardson, Santana and one of the other convicted men, Antron Mccray, sued New York city for malicious prosecu-tion, racial discrimination and emotional distress.

“The city shamelessly delayed the trial, the suit,” Burns said, re-ferring to the 10-year delay to be-gin depositions after the 13 years between the boys’ arrest and their eventual exoneration.

“We know that what happened for those 13 years is justice de-nied,” he said. “Justice delayed is also justice denied.”

Santana has not held onto much anger at that injustice, he

said, emphasizing his faith as a source of relief over the last quar-ter-century.

“ ‘Why me? Why did this hap-pen to me?’ ” Santana recalled thinking when he felt he was at “rock bottom.” But after exonera-tion, he secured a job, had his now 10-year-old daughter, went back to school and met his fiancée.

“All that stuff starts to strength-en my faith, and it starts to put it back into perspective,” Santana said. “And I say, ‘You know what? He was with me this whole time.’ I just didn’t know, you know? And He comes at the right time. It’s not when you want Him. It’s when He says it’s time.”

In addition to his full-time job as a clerk at a union in New York city, Santana works as an advo-cate with the Innocence Project, a litigation and public policy orga-nization that works to exonerate the wrongfully convicted.

“We were able to take the label of the central Park Five, turn it around and turn it into something more positive,” he said.

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

Q:Please comment on facial im-agery used in the media. The

film shows humanity and warmth, while the pictures in the media show anger.

A:Ken Burns: This is the thing that was missing. The compo-

nent of the five was any question by any journalist or any member of the public about who they really were. If you go back to Macon, Georgia, or many places in the Deep South where lynchings took place or African-Americans were incarcerated, the same language of beastiality, the same language of darkness and fear of animalistic things are used and that was used by the liberal press of New York City at that time. And nobody is exempt from the guilt of having bought this. (A) very interesting side effect is that there was a murder in the early 1960s in which an African-American man from Queens attempted to help the police solve it. They decided that this help indicated his guilt. They charged him and then all the eight or nine daily newspapers ganged up and went and found and corroborated his alibis and did this. This drove the entire United States toward the Miranda ruling. It came from that case. Now you flash forward to this case. What this drove is for New York state, to finally, finally reinstate the death penalty [sarcasm]. That’s the good news that came out of this case and these are children.

Q:After your experience, do you think it’s possible for us to

have a police force that can provide justice and safety without victimiz-ing the innocent?

A: Raymond Santana: Yes, I think that what we have to do it. Look

at those, not the police themselves, but those who are in charge them-selves. Those who make the policies, procedures and the rules of the police force. Because these are the ones who are putting the police force under pressure to meet a quota. Stop and frisk was big on that, and so we have to look at that as a whole. We have to give it to those that are in charge and put those in charge who will say, “You know what, it’s time for the police in the community to work together.” Growing up, when I was younger, it was always said that a police officer knew the whole neighborhood.

knew everybody that owned the stores. He knew your mom and your dad. He knew you as a little kid until you grew up, and I think we need to get back to that.

Q:Raymond, what did your court-appointed lawyer advise you

when you told him/her you were inno-cent? Did you have the opportunity to declare innocence to the jury?

