Sometimes, scientists just need to know what is there. What creatures live where—and when. That way, should the situation change in a year or a decade, there’s some record of the habitat that once was. Franklin Jacoby and Elizabeth Hale Morrell are doing just that for Acadia National Park under a fellowship program created by the park for COA students.

Jacoby, a second-year COA student from the downeast town of Columbia, is looking at coves and harbors on Mount Desert Island to discover where common loons are wintering. Once he sights a loon, he enters a GPS coordinate with Morrell’s help, mapping the spot for future reference.

Morrell, of Glen, NH, is doing similar research on snowy owls—only she can’t drive around to view them, but must ascend to their haunts. Twice a week she and Jacoby climb Cadillac, Dorr or Sargent mountains, locales where owls have been reported. Sometimes classmates go out searching as well. When asked how they like spending so much time outdoors in winter, the students beam with happiness.

The Acadia National Park Fellowship program is funded by a three-year grant from the National Park Service. Its purpose is to enlist COA students as researchers on projects park officials have longed to accomplish, but can seldom fund, while also involving students in the park. Notes Bruce Connery, wildlife biologist at the park, these essential baseline research projects too frequently get shunted aside by such needs as drastic erosion or endangered species preservation. “That means,” says Connery, who oversees the fellowship program with David Manski, the park’s Chief of Resource Management, and John Anderson, COA’s William H. Drury, Jr. Chair in Evolution, Ecology and Natural History, “that thousands of species or systems that are just as integral a component in how a system works don’t get monitored.”

“The students are establishing models of two highly visible park resources,” says Anderson. This is even more important with the looming possibility of environmental disruption due to swift climate change. There’s been no local research of loons in winter, Anderson adds, and “no systematic survey of snowy owls in the park, ever.” Beyond this, says Connery, while COA students get a variety of real-life natural resource management experiences and the chance to become even more deeply connected to the park, the park gains extra pairs of hands—and that can be crucial at times.

Funding comes from the Cooperative Ecosystems Study Unit, a consortium of federal agencies and educational institutions that includes The Army Corps of Engineers, NPS, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, COA and eight universities, including those of Maine, Maryland and Massachusetts.

So where do loons go in winter? There are a lot in Bass Harbor, says Jacoby, though a few hang out near Sand Beach or in Seal Harbor and Bar Harbor. And there’s at least one that frequents the waters just beneath Morrell and Jacoby’s noses—between COA and Bar Island. The snowy owl, however, is not as visible. But one recent afternoon, having scaled Cadillac Mountain through the deep snow, an owl shape swooped low over their heads—and landed. To the delight of the young researchers, it was a snowy.

Tom Adelman, COA’s grants manager, wrote an email last month that has stuck with me.

He writes: I just had a long conversation with the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation’s Vice President, William Keator, about our recent application for Stone Chair funding (declined last month). He was completely familiar with us and our stats…The decision had nothing to do with the proposal (funding a chair is fine with them), but with our “statistical profile” relative to the competitors. [A ] metric which really hurt us…:

alumni giving lower than our competitors

He particularly emphasized our low rate of alumni giving, and the decline in participation. Our competitors had a 40% participation rate. At the end of the conversation, he emphasized that we had to bring that number up.

Here’s the background: We submitted a $250,000 proposal to fund the Allan Stone Chair in the Visual Arts. The Stone family gave the lead gift of $1,000,000 and we’ve raised about $650,000 in additional gifts and grants. The Arthur Vining Davis Foundation has supported chairs at COA in the past, so we asked them to support this chair at $250,000 and close the gap considerably on our goal of $2.5M.

But we were shot down, in large part because of our low rate of alumni giving. How low is it? We received 211 gifts last year from our approximately 3,000 alumni (which counts anyone who has ever taken courses for credit at COA whether a grad or not). These gifts totaled less than $65,000. One gift was $35,000, so 210 people gave $30,000 to the annual fund. (These gifts do not include those from the 4 alumni who serve on the board which are counted as trustee gifts.) We raised over $950,000 in the annual fund alone. The vast majority of giving was from friends that had a more tenuous connection with COA than those who actually attended school here.

