A celebration of this his<strong>to</strong>rical event,<br />
along with a reenactment of The Gr<strong>and</strong><br />
Review, will serve as a commemoration<br />
of the November 1865 event <strong>and</strong> its<br />
planning, involving tens of scores<br />

has become a gateway <strong>to</strong> learn <strong>and</strong><br />
grow through a personal encounter<br />

his<strong>to</strong>ric gathering as the first of many<br />
commemorations inaugurating Civil<br />
War 150. The commemoration of the<br />
Gr<strong>and</strong> Review has actually become a<br />
year-long event including exhibitions,<br />
presentations, <strong>and</strong> conservation<br />
projects that have revealed the hidden<br />
his<strong>to</strong>ries of the U.S.C.T. The effort<br />
continues <strong>to</strong> build <strong>and</strong> will culminate<br />
in the four-day extravaganza being<br />
held from Thursday November 4 <strong>to</strong><br />
Sunday, November 7, 2010.<br />
This long weekend of celebration,<br />
heritage <strong>and</strong> living his<strong>to</strong>ry in the<br />
heart of down<strong>to</strong>wn Harrisburg<br />
comes, in fact, during the time that<br />
Harrisburg is celebrating its 150th<br />

Penn State York Offers New Slate of OLLI Courses<br />
The Gilded Age: 1870-1910 is<br />
just one of the many courses<br />
that get underway the week of<br />
Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 4 as part of the fall classes<br />
offered through the Osher Lifelong<br />
Learning Institute (OLLI) at Penn State<br />
York. For adults who never want <strong>to</strong><br />
s<strong>to</strong>p experiencing life <strong>and</strong> learning,<br />
OLLI offers courses of interest during<br />
the day without the stress of tests,<br />
requirements, <strong>and</strong> official textbooks.<br />
OLLI began offering courses in<br />
April 2008 <strong>and</strong> since that time the<br />
organization has grown <strong>to</strong> more than<br />
250 members with a variety of daytime<br />
courses, bus trips, walking <strong>to</strong>urs, <strong>and</strong><br />
lunchtime learning sessions.<br />
Molly Dallmeyer, a York native <strong>and</strong><br />
a high school social studies teacher in<br />
the Dallas<strong>to</strong>wn Area School District, is<br />
the course instruc<strong>to</strong>r for The Guilded<br />
Age: 1870-1910. Dallmeyer will take<br />
students on a journey through his<strong>to</strong>ry<br />
during a time when America was<br />
experiencing phenomenal growth<br />
in many areas. Throughout the sixweek<br />
course a variety of questions<br />
will be answered. How did the places,<br />
people <strong>and</strong> events mold our country<br />
in<strong>to</strong> a world power? What events<br />
dramatically changed the course of<br />
his<strong>to</strong>ry for our country? Who was<br />
important in shaping those events?<br />
Why is this time period so crucial <strong>to</strong> our<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ing in the world <strong>to</strong>day? Classes<br />
will explore <strong>to</strong>pics on immigration,<br />
reform, Jim Crow, American education,<br />
popular culture <strong>and</strong> entertainment,<br />
the presidents, politics <strong>and</strong> the world<br />
stage. The course will also cover<br />
westward expansion, the “Splendid<br />
Little War,” working conditions, <strong>and</strong><br />
leisure time more than 100 years ago.<br />
This isn’t Dallmeyer’s first time<br />
teaching for OLLI, she has taught<br />
courses on the Holocaust years (1933-<br />
1945), The Rise of Nazi Germany (1920-<br />
1945), <strong>and</strong> also a course on Great<br />
Americans. When she first volunteered<br />
<strong>to</strong> teach for OLLI, Dallmeyer was a stay<br />
at home mother who had resigned<br />
from her teaching career <strong>to</strong> raise her<br />
children. Becoming a part of OLLI was<br />
not something she planned.<br />
“I received the flyer in the mail about<br />
OLLI courses, <strong>and</strong> noticed that they<br />
were presenting a course on Gettysburg<br />
<strong>and</strong> since I had been a former high<br />
school social studies teacher, that <strong>to</strong>pic<br />
was right up my alley. I had <strong>to</strong> find a<br />
way <strong>to</strong> take this course, <strong>and</strong> it fit my<br />
schedule; my daughter was in school<br />
by that time, <strong>and</strong> my son would be in<br />
pre-school for a few hours. I figured,<br />
a two- hour class, for six weeks, on<br />
a <strong>to</strong>pic that I wanted <strong>to</strong> know more<br />
about, without homework or tests, <strong>and</strong><br />
right in my own backyard was just<br />
perfect,” said Dallmeyer.<br />
Her only concern was that she<br />
thought OLLI was a program just for<br />
retired people. Luckily, Dallmeyer<br />
decided <strong>to</strong> take the plunge <strong>and</strong> attend<br />
the course taught by Tom Schaeffer, a<br />
Molly Dallmeyer, center, an instruc<strong>to</strong>r for OLLI, shares<br />
some course materials with Berry Wills, left, <strong>and</strong> Linda<br />
Glassmeyer, right, members of OLLI at Penn State York.<br />
local his<strong>to</strong>rian. Through that course<br />
she a met a number of OLLI board<br />
members who convinced her <strong>to</strong> teach<br />
a course <strong>and</strong> she has been involved<br />
since that time.<br />
Dallmeyer shares that there’s an<br />
advantage <strong>to</strong> taking OLLI courses for<br />
students <strong>and</strong> teachers alike. For her,<br />
OLLI courses are so enjoyable <strong>to</strong> teach<br />
because the students in the class want<br />
<strong>to</strong> be there <strong>and</strong> have a genuine interest<br />
in learning something new. It’s not like<br />
courses you teach <strong>to</strong> students who are<br />
required <strong>to</strong> be there <strong>and</strong> may not really<br />
want <strong>to</strong> learn.<br />
“OLLI students have a wealth of<br />
knowledge about so many things<br />
other than the <strong>to</strong>pics we focus on<br />
in class. My students include career<br />
lawyers, mechanics, school teachers,<br />
homemakers <strong>and</strong> the like, who all<br />
have life experiences <strong>to</strong> offer. Many of<br />
these adults have become my friends<br />
outside of the classroom, <strong>and</strong> have<br />
assisted my work with my high school<br />
students. It is so rewarding <strong>to</strong> st<strong>and</strong> in<br />
front of these people for six weeks <strong>and</strong><br />
share what I know,” said Dallmeyer.<br />
OLLI has a $50 yearly membership<br />
fee that covers two semesters <strong>and</strong> a $20<br />
fee for each course taken. OLLI courses<br />
are taught by volunteers who want<br />
<strong>to</strong> share their expertise <strong>and</strong> talents<br />
including college faculty members,<br />
hobbyists, artists, schoolteachers,<br />
<strong>and</strong> practicing professionals. The sixweek<br />
classes are offered during the<br />
day <strong>and</strong> are 90 minutes in length with<br />
most meeting on the Penn State York<br />
campus. There are also a number of<br />
short courses <strong>and</strong> other programs.<br />