A:RS: My court-appointed attorney at that time was Peter Rivera and

I think that he was in denial also. He thought that I was guilty until he finally got somewhere in the middle of trial and I remember him saying, “You’re innocent.” He mumbled it under his breath, but it was too late. There was nothing he could do and when we got convicted I remem-ber him coming to the back and said, “Don’t worry. Five years is not a long time; you’re young.” KB: Antron had a good — more than adequate representation — and the rest were very deeply flawed defenders who essentially, as Raymond said, bought into the idea that they were guilty, and was sort of just treading water during the course of the trial. All of them came around lacking the skills to do anything about it, to the understanding that they hadn’t done it because the evidence was so circumstantial at that point that they realized that these confessions had been coerced. That there were discrepancies and inconsistencies between them. That if there was this stray DNA that no one knew and none of their testimonies indi-cated that there was anyone else there, what was that about? Film is polygraphic, and if you look at the cops and the investigators who refused to come and be interviewed by us, throughout — we called every six months — you can see that they know already. If you look at Elizabeth Le-derer, the assistant district attorney who prosecuted the case, she wins it and she’s shell shocked. You can look at her and she looks like a deer caught in the headlights. She knows deep in her soul, she knows the mistake she and her col-leagues have made and yet, just as Jim Dwyer said, they can’t let it go. But as you know, even the smallest lie, the more you tell the more it gets reinforced, the harder it is to walk it back to someplace and what we need is a kind of moment of truth and reconciliation. The New York Times and Jim Dwyer are pursuing the evidence of the 17th of April to keep the city realizing because as it looks like no cop is going to go to jail. No assistant district attorney is going to be scolded or go to jail for this and somebody’s got to be held accountable for why they let Matias Reyes go and why they prosecuted the wrong people. I don’t think it will happen but somebody has to keep up the act and fight for justice.

“My first encounter with taking the Lord’s name in vain was when I was 6 years old,” said the Rev. M. Craig Barnes. “You know how this is going to go. I was sitting at

the table and asked nicely for the potatoes twice. The third time I asked for the g.d. potatoes. I had no idea where I had learned that, but I vividly remember the taste of soap.”

The pastor delivered his sermon, “Living with the Sa-cred,” at the 9:15 a.m. morning worship service Monday in the Amphitheater. The Scripture text was Exodus 20: 7-11.

He preached on the third and fourth commandments — not to take the Lord’s name in vain and to keep the Sabbath.

Barnes described three ways to take the name of the Lord in vain: When it profanes that which is holy, when it is used to hurt people and when it is not used at all.

“God created all things out of goodness and called cre-ation good,” he said. “We profane the Lord’s name when we have the hubris and audacity to say it is not good enough. In our society, we distinguish between the secular and the sa-cred. In the Bible, the distinction is between the sacred and the profane; everything is still sacred, but it is distorted.”

Words have a sacred purpose, Barnes said.“God said let it be and it was,” he continued. “Sex has a

sacred purpose that is easily profaned. Money has a sacred purpose — stewardship — but it is profaned when it is hoarded.”

At Jesus’ crucifixion, the veil on the Holy of Holies in the temple was torn from top to bottom. “Holiness was thought to be in the land of Israel, in the holy city of Jerusalem, in the middle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies. I used to think that the veil was torn so we could go rushing in, but now I believe it was so the ‘holy’ could go rushing out, so it would never be geographically limited again.”

The second way to take the Lord’s name in vain is to use it to hurt other people.

“Religion has always had a hard time with this,” Barnes said. “In my father’s church, there were a lot of people who did not know the Bible. One year in Sunday School, we were studying Noah’s Ark. Everyone knows the story except Mrs. Schermer [the teacher]. She told us that after Noah had gath-ered all the animals in the ark they stayed for four days.

“I said actually it was 40 days, and that was far more impressive than four,” he continued. “Mrs. Schermer left in tears. My father came down to have a conversation with us. I said I was right. He said, ‘No, you weren’t, and someday you will understand.’”

Barnes continued, “No matter how right you are in theol-ogy, ethics or morality, by using the name of your liberator to hurt someone else you are not right. How many travesties have been perpetrated by people who used the Lord’s name in vain? I call this being ‘dead right’ — if you are hurting someone in the name of religion, you are dead right.”

The third way to misuse the name of the Lord is to not use it at all, to take on the role of a little messiah.

“When I was in Washington, D.C., we saw a lot of ‘mean messiahs,’ people who wanted to make a difference but, when the encountered opposition or resistance, they would try harder to improve those who disagreed with them. They would get mean trying to do something right. We would say that they were ambulance drivers who would run over people to get to the accident.”

He continued, “They were ignoring the real God — the only one who saves. Allow God to do the liberating. Pay attention so you are free to enjoy. How do you keep from being mean and dead? By keeping the Sabbath.”

