SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Judy Shuler @ Lakewood Library
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, October 8th at 5 PM\, local author Judy Shuler will be sharing from her book The Nazi’s Daughter\, a story of unasked questions\, secrets\, and a lifetime of guilt. Although written as a novella\, The Nazi’s Daughter is based on the lived experiences of personal acquaintances. \nJudy began her writing career as a newspaper staff writer\, and much of her work has been nonfiction. Rather than following one particular theme\, her books explore subjects that hold personal meaning for her. Three years ago\, she began writing a daily haiku and posting it to a blog as a way to stay accountable. The practice quickly became a lasting part of her writing life\, and she continues it today. She is currently working on a follow-up haiku collection\, Porch Haiku: Four Seasons Along the Inland Sea.

SUMMARY:Author Visit with Paul Leone - The Marlow Murder
DESCRIPTION:The Marlow Murder \nThe latest publication from Chautauqua Region Press\, The Marlow Murder reproduces the Jamestown Journal’s detailed coverage of the arrest\, trial\, conviction and execution in 1872 of the Jamestown Brewery proprietor Charles Marlow. Marlow murdered German immigrant William Bachman on the brewery’s premises in August 1871. The grisly murder included the burning of Bachman’s body in the brewery’s furnace. Celebrated Jamestown attorney Porter Sheldon defended Marlow through court proceedings. The testimony of the lengthy schedule of witnesses illuminates the demographics of the Chautauqua County community at the time. Local history enthusiasts will appreciate the description of the county’s physical Victorian attributes. Author Paul Leone has included additional historical information beyond the scope of the Journal’s reporting.

SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: Who Belongs in America?
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs in America? And who decides? \nFrom Ellis Island to today’s debates over immigration and citizenship\, questions of inclusion and exclusion have long shaped the nation’s identity. Inspired by Korematsu v. United States\, this program explores how fear\, race\, and national security have influenced who is recognized as fully “American.” In his dissent\, Robert H. Jackson warned of the dangers of allowing racial discrimination under the Constitution. Join us for a timely conversation on citizenship\, national identity\, and the constitutional boundaries of belonging. \nThis lecture is part of our 25 Years of Asking Questions lecture series. We are thankful to the Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union for sponsoring this series. Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union\, supporting individuals and organizations who also impact\, empower\, and achieve within our community. \nAbout the Speaker \nRobert L.