Art <strong>and</strong> Music In <strong>and</strong> Around the Hanover Area By<br />
Dee Garber, Pho<strong>to</strong>s Submitted<br />
The days of summer fun are over<br />
<strong>and</strong> everyone is getting back <strong>to</strong> the<br />
“fall of things....”<br />
With gladness we remember that<br />
“The Arts <strong>and</strong> Music” are always<br />
alive within us. I could not imagine<br />
life without them. There’s plenty of<br />
inspiration around us <strong>and</strong> all we have<br />
<strong>to</strong> do is engage in the bounty.<br />
Meet Me<br />
in Hanover<br />
The Arts<br />
Artist Millie Noback focuses on her<br />
progression as an artist. Her September<br />
show “Evolution” is made up of mostly<br />
abstract art using watercolor, acrylic,<br />
ink on Yupo. Her inspiration comes<br />
from her feelings, an emotional place in<br />
her imagination she is exploring during<br />
her work. Everyone is invited <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p<br />
by the Artist Reception on Saturday,<br />
September 11 from 1 <strong>to</strong> 4 p.m.<br />
The exhibition takes place at the<br />
Hanover Area Arts Guild Gallery, 32<br />

2 nd Floor Gallery of the Main Building<br />
of Cross Keys Village. Dan has painted<br />

throughout his life, he tells the visi<strong>to</strong>r.<br />
Painting by Dan Hendrix<br />
Currently, the majority of his work is<br />
acrylic on board. Some of Dan’s largest<br />
work can be at outdoor sites in <strong>and</strong><br />
around <strong>Do</strong>wn<strong>to</strong>wn York in the form of<br />
murals. His was the first in the York<br />
Murals, Inc. program, a terrific series<br />
of painting that tells the s<strong>to</strong>ry of York<br />
<strong>and</strong> its workers as well as its dreamers<br />
<strong>and</strong> inven<strong>to</strong>rs. Smaller works that Dan<br />
has completed hang in many private<br />
<strong>and</strong> corporate collections.<br />
“I agree with the principle of less is<br />
more.” Dan says, “the less I say about my<br />
work, the more each viewer can reach<br />
his or her own conclusion. All that I ask<br />
is that one just looks. Just look.”<br />

The Folk Trio Red Molly Returns <strong>to</strong> Harrisburg<br />
on September 15 By Jess Hayden<br />
Music Soothes, Music Heals<br />
Harrisburg – Red Molly, the all-girl folk/bluegrass b<strong>and</strong> known for<br />
their lush harmonies, stellar songwriting <strong>and</strong> dynamic stage presence,<br />
pays a return visit <strong>to</strong> the region on Wednesday, September 15. They<br />
will perform at the Stage on Herr, Harrisburg’s newest stage <strong>and</strong> bar.<br />
According <strong>to</strong> co-owner John Traylor, this venue is perfect for groups<br />
like Red Molly because it offers the audience an intimate “listening<br />
room” experience not replicated anywhere else in the area.<br />
The trio fist came <strong>to</strong>gether during the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk<br />
Festival in New York state where its members discovered a mutual love<br />
of country, bluegrass <strong>and</strong> old-time gospel during a late-night jam. Over<br />
the past six years Red Molly’s popularity has skyrocketed; netting them<br />
appearances at major festivals throughout the United States, a feature<br />
in Sing Out! magazine <strong>and</strong> several #1 songs on the Folk DJ chart.<br />
Fans attending the concert may notice a new face in the b<strong>and</strong>. Last<br />
July long-time b<strong>and</strong> member Carolann Solebello left the group <strong>to</strong><br />
pursue a solo career <strong>and</strong> spend more time with her family. After an<br />
extensive search for a replacement the two remaining members, Abbie<br />
Gardner <strong>and</strong> Laurie MacAllister, settled on Austin-based musician<br />
Molly Venter. The newest “Molly” brings strong songwriting skills <strong>and</strong><br />
an exciting modern musical sensibility <strong>to</strong> the group. The trio has been<br />
busy co-writing <strong>to</strong>gether for the first time (aided by the ease of sending<br />
MP3s back <strong>and</strong> forth over the Internet), reinventing fan favorites, <strong>and</strong><br />
learning new songs. “This is an exciting time for the b<strong>and</strong>; we’re so<br />
thrilled that Molly has joined us”, says MacAlllister. Gardner adds, “We<br />
couldn’t have even hoped for a more perfect fit.”<br />
This is Red Molly’s fourth visit <strong>to</strong> the Harrisburg region. Previously<br />
they played in a collaborative concert with the Susquehanna Folk<br />
Music Society at several locales, including the Dauphin County’s<br />
Sunset Series at Fort Hunter Park <strong>and</strong> for Harrisburg City’s Italian Lake<br />
Concert Series<br />
Red Molly, seen here, returns <strong>to</strong> Harrisburg Wednesday, September 15.<br />