To keep the Sabbath, the fourth commandment, is to be in the rhythm of work and rest. This rhythm began in Gen-esis, Barnes said. In Greek thinking, people rested in order to get back to work. In Hebrew thinking, people worked in order to have a day of rest.

“This is a day of doxology, to give thanks to God and pay attention to the blessings we have,” he told the congrega-tion. “Think of all the things you cherish — family, chil-dren, grandchildren, your mission, your breath — which did you earn, which came because of work? These are bless-ings from God’s hand.”

To “pay attention” is a synonym for spirituality; it is to follow God’s own rhythm, Barnes said.

“Burnout is not because you work too hard,” the pastor continued. “It is because you are out of the rhythm of work and rest; you are out of balance. You will never survive

without the balance and rhythm of work and rest.”Christians moved the Sabbath to Sunday to celebrate the

resurrection.“In the early church, when they met in homes and caves

and could say ‘Holy, Holy, Holy,’ they could exhale and knew that everything would be OK. The Sabbath was a day of rest, a break from their fears and anxieties; they were reassured of their mission of service. And they could stop thinking about ‘me.’ ”

Author Marva Dawn tells a story about a woman leaving church who stops at the door to greet the pastor and says “I didn’t care for the second hymn.” The pastor said to her, “We weren’t singing it to you.”

Barnes said, “Our culture is all about me, me, me. We go to work and come home thinking ‘I am the only one doing a good job and they don’t appreciate me.’ Your family does not sing the Doxology when you arrive home. When the highway is jammed, you think, ‘Why are they doing this to me?’ It is the intoxication of the self.

“By Sunday, I am surely sick and tired of me, and I want to hear a better story. I need it every week. The biblical drama is ‘In the beginning, God.’ This is your beginning. Life begins with God as the acting agent. It ends wonder-fully — with God making a holy home with mortals. Every Sabbath you come back or you get lost on the journey.”

Barnes said that when he travels on airplanes and has a talkative seat mate, eventually the person will ask what he does for a living.

“I always dread this because I either hear about their bad experiences with the church or they find out I am a Presby-terian and they will witness to me hoping to make me a real Christian,” he said.

One time, after a man told him all about the hurt he had suffered in the church, he asked Barnes why he continued to go to church. The pastor answered him, “It is the only way I can keep my freedom. In twos and threes, Jesus is there. I am not the Messiah, but I have one and I am sane again. Sabbath rhythm is the only way to fulfill my mission.”

The Rev. Robert M. Franklin presided. The Rev. William N. Jackson, former director of the Department of Religion, read the scripture. The Motet Choir sang “Prepare the Royal Highway” with the text by Frans Mikael Franzén and the music a Swedish folk tune arranged by Timothy A. Shaw. Jared Jacobsen, organist and worship coordinator, conducted the choir. The Mr. and Mrs. William Uhler Follansbee Memorial Chaplaincy supports this week’s services.

LakewoodN e w Yo r k on beauti fu l Chautauqua Lake

Emma FoEhringEr mErchantStaff Writer

With its Week Seven seminar class “Accents and Dialects” and the opening of The Tempest at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Chautauqua The-ater Company’s emphasis this week is what special studies instructor Chris Corporandy called “the music of the language.”

Acting in Shakespeare and using an unfamiliar accent both require train-ing focused on the pronun-ciation and flow of spoken words. The class and the Shakespearean produc-tion collectively show the onstage and behind-the-scenes concentration on language that is central to an actor’s work.

“The elocution of Shakespeare’s language demands a lot,” said CTC Artistic Director Vivienne Benesch. “A Shakespeare play is much more athletic than a lot of contemporary drama — what it requires physically, in terms of breath.”

Voice and speech coach Deb Hecht works with CTC conservatory and guest artists to be able to accomplish the verbal ex-ercise that is Shakespeare. According to Benesch, Hecht says training for Shakespeare is similar to training like an athlete.

