Munroe Hall 205
My research and teaching are at the intersection of punishment, social control, critical addiction studies and media culture. My first book, Judging Addicts: Drug Courts and Coercion in the Justice System (New York University Press, 2012), examines the re-emergence of rehabilitation in the criminal justice system focusing on the medicalized theories of addiction advocates of drug courts (where defendants are mandated to drug treatment) use to bolster criminal justice oversight of defendants. Placing drug courts historically, I argue that the disease designation erases considerations of race from discussions of criminal justice processing and reform. By calling these defendants "sick," drug court advocates obscure the racial bias inherent in a system that arrests, charges, convicts and sentences African American drug users at a much higher rather than their white counterparts. Rather than reforming the failures of the war on drugs, these courts permit increased social control of defendants in the name of healing and punishing them.
My research interests grew out of the public health work I've done in the U.S. For several years before getting my PhD, I worked as a researcher and policy analyst in the field of HIV/AIDS and drug policy, in New York, New Orleans and other urban areas, focusing on criminal justice and public health approaches to these issues. I am interested in fostering sociology's potential "applied" contributions while retaining a critical perspective on the ways in which this research is used by policymakers and advocates.
During my sabbatical (2012-2013), I am working on a new project, Rock Bottom: Celebrity and the Moral Order of Addiction, that focuses on the visual culture of addiction in the U.S. and the media sites where ideas about drug use are communicated. This project links celebrity to addiction discourse, focusing on the places, such as celebrity gossip blogs and reality television shows (e.g. Intervention and Celebrity Rehab), where ideas about addiction are constructed, defined, reinterpreted and, in some instances, contested. I am connecting the knowledge about addiction produced through popular media to the emerging neuro-scientific discourses that articulate addiction as a "brain disease" and the institutional practices used to monitor and control drug users.
I teach the following courses at Middlebury: Society & the Individual, Deviance & Social Control, Sociology of Drugs, Sociology of Punishment, Bad Boys and Wayward Girls: The Social Control of Problem Youth, and Celebrity.
Courses offered in the past four years.