Classical Music, 1750 – 1810 By Karen Wix<br />
We have now arrived at the era that<br />
can truly be called the “classical” age of<br />
music. As we have learned the wealthy,<br />
the church <strong>and</strong> the cultured elite<br />
were the main support of the musical<br />
institutions until the mid eighteenth<br />
century. During the Baroque period<br />
composers <strong>and</strong> musicians usually had<br />
fixed appointments with a particular<br />
city, church or court. By the time<br />
Haydn, Mozart <strong>and</strong> Beethoven came<br />
along there was a thriving middle<br />
class that was eager <strong>to</strong> attend public<br />
concerts <strong>and</strong> they were happy <strong>to</strong> pay<br />
for the privilege.<br />
Joseph Haydn started his long <strong>and</strong><br />
illustrious career as the protégé of<br />
the Hungarian, Prince Paul An<strong>to</strong>n<br />
Esterhazy. Spending 30 years refining<br />
his music, he became world famous<br />
even while living a cloistered life on<br />
a remote estate financed by Prince<br />
Paul <strong>and</strong> later the prince’s brother,<br />
Prince Nicholas. The Princes afforded<br />
Haydn the time <strong>and</strong> money <strong>to</strong> flesh<br />
out what would eventually become<br />
<strong>to</strong>day’s symphony orchestra. The<br />
Principality became the center of<br />
culture in Hungary <strong>and</strong> rivaled all<br />
the great courts of Europe. Haydn<br />
finally left <strong>to</strong> emerge in<strong>to</strong> the real<br />
world in 1791 <strong>and</strong> was able <strong>to</strong><br />
support himself by selling his music,<br />
something that most musicians who<br />
were supported by a third party<br />
were not allowed <strong>to</strong> do.<br />
The symphony really began with the<br />
Italian opera of the Baroque period.<br />
In the mid 18th century it became<br />
common <strong>to</strong> stage short musical pieces<br />
<strong>to</strong> introduce operas….these were called<br />
overtures. Generally, the overtures had<br />
three quite distinct sections, a slow<br />
movement s<strong>and</strong>wiched between two<br />
fast ones. This formed the basis of the<br />
symphony’s structure. Haydn wrote<br />
specifically for these performances<br />
<strong>and</strong> is often called “the father of the<br />
symphony.”<br />
While the late 18th century<br />
symphony orchestra was small by<br />
<strong>to</strong>day’s st<strong>and</strong>ards it was in its makeup<br />
very similar. The string section carried<br />
the music’s theme but as the years<br />
passed horns <strong>and</strong> woodwinds became<br />
a substantial part of the orchestra<br />
which greatly enriched the sound<br />
with ever changing <strong>to</strong>ne colors. In the<br />
h<strong>and</strong>s of Haydn <strong>and</strong> later Mozart the<br />
new sounds came <strong>to</strong> define the sound<br />
of the symphony.<br />
Haydn wrote over 100 symphonies,<br />
Mozart half that number <strong>and</strong> at<br />
the end of the 18th century the two<br />
musical geniuses were joined later by<br />
Ludwig van Beethoven who wrote only<br />
9 symphonies but the subtle changes<br />
that he made in the makeup of music<br />
written as symphonies <strong>and</strong> the drama<br />
<strong>and</strong> power he produced, transformed<br />
the classical symphony in a way that<br />
would dominate for over a century.<br />
The opening of his Fifth Symphony<br />
with its ominous fate motif is perhaps<br />
the best known of all musical passages.<br />
Beethoven is considered the most<br />
crucial figure in the transition between<br />
the Classical <strong>and</strong> Romantic eras of<br />
Western music.<br />
In the early 1780’s Mozart began<br />
writing opera “buffa.” Opera buffa<br />
grew out of the comic intermezzo<br />
performed as a filler between acts<br />
of the primary dramatic opera.<br />
Eventually these pieces joined <strong>and</strong><br />
became two act comedy operas. These<br />
“operas” featured everyday people <strong>and</strong><br />
situations, not the gods <strong>and</strong> heroes<br />
of the earlier compositions. Arguably<br />
Mozart’s most famous opera buffa<br />
is “The Marriage of Figaro.” “<strong>Do</strong>n<br />
Giovanni” <strong>and</strong> “Cosi fan Tutte” are two<br />
other Mozart comic operas that still<br />
enjoy great favor <strong>to</strong>day.<br />
The French Revolution in 1789<br />
began a time when music was used <strong>to</strong><br />
stir patriotic fervor. Marching b<strong>and</strong>s<br />
would march through the streets of<br />
Paris whipping people in<strong>to</strong> frenzy <strong>to</strong><br />
change the way they were ruled. Later<br />
Napoleon used music in the same way.<br />
“La Marseillaise”, the French national<br />
anthem was written in 1792 as a<br />
marching song but soon captured the<br />
imagination of the people that it was<br />
played <strong>and</strong> sung at every opportunity.<br />
In the later 18th century religious<br />
superstition <strong>and</strong> authority gave way<br />
<strong>to</strong> rationality <strong>and</strong> self expression. The<br />
“Enlightenment” as it was called had<br />
an effect on all the arts, in music<br />
it resulted in countless classical<br />
masterpieces <strong>and</strong> the reinvention of<br />
opera. Willibald Gluck, a traditional<br />
llllllll<br />
<strong>Do</strong> Your Part<br />
For The Arts<br />
opera composer began <strong>to</strong> compose<br />
so-called “reform operas” which<br />
featured women in women’s roles <strong>and</strong><br />
men in men’s roles (what a concept),<br />
before this time castrati were often<br />
cast as women <strong>and</strong> the men’s parts<br />
were often sung in the falset<strong>to</strong> range.<br />
The reform operas became much<br />
more realistic <strong>and</strong> therefore more<br />
acceptable <strong>to</strong> the public. There was a<br />
whole new emphasis on naturalistic<br />
singing <strong>and</strong> acting.<br />
Concert life during the 18th century<br />
reflected the public’s growing taste<br />
for musical entertainment. Because<br />
money was always a concern the<br />
subscription concert was born. It<br />
became common for composers <strong>to</strong> give<br />
concerts of their own music in theaters<br />
<strong>and</strong> other public spaces. Concert<br />
societies were formed <strong>and</strong> concerts<br />
were open <strong>to</strong> anyone who could afford<br />
the entrance fee. Vienna, Paris <strong>and</strong><br />
London were centers of music during<br />
the 18th century. Composers knew<br />
that they could find supporters <strong>and</strong><br />
approving audiences in these cities.<br />
In this atmosphere the classical age<br />
flourished <strong>and</strong> gave us all the music<br />
that we have come <strong>to</strong> love.<br />