“We give it a week lon-ger than any other show to rehearse,” Benesch said. “You have to really work at making the language your own, in terms of un-derstanding exactly what you’re saying so that the audience understands ex-actly what they’re hear-ing.”

Meanwhile, Corporan-dy instructs a younger au-dience in his Special Stud-ies class on accents and dialects, sending students home with monologues to practice throughout the weeklong class.

“Accents and dialects are hard work,” Benesch said. “They’re really fun, but they’re also very spe-cific, very detail-oriented.”

An accent is the pro-nunciation of english by a non-native speaker, while a dialect is a way of speak-ing English specific to a country or region where it is the native language. In last year’s class, Corporan-dy instructed students in a Russian accent and Cock-

ney, Irish and Queen’s english dialects.

“ ‘Accents and Dialects’ is fun; I think people just get a blast out of it,” Cor-porandy said.

Last year, one student was so committed to learn-ing an Irish dialect that he followed up the week with private lessons from Cor-porandy.

“He worked and worked and worked, and by the end of it, he really had it down,” Corporandy said.

The actor and instructor said the class teaches the basic tools needed to pick out linguistic differences in pronunciation, similar to the language work ac-tors undergo in rehearsal.

Benesch said the class adds a backstage element to CTC’s seasonal pro-gramming, offering a por-tal into how actors train for different productions.

“Chris is giving people a great opportunity to ex-periment with how fun it is, but also to demonstrate what hard work it is,” Ben-esch said. “There is a de-mand for more specific in-volvement on many levels, so it’s a way to enhance their experience of what the company is doing but also their own interests in many different facets of the process of theatermak-ing.”

While CTC’s conser-vatory rehearses Shake-speare’s musical language in Brawdy Theater Studios for The Tempest, this week’s Special Studies allows Chautauquans the chance to also engage in speech practice with Corporandy.

“I hope in the long term that this will continue to grow and be one of the ele-ments that helps grow our audience of the future as well as our theatermakers of the future,” he said.

Throughout the summer, the nOW Generation, made up of Chautauquans aged 21 to 40, has been hosting a va-riety of events for young in-dividuals and families. Last Wednesday, the nOW Gen gathered at Fowler-Kellogg Art Center for a gallery re-ception and exclusive tour of the School of Art’s Annual Student exhibition

“I’ve lived across the street from Fowler-Kellogg forever and don’t really ever come in,” said nOW Gen Advisory Council member Russell Bermel. “But this event is a nice moment for all of our friends to come to-gether mid-week, take a tour and see what it has to offer.”

During the off-season, Bermel said, it can “be dif-ficult to envision how all of this will come together, but for me, being here and at other things that we’ve done this summer have been proof positive of how great [the nOW Gen] is, how im-portant the work is and how

grateful we all are to be a part of it.”

For Bermel, the best part about being involved in the nOW Gen has been the posi-tive feedback from Chautau-qua and the administration.

Bermel said nOW Gen offered him an opportunity to be involved in Chautau-qua as a young adult after going through and working as a counselor for Boys’ and Girls’ Club on the grounds.

“We’re still very active,” Bermel said. “We want to be involved. I think we under-stand the tradition of Chau-tauqua and we want to pre-serve that, but also recognize that it’s ever-evolving and it’s modernizing in front of our eyes and we want to be a part of that.”

Representing the School of Art at the event was Mat-thew Smith, who works in the ceramics studio as a kiln technician. Smith was a stu-dent at Chautauqua in 2007 and 2012, and has been back for the past two summers as an employee. He emphasized that, regardless of age, every member of the Chautauqua

community has something to offer the Institution’s culture.

“everybody is bringing something to the table, so with the nOW Generation, they’re going to bring some-thing that’s very unique,” Smith said. “People between 21 and 40 have a different idea and a different vision about what this place will be, what it will offer, and that’s going to be important for the Institution’s future.”

After enjoying cocktails and appetizers on the gallery’s porch, those in attendance were invited inside for the fi-nal tour of the student show.