FYSE 1401 / SOAN 0375 / WAGS 0375 - Bad Kids
Bad Kids
Young people are a regular source of panic for adults. Families, schools, medicine, and psychology communicate what it means to be a "normal" young person; reformatories, courts, prisons, and other institutions convey the consequences for rule breaking. The social control of young people depends on the categories created to differentiate them from adults. In this course we will: examine the labels of child, juvenile delinquent, at-risk youth, hyper-criminal, adolescent, teenager, and emerging adult to understand the ideas of normalcy embedded in these socially constructed categories; consider how class, race, and gender intersect with the mechanisms of control exerted over young people who deviate from the norm; and explore social movements and youth cultures that attempt to resist adult pressures to be good boys and docile girls and redefine the experiences of young people. 3 hrs. sem. CW SOC
Spring 2012, Fall 2013
SOAN 0105 - Society and the Individual
Society and the Individual
This course examines the ideas and enduring contributions of the giants of modern social theory, including Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, and Sigmund Freud. Readings will include selections from original works, as well as contemporary essays. Key issues will include the nature of modernity, the direction of social change, and the role of human agency in constructing the "good society." This course serves as a general introduction to sociology. (Not open to second semester juniors or seniors without approval) 3 hrs. lect. (Sociology) SOC
Fall 2011, Fall 2014
SOAN 0281 - Celebrity
In this course we will explore (1) definitions of fame and celebrity and difference between the two, (2) the history, production, and consumption of celebrity in the U.S., and (3) the structures of power and inequality the celebrity phenomenon and its commodification embody. We will draw from a range of examples including the history of Hollywood, reality television, sports, celebrity deviance, and the role the Internet plays in celebrity culture and surveillance. Overall, we will consider what the pleasures we derive from consuming celebrities reveal about the cultural significance of celebrities in our everyday lives. 3 hrs. sem. (Sociology) NOR SOC
Spring 2012
SOAN 0288 - Deviance and Social Control ▲
Deviance and Social Control
This course will introduce students to sociological perspectives on the nature, causes and control of deviant behavior and populations. We will consider, historically and theoretically, the construction of deviance, the social purpose it serves, and the societal response deviance engenders. We will pay special attention to the ways in which the deviant body is constructed and managed through a variety of frameworks – including medical, punitive and therapeutic - and reflect critically on the social and political ramifications of the categorizations "deviant" and "normal". 3 hrs. lect./disc. (Sociology) NOR SOC
Fall 2015
SOAN 0301 - Soc Research Methods
The Logic of Sociological Inquiry
In this course students will be introduced to the basic tools of sociological research including problem formulation, strategies of design and data collection, and analysis and presentation of results. This class will help students formulate a research question and develop a research strategy to best explore that question. Those strategies may include interviews, structured observation, participant observation, content analysis, and surveys. This class, strongly recommended for juniors, will culminate in the submission of a senior project proposal. (SOAN 0103 or SOAN 0105) 3 hrs. lect./disc./3 hrs. research lab. (Sociology) DED SOC
Spring 2014
SOAN 0318 - Theories of Celebrity
Theories of Celebrity
In this course we will explore the cultural significance of the concept "celebrity" from a variety of theoretical perspectives. We will draw from a range of examples, including the history of Hollywood, the branding of sport stars, the rise of reality television, YouTube fame, and celebrity gossip, to examine the structures of power and inequality the celebrity phenomenon and its commodification embody. We will use theoretical concepts such as hegemony, the spectacle, mechanical reproduction, the panopticon, hyperreality, microcelebrity, postmodernity, and neoliberalism to analyze the extraordinary rise of a visual culture based on the production and consumption of celebrity. (Formerly SOAN 0281) (SOAN 0105) 3 hrs. sem. CW NOR SOC
Spring 2015
SOAN 0319 - Idea of Drugs and Addiction ▲
The Idea of Drugs and Addiction
Drugs cause panic and social hysteria. We spend time talking about them and expend energy distinguishing between good and bad drugs and users. Movies, documentaries, literature, art, and television shows reflect this preoccupation with the use and misuse of drugs. In this course we will investigate the social significance of "drugs" as a cultural, rather than pharmacological, category. We will consider drugs and addiction as ideas that reflect concerns about the "self" in modernity. We will examine the panic surrounding drug use and addiction, our preoccupation with treatment, and our emphasis on sobriety. Overall, we will engage with the larger themes the idea of drugs and addiction raises: harm, exclusion, inequality, pleasure, freedom, desire, perfection, enlightenment, and control. 3hrs. lect./disc. (SOAN 0105 or SOAN 0288) (Sociology) CMP NOR SOC
Fall 2011, Spring 2014, Spring 2015, Fall 2015
SOAN 0478 - Sociology of Punishment
Sociology of Punishment
In this course, we will examine the changing ideologies and practices of state-sponsored punishment that have led to the spectacular expansion of imprisonment and other forms of penal supervision in the U.S. Drawing on theoretical accounts of punishment, historical examinations of prison and parole, and contemporary studies of criminal law and sentencing, we will consider social control as it plays out via institutionalized contexts, namely prisons and asylums, as well as alternative sanctions, such as coerced treatment. We will identify the major phases of penal development and consider mass imprisonment as both a reflection and cause of racial and economic inequality. (SOAN 0105) 3 hrs. sem. (Sociology) NOR SOC

The Fan Museum among the coolest London attractions
Published: Thursday 23rd of May 2013
The Fan Museum is perhaps one of the most unusual of London attractions. Based in Greenwich, this museum details the social and historical backdrops of paper fans of all shapes and sizes.
Not only do visitors get a unique chance to delve into the history of fan-making, but they can also marvel at the wide variety of designs on display.
Fans were often seen as a status symbol in the Victorian era and they were also used as ceremonial tools and fashionable accessories.
The museum holds a number of permanent and temporary exhibitions - the latter of which changes every four months.
Not only does the attraction offer guests the chance to see some of the rarest fans, it also features intricate and beautiful works of craftsmanship.
In addition to the displays, visitors can take a walk around a 'secret' Japanese garden which contains a fan shaped parterre, pond, stream and oriental architectural features.

