Seyed Hossein Mousavian has some advice to those who are crit-ical of proposed Iran nuclear deal: “Be realistic.”

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the full name of the recent Iran nuclear deal between the United States, China, Russia, the European Union and Iran,

calls for a reduction of Iran’s ura-nium stockpiles in exchange for relief from nuclear-related sanc-tions. Mousavian, a former dip-lomat and Iranian nuclear nego-tiator who was born in Iran and has studied in both the U.S. and Great Britain, said it will stabilize the region and create a pathway for peace between Iran and the West. Western critics, he believes, are often too biased against Iran

and the Middle East to fully un-derstand why.

Mousavian will address the JCPA, Iran-U.S. relations and the country’s role in the Middle East at the 10:45 a.m. morning lecture today in the Amphitheater. His son, Mohammad, a graduate stu-dent at the University of Pennsyl-vania, and Emad Kiyaei, the ex-ecutive director of the American Iranian Council, will join him on-

stage and ask him questions.“The JCPA is perhaps the first

time the U.S. and Iran have en-gaged in high-level, direct talks,” Mousavian said. “And it has re-sulted in a major breakthrough to resolve one of the most important international security issues, the nuclear Iran case, through diplo-macy and negotiation.”

Though the preservation and sharing of sacred space might seem to be the task of those who run churches, synagogues or mosques, Jodi Magness is responsible for the conser-vation of spaces and objects that were considered sa-cred millennia ago.

Magness is an archae-ologist specializing in Palestine and Israel and a senior endowed chair in the Department of Reli-gious Studies at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. She will give a lecture titled “Sacred Space: What Makes Jerusalem Special?” at 2 p.m. today in the Hall of Philosophy.

“As archaeolo-gists, we not only uncover ancient re-mains, but we also are responsible for the preservation of the site,” Magness said. “Everything we bring to light is part of a shared

world heritage. Whatever archaeologists uncover, es-pecially in a case like Jeru-salem, belongs to a heritage that is shared by everybody across the globe.”

Magness has participat-ed in 20 Greek and Israeli excavations. Her current project is an excavation of Huqoq, an ancient Jewish village in Galilee.

The excavation of Huqoq began in 2011 and has re-vealed several late Roman-Byzantine mosaics that cov-er the floor of a synagogue.

Every day, Chautau-quans walk the walk of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford — literally, in their footsteps, as the two were good friends and spent many hours together on the grounds. It was a friend-ship of two great — if im-perfect — people.

Both will appear through the vehicle of one man, Hank Fincken, an his-torical monactor and a per-former with a distinctively Chautauqua experience, who will bring to life Edi-son and Ford in a presen-tation at 3:30 p.m. today in

the Hall of Christ as part of the Oliver Archives Heri-tage Lecture Series.

If history were to repeat itself, it would be like this, Fincken said. For more than 20 years, he has toured as a living history performer at educational institutions, cultural events, libraries and at many Chautauquas. His performance today is his first time at the mother Chautauqua in New York state.

“I am excited about this gig,” Fincken said.

Fincken prepares each of his presentations according to the interests of the group to whom he is presenting.

In 1957, shortly before she stepped onto the stage for her second guest appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” Carol Burnett learned that her New York City nightclub routine was the follow-up act to Elvis Presley. Since Presley had

recently joined the Army, Sullivan had planned a spectacular salute.

As Burnett began performing, the large marching band that had been honoring Presley and the studio audience of screaming teenage girls enamored with “The King” fell silent. In her memoir, Carrie and Me, Burnett wrote they just sat and stared at her for the remainder of the hour.

But she came back; big time. In 1962, a resilient Burnett won a Peabody “Personal Award” for her comedic performances and an Emmy for her perfor-mance on “The Garry Moore Show.”

At 8:15 p.m. tonight in the Amphitheater, Burnett — the stage, TV, film and voice actress, comedienne, singer and best-selling author — will present “An Evening with Carol Burnett.”

She is putting on only three such shows. Burnett’s is the only performance at Chautauqua

Institution to have sold out before the season even began.

She will use the improvised, give-and-take, Q-and-A format that Garry Moore excelled at with his audiences during the three years she appeared regu-

larly on his TV variety show. CBS Executive Producer Bob Banner pressed Bur-

nett to adopt it as the warm-up portion of “The Carol Burnett Show,” the hourlong weekly variety show comprised of comedic sketches, music, dancing and guest stars that aired from 1967 to 1978. Reluctantly, she agreed to give the intimidating Q-and-A concept a shot for a couple of shows. By the third week, both she and the audience had warmed up to it and were having fun.

Neither Moore nor Burnett used “plants” in the audience. The warm-up part of their shows was com-pletely unscripted. It still is. The difference now is that Burnett will talk to the audience for nearly 90 minutes.

“I’ve been doing this well over 25 years,” Burnett said. “People ask, ‘What’s Tim Conroy like in real life?’ And about Vicki Lawrence: ‘How did you dis-cover her?’ I have stories that I tell.”

She does have a plethora of tales. “I had an odd contract with CBS, where it was my

option on whether I wanted to do a variety show,” Burnett said. “They said it’s a man’s game. It’s Sid Caesar, Jackie Gleason, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Dean Martin. They wanted me to do a sitcom, and I said, ‘No, I want to be different people.’ I’d learned so much working with Garry Moore.”

On paper, Shakespeare is all about the language and grappling with the text. But on stage, Shakespeare is a whole new ballgame: Through the actors’ craft, costumes and lights, the words are brought to life.

Chautauqua Theater Com-pany’s final performance of Henry V begins at 4 p.m. today in Bratton Theater. And while the audience watches the 13 conservatory members on stage, it is difficult to overlook the hues of blues and reds that define the French and english and streaks of white that set forth Henry’s life.

