Alberto Gonza-les believes most Americans have no clue what their rights to privacy are.

The former U.S. Attorney General and current dean of Belmont Univer-sity College of Law hopes to help clar-ify the legal lan-guage of privacy in a discussion led by Duquesne Univer-sity’s School of Law Dean Ken Gormley. Gonza-les and Gormley will speak at 10:45 a.m today in the Amphitheater, rounding out Week Three’s lecture platform on “The Ethics of Privacy.”

“Many people just throw out this notion, ‘I have this right to pri-vacy, whatever that means,’ ” Gonzales said.

What does pri-vacy mean? What is the scope of pri-vacy in law? How is the law limited? Are there excep-tions to these laws? These are some of the questions Gon-zales hopes to an-swer today.

“The legal con-cept of privacy is

pretty nuanced,” Gonza-les said. “It changes all the time with decisions by the courts and with laws passed by Congress.”

Recent public discourse has re-volved around the importance of, and trade-off between, privacy and secu-rity. One can’t eas-ily weigh the two, however, without first un-derstanding what makes privacy valuable at all.

Michael P. Lynch, writer, professor of philosophy and director of the Human-ities Institute at the Uni-versity of Connecticut, will examine what makes pri-vacy valuable from a philo-sophical point of view in a lecture titled “Why Privacy Matters” at 2 p.m. today in the Hall of Philosophy. Week Three’s Interfaith Lecture theme is “The Ethi-cal Tensions of Privacy vs. Interdependence.”

“What does make pri-vacy valuable, other things being equal? What’s so

good about it?” Lynch said. “I think if we can figure out some answers to those very basic questions, then we can apply them to some of the puzzles and conundrums of our daily lives right now.”

A loss of privacy is not only akin to, but can lead to, a loss of autonomy, he said.

Consider the possibility of someone with the abil-ity to read someone else’s mind, someone with ac-cess to all his thoughts and feelings — there’s some-thing definitely wrong and creepy with that scenario, Lynch said. One loses his sense of individualism and essentially becomes an ob-ject to be manipulated, and the inability to control the mind reader’s access causes one to inadvertently lose his liberty, too.

Among the many notable people who have walked Chau-tauqua’s grounds, Thomas Alva Edison might well have been the most influential person in Ameri-ca’s day-to-day life.

In addition to his many indi-vidual inventions, Edison created a model for modern industrial re-search.

As part of the Oliver Archives Heritage Lecture Series, Paul Isra-el will give a talk titled “Thomas Edison and the Transformation of Technological Innovation” at 3:30 p.m. today in the Hall of Christ.

Israel, author of Edison: A Life

of Invention, serves as the proj-ect director of the Edison Papers Project at Rutgers University, a collaborative endeavor that seeks to organize, transcribe, annotate and digitize a massive number of documents associated with Edi-son’s life.

According to the Thomas Edison Papers website, nearly 175,000 document images are now available in the program’s digital archives.

Included with the Edison Pa-pers are the Edison and Mina Miller biographies. Mina Miller was the daughter of Chautauqua co-founder Lewis Miller, and Ed-ison’s second wife. Accustomed to the rough and tumble ways

of a Chautauqua summer, Mina also was sophisticated and expe-rienced in society, having been raised in a progressive, educa-tion-centered family.

Israel said that Edison’s first wife, Mary Stilwell, did not take special interest in her husband’s enterprises, and Edison once commented that she couldn’t in-vent worth a damn.

Miller, on the other hand, be-came involved in witnessing his notebooks — that is, she acted as a corroborating observer of Edi-son’s experiments, sometimes re-cording entries and transcribing others.

The Amphitheater tonight will be flooded with the sounds of the South as country su-perstar Jennifer Nettles kicks off the second leg of her That Girl Tour 2014 at 8:15 p.m.

Nettles is the front woman for the coun-try duo Sugarland, but will be promoting her solo album, That Girl, which was re-leased this past January. Although she has never been to Chautauqua before, Nettles said she is eager to perform in the heart of the Institution: the Amphitheater.

“I’ve heard wonderful things about this venue and obviously I love the area. It’s beautiful,” she said. “It’s really a wonderful space so I’m excited to get to play there.”

Although performance location may seem irrelevant to a musician during a long tour, Nettles said that she prefers to play in environments that relate to and reflect the music itself.

“The first leg of [the tour] I did tour most-ly theaters, which is a wonderful, intimate environment to be able to play this album because it’s much more nuanced in style and nature,” Nettles said. “Now, I’m getting to go out and do these beautiful, intimate, quaint amphitheaters, which I think is also going to be super fun.”

And Nettles has not been traveling alone. She has been supported on this tour by fellow singer and songwriter, Brandy Clark. Clark has written for top country artists such as The Band Perry, Darius Rucker and Miranda Lambert — among others.

“Everybody really knows her as a writer first and foremost because that’s how she came into the industry,” Nettles said. “Ev-erybody knows a lot of her songs, but they don’t know her as an artist. She’s really fan-tastic.”

In the forests and fields of Western New York, pools of rainwater ripple with

the growth of pollywogs, salamanders and in-sect larvae. These mud puddles, known to the scientific community as vernal pools, serve as an important habitat for the emergence of warm weather creatures.

While many may think of these quagmires as noth-ing more than a breeding ground for nuisance pests, master naturalist Chris Col-lins holds a different point of view.

After all, one man’s pud-dle is another man’s sala-mander pool.

Working together with the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy, Collins will lead a tour at 10:30 a.m. to-day in the Houston Hollow Preserve in West Ellicott as he and participants looks for signs of vernal pools in the area.

“My hope is that we find some evidence of an indica-tor species,” Collins said. “If we do find one, like a spotted salamander, then chances are that there are one or more vernal pools in the area.”

Collins earned his master naturalist certification from the Cornell Cooperative Ex-tension, a program designed to educate adults in the area about the natural environ-

ment through science-based methods. Certain require-ments, like volunteer work, need to be fulfilled to keep the certification, so Collins decided to lead tours for the CWC starting with the one at Houston Hollow.

The Houston Hollow Pre-serve is a protected 1.3-acre plot of forest surrounded by a residential area and Sam’s Club. It is Collins’ belief that the site is one of many in the Chautauqua Lake area that plays host to vernal pools needed by certain species to survive during the spring mating season.

However, vernal pools are

often drained and destroyed by contractors or homeown-ers because of their associa-tion with mosquito propaga-tion, so many other species suffer the brunt of the attack when offensive measures are taken against the bloodsuck-ers.

“I’m trying to get peo-ple to understand why we shouldn’t drain these ar-eas,” Collins said. “I’d like to spend some more time look-ing into state certification for the protection of these ver-nal pools. I know Massachu-setts has a system, but I’m not sure about New York.”

The tour today is free

for members of the CWC, while non-members are en-couraged to donate $5. Par-ticipants will listen to a talk given by Collins on the im-portance of vernal pools be-fore spreading out in search of spotted salamanders, wood frogs or other indi-cator species. Waterproof boots, mud clothes and bug spray should be brought to the tour.

The tour group will meet in the parking lot of Fairmount Plaza in West Ellicott across from the Sam’s Club at 10:15 a.m. The CWC can be reached at 716-664-2166 with questions about the tour.

For many, pri-vacy equates secu-rity, whether it be personal security, home security or national security.

At 4 p.m. today in the Hall of Phi-losophy, Adriana Sanford hopes to communicate the need for Americans to think about privacy not just within the context of their own backyards, but on a global scale.