My husband I have shared one car for six years now and counting – the majority of which we were both working. From less car payments, gas and insurance we have saved upwards of $30,000 over the course of six years. When house-hunting we only needed a one-car garage. This, indirectly, saved us money too.
How do we manage to do this? I'll show you.
First, it takes a little planning. You do need to know one another's schedules. This means asking the other person if an appointment or interview is ok. You cannot just pick up and go and be gone for hours on end, stranding the other person. This can be a big adjustment for some. Plan to do as much at once as possible in each outing. Combine errand trips together. Ask the other person you are sharing a car with if there's something they need in that part of town. This, in the end, will help save you time and your sanity.
Second, choose services that are within walking distance from your home or work. It's better if it's from your home, as these days we all switch jobs pretty frequently. Make a list of the services you need. These may include:
- Pharmacy
- Dry Cleaning
- Grocery or Convenience Store
- Salon
- Doctor
- Dentist
- Eye Doctor
- Childcare
- Park and/or Gym
- Public Transit
- Fast Food or Take Out Restaurant
This is obviously easier in an urban environment, but can be done in the suburbs to an extent. Absolutely ALL of these are within walking distance from my home. If you can't get them all at least hit the ones you need the most frequently. Bonus points if you support small businesses versus national chains.
When it comes to work transportation it can get a bit tricky. This is why many households have two or more vehicles. When looking for a job weigh its location a.k.a. your commute against other factors like time, compensation etc. In my household, jobs in town are more appealing than those elsewhere. I also look at what areas I can reach by public transit. In addition, you may want to concentrate your job search in the region your partner works. For a period of about a year, my husband and I worked a mile from one another. His work was on the way to mine so it was a simple drop off and pick up routine.
Employers, I have found, to be surprisingly receptive. I may have had to change my hours by a few minutes here and there to fit a bus schedule. Some even reimbursed me for transit. I would discuss with them ahead of time that they could not spring an emergency errand, meeting or trip on me off-site. This usually took a little adjusting on their part, but was never a problem. In the end, employers applauded my efforts and were impressed with how easy I made it seem.
But the thing is – it really is easy if you put a little forethought into it. If you want to do it, you can. Take small steps and you too can reduce your time in the car, save yourself money, and live better.

LAST TIME OUTThe Badgers owned a double dual hosted by UW-Whitewater on Friday, Nov. 15. Wisconsin defeated UW-Parkside 31-7 and then took down the host Warhawks 27-12 in the night cap. Seven Badgers posted a sweep in their weight class.
BADGERS IN THE POLLSWisconsin fell one spot to No. 24 in the USA Today/NWCA/AWN Division I Coaches Poll this week. Big Ten teams occupy five of the top 10 spots and 10 of the top 25.Five Badgers have earned a place in the InterMat College Rankings. • Senior Tyler Graff continues to be ranked No. 2 at 133 lbs. A pair of wins last week moved Graff to 7-0 on the season. Last season, Graff earned his third All-America honor with a third-place finish at the NCAA championships. • Redshirt freshman Jesse Thielke fell from No. 17 to No. 18 at 141 lbs. despite posting a 2-0 record last week. • Redshirt freshman Isaac Jordan moved up to No. 6 following sweep last week. Jordan owns a 7-0 record in his first collegiate season. • Senior Jackson Hein, an NCAA qualifier at 197 lbs. a year ago, moved up a spot to No. 11 at 184 lbs. • 2013 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Connor Medbery stayed at No. 6 following a sweep last week. Medbery is a perfect 7-0 this season.
GRAFF GRAPPLES WITH CAREER RECORDSenior Tyler Graff's .839 winning percentage (104-20) is ninth on the UW career list. He is also nine wins away from earning a spot on the career win record list, as Andy Rein ranks 10th with 113 career victories.
CHASING PERFECTIONWisconsin opened its season on the road, traveling to Chattanooga for a double dual and the Hokie Duals for three matchups, Nov. 8 -10 and five guys returned home unbeaten. Senior Tyler Graff, freshman Isaac Jordan and sophomore Connor Medbery each posted perfect 5-0 records, while freshman Ryan Taylor finished the weekend 3-0 and Ben Cox and Scott Liegel each posted a 2-0 record. The Badgers then visited UW-Whitewater where Graff, Jordan and Medbery added a pair of victories to improve to 7-0.
FANS ON FACEBOOKA fan vote on the Badgers' Facebook page determined match order at the Intrasquad Scrimmage and it was a perfect choice. The final bout was at 149 lbs., between TJ Ruschell and Rylan Lubeck. It took two tie-breaks before Ruschell was able to claim a 2-1 decision.
RETURNERSUW returns eight of 10 starters from last year's squad, including NCAA qualifiers Tyler Graff, Jackson Hein and Connor Medbery.