Justin Townsend can be held responsible for the lambent Bratton stage these

days. A lighting designer hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Townsend won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Lighting Design in 2013 and has overseen lighting for vari-ous productions and festi-vals including the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

“One of the things I love about lighting design is that everybody else does their job ahead of time, but it is my job, in the crucible of two days, to pull the strings of production together — to fo-cus and sharpen the ideas al-ready inherent in the plays,” Townsend said.

While Henry V is about the rise of a leader, it is also about two different countries, eng-land and France. Set designer Lee Savage is a man of mini-

malism, and Our Town was an example of that. In Henry V, Savage has used two scaf-folding-like structures as the main piece of set; with almost-contemporary costumes, it can sometimes be hard to figure out the two countries. Townsend’s lights are the easi-est and clearest indications to differentiate between the eng-lish and French. Savage also drew all the light booms in the initial design, and it was up to Townsend to fill in the gaps with his creativity.

“I am interested in using the qualities of angle and in-tensity and simple color to define the play,” Townsend said. “The simple gesture of using the blue light to de-

fine the French as the crisp and sharp ones versus the warmer and inviting english — that’s how I tell the story.”

Townsend enjoys the pro-cess of walking into an emp-ty space with a toolbox of bold ideas. His biggest chal-lenge (and joy) with Henry V was the time constraints.

“You have to come in and shoot from the hip,” he said. “It is my job to come in and shout the ‘what ifs’ and shoot at something bold.”

Townsend likes to make “big, bold, strong, muscu-lar lighting choices.” His work and preferences paint the stage. He likes using clear light, fluorescents and tungstens, and Henry V is filled with them, defining some beautiful and impor-tant moments in the play.

“I am interested in the idea of the unmodified and what it inherently makes,” he said. “I am trying to make a progression from this theatrical toolset to say, ‘Here is an empty space,’ and I am using simple tools and fundamental colors and angles to help see Hen-ry’s journey.”

This was Townsend’s first Chautauqua experi-ence. Having a background of community theater, he understood the Bratton space and the idea of inti-mate environments better than most.

“I grew up working at the Dorset Theatre Festival, which was three revolution-ary barns staged together by a community,” he said. “That idea of a community is a priority reflected in my work. Coming to Chautau-qua and being in a histori-cal community gathering is the core of my work.”

Henry, played by Jonathan Majors, rouses his troops with his St. Crispin’s Day speech in Chautauqua Theater Company’s Henry V. The set, with two scaffolding-like structures, was designed by Lee Savage with lighting design by Justin Townsend. The production ends its run at 4 p.m. today in Bratton Theater.

Chautauqua Theater Company’s one-night only Bratton Late Night Cabaret is always full of surprises.

A combination of singing, movement, dance and even juggling, this is the last time all 13 members of the 2015 conservatory will grace the Bratton Theater stage.

The popular Bratton Late Night Cabaret is at 10:30 p.m. tonight. New this year, the Cabaret will be a tick-eted show; free tickets will be available, two per person, at the kiosk from 8 a.m. un-til the show is at capacity. At 9:30 p.m. tonight, patrons without tickets may visit the kiosk to add their names to a waitlist, though admittance is not guaranteed.

CTC directing fellow James Dean Palmer, who re-cently directed the CTC After Hours production Church, is putting together the show.

Because this is his first sum-mer on the grounds, he be-lieves local Chautauquans know more about this CTC tradition than he does. Gil-lian Goldberg, CTC’s com-pany management intern and Chautauquan, will assist him.

Goldberg’s family has been coming to Chautauqua for 22 years and bought a house on the grounds about five years ago.

“My mother and I get to stay for the whole summer, and because of that, I began volunteering with the theater

company,” Goldberg said. She started off as an audi-

ence member, moved on to volunteer and now is an in-tern and assistant director.

Titled “Our Chautauqua,” the Cabaret will be a “walk-through of our experience here, from the day we show up and showed them our gate pass to the time we say our thank yous and good-byes,” Palmer said.

The show includes single pieces and group numbers.

“We asked the conserva-tory to think of their other talents and how those can be presented to the audience,” Goldberg said. “The show has fun elements like jug-gling, but unlike the shows in the past, this year is more of a statement, more of a con-versation, and holds a mirror up to Chautauqua to reflect on our time here.”

Palmer admits not being a “cabaret person,” but he does love experimenting.

“We have built a vessel

and will keep working to re-fine it on the night,” he said. “We just go and perform, and anything can happen. We are creating some pieces that re-flect back on our experiences

of being in Chautauqua.”The show is going to be

one of a kind, he and Gold-berg said.

“We have one gesture in there for the Chautauquans which is quintessential to

Chautauqua, the pride of Chautauqua,” Palmer said.

However, he refused to give away this “quintes-sential moment.” Audience members will have to see for themselves.

shakespeare writes in The Merchant of Venice that “all that glisters is not gold; often have you heard that told.” It’s an idea writer Lori Jakiela seems to have taken to heart. Not everything is golden, but it’s still valuable and can be mined for inspiration. That’s what Jakiela’s Brown Bag lec-ture will focus on today.

Jakiela is the prose writer-in-residence for Week eight at the Chautauqua Writers’ Center. With her Brown Bag, “All that Glimmers: On Finding Those Luminous Details,” she’ll discuss the importance of details and how to find them in every-day life. Her lecture will

be at 12:15 p.m. today on the front porch of the Liter-ary Arts Center at Alumni Hall.

Jakiela is the author of multiple memoirs, the most recent of which is The Bridge to Take When Things Get Serious. she’s also published a poetry collection, Spot the Ter-rorist! Jakiela may be a famil-iar face to the regulars of the Chautauqua writing scene as well — she co-directed this year’s preseason Writers’ Fes-tival.

Writers speak on the things they’re obsessed with, and Jakiela’s obsession is “tiny details,” she said. Pay-

ing attention to all of the little, odd things in her life has helped her add more layers and depth in her own work, and she said that’s something she wants to share.

One of the most important parts of

capturing these tiny details is simply to pay attention, Jakiela said. The poet An-tonio Machado would of-ten give this advice to those looking to improve their writing — something that really affected her.