This is not the first time that this issue has come under scrutiny. Many foundations ask for this statistic and so it’s been an Achilles heel for us before for other grants. With a capital campaign looming, it will be again- and soon. Then there’s the effect on individual giving. When the board of Trustees at COA heard the percentage of alums that give was less than 10%, they were dismayed. How could this school that is based on individual attention, small community, intense relationship-building not inspire their own alumni to give back? One Trustee said to me: It bothers me that I am giving my time and financial contribution to their alma mater. Why can’t they?!

Of course, some do. Generously. Never miss a year. (If you are one, I thank you from the bottom of my human ecological heart.)

But many don’t.

And it’s hurting the College, not just because the actual donations aren’t coming in, though that’s a part of it, of course. (If every alumni gave just $25 a year, we’d raise an additional $75,000 per year in annual support – almost enough to hire a new faculty member!) As importantly, others see the low percentage rate as a vote of “no support” of COA – and they don’t give either.

Let’s work together on changing this. It’s so easy. A little gift, every year, from every one.

Saturday February 13th, around 1pm David Hales was spotted in the Ellsworth Super Wal Mart parking lot with his wife by three COA students. Speechless, the 3 students watched DHales push his cart to his vehicle with the license plate coa.edu, the contents of the cart included at least 2 6-packs of Diet Coke and few bags of groceries in what looked to be plastic bags.

Is this what the president of the “greenest college in the world” should be promoting? I thought he was paid enough to be able to choose another place to spend his money? I thought the values of COA were based around social responsibility? Not knocking Wal Mart here, they are both good and bad just like any other big box corporation but I thought that people at COA avoided putting their money into a place like that? As far as I know Hannafords sells Diet Coke too.

Why Walmart?STUDENT REACTIONS

I just wanted to send you a short and supportive note. I didn’t reply to your first message but I was surprised to hear about our president strolling through the Wal-Mart parking lot. While we may not know the circumstances of it all, I do think it is your and our darn business. I think these are fair questions to ask and I thank you for letting us know!

Can’t say as I’m surprised - the top administrators of any organization rarely follow through on what they talk about. They seem to think that because they’re on top of the pile they’re exempt from any moral or ethical obligations that other, lesser employees. There should totally be a meeting or something about this...the president of COA represents us to other people. If he shops at Wal-Mart, than he’s all hat and no cattle. It’s not enough to just talk about social responsibility in order to change others’ behavior - the change starts with the proponent of change.

I read this article a few days ago: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/201003/walmart-local-produce. It definitely made me think twice. I think that it’s great Walmart’s trying to carry more quality produce for areas that don’t have great access (like Ellsworth in the winter maybe), but I do think it’s irresponsible to shop there when there are better, more community-based options. I believe that a corporation like Walmart has enormous power to bring about change, but I don’t trust them quite yet. What do you think? What have other people said? I’m curious.

I shop at Wal-Mart. It is cheap and I find things there that I can’t find anywhere else.What is the alternative? Target? Mardens?How much we know about other businesses’ social responsibility?Diet coke may be part of his diet?May be he wanted to check the new wal-mart store? They changed their location and logo.Not always, we find things in one store? What were you doing at Wal-Mart?We can’t only focus on sustainability itself, but also look into what others are doing that are NOT sustainable.

It did not take the recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Ed to alert me to this fact: Private Giving To College Dropped Sharply in 2009.

Kathryn Masterson writes: With a battered economy and volatile financial markets taking their tolls on donors’ pocketbooks, private giving to American colleges dropped sharply in 2009, according to findings of the annual Voluntary Support of Education survey, which were released on Wednesday. Donations were down $3.75-billion from the previous year—a decline of 11.9 percent, the steepest in the survey’s 50-year history.

11.9 percent? That’s about right for COA. Our annual fund goal is $1,050,000. We’re 7 months into the fiscal year, and have raised about $600,000. Normally, this time of year, we’re over $800,000. So, let me help you out with the math here: we’re quite a bit behind.