Kristin began her career by fulfilling a variety of veterinary clinic roles, including working as a veterinary assistant, receptionist and kennel worker. In 2009, Kristin graduated from the Minnesota School of Business with an Associates of Science Degree in Veterinary Technology. Today, Kristin is a Certified Veterinary Technician.
Having a father in the U.S. Army, Kristin was born in Germany and spent many of her younger years overseas and in other parts of the U.S. She spent the remaining parts of her childhood and young adult life in Minnesota. Kristin currently lives in Princeton with her husband Jake, and their infant daughter, Autumn, as well as their furry friends Pumpkin (cat) and Kiya (Siberian Husky).
Ashley Middendorf, CVT
Growing up as a child, Ashley's passion for veterinary medicine was greatly influenced by close family and friends with careers in the veterinary field. She would spend the summers while growing up in Wisconsin at her Aunt's veterinary clinic, which allowed her to observe the veterinary field in action. These experiences encouraged her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.
After high school, Ashley pursued her passion for animals by attending the University of Minnesota for animal science. During this time, she decided to pursue the veterinary technician career path. She transferred to Minnesota School of Business and graduated with her Associates of Science Degree in Veterinary Technology in 2010. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, one of her first jobs was as a veterinary technician at a humane society. She enjoys continuing her education with conferences, and being an active member of Minnesota Association of Veterinary Technicians.
Ashley resides in Big Lake Township with her husband, Chris. They share their home with four dogs & 2 cats.

Client Testimonials
I really appreciated the way the doctors at the clinic cared for Diamond. Over fifteen years of love with my wonderful dog and the quality of regular care she received at the clinic made it possible. I was especially touched by the sympathy card I receive after sadly having to put her to sleep, it shows they really care.
— Darryl Anton
After recently moving to Minnesota we researched many veterinarian options and we chose the Zimmerman Veterinary Clinic. The staff was honest, thorough and genuinely caring. Their follow-up on our pets care was outstanding. Its worth the trip for your pets care.

We have taken our pets to the Zimmerman Vet Clinic for 20 years. Even when our visit was a sad one, we were treated with kindness and courtesy. The staff has always been professional and friendly. We highly recommend Zimmerman Vet Clinic to anyone who loves their pet.

The staff at Zimmerman Veterinary Clinic has taken care of my dogs since 1979. I am especially pleased with the care of my last companion/friend, Ruby Mae.

I will continue to use them with my new friend, Baily Sue.

Democracy in Egypt a Myth?
Hope, freedom, and democracy — these are three words that have little or nothing to do with what's happening in Egypt at the moment. Yet utterly ignorant newscasters and liberal bloggers seem to equate the situation there to Tiananmen Square — where protesters two decades ago risked life and limb in a face-off with China's authoritarian leaders. Of course, in China they lost.
The frightening thing is that the protesters in Egypt are looking more and more likely to topple Egypt's regime and replace it with something far worse. We, as gay people and Americans, shouldn't be surprised by the horrors likely to come. We shouldn't buy into the false and ignorant hopes of those on the left who falsely frame the events unfolding in Cairo and other cities in Egypt as a fight for human rights.
Protesters there may be upset over poverty and government corruption, but the radical Islamist forces that have long been held in check by Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak are seizing the moment. And we certainly know what their goals are.
Stay tuned. We're about to watch the most populous Arab nation go from one where gays and lesbians live relatively free, albeit discreet lives, to one where they'll be persecuted, targeted, scapegoated, and condemned to death.
I spent time in Egypt as recently as last year and made friends with some gay people who have enjoyed the camaraderie of a more-or-less underground community — where gay people could gather for parties and meet one another in Internet chat rooms. Yes, homosexuality has been technically illegal in Egypt, but authorities have long turned a blind eye, for the most part.
The same has been true in Lebanon, where in the past decade, the spirit of a city once called the "Paris of the Middle East" (Beirut) has been making a comeback.
But the dark thunderclouds of Islamist fascism are rolling in upon both great cities, Cairo and Beirut, and the gains a new generation has made in terms of dignity and safety are about to be washed away.