“What’s really nice is we have a student exhibition up tonight and it closes tomor-row,” said Judy Barie, galler-ies director, as she welcomed the guests. “We’re really happy that we could have the nOW Generation here to experience the gallery.

For lighting director Mi-chael Baumgarten, his job is a lot less grandiose.

“I’m a grown up, and I turn lights on and off,” he said. “That’s what I do for a living.”

ever since 1994, when Baumgarten paired up with Artistic/General Director Jay

Lesenger for Giuseppe Ver-di’s La traviata, Baumgarten has been in control of stage lighting for opera at Chau-tauqua.

Like Lesenger, Baumgar-ten is celebrating 20 years with the Chautauqua opera Company this season.

In the off-season — or

“real life,” as he calls it — Baumgarten is the director of production and resident lighting designer for opera Carolina, where his roles in-clude company staffer, bud-geter, scheduler and housing organizer.

Although productions like Madam Butterfly and The Ballad of Baby Doe rely on a carefully planned system of lighting, Baumgarten, after several decades in the busi-ness, denies his great impor-tance.

“I try not to take it too se-riously,” he said. “I wouldn’t take it seriously if I were a doctor or a lawyer. It’s just the way I’m wired.”

Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, Baumgarten had a natural love for theater. In high school, he found his way into comedy leads, star-ring in roles like Prez, the skirt-chasing union presi-dent in the ’50s musical Pa-jama Game, and Mr. MacAfee in Bye Bye Birdie. Come time for college, Baumgarten looked toward Binghamton University with the aim to become an actor. However, his parents had more tradi-tional goals for their theater-loving son.

“I was in Brooklyn, there was no choice,” he said. “You were either a doctor or a law-yer. In my neighborhood, the definition of a pre-law stu-

dent is a Jewish boy who can’t stand the sight of blood.”

Baumgarten knew his sight of Broadway was brighter than his parent’s aspirations. But sooner than later, the freshman quickly realized that he “didn’t have the chops to become an ac-tor.” Intimidated by the class-A quality that surrounded him, Baumgarten aimed to find another route to the stage. After one class in the-atrical lighting, Baumgarten found his “shtick.” He would confess such to his parents four years later.

And today at Chautauqua, the lighting director knows his shtick well.

At Norton Hall, changes and fluctuations in light-ing are carefully plotted out beforehand (what he calls the “light plot”) with what Baumgarten names “arti-sanal lighting.”

During a lighting run-through, Baumgarten is straight-faced: If he makes one wrong cue, then the whole show could be out of sync. Sitting in a makeshift lighting board on the ground floor, Baumgarten and his assistant run through a show song by song, minute by minute. With the director’s help, Baumgarten inches through a piece, recording lighting cues, calling to his test subjects on stage to move

props and to stand under downstage lights.

All cues are numbered by Baumgarten and are played back in sequence and in a precise order of time in sync with the music.

Sometimes he’ll suggest a variation — “How about we exit on blue, instead of black?” — other times, it’s the director’s call.

Many times, Baumgarten said, he sees his job as pri-marily a means for what the director envisions.

“I’m sort of like an eye doctor — ‘Do you like this better or do you like this better?’ ” Baumgarten said. “And I show them different variations: If you don’t like one, you might like two.”

With Baumgarten’s antics, however, it’s not always the director’s word that controls the cues.

Some years ago, at opera Carolina, one of Baumgar-ten’s daughters was sitting in the front row of the theater during a lighting. Looking at his kid and then back to the director, Baumgarten decid-ed to cut a deal.

“If the baby cries, she doesn’t like the cues, and we’ll have to fix it,” he said.

“But if she giggles, we can keep the cue.”

Yet it’s not that Baumgar-ten, like the directors he works with, doesn’t want tears. As a matter of fact, the lighting director is hop-ing, more than anything, to create and stir the mood of the audience through his lighting. To reap the feeling of spring in Madam Butter-fly’s “Un bel di vedremo,” the “sun” has to provide suffi-cient warmth, just the right contrast. The intimacy of a night-scene duet between Horace Tabor and his love, “Baby” Doe, begs for soft, fo-cused beams.

