For instance, research about rela- tively normal brains and mental processes underpinned three of the top four books on a recent New York Times’ list of science best-sellers, and six of the top seven on its August 2013 list. Occasionally, books on troubled brains make it onto the list. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, in a given year in the United States nearly one in eight youths between ages 8 and 15, one in five youths be- tween 13 and 18, and one in four adults experience a severe mental disorder. When this happens, individuals and their families suffer. Increasing- ly, so do their communities. At 10:45 a.m. today in the Amphi- theater, world-leading schizophrenia research scientist Daniel Weinberger will speak about strides being made in brain research. His presentation is titled “Nature vs. Nurture Meets 21st Cen- tury Brain Science.” A recipient of numerous honors and awards, Weinberger spent nearly 30 years at NIMH, where he led the Genes, Cognition and Psychosis Program. It was there that he did most of his science. “There was really no place quite like it — doing science and not worrying about get- ting funded,” he said. Science magazine pointed to the genetic research of Weinberger’s lab as the second biggest scientific breakthrough of 2003 — second only to the discovery of the origins of the cosmos. For a generation, Weinberger has been at the forefront of scientific investigation of schizophrenia, a chronic psychiatric disor- der, as well as disorders related to it. Accord- ing to the NIMH, schizophrenia disables about 1.1 percent of American adults. When combined with bipolar disorder, major de- pression and other serious mental illnesses, the number of adults directly affected is one out of every 17. Weinberger was influential in concentrat- ing research on the role of abnormal brain development as a risk factor for schizophre- nia. His NIMH lab identified not only the first specific genetic mechanism of risk for schizophrenia, but also the first genetic ef- fects that account for variation in specific human cognitive functions and in human temperament. Further, Weinberger and his colleagues developed the first high-fidelity animal model of schizophrenia.

That is, in part, why it makes sense Emmanuel Lartey has studied the topic, he said; the L. Bevel Jones III Professor of Pastoral Theology, Care, and Counseling at Candler School of Theology at Emory University also comes from Ghana, West Africa, where the culture and re- ligious traditions fueled his interests. During his lecture, “Death is Like Birth: Death and Life in African Religious Traditions,” Lartey will speak about different conceptions of life, death and ways death is understood broadly in Af- rican cultures at 2 p.m. today in the Hall of Philosophy. “There are many different — and sometimes contradic- tory — practices around death and dying, funerals and burial rights and so on, although there are very many in line with the fact that this is a huge continent and a huge diaspora with many different traditions,” he said. “There are common threads that sort of point in particular direc- tions about life and about death and the afterlife.” Week Nine’s Interfaith Lecture theme is “From Here to Hereafter: Facing Death with Hope and Courage.” Lartey will attempt to explain African rites and rituals and why people would engage in them, as well as open up windows of dialogue with other cultures and religions. Lartey’s work interests include pastoral care in cultural contexts, and he will draw comparisons and distinctions between different cultures’ practices around death. “In American and Western traditions, there tends to be a stronger sense that death is a termination. Death brings an end to something, and that’s kind of, like, that’s it,” he said. “Whereas in African cultures in general, there is a very, very strong sense of continuity of life beyond death — that life does not end with death — and so there’s also a greater tendency to pursue relationships with the dead beyond their death.” Lartey to look at death rites, rituals in African cultures GEORGE COOPER Staff Writer Human bones are made of the same elements as the earth, Terry Foody said, and “we can’t deny the fact that they are part of our envi- ronment.” Foody, who graduated from Ni- agara University, is a registered nurse, clinical researcher and a con- sultant on healthy living. Healthy living is good, she said, but health is not always an inviting subject, especially as health entails illness. At 3:30 p.m. today in the Hall of Christ, Foody will talk about “In- fectious Disaster: The 1833 Cholera Epidemic with Implications for Our Global Health Today.” This lecture is part of the Oliver Archives Cen- ter Heritage Lecture Series. “With all our technology, we can’t deny the fact that we are part of our environment,” Foody said. “We are made up of the same mate- rial as the earth. We are part of this. We have to take in water. We have to get rid of our waste. “ The 1830s cholera epidemic in Lex- ington, Kentucky, was devastating. “The streets were silent and de- serted by everything but horses and dead-carts, and to complete the desperate condition of things three physicians died, three more were absent and, of the rest, scarcely one escaped an attack of the disease,” reads a report on rootsweb.ances- try.com. “The clergy, active as they were, could not meet one-third of the demands made upon them.” In 1833, Foody said, “they just didn’t know what was going on.” “The Transylvania University had a medical school. Three doc- tors died right away. They drank the water,” she said. “They did everything they could, but lack of knowledge and not having regulat- ed research, they were hamstrung.” Although nearly two centuries removed from that time, the condi- tions then might not be so far from conditions today — even in Chau- tauqua County, she said. “We want to build, want devel- opment, build around the lake and all, but people don’t want to spend money on things you can’t see,” Foody said. “We want to fix up something you see.” Consequently, the condition of the water supply can suffer. Foody said that if people are tak- ing water out of the lake and put- ting sewage back in, “we have to take care of it.” Everybody likes a pretty lawn to display, but they have to remem- ber there are invisible forces at play that will have not-so-becoming consequences, she said. Having grown up in New York state, Foody knows how precious the summer months can be. “This is August, about only time the beaches can be open,” where the water is warm enough to swim in and enjoy, she said. “The closed beaches are unac- ceptable. How can we tolerate it?” she said.

Human bones are made of the same elements as the earth, Terry Foody said, and “we can’t deny the fact that they are part of our envi-ronment.”

Foody, who graduated from Ni-agara University, is a registered nurse, clinical researcher and a con-sultant on healthy living. Healthy living is good, she said, but health is not always an inviting subject, especially as health entails illness.

At 3:30 p.m. today in the Hall of Christ, Foody will talk about “In-fectious Disaster: The 1833 Cholera Epidemic with Implications for Our Global Health Today.” This lecture is part of the Oliver Archives Cen-

ter Heritage Lecture Series.“With all our technology, we

From the Paleozoic to the Pleistocene, Chautauqua’s Bird, Tree & Garden Club is digging up some ancient his-tory.

Mark Baldwin, director of education for the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History, will be giv-ing a talk on the fossils of the Chautauqua-Allegheny region at 12:15 p.m. today in Smith Wilkes Hall. This is a topic of personal interest to Baldwin, a Jamestown, New York, native, as he has been collecting fossils in the area since he was a young boy.