“His advice to young writers was to pay atten-tion,” Jakiela said. “That’s all he would say when people

would write to him.”Jakiela will focus her lec-

ture on doing what Machado said — paying attention — and strategies for noticing the “little things” people may pass over or think in-significant. The things we ignore sometimes end up being the most important, Jakiela said.

“It’s about realizing that, sometimes, these tiny mo-ments have deeper meanings and that they’re imbued with metaphor naturally,” she said. “so you don’t have to force the metaphor — it might be there in front of you all the time if

you just pay attention.”Jakiela is interested in

talking about ways of see-ing the world in a fresh way and using it in writing. she said she felt this herself on a recent trip to Belgium, which brought to mind Bel-gian painter René Magritte’s “The Treachery of Images,” a painting of a tobacco pipe with the words “this is not a pipe” written below it.

seeing the world and writing about it is similar to the message of Magritte’s painting, Jakiela said.

“What we see is more complex than what we think

it is,” Jakiela said. “There’s always more meaning there to find and discover, and it’s really exciting to do that.”

Jakiela hopes her audi-ence will be inspired to start looking at the world with fresh eyes and find-ing the things that glimmer and glister. she also wants them to recognize that there really is no such thing as writer’s block.

“The world is giving you material all the time, you just have to see it and write it down,” Jakiela said.

Chautauqua symphony Orchestra principal clarinet-ist eli eban will speak as part of the final Meet the Musi-cians Brown Bag sponsored by the symphony Partners at 12:15 p.m. today in smith Wilkes Hall.

Orchestra liaison Lenelle Morse said this is yet another event in a series meant to hu-manize the members of the CsO. This is accomplished, she said, partially through un-derstanding each individual’s musical heritage, but also by learning a thing or two about his or her personal life.

Today’s event will take shape as an informal con-versation between eban and the audience, with plenty of time for a Q-and-A segment. While the topic of his conver-sation aligns with the Week eight theme, “The Middle east Now and Next,” Morse said that it is a “total, total coincidence,” albeit a fortu-itous one.

Born in New York, eban came of age as a musician in Israel, where he performed

in numerous orchestras and toured internationally as a guest artist. He now serves as professor of clarinet at Indiana University’s Jacobs school of Music and spends his summers in Chautauqua.

In addition to his musi-cal career, eban is the son of the late Abba eban, a prominent Israeli diplomat,

whose life will be part of to-day’s discussion.

These aspects of eban’s life are something that Chau-tauquans would never glean from watching him in the Amphitheater, Morse said. Meet the Musicians events lend a holistic appreciation for musicians as well as the music they create.

“He’s just an absolute de-light as a person,” Morse said. “You would never know that he plays clarinet as brilliantly as he does and has so much revere.”

Morse said she and other members have already start-ed to look ahead to next sea-son and how they can contin-ue to connect Chautauquans with their orchestra.

All in all, she said, this event is a fitting conclusion to a successful season that should exceed expectations for the typical Brown Bag.

“It’s not going to be how the clarinet works,” she said.

Myles Bullock, Keren Lugo and John Bambery are three of Chautauqua Theater Company’s 13 conservatory actors in 2015. They and their colleagues will present the annual Bratton Late Night Cabaret at 10:30 p.m. tonight in Bratton Theater.

According to reviews of his work, Fincken is provoca-tive, humorous, relevant and entertaining. His website writes he creates “art wear-ing a humanities tuxedo and a spinning bow tie.”

For this audience, Fincken will perform both Edison and Ford, a combination in a single performance that he has not attempted before. The presentation will include a screening of a newsreel clip of Ford and Edison filmed at Chautauqua.

“They admired each other tremendously,” Fincken said.

Aside from their inventing and tinkering, “I think there were many things they agreed on,” he said. “They liked the same kind of music. Both overcame significant odds in their lives. People called Ford ‘Crazy Henry.’ Edison failed more than he succeeded.”

When he was younger, Fincken served in the Peace Corps. He wrote a novel. He did a lot of theater in col-lege. An early performance

of Johnny Appleseed opened some doors for him, Fincken said. He now has eight char-acters in his repertoire.

“Studying history is to see how values change all the time,” he said. “Sometimes, we condemn a man for the bad and forget about the good.”

For people like Ford and Edison “progress was tech-nology,” Fincken said. They hoped technology would lead to harmony and peace. 20 years, he has toured as a living history performer at educational institutions, cul-

tural events, libraries and at many Chautauquas. His per-formance today is his first time at the mother Chautau-qua in New York state.

“I am excited about this gig,” Fincken said.

Fincken prepares each of his presentations according to the interests of the group to whom he is presenting. According to reviews of his work, Fincken is provoca-

tive, humorous, relevant and entertaining. His website writes he creates “art wear-ing a humanities tuxedo and a spinning bow tie.”

Ask the Archivist

WHEN WAS PALESTINE PARK BUILT?

Rev. Wythe built Palestine Park for the first Assembly in 1874. It has since been repaired and somewhat altered, but it has always been there. There was also a model of Jerusalem, but it was destroyed by a storm.

For more information on this question or to submit your own question to the archivist, visit the Oliver Archives at the corner of Massey and South, or send a message to archivist Jon Schmitz: jschmitz@ciweb.org

There is more to be re-vealed if someone asks, in-cluding how Burnett con-vinced CBS and audiences that a comedy variety show was also a woman’s game.

“We had so much fun,” Burnett said. “Those 11 years weren’t a challenge. The challenge was when I did ‘Friendly Fire.’ I hoped that the audience wouldn’t look at me as Carol the goofball. Comedy is my love.”

Even after so many years, Burnett still relishes per-forming for an audience.

“You can get their feed-back, even when you’re do-ing something serious,” she said. “I’m not that thrilled with what I do on film be-cause there’s no audience — aside from the director. I’m like a warhorse. Once that curtain raises, I go until it falls. In film, you sit around a lot. It’s a whole different ballgame.”