Sanford is the incom-ing Lincoln Professor of Global Corporate Compli-ance and Ethics at Arizona State University, as well as a clinical associate profes-sor of law and internation-al management in ASU’s W. P. Carey School of Busi-ness. Her lecture, “Privacy, Ethics, and Money, Money, Money” is part of the Lin-coln Applied Ethics Series at Chautauqua Institution.

“My topic is on, basi-cally, looking at privacy and ethics from a business perspective,” said San-ford, who has served as the primary U.S. counsel to several multinational businesses, including one of the largest international trading companies in the Southern Cone region — Argentina, Chile and Uru-guay.

“So if you are a consum-er, if you are in the public eye, or if you are a compa-ny, then it’s going to affect you in different ways,” she said. “Depending on the topic, privacy will hit you differently.”

Sanford will also discuss the recent European Union data protection reform and how such changes will af-fect businesses and daily life in the United States.

Sanford said the mes-sage she will deliver will be a hopeful one.

“There are a lot of in-dividuals who are con-cerned with where we are going, and there’s a lot of concern with regard to our data and the breaches that have occurred,” she said. “We are going to see a lot of changes next year with this upcoming EU data protection reform, and it will affect us here in this country. I believe that there is going to be a lot of positive change.”

As an attorney, Sanford’s focus is comparative law. But as a Chilean-American with dual citizenship and fluency in four languages, her passion is interna-tional privacy.

“I analyze the way we look at privacy as far as where it stems from in this country and how people here view privacy,” she said. “They relate more to searches and seizures and the Constitution, versus a country in the EU where they see privacy as a basic human right.”

With the global market-place and international in-teractions changing all the time, there is a demand for updates concerning priva-cy law.

“In the same way that the EU is reforming their laws, I think the way we look at privacy and the tests that we use to deter-mine whether we have a right to privacy needs to be changed,” Sanford said. “What I see is that there will be some changes, and I am hopeful that those changes will modify or change our positions with regard to our laws as well.”

Growing up in both Chile and the United States, Sanford is particularly in-terested and invested in the way decisions made in the United States have global consequences, especially in light of the recent EU deci-sions.

“Because those modifi-cations are not only going to affect the Americans, they’re going to affect the rest of the world, I’ve been in conversation with a lot of diplomats in Chile as well and asking them if they’re ready,” said Sanford. “UK businesses are not ready. US businesses are not ready for the changes. Chileans are getting ready.”

Sanford said that she hopes people leave her lec-ture with more of a global mindset concerning pri-vacy and change, as well as with an awareness of America’s interconnec-tivity with the rest of the world.

“It’s not only our prob-lem,” she said. “Our prob-lems affect others. Together we can find the solutions.”

For Marion Roach Smith, there’s nothing like waking up to a white, blank page.

“I love the humility of the blank page in the morn-ing,” Smith said. “There is no resting on your laurels with writing. And I really like working without a net. I really like that feeling of, ‘I have absolutely nothing but my own determination to fall back on.’ ”

While she might like the promise of the blank page, she also has no problem filling them up. Smith has written three books and co-authored a fourth. Her most recent book, The Memoir Project: A Thoroughly Non-Standardized Text for Writing & Life, is focused on help-ing people write their own memoirs.

Smith also hopes to in-spire memoir writing with her Brown Bag lecture, called “Why Write Mem-oir?” at 12:15 p.m. today on the front porch of the Liter-ary Arts Center at Alumni Hall.

“I think memoir has gotten a really bad name,” Smith said. “I’ve heard peo-ple use it as a word — more like a projectile. Like, ‘Oh, you wrote a memoir.’ And I think that that’s too bad.”

Smith hopes to change those perceptions with her Brown Bag.

“In covering why we write memoir, I hope to il-luminate the audience on both why we read and why we write memoir,” Smith said. “I really love to read

how people negotiated the tough stuff of life, but I also love to read how they nego-tiated the good stuff of life. And memoir is not diary reading, and it’s not diary writing. It has to do with consideration and illumi-nation. What we’re reading is what you did with the circumstances of your life. We don’t want to read your datebook and read merely what you did. We want to read what you did with it.”

This will be Smith’s sec-ond time teaching at Chau-tauqua. She believes that Chautauqua is the perfect environment for encourag-ing creativity.

“To be so embedded in thinking and culture and art and discussion and dis-course; it feels so right,” Smith said. “And then to be surrounded by the architec-ture and the lake and the beauty of the place — it’s about as good as it gets, I think.”

Smith has been writ-ing for more than 30 years. She first got serious about writing when she worked at The New York Times as a “copy boy” in 1977. After a

few years at the Times, she wrote a first-person piece on Alzheimer’s disease for the newspaper’s magazine. Her mother was a young Al-zheimer’s patient, which in-spired Smith to write about their experiences together.

“The piece caused an as-tonishing response,” Smith said. “I ended up on the ‘Today’ show the next day, got many book offers, but mostly I got calls from pret-ty much everywhere.”

One call was from Con-gress, asking her to testify about Alzheimer’s — some-thing she ended up doing four times. Another call was from the mayor of New York City, who wanted Smith to help set up “the first infor-mation and referral office in the world for Alzheimer’s,” Smith said.

The response to her story helped Smith realize how much impact writing could have.

“It can change the world,” Smith said.

Now, Smith enjoys work-ing with others on their writing, whether it’s devel-oping their ideas or chang-ing their perceptions of

memoir and what it can do. She hopes to do this with her Brown Bag as well.

“We’re going to talk about that: why we should read it, why we should write it, and what it does for us when we do both,” Smith said.

Smith hopes her lecture and the conversations that follow will help people de-velop a greater awareness of the power and influence that memoir can have.

“I think that memoir gets confused a lot — people use the phrase ‘mere memoir,’ ” Smith said. “If it wasn’t for memoir, we wouldn’t have the voices of the disenfran-chised. … I’m hoping that people come away with a new appreciation of it and think, ‘Oh, yeah! Right. If it wasn’t for memoir we wouldn’t have that book, we wouldn’t have that narra-tive, we wouldn’t have that knowledge.’ ”

Smith also thinks that the more relaxed and conversa-tional format of the Brown Bag will help attendees have a better understand-ing of the writing process and perhaps inspire them to begin writing on their own memoirs.

“I love to demystify the writing process,” Smith said. “It’s not something ter-ribly spiritual, it’s not some-thing terribly complicated, it’s not something that only writers get to do. So I hope with the questions and an-swers, people will say, ‘You know what, I’m going to go home and write my story.’ ”

Like Clark, Nettles holds multiple cards as an artist, writing and performing songs as half of the duo Sugarland and now tak-ing the stage on her own. However, Nettles insisted, for her, the artistic process remains consistent regard-less of who’s by her side on stage.

“My job is the same, to be the front woman and perform and sing these songs,” she said. “What is different is the music itself. Stylistically, it’s a lot differ-ent and that’s both inspi-rational and intentional in the sense that it’s where I feel inspired and where I am as an artist right now.”

For Nettles, releasing a solo album is about being able to feel uninhibited as an artist, have fun with the process and experiment with her relationship to the music.

And yes, she takes it per-sonally.

“If you’re going to do a solo record that sounds just like your ensemble work, then what’s the point?” she said. “It’s supposed to be a chance to do things differently and to express yourself differently and follow different inspira-tional paths. I’m really en-joying that in the way that it inspires a difference in performance and it’s more intimate and personal for sure.”

Although Nettles has

branched out artistically this summer, fans of Sug-arland still have much to look forward to from this upcoming performance.

