Hammering Out Human Rights<br />
The Women’s International League for<br />
Peace and Freedom will be hosting an educational<br />
program for students and teachers on<br />
Eleanor Roosevelt: Hammering Out Human<br />
Rights at four high schools in Vermont:<br />
South Burlington High School in South<br />
Burlington, Peoples Academy High School<br />
in Morrisville, Rice Memorial High School in<br />
South Burlington, and Spaulding High<br />
School in Barre. The program in Barre at<br />
Spaulding HS is on October 9 from 2:12-3:05<br />
PM in the gym.<br />
The featured presenter is Susan Marie<br />
Frontczak of Storysmith, a scholar, playwright<br />
and performer who has presented<br />
living history programs around the world.<br />
Frontczak will be portraying Eleanor<br />
Roosevelt and her work with the UN on the<br />
Universal Declaration of Human Rights<br />
(DHR).<br />
This year marks the 70th Anniversary of<br />
the UDHR and Eleanor Roosevelt’s work<br />
chairing the committee that drafted this historic<br />
document: a testament to the enduring<br />
universality of the values of equality, justice,<br />
peace, and human dignity. The UDHR represents<br />
a milestone in the history of human<br />
rights, setting forth the 30 fundamental<br />
human rights that are to be universally protected.<br />
In this time of spreading nationalism and<br />
Norwich University Writers Series Presents<br />
Celebrated Author Rick Bass<br />
The Norwich University Writers Series<br />
welcomes author Rick Bass to campus at<br />
12:30 p.m. Thursday, October 10, in the<br />
Kreitzberg Library Multipurpose Room.<br />
This event is free and open to the public.<br />
The author of more than 30 books of fiction<br />
and nonfiction, Bass has received wide<br />
acclaim for his writing, including O. Henry<br />
Awards, numerous Pushcart Prizes, and fellowships<br />
from the National Endowment for<br />
the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation, and<br />
the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters.<br />
His short fiction collection, “The Hermit’s<br />
Story” (2003), was named a Los Angeles<br />
Times Best Book of the Year, and another<br />
collection, “For a Little While: New and<br />
Selected Stories” (2016) won the prestigious<br />
Story Prize. He has had numerous stories<br />
and nonfiction works included in “Best<br />
American” anthologies. Several of his books<br />
have been named New York Times and Los<br />
Angeles Times Notable Books of the Year, as<br />
well as a New York Times Best Book of the<br />
Year. His 2009 book “Why I Came West” was<br />
a finalist for the National Book Award for<br />
Autobiography.<br />
His most recent nonfiction book, “The<br />
Traveling Feast” (2018), chronicles the<br />
author’s epic pilgrimage to thank the writers<br />
who influenced his life and work – including<br />
Peter Matthiessen, Denis Johnson, John<br />
Berger, David Sedaris, Joyce Carol Oates<br />
and Terry Tempest Williams, among others<br />
Income-eligible students average nearly<br />
$6,000 between the Pell and Vermont grants<br />
– that’s money that doesn’t need to be paid<br />
back.<br />
Students and parents will each need to<br />
create their own FSA ID a few days prior to<br />
the workshop by visiting https://fsaid.ed.<br />
gov/npas/index.htm. Check out the VSAC<br />
website for a list of other information to<br />
bring to be ready to successfully complete<br />
the applications.<br />
Students and parents also can ask questions<br />
and learn about the college financial<br />
aid process, including how to apply for<br />
scholarships. Internet access will be available<br />
and space is limited.<br />
Dates and locations for the workshops are<br />
available online at http://www.vsac.org/<br />
events/list. Information on VSAC’s college<br />
planning resources can be found at www.<br />

gross violations of human rights across the<br />
globe, Eleanor Roosevelt noted that it is necessary<br />
of us all to work for human rights and<br />
peace. “Where, after all, do universal human<br />
rights begin? In small places, close to home<br />
– so close and so small that they cannot be<br />
seen on any maps of the world. Unless these<br />
rights have meaning there, they have little<br />
meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen<br />
action to uphold them close to home, we<br />
shall look in vain for progress in the larger<br />
world.”<br />
Many individuals in the United States are<br />
unfamiliar with the UDHR. Frontczak’s presentation<br />
will help students learn about,<br />
promote, engage and reflect on human rights<br />
with the goal of encouraging everyone to<br />
stand up for human rights, every day. As<br />
Jamaican Bob Marley sang: “Get up, stand<br />
up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand<br />
up, Don’t give up the fight.”<br />
The program is supported in part by the<br />
Vermont Humanities Council, American<br />
Civil Liberties Union of VT, Amnesty<br />
International Champlain Valley, WILPF US,<br />
Anne Slade Frey Charitable Trust, Ben and<br />
Jerry’s Foundation, Price Chopper’s Golub<br />
Foundation, WILPF Burlington, Green<br />
Mountain Fund of the Vermont Community<br />
Foundation, and the Bernard and Sandra<br />
Otterman Foundation.<br />
– by cooking them supper.<br />
His stories, articles and essays have<br />
appeared in The Paris Review, The New<br />
Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s, The<br />
New York Times Sunday Magazine, The<br />
Washington Post, and elsewhere. He has<br />
served as a contributing editor to Audubon,<br />
OnEarth, Field & Stream, Big Sky Journal,<br />
and Sports Afield. Bass is on the faculty at<br />
the University of Southern Maine’s<br />
Stonecoast Master of Fine Arts program,<br />
and has taught creative writing for more<br />
than 30 years. He lives in the Yaak Valley in<br />
northwest Montana.<br />
The Dallas Morning News said of Bass’<br />
short fiction, “Probably no American writer<br />
since Hemingway has written about man-innature<br />
more beautifully or powerfully than<br />
Rick Bass.” Vermont’s own Howard Frank<br />
Mosher called Bass “one of a dwindling<br />
handful of American fiction writers still celebrating<br />
the importance of place, the natural<br />
world.” Legendary writer and editor<br />
George Plimpton called Bass “one of the<br />
best writers of his generation,” while celebrated<br />
novelist Carl Hiassen declared, “Rick<br />
Bass is a national treasure.”<br />