Burnett need not have been concerned about be-ing irrevocably perceived as a goofball. She played Peg Mullen in “Friendly Fire” so convincingly that she was nominated for a 1979 Prime-time Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Se-ries or a Special.

Lawrence, a teenager resembling Burnett who had won the Miss Fireball Contest at Hollywood Park shortly before landing the

role of Burnett’s kid sister on “The Carol Burnett Show,” played the cranky Mama in the recurring play-like fea-ture about a dysfunctional family called “The Family.” With a South Texas accent and a “god-awful” outfit, Burnett portrayed a mean Eunice, Mama’s married daughter. Years later, Law-rence starred in the spin-off show, “Mama’s Family.”

Along with Burnett, Law-rence and Conroy — who was a monthly or bimonthly guest until the show’s last three years, when he ap-peared weekly — “The Carol Burnett Show’s” repertoire featured two other players.

Harvey Korman, who had been “second banana” on “The Danny Kaye Show,” was an integral member of Burnett’s “TV family” dur-ing all but the final year of her show’s 11-year run.

Lyle Waggoner, who was originally cast as the hand-some announcer and com-mercial pusher for whom Burnett would go gaga, had such fine comedic delivery and timing that the show’s writers were soon including him in sketches.

Although Burnett chose to end “The Carol Burnett Show” in 1978, three of the five cast members performed in four postscript episodes titled, “Carol Burnett and Company,” which aired the following year. A year before the original show ended, the comedy sketches were edited and produced as half-hour

episodes. For many years, they were in syndication as “Carol Burnett and Friends.” MeTV began airing them in January 2015.

Burnett is currently work-ing on “The Lost Episodes.” She said that the first five years of “The Carol Burnett Show” have never been seen since they were first aired.

Those who were unable to purchase a ticket for Bur-nett’s sold-out show this evening and those whose curiosity will be peaked af-ter seeing it can take heart: Several of the stories — and many others — she will share can be found in her memoirs: This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection, Carrie and Me: A Mother-Daughter Love Story, and One More Time. In 2012, Burnett co-authored a children’s book. With George Mendoza, she wrote What I Want to Be When I Grow Up in the mid-1970s.

Currently, Burnett is writ-ing a book titled In the Sand-box, “about our show.”

No matter the genre, most of her screen and stage per-formances have received acclaim. It has been uncom-mon for Burnett not to have been nominated for, or also to have won, at least one highly coveted honor in any given year since 1959, when she was nominated for a Tony Award for Once Upon a Mattress. Thus far — not counting Tonys — she has won 44 major awards and honors, and earned nomina-tions for 33 others.

She was also honored with a star on the “Walk of Fame,” which was placed along Hollywood Boulevard in front of the old Warner Bros. Theater. Burnett had worked there as an usherette during the summer of 1951, when she was a freshman at UCLA, until late one week-night when the manager ripped the epaulets off her maroon and gold uniform. If asked this evening, she may reveal the reason her boss, Mr. Batton, fired her.

Burnett has been a recipi-ent of several eminent hon-ors spanning her career. Last year, she received the Harvey Award from The Jimmy Stew-art Museum. Two years ago, she earned the Mark Twain Award for American Humor, and Hollywood High School held a ceremony designat-ing “Carol Burnett Square.” The Television Critics Asso-ciation bestowed upon her its Career Achievement Award in 2006, she received the TV Lands “Legend” Award in 2005, and in 1987 she won the ACA’s Lifetime Achievement Award in Comedy.

In Washington, D.C., Pres-ident George W. Bush pre-sented Burnett with the 2005 Presidential Medal of Free-dom two years after she had earned the Kennedy Center Honors.

Burnett is looking forward to receiving the Screen Actors Guild’s 2015 Lifetime Achieve-ment Award in January 2016.

“Yeah,” she said, “it’s a big honor.”

Since the Iranian Revo-lution of 1979, the U.S. has imposed heavy sanctions against Iran, and in 2006, the U.N. Security Council also imposed sanctions on the country after it refused to end its uranium enrichment program.

These sanctions have negatively impacted Iran’s economy, hurting civilians in addition to the Iranian government. But Mousavian believes the sanctions also led Iran to multiply its urani-um enrichment production because the economic harm they caused made the coun-try desperate for domestic energy from nuclear sources.

“The sanctions have been completely unproductive because they pushed Iran to increase its nuclear capacity program,” he said.

Opponents have argued that lifting sanctions could lead Iran to develop a nucle-

ar weapon and subsequently attack Israel. Mousavian, however, thinks this opposi-tion is uncalled for.

“Iran is a member of [the Treaty on the Non-Prolifer-ation of Nuclear Weapons], and Israel has never been ready to accept NPT,” he said. “Iran does not have a nuclear bomb, and Israel has 400 nuclear bombs — the only country in the Middle East to have nuclear bombs.”

He said Iran has provided more than 7,000 maps of its nuclear facilities to the In-ternational Atomic Energy Agency, which no other member of NPT has done. Is-rael, he said, has not allowed for even one inspection of its nuclear facilities.

“For Israel to be the po-lice of non-proliferation in the Middle East is a joke,” he said. “Israel [and its support-ers] have to accept this real-ity. Otherwise they will lose their credibility.”

Mousavian said Iran could build a nuclear weap-

on if it wanted to based on its ability to master uranium enrichment for energy pur-poses, but religious convic-tion prevents it. Iran is the only Muslim country to have issued a fatwa, or a formal ruling based on Islamic law, condemning all weapons of mass destruction.

“All religious leaders from Tehran have confirmed the fatwa to a religious de-gree,” he said. “During the Iran-Iraq War, Saddam Hus-sein used chemical weap-ons against Iran, killing an indirect 100,000 Iranians. Unfortunately, the U.S. and the West supported Saddam. However, Iran did not retali-ate against chemical weap-ons with chemical weapons because of this religious be-lief, because of fatwa.”