Honoring the Past, Honoring the Present<br />
Visit <strong>to</strong> Harpers Ferry Brings Civil War Era Alive<br />
By Ruthe Fortenbaugh Craley; Pho<strong>to</strong>s by Bill Schintz<br />
Meet Me<br />
in Gettysburg<br />
At left is the Engine House where John Brown <strong>and</strong> his men were holed up after the Raid on Harpers Ferry.<br />
Those of us who live in southcentral<br />
Pennsylvania are often so absorbed<br />
in our own local his<strong>to</strong>ry that we<br />
sometimes forget what is “just across<br />
the road.” Often we forget how close<br />
we are <strong>to</strong> the sites of other major <strong>and</strong><br />
significant events. This was certainly in<br />
mind on a recent field trip <strong>to</strong> Harpers<br />
Ferry National His<strong>to</strong>ric Park in nearby<br />
West Virginia.<br />
Harpers Ferry, located at the<br />
confluence of the Po<strong>to</strong>mac <strong>and</strong><br />
Shen<strong>and</strong>oah Rivers at the point<br />
where Pennsylvania, Maryl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
West Virginia borders meet, was the<br />
scene of a raid by John Brown <strong>and</strong><br />
his self-styled “army of liberation” of<br />
twenty-two men, including three of<br />
his sons, in Oc<strong>to</strong>ber of 1859. Brown<br />
anticipated capturing the Federal<br />
Arsenal there with its 100,000 weapons<br />
<strong>and</strong> that this success would begin a<br />
slave insurrection.<br />
However, there was no success <strong>and</strong>,<br />
within a short time, Brown <strong>and</strong> his<br />
men were trapped in an engine house<br />
that has since been res<strong>to</strong>red as John<br />
Brown’s Fort. They were captured by<br />
Confederate troops led by Robert E.<br />
Lee <strong>and</strong> J.E.B. Stuart. Brown was tried<br />
<strong>and</strong> hanged in Charles<strong>to</strong>wn within a<br />
few weeks. Most of his men were killed<br />
but a few escaped. One even returned<br />
<strong>to</strong> Harpers Ferry many years later,<br />
according <strong>to</strong> local newspaper reports.<br />
Another escaped through the forests,<br />
used the network of Underground<br />
Railroad stations <strong>and</strong> was given refuge<br />
in York by William Goodridge as he<br />
made his way <strong>to</strong> Canada <strong>and</strong> safety.<br />
John Brown considered a madman<br />
<strong>and</strong> terrorist by many <strong>and</strong> a God-driven<br />
hero by others devoted his entire life<br />
<strong>and</strong> that of his substantial family (22<br />
children) <strong>to</strong> the slavery issue. His past<br />
record outraged most of the South, <strong>and</strong><br />
yet he found financial support among<br />
many prominent abolitionists in the<br />
North. The shots fired during this event<br />
are regarded by many his<strong>to</strong>rians as the<br />
first of the Civil War.<br />
The buildings that make up the John<br />
Brown s<strong>to</strong>ry are concentrated in the<br />
Lower Town area <strong>and</strong> include several<br />
films, many museums, displays <strong>and</strong><br />
exhibits pertaining <strong>to</strong> the Raid. Parking<br />
is at the Visi<strong>to</strong>r Center, where bus<br />
transportation is available. A fee of $6 per<br />
au<strong>to</strong>mobile is collected at that point.<br />
Shops <strong>and</strong> food venues are scattered<br />
throughout the hills of Lower Town<br />
within easy walking. An excellent<br />
books<strong>to</strong>re is available, <strong>and</strong> restrooms<br />
are conveniently situated on the “main<br />
street.” There are spectacular views of<br />
the mountains <strong>and</strong> rivers here, the<br />
Appalachian Trail crosses the scenic<br />
river bridge at this point <strong>and</strong> notations<br />
about Thomas Jefferson’s visit in the<br />
late 1700s identify this place as one of<br />
the most beautiful in America.<br />
Many programs have been scheduled<br />
in Oc<strong>to</strong>ber <strong>to</strong> recognize the significance<br />
of this compelling event, <strong>and</strong> notably, on<br />
Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 9, from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., there<br />
will be living his<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>and</strong> special programs<br />
entitled “Election Day 1860.” On Oc<strong>to</strong>ber<br />
16 (the day of the Raid) there will be<br />
living his<strong>to</strong>ry presentations entitled “At<br />
All Times Ready: The U.S. Marines” from<br />
11 a.m. until 4 p.m. These programs are<br />
free with the park admission.<br />
It’s an easy drive <strong>to</strong> Harpers Ferry<br />
from almost anywhere in the region<br />
<strong>and</strong> if you head out Route 30, the<br />
Lincoln Highway, between York <strong>and</strong><br />
Gettysburg, follow Route 15 South,<br />
you’ll be there before you know it.<br />