This is not a comfortable place to be. With faculty salaries, regular campus maintenance, student aid and the general costs of running the college being supported by the annual fund, it does not make me sleep any easier to know that a hit in giving is a national trend.

Misery loves company? Perhaps. I’d rather bust through our goal and leave others huddled together with their spreadsheets and downwardly mobile trend lines.

CASE I: You like A, you tell A so and A replies “Oh, I’m sorry, but I don’t feel the same… let’s be just friends”…sorrow!!!!

CASE II: You tell A you like him/her and A replies “Oh, I’m sorry, I used to like you too but now I like someone else… let’s be just friends”. When A “used to like you” you could barely notice him/her.

CASE III: You like A, tell her so, and she replies “Oh, I’m sorry, I used to like you too but now I like someone else… let’s be just friends”, and then you say “I could notice that”, making it seem as though you just confessed you like A because you noticed she liked you before, when what you actually wanted to say was: “I liked you back then too, I’ve liked you all this time but hadn’t dared to tell you”.

CASE I sucks: you like A but A doesn’t and never did. CASE II sucks more: you and A like each other at different times…bad timing!!!! CASE III sucks even more because even though you and she liked each other at the same time at some point, you just didn’t tell her, so absolutely nothing between you two happened. And when you finally dare telling her she likes someone else... sucks to be you!!!

In CASE I you would normally just give up, unless, or course, you are a stubborn creature who likes to get what he/she wants. Insisting most times, though, can be counterproductive: you make the liked one go from a “I don’t like you” to a “I hate you asshole! Can you please stop being so annoying?” And if you take it to an extreme it could even become a “If you carry on with this harassment I’m gonna stick a freaking fork in you right eyeball.” But normally you would give up.

In CASE II you would have some measure of hope: “if he/she liked me once he/she can start liking me again.” So then you would try to be more conspicuous, working hard to get his/her attention. But what is likely to happen is that your evident “try-hard-ness” is going to turn him/her off even more. Probably he/she liked you before because you were so indifferent, because you wouldn’t even look at him/her. When it becomes the opposite, when you actively try to catch his/her eye, if he/she already had stopped liking you he/she might as well start despising your very soul!!!!!!! Then you might start despising back: how can you like someone who wants to break you back and your knees?

In CASE III you have a very similar scenario to that of CASE II, with perhaps a little bit more of hope, since you have figured that she stopped liking you because you two don’t spend as much time together as you used to do last term. Because now each of you is doing their own thing, because you don’t even have a class in common this term. Last term in that class you two had in common, you would play, and talk, and laugh together, and make the moaning noises one makes while really enjoying one’s food, and try each other’s coats which were very stylish. And you would look at each other’s faces and smile and tell each other with the eyes “hey, I like you, and I know you like me,” but you wouldn’t actually say anything. You gotta remind her about all that, something like: “so I’ve figured you didn’t actually stop liking me, you just forgot it.”

And then you think you might know who she does like, who she has her eye on but you aren’t sure. And you know that that who you think she likes doesn’t like her, but of course being like “Well, you know, I know that person you like doesn’t like you” would seem like a very cheap trick to try to persuade her, so you wouldn’t tell her that of course. She wouldn’t believe you and probably would try to stick a fork in you right eyeball. But you might be wrong anyways, and probably she likes someone completely different. Because of all this you hesitate so much that you don’t do anything at all, but being in your room analyzing the situation and the different choices you have.

We have been ripped from the short-lived honeymoon of romance like a baby from the womb. Will we survive? We are living yet but a false fantasy, a contrived state of mind that once broken, wakes us as if from a deep slumber. The dreams are vivid, as nearly real as nearly real can be, but your sickness has

snapped us out, slapped us out, into reality. Nestled in a warm blanket, just warm within and all cold without, reality shakes us with bony hands, rips the warmth from our cores, rakes chilled fingers over the napes of our necks, sending icicles down through our roots. Cold hard reality. Reality that obligates one to responsibility and calls of duty, and up-holdings of reputation, and the recovery of health and wholeness. Reality that holds one close to appointments and deadlines and grieving of misfortunes and all things un-blissful. This is what reality relates to you and me. And from such heights we must fall, which, having fallen, do seem quite too high to have been in the first place. You wonder if such a place even existed, whether it was all a dream. And when you dream, you wonder if it was a reality at a time.