Ultimately Mousavian believes understanding the motivations and grievances of all parties is key to resolv-ing tensions and establishing peace in the Middle East.

“When I read literature

from the West, they are all one-sided, only talking about the Western point of view,” he said. “We must un-derstand why Iranians can-not trust the West and the U.S. and why the West can-not trust Iran. The mistrust is mutual.”

Furthermore, he said, it is imperative that the U.S. im-prove its relations with Iran in order to address growing threats in the Middle East, such as the Islamic State group and other terrorist organizations that Mousa-vian believes have gained momentum since the Arab Spring.

“No one can deny the role of the U.S. as a major inter-national power,” he said. “And everyone now accepts the role of Iran in the re-gion as the regional power. Therefore, it would be great if the regional power and the world power could fit to-gether, negotiate and cooper-ate on resolving the crises in the region.”

In March, the discovery of a mosaic depicting an ele-phant and a military leader was announced in National Geographic. Alexander the Great is speculated to be the military leader.

“There is such a rich his-tory and archeology in the Holy Land. It just doesn’t end,” Magness said. “Even though Israel is probably the most intensively ex-plored country on Earth [from an] archaeological point of view, there’s just so much, and so much we don’t know.”

Magness’ current dig in Huqoq seeks to answer questions about the fate of Jewish communities after Christianity became the of-ficial religion of Rome, she said. While many scholars thought Jews likely suf-fered under these religious laws, the excavation is chal-lenging those ideas.

“So far, [Huqoq] indi-cates that these Jewish com-munities, at least some of them, certainly continued

to flourish and continued to prosper,” she said. “Our archaeological evidence in-dicates that there was still great diversity in Judaism [at that time].”

While it’s easier to get permission to dig in Israel than it is in many other Middle Eastern countries, the study of the region’s an-cient past can help to make sense of the present, Mag-ness said. Though the situ-ation in the modern Middle East is not the same as it was in antiquity, Magness said the kinds of conflicts that arose in the ancient world can help to clarify those that occur today.

“When you study the past, you see that the pic-ture was no less complex than it is today,” she said. “All throughout time, there are different people and different religions, all sometimes coexisting and all sometimes coming into conflict in this region. So in a way, the story we see to-day in the Middle East be-tween the religions and the political conflicts is some-thing that’s been going on for a very long time.”

Dennis Ross, William Davidson Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute, and Ghaith Al-Omari, senior fellow at the Washington Institute, discuss the complex issues needing to be resolved in Israel and Palestine Thursday in the Amphitheater.

SAM FLYNNStaff Writer

According to Dennis Ross, diplomat for three presi-dential administrations and expert on Israel-Palestine issues, peace between the two nations is further out of reach today than at any point in his 30-year efforts on the issue.

Ross and Ghaith al-Omari are both fellows at the Wash-ington Institute for Near East Policy, a think tank dedicat-ed to paving a path to peace in the Middle East. The two men met in April 2000, two months prior to the Camp David Summit. They were on opposite sides of the negotia-tion, and both said it was the last time the profound sense an agreement was possible.

The two reunited as morning lecture speakers Thursday in the Amphithe-ater to address the compli-cated relationship between Israel and Palestine.

What has changed in the last 15 years is the two coun-tries have further distanced themselves, they said. There is a fundamental lack of trust, or what Ross and al-Omari termed “disbelief,” on the part of Israelis and Pales-tinians that a two-state solu-tion could work or even that an accord could conceivably be reached.

“From the Palestinian standpoint, it’s a conces-sion to negotiate with the Israelis,” Ross said. “On the Israeli side, there is a per-ception that Palestine is not interested in a two-state so-lution. And the Palestinians think when the Israelis say they want it, they mean they want an Israeli state and a bi-national state.”

The shifting alliances and erratic conditions of the Middle East have made “con-fusion” par for the course of the region, al-Omari said. Between Yemen, Jordan, Egypt — in addition to Iran and Iraq — there is no solid foreign policy aims that are being worked toward.

Palestinians are losing confidence not only in their government, which is cor-rupt, Ross said, but also in the idea of compromise. As undeniably the weakest, most victimized party in the situation, the fact that Palestinians consider their government illegitimate ne-gates any previous progress, he said.

Both men agreed that nei-

ther side has much credibil-ity at this point in time. Polls conducted three years ago showed mirroring opinions on both sides of the conflict. Today, those numbers have dropped precipitously.

Meanwhile, the Israeli government is at its most right-wing moment in his-tory, and the debate over the Iran deal has sucked up much political oxygen.

Intimately aware of the conditions of Palestine as a resident there, al-Omari con-curred they were victims. However, he said, “Life is unfair. The question is what are we going to do about it?”

There is an American sen-timent that to try and fail is better than to not try at all, he said. But to “go big” and fail would only dig deeper the growing gap between the two nations and their be-lief in the peace process.

“Failure adds to the sense of disbelief,” he said. “Now you think, when you want to restart negotiations yet again, why? We already failed so why try again? What can be done or will be done has to be rooted in real-ity.”

The effort must come from both sides, Ross and al-Omari said. Israel could take actions that reinforce their intention of a two-state solu-tion. Palestine’s government could rally its people by en-forcing legitimate security measures.

Counterintuitively, Ross said, the Israeli Defense Forces are currently the most prominent advocate for Pal-estine taking charge of its security.

Taking these steps in-dependently saves the two sides from the kind of pro-tracted negotiations that they have lost faith in, the two said. With a reality and self-interest driven ap-proach, they’d hope to avoid the pitfalls of that process and make the Israeli and Pal-estinian public at large feel they matter.

Neither side wants to be a “friar,” an Israeli euphemism for “sucker,” Ross said. Both fear making concessions for no return. That is why both men feel the current efforts must be geared toward ad-dressing the disbelief and to demonstrating what a two-state solution would look like.