Comments: I started using the labor guide as a 2nd opinion - for 10 bucks it was hard to pass up, and I didn't have to sign a contract so I could cancel if it didn't work out. I am so happy I did - this guide have made us so much money. I always found that it took me 15 - 20 min more to do a job than the other guys tell me it should take. But Real Time seems like they tell you what it will actually take to do the job, instead of what the other guys think it should take. And if there is a big difference between the two, I call them and they help me out. It seems about 50/50 in the rare times I have to call - half the time they admit they are off, half the time its the other guys. Even if they are off, they say they will fix it. Try getting the other guys t do that.
The program is really easy to use, and the customer service folks are great, and I pay for this program several times over with their labor times. I am looking forward to their update where I can save my tickets and bring them back up later.

Horrible times
Comments: I mostly started using it to print estimates and invoices but it does not save them, so you cannot make a diag estimate and come back and add the fix to print your invoice, you have to start all over, including customer information.
Second, the flat rate times are horribly innacurate. I just started my own mobile repair business and wanted to get a feel for the market before getting alldata and dedicating myself to that kind of monthly bill. The innaccurate times of this program easily cost me 10 hours per week, and I have a very leisurely schedule.
I would only recomend this program for a highschool/college kid working on his friends cars a few times a month at most. It was worth the $10 to get a better feel for how to be my own service advisor but this is the easy-bake-oven of labor tools. If you run any sort of business. Skip it.
I guess on the plus side my low invoices have made some extremely happy first customers.
Vendor Response
by Real-Time Labor Guide on August 22, 2014
Mr. Richardson - Thank you for your review of our product and I am glad we were able to help you make some extremely happy first customers for your business. You are right that the Real-Time Labor Guide does not save estimates or invoices. It was not meant to be a shop management system - we have other software available that will retain all your customer and ticket history, save inventory, build reports to help run your business, etc. Regarding the labor times - we get our labor times from mechanics like you actually doing the jobs in the field. Most customers report that our labor times reflect what it actually takes them to do the job, not what the manufacturer thinks it should take. We continually work to update our database of labor times and our customer service team is always happy to hear from our customers how we can improve. Feel free to contact us anytime with examples. Thank you for trying us, and if you ever need a second opinion we hope you'll try us again in the future

Edwards Wrecks into 33rd at Daytona
Posted by KTGRStaffs on February 24, 2013
It was a Speedweeks that Carl Edwards and the 99 team would sooner forget.Edwards, who is coming off a winless 2012, wrecked on lap 138 and brought his 2013 Daytona experience to an end.
Edwards wrecked 5 different times including Sunday throughout the week. He finished Sunday in a frustrating 33rd.
Carl and the 99 team will try and get things back on track, so to speak, next week in Phoenix in the Subway Fresh Fit 500.