Excellence Rewarded<br />
Glory Shows a Little-Known S<strong>to</strong>ry By Jan Thoman<br />
“We fight for men <strong>and</strong> women whose poetry is not yet written but which will presently be as enviable <strong>and</strong> renowned as any.”<br />
Colonel Robert Gould Shaw 1862<br />
It seems like everyone here at <strong>ShowcaseNow</strong>! is<br />
talking about the Gr<strong>and</strong> Review Week planned for<br />
this coming November in Harrisburg <strong>and</strong> talk of the<br />
United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.) turned my<br />
mind <strong>to</strong> Edward Zwick’s 1989 film, Glory.<br />
This Academy Award winning film (Best Ac<strong>to</strong>r<br />
in a Supporting Role for Denzel Washing<strong>to</strong>n,<br />
Cinema<strong>to</strong>graphy <strong>and</strong> Best Sound) tells the s<strong>to</strong>ry<br />
of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, led by Colonel<br />
Robert Gould Shaw, whose letters form a basis for<br />
the film. Screenwriter Kevin Jarre also based his<br />
screenplay on the books Lay This Laurel by Lincoln<br />
Kirstein <strong>and</strong> One Gallant Rush by Peter Burchard.<br />
The huge cast includes Matthew Broderick as<br />
Colonel Shaw, scion of a wealthy Bos<strong>to</strong>n family<br />
with strong abolitionist leanings; Cary Elwes as<br />
Major Kevin Forbes -- <strong>and</strong> as the four soldiers<br />
whose s<strong>to</strong>ries represent the entire company, Andre<br />
Braugher as Thomas Searles, a childhood friend of<br />
Shaw <strong>and</strong> Forbes; Morgan Freeman as Sgt. Major<br />
Rawlins; Denzel Washing<strong>to</strong>n as the rebellious Trip<br />
<strong>and</strong> Jihmi Kennedy as Sharts.<br />
Broderick is very effective as Shaw, a 27-year old<br />
suddenly given responsibility for making the 54th<br />
in<strong>to</strong> a disciplined army, a job he takes very seriously.<br />
Although it’s rumored in the s<strong>to</strong>ry that the Colored<br />
Troops will only be used as laborers, Shaw insists on<br />
their receiving the proper training. When supplies<br />
are denied his troops, he takes matters in<strong>to</strong> his own<br />
h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>to</strong> get them the shoes they desperately need,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the uniforms that coalesce them in<strong>to</strong> a proud<br />
group of soldiers.<br />
All involved give moving performances, but<br />
whenever Washing<strong>to</strong>n is onscreen he radiates,<br />
first with the force of his anger, then with the fervor of a soldier. His most<br />
moving scene is when, as punishment for “deserting” he’s given 20 lashes.<br />
The looks of horror on the faces of Shaw <strong>and</strong> Forbes when the camera<br />
shows that Trip’s back is already horribly scarred by beatings in the past are<br />
Simple<br />
Pleasures<br />
unforgettable. So are the regret shown when Shaw<br />
orders the punishment <strong>to</strong> continue, <strong>and</strong> finally, the<br />
defiance <strong>and</strong> pride on Trip’s face as he stares in<strong>to</strong><br />
Shaw’s eyes while receiving the beating. I also feel<br />
the scene when he “witnesses” on the night before<br />
battle is moving <strong>and</strong> memorable. Washing<strong>to</strong>n as Trip<br />
has no equal.<br />
The battle scenes are, as with most such scenes,<br />
difficult <strong>to</strong> watch. Contrasting with the violence<br />
is James Horner’s haunting score with the angelic<br />
voices of the Harlem Boy’s Choir rising over the<br />
carnage. The battle that is the climax of the film is<br />
the attempted taking of Fort Wagner.<br />
Even when he is convinced that the casualties will<br />
be tremendous, Shaw volunteers the 54th <strong>to</strong> lead the<br />
charge in<strong>to</strong> the mouths of the cannons <strong>and</strong> artillery<br />
that make the fort impenetrable.<br />
If you decide <strong>to</strong> watch Glory, it would be worth<br />
your while <strong>to</strong> find the 2-disc Special Edition. One of<br />
the special features is an informative documentary<br />
narrated by Morgan Freeman, telling what happens<br />
<strong>to</strong> the remaining men of the 54th after the battle of<br />
Fort Wagner, along with wonderful daguerreotypes<br />
<strong>and</strong> sketches of the men. I highly recommend this<br />
film <strong>to</strong> any student of the Civil War. I think this film<br />
conveys a realistic picture of the time <strong>and</strong> the men<br />
who fought <strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong> reunite this country of ours.<br />