“It requires building to the west of the barrier, for ex-ample. The barrier exists on

about 8 percent of the West Bank so immediately you wouldn’t be building on the other 92 percent of it,” Ross said. “What you would say at the same time is, ‘Look, we know this isn’t the final border. Only a final border can be resolved through ne-gotiation. But until we have negotiations to determine it, we won’t build to the east of the barrier.’ ”

He said it would be easier to drum up popular sup-port if Palestine discontin-ued their anti-Israel media campaigns, for example, by putting Israel on their maps and stopping the airing of inflammatory propaganda.

It is crucial to avoid an-other American tendency: to reduce choices to a binary, al-Omari said. That is the idea that the decision is between fighting the Islamic State group and doing nothing or resolving the Israel-Palestine or doing nothing. What that does is neutralize other op-tions, efforts and produce power vacuums waiting to be filled by extremists and radicals. He added that a one-state solution is a “fairytale.”

“My own investment in the two-state solution is that it can be seen as a win-win,” he said. “The Israelis get what they want, the Pales-

tinians get what they want. Nothing is perfect, but we can both say we’ve achieved our ultimate objective. Re-move that, you remove the objective.”

A belief in a one-state so-lution was essentially the denial of Palestine’s right to be a sovereign nation-state, Ross said.

“The result of a one-state solution would be the subju-gation of one by the other,” he said. “We’re dealing with two nationalist movements competing in the same space. Because of that, the only re-alistic solution is two states for two peoples.

During their negotiations

15 years prior, the Palestin-ians were “children,” full of boundless possibility and blissfully ignorant of other perspectives, al-Omari said. As a result, he said they thought they could achieve everything they wanted and more, and this overreach was a critical mistake on their part.

They both reiterated that these steps need to be taken regardless of confusion else-where in the Middle East. Waiting for the ideal oppor-tunity would, again, delay efforts and guarantee a con-tinuation or worsening of the current circumstances. The seeds for peace are there

but the will to succeed needs to be planted first.

“You’re looking at two people who start with the premise that you never give up on this,” Ross said, re-ferring to himself and al-Omari. “If you give up on this, you’re giving in to those who want you to give up and you’re ensuring that hope-lessness becomes the domi-nant reality. And you cannot make peace when there is hopelessness.”

if they could, the walls of the Jane A. Gross opera cen-ter would not talk, but sing, to celebrate the 10th anniver-sary of their dedication.

Gross, benefactor and self-proclaimed “opera mom” said her love of the chautau-qua opera company helped make the center — lovingly known as “the JAG” — pos-sible. the building was dedi-cated in 2005, and it has since served as a rehearsal space for the company.

“i had the funds at the time and wanted to do some-thing for opera because i’m involved in a variety of com-panies,” Gross said. “And i had the most fun over the

summers at the chautauqua operas, so i said, ‘Let’s do that.’ ”

Gross spent her first week at the institution in August 1984. After that, she came for longer stays, and eventually became more involved with the opera company around the time Jay Lesenger arrived as the general and artistic director of the company in 1994. it wasn’t long before she became known as the “opera mom.”

“i love getting to know the young artists, the people who make the opera happen,” Gross said.

Gross loves the process of making an opera — seeing how the actors and singers practice, performing with-

out the costumes, make-up or stage pieces — even more than the finished product, she said.

in the beginning, the chautauqua central School band room served as the re-hearsal space for the artists. Lesenger also kept a small storage space in norton Hall as his office. Overall, he and the company struggled un-der those conditions.

the company worked in “a literal hot box” during Lesen-ger’s first years at the helm. Running rehearsals with the whole company squeezed in the band room, covered in sweat, didn’t make things easy, he said. But since the institution didn’t own the building at the time, he said, they couldn’t do much.

in 1996, chautauqua Lake central School District was formed, and a new school complex was built in may-ville. With help from Gross, the institution purchased the old school building and initi-ated plans to upgrade the fa-cility and repurpose it for the opera company’s use.

“i think this company has grown in many ways over the 21 years i’ve been here, and needless to say i’m very, very proud of that,” Lesenger said. “And i think the growth of our physical facility has

been an aspect of that growth and a support of the artistic growth of this company.”

the idea of what to name the center came from Lesen-ger.

“i said, ‘What should we call this thing?’ ” Gross said, “And he said, ‘Well, if Alice catelli could name some-thing after herself, why can’t you name it after yourself?’ ”

Gross also worked on the name with Dottie Randall, the company’s piano coach. With Gross’ sense of humor, she was satisfied with call-ing it the Jane A. Gross opera center mainly because the abbreviated form, “the JAG,” hinted at a personal joke.

“chautauqua was still dry at that time, and i thought it was really fun to name a building in chautauqua after a drunken toot,” Gross said. “that appealed to my sensi-bilities.”

one of Gross’ biggest sat-isfactions with her gift is that she has been able to witness for herself the impact she has had on the opera company.

“i’m very pleased with the thought [that] i’ve enjoyed 10 years of watching people enjoy — and use, and live in, and work in — this space,” Gross said. “And i can’t imagine anything better than that.”

The Jane A. Gross Opera Center, at right, celebrates its 10th anniversary this summer as the rehearsal space for the Chautauqua Opera Company. Previously, the building was part of the Chautauqua Central School; the company rehearsed in its band room. Chautauqua Institution purchased the property with Gross’ help and transformed it into what is affectionately known now as “the JAG.”

When heading toward the lakefront on the south end of the grounds, chautauquans won’t be surprised to see a mass of children running, biking and laughing around Boys’ and Girls’ club. Jenny Beeson Gregory spent nu-merous childhood summers doing just that, and she re-members it fondly.

Gregory has visited chau-tauqua nearly every sum-mer, and she said her life has been better for it. to ensure more children have the op-portunity enjoy chautauqua and club, she established a scholarship program that will launch next year.