“When I was a kid, I used

to just go take walks up ‘the crick,’ which is what we called the river back then, and I’d find these pieces of shale with little imprints and trace fossils in them,” he said. “I have boxes and boxes of those.”

Baldwin’s Brown Bag lecture today will cover the expansive timeline of fossils that can be found in the ground of west-ern New York. Depending on where a person digs, they could unearth fossilized re-mains from the Devonian Period, which transpired around 370 million years

ago, or a piece as recent as the Pleis-tocene Epoch, only 15,000 years in the past.

Baldwin said imprints made by the shelled mol-lusks and bra-chiopods of the Devonian era are fairly com-mon in the shale

creek beds and gorges in the area. The more recent fos-sils of megafauna from the Pleistocene area are buried in shallower ground where bogs and mires once played the bane of animals like the mastodon.

Baldwin said some of the

best places for greenhorn pa-leontologists to go looking for pieces of the past include Lake Erie’s shoreline, the Chautauqua gorge, Twen-tymile Creek, and the Penn Dixie quarry site in Ham-burg. Penn Dixie, he said, is a converted cement quarry that has been turned into a family-friendly, member-supported dig site that wel-comes any diggers to keep what they find.

“It’s always fun to find a well-preserved piece of life,” Baldwin said. “I think that, in order to understand how natural systems work, it’s important to understand what’s down there and what used to be here.”

Following an assessment, Forecon, the nationally recog-nized professional forestry management firm based in Fal-coner, has recommended the immediate removal of a num-ber of trees on the grounds. Between today and Thursday this week, weather permitting, a contractor will remove a tree at 23 Vincent, adjacent to the brick walk, and several trees along Massey Avenue, from Janes to Cookman and in front of the Everett Jewish Life Center. At certain points during the work, Massey will be closed and traffic will be impeded at both sites. Chautauqua’s grounds staff will re-place the removed trees in the near future. ‘Wild by Design’ at Smith Wilkes Hall

At 6:30 p.m. today in Smith Wilkes Hall, “Wild by Design: Innovations from A to Zoo” will be presented for families and children of all ages. “Wild by Design” will help participants think about physics as it relates to how nature makes things better, faster or stronger. Meet the giant, inflatable humpback whale Gracie, who will demonstrate how the physics of flip-pers is inspiring new wind turbines. Test a gravity-defying slow motion “slinky” to see how the trunk of Zuri, the giant inflatable elephant, works. Zookeepers, chemists and robot designers will join in the conversation and some real animals from the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium will make their on-screen debut. “Wild by Design” is a program of the Carnegie Science Center, co-sponsored at Chautauqua by the Depart-ment of Education and Youth Services and made possible by a grant from the Edison Fund, a philanthropic institution that supports programs generally within the fields of medi-cal research, science education and historic preservation.Knitting4Peace

Members of Chautauqua’s interfaith community came together Aug. 8 at the Hall of Missions to honor retired Department of Religion director the Rev. Joan Brown Campbell with a ceremonial portrait unveiling.

The portrait is “a lasting and honorable tribute to [Joan’s] extraordinary service to Chautauqua and the world,” said the Rev. Robert Franklin, Campbell’s successor, who hosted the presentation. “Initially we were concerned about how well a single portrait or picture might capture her intelligence, her humor, her spirituality, her passion for justice and her love of Chautauqua. But I think you will agree that all of these virtues are represented here because they are all so much a part of her presence and soul.”

Campbell’s portrait now hangs in the foyer of the Hall of Missions, the department’s guest house, along with those of several other recent directors, including Ralph Loew, William Jackson and Ross Mackenzie.

Some interests never die — and for Susan Grimm, her interests lie in beginnings, endings, titles and white space.

Grimm, author of Lake Erie Blue and the poet-in-res-idence for Week Nine, will discuss exactly that with her Brown Bag lecture, called “Beginnings, Endings, Ti-tles, and White Space,” at 12:15 p.m. today on the front porch of the Literary Arts Center at Alumni Hall.

“I decided that I wanted to give a lecture about some-thing that was interesting to me as a way of approaching poems,” Grimm said.

Grimm has been invested in poetry from an early age.

“This sounds really so hokey, but I probably wrote my first poems when I was about 7 years old,” Grimm said.

The writer added that working at her craft and see-ing her writing evolve is what has kept her interested in po-etry over time. It also helps her on an emotional level.

“This sounds so New Age-y — I think it’s some-how good for me,” Grimm said. “In a way, I think it’s how I interpret the world or understand the world or make things right for myself

in the world. So it’s doing both of those things: I re-ally enjoy the making of the object, but I also enjoy what it does for me personally as well.”

Grimm’s interest in her Brown Bag topic first arose when she was editing Order-ing the Storm, a book of es-says on arranging books of poetry.

“The reason that I did that was because I was really in-terested in it at the time, so I kind of pushed and said, ‘Hey, this would be good to have a book about,’ ” Grimm said. “So I think I’m looking at it in the same way. You know, maybe if I were go-ing to be writing a book to-day, these are the things that I would be saying the book should be about.”

One aspect of poetry that Grimm finds especially fas-cinating is the ending of the poem.

“You really can’t talk about — I don’t think — what should happen at the end of a poem,” Grimm said. “You can look at the begin-ning of a poem, you can read the first line, and talk about what’s happening in the be-ginning, but you really can’t, in the same way, look at the end of a poem and say, ‘Well this is the last line. What’s happening here?’ Because there’s too much connection

to what has gone before.”Grimm also finds begin-

nings and titles to be a com-mon stumbling point for new writers.

“Especially if they’re new writers,” she said. “I think that I talk a lot about begin-nings as places that people feel uncomfortable with. All

kinds of writers are kind of uncomfortable with titling, so I’m going to kind of argue why the title is important and all the ways you should be thinking about it.”

Grimm said that, while her Brown Bag is geared to-ward poetry, she thinks it might be useful for all writ-ers, regardless of genre. She believes that all creative writing informs each other. Grimm said short story writ-ers might not be interested in “learning about line breaks,” but that she imagines “they would be interested in this discussion of how things be-gin and end.”

Regardless of what genre they may or may not write in, Grimm hopes that her audience will have one main takeaway from her lecture.

