SUMMARY:Noontime Notions - Henry and His Wives
DESCRIPTION:The Noontime Notions series continues.  The program will begin at noon in the Rogow Room at the Transylvania County Library. Noontime Notions programs feature authors\, performers\, and presenters providing engaging notions for consideration\, enjoyment\, and discovery.   The program is made possible by the Friends of the Library and will last approximately one hour. \nPaula Withrow will provide insight into the women who played an incredible role in creating the person that became Henry VIII. His grandmothers and his mother were very influential. But it was the women who became his wives; who manipulated\, angered\, disappointed and even nursed him. These six women with diverse backgrounds\, goals and powers will be featured. In less than an hour we will see who they were\, what they influenced and what the results were. \nPaula V. Withrow has a Master’s Degree in History from Colorado State University. Her research has been wide ranging from 18th Dynasty Egypt to First Ladies 0and the Media. The Tudor era in history and the impact that Henry VIII made in England and globally – influenced so heavily by the women in his life – is of special interest. She has instructed courses in history in community colleges\, UNCA OLLI\, libraries and Continued Care facilities since 2001.

SUMMARY:Family Show: Grey Seal Puppets
DESCRIPTION:Grey Seal Puppets presents A Tangle of Tales \nA taste of the familiar and a touch of the new. It’s Tangle Of Tales\, the imaginative creation of Grey Seal Puppets. Three favorite folk tales from around the world come to life: “The Frog Prince” from Germany teaches the importance of a promise\, “Three Billy Goats Gruff” from Scandinavia warns us against gluttony\, and “The Three Little Pigs” from England is all about doing the job right. \nEach story is told in a different style using a variety of puppets including hand and rod control. Along with these familiar tales of childhood\, the Grey Seal Puppets offer a whole menagerie of zany characters. A skinny ant dances a lively jig; “block heads” learn how to get around; and the zaniest creatures of all\, the “Wobblies\,” open the forty-five minute show with an extraordinary ballet choreographed to Kablevsky’s “The Comedian’s Suite.” And there’s more! Tangle Of Tales is fun for everyone!

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Festival 2025 - American Celebrity - Albert Einstein
DESCRIPTION:Hear his story in his own words. Albert Einstein did things his own way and in his own time. As a toddler\, he worried his family when he was slow to speak\, but then surprised them when he began to speak in full sentences. He frustrated his teachers since he saw no sense to drill and practice exercises; got correct answers\, but did not follow lab procedures and came up with his own. In 1905 he published four scientific papers which would elevate him to international attention within the scientific community. Then\, he linked space\, time and gravity with his General Theory of Relativity and changed our understanding of the nature of the universe. \nLarry Bounds (Albert Einstein)  \nLarry Bounds has performed on the Chautauqua stage since 2002. Over the years he has portrayed Dicken\, Churchill\, Disney\, Crockett\, Von Braun\, Cronkite\, and Harry Houdini to numerous Chautauqua audiences nationwide. Larry holds a B.A. in theatre and a M.Ed from The University of Tennessee\, and he is a National Board Certified educator. For 35 years he taught public high school. He was awarded his school’s Teacher of the Year in 2003 and was recognized as one of the Upstate’s Most Influential Educators by “Parent Magazine” in 2018. He has performed as a professional magician since 1973\, including 8 years entertaining with Ripley’s Believe It or Not! The International Brotherhood of Magicians admitted him to the Order of Merlin in 2009. \nBased in Greenville\, SC\, Chautauqua History Comes Alive is interactive theater and the performances offer an astonishing journey into the past allowing the audience to hear stories of the characters in their own words. This year’s character performances are Erma Bombeck (Saturday\, June 7); Babe Ruth (Tuesday\, June 10); Josephine Baker (Thursday\, June 12); Lucille Ball (Saturday\, June 14); and Albert Einstein (Tuesday\, June 17).

