Sanders  offers  hope  for  change

Bernie  Sanders:  Restoring  the  American  dream  The  intensity  was  there.  The  spark  was  there.  The  bombastic  political  rhetoric  has  never  left.  But  at  the  moment  Bernie  Sanders  stepped  up  to  the  podium  late  Tuesday  afternoon  to  announce  his  candidacy  for  the  president  of  the  United  States,  there  was  something  new:  His  voice  cracked  and  his  demeanor  softened  as  he  humbly  and  graciously  thanked  all  those  in  the  crowd  and  throughout  Vermont’s  largest  city  for  their  44  years  of  support. “This  is  an  emotional  day  for  me,â€?  Vermont’s  junior  senator  told  the  crowd  RI SOXV Âł1RW MXVW IRU ZKDW ,ÂśP JRLQJ WR EH VD\LQJ EXW WR VHH VR PDQ\ people  here  and  to  hear  what’s  been  said.  Thank  you  very  much.â€?  It  was  heart-­felt,  and  if  you  were  in  the  audience,  you  sensed  he  was  see-­ ing  a  lifetime  of  political  struggle  culminate  in  a  single  announcement,  a  JRDO VR ORIW\ ZKHQ KH ÂżUVW VWDUWHG LQ SROLWLFV PRUH WKDQ IRXU GHFDGHV DJR WKDW now  it  seemed  almost  unreal.  But  there  he  was   —  born  into  a  lower-­middle  income  family  that  lived  in  a  rent-­controlled  apartment  in  Brooklyn,  son  of  a  Polish  immigrant  and  a  mother  who  died  too  young  to  realize  her  dream  of  a  house  of  her  own  —  making  his  announcement  in  the  waterfront  park  he  had  KHOSHG FUHDWH LQ WKH FLW\ KH KDV FDOOHG KRPH VLQFH WKH V It  was  a  moment  that  told  more  than  words  can  say.

Angelo  Lynn’s  Memorial  Day  editorial  “We’re  siding  with  Bernieâ€?  perfectly  expresses  the  thoughts  of  many  Sanders  supporters.  We  thank  him  and  hope  his  message  will  help  inspire  Vermonters  who  have  been  hesitant  to  jump  into  the  campaign. It  was  disheartening  that  Bernie’s  long-­awaited  entry  into  the  2016  presidential  race  met  largely  with  silence  or  the  response  —  even  by  many  who  had  urged  him  to  run  —  that  he  has  little  chance  against  Hillary  Clinton. Certainly  Clinton,  with  her  money  and  connections,  is  the  Democratic  establishment  candidate.  But  while  she’s  a  far  lesser  evil  than  any  potential  Republican  nominee,  she  generates  little  enthusiasm  or  hope  of  real  change  for  the  better. In  contrast,  Bernie  genuinely  champions  ideals  and  objectives  that  would  improve  the  lives  of  ordinary  Vermonters  and  Americans.  He  is  sincere,  straightforward,  dedicated,  and  appears  as  uncorrupted  and  in-­ corruptible  as  a  senior  politician  can  be.  Angelo’s  editorial  has  it  right:  If  we  acknowledge  Bernie’s  qualities  and  the  importance  of  his  mes-­ sage  and  then  endorse  Clinton,  we  DGYDQFH WKH VHOI IXOÂżOOLQJ SURSKHF\ that  meaningful  change  is  impossi-­ EOH DQG ZH VDFULÂżFH RXU IXWXUH DQG our  children’s  and  grandchildren’s  futures  to  that  prophecy. Bernie’s  energy  and  passion  about  issues  that  matter  are  our  best  hope  and  deserve  our  equally  energetic  response.  Why  would  we  write  off  the  candidate  we  really  want?  Let’s  commit  ourselves  to  primary  victo-­ ries  for  Bernie  in  as  many  states  as  possible,  above  all  in  Vermont.

ton.  However,  a  Vermont  primary  victory  could  also  turn  out  to  be  “the  last  hurrah�  for  the  Sanders  presiden-­ tial  campaign.  Eric  L.  Davis  is  professor  emeri-­ tus  of  political  science  at  Middlebury  College.