The ultimate role of the lighting director, Baumgar-ten said, is to create the “au-tomatic response” the audi-ence has to the characters and their music, “underscor-ing” the director’s artistic in-tent. If the lighting is wrong — say, warm, heavy light when it should be light-blue — then the wrong emotional message can be conveyed.

“We’re creating the atmo-sphere,” he said. “If we miss on creating the atmosphere, then the audience is lost. They’re spending valuable time when they could be en-joying the performance, try-ing to catch up with us.”

Yet only so much can go into the planning stage of a show. What makes Baumgar-ten’s job worthwhile is the “art that’s being created” together with the rest of the crew. It’s the spontaneous work of the imagination, he said, that cues the right ideas for the stage.

“It’s when you start trying stuff that a light comes on,” he said, “and you go, ‘Hey, that actually works.’ ”

When teachers John Denton, Pie Kasbar, Gretch-en hathaway, heidi Zarou and Tiffany Clementi-Hammes all sat down to-gether to write this year’s annual Children’s School “Troll Play,” they figured they would try something new.

“In the previous years it’s been mostly about love,” Kasbar said.

This time around, she said, it’s more so about “training [little] trolls.”

In honor of the Old First Night celebration, the Chil-dren’s School hosts its an-nual “Troll Play” at 10 a.m. today at Smith Wilkes Hall.

Kasbar and her fellow playwrights believe that this year’s show will just be as “zany” as those of the past.

Featuring an egg-laying troll who falls head-over-heels with a hunchback damsel, zany shouldn’t be that difficult to reach.

Denton, who plays said hunchback damsel, is ex-cited to be part of the show, which he’s been involved with for more than a de-cade.

Putting his wit into the annual play, Denton also hopes that his work will garner a good amount of donations for Chautauqua’s birthday.

Dressing up as a troll’s girlfriend, he said, is one way to do it.

“We raise our money mainly through bake sales and troll plays,” Denton said.

The big, bad troll him-self, Kit Trapasso, has made a name for himself around the Institution for the role, which he’s been doing for 15 years. Stomping bare-foot around on stage in a clown wig and jumping in the Bestor Plaza fountain, for him, is one of the high-lights of the Chautauqua summer.

“It’s always been a lot of fun,” he said.

Kasbar believes that there’s no one more ap-propriate to be starring on stage.

“he is by far one of the best things about Chil-dren’s School,” she said. “And we just want to show just how wonderful he is.”

And this year, Trapasso, as “ice cream stealer” and “troll trainer,” will be lead-ing kids in a number of songs and hopes to muster a healthy amount of audi-ence participation.

He will also be guid-ing kids around Chautau-qua on a “troll scavenger hunt,” putting to use the “ice cream searching skills” that are crucial in every troll’s repertoire — along with the musical energy.

Hathaway, who will be narrating today’s show and providing its musical direc-tion, is excited to lead the kids in troll-themed song — especially the “Trolls Grow One by One” rewrite — and strumming her ukulele on stage. She’s also looking forward to the ice cream finale.

“That should be reason enough to come,” Hatha-way said.

Annual ‘Troll Play’ puts on the silly scares for Children’s School

Mike kasardaStaff Writer

Reporter’s Note: Each week, the directors at Boys’ and Girls’ Club recognize a few Club counselors who performed ex-ceptionally within their groups. After an eventful Week Six with Air Band and Old First Night Run/Walk/Swim, Club directors named Annika Borg-Sundstrom, Helen Himebaugh and Chelsea Poletto “Coun-selors of the Week.” The Daily met up with Borg-Sundstrom and Himebaugh to talk about Quidditch, Elvis and one special night for Chautauquans.

Air Band seems to take a

lot of preparation. How did you prepare your group for the performance?

Borg-Sundstrom: Air Band is really stressful. It’s a lot of work. We started working on developing our theme, “#throwbackthurs-day,” during the first week of Club. We talked about ideas while we were in the ravine, so we wouldn’t be super stressed during the week of Air Band.