Commemorating 75 years of Commitment<br />
<strong>to</strong> the Community<br />
Mil<strong>to</strong>n Martin <strong>and</strong> his wife, the former Martha<br />
Jane L<strong>and</strong>es, envisioned a free public library for the<br />
community of York. It was brought <strong>to</strong> fruition through<br />
the dedicated efforts of individuals specifically<br />
named by Mil<strong>to</strong>n Martin <strong>to</strong> form the Martin Library<br />
Association. The library held two public gr<strong>and</strong><br />
openings, one on Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 31, <strong>and</strong> the second on<br />
November 2, 1935. The br<strong>and</strong> new collection consisted<br />
of 22,000 books, audio records, <strong>and</strong> pamphlets. Today,<br />
the library houses over 158,000 items <strong>and</strong> nearly<br />
1,400 people pass through its doors every day. “Strong<br />
leadership by the presidents <strong>and</strong> members of the<br />
Martin Library Association has been an integral part<br />
of the library’s success,” reflects Martin Library CEO<br />
Bill Schell. “It is during this 75 th year that we want <strong>to</strong><br />
take time <strong>to</strong> recognize the many dedicated individuals<br />
who have helped our library <strong>to</strong> grow <strong>and</strong> flourish<br />
through their dedicated work.”<br />

Eagle Scout Projects Enhance Library in Adams County By Wilma Kreps<br />
New Oxford – Thomas <strong>Do</strong>wning <strong>and</strong><br />
his family have been members of the<br />
Friends of the New Oxford Area Library<br />
since the library opened its doors in 1983.<br />
Tommy is a graphic artist who loves <strong>to</strong><br />
read. In planning for the renovation of<br />
the library, I knew we would have a large<br />
empty wall in the children’s area. When<br />
Tommy asked what he could do for<br />
the library for his Eagle Scout project,<br />
I had an idea ready. A three-part mural<br />
designed by Tommy would be a great<br />
focal point for this area.<br />
This mural was designed by Tommy,<br />
painted with his scout troop, <strong>and</strong> you<br />
will notice some signatures on a log<br />
on the right-h<strong>and</strong> corner -- these are<br />
some of his helpers from Boy Scout<br />
Troop 85.<br />
This seating area is a gift from the Eagle Scout program.<br />
The Eagle Scout program produced this cheerful mural inside the library.<br />
When you s<strong>to</strong>p at the circulation desk<br />
for assistance, your eyes immediately<br />
go up <strong>to</strong> the back wall of the children’s<br />
area <strong>and</strong> this wonderful artwork.<br />
Tommy painted it in 1999, <strong>and</strong> we hung<br />
it in the children’s area with the Gr<strong>and</strong><br />
Reopening in Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2000.<br />
Jackson is a young man I have known<br />
since he <strong>and</strong> his two brothers were very<br />
young <strong>and</strong> would come <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ry times<br />
with their father. Jackson <strong>and</strong> his family<br />
have been active readers, <strong>and</strong> it has<br />
been a pleasure <strong>to</strong> see how the boys have<br />
grown up the last ten years. He came <strong>to</strong><br />
the desk <strong>and</strong> mentioned he was going<br />
<strong>to</strong> the Borough of New Oxford Council<br />
meeting <strong>to</strong> present plans for a reading<br />
area for the library. I <strong>to</strong>ld him we had<br />
always hoped <strong>to</strong> put a bench out under<br />
the trees that the Friends of the New<br />
Oxford Area Library had planted in the<br />
front of the Borough building. Jackson’s<br />
idea was so much better: two benches<br />
on a brick patio, with a pergola <strong>and</strong><br />
some bushes <strong>and</strong> flowers. Eagle Scouts<br />
also ask local businesses for donations<br />
<strong>to</strong> assist in their projects.<br />
This library, at 122 North Peter Street,<br />
New Oxford, has always had Boy Scouts<br />
<strong>and</strong> Girl Scouts working with us or<br />
joining us for programs since it began.<br />
I have had sleepovers in the library<br />
<strong>and</strong> computer classes with several Girl<br />
Scout Troops. I have had Boy Scouts<br />
participate in game nights as well as<br />
assisting the Friends in the Yard Sale<br />
activities at the New Oxford Social <strong>and</strong><br />
Athletic Club Pavilion in New Oxford.<br />
These two Eagle Scouts have had an<br />
important visible impact with our<br />
patrons <strong>and</strong> the community. Patrons<br />
praise the new reading area <strong>and</strong> salute<br />
the New Oxford Borough Council for<br />
approving this project. Call 717-624-<br />
2182 for further information on New<br />
Oxford Area Library activities <strong>and</strong><br />
programs or go <strong>to</strong> www.adamslibrary.<br />