“Old problems — and maybe new things to think about,” Grimm said.

2014 CHAUTAUQUA HEALTH CARE FORUM

Tuesday, Aug. 19

In addition to the traditional morning and afternoon lectures, Chautauqua Institution offers a series of special presentations this week designed to further engage Chautauquans on issues pertaining to the week’s theme, “Health Care: From Bench to Bedside.”

“Using Big Data From Electronic Heath Records for Clinical Discovery” David Kaelber, M.D., practicing internist and pediatrician, MetroHealth System 8:30 a.m. — Elizabeth S. Lenna Hall

David Kaelber became MetroHealth’s first chief medical informatics officer in 2008. His work using electronic health records to discover underdiagnosis of hypertension in children and adolescents was selected as a top 10 advanced in all of stroke and cardiovascular medicine by the American Heart Association in 2007 and won a Ladies Home Journal healthcare breakthrough award in 2008. He has been identified as one of the top 25 clinical informaticists in the country by Modern Healthcare.

“Cardio Vascular Wellness” Carmue D’amico, D.O., clinical associate professor of internal medicine and cardiology and assistant director of clinical education, LECOM 12:30 p.m. — Athenaeum Hotel Parlor

In 2011, Weinberger tran-sitioned to his current posi-tion as director and CEO of the Lieber Institute for Brain Development, which cur-rently houses theMaltz Re-search Laboratories in East Baltimore. He also lecturestoJohnsHopkinsUniversitystudents and trainees in psy-chiatry, neurology, neurosci-ence and genetics.

“One of the great chal-lenges of neuroscience is understanding the brain and behavior relationship,” Weinberger said. “In science, it’s the challenge of our time — how brains get made and go out of whack; the science of mental illness.”Weinbergersaidhefirstbe-

came “fascinated by the intel-lectual ferment of psychiatry” in medical school — “particu-larly the intellectual challenge of combining exploratory sci-ence and humanity.”“Humanity is not always

found in medicine,” he said.

After graduating from Johns Hopkins, he studiedmedicineattheUniversityofPennsylvania before under-taking residencies in psychia-tryatHarvardMedicalSchooland in neurology at George WashingtonUniversity.Wein-berger is board certified inpsychiatry and in neurology.

“I am very interested in how the brain can get itself into these situations,” he said. “During my training in psychiatry I was trying to make sense of these dis-abling and often traumatic conditions that, at a low-resolution analysis, you can think came out of the blue. Howdidtheyhappen?”TheWorldHealthOrgani-

zation reported in 2008 thatmental disorders account for about 14 percent of the global disease burden, are connect-ed with many other medical conditions, and are among the most expensive disor-ders to treat. It also found thatqualifiedstaffandfund-ing are so scarce in health care systems worldwide, and

commitment by policy mak-erssodeficient,thatpreven-tion and treatment measures knowntobeeffectiveareof-ten not implemented. “Mental disorders are a

major concern,” Weinberger said. “They are major public problems. They are not avoid-able anymore, because the impact on individuals, fami-lies and society is too great.”

According to Weinberger, the study of genes and en-vironment has profoundly changed the landscape.

“These are hardcore bio-logical realities — not just wives tales or nature versus. nurture,” he said. “This puts us in the same league as heart disease, stroke, cancer, dia-betes and obesity. All mental disorders are caused by genes and environment. We’ve al-ways said this, but now we know it. We know the names of the genes — they are real entities that we can study with hardcore science. We’ve made real progress. We’re now poised on a precipice.”

This precipice, Weinberg-

er said, represents the need to reverse from character-izing mental disorders toidentifying novel cures and means of prevention. Scien-tists have come to the point where they can begin to ex-plore the possibility of cures.

“We’re not dealing at the level of superficial descrip-tion, as we had been for 100 years,” he said. “Now we know what mental illnesses are. We have hard evidence as to what they actually are.”

Weinberger said that pharmaceutical companies are increasingly abandoning brain drug development. Pri-vate investment is needed to invigorate treatment because money is a constant worry.

“There has to be major pri-vate investment from private citizens preoccupied withbenefitingothers,”Weinberg-er said. “Private investment is providing a critical cata-lytic resource that focuses on results versus feeding the research engine as a goal in itself. It drives the results that havebenefitandapplication.”

For this reason, rites and rituals around the dead, such as funerals, generally take much longer in African cultures than they do in the U.S.,Larteysaid.Thereisno“better” way; a great deal can be learned fromrecognizinghowculturesdiffer,headded.

One thing that should not be encouraged, however, is telling people to “get over” death. Although it’s possible for “morbid lingering” to go on too long, one can learn from being sensitive to others andrecognizinggriefisnor-mal and natural, Lartey said.

“I think that grieving, which is an essential and crucial part of dealing with death — especially the death

of close persons — grieving is something that happens in all cultures and rituals,” he said.

Lartey will draw other parallels between cultures; although African religions place great emphasis on hon-oring ancestors, Americans partake in similar practices that play out in differentways, such as by naming bridges and buildings after people who have died.

“There is a strong sense of honoring and respecting and continuing to value and to be in relationships [with] those who have gone before,” he said. “When we quote and cite these late, great persons who founded disciplines — and, in terms of religious traditions [like] the sources of the teach-ing the theology and so on — that is what we are doing.”

Yes. The hospital, named the “Lodge,” was built in 1912. DoctorsW.S.Bainbridge, JamesBabbitt and J.B. Seaverputup the money for its construction. The hospital was owned by the Institution and administered by a board chaired by Arthur Bestor. There were two wings, one for women and oneformen,withoffices,akitchenanddiningroominthecenter. Behind the hospital was a pavilion for surgery. The Lodge was an emergency hospital — not a sanatorium — fullystaffedwithnursesandphysicians,whichservedbothChautauqua and the local area. During World War I, the hos-pital was also used for Red Cross training. Bainbridge abdi-cated his position as head administrator when he joined the service in1917.Ultimately, thehospital closed in1922.TheLodgewasthenusedtohousetheHomeEconomicsSchool.The building was thoroughly renovated to become the Car-nahan-JacksonDanceStudio.

Foody is the author of a book, The Pie Seller, The Drunk and The Lady. The book con-tains stories of three ordinary people who became heroes in the Lexington cholera disaster.