Himebaugh: We started doing tryouts for leads dur-ing the beginning of Week Five.

Borg-Sundstrom: Last week, we made all our ac-tivities tie into a harry Potter theme, so the girls wouldn’t be too preoccupied with what was going on with Air Band.

Why did you decide to theme this past week after Harry Potter?

Himebaugh: We love Har-ry Potter.

Borg-Sundstrom: We were talking about it one day at Club, and all the girls chimed in and said they love it, too. So we decided to make it our theme of the week. On Monday we made a “Sorting Hat” and sorted the girls into houses.

Himebaugh: We put them in houses and gave each of the houses points. During track and field day, they re-ceived points if they won an event. If they picked up trash, they got points.

Borg-Sundstrom: A lot of the girls don’t like getting in the water, so we gave them points if their entire house got in the water. We also played Quidditch on Friday.

How did you come up with your theme for Air Band, “#throwbackthurs-day”?

Borg-Sundstrom: We were

talking about Beyoncé and some other random things when I, all of a sudden, re-alized that Air Band is on a Thursday. I know on the In-stitution’s Instagram account they always post pictures with “#tbt,” so I figured it would be a perfect theme. We used old songs that cor-responded to different de-cades.

Himebaugh: We includ-ed a song by Elvis, “Danc-ing in the Street,” “Dancing Queen,” “Baby One More Time,” “Footloose,” “Hey Ya!” and “Happy.” My favor-ite was “Hey Ya!”

Borg-Sundstrom: I liked all of the songs. I think the outfits we made for the Elvis song were the cutest. Bella’s mom bought an Elvis cos-

tume. For the background dancers, I cut out felt skirts, and Mrs. Prechtl helped me make little records to put on them. It was a lot of fun.

Since you’re performing on Tuesday for Old First Night, do you have to pre-pare anymore?

Himebaugh: A lot of the girls who were background dancers during Week Six won’t be here for Old First Night. We have to teach the new girls the dances, and we only have Monday and Tues-day to teach them. Getting costumes is the hardest part.

Borg-Sundstrom: We told some of the girls they could keep their costumes without realizing we were perform-ing again, so now we have to ask for them back. We’re per-

forming with Group 2 Girls and Boys and SAC Girls.

What’s special about Old First Night for you?

Himebaugh: I think it’s really cool to have all the generations of Chautauqua come together.

Borg-Sundstrom: They do a generation roll call and have people stand up based on how many generations their families have been coming here. We’re both fifth-generation Chautau-quans so it’s really cool when we get to stand up.

Himebaugh: They also honor the oldest Chautau-quans. That’s really cool, too.

Borg-Sundstrom: March-ing with the Groupers, dressing up and singing the Club song are all a lot of fun.

Audience etiquetteAt the heart of Chautauqua’s performance life is the Amphitheater. This venerable structure, built in 1893, offers a unique listening experience, which requires the cooperation of all audience members. • Seating is non-reserved for all Amphitheater events with the exception of premium seating for certain 8:15 pm programs and orchestra concerts, when Symphony Patron seats are reserved until after the first selection or movement. • Saving seats is discouraged and audience members are encouraged to arrive early, especially for the busy Friday night specials when attendance is heavy. • For the safety of audience members, aisles must remain clear. • Smoking, food and drink (with the exception of water bottles) are prohibited in all performance venues. Animals (with the

exception of dogs assisting disabled people) are also prohibited in performance venues. • Coming late and leaving early are discouraged. If this cannot be avoided, do so as quietly and discreetly as possible via the side aisles. Do not enter or exit through the tunnels on either side of the Amphitheater stage during a performance. • Audience and performers alike are disturbed by unnecessary noise and commotion. Crying or vocal children, squeaky strollers and buggies and barking dogs should be taken out of audience hearing range during performances. • Audience members who listen from the fence surrounding the Amphitheater should limit their noise or cigarette smoke so as not to disturb others. • Audience members should be aware that many people are sensitive and/or allergic to perfumes and other fragrances. • Computers, cell phones, pagers and laptops must be silenced in all performance facilities.