UntitledSTEVEN HUMPHREYS

A persistent thought, arises like a bubble wobbling slowly to the surface of my troubled mind before bursting into an array of discombobulation.

My feelings churn as waves upon the sand, oscillating between plausible theories as to the sudden unexplained outcome of such an event.

How could you think me an easy fool, to do such a debauched deed, with only being shortly acquainted?

The fruit, forbidden, tantalizes the lips of the lover, yet unripe it leaves the tongue bitter. Matured fruit is all the more desired, to be able to indulge in that delicate ripe flesh is given only by time.

But you, a berserk boy, fueled by testosterone in your loins, couldn’t grasp that concept through your densely stolid skull. I laugh at your pathetic conduct, to think that I would cast my precious pearls among swine!

And then to leave me in the dust, after you tried prying at my guarded walls, practicing your cunning persuasion, well fox, I am no crow! Your tricks are for amateurs. Unknowingly you were up against a sagacious warrior, I proudly display my battle scars from love’s cruel war.

If you can call it love,

Think of it as a fragile rose,

Deep red with passion,

Sultry with the swift limbs

And fresh young dew on the petals

Bitter yet sweet,

Hah,

Young love?

Yeah, I guess

Pull the petals gently,

Grasp it deftly,

For a thorn can disguise itself well

A wolf named Desire lives in each of usIn some people, a lively and well-fed companionIn others, a nuisance kept chainedMocked, abused, secretly pampered or twisted into a weaponOr walking free, taken for grantedOn one day each year, they are celebratedAnd everyone is urged to feed them

Desire lies within me, caged and starvingSo long hidden some doubt her existenceYearning to be free, to be seenGrowling with hungerI force her to be stillI fear to release herShe would be laughed at, beaten, ignoredOr led, dragging me, to our destructionShe will not eat until another sees herShe claws at her prisonTurns my head away when others’ wolves frolic before meTries desperately to drown herself in sleepBut on this February day each year, she hopes anewTo finally be fed

Every year, it’s the sameShe waits, pacing, golden eyes bright I grip her leash, whisperingThis day is not for you! But she infects my mindHours pass, and we are ignoredShe sprawls, dejected, in her barren penAs night falls and the world reverberatesWith the yips of her lucky liberated sisters and brothersShe snarls at their joyAnd when the day draws to its lonely closeAnd exercise has only sharpened her hunger-painShe raises her copper muzzle to the cold white moonUtters one silent howl of despairCurls in a sullen ballAnd returns to restless hibernation

pouring through my bedroom window,

I watch a galaxy of dust specks, flecks

jumping, and spinning with grace,

in moments of sunbeams and deep breaths--

revolving, daytime constellations:

illuminated worlds, reflecting gold, opal, heliotrope,

dancing toward the sun;

one million microscopic ballerinas pirouette

in pastel tulle prisms, to harp glissandos,

sunlight warm on my face,

diamonds in my eyelashes.

Your rare, mystery-filled eyes

allure me, dear Tara.

I wonder what kind of dyes

Winter, A Love Poem for Two VoicesJILL PIEKUT

Our love is like a snowstorm catastrophic

And it won’t melt ‘til spring maybe

We’re living in an igloo and its warm baby

Our love is like a frozen lake eutrophic

We walk on it with skis well

We slip and slide and keep each other moving or we’ll freeze please

Our love is like February. It never ends. hold me

And when it does we’ll probably still be friends. or it would be awkward

Cause we love winter like we love each other a lot

And we love love like we love being smothered in a snuggie

We love love like we love fire for its warmth honey

We love love like we love brutal winter storms or not

And we love love like we love walking

on the sidewalk

and falling

And dying of exposure cause we’re drunk on each other don’t let that happen

And we didn’t wear a coat cause our skin is getting lighter right?

And even though its 1 AM the stars are bright enough to tan my skin again

And all the stars are bright cause we’re in love. and we turned off the lights
