The CANE (Classical Association of New England) Summer
Institute is an annual week-long seminar, which has been
held at Dartmouth College for the past 25 years. It is a
series of lectures, courses, and special events aimed at
adults interested in the ancient world. This year, the CANE
Summer Institute will take place from July 9-14, and the
theme this is "Beyond Antiquity: The Legacy of the
Classical World". Topics will include the ancient origins
of democracy, the influence of classics on America's
founders, the influence of Greek and Latin literature on
World War I British poets and on the Renaissance, the
Spanish use of Roman models of government in the New World,
and classicizing art and architecture. The faculty is drawn
from senior scholars at outstanding colleges and
universities, who not only teach, but also share a
dormitory and cafeteria with participants, living and
working together in a uniquely collegial and stimulating
atmosphere.
CSI has a double mission. We aim to make classical studies
available to the general public, both to provide personal
enrichment and to promote the classics in the cultural life
of our communities. We also aim to provide teachers of the
humanities with material and insights useful in their
classrooms, and also with the opportunity to study at an
adult level, converse with their colleagues, and refresh
themselves professionally.
Teachers can get CEUs for attending the Institute. This
year, the Rhode Island Humanities Council has provided
scholarships to support Rhode Island teachers including
those in related humanities disciplines, like English,
History, Art and Social Studies. The Institute is a bargain
even without the scholarship, at $485 for room, board and
tuition for the week; but the generosity humanities council
will make it possible for several teachers to attend almost
for free. Those interested in scholarships should contact
Ellen Perry at [email removed].
Much more information and registration forms are available
about the program at

Hi,
I am a science teacher who's eligible for RI certification
and am waiting on the RIDOE to approve me. Meanwhile, where
should I look for a science position in RI? I am checking
the Pro. Journal but am not coming up with much.
Thanks,

Injured teacher sues over assault
Register Staff
NEW HAVEN — Anthony Caprio says he is seeking justice
because of injuries he suffered when he came between two
angry Hillhouse High School students, but he also is
advocating better protection for teachers, including
substitutes.
Caprio alleges in a civil lawsuit that he was seriously
injured when he tried to break up a dispute between two
female teens in a corridor of the high school in May 2006
Caprio, who was there as a substitute teacher, who was a
prominate business owner who was "subbing" for no other
reason to save money for his upcomming marriage; filed the
civil lawsuit against the New Haven Board of Education and
the city of New Haven. He is seeking more than $15,000 in
damages for alleged pain, suffering, emotional distress
and loss of income.
But Caprio also wants state legislators to pass a law that
would require people who assault any school personnel,
including substitute teachers, be charged with a felony.
This concept has yet to win broad support. According to
state Rep. Paul Davis, D-Orange, bills he co-sponsored to
increase penalties for assailants of school athletic
officials and other certified school personnel (not
including substitute teachers) have failed to win enough
votes to make it through both legislative chambers during
the past three years.
The House passed the bill in 2006.
Caprio said the more that people like him publicize their
situation, "the more light will be shed on the problems of
student violence against teachers in our schools."
Although New Haven schools spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-
DeCarlo said, "the city is paying for (Caprio's) physical
therapy," Caprio said it paid only for his initial
treatment and initial physical therapy. He said he faces
neck and hand surgery.
According to Sullivan-DeCarlo, the school board "has met
its statutory obligations related to this claim and has
accepted the injury under workers' compensation, which is
the appropriate and exclusive forum."
She said that after several hearings at the district
workers' compensation office, the Workers' Compensation
Commission terminated temporary total benefits because of
evidence Caprio is capable of working.
"The (school) board denies the allegations raised in the
civil complaint," Sullivan-DeCarlo added. "These claims
are unfounded."
The civil dispute stems from the hallway fight, during
which a 17-year-old student allegedly attacked Caprio when
he unsuccessfully tried to stop the argument between that
girl and another student.
According to Caprio's writ, filed in New Haven Superior
Court by attorney Patricia Cofrancesco, Caprio "was
assaulted by a student who thrust herself toward the
plaintiff, grabbed him by both shoulders, and violently
pushed him to the ground, causing the plaintiff to
forcefully strike his head and the entire right side of
his body on the tile floor."
This allegedly caused Caprio severe physical injuries,
including a dislocated right eye lens, sprained wrist,
post-traumatic carpel tunnel syndrome, right elbow double
crush syndrome, disk bulges and right shoulder asymmetry.
Additional repercussions listed in the writ are "anxiety,
pain and suffering and emotional distress," as well as
lost work time. Caprio, a 32-year-old resident, is a vocal
coach and talent representative. He owns Premier Talent
Group.
Caprio contrasts his after-effects with that of his
assailant, who reportedly pleaded guilty to breach of
peace, a misdemeanor, and received a suspended sentence of
three months.
When asked for confirmation, clerks for Superior Court
said the student's record had been sealed by statute or
court order.
Sullivan-DeCarlo said the student was suspended from
school for five days.
Caprio's writ says the school board is required by state
law to compensate him for all his financial losses
resulting from the hallway encounter.
Caprio maintains workers' compensation is not sufficient
to pay him back for his losses.
Caprio, who said he will never again teach anywhere
because of this experience, asserted he would not have
filed the lawsuit if school officials had communicated
with him after the hallway fight.