“The pie seller was a free black woman. She sold pies downtown Lexington,” Foody said. “She knew the drunk, and helped take care of him, a homeless man who stayed to bury the dead.”

The lady took in young children who had been or-phaned in the epidemic.“Her own mother died in

her home of cholera,” Foody said. “She organized womenfromdifferentchurches,raisedmoney and started an orphan-age. She formed a society that

is still in existence today.” Foody said it is important

to remember that the common personcanmakeadifference.

Foody has worked in com-munity health in New York state and Kentucky, taught nursing at Kentucky State University and coordinatedresearch projects on new medicines for high blood pressure, cholesterol, osteo-porosis, organ transplant and lung cancer at theUni-versityofKentuckyMedicalCenter.

“It’s our first time per-forming the concerto, so we’re already bringing ex-tra excitement and energy into the show,” he said. “The firstmovementisrollickingfun, the second Mozart-esque but with a demented feel, and the third move-mentisactuallyfilledwithchildren’s rhymes played almost mockingly. It’s like a bully breaking up a game of ring-around-the-rosie.”

Not only is it the duo’s first time performing Pou-lenc’s concerto, but it’s also their first timeperformingin Chautauqua and their in-troduction to the conductor Boico.

Both Anderson and Roe admit that the sheer level of unfamiliarity — neither of them have prior experience on the Institution’s pianos they’ll use tonight — but also feel the circumstance will contribute to an elec-tric level of spontaneity as well.

“We always want the instrument and the atmo-sphere to be inspiring us as we go,” Anderson said. “In a live performance,

we’re recreating the mu-sic but also reacting to the moment. You can never recapture that exact same musical and emotional con-versation again after the performance is over.”

The piano concerto is bookended by a pair of live-ly, exalting works meant to addthepompandflairwor-thyofasymphonicfinale.

Boico’s program begins with “The Chairman Danc-es: Foxtrot for Orchestra,” by composer John Adams,and after featuring An-derson and Roe, finishesoff the 2014 season with“Piano Quartet, Op.25 in G Minor;arr.Schoenberg”byJohannesBrahms.

The Brahms piece is one not on the CSO’s standard repertoire; Boico suggested it to Institution leadership after seeing the limited list of available pieces he had to choose from.

“The process wasn’t as if I had free reign over choice, and that’s normal for any music festival,” Boico said. “I want to go in and make the most wonderful music possible, and I think the program we have is a won-derful vehicle with which to do that.”

Twelve-year-old Max Le-rman has been coming to Chautauqua all of his life, but this summer is differ-ent. Now, he’s not only a part of Chautauqua Institution’s physical community, but its social media community as well.

“I take pictures of things happening in Chautauqua from the perspective of an everyday, regular Chautau-quan,” Lerman said.

Lerman is one of about a dozen “social media contrib-utors” on the Institution’s In-stagram account, @CHQ1874. The social media contributor program was implemented across the grounds this sum-mer to cover aspects of the Institutions four pillars — art, education, recreation and religion — through the entirety of each day. Con-tributors photograph events happening around Chau-tauqua and post the photos to Instagram.

Instagram is a social me-dia platform that lets users illustrate their daily activi-ties through photographs. Instagram accounts can then be linked to personal Face-book pages, which allows individuals to share pho-tographs with friends and family around the world.

Lerman originally be-came interested in Chautau-qua Institution’s social me-dia, particularly Instagram, when he competed in the In-stitution’s weekly Instagram contest “#WoofWednesday.” Every Wednesday, commu-nity members submitted photographs of their dog to the Institution’s Instagram account. Each week, one dog was chosen to be fea-tured on the @CHQ1874 In-stagram page.

“When I won the Woof Wednesday competition, I was asked about being a part of social media and Ins-tagram,” Lerman said.

For the remainder of the summer, Lerman was the only community member to collaborate with Chau-tauqua Institution’s social media entity. Together, they sought to provide a young-er, community-oriented per-spective of the events hap-pening around the grounds.

“There is so much go-ing on at Chautauqua, that there is too much for just one person to photograph,” said Jenny Capitano, Chau-tauqua Institution’s social media intern.

Capitano currently man-ages all of the Institution’s social media applications,

which she uses to connect the Chautauqua commu-nity.

In particular, Capitano feels Instagram and Face-book are effective due to the use of photography in the applications.

“People enjoy sharing photographs of their lives, as well as looking at photos of their friends,” said Capi-tano. “For example, Woof Wednesday originated from me taking a picture of an adorable dog on the grounds. When I went to post the photo, I found the hashtag ‘WoofWednesday.’ Everyone seemed to enjoy the photo, so I created the competition.”

In conjunction with pop-ular social media trends “Transformation Tuesday” and “Throwback Thursday,” Capitano also complements photos of the Institution’s daily activities with images of the past.

For “Transformation Tuesday,” users post before-

and-after pictures of people, places and things. Equally popular on social media, “Throwback Thursday” rep-resented by the #tbt, is an old photograph of a person or event from Chautauqua’s past.

“I think that social me-dia is so important because it brings a community of all ages together in a unique way,” Capitano said. “On Chautauqua’s Instagram, each age group is represent-ed by the different social media contributors.”

Capitano also said that she hopes more people, over the next few years, will interact with the Institution’s social media community. To build participation, Capitano has weekly photo contests, ones in which Chautauquans can enter by posting to the Insti-tution’s Instagram.

“By participating in our contests and posting pic-tures, Chautauquans are not only interacting with the community, but also con-

tributing to the history of Chautauqua through pho-tography,” Capitano said. “Every photograph pub-lished enhances the image of Chautauqua and docu-ments the history made here each day.”

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

“Jesus, the master of the art of living, was trying to teach his Disciples about kingdom living — liv-ing on earth as if they were already in heaven,” the Rev. Cynthia Hale said. “The Disciples were

dependent on Jesus, and he was trying to teach them how to negotiate life without him. Prayer was and still is the key — to pray and not give up.”

Hale delivered her sermon, “God Will Answer Prayer!,” at the 9:15 a.m. morning worship service Monday. Her se-lected Scripture text was Luke 18:1-8.

“Prayer is the permanent occupation of the believer; it is a daily activity, not a last-ditch response,” she said. “We can’t live without constant prayer. Luke mentions it more than any other writer. Prayer occurs in key times and places in Luke-Acts, from people praying in the temple [in the beginning of the Gospel] to the Disciples in the upper room [in Acts].”

Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit while he was praying. “Why do you have so little power, so little control over

your emotions? You are like a drained battery and you need to hook into a source of power,” Hale said.

That power, she continued, is the Holy Spirit. Jesus prayed in public and in private. He prayed daily. “He lived his life in the power of prayer so that he could

choose God’s way and not his own,” Hale said. “It was no easier for Jesus than it is or you and me. He was tempted by shortcuts that he had to work out in prayer. The Disciples could see the power, peace and perseverance, and they asked Jesus, ‘Teach us to pray.’ We have to always pray and not give up.”

Hale said that a “well-meaning” member of her congregation once told her that she would be more effective if she stopped using the words “should,” “ought” and “must.” He told her that people were more open to suggestions and invitations.

“I thought about his words when I was working on my sermons,” she said. “Jesus [in the text] was not issuing an

invitation. There are no suggestions in the Bible. Jesus said, ‘This is my command.’ He is unapologetic that we should always pray and not give up; that is God’s will for our lives. Jesus knows what we are going through and that we ought to pray always without ceasing.”

To pray without ceasing does not mean to stay home in your prayer closet, she said.

“Prayer is not an event or a part-time activity — it is a lifestyle as natural as breathing. Someone said that prayer is the atmosphere in which we live.

“We have to keep asking God for what we need,” Hale continued. “The fear is that we will give up before we get what God has in store for us.”

In the Scripture text, the widow will not leave the unjust judge alone until she gets justice. Some people think the unjust judge is God, but, Hale said, the judge should be seen in contrast to God, not in place of God.

“We don’t have to badger God, to wear God down,” she said. “God is more willing to give than we are willing to ask. God will answer those who are in covenant with him. That relationship has benefits. When we persevere, God won’t delay but will answer quickly — on God’s time table.”

God, she added, answers prayer according to kairos, not chronos.

“As my grandmother used to say, ‘God answers prayer on time, in time.’ We don’t always persist in prayer. We think that God hasn’t come through so prayer doesn’t work. Prayer will work if you work it.”

We live in an instant culture, she said, and we don’t want to wait.

“We say, ‘I am waiting on God,’ but really it is God who is waiting on you,” Hale said. “We ask, ‘Why does God pro-long heartache and headaches?’ God is the creator and we are the created; God is the parent and we are the children. God is the source of what we need and hope for.”

God answers prayer because of unmerited grace. “Christ opened the door through which we unasham-

edly go through over and over again,” she continued. “God measures us by our persistence. How badly do you want it? Remember your courtship when you went after the sweet young woman who became your life mate? Or your career or a degree — you kept at it. You should not be ashamed to keep knocking. How bad do you want what God has for you?”

Hale told the congregation that “we have to have faith to persevere. We have to believe, trust, have confidence and not give up. God sometimes allows us to stay in places that are difficult because God is working something out in us. God is getting the ugly attitudes and undesirable things out of our lives. Prayer changes things and changes us.

“Delays are not denials,” Hale concluded. “God will answer. We just have to persist. God will show up and show out; when we persist in prayer, God will answer.”

The Rev. Robert M Franklin presided. The Rev. Ed McCarthy, a deacon in the Roman Catholic rite, read the Scripture. The Motet Choir sang “How Can I Keep From Singing?” a Quaker hymn ar-ranged by Gwyneth Walker. Jared Jacobsen, organist and worship coordinator, directed the choir. The Daney-Holden Chaplaincy Fund and the Jackson-Carnahan Memorial Chaplaincy support this week’s services.

Yamamoto pushes for precision medicine revolutionAllison levitskyStaff Writer

Medical research is at an inflection point, Keith Yama-moto said in his 10:45 a.m. morning lecture on Monday in the Amphitheater. But with strategic moves in data aggregation and collabora-tion between disciplines and sectors, medical researchers can revolutionize health care through what he called “pre-cision medicine.”

Yamamoto serves as vice chancellor for research, exec-utive vice dean of the School of Medicine, and professor of cellular and molecular phar-macology at the University of California, San Francisco. His was the first lecture in Week Nine, “Health Care: From Bench to Bedside.”

Health and disease are difficult to understand, Ya-mamoto said, because com-plicated biological mecha-nisms are controlled by intersecting, multi-step sig-naling networks. They are context-dependent and af-fected by countless variables. Thus, he said, scientists are stuck researching “impre-cise medicine,” because they fail to understand mecha-nisms and concepts underly-ing disease.

This needs to change, Ya-mamoto said.

“If we can do it, what will happen is that we will reach this mechanistic un-derstanding of biological processes, moving from de-scription to understanding,” he said.

This, he said, can be ac-complished by the integra-tion of biological informa-tion, incorporating concepts and technologies from the physical sciences, engineer-ing, math and computer sci-ence.

And researchers need to develop a working con-tinuum not focused on un-derstanding a specific dis-ease, but on understanding biological processes. That continuum, he said, would not be a “one-way street”: researchers, medical practi-tioners and patients would both contribute to and ben-efit from such a program.

Clinical research, Yama-moto said, is unsustainably expensive. But precision medicine approaches make use of data that is already easily collected on such de-vices as smartphones, which can combat high costs.

A key issue in medical re-search and clinical practice, Yamamoto said, is the way in which diseases are classified.

“What if we classified dis-eases, instead of by symp-toms and organs, by mecha-nisms?” he said. “That would be a reasonable thing to do because all of you know that there are diseases that are actually caused by multiple mechanisms. And if we just lump them together, think-ing that we’re studying one thing, we’re going to miss critical bits of information.”

Type 1 and Type 2 dia-betes, for example, are each caused by multiple mecha-nisms, yet are conceptually

lumped together, Yamamoto said. Each kind of cancer is also stratifying into multiple mechanistic types, he added, citing the example of breast cancer associated with over-expression of the HER2 gene.

Overexpression of HER2 does not necessarily predict breast cancer, and normal expression does not neces-sarily preclude women from getting breast cancer.

“It’s neither necessary nor sufficient,” he said. “But for every breast cancer patient that overexpresses HER2, there’s a drug called Her-ceptin. That drug helps ev-ery single woman who has that type of breast cancer.”

Twenty-five percent of women with breast cancer overexpress HER2, he said, and though Herceptin does not cure breast cancer, it in-creases such patients’ lifes-pans.

