INSIDE THE KINGDOM

March 22, 2017 the Chronicle Section B – 20 Pages History students take a stand by Elizabeth Trail

NEWPORT — In 1967, authorities tried to drag Kathrine Switzer off the course in the middle of the Boston Marathon because she was a woman. Women weren’t officially allowed to run in the event until 1972. Ms. Switzer had gotten a race number by filling out the entry form with just her initials. Robin Nelson, an eighth-grader at Glover Community School, won a first prize in the NEK History Day fair in Newport last Thursday for her research on Ms. Switzer. In just a few weeks, Robin and the rest of her family will be in Boston cheering her mother, Tara Nelson, across the finish line. Of the 30,000 entries in this year’s race, about half with be women. Ms. Switzer, who went on to win both the Boston and New York marathons after they were opened to women, took a stand for equality in her sport, Robin said. But Robin’s choice of project highlights another trend at this year’s NEK History Day event. Maybe it was the theme of this year’s national and local history day events — “take a stand for history.” Or maybe it was the recent election, the national political climate, and the widely publicized women’s marches around the country. But just over a third of the projects entered Zoe Hamilton (right) and Allyson Harris, ninth-graders at NCUHS, studied assassinated Prime Minister of in this year’s NEK History Day were about Pakistan Benazir Bhutto. Many countries around the world have elected women leaders, but the United States women. still hasn’t. “It’s surprising we haven’t gotten there yet,” Zoe said.

Ms. Alexander volunteers on what Ms. Alexander calls “dead white men.” “The National History day person I spoke behalf of the event’s sponsor, the Old Stone Girls, in other words, have been just about as with said that they expect to see an increase in House Museum in Brownington. likely as boys to pick male heroes and political both civil rights and women’s rights projects In past years, the number of entries figures as their subjects — until this year. because of the current political climate but also featuring women as the subjects was less than “I talked to people involved at the state and because of this year’s theme,” Ms. Alexander 10 percent, she said. national level, and they were seeing the same said. Even projects by girls tended to be about thing,” Ms. Alexander said. In fact, almost half of the top awards in the local event —17 out of 35 prizes — went to projects about women. And since one prizewinning exhibit was about John Lennon and Yoko Ono, the couple who famously took a stand on peace from their bed, it could be argued that the awards were exactly split between projects about men and women. “There are not a lot of females in history who took a stand,” said Allyson Harris, a ninth- grader at NCUHS, explaining the choice that she and classmate Zoe Hamilton made to research assassinated Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Ms. Bhutto stood for women’s rights and democracy, and against shariya law, Allyson said. “She was cool.” Pakistan is just one of many countries around the world that has elected a woman leader, Zoe said. But the United States still hasn’t elected a woman President. And our country lags far behind a lot of countries in the percentage of women in Congress and cabinet positions. “It’s surprising that we haven’t gotten there yet,” she said. It’s not so surprising, though, considering what Jazmyne Leach and Christina Young learned in their research on gender equality around the world. The sole entry in the performance category, North Country Union Junior High eighth-grader Tori Young took the stage just before the awards ceremony to sing a piece of her own composition about Nelson Mandela.

Ruminations The art of the Mason jar salad by Elizabeth Trail

For the first three-quarters of his life, my father could have been fairly described as helpless in the kitchen. His mother, Mae, was a legendary cook at a time when there was a pretty strict division of labor between the sexes. I’m guessing my father was never allowed in the kitchen growing up except to grab a snack on his way out to play. In fact, growing up in the little town of Antlers, Oklahoma, where every other house belonged to a cousin, he was free to wander in and out of most of the kitchens in town. I’m not sure what he ate in the years between the Navy and marriage, but he arrived in late life not knowing much more about feeding himself than how to open a can. And although there’s a rumor that as a young bride — she was only 18 when she married — my mother crumbled burnt chocolate chip cookies into spaghetti to stretch it for company, she grew up to be a fearless and inventive cook. In any event, my father never really cooked until he retired. It was a little bit bumpy at first. One time, my mother came home from work A truly mouth-popping lime and cilantro dressing brings out the southwestern flavors of black beans, peppers, to find him sitting in the dark. corn, and tomatoes in this Mason jar salad.

Males have females in November, in preparation for mating according to findings of the first and second Vermont Breeding Bird Atlas, edited by the Vermont Center for Ecostudies. National Audubon predicts that, as the climate warms, hooded mergansers will significantly expand their winter ranges northward and live year-round where they are currently found just during the breeding season. Researchers in Manitoba discovered that in 2001 hooded mergansers were returning to their breeding grounds 32 days earlier than they had been returning in 1939. Despite its ever-changing environment, the endearing, diminutive waterfowl that is known to the Cree as the “beaver duck” is doing just swimmingly.