“Obviously, I am enjoy-ing being able to play these songs off the new album and to play them live,” she said. “I think that’s how music is best experienced. It is a performing art, and I think hearing music live is how, really in its pur-est form, it is supposed to be experienced. Also, of course, there will be pep-pered in some Sugarland songs in a few different ar-rangements, and I always love to throw in some sur-prises or quirky things or things you may not expect.”

Nettles believes in an in-teractive performance, and that live music is made spe-cial by the individuals who attend.

“I think that, for me, one of the joys of live music is that it is different every night and those songs that may come in and out of favor are also contingent upon the people who are listening,” she said. “The audience is an affecting part of what might be a fa-vorite performance of an evening because it is an ex-change between the stage and the audience.”

And, Nettles said, the band is rested and ready to kick off the second leg of the tour.

“You guys will be get-ting us fresh as we start out, so it should be a good show,” she said.

“Reflecting on that fact — on what’s weird about that sort of science fiction — can help us see why there’s a connection between au-tonomy and loss of privacy,” Lynch said.

Sometimes, members of society are OK with sacrific-ing privacy and individual-ity. Lynch cited the example of prisoners, and how strip-ping them of privacy is used as a way to dehumanize them, which most people think is acceptable because they have lost their rights — so it is not a matter of sacri-ficing no amount of privacy, but rather understanding what it is that’s being sacri-ficed and why it is valuable.

“What makes, other things being equal, inva-sions of privacy bad?” Lynch said. “Well, sometimes other things aren’t equal, and pri-vacy can be invaded in sort of pressing reasons. This is what makes what’s going on in our country right now so interesting and difficult.”

Although society tends to emphasize and value auton-omy, actions do not always support this conclusion. In the modern age, people tend

to be incredibly willing to give up their privacy, Lynch said.

“To what extent do we re-ally value autonomy? We say we do. People talk about it all the time,” he said. “To a certain extent, if you look at people’s actions, which are often a better way of seeing what they think than what they say, then it’s not really all that clear.”

The ability to quickly and easily access things on the Internet can create an illu-sion of power and autonomy. Convenience and the feeling of having made a personal choice can act as a sort of drug, Lynch said, and giv-ing up a bit of privacy seems harmless. One reason people haven’t had a strong collec-tive reaction to modern is-sues of privacy, including the NSA revelations, is that the connection between pri-vacy and autonomy is very abstract.

Lynch hopes to make that abstraction more concrete, and convey how the abstract value of privacy translates to the everyday lives of people.

“We have become so used to — already so quickly — giving up information about ourselves that it no longer seems bizarre to us,” he said.

Gonzales, who served as U.S. attorney general from February 2005 until Septem-ber 2007 and advised Presi-dent George W. Bush from 2001 until his appointment to head of the Justice Depart-ment, was involved in many of the decisions made in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror-ist attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Con-fronting a national calamity, the federal government was faced with the challenge of balancing security with per-sonal liberty.

“Historically, whenever the country faces a security crisis, I think the Ameri-can people have been more willing to allow our govern-ment to focus more on se-curity, even at the expense of privacy,” Gonzales said. “These are difficult decisions to make when you’re in that chair. And whether you’re right or wrong, you know

you’re going to be criticized. That’s just the nature of the job.”

Many of these judgments, which legalized controver-sial surveillance and inter-rogation techniques, marked the inception of the ongoing struggle between privacy and national security within the federal government.

“Judge Gonzales obvious-ly has a unique perspective on these issues of privacy and liberty versus national security,” Gormley said. “He sat with President Bush in the White House and had to grapple with these tough na-tional security decisions and privacy issues that we are still faced with today.”

Gormley has spoken at Chautauqua on multiple oc-casions. He authored two Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle selections, one of which, the Death of American Virtue: Clinton vs. Starr, made the New York Times best-seller list.

Specializing in consti-tutional subjects, Gormley

generally speaks on impor-tant moments in history with constitutional implications.

Although this is Gorm-ley’s first interview-styled lecture at Chautauqua, he is used to the conversation for-mat.

“I really enjoy building programs and moderating them,” Gormley said. “Put-ting a conversational inter-view together so that it tells an interesting story is a lot of fun.”

Gormley plans to struc-ture the interview around four basic topics. First, he intends to discuss the post-9/11 period with a focus on the development of the NSA and its current role in the Obama administration. Sec-ond, Gormley and Gonzales will discuss privacy in rela-tion to personal liberties, concentrating on Guantana-mo Bay and the detainment of American citizens. Next, the two will talk about the accessibility and disclosure of information as well as “bulk collection” of personal

data. Finally, Gormley will ask Gonzales about the fu-ture of privacy with an em-phasis on technology such as drones.

“I think it will be a great discussion,” Gonzales said. “We’re going to try to keep it basic so the listeners can understand what we’re do-ing. Hopefully, we can pro-vide insight to the decision-making process at the White House.”

Although Gonzales plans to edify his audience with clarity and straightforward-ness, he stresses that the equilibrium between pri-vacy and security is not that simple.

“Rights to privacy are important, and I think they need to be protected,” Gon-zales said. “But, likewise, there is the need for the gov-ernment to have the author-ity to protect us. The key is finding the right balance, and that’s hard. It’s really hard.”

Of his young second wife, Edison said she could invent worth a damn.

Edison received 1,093 U.S. patents, a number still untouched by any other inventor. But just as impor-tant, Edison conceived of a process which grew into the model for modern in-dustrial research.

Israel said that, in the 19th century, most inven-tion was done on the job in machine shops. Having something else in mind, Edison created a freestand-ing industrial research fa-cility in 1876 at Menlo Park in New Jersey, thus incor-

The Edison Papers Proj-ect is being conducted in the spirit of Edisonian in-novation and collaboration. The project’s website said that the project is “one of the most challenging, ver-satile, and collaborative projects ever anchored by humanities scholarship.” And it is “a unique re-source for understanding the unbounded themes, variations, and processes of invention and innovation because it combines the major research capabilities of Rutgers University with a team of diversely inter-ested specialists.”

Yes, at least according to the United States Post Office, which issued the Institution a warning in 1914 after re-ceiving a complaint from a member of the Society for the Prevention of Vice. The objectionable material was a pic-ture of a Roman marble statue of a nude faun, from the collection at the University of Pennsylvania, which was printed in the The Chautauquan. The Institution was told that pictures of naked men were not to be sent to homes where they might be seen by young, impressionable girls.

When artist Matt Ken-yon wanted to create a piece commenting on the burst of the housing bubble in the United states and its global ramifications, he worked and researched until he had a machine that released tiny, house-shaped clouds.

he plans to discuss this work and other projects in his lecture at 7 p.m. tonight in the hultquist Center.

Kenyon co-founded the Studies of Work Atmosphere and Mass Production in 1999 and now runs sWaMP by himself.

His work with SWAMP is multimedia and technology-based, he said.

Kenyon began the cloud machine during a residency in Auckland, New Zealand, and he just sent it off to ap-

pear in a show in Dublin.the artist started as a

painter and printmaker, but over the last 12 years his studio process has changed greatly, he said.

“I come up with an idea, like I want to make clouds in the shape of houses, and then I spend quite a bit of time researching materials and techniques and technol-

ogy that allow me to accom-plish what I want,” Kenyon said.

Kenyon, a professor at the stamps school of art and Design at the Univer-

sity of Michigan, said that technological advances have changed the process behind his work and the ease with which he can accomplish his projects.

“the tools have changed in recent years and have made it possible for an in-dividual or a small group to use processes that at any other time you would have had to have engineers and specialists,” he said.