Genentech, the San Fran-cisco company that devel-oped the drug, would never have finished the 12 to 13 years of clinical testing on tens of thousands of patients if researchers had not al-ready understood the mech-anism, Yamamoto said.

“If they had not known that that drug that they were making was specific for every woman who overex-presses HER2 and has breast cancer, the drug would never have made it to the market,” he said.

With research as expen-sive as it is, understanding biological mechanisms and not mere symptom descrip-tions is key to drug develop-ment, Yamamoto said.

“Understanding mecha-nism, in this case, is the ballgame,” he continued. “Without it, no drug. With it, a drug that helps all these people.”

UCSF has created an insti-tution-wide pilot program to

explore precision medicine. “It has become the driv-

ing vision for the way that our institution is operating,” Yamamoto said.

Taking a step beyond per-sonalized medicine, in which patients take a more active role in their own medical data, precision medicine ag-gregates that data with that of medical research, popula-tion research and more.

The precision medicine approach, Yamamoto said, allows researchers in differ-ent fields to collaborate on biological mechanisms that underlie the diseases that they study.

For example, defects in cilia, which Yamamoto de-scribed as a “little hair” ex-tending from each cell, are associated with diseases as diverse as situs inversus, retinal degeneration, poly-dactyly, polycystic kidney disease and hydrocephalus.

“The people studying those diseases don’t know that they’re studying the same thing unless they’re re-ally paying attention to the basic science literature, and so they don’t talk to each other,” Yamamoto said. “And things that go on in studying polycystic kidney disease may end up helping our un-derstanding and eventual treatment of hydrocephalus. But if the people aren’t talk-ing to each other — because we’re not classifying disease by mechanisms — then we lose that possibility.”

Keith Yamamoto, of the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, discusses the flaws in the current health care system that inhibit its improvement during the morning lecture Monday in the Amphitheater.

Q: A question that you know is coming: What

are the implications of preci-sion medicine for patient pri-vacy and ethical concerns? this is from twitter.

A: Critical question. And so the implications, I think,

need to be stated in a very di-rect way, and that is that the one completely unambiguous identifier about you is your DNA sequence. And as we be-gin to work sequencing of your genome into the information about you, then every piece of information, every other piece of information about you, is go-ing to be connected to that un-ambiguous identifier of you. So the notion of real privacy and security of your information is

going to change dramatically; in fact, one could say that it’s going to go away. So how do we deal with that as a society? How do we deal with the fact that information could be mis-used by organizations, com-panies, insurance companies and so forth; I don’t mean to single them out but why not? Who could misuse the informa-tion; what are we going to do about that? Because there’s no choice. We gain from collecting the information, but you risk this loss and you risk the misuse. So we have ethicists on the one hand and health economists on the other working on this, be-cause it’s my view, and I’d love to know what you think, that there’s no way to get insurance companies to behave them-selves out of the goodness of their hearts. And that the only way is to convince them that, if they are good stewards of the information, their costs will go down — they’ll make more money. And if they’re not, the barriers will go up, they’ll lose

access to that information, and health care costs will continue to spiral. Now can we do that? What are the answers to the economic models? We don’t know. Early days, but the im-plications are incredibly strong, they’re very powerful, they have huge effects, and I think there’s no escaping them, and we’re going to have to find ways to address them.

Q: When will Alzheimer’s qualify for precision

medicine?

A: Already, there’s an enor-mous amount of work go-

ing on now. Some of you know that, in April of last year Presi-dent Obama announced the Presidential BRAIN Initiative. It was framed in much the same way that President Kennedy’s call in the 1960s was, that said in 10 years — in the decade of the ’60s — we’re going to land a man on the moon. At the time that Kennedy announced that grand challenge, there was no way. We had no technology that was capable of landing a man on the moon. We were having a hard time getting rockets up into the air. And what that chal-lenge did that was framed at that level and that magnitude was that it motivated people to come together to develop the technologies necessary to put a man on the moon in that decade. And in 1969, as you know, that was achieved. The goal of the Obama BRAIN Initia-tive was the same, in which the president said, “We’re going to understand the functions of the brain and the main things that go wrong with it in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and other de-generative diseases that you’re all aware of in the next decade.” And he pulled together a set of forces, a set of government agencies and private founda-tions and some companies, and said, “These are the start-ing points. We’re going to put together a committee of scien-tists and clinicians to find what the key issues are and move in that direction.” There’s lots of great work going on at UCSF in Alzheimer’s and other places in Alzheimer’s now, and I’m confi-dent that we’re going to make progress quickly.

LES US HELP YOU PREPARE FOR FALL

Symphony NotesBY LEE SPEAR

John Adams (b. 1947)“The Chairman Dances: Foxtrot for Orchestra” (1985)

John Adams calls “The Chairman Dances” an out-take from the third act of his opera Nixon in China. “At the time, 1985, I was obliged to fulfill a long-delayed com-mission for the Milwaukee Symphony, but having al-ready seen the scenario to Act III of Nixon in China, I couldn’t wait to begin work on that piece. So ‘The Chair-man Dances’ began as a ‘fox-trot’ for Chairman Mao and his bride, Chiang Ch’ing, the fabled ‘Madame Mao.’”

The stunning revelation was that Madame Mao, who became a familiar figure af-ter 1966 as a shrill monoma-niacal voice of the Cultural Revolution, and was later sentenced to death as one of the “Gang of Four,” in the 1930s, had been a femme fatale of a different sort. It triggered in Adams and his librettists for the opera, Peter Sellars and Alice Goodman, the notion of a flashback. It would let Chairman Mao and Madame Mao relive their youthful days together.

Madame Mao transforms into her young self, dressed in “a cheongsam, skin-tight from neck to ankle and slit up to the hip.” Her appear-ance and seductive gestures awaken the figure of Chair-man Mao from his formal portrait on the wall. She calls, “Come down, old man, and dance!” He comes to life and joins her on the ballroom floor.

Only the music remains. Adams removed it from the opera because it did not fit. “It was a parody of what I imagined Chinese movie music of the ‘30s sounded like. …[a] vast fantasy of a slightly ridiculous but ir-resistible image of a youth-ful Mao Tse Tung dancing the foxtrot with his mistress Chiang Ch’ing.” The scene in the opera was completed two years later using differ-ent music.