SUMMARY:Noontime Notions - How We Keep Each Other Close
DESCRIPTION:Katherine Scott Crawford\, a local historical novelist\, will delve into the post-revolutionary era in the South\, and the fascinating world of miniature portraits—topics she researched while writing her latest historical novel\, The Miniaturist’s Assistant. During her talk\, How We Keep Each Other Close\, she will explore the early 19th century’s version of the personal and/or family portrait—something akin to our 21st century “selfie\,” a school picture\, or even a professional headshot. She’ll discuss the United States’s own “Regency Era” (minus the regent\, of course) and explain how early Americans chose to remember the people they loved best. Highland Books will be on hand with copies of her novel for sale and signing following the program. \nKatherine Scott Crawford is the award-winning author of The Miniaturist’s Assistant and Keowee Valley. A former backpacking guide\, adjunct professor\, and recovering academic\, her newspaper column appeared across the country and abroad\, including in the Asheville Citizen-Times\, The Greenville News\, USA Today\, the Detroit Free Press\, and Herald Scotland.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Festival 2025 - American Celebrity - Babe Ruth
DESCRIPTION:Hear his story in his own words. In the annals of American sports history\, no name resonates as profoundly as that of George Herman “Babe” Ruth. Known as the Sultan of Swat\, Ruth wasn’t just a baseball player; he was a cultural phenomenon. His unprecedented hitting and larger-than-life personality transformed him into America’s first true national sporting celebrity. His career coincided with the rise of mass media and the Roaring twenties\, creating a perfect storm for the birth of a new kind of American idol. \nKevin Treu (Babe Ruth) \nKevin Treu has been a Professor of Computer Science at Furman University since 1992 and has served as chair of the Department of Computer Science since 2004. In 2023 he was honored with the Chiles-Harrill Award for contributions made to the lives of students.  Away from Furman\, Kevin has been an actor\, director and playwright in the local upstate theater community for nearly 30 years.  He recently received Director of the Year honors for “Hank Williams: Lost Highway” at the Spartanburg Little Theater.  He has been the head coach of the Devenger Dolphins summer league swim team for more than 20 years and regularly competes in open water swim races all over the country.  He is a passionate lifelong baseball fan\, but unfortunately his Pittsburgh Pirates have not won a World Series in almost 50 years. \nBased in Greenville\, SC\, Chautauqua History Comes Alive is interactive theater and the performances offer an astonishing journey into the past allowing the audience to hear stories of the characters in their own words. This year’s character performances are Erma Bombeck (Saturday\, June 7); Babe Ruth (Tuesday\, June 10); Josephine Baker (Thursday\, June 12); Lucille Ball (Saturday\, June 14); and Albert Einstein (Tuesday\, June 17).

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Festival 2025 - American Celebrity - Erma Bombeck
DESCRIPTION:Hear her story in her own words.  Erma Bombeck was no overnight success. She honed her craft writing humor articles for her school newspaper\, writing flight manuals for the Air Force\, and obituaries for her local paper. When her “At Wit’s End” column launched at the “Dayton Journal Herald” in 1965\, it was swiftly picked up in syndication by over 500 newspapers across the country.  She appeared on TV morning shows as well as “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson sharing her simple observations of the everyday absurdities of being a wife and mother in middle America. \nSusan Marie Frontczak (Erma Bombeck) \nIn her 24 years as a Living History scholar\, Susan Marie has given more than 875 presentations as Marie Curie\, Mary Shelley\, Eleanor Roosevelt\, Clara Barton\, Irene Castle and Erma Bombeck across 43 of the United States and abroad. She also works with both adults and youth to develop their own Living History presentations. She authored the Young Chautauqua handbooks for Colorado Humanities and taught at the Chautauqua Training Institute in 2022-23.  As a teen\, Susan Marie competed with her mother to see which of them could snag the monthly “Good Housekeeping” first in order to read Erma Bombeck’s column.  With Bombeck\, Susan Marie’s challenge is to convey her humor along with the person behind the persona. \nBased in Greenville\, SC\, Chautauqua History Comes Alive is interactive theater and the performances offer an astonishing journey into the past allowing the audience to hear stories of the characters in their own words. This year’s character performances are Erma Bombeck (Saturday\, June 7); Babe Ruth (Tuesday\, June 10); Josephine Baker (Thursday\, June 12); Lucille Ball (Saturday\, June 14); and Albert Einstein (Tuesday\, June 17).