“[i want] to give back in a way that isn’t just giving money but directly helping kids who might not have an opportunity like i had to

come to club,” Gregory said.The program will offer

three need-based scholar-ships for local youth to enjoy one week at club. it also pro-vides children the opportu-nity to explore chautauqua’s various arts facilities and programs during the mid-day breaks.

the scholarship award would enable the families of these students to attend a Family Entertainment Series program and provide each family with a “Welcome to club” gift package, gas card and stipend for meals.

While at club, Gregory made lifelong friends and even met her husband. match-making aside, Grego-ry believes club can not only forge lasting connections, but also potentially shape a child’s life.

“i have friends here that i’ve had since i was 4 years

old that i still visit with and see,” she said. “club had a lot to do with that.”

Gregory sees fewer exam-ples of lasting club friend-ships, she said. Accordingly, she conceived of the schol-arship with inclusiveness in mind.

“i’m hoping for more di-versity,” Gregory said, focus-ing the scholarship applicant pool on middle-school stu-dents who reside in chau-tauqua county.

Gregory is partnering with matt Ewalt, associate director of Education and youth Services, and megan Sorenson, associate direc-tor and communications manager of the chautauqua Fund, to launch a pilot pro-gram in spring 2016.

Gregory said she, Ewalt and Sorenson plan to pro-mote the scholarship in local schools and through part-

nerships with after-school programs throughout chau-tauqua county.

children around the age of 10 seem to have “the right amount of independence and interest” to enjoy the

totality of Club and its offer-ings, Gregory said.

Ever since she was a coun-selor, Gregory said she has enjoyed watching clubbers grow up. She hopes to do the same for the children

who attend as a result of the scholarship.

“i’m really excited to meet the kids themselves and learn about their lives and, perhaps, make a difference,” she said.

For one week each sum-mer, talented students in grades five through 12 arrive at chautauqua institution to participate in the chautau-qua music camps.

the Winifred crawford Dibert Foundation in James-town sponsors the camps, which include orchestra, jazz, chamber music and a middle school band.

the camps expose stu-dents to intensive rehearsals, musicianship classes, coach-ing and musical enrichment.

there are also opportu-nities for students to enjoy attending a rehearsal of the chautauqua Symphony or-chestra and evening events at the institution. the camps culminate with three major performances this week.

Students will perform at 12:15 p.m. today on Bestor Plaza

At 2 p.m. today in Fletcher music Hall, students will present a special high school jazz concert.

At 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m.

Saturday, campers will give chamber music and orches-tra performances followed by a middle school band and jazz performance at 12:30 p.m. in Elizabeth S. Lenna Hall.

Peter Lindblom, assistant principal trumpet in the chautauqua Symphony or-chestra, serves as director of the camps.

“i work all year with my registrar and my band direc-

tor, primarily terry and mar-cy Bacon, with planning and promotion,” Lindblom said. “We have a lot of returning students, and that makes it nice because a huge percent-age of our base comes every

year until they age out after high school. We have a really good thing going now.”

the camps’ enrollment has increased 30 percent from last year, Lindblom said. With 140 participating middle and high school students, it’s the largest group the program has seen in its 17 years.

“We’ve been doing this for a number of years, and we’re always amazed at the abilities of the children under the tu-telage of Peter and his distin-guished faculty,” said Robert ostrom, president of the Dib-ert Foundation.

the local foundation’s sup-port of the camps is an annu-al highlight for their board, who often visit chautauqua to meet the participants.

“We get grant requests for a plethora of things in the greater Jamestown area, and one of the first things we look at, obviously, is chau-tauqua,” ostrom said.

chautauqua county resi-dents currently make up ap-proximately 70 percent of the campers.

A Jamestown native him-

self, Lindblom said he’s hap-py to see the involvement of the local community and appreciates ostrom and the Dibert Foundation’s help and involvement in making that possible.

Without their support, Lindblom said, tuition would be significantly higher, and less accessible to young talent.

“the majority of high school and scholastic camps are anywhere between $800 and $1,200,” Lindblom said.

the tuition for the chau-tauqua music camps costs a fraction of that, at $225 for the entire week.

Lindblom appreciates not only the Dibert Founda-tion’s financial support of the camps, but also their in-volvement.

“[they’re] always thrilled to hear what we’re doing and they’re very interested in helping us,” he said.

it’s a partnership ostrom is proud of and looks forward to continuing, citing Winifred Dibert’s wishes for the foun-dation “to provide for youth … and for chautauqua.”

if Daniel Ferguson’s re-cent documentaries on two of the holiest sites in the world can teach anything, it’s that, with a shared pur-pose, mutual goals and es-tablishing trust, people of different backgrounds can achieve anything — be it art or interfaith harmony.

Ferguson is the director of two IMAX films depict-ing Jerusalem and Mecca. He spoke Wednesday from the Hall of Philosophy to deliver his lecture, “1,001 Cups of Tea: What It Took to Create the iMAX Films ‘Jerusalem’ and ‘Journey to Mecca.’ ” He said due to work and immigration re-strictions, he used a diverse cast picked for reasons of accessibility to the sites over experience.

“We had a mixed crew, and i want to explain what that means in that part of the world,” Ferguson said. “A mixed crew in this case is certainly internationals — israelis, Palestinians or Jordanians. … We said, ‘We want to do this together.’ And we were laughed at.”

Fighting an uphill battle to obtain permission to film at the holy sites, Ferguson said his secret was establish-ing trust with the local popu-lation by living there. While contemporary media uses a splash-and-dash strategy, he wanted his subjects to know he and his crew were in it for the long haul.

“After a number of months, we realized it was all about trust,” Ferguson said. “no one trusted us. What we real-ized was that we had to live there. We had to live, we had to break bread, and we had to listen to people.”

Before filming “Journey to Mecca,” religious authori-ties said Ferguson could not access the holy site himself unless he converted to islam. He decided instead to train members of his crew, some

of whom had never touched film before, to shoot it them-selves.

“People came together for a common purpose — in this case, an artistic one,” Fergu-son said. “We trained them. We sent 85 of them off, and they went out and made a beautiful piece of art that was theirs. i never saw the location.”