Kenyon grew up in Loui-siana, and one of his pieces, “Puddle,” corresponded with the time of the BP oil spill. several of his family members participated in the cleanup, and Kenyon said the disaster influenced him. “Puddle” acts as a sort of companion piece to another work titled “Supermajor,” which examines dependen-cy on fossil fuels, he said.

“I use a kind of optical

trick in order to create the illusion that oil is flowing slowly in reverse from a pud-dle on the floor, back up into a stack of vintage oil cans,” he said.

he also plans on discuss-ing his upcoming work.

One piece, tentatively titled “Giant Pool of Mon-ey,” comments on the de-clining faith people have in the world markets. He will be using a smart material whose physical properties alter at room temperature, he said.

Kenyon said his pieces are generally fueled by one factor, no matter what form they end up taking.

“Personally, the thing that drives my work is just the idea that I’m interested in something that is sort of an unbelievable spectacle,” he said.

While the Chautauqua symphony Orchestra is playing two operatic con-certs as well as a ballet over the course of a calen-dar week, patrons have a unique opportunity this afternoon to experience a whole new side of a sym-phonic keystone.

at 12:15 p.m. inside smith Wilkes Hall, the Sympho-ny Partners are putting on the first of three “Meet the Musicians” Brown Bag lec-tures this season.

today’s guest is musi-cologist David Levy, a mu-sic professor and associate dean at Wake Forest Uni-versity.

Levy, a renowned scholar of Ludwig van Beethoven, will be present-ing his thoughts on the Ger-man maestro’s Op. 18 with the help of a string quartet led by longtime symphony Partners member Lenelle Morse.

“A few weeks ago, I was trying to pick my brain — see what we could do — I said, ‘Now wait a minute, we have a musicologist, a Beethoven scholar in our midst,’ ” Morse said. “Da-vid is married to CsO pic-colo extraordinaire Kathy Levy, and we’re very ex-cited that David agreed to share his expertise.”

What makes today’s

event unique, according to both Morse and Levy, is that the professor will be joined onstage by a string quartet made up of Morse and three of her friends from the CsO.

Levy is certainly famil-iar with the music scene at Chautauqua Institution — not only is his wife entering her 39th year as a member of the CsO, but Levy him-self was a violin student at the Institution in 1966.

Calling the work of Beethoven “the center of my wheelhouse,” he said that, thanks to the live in-strumentation, he’ll be able to deliver an entirely dif-ferent presentation than he would in a normal class-room setting.

“Because I have live per-formers, I can have them demonstrate different things,” Levy said. “I can better explain how you per-form movements like the ones we’re going to play. Certainly, more give and take than in a lecture situ-ation.”

In addition to audience members bringing their own lunch, Morse offered a second suggestion for the Brown Bag.

“We also want people who have come before and enjoyed it to bring their friends,” she said. “I’ve heard people talk about it as one of the hidden gems of Chautauqua.”

» on the grounds

This was my bike search “a-ha” moment. The moment when I realized that — while there had to be a right way to find Chautauqua bikes for my family, this was the wrong one.

My 8-year-old son and I were a half-mile from the nearest paved surface, in a ramshackle metal shed with three guys in hip boots bent over a hopelessly rusted little-boy bike. They were trying to merge two frayed pieces of cable into something that would make a bike stop. My bewildered boy was darting hopeful glances at me, looking for signs that the gauge here was reading “normal.”

While the strangely determined hip boot-men were curs-ing the bike, I was cursing Craig and his stupid list.

Internet classifieds. Not the way to find a Chautauqua bike. Got it.

A few days further into my journey, I’m glad to report there are bike options that won’t have you hearing banjo music during a really fast return walk to your car.

Because of the duration of our stay, our budget — and the fact we can’t take the bikes with us — I whittled the criteria for our bike search to two things: The bikes have to go, and they have to stop.

The most obvious, easiest option for bikes is the vener-able Chautauqua Bike Rent. There, bikes rent for $75 a week for an adult bike and $40 for kids. The Bike Rent has more than 300 bikes, about half of which are rented at any given time.

Manager Zach Schaefer, a 13-year Bike Rent veteran, said this is the best option for people who are flying in, or for those who don’t want the hassle of carting bikes on car racks. And for those who want bikes that go and stop with consistency.

His admonishment for those going the “beater” route: “They are going to spend twice what they paid for it when they bring it to me for repairs.”

Renting was the right option for Tom and Sarah Durkee, in for a week from Washington, D.C. Tom brought his bike, but they rented for Sarah (“I’m a terrible bike rider”) and their 3-year-old, whose little scooter lacks brakes, which had

suddenly become a necessity. “We are renting for brakes,” Tom said.The Bike Rent is the right option for many (they also have

a great reputation for affordable repairs), but for the reasons I mentioned, it wasn’t for us.

So I checked out the area behind the Colonnade, where I remembered a bike auction from a Chautauqua trip years ago.

There, in the Women’s Club Flea Market space, I found a vintage men’s Huffy Sea Trails bike with a basket that’s more than crooked; it’s damned crooked. But the bike was $10, and it goes. And it stops.

And now, I had wheels for the rest of my hunt. Three bikes to go.

Next stop, the Chautauqua Police Department. The police held a bike auction during Week Two, a week before we arrived. Patrolman Noel Guttman said about 65 orphaned bikes found homes during the auction, most for under $25, raising several hundred dollars that will go toward the Bike Rodeo safety program. The next Rodeo will be in early August.

The next auction, I was sorry to hear, will be in 2015.At Smith Memorial Library, I found used bikes posted

on the bulletin board. I also found a good lead, to check out Hollyloft Ski & Bike in Jamestown.

At Hollyloft, about 20 minutes from the grounds on Route 394, owner Les Johnson accepts donated bikes and resells them from $5 on up, for the benefit of a local pet charity called “New Leash on Life.” He raised $6,000 in 2013, and $4,000 so far this year.

The sad-sack bikes are lined up in front of Johnson’s store, leaning against one another; a forlorn bicycle equiva-lent of the Navy’s Mothball Fleet.

Buyers beware.

“Sometimes, nice ones show up; sometimes they’ve been in a field for two years,” said Johnson. He also sells new bikes; you know, the kind without pitted rust on the handle-bars.

From Johnson, I scored two three-speed women’s bikes; a faded pinkish Monterey and a blue Ross with a seat that complains a lot.

But they go. And they stop. The total for both: $44.95.The last leg of my bike odyssey was for the benefit of the

long-suffering 8-year-old, who had watched the family’s battalion of bikes muster around him.

For him, I claimed a nifty red Huffy with knotty tires at the Wednesday Women’s Club Flea Market. It’s dog-eat-dog on flea market day, so I did have to lay claim to the bike with a sort-of diving tackle. But I got the bike and I’m pretty sure no one’s pressing charges. $10, and it goes. And it stops.

All told, for the low-low total of $64.95, we have four working bikes. And yes, my daughters do have the ugliest bikes at the Boys’ and Girls’ Club. They told me so, and I confirmed it with a rack check.

“You know something about those bikes, though?” I asked the daughter who knows me too well.

“Yes, Dad. They have character.”My wife, who also knows me too well, reminds me every

day that we are parting with the rusty menagerie when we leave. “Repeat after me,” she says. “The bikes stay.” And I do.

I have not even entertained notions of somehow strap-ping them to the roof of the Hybrid. And certainly not bundling them in plastic and hoisting them into a tall tree in a forgotten corner of the grounds.

But did I mention my Huffy with the damned-crooked basket has a headlight, and that it works?

