The Politics of Immigration, Labor and Food
Presented on January 29, 2010
Paul Apostolidis, Judge and Mrs. Timothy A. Paul Chair of Political Science, Whitman College
Mexican immigrants have endured both physical and emotional trauma to cross the border into the United States, only to find themselves working in some of America’s most dangerous industries, like meatpacking.
On January 29, Paul Apostolidis will examine American immigration reform through the stories of immigrant meatpackers. He will explain how these immigrants protected themselves during hazardous factory work, how they democratized their union, and how, in partnership with local consumers concerned about food safety, they made the slaughterhouse safer for workers and consumers alike.
Apostolidis will argue that immigration reform should not only give immigrants new rights to reside here, but should also recognize the unique abilities of immigrants to strengthen American democracy and develop creative solutions to social problems that intertwine the fates of all.
Paul Apostolidis holds the Judge & Mrs. Timothy A. Paul Chair of Political Science at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. He is the author of Breaks in the Chain: What Immigrant Workers Can Teach Americans about Democracy.
VOA Special English - Studying in America - 11 - Application Process
Thanks to manythings.org for audio/text
This is the VOA Special English EDUCATION REPORT.
This week in our Foreign Student Series, we talk about applying to an American college or university. International admissions officers advise students to apply to at least 3 schools. You may be able to apply online and pay the application charge with a credit card, or by mail.
You should study the Web sites of schools that interest you. You can find information about how and when to apply, how much it will cost and whether any financial aid is available. And you can probably e-mail the admissions office with any questions.
At Whitman College, the admissions Web site has an area where people can send questions to current international students. Whitman is a small private college in Walla Walla, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest. It has about 1500 students. 52 of them this year are international students from more than 30 countries.
By comparison, almost 4000 international students from more than 100 countries are at Ohio State University. Ohio State is in the Midwest, in the city of Columbus, Ohio, and is one of the largest universities in the United States. It has more than 52,000 students.
Wherever you apply, you should start the application process at least 2 years before you want to begin your studies. Completing the applications and any required admissions tests will take time. Non-native English speakers will most likely have to take the TOEFL, the Test of English as a Foreign Language. We will be discussing the TOEFL and other tests in the coming weeks.
So far in our series, we talked about choosing schools. We suggested getting help at the nearest Educational Advising Center. The State Department has advising centers around the world.
We also talked about online education programs and subjects like accreditation and diploma mills. And we talked about student visas and the job of SEVIS. SEVIS is the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System operated by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Next week will be part 12 of our Foreign Student Series. If you missed any, our series is online with transcripts, MP3s and helpful links at voaspecialenglish.com. You can also send us e-mail through the site. Or write to special@voanews.com, and be sure to include your name and tell us where you are.
And that's the VOA Special English EDUCATION REPORT, written by Nancy Steinbach. I'm Steve Ember.
Brief haunted house tour - Whitman Baker Faculty House
When in Walla Walla, we were told about this inexpensive room for rent on campus for employees. Little did we know it was a small room in a 5,000 + sq ft mansion built in the 1800s. It was empty, except for us and whatever was behind the countless locked doors and black basement.
May look harmless during the daytime, but imagine in at night, by yourself....

Morrison Lane Vineyards, Walla Walla, WA
The Walla Walla Valley has often been called the next Napa Valley, and for good reason. This is a place winemakers from around the world are coming to start the next generation of legendary wineries. Despite this growth, most wineries remain small, family-run operations. When visiting the wineries, you often get the chance to talk directly with the winemakers and learn what makes Walla Walla Valley wine so special.
A For the Morrison family, farming, viticulture and winemaking in the Walla Walla Valley is a four-generation tradition. Established in 1918 by Billy Morrison, this family farm was left to Walter Morrison after his fathers passing in the 1930s. Taking over the family farm at the age of 18 along with two brothers and one sister, Walter began his career of growing pretty much any row crop grown in the valley.