Although he gained ex-perience filming such a per-sonal subject as religion, Ferguson said “Jerusalem”

proved an even more dif-ficult challenge because of the numerous claims to ori-gin in the city, as well as the many different groups of people living there today in different levels of peace.

“You have to recognize and embrace this idea that Jerusalem is many cities, one on top of the other, and side-by-side,” he said. “Yet, they’re often completely unaware of one another’s realities.“

While different sides pushed Ferguson to further

different perspectives of who owns the land or who was there first, these issues were irrelevant to his objectives.

“I think it’s actually in-consequential who was here first,” Ferguson said. “The point is that so many differ-ent groups love this place for legitimate reasons.”

The narrative of “Jerusa-lem” revolves around three 15- to 18-year-old girls, and Ferguson said that demo-graphic worked best be-cause his subjects weren’t

blindly following their parents’ ideologies like their younger counterparts might, or serving in the military like their elders. More than this, he said they have a sense of curiosity that is lost in the course of growing up.

“That’s where the gen-esis of the story really came from,” he said. “To realize that these three young wom-en, who were curious, knew very little about one anoth-er’s narratives.”

in closing, Ferguson said the principles he and his cast learned during the experi-ence — of trust, drive and cooperation — could be the pillars of a coexisting world in the future.

“it shows what we are capable of when we have a common purpose, a com-mon goal, and when we can build a common trust together to get beyond the initial assumptions we have of one another,” Fer-guson said.

Ferguson explains religious cooperation in filmmaking process

BRIA GRANVILLE | Staff Photographer

Filmmaker Daniel Ferguson speaks during Wednesday’s afternoon lecture in the Hall of Philosophy about the journey of creating the film “Jerusalem.”

“Jesus was used to [the phrase], ‘no more room,’ ” said the rev. Anna Carter Florence at the 9:15 a.m. Thursday morning worship service in the Am-phitheater. “There was no room at the inn, so his

parents said we will sleep in the stable. There was no more room for him to preach on the shore, so he got into a handy boat. There was no more room in the house — even by the door — so they cut a hole in the roof and rappelled from the ceiling.”

Florence’s sermon, “Big Ceiling,” addressed Mark 2:1-12, the story of the paralytic man whose friends lowered him through the roof to be healed.

“Jesus could have used a building like this,” she said, referring to the Amp. “He returned to Capernaum, and this gathering just happened. He was the local celebrity. The people clamored to hear him preach. He was coming from his first circuit ride around Galilee, and he already had an entourage — Peter, Andrew, James and John. They were learning how to fish for people. And even one chap-ter into Mark, it looks like Jesus needed a publicist and maybe some bodyguards.”

When the words “no more room” appear in relationship to Jesus, it is a signal that something is about to happen, Florence said.

“it is an invitation to a miracle,” she said. “The last thing a disciple wanted to say to Jesus was there was ‘no more room, no more bread’; we would be reading about you for a long time.”

But how much room, exactly, is needed?, Florence asked. is the Amphitheater big enough?

“This place seats about 5,000 persons — I know, I asked,” she said.

If person 5,001 could not get in, he or she could make a hole and shimmy down from the ceiling.

“There is ‘plenty good room,’ ” Florence said. “With Jesus, there is always a crowd. People want to hear him and have to see him, and if there is not room, watch [what happens].”

Whether there is “plenty good room” in the church de-pends on one’s perspective, she said. If a person talks to the ones who wanted to get in and could not, he or she would say, “Big enough to include us. if the house held more people, we would not have to make a scene.”

The friends wanted the paralytic man to meet Jesus, Flor-ence said. if one really wants a friend to meet Jesus, he or she will find a way.

“Size is not important,” she said. “it is how much you want to get in when you are told there is no room. You make or break some rules.”

The scribes in the room have a different perspective. “That is who we are; we get upset,” she said. “The church

is big enough as long as you keep the roof intact. Who is responsible if there are holes in the roof? Who pays the bills? A roof keeps us warm, dry, safe; it provides shade and shelter. It is our safety net, our polity, our Book of Confes-

sions. When the roof leaks, you have theology without sys-tematics. Everything goes, and it is expensive to fix when it breaks. The scribes are the guardians of tradition, and they don’t appreciate it when people use the roof as a door.”

What is surprising in Mark’s story is Jesus’ reaction to the roof diggers, Florence said. When Jesus saw their faith, he told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

That upset the scribes because Jesus not only broke the rules, but he also changed the rules, she said. Jesus called the friends’ rule-breaking “faith.”

“This happens all over the Gospels: People break the rules, and Jesus does not scold them,” Florence said. “He tells them they are free, and then says, ‘This is what great faith looks like.’ And he tells them they can go in peace.”

it is not easy when the rules change and the scribes had a hard time. When Jesus changed the rules, he opened spaces and moved borders. People had to rethink party lines.

“The genius of this story is that it tells us we have to look in new places if we want our faith communities to grow,” Florence said. “We have to look in places that are out of room — to the people who are desperate to get in to see Jesus. It is hard to keep up with a savior who changes the rules.”

The disciples had to learn that fishing for people was not the same as catching fish.

“They had to stop, pay attention to who was trying to get in but couldn’t,” she said. “They needed to see how much faith is needed. We need to hold the scribes’ hands and help them to see that the blind see and the lame walk. The paralyzed man gets up and walks home. Look at that. Look at that.”

The Rev. Bruce Archibald presided. Jean Badger, a very active member of the CLSC Alumni Association and a member of the Motet and Chautauqua choirs, read the Scripture. Jared Jacobsen, organist and worship coordinator, directed the Motet Choir. Barba-ra Hois, flute, and Joe Musser, piano, performed Sonata in F Major by Handel as the prelude. The Motet Choir sang “I Corinthians 13” by Joseph Musser, a member of the Motet Choir. The Dr. Wil-liam N. Jackson Religious Initiative Fund and the John William Tyrell Endowment for Religion support this week’s services.