Carrying the 1930s foxtrot image to the work’s conclu-sion, Adams has the (imagi-nary) gramophone playing the dance tunes finally reach the center groove and wind down. With the regular hiss-ing and clicking sounds those of us past a certain age can recall, the record comes to an end.

Francis Poulenc (1899-1963)“Concerto for Two Pianos” (1932)

“I must modestly confess that the first performance was flawless.” Coming from Francis Poulenc, these words could mean almost any-thing. Brash, insolent, sar-donic, even maliciously wit-ty — a few of the adjectives used for Poulenc during his life — the composer was in-tent never to wear the mask of current styles. He was one of “Les Six,” the group of young composers that flouted whatever style was in vogue — German Romanti-cism, French Impressionism, post-War Expressionism. Provocateurs with a delight in outraging the conserva-tive elite, their objective was to prove that musical mod-ernism could be … well, fun.

“It takes far more courage to flower the way one is than to use the fertilizer of fash-ion.”

A charming offhanded-ness, the swagger of a mu-sical boulevardier, runs through his work, often am-bling into mischief. During World War II, he famously thumbed his nose at the Na-zis as part of an open cul-tural resistance in occupied France. But those were seri-ous times. The “Concerto for Two Pianos” pre-dates that war. It broadcasts no seri-ous aspirations, but simply delights in jollity, and an infectious spirit of fun. If he is thumbing his nose at any-one, it is musical snobs who take themselves so seriously.

Exuberance and wit abound in the concerto. In-tentionally uncomplicated, its mission is entertainment. Poulenc turns all the “sa-cred” classical concerto ex-pectations on their heads, beginning with the first measures, where it seems that we have mistakenly started in the development. He then proceeds to “decon-struct” the material, finding contrasting ideas that might have led to the opening — if only they had come first.

“That adorable ‘bad’ mu-sic,” the stuff of cabaret, cast a spell on Poulenc. So, too, did the exotic sounds of the Balinese gamelan orches-tra. Both influences express themselves in the first move-ment. Poulenc also installs in that movement a brief hom-age to his friend Maurice Ravel. He echoes the second movement theme from Rav-

el’s brand new Piano Concer-to in G. The Ravel concerto had premiered in Paris in January 1932, just weeks be-fore Poulenc began work on this piece.

In the slow movement, Poulenc is playing Mozart games — “find the wrong note” and “Elvira Madigan strolls the Champs-Élysées” — writing precisely as Mo-zart might have done had he visited Paris in the 1930s.

The finale returns from Mozart back to the realm of Maurice Chevalier. From the evidence of the music, it appears that Poulenc was a habitué of the same Parisian streets and cafés that Gersh-win’s American in Paris visit-ed. With a playground taunt, the piece is over.

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Major, Op. 25 (1861), Orchestrated by Arnold Schoenberg (1937)

Some people who ought to know better profess disbe-lief that Arnold Schoenberg admired Brahms, or that he considered Brahms’ work “progressive.” Why would Schoenberg, for so many the “Evil Emperor of Atonality,” want to transcribe an early piano quartet by Brahms for full orchestra?

When the question was put to Schoenberg, he had a straightforward answer: “I like this piece.”

He went on to say that it was not played often enough and, whenever it is played, the piano almost always overbalances the strings. By orchestrating the work, he could adjust the balance to satisfy himself. Simultane-ously, he said, he hoped the transcription would intro-duce Brahms’ chamber mu-sic to new audiences.

Suddenly, the Evil Emper-or begins to sound danger-ously like a good guy.

Schoenberg’s decision became easier in the spring of 1937, when the conductor Otto Klemperer commis-sioned him to do the tran-scription for a concert of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

In the two objectives Schoenberg listed last — bal-ancing the voicing and ex-panding Brahms’ audience — he succeeded splendidly. The transcription begins by sounding convincingly like Brahms, enough so that Schoenberg (laughingly) termed it his “Brahms Fifth.” Each succeeding movement wanders a little farther from the old master — but not in terms of the notes. In that re-gard, Schoenberg maintained absolute fidelity to Brahms.

In his orchestration, however — both the choic-es of instruments and the techniques they employ — Schoenberg brings the orchestral sound to a place outside of Brahms’ realm. A generous listener — and who among us isn’t one, hav-ing put up with music on hold and constant bombard-ment of “songs” in daily life — having gladly bought the notion of a Brahms-sound in the first movement, can con-tinue to suspend disbelief through the second, the one Brahms called Intermezzo.

Doubts creep in during the Andante third movement, however, when Schoenberg greets the arrival of a little march rhythm (although in 3/4) with cymbals and triangle — the sounds of a Turkish march. Soon, other military percussion joins, as Schoenberg briefly is chan-neling John Philip Sousa.

Brahms labeled the fourth movement a gypsy rondo, and it was a hit ever since its first performance in 1861. Here, Schoenberg really lets loose. Starting small with tambou-rine and xylophone, going on to rude noises from the brass — including a repeating “rub-ber duck” squawk — and a klezmer clarinet. It is wild and wonderful.

Point of clarification: A “piano quartet” is an en-semble of four musicians, one of whom plays the pia-no. Usually, as in the case of the Brahms Op. 25, the other three are a violinist, a violist and a cellist. It is possible to have a piano quartet where

one or more of the strings is replaced by something else. In any case, you can relieve your imagination of the vi-sion of four pianos gathered together on stage.

Brahms worked on com-posing this quartet from 1856 or possibly even 1855, completing a first version in 1857. After much revision, he declared it finished in 1861. The first performance was in Hamburg, Germany, that November, with Clara Schumann as the pianist.

The period of time when the piano quartet was tak-ing shape coincides with the emotional chaos that immediately preceded and then followed the death of Robert Schumann. In 1854, “the interminable sound of the voices” in his head drove Schumann to attempt sui-cide. Fearing loss of control over his thoughts or actions and the danger he might pose to his wife Clara and their children, he had him-self admitted to a mental asylum. He never recovered, and remained confined until his death in July 1856, a few weeks past his 46th birthday.

Brahms was Schumann’s protege and had lived with the family the previous au-tumn. During Schumann’s confinement, he returned to the Schumann home and ac-cepted responsibility for as-sisting Clara with her seven children. He rented an apart-ment in the same building where they lived. Brahms put his own career on hold for almost two years to en-able Clara to pursue hers as a concert pianist.