Catfish's Lauren Meler and Derek Shullenbarger Split, End Engagement
Another reality couple have called it quits. Catfish's Lauren Meler and Derek Shullenbarger have ended their engagement, a source confirms to Us Weekly. The couple got engaged last October after first meeting on Season 2 of the MTV series.
PHOTOS: Failed reality TV romances
Shullenbarger popped the question to Meler during their season's reunion show seven months ago. The moment, however, wasn't much of a shock to Catfish creators Nev Schulman and Max Joseph.
PHOTOS: Best celebrity engagement rings ever
"I did know it was coming, as did Max," Schulman told Us exclusively at the time. "Max and I bought Derek the engagement ring so that he could propose because he needed help paying for it," he explained. "We went with him that morning and it was really sweet."
PHOTOS: Quickest celebrity engagements
"I'm really impressed by them," he added. "She's got a lot going on and they've managed to figure out how to live together and make this work." (Meler previously suffered a miscarriage after 10 weeks of pregnancy with the couple's baby last September. She already shares son Mason with an ex-boyfriend.)

Catfish Season 3 premieres on Wednesday, May 7 at 10 p.m. EST on MTV.

Organizations Launch Online Livability Portal
National partners create tools & resources for regions & local governments
The American Public Works Assn. (APWA) announced the release of a comprehensive livability portal, www.narc.org/livability, that offers a variety of resources and tools for local governments and their regional planning organizations. The portal is a result of a collaboration with the National Assn. of Regional Councils (NARC) and other key national associations and federal agencies including the National League of Cities, the National Assn. of Counties, the Intl. City/County Management Assn., the U.S. Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration. APWA members participated with NARC and others as subject matter experts to investigate the challenges and opportunities in planning for and implementing livable communities.
The two-year partnership resulted in the online livability portal that will empower regional planning organizations and their local government partners to lead their communities toward resilient communities. The tools were designed to help regions and local governments implement their own community livability vision, while coordinating transportation planning elements. The project yielded 13 outreach workshops, 15 case studies and a Guidebook that identifies funding and financing options, provides strategic communications templates, and helps further local and regional livability efforts.
"The resources developed by NARC along with APWA and other key national partners will enable public works professionals to understand how to best bring livability principles to the infrastructure and services they provide," said APWA Executive Director Peter B. King. "The resources and tools included in the online portal will enable our members to build stronger and more livable communities, and APWA is proud to be a collaborative partner with NARC and the others to create this important online livability resource."

49. A rectangular area of lawn of dimesnions x and y is surrounded by a pathway of width 2 meters. What is the toal area of the pathway?
50. The length, breadth, and height of a room are l, b, and h units respectively. What is the perimter of the ceiling expressed as a percentage of the total area of the four walls?
51. When three coins are tossed together, what is the probability of getting all coins of the same face up?
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
the answer to 48 is a trick and people were supposed to say 25. well that's silly because the price would be 125 percent. then if that number was the new 100 percent and the number was 100 and is now 125 it will have to decrease by 20%. this is because 25 goes into 125 5 times and 100 devided by 5 = 20.
i think that's it but i'm not sure. i think i've just outsmarted myself.
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being saught. It always defeats order, because it is better organized.
I think the mule has 2 and the donkey has 3.
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being saught. It always defeats order, because it is better organized.
erk. i think they get harder as you go along.
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being saught. It always defeats order, because it is better organized.
Ninja 101, your answer to #48 is correct!
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
yay! finally! something right!
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being saught. It always defeats order, because it is better organized.
x is 342.
Can someone please help me out here btw. I have a hard time expressing what really going on in a particular sequence. I know what's happening, it's just putting it into words in a correct manner.
First off, let's get the area of 1 side:
Let's start with the area of the path just next to the sides with lengths of
The number of different outcomes of a throw is:
which can also be written as (t: tales, h: heads)
t - t - t
t - t - h
t - h - h
t - h - t
h - h - h
h - h - t
h - t - t
h - t - h
(obviously I wouldn't do this normally, just showing it to the ones who might not be familiar with this)
This gives us 2 out of 8 posibilities where all the coins have the same face up, and they are ofc t - t - t, and h - h - h.
So the answer is
edit: There's actually a reason for why I'm not just writing the answer.