Dean and Verdie Morrison planted their first four acres of Syrah just outside Walla Walla in 1994. The original Vineyard has grown to 28 acres and the dazzling array of varietals produced makes it one of the most eclectic in the state. More than half of acreages is devoted to Syrah; also included in the rest of mix are Viognier, Cinsault, Carmenère, Counoise, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Barbera. An additional 5 acreages non-contiguous is being leased. That plots one of the highest in Walla Walla at 1800 feet.
Morrison grapes were a hot commodity from the wineries first harvest. Among the wineries that lined up to purchase they were Seven Hills, Cayuse, K Vintners, and Walla Walla Vintners. The winemaker for Morison Lane is son Sean Morrison who is also the cellar master at Abeja. Estate grapes are used almost exclusively; a couple of Columbia Valley wines were made in 2004 when the estate Vineyard was frozen out. The varies wines show clear varietal identifiers, and such unusual as the Morrison Lane Dolcetto, Cinsault, and Counoise is varietal bottling are especial interesting as is the 33 1/3 (Syrah, Counoise and Viognier). Morrison Lane wines can be somewhat difficult to find. Produced is about 1200 cases annually largely sold out in the testing room.
The multi-talented Morrison's are a musical family well. Dean on stand-up bass, Verdie on piano, Sean guitar. Their main testing room is often the setting for some excellent jazz jams.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Washington ( (listen)), officially the State of Washington, is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Named for George Washington, the first president of the United States, the state was made out of the western part of the Washington Territory, which was ceded by Britain in 1846 in accordance with the Oregon Treaty in the settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute. It was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. Olympia is the state capital; the state's largest city is Seattle. Washington is sometimes referred to as Washington State, to distinguish it from Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, which is often shortened to Washington or just D.C.
Washington is the 18th largest state, with an area of 71,362 square miles (184,827 km2), and the 13th most populous state, with more than 7.4 million people. Approximately 60 percent of Washington's residents live in the Seattle metropolitan area, the center of transportation, business, and industry along Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean consisting of numerous islands, deep fjords, and bays carved out by glaciers. The remainder of the state consists of: deep temperate rainforests in the west; mountain ranges in the west, central, northeast, and far southeast; and a semi-arid basin region in the east, central, and south, given over to intensive agriculture. Washington is the second most populous state on the West Coast and in the Western United States, after California. Mount Rainier, an active stratovolcano, is the state's highest elevation, at almost 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), and is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States.
Washington is a leading lumber producer. Its rugged surface is rich in stands of Douglas fir, hemlock, ponderosa pine, white pine, spruce, larch, and cedar. The state is the biggest producer of apples, hops, pears, red raspberries, spearmint oil, and sweet cherries, and ranks high in the production of apricots, asparagus, dry edible peas, grapes, lentils, peppermint oil, and potatoes. Livestock and livestock products make important contributions to total farm revenue, and the commercial fishing of salmon, halibut, and bottomfish makes a significant contribution to the state's economy. Washington ranks second only to California in the production of wine.
Manufacturing industries in Washington include aircraft and missiles, ship-building, and other transportation equipment, lumber, food processing, metals and metal products, chemicals, and machinery. Washington has over 1,000 dams, including the Grand Coulee Dam, built for a variety of purposes, including irrigation, power, flood control, and water storage.
Washington is one of the wealthiest and most liberally progressive states in the country. The state consistently ranks among the best for life expectancy, low unemployment, and degrees of freedom for minorities. Along with Colorado, Washington was one of the first to legalize medicinal and recreational cannabis, was among the first thirty-six states to legalize same-sex marriage, doing so in 2012, and was one of only four U.S. states to have been providing legal abortions on request before the 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade loosened federal abortion laws. Similarly, Washington voters approved a 2008 referendum on legalization of physician-assisted suicide, and is currently only one of five states, along with Oregon, California, Colorado and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia to have legalized the practice. The state is also one of eight in the country to have criminalized the sale, possession and transfer of bump stocks, with California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Maryland, and Massachusetts also having banned these devices.