As the 2014 season pro-gresses, the Chautauqua Foun-dation has been hard at work to ensure the Institution’s future on behalf of the entire

Chautauqua community.And with a newly an-

nounced matching gift pro-gram, community members can now make their lead-ership contributions to the Chautauqua Fund stretch even further.

Through the generosity of the Edward L. Anderson Jr. Foundation, brothers Steve and Dave Anderson have of-fered to underwrite a new 2014 matching gift program for those who contribute to the Chautauqua Fund.

“It’s a three-two-one matching program that they’ve made available for us as a tool,” said Jack McCredie, co-chair of the annual fund. This opportunity provides significant funds to maxi-mize giving to the Chautau-qua Fund.

The “three” refers to the newly created Lewis Miller Circle of the NOW Genera-tion; Young chautauquans — who are 21 to 40 years of age — join the Lewis Miller Circle with a $250 contribu-tion, the gift is matched three times over for a total impact to Chautauqua of $1,000.

The “two” is for the $1,874 contribution to become a new member of the 1874 Society. New members of the 1874 So-ciety will see their gift dou-bled for a total $5,622 impact.

The “one” is for new com-mitments to the Bestor Soci-ety: a $3,500 gift will have an impact of $7,000.

“This is a wonderful op-portunity for community members to maximize their gifts to Chautauqua,” said Tina Downey, director of the Chautauqua Fund. “I am sim-ply delighted by the generos-ity of the Anderson family in helping to inspire leadership participation in the Chautau-qua Fund.”

This gift-matching pro-gram is in effect now through Dec. 31.

To learn more about philanthro-py at Chautauqua or to partici-pate in the 3.2.1. Matching Gift Opportunity, please contact Tina Downey at 716-357-6406 or tdowney@ciweb.org.

Painter Barry Nemett has traveled to Italy, Spain, France and China and has painted the scenery and landscapes of all those countries.

“I’ve enjoyed every place I’ve ever visited and get something different out of every place,” he said.

Nemett will discuss the role his travels have played in his work during the last VACI lecture of the season at 7 p.m. today in the Hultquist Center.

Nemett has traveled to and lived in Italy on mul-tiple occasions, and due to the sheer amount of time he has spent there, it ranks among his favorite coun-tries to visit.

“I go there the most, and keep returning to a certain town in Umbria, Italy,” he said. “I’ve gotten to know the place and, of course, the peo-ple who inhabit the place.”

Among his Italy paint-ings are scenes of the Um-

brian countryside and of the Tiber River.

Nemett has also written a novel called Crooked Tracks, a “sort of coming of age story” of a boy where art plays a role. The publisher included 20 color reproduc-tions of famous paintings by the Old Masters and 20th century artists like Edward Hopper in the book, he said.

“The main character writes these poems about the subject matter that’s ap-parent in the imagery,” he said. “They help move the narrative along.”

Nemett paints, draws, writes and creates instal-lations, but said he doesn’t have a concrete reason on why he moves across media.

“I think one art form seems to allow me to commu-nicate ideas or investigate a particular thought,” he said.

Nemett has taught for 43 years and is the chair of the painting department at the Maryland Institute College of Art. While some artists

dislike teaching because of the time it takes away from their studio processes, Nemett said he has found that his teaching has only enriched his work.

“I’m one who does not feel that teaching compromises an artist’s work,” he said.

While it does take time away from his studio prac-tice, Nemett believes that teaching helps him express his ideas that may have re-mained “ephemeral or am-biguous” without discus-sion, he said.

“When you have to ar-ticulate something to a stu-dent or a class of students that helps clarify those thoughts,” he said.

Over the past 40 years, Nemett has not been “burnt out” by or tired with teach-ing.

“It’s really invigorating for me,” he said. “I’m not in it for the money, I’m doing it because it feeds my soul and it feeds my studio pro-cess.”