The Dudley Farm Garden Group
Second Tuesday of each month
7 to 8:30 PM
Next Meeting: October 13th, lower level of the Munger Barn
Starting on July 8th, 2014, The Dudley Farm Museum will sponsor a garden discussion group focused on growing organic edibles—vegetables, herbs and flowers. This will be an informal group allowing the participants to share knowledge and ideas about organic methods and successful plants for this area.
Possible discussion topics include insect and disease control, starting a fall and winter garden, soil improvement, encouraging beneficial insects and plants, good recipes, composting, etc.
The Dudley Farm Community Garden will provide an opportunity for participants to see firsthand some of the methods and results of organic gardening and to talk to some gardeners about their experiences there. We have many very knowledgeable gardeners including several Master Gardeners.
The group is open to the public and—like the Dudley Farm—not limited to Guilford residents. No prior gardening experience is necessary. Feel free to bring a brown bag dinner. There is no charge. For more information call the office 203-457-0770 and leave a message for Judy Stone, Dudley Farm Community Garden Coordinator.
Dudley Foundation Announces its First Museum Director
The Dudley Foundation recently appointed Beth Payne as the Museum's first director. A familiar face at the Farm, this native North Guilfordite has been volunteering for the Museum since her return from The Gambia, West Africa, as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Since her arrival as a volunteer the Museum has catalogued and inventoried most of the household items, including the large collection of 19th century books.
Beth enjoys spending her time with her two daughters and two grandsons. Other interests include reading, knitting, traveling, and baking. Just ask her about her Dudley Farm grape pie!
The Dudley Farm Museum and Guilford Keeping Society
Accepted into Statewide Standards and Training Program
The Guilford Keeping Society and The Dudley Farm Museum have been selected to participate in StEPs-CT — a statewide, 26–month integrated program of professional development for smaller cultural organizations.
StEPs-CT is based on the "Standards and Excellence Program for History Organizations" (StEPs), a national model curriculum developed by the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH). Since its debut in 2009, StEPs has helped 585 institutions nationwide, including 27 in Connecticut.
The Dudley Farm Museum and the Guilford Keeping Society are two of 23 organizations recently accepted into the program after a competitive application process. Support and training comes via curriculum based workshops, coaching from a dedicated mentor, and access to a Connecticut Humanities grant fund earmarked for initiatives related to achieving StEPs-CT program standards. Over the course of the program, both The Dudley Farm Museum and the Guilford Keeping Society will work to achieve certificates in six areas of museum practice.
StEPs-CT is a program of Connecticut Humanities and the Connecticut League of History Organizations, in partnership with Connecticut Historical Society. It is based on a curriculum of best practices developed by the American Association for State and Local History.
This is the second offering of the StEPs-CT program. From 2012–2014, two dozen Connecticut organizations completed the program. They received some $45,000 in grants and earned 116 StEPs certificates — more than 40% of the total certificates earned by all participating organizations nationwide. Connecticut's program was the first to integrate the national StEPs curriculum and is viewed as a model for similar programs across the country.
The Guilford Keeping Society and The Dudley Farm Museum have already completed two full day workshops at the Connecticut Historical Society and are eager to continue with this excellent program. We have met our mentor and look forward to working with her to enhance the work we do!
Help Keep Our Textile Collection Cozy and Warm
Do you know the Dudley Farm Museum has more than 40 quilts, a large collection of period clothing, and several 19th century wedding gowns? Some of these articles are really beautiful, but many are in need of conservation — a process which is both time consuming and expensive.
We would like to establish a special fund for the care of our extensive textile collection, starting with the conservation of the crazy quilt donated to us by the Potter family when the Museum first began. This historically significant piece has been displayed in the Museum library for years, and contains references to the Blizzard of '88, various Connecticut towns, and other significant events of local historical interest.
So — as you stay cozy and warm under YOUR quilt (or blanket!) this winter, consider a donation to the Dudley Foundation to help support our efforts to preserve our past. As always, your contribution are tax-deductible. Simply note on your check "Textile Conservation Fund."
Thanks for your help.

Darina says: "Although spiced beef is traditionally associated with Christmas, in Cork it's available all year round in the English Market. It may be served hot or cold and is a marvellous standby, because if it is properly spiced and cooked it will keep for 3–4 weeks in the fridge. Butchers often have their own secret recipe. This delicious recipe for spiced beef has been handed down in Myrtle Allen's family and is the best I know.