SUMMARY:Noontime Notions: Science Series
DESCRIPTION:The Noontime Notions: Science Series will begin at noon in the Rogow Room at the Transylvania County Library. Noontime Notions programs feature authors\, performers\, and presenters providing engaging notions for consideration\, enjoyment\, and discovery.   The program is made possible by the Friends of the Library and will last approximately 75 minutes. \nJoin presenter David Johnston for this three program series adventure to the stars.  David serves as a Solar System Ambassador for NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory\, as a Science Advisor for the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute\, and is co-founder of the AstroBrevard Astronomy Club. He has taught science\, engineering\, and math in both formal and informal settings for the past 20 years. Although his academic career was in Computer Science\, David has been a life-long amateur astronomer. David and his wife\, Caroline\, have lived in Brevard for almost four years. They have two children\, both of whom\, for better or worse\, are also nerds. \nMay 13th — Astronomy 101: the Universe in 75 Minutes \nWe humans have always been fascinated by the night sky. It’s been our calendar\, a collection of signposts that show us the way from point A to point B\, and a connect-the-dots canvas for us to draw out our myths. Join David for this (slightly compressed) survey of modern Astronomy. \nMay 20th — Artemis: Earth\, Moon\, Mars —  Our First Steps Towards Living on Other Worlds \nIn the late 1960s and early 1970s\, 12 Americans walked on the Moon. They were the first humans to set foot on another world. Then we stopped going. Now\, at long last\, we’re going back. Join David as he discusses the Artemis program\, NASA’s plan to take humanity back to the Moon\, and then on to Mars. \nMay 27th — SETI: the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence \nAre we alone in the Universe? Is life ubiquitous or rare? What about intelligent life? Are there other technological civilizations out there? Join  David as he presents a talk on SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and attempts to explain why we can’t answer any of those questions\, but may soon be able to.

SUMMARY:Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Join us for yoga at the Library!\nClass starts at 9:30 am\, and instructor Clare Desmelik leads the series. Class will take place in the library amphitheater April through November.  We’ll move inside to the Rogow Room during the colder months starting October 24th – March. There are no rain dates\, but the porch might be an alternate location for gentle rain.  Yoga is an ancient practice that uses a series of seated and standing body poses held with a focus on the breath and the inner experience.  Yoga is a great mood booster and increases flexibility of mind and body. Everyone is welcome!  This class is free and open to all ages and experiences levels.  Pop in for a single class or attend them all. \nBring a yoga mat or towel and water\, and be sure to dress in layers!\nClare Desmelik has been practicing yoga since the early 2000’s and believes it to be a saving grace. She trusts in the power of taking a deep breath\, as well as taking some ‘time in’ to notice and find awareness in the body.  She feels that anyone’s emotional\, physical\, or mental health will benefit from a gentle yoga practice.  It helps reclaim your sense of calm and quiets the mind; it helps you find freedom and courage in your heart; and it allows you to feel strength and poise in your capable body. She has been enjoying teaching yoga in the Brevard and Asheville area since 2016.  She brings an approachable and revitalizing ‘go with the flow’ vibe to her classes\, which are suitable for any and all!   Clare is also the Spanish and Yoga teacher at Mountain Sun Community School\, a full-time advocate for childhood cancer and pediatric brain tumor awareness\, a grateful mom of two awesome boys\, and is often seen with her golden retrievers. She is authentically convinced that ‘Love Heals’ and yoga is all about love.