Do you know of any other Chautauqua bike clearinghouses? Or do you have a good rusty bike story? Share it with me at johndavidwarren@aol.com. Or, stop and visit with me Saturday morning between 9 and 10 a.m. I’ll be the one with the nametag in the tented no-man’s land between the Brick Walk Cafe and the Bookstore.

Bill Neches has seen the light. Or perhaps more ac-curately, he’s seen too much of it.

Neches, vice president of the Chautauqua Property Owners Association, has spent the last few years front-ing a project to install pedes-trian-friendly streetlights on Chautauqua’s grounds. This summer, he and the CPOA’s Outdoor Lighting Commit-tee intend to push the initia-tive even further with plans to implement new lighting and to educate the public about the dangers of bright lights, disability glare and trespass lighting.

“A lot of the lighting in Chautauqua is very old, and not pedestrian-friendly,”

Neches said.He referred to the lolli-

pop-shaped globe lamps on Bestor Plaza as an example, saying they date back to the 1940s.

“Everybody who’s alive now in Chautauqua is used to seeing those lights,” he said. “The problem with those lights is that they’re not energy efficient, and they re-sult in direct glare to people walking on the walkways.”

This issue of glare from streetlamps is perhaps Nech-es’ greatest concern when it comes to the Institution’s outdated lighting. Disabil-ity glare results from un-shielded bulbs: light shines directly into the eyes of pe-destrians, thus temporarily blinding them and reducing their visibility. In addition, streetlamps that don’t have

hoods spread light horizon-tally and skyward, mak-ing it difficult for pedestri-ans to see stars in the night sky. According to Neches, the only direction lights should be casting illumina-tion is downward — on the footpath, so people can see where they’re walking.

“Disability glare increases as you get older,” he said, ex-plaining that disability glare is a serious issue in the In-stitution, where senior citi-zens make up a significant portion of the demographic. “By the age of 70, glare can reduce your vision by 50 or 60 percent. And by the age of 80, glare can reduce your vi-sion by 75 percent.”

Neches thinks that intro-ducing hooded, lower-watt-age lamps to the Institution grounds could mean in-

creased safety for nighttime pedestrians. He also thinks it would lead to happier homeowners. Many home-owners experience trespass lighting — streetlamps radi-ating through their windows at night — with the current lighting situation.

In an attempt to cure the issues of disability glare and trespass lighting, the com-mittee has undertaken ef-forts to research energy ef-ficient, pedestrian-friendly lights. Last summer, mem-bers conducted a communi-ty-wide survey by installing several demonstration lights in Bestor Plaza and gathered feedback to determine which was the most popular. Nech-es said the biggest struggle in choosing a new light was pinpointing one that blend-ed modern technology with traditional aesthetics.

“We’re trying to look for a light that’s in keeping with Chautauqua’s ambiance,” Neches said. “We want a

light that looks like it belongs in the early 20th century, not the 23rd century.”

Based on the results of last summer’s survey, the Out-door Lighting Committee chose a Neri LED light as the streetlamp they would like to see installed throughout the grounds.

Neches said that, this summer, there will ideally be

10 streetlights replaced with the new Neri lamps, on Pratt from Ames to Hurst. Once this project is completed, the U.S. Department of Energy plans to conduct testing in Chautauqua to determine the lights’ sustainability and energy conservation.

For those interested in learning more about the committee’s lighting initia-tives, Neches will be hold-ing “walk-abouts” at 9:30 p.m. Sundays starting out-side the Colonnade. Neches will speak on street lighting issues and give tours of the different streetlights fring-ing Bestor Plaza.

Bikes that go and stop, and where to find them

Column by John Warren

The Front Porch

Two months ago, the Princeton sociologist Janet Vertesi tested the limits of digital privacy: she attempt-ed to conceal her pregnancy from the Internet. She told her family and friends not to post about it on social media, used the untraceable Inter-net browser Tor and set up a new email account on a sepa-rate server. She bought all pregnancy- and baby-related items in cash, or with Ama-zon gift cards bought with cash. She had online pur-chases sent to an Amazon Locker not associated with her home address.

Vertesi was successful, Pew researcher Amanda Lenhart told the Amphithe-ater audience on Thursday. But her attempt to dodge the barrage of maternity catalogs and baby product banner ads — which, she said, make the personal information of pregnant women 15 times more valuable than that of the average adult — caused an unintended consequence: Vertesi’s evasive movements over those nine months flagged her as a potential criminal.

“Few of us are willing to go to the extremes that Janet did to protect our privacy,” Lenhart said. “It turns out it can actually be impossible to keep that information from the Internet. And the compa-nies — and the data brokers — that want to find out that information about you.”

Lenhart is associate direc-tor of research at Pew Re-search Center, and the lead researcher on Pew Research projects that focus on youth and technology. She has pub-lished papers on such topics as youth and smartphones, online civility and privacy. She has taught at Ameri-can University, is an affili-ate of Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, and serves as an advisor to the EU Kids Online Project. Her lecture, titled “What Americans Think About Privacy, and Why Their Kids Think Dif-ferently,” was the fourth in this week’s morning lecture theme, “The Ethics of Pri-vacy.”

The last 15 years, Len-hart said, have seen “radical changes in the ways in which we are connected to each other — and to other entities — through digital networks and digital media, all of which complicate our under-standing, our enactment and our enforcement of privacy.”

One potential concern is what Lenhart called “digi-tal redlining,” a process in which algorithms may use

aggregated online data to evaluate individuals for a job or a loan, or decide that they pay more for a product or insurance coverage. Lenhart described such a scenario as a “credit score writ large.”

So, what can the public do to remove incriminating or embarrassing information about themselves from the Internet?

One U.S. state has taken the first steps toward allow-ing young people to clean up their online reputations. In 2015, California will al-low minors to use a so-called “eraser button” on content they have posted about themselves, Lenhart said. But this will not apply to content posted by others, or to adults, even if they want to delete content they posted before the age of 18.

Teenagers already curate their online reputations, Lenhart said. Fifty-nine per-cent of teenagers have de-leted or edited something they posted online, and 1 in 5 have regretted something they posted, according to Lenhart. More than half have deleted comments posted by someone else, and nearly half have untagged themselves in photos or videos. One-third have deployed what Lenhart called the “nuclear option” — deactivating or deleting a social media profile.

And young adults take more steps than older adults to mask their identity and avoid being observed, Len-hart said. Three-quarters of young adults have cleared their cookies, compared to only half of those over 50. Seven in 10 have deleted or edited something they post-ed, compared to only 40 per-cent of those over 30. Two in 5 have used a temporary email address, whereas fewer than one in four adults over 30 have. Two in 5 have avoided using websites that require a real name, compared to only one-third of adults over 30.

“Teenagers care about privacy, but they don’t care about it in the same way that adults do,” Lenhart said. Young people are more in-terested in managing their online reputation among their peers, and in conceal-ing private or incriminating information from author-ity figures like their families, teachers, school administra-tors, college admissions offi-cers and potential employers.

But they are not concerned about hiding personal data from commercial interests in the way that older adults are. In fact, she said, nearly half of adults aged 18 to 29 think that it is a fair trade for corporations to gather their personal information in exchange for a free service. Lenhart chalks this up to the fact that adolescents have not had to conduct many of the adult transactions that can be affected by online data aggregation, such as buying health insurance or applying for a mortgage.

“Young adults don’t al-ways have the best grasp on what is being collected about them and how it’s being used,” she said.