One Book for the Whole Region <strong>to</strong> Read! by Karen Hostetter<br />
Take a break, have a cup of tea, <strong>and</strong> enjoy reading about some upcoming <strong>and</strong> newsworthy library events below.<br />
I am so happy now that we have<br />
announced the selection of the 2010<br />
One Book title. As the book launch<br />
news conference drew near in late<br />
August, it became harder for me <strong>to</strong><br />
keep mum about the title chosen.<br />
Since January, I have been working on<br />
the regional steering committee that<br />
plans <strong>and</strong> promotes the project.<br />
Now I can talk about the book <strong>and</strong><br />
share how I came <strong>to</strong> enjoy The Book<br />
Thief by Markus Zusak. Since I am<br />
in my car a lot as I now work at three<br />
library locations, I first checked out<br />
the audio book. The reader spoke with<br />
a German accent <strong>and</strong> I immediately<br />
felt like I was transported <strong>to</strong> Germany<br />
in the early days of World War II. But it<br />
really isn’t a war s<strong>to</strong>ry – it’s more of a<br />
family s<strong>to</strong>ry - about good people who<br />
are caught in a very bad situation.<br />
Nazi Germany was not full of Nazi<br />
sympathizers <strong>and</strong> I never realized<br />
that until I read this fictional tale<br />
that represents the s<strong>to</strong>ry of brave<br />
people who saw their neighbors lose<br />
everything -- their jobs, their homes,<br />
<strong>and</strong> then their very existence. Some<br />
had friends, neighbors or relatives<br />
that were brave enough <strong>to</strong> help those<br />
in trouble.<br />
Filbert the Flamingo from Isaac’s Restaurant <strong>and</strong> Deli <strong>and</strong> Anne Shannon, WGAL news personality, reveal the<br />
2010 One Book, One Community title <strong>to</strong> attendees at Fredricksen Library in Camp Hill, Cumberl<strong>and</strong> County.<br />
Library<br />
Chat<br />
on September 9, all 20 Isaac’s locations<br />
will offer a community night fundraiser<br />
<strong>to</strong> support One Book, One Community.<br />
Additionally, Isaac’s provides a buyone-<br />
get- one-free coupon that can be<br />
used anytime throughout the reading<br />
campaign. Why not plan a meal out <strong>and</strong><br />
meet at your local Isaac’s? Special thanks<br />
<strong>to</strong> Johnny Roberts for coordinating the<br />
One Book presence in each of the Isaac’s<br />
locations <strong>and</strong> for bringing our new<br />
friend, Filbert, our favorite flamingo, <strong>to</strong><br />
the Book Launch.<br />
Linda Shorey should be a librarian<br />
in another lifetime. She works for K &<br />
L Gates, a Harrisburg legal firm, in the<br />
daytime but as a valued member of the<br />
selection committee, she reads every<br />
book that is considered for inclusion in<br />
the One Book initiative. We are grateful<br />
for Linda’s dedication <strong>and</strong> thank K & L<br />
Gates for supporting both Linda <strong>and</strong><br />
the One Book effort.<br />
Glatfelter, a local paper company,<br />
makes paper for books. When the<br />
company first became a sponsor in<br />
2005, I hoped that the book we chose<br />
was printed on Glatfelter paper. It<br />
was not, but the company’s mission<br />
included serving adults, as well as<br />
their employees, in a community-wide<br />
literacy project. Glatfelter provides 100<br />
outreach copies of the book that are<br />
distributed <strong>to</strong> community partners in<br />
each of our counties.<br />
M. Clare Zales, Deputy Secretary, Pennsylvania<br />
Department of Education, Office of Commonwealth<br />
Libraries, announced that library staff at the State<br />
Library <strong>and</strong> the Bureau of Library Development<br />
will read <strong>and</strong> discuss The Book Thief along with<br />
libraries in Central Pennsylvania. Ms. Zales added<br />
that Commonwealth Libraries plans <strong>to</strong> continue<br />
the staff reading initiative annually.<br />
The book is narrated by Death, a<br />
strange concept for me <strong>to</strong> grasp until I<br />
found that Death, as presented by the<br />
author, was not morbid but actually very<br />
sympathetic <strong>and</strong> cared deeply for the<br />
souls that he gathered. The author weaves<br />
this character throughout the book as if<br />
he were the narra<strong>to</strong>r of a documentary.<br />
When I finished listening <strong>to</strong> the audio<br />
book, I shared some of my thoughts with<br />
another librarian <strong>and</strong> she said, “…but if<br />
you only listen <strong>to</strong> the book, you can’t<br />
see the pictures”. So next I checked out<br />
the book <strong>and</strong> I agree that it is important<br />
<strong>to</strong> see the h<strong>and</strong>-drawn pictures that<br />
were created by Max, the Jew hidden in<br />
the basement by the Huberman family.<br />
That’s enough. I don’t want <strong>to</strong> tell you<br />
anymore until you have read the book.<br />
There will be plenty of time for book<br />
talks <strong>and</strong> other related programs later.<br />
Sponsors Make it All Possible<br />
I need <strong>to</strong> emphasize the importance<br />
of our dedicated sponsors <strong>to</strong> this<br />