When Schumann died, propriety dictated that Brahms move back to his family home in Hamburg. Yet it is clear from their continu-ing correspondence that he adored Clara. Three months afterward — well into the composition of the piano quartet — Brahms answered a letter from Clara, writing, “Your dear letter arrived yes-terday, my Clara; my most ardent wish is to be able to comfort you, but how do I do it? … Every time we see each other again I am more and more entirely yours.”

He was 23.At the end of December

that year he wrote again, this time concerning his First Pia-no Concerto. The first move-ment of the concerto virtual-ly documents the turbulence

of those passing months, but of the second movement he wrote, “I am painting a gen-tle portrait of you which will be the Adagio.”

Throughout these months, Brahms wrestled with his feelings for Clara. Twelve and one-half years his senior, she was halfway between a mother and a lover. She was a musical star, a pianist with international renown. He idealized her. Yet she was the widow of his mentor. He was just eight and one-half years older than her eldest child. By the end of 1857, he was able to recognize his infatuation. He wrote Clara, “Passions are not an inherent part of mankind. … Anyone in whom they exceed normal bounds must consider them-selves an invalid. … Passions must quickly fade, or they must be driven away.”

Through it all, the Piano Concerto shared space on his writing desk with the Piano Quartet. Both works also shared a “symphonic” world view, and neither one could avoid being colored by events — no Romantic com-poser could ignore a real-life package containing mad-ness, honor, passion, love and death.

“Symphony Notes” provide historical context for the works on the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra programs. To supple-ment the notes with musical de-tails and specific strategies for listeners, the author also pres-ents a “Pre-Concert Lecture” at 6:45 p.m. in the Hurlbut Church sanctuary. Admission is free.

Last Tuesday, above, members of the Bestor Society’s Patron Club enjoyed an exclusive recital and intimate reception at the Sherwood-Marsh Studios with pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk prior to his Wednesday evening recital on the Amphitheater stage. Gavrylyuk shared insights on his musical journey and his experiences at Chautauqua before treating guests to a private performance. The Patron Club recognizes those who have made a leadership gift inside the Bestor Society of $10,000 or more to the Chautauqua Fund.

Then, on Wednesday, Gavrylyuk gave a solo public recital in the Amphitheater. At right, the renowned pianist acknowledges a boisterous ovation from the audience.

GRAND PIANIST

The Emily and John Corry Endowment for the Perform-ing Arts provides funding for tonight’s performance of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra with guest con-ductor Daniel Boico and pia-nists Elizabeth Joy Roe and Greg Anderson.

Established in 2011 by John Corry, the Fund is a permanent endowment fund held within the Chautau-qua Foundation to support the instruction, production, and presentation of the per-forming arts at Chautauqua Institution on behalf of the schools engaged in the per-forming arts or Chautauqua’s professional companies.

John A. and Emily McK-night Corry are longtime residents of Bronxville, New York, where both have been active in local affairs. John Corry is a retired se-nior partner in Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, a prominent New York City law firm. He served as a member of the Chautauqua Founda-tion Board of Directors and served on the cabinet for the Idea Campaign. John Corry served as the first chair of Chautauqua’s Planned Giv-ing Council. Emily Corry, the former Emily Sellstrom McKnight, grew up in James-town, and spent a number of summers with her family at

Chautauqua in the log cabin at 16 Peck. The Corry family has a long history of gener-ous support to the Institution including funding several permanent endowments at the Chautauqua Foundation and the Corry Music Hall at the School of Music.

If you would be interested in discussing the possibility of establishing an endowment to support the performing arts or another aspect of Chautauqua’s program, please contact Karen Blozie, director of gift planning, at 716-357-6244 or email her at [email protected].

The Joseph A. Neubauer Lectureship in Science and the Joseph H. DeFrees Me-morial Lecture Fund help provide funding for this morning’s 10:45 a.m. lecture by Daniel R. Weinberger.

Neubauer served as both a Director of the Chau-tauqua Foundation and a trustee of Chautauqua In-stitution. He chaired the trustees’ Chautauqua Fund committee and served on the nominating and devel-opment committees. He was vice president of the Chautauqua Foundation.

Neubauer, born in 1911 to Ferdinard and Mary Neubauer, was a graduate of Case Institute of Tech-nology and of Harvard Business School. He was married in 1935 and re-sided in Pittsburgh with his wife Marian. He served as a trustee of Point Park College, a board member of St. Clair Memorial Hos-pital, and a member of the advisory board of Carn-egie Mellon Institute of Re-search.

Marian Neubauer estab-lished the lectureship in her husband’s memory. She continued her active partic-ipation in Chautauqua un-til her death. The Neubauer children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are in residence each sum-mer.

The Joseph H. DeFrees Memorial Lecture supports lectures in science, envi-

ronment and technology. The lectureship established in 1987 by the DeFrees Family Foundation of War-ren, Pennsylvania, memo-rializes DeFrees, who died in 1982 at the age of 76. De-Frees was a Warren, Penn-sylvania, industrialist who held more than 70 patents on products he designed throughout his lifetime. He was particularly interested in the study of fluids and water. He was a 1929 grad-uate of Cornell University with a degree in civil engi-neering.

DeFrees spent his life in the petroleum and tank transportation industries. He was an officer of the Pennsylvania Furnace and Iron Company, the Tiona Manufacturing Company and Ray Industries before he formed the Allegheny Valve Company and the Al-legheny Coupling Compa-ny in the 1950s. He worked actively to preserve historic buildings in Warren and donated considerable land to the community for parks.

DeFrees married the former Barbara Baldwin of Jamestown in 1945. Barba-ra DeFrees began visiting Chautauqua as a child. She studied voice and piano here and later, as an adult, became an active supporter of opera at Chautauqua. Mrs. DeFrees, an Institu-tion trustee from 1976 to 1984, died in July 1992.

their first rodeo

Provided photos

Chautauqua Bike Patrol staffers led Boys’ and Girls’ Club Groups 1, 2 and 3 through an obstacle course and bike safety session as part of the Bicycle Safety Rodeo on Aug. 7 on the Club campus’ basketball courts and Coyle Tennis Courts. Club kids practiced turning and maneuvering their bikes and listened to bike safety tips and instructions on how to read traffic signals.