But this relative trust of corporate data collection on the part of young adults, Lenhart said, does not extend to their view of government-sponsored data collection. After Edward Snowden re-vealed the National Security Agency’s widespread surveil-lance program, Lenhart said, those who opposed the NSA and supported Snowden’s leak skewed younger. Nearly 6 in 10 young adults think that Snowden’s revelations served the public interest, whereas fewer than half of adults older than 30 think the same. Young adults are also less likely to think that the government should pur-sue a criminal case against Snowden, she said. Adults 50 and older think that he should be tried at a rate of two to one.

The reaction to the release of the Pentagon Papers was similar. The results of a 1971 Gallup poll, Lenhart said, revealed that two-thirds of adults under 30 thought that sharing those documents was “the right thing to do.” Only half of those older than 50 agreed.

Such parallels may speak to common ground in the adolescent experience, inde-pendent of generational dif-ferences, Lenhart said.

“Today’s teens aren’t so different from earlier youth,” she added. “They’re still figuring out who they are. They’re figuring out how to separate from their family, how to create rela-tionships with peers, how to manage risk. But some things are different.”

The difference, she said, is the technology. But ev-

ery new tool has inspired fear in parents and changed the lives of the young people who used it.

“History has a way of re-peating itself,” she said. “We worry about what technol-ogy is doing to our lives and our children’s lives, just in the same way that we wor-ried last century about cars, and the ways in which they were taking our young peo-ple away from the protective gaze of the family and the home for their fun and for their romance. In the same way, phones were initially considered so disruptive a technology to the sanctity of the home, that they were installed in barns and out-buildings so they wouldn’t be disruptive to the household. And now, we keep them in their pockets and sleep with them next to our pillows at night.”

Lenhart: Adolescents more suspicious of government, less suspicious of corporate data collection online

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

Q:What differing trends or attitudes are found

in different demographics — rural, urban, race, class, east Coast, West Coast and among teens?

A:If were talking in terms of privacy protection,

then girls tend to be more protective of their privacy than boys, and that’s some-thing that’s much more a sort of sociological and cultural phenomenon around protec-tion of girls and women. We do see some broad differenc-es by race and ethnicity. It’s mostly, I think, more socio-economic status writ on top

“I saw a sign on a church in London that said ‘All who worship are welcome, all who doubt are wel-come, all who want to move from fear to faith are welcome,” said the Very Rev. Alan Jones. “Let us

use an old-fashioned phase and ‘entertain an idea’ — invite it over for a drink or tea. Can we recover religion as a work of imagination?”

Jones preached at the 9:15 a.m. morning worship service Thursday. His title was “Moving from Fear to Faith: The Message of Music,” and his Scripture texts were Genesis 1: 26-31 and John 1:1-14.

“St. Bonaventure said that Jesus is the art of God and God is the artist of the world,” he said. “To be human, then, is to be a work of art and an artist. Jesus on Calvary was making such music as lives still. It was his own self that he played, and God listened. This is the poem that opens us up to art and suffering and creativity.”

The poet Thomas Traherne said that, in his time at Oxford, he saw things that he never dreamt of and thought that all subjects pertained to felicity but no one ever taught felicity.

Jones commented, “Not many of us would use the word felicity. We tend to say ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-ness.’ We think of happiness or felicity as a product but they are, rather, prisms to look at the world. Our intellect has let us down and we have to let go and find the mystery that is at the deeper level.

“The question is, how do you choose to interpret the world — with amazement or resentment?” he continued. “What is the mirror that reflects the world for you? Do you

see yourself as an artist of your own life?”He said that a very dear friend, now in her 80s, still

wakes up every morning with her mother’s voice in her head saying, “Get out of my sight, you make me sick.” It is hard, he said, “to feel gratitude in a daily dose of loathing. Yet when our story becomes too painful, when it becomes lies, it needs to be rejected.”

Religion, Jones said, was seduced by a fundamental-ism that encourages atheism. Atheists resist the forms of religion that appeal to myth and metaphor as too “wishy washy.”

The lecturer cited Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation, who has written that reli-gious people hold to ideas that would be considered mad by a lone subscriber.

“People on both sides are devoid of metaphor. They are two fundamentalists screaming across the divide.

“Communion, the Lord’s Supper, the Eucharist, should be seen as a work of art,” Jones said. “It is a political protest, it is

dynamic, not God in a cracker but a sign of life for everyone.“We need to recover celebration of the real presence, the

really real, the full alive. The real presence went away but has crept back into the world as art and liturgy is art.

“Our primary job is to make music,” he said. “Music re-quires every voice; that is what social justice is all about. All great art has a sacramental quality. Works of art confront us with presence. There is no escape from presence. It was a mistake to turn our doctrines into scientific statements; they are stumbling works to describe presence.”

According to Jones, faith is a homecoming — accepting the self as mystery, as a work of art — that brings a new kind of feasting that accommodates suffering and joy.

“Great art moves us from bondage to freedom, it moves us from fear to faith,” he said to conclude his sermon. “Great art moves us to community where we recognize each other as human.”

The Rev. James Hubbard presided. The Rev. William Hall, pas-tor of St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chicago, read the Scriptures.

The prelude was Sonata in C Minor by Georg Philipp Tele-mann. Barbara Hois played the flute and Joe Musser played the piano.

The Motet Choir sang “A Better Resurrection” with text by Christina Rossetti and music by Howard Helvey. Jason Maynard, a native of Fairview, Pennsylvania, and now the organist of Cen-tral Presbyterian Church, Atlanta, was the guest conductor. Jared Jacobsen, organist and worship coordinator, accompanied the choir.

The Robert D. Campbell Memorial Chaplaincy supports this week’s services.

Memorials do work. In 1966, Nina Terrill Wens-

ley gave the Windsor Board-ing House to the Institution to be used as a guest cot-tage. It became the Wens-ley House, and now, after extensive renovation, the Hagen-Wensley House. If it didn’t exist, I would never have learned about Nina Ter-rill Wensley and that would have been a loss. In an era of remarkable women, there is something exceptional about her. It seems to me that she could glide into the 21st cen-tury even though she was born in 1887 and died in 1986.

•

She was well-educated by any standard. She graduated from Flora Stone Mather Col-lege for Women of Western Reserve University in 1909; received a master’s degree in mathematics from Colum-bia University in 1913; and did graduate work at New York School of Social Work and Cleveland College. She

would serve as principal of Independence School in Cleveland and begin her long involvement with the YWCA. A July 7, 1932, ar-ticle in the Dunkirk Evening Observer describes her as a “YWCA national board member and Chairman of the Chautauqua County YWCA.”

Her granddaughter Nina Terrill Williams described her as “a woman of means.” The means came from her fa-ther, Clarence Eugene Terrill. He represented Abeyton Re-

alty, John D. Rockefeller Jr.’s real estate interests, in Ohio. Williams also described her grandmother as a “good in-vestor.” Family lore has it that Terrill died before the Depression and never knew how much money he lost. His daughter preserved and managed what remained.

Juggling multiple re-sponsibilities seems to be Wensley’s forte. The 1986 resolution by the board of trustees states that “the re-cord of Nina Terrill Wensley be forever inscribed on the minutes of the Chautauqua Board of Trustees.” She was a member of the Board for 35 years and honorary trustee till her death. The resolution continues acknowledging her major contributions to the Institution that includ-ed “25 years as chairman of the YWCA Hospitality House and simultaneously managing the cafeteria for

students and employees, in-cluding the School of Physi-cal Education students who occupied tents on the Over-look.” With barely a pause, the list includes: president of the Friends of the Library, treasurer of the Chautauqua Women’s Club, treasurer of the Presbyterian House Women’s Committee and the Chautauqua Christian World Missions Conference. In ad-dition, she was a member of the CLSC class of 1945 and served as secretary in 1943.