runs smoothly during the book<br />
announcement each year. The WGAL<br />

website at OBOC.org.<br />
Wade Fowler is chairman of the<br />
Robert H. & Beverly Utley Fowler<br />
Foundation. Wade’s mother, Beverly,<br />
has been a contributing member of<br />
the One Book selection committee<br />
for many years. It was heartwarming<br />
<strong>to</strong> read Wade’s comments that<br />
accompanied the Foundation’s check<br />
this year. In part, it said, “the premise<br />
of the program, engaging readers in<br />
Central Pennsylvania in thoughtful<br />
reflection on literature, continues <strong>to</strong><br />
garner our admiration <strong>and</strong> support.”<br />
It makes all the hard work worthwhile<br />
<strong>to</strong> know that a contribu<strong>to</strong>r believes in<br />
what you are trying <strong>to</strong> accomplish.<br />
Joe Murphy from Harrisburg News<br />
Company is a man with a vast knowledge<br />
of the book industry. It’s his business <strong>and</strong><br />
he facilitates our libraries <strong>to</strong> acquire the<br />
books <strong>and</strong> receive a co-op back from the<br />
publisher that helps us <strong>to</strong> continue One<br />
Book projects. Additionally, Joe serves<br />
on both the selection committee <strong>and</strong><br />
the regional steering committee when<br />
time allows. Each year, he distributes<br />
our chosen title <strong>to</strong> many diverse outlets,<br />
including GIANT Food S<strong>to</strong>res, Weis<br />
Markets, <strong>and</strong> Wegman’s. You may also<br />
pick up a copy at one of several airport<br />
book s<strong>to</strong>res. And they all come with our<br />
One Book sticker on the front. How cool<br />
is that? We are almost everywhere.<br />
Encouragement is<br />
Everywhere<br />
Joe also encouraged us by relating<br />
a conversation he had with GIANT<br />
Food S<strong>to</strong>res as he asked the company<br />
<strong>to</strong> come on board as a major sponsor<br />
in 2009. We are grateful for GIANT’s<br />
continued commitment <strong>to</strong> our adult<br />
reading campaign. Books are available<br />
in 50 GIANT locations throughout<br />
Central Pennsylvania.<br />
Isaac’s Restaurant <strong>and</strong> Deli is the<br />
sweetest sponsor that we have. Isaac’s<br />
provides refreshments at the book<br />
announcement news conference –<br />
including delicious sliders, side salads,<br />
pickles, <strong>and</strong> Utz’s natural chips… <strong>and</strong><br />
then <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>p it off they offer their delicious<br />
brownies <strong>and</strong> cookies. If you missed<br />
the brownies at the kick-off, you have<br />
another opportunity <strong>to</strong> taste one by<br />
visiting an area Isaac’s location. In fact,<br />
<strong>ShowcaseNow</strong>! – a Loyal<br />
Supporter<br />
<strong>ShowcaseNow</strong>! magazine is a firm<br />
supporter of One Book <strong>and</strong> our<br />
libraries in many ways. The four page<br />
insert included in this issue is our<br />
program guide. It is the official print<br />
piece where we share information<br />
about the book <strong>and</strong> the author, about<br />
the One Book initiative, <strong>and</strong> where <strong>to</strong><br />
find related programs throughout our<br />
nine counties. So take the insert with<br />
you, or the entire issue, <strong>and</strong> come on<br />
out <strong>and</strong> enjoy the programming.<br />
We offer special thanks <strong>to</strong> publisher<br />
Georg Sheets for including library<br />
s<strong>to</strong>ries in <strong>ShowcaseNow</strong>! all year long.<br />
Georg wears many hats; he’s a full-time<br />
employee of Martin Library in charge<br />
of the Planned Giving effort <strong>and</strong> he is a<br />
writer with a natural love of libraries in<br />
all shapes <strong>and</strong> sizes. Kelly Summerford,<br />
the Chief Operating Manager for<br />
<strong>ShowcaseNow</strong>! also wears many hats:<br />
city councilman, consultant with the<br />
Pennsylvania Council on the Arts <strong>and</strong> a<br />
member of the Pennsylvania Past Players,<br />
among them. They are responsible for<br />
giving me this venue <strong>to</strong> write about<br />
library activities in small, rural libraries<br />
as well as the more visible, busy locations.<br />
We all turn <strong>to</strong> <strong>ShowcaseNow</strong>! <strong>to</strong> know<br />
what’s happening <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong> make choices<br />
of what <strong>to</strong> see <strong>and</strong> do – when we’re not<br />
working on the One Book program or<br />
some other library project!<br />
Finally, we are grateful <strong>to</strong> our library<br />
leaders for the opportunity <strong>to</strong> devote<br />
the staff time necessary <strong>to</strong> create <strong>and</strong><br />
plan the One Book, One Community<br />
Program. Thanks <strong>to</strong> one <strong>and</strong> all! <strong>See</strong><br />
you soon at a book talk!