Ted Panicucci Sr., 86, Middlebury MIDDLEBURY  —  Ted  Panicucci  Sr.,  86,  of  Middlebury  went  home  to  be  with  the  Lord  on  May  22,  2015,  at  the  age  of  86,  with  his  wife,  Jean,  at  his  side. Ted  was  born  on  Aug.  15,  1928,  in  Belle  Vernon,  Pennsylvania.  He  spent  much  of  his  life  living  in  New  Jersey  before  moving  to  Vermont  in  1972. Ted  served  in  the  U.S.  Army  under  General  MacArthur  in  1947  and  1948  stationed  in  occupied  Japan.  At  17  Ted  started  working  for  the  A&P  Tea  Company  as  a  stocker.  It  was  quickly  recognized  that  he  excelled  in  accounting  and,  upon  his  return  from  the  military,  was  quickly  moved  into  a  position  of  auditor  and  then  gradu-­ ated  to  district  purchaser. Ted  became  the  Director  of  the  Green  Pond  Nursing  and  Convalescent  Home  in  Green  Pond,  New  Jersey,  in  1963  and  remained  there  until  moving  his  family  to  beautiful  Middlebury,  Vermont.

In  addition  to  running  his  busi-­ ness,  The  Village  Store  Antiques,  Ted  was  a  deacon  of  the  Memorial  Baptist  Church  for  10  years,  an  occa-­ sional  guest  speaker,  and  a  constant  supporter  of  the  church  and  its  activi-­ ties.  He  was  an  avid  supporter  of  his  children  and  grandchildren  in  athlet-­ ics,  theater,  music  and  their  careers,  always  available  with  cogent  advice. Above  all,  Ted  was  a  loving  husband  and  is  survived  by  his  dear  wife,  Jean  Panicucci.  He  is  also  survived  by  his  children,  Steve,  Nancy  and  partner  Alan,  Ted  and  spouse  Pam,  and  Jane  and  spouse  Barbara;Íž  and  his  grandchildren,  Tania  and  Eric.

On  health  care  and  protecting  the  nation’s  most  vulnerable  citizens,  he  referred  to  President  Franklin  D.  Roosevelt’s  frequent  refrain  that  “a  nation’s  greatness  is  judged  not  by  what  it  provides  to  the  most  well-­off,  but  how  it  treats  the  people  most  in  need.  And  that’s  the  kind  of  nation  we  must  become,â€?  said  Sanders.

Summer  program  trains  teachers  in  digital  media MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Vermont  Folklife  Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Summer  Institute,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discovering  Community:  Students,  Digital  Media,  and  Place-­Based  Learning,â&#x20AC;?  brings  together  educators  for  an  intensive  five-­ day  program  July  13-­17  in  Middlebury. The  institute  offers  partici-­ pants  basic  hands-­on  experience  learning  the  methods  of  commu-­ nity-­based  research,  the  process  of  making  a  mini  documentary,  and  the  skills  of  working  with  digital  media  in  a  school  setting. Past  participants  have  come  from  a  broad  spectrum  of  roles  in  the  K-­16  system,  includ-­ ing  classroom  teachers,  special  educators,  librarians  and  admin-­ istrators.  This  diversity  makes  group  process  a  rich  opportunity  to  explore  ideas,  probe  models,  and  collaboratively  visualize  site-­appropriate  applications. Over  the  course  of  an  action-­ packed  week,  Discovering  Community  participants  work  with  cultural  researchers,  media  specialists  and  fellow  educators  to  explore  the  power  of  ethno-­ graphic  field  research  and  tech-­ niques  for  working  with  digital  audio,  video  and  photography  as  documentary  tools.  Using  the  Middlebury  community Â

as  a  classroom,  Discovering  Community  models  simple  strat-­ egies  for  deepening  studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  relationships  to  their  own  hometowns. The  Discovering  Community  Summer  Institute  builds  on  the  Vermont  Folklife  Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  many  years  partnering  with  educators  on  community-­based  projects,  the  ever-­expanding  array  of  digi-­ tal  devices  with  recording  capa-­ bilities,  and  the  do-­it-­yourself  editing  and  production  oppor-­ tunity  that  digital  technology  affords.  Three  graduate  credits  are  available  through  Castleton  State  College  upon  completion  of  this  course. Stories  and  storytelling  are  at  the  center  of  this  experience,  and  as  one  participant  observed,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  personal  gain  of  realizing  that  there  are  millions  of  stories  in  our  own  backyards  that  are  10  times  more  interesting  than  People  magazine  is  something  that  I  will  cherish.â&#x20AC;?

Honoring and remembering

THE MIDDLEBURY MEMORIAL Day parade was hit with a light sprinkle and crowds in Vergennes faced heavy rain before the start of their parade, but spirits were not dampened and large crowds lined Main Streets in both Ad-­ dison County locations Monday morning. Veterans, marching bands, local organizations, young athletes, politicians, Scouts, emergency workers and plenty of people, both young and old, tossing candy to parade-­goers were featured. After both parades, ceremonies were held to honor and remember those who gave their lives protecting America. Senator and presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, who marched in both parades, spoke to the crowd in Vergennes about the great tradition of holding Memorial Day parades and ceremonies.