Most importantly, she was the only woman to serve on the Chautauqua Reorgani-zation Corporation that was formed in 1933 to preserve Chautauqua from bankrupt-cy and sale. Why she was chosen is not discussed in the Daily archives, and what particular role she played is

again not described. Howev-er, she did become a member of the Chautauqua Founda-tion Inc., which formed in 1937 and continues today.

Williams said “she was a woman ahead of her time.” If that is true of her profession-al and volunteer life, it is par-ticularly true of her personal life. As her granddaughters Williams and Joan Bailey In-gram said, Wensley was not only independent. She was brave. Despite the conven-tions of her generation, she chose a single life rather than continuing an unhappy mar-riage. The family does not know the date of Nina’s brief marriage to Robert Sinclair Wensley, who became chair-man of Harshaw Chemical Company in Cleveland. In a Daily article from Aug. 17, 1998, Robert’s niece, Penel-ope Wensley, refers to Nina and Robert’s divorce. The article states that “the couple divorced, but always main-tained a good relationship.” In fact, the article states that Robert Wensley bought a

house here in 1920.Wensley was a single

mother before the advent of “single mothers.” She ad-opted one daughter, Jeanette, and raised two sisters, Phyl-lis and Ruth Bradshaw. Ruth was mother to Williams, Ingram and their brother Stephen. Ingram said that when the girl’s mom died their father could not take care of them. The biological genealogy might be differ-ent; the emotional geneal-ogy is all Wensley. Ruth fol-lowed Wensley as treasurer of the Women’s Club. Both Williams and Ingram are proud of the woman they call “grandmother” and re-member her fondly.

When I saw Nina Terrill Wensley’s Board of Trustees photo, I wished I might have an hour to talk with her, to hear her biography in her voice. I had to settle for the echo heard in the archives and her granddaughter’s memories. But what an echo.

THE WOMEN BEHIND THE MEMORIALS

Nina Terrill WensleyReporter’s note: The Chautauqua Women’s Club’s 125th celebra-tion this season offers the opportunity to illuminate and celebrate the remarkable women who have made Chautauqua what it is. These women brought intelligence, energy and leadership to every project they touched. Testimony to their achievements remains in the buildings that bear their names, the organizations they created and the words they wrote. This series will attempt to recall their in-dividuality, their interests and finally a suggestion of who they were as people — a sense of the women behind the memorials, of women who cast a long shadow. We continue with Nina Terrill Wensley.

At right, Hagen-Wensley House sits on 22 South Lake, across from Chautauqua Lake. Originally known as the Windsor Boarding House, it was gifted to the Institution by Nina Terrill Wensley, left, in 1966.

“The things that we do, the practices of interdependence and the practices of privacy, are acts which construct, forge or retard or destroy ourselves,” he said. “They are how that thing that we call the ‘self’ — yours, mine and ours — comes to be, or comes not to be.”

Mirsky talked about the shaping of this idea of the self, how it’s changed over time and how it relates to this week’s theme, “The Ethi-cal Tensions of Privacy vs. Interdependency,” during the 2 p.m. Interfaith Lecture Wednesday in the Hall of Philosophy. As an associate professor of Near Eastern and Judaic studies at Brandeis Uni-versity, Mirsky used Jewish texts and traditions to frame his speech, titled “Becoming Ourselves: The Practice of Dignity in an Electronic Age.”

“What it means to be a hu-man being stands to be an inheritor of the various tradi-tions and cultures that have come before us and shaped us,” he said.

Throughout history, Mir-sky said, there have been fac-tors that have changed, and those that have also abided.

A basic interdependence on others has always been present, he said. There has al-ways been a desire to engage in a sense of community.

“Our needing others is a central fact of being human,” Mirsky said. “We are born into communities of people. They give us our language, how we learn words and sounds … our relations with others from our births give us our bodily sense of who we are.”

It’s the forms of this in-terdependence that changes. Small villages turned into empires as humans develop means to travel the globe. Technology gave us power,

Mirsky said.Ideas of privacy have

changed over time as well. Mirsky referred to the He-brew Bible, in which people didn’t have a personal im-mortality. After a death, the person was “gathered unto his people.”

In ancient times, when people were forced into pub-lic life because there was no personal, physical space, it also forced the self to be thought of as collective, Mir-sky said.

To make sense of these changing ideas, Mirsky said we could try to look at our traditions and cultures — but he recognized it’s not always an easy task.

“How do we think about the traditions we’ve inherit-ed? How do [we] maybe even get wisdom from them when they were written in very dif-ferent times and places?” he said.

For Mirsky, this means looking at his Jewish tradi-tion to define privacy rights.

He first looks at the con-cepts of visual trespass found in the Mishnah, the first writ-ten text of Jewish law.

“When looking at prop-erty right, in the Mishnah we find a rule that you can’t con-struct courtyards with doors or windows facing into one another,” he said, with a Bib-lical reference to King David spying on Bathsheba as the reasoning.

While this and other early indications of visual trespass deal with property rights, Mirsky said in the Middle Ages, the ideas behind these laws began to be discussed and involved into something much deeper. It became a question of ethics, rather than property claim.

“Venturing into another person’s property in a man-ner that violates their own space, and where they can’t

live their daily lives without your seeing them, is a vio-lation of humility,” Mirsky said.

Privacy may not have had its own category in Jew-ish law, but it was present in other forms, Mirsky said. The most prominent form was in that of dignity.

“There are damages to personal honor, to personal reputation, to personal dig-nity that, as a matter of Jew-ish law, cannot be waived,” he said.

Today, Mirsky said that privacy and freedom has come to include transpar-ency in the government and the public’s right to know what’s going on in the world around them. It also means that people should be able to keep their fundamental life choices — “sex and marriage, having or not having babies” — private, and keep “parts of your life free from snooping.”

Mirsky said privacy moves in two directions — vertical-ly with the government and large institutions, and hori-zontally within the self and within communities.

Commerce has started to blur this perpendicular setup and create confusion in the

intermittent spaces, because it operates both as a big busi-ness and as an everyday tool and community presence.

“Commerce is all about consumer choice, but those choices are channeled by and, in many ways, shaped and cultivated by large entities that want to know as much about us as they can, without necessarily having our best interest at heart,” he said.

This is one example of the many contradictions between privacy and interdependency that have evolved in the mod-ern world, Mirsky said.

He used the book of Gen-esis and an essay, “Lonely Man of Faith,” by Rabbi Jo-seph Soloveitchik to address a biblical contradiction.

“The Bible gives us two different accounts of the cre-ation of the world and hu-manity,” Mirsky said.

The first chapter involves the six days of creation, in which God makes the world and all of humanity and says everything is perfect, and rests on the seventh day. Con-versely, in the second chapter, man is “not the climax of a triumphal march of creation; it’s gathered dust with a little breath in it.” And Adam, a name in Hebrew that is trans-lated to “Earth man,” be-comes conscious he is lonely.

Soloveitchik said while these are two drastically dif-ferent views of man, they are both real and true.

Mirsky used this to define human dignity.

“Dignity provides a mor-al yardstick for evaluating the achievements of Adam 1, and it undergirds what we’re trying to provide Adam 2,” he said.

This can be achieved, he

said, by way of referring to Soloveitchik’s work, by creat-ing a covenantal community. People need to go out into the community, embrace the need to be interdependent, and then go back into them-selves, in a state of privacy and reflect. The cycle repeats, and there is an environment for learning and growth, both within the self and the community.

Mirsky used Jewish tradi-tion — a week of work and then the Sabbath for reflec-tion, prayer in the quorum juxtaposed with silent prayer — to demonstrate this prac-tice in action.

It’s not a perfect model, and reaching an ideal is not possible, he said, but there needs to be balance between the contradictions so we can reach a healthy level of pri-vacy and interdependency.

MIRSKY: BALANCE THE SELF AND THE COMMUNITY

T he age old question — What does it mean to be human? — can be answered in

part by looking at people’s daily conditions and rhythms, how people interact with others and within themselves. These routine acts, Yehudah Mirsky said, help define who a person is.

Wegmans Food Markets is helping to bring country superstar Jennifer Nettles to Chautauqua institution at 8:15 p.m. tonight in the am-phitheater.

“We are pleased to con-tinue this great partnership with Chautauqua,” said liz lingenfelter, store manager of the Wegmans in James-town.

Nettles will be perform-ing in Chautauqua as part of her That Girl Tour 2014.

Wegmans as a company has helped underwrite a va-riety of events this summer, and this is the annual eve-ning concert that the James-town store sponsors.

“enriching our store com-munities is important to us, and we’re proud to support the great arts and culture that the institution provides its visitors each year,” lin-genfelter said.

This will also be the first time that Nettles has per-formed at Chautauqua. The concert will open with a performance by prominent country singer-songwriter, Brandy Clark.

The Charles ellsworth Goodell lectureship in Government and Public af-fairs provides funding for this morning’s 10:45 a.m. lecture with alberto Gon-zales and Ken Gormley.

The Charles e. Goodell lectureship honors life-long Chautauquan and U.s. senator Charles e. Goodell, who died of a heart attack in 1987 at the age of 60.

a Washington attorney and lobbyist for his final 16 years of life, Goodell was chairperson of the board of DGA International, a firm representing european companies bringing tech-nology to the United states. He was associated with the Washington law office of King & spalding in atlanta.

Goodell served nine years in the House of Rep-resentatives from a New York district, including the Jamestown area. He was elected to his first full term in 1960.

in 1968, Governor Nel-son a. Rockefeller ap-pointed him to the U.s. Senate to fill the unexpired

term of Robert F. Kennedy. Goodell emerged as a lead-ing critic of the Vietnam War and, largely because of a split within the Repub-lican Party over that issue, was defeated for election to a full term after serving the final two years of the late sen. Kennedy’s term. in 1976, President Gerald Ford appointed Goodell chair-person of the Presidential Clemency Board, which reviewed clemency appli-cations of more than 21,000 Vietnam War resisters.

The son of a physician, Goodell was born and raised in Jamestown.

a Phi Beta Kappa gradu-ate of Williams College, he graduated from Yale law school and received a master’s degree at the Yale Graduate school of Gov-ernment. He first went to Washington in 1954 as a congressional liaison assis-tant at the Justice depart-ment and then returned to Jamestown to practice law before running for Con-gress.

Goodell’s survivors in-

clude his wife, Patricia Goldman, former senior vice president of corporate communications for Us airways.

His first wife and loving mother of five boys, Jean, died in 1984. Their sons include Jeffrey Goodell of Portland, Maine; William Goodell and Roger Goodell of Bronxville, New York; Timothy Goodell of New York City; and Michael Goodell of los angeles. He is also survived by 10 grandchildren.

Goodell was one of six children. His siblings in-cluded June Goodell Free-man, George W. Goodell, dr. James P. B. Goodell, John l. Goodell and life-long Chautauquan Franc-esca Rappole.

If you would be interested in discussing the possibil-ity of establishing an endow-ment to support a lectureship or another aspect of Chau-tauqua’s program, please contact Karen Blozie at 716-357-6244 or email her at kblozie@ciweb.org.

The scott and Patti Fine endowment Fund sponsors today’s 2 p.m. lecture by Michael P. Lynch. This flex-ible permanent endowment fund was established in 2006 to enhance the Chau-tauqua program.

scott Fine graduated from Cornell University with his bachelor’s in math-ematical modeling and later received an MBa from stanford University. He be-gan his professional career at McKinsey & Company. He served in the investment banking division of Gold-man sachs for a decade be-fore becoming the CFO of Reltec Corporation and then general partner at Morgen-

thaler Partners, a private equity firm.

since 2003, scott Fine has been a professor of finance at Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead school of Management.

Patti Fine also graduated from Cornell University with a degree in industrial and labor relations.

she began her career at iBM and later became a middle school science teacher at lawrence school, an independent school serv-ing students with learning differences and attention deficits.

in Cleveland, scott Fine has been a director at the diabetes association of

Greater Cleveland, the Mu-seum of Contemporary art Cleveland, the Hospice of the Western Reserve and a committee member of the Cleveland Foundation.

Patti Fine has been ac-tively involved tutoring and teaching yoga at the Bridge avenue school, a middle school in the near west side. at Chautauqua, scott Fine has served as a member of several task forces and cur-rently serves as a director of the Chautauqua Hotel Cor-poration.

The Fines live in Rocky River, Ohio, and have been enjoying Chautauqua for more than 15 years. They are the parents of six children.

Last Saturday along the chautauqua Boys’ and Girls’ club waterfront, the noW Generation hosted its first Summer Fest. With a variety of different events occurring this season, the noW Generation took ad-vantage of the sunshine at the campus of the oldest day camp in the nation for an af-ternoon of family activities, volleyball, music and food.

“This is the first year we’ve done this event, and the goal was to use the Fourth of July week-end — when a lot of noW Generation-aged people are back on the grounds — to help people reconnect with Club, meet each other, meet new people who have never been down here, and try out a different space,” said Mhoire Murphy, NOW Gen-eration Advisory council

member. “We’ve never done anything this informal and recreation-focused.”

The family-friendly after-noon included a live band, activities for children and beach volleyball. With the leadership of the Advisory Council, NOW Gen is com-mitted to hosting a variety of events appropriate for the organization’s age range.

Whether members grew up attending Club or are new chautauquans with children, the waterfront provided a different envi-ronment for the NOW Gen-eration to become acquaint-ed with other families.

“We know that people are interested in different things,” said Murphy, who co-organized the event with fellow council member Russell Bermel. “We have a bunch of ideas, but many of them are around making [Chautauqua] more relevant and exciting for people in

our age group — whether it’s program related, ways to meet different people or [how to] make the most of your time on the grounds.”

As the organization’s leaders and members seek to further engage a young-er generation of chautau-quans, Murphy outlined their goals as answers to various questions.

“What are different types of innovations or ways that we can think about spaces or programming that are appealing to this group and also just act as a fun-nel of ideas?” Murphy said. “We’re really excited to hear from the person who has been here for 25 years and the person whose first summer it is. What do they want to see? What ideas do they have and how can we make that experience a lit-tle more personal?”

As the afternoon pro-gressed and attendees sat

down on benches facing the lake to enjoy a slice of pizza, Boys’ and Girls’ club Di-rector Greg Prechtl shared a few words about his his-tory with Chautauqua.

“Coach Prechtl,” as he is affectionately called by many of the alumni of Club, described the pleasure he and his wife have had watching so many grow up at Chautauqua over the summers, and how impor-tant the noW Generation’s year-round connection to each other and the institu-tion will be moving forward.

“What makes Chautau-qua so special?” he asked. “i would say it’s not the ar-chitecture or the lectures. It’s the people here.”

For more information on the NOW Generation and other upcoming events, please contact Megan Sorenson at msorenson@ciweb.org or 716-357-6243.
