September 5 @ 7 pm: First Friday Event - Chautauqua on Navajo Code Talkers
“The Navajo Code Talker’s Indispensable Role in the Pacific Theater and How Coded Language Continues to Pervade Our Lives” a Chautauqua by Nancy R. Bartlit
Capitan Public Library hosts Chautauqua Speaker, Nancy Bartlit, for the 1st Friday Adult Lecture on September 5th at 7:00 p.m. Refreshments will follow.
Nancy R. Bartlit is an author, oral historian, amateur photographer, and a Chautauqua lecturer listed with the N.M. Humanities Council and the Historical Society of New Mexico.
Upon graduating from Smith College, Northampton, MA, as a history major, Bartlit taught in Sendai, Japan, for two years, visiting all four main islands of Japan. She revisited Japan four times, one which was under the University of New Mexico Study of Japanese Business and Technology. Following completion of that program, she studied under Everett M. Rogers, a distinguished professor who headed the UNM Journalism and Communication Department and under whom she received her Master’s Degree.
Rogers and Bartlit interviewed numerous New Mexico veterans to write "Silent Voices of World War II: When Sons of the Land of Enchantment Met Sons of the Land of the Rising Sun" (Sunstone Press, Santa Fe: 2005) They interviewed U.S. Army Survivors of the Bataan Death March, Navajo Code Talker Marine privates, Manhattan Project civilians and military personnel, and a survivor of the Santa Fe Internment Camp for males of Japanese descent.
Bartlit traveled in the US and abroad to research archives, military museums and monuments, libraries, and spoke to authors and persons who knew these WWII heroes. Bartlit attended the Window Rock, AZ, ceremony where hundreds of the Navajo Code Talkers were honored with the silver Congressional medal for their unique contributions to end WWII.
In April 2012, Bartlit co-chaired a two-day Symposium on NM Japanese internment at the Historical Museum of NM/Palace of the Governors. At the symposium, the public learned about the life in the Santa Fe Detention Internment Camp and the Lordsburg Camp, and how the men of Japanese ancestry were treated. One of the ironies of internment was Japanese American sons were fighting in Europe and the Pacific on behalf of America -- their native land -- while their fathers were incarcerated based on their professions and "alien" status, not for actions against America.
This year, Bartlit was a guest speaker at the 71st Anniversary commemoration of the Bataan Death March surrender at an April 9 ceremony in Santa Fe sponsored by the NM National Guard (http://www.dvs.state.nm.us/apr9_BataanMemorial.html) and at a special program held in Alamorgordo with survivors of the March and Navajo Code Talkers the weekend of the 25th Annual White Sands Memorial March.

Bartlit will also be speaking at the Corona Library on Thursday, September 4th.

Summer Reading: Fizz, Boom, READ ends with a BANG!
The library's summer reading program is over but what fun the kids had reading and learning through the summer. Cindy Foglesong
brought a gallon a freshly milked goat milk and proceeded to show the
children how to make cheese. She also talked to children and parents
about the different kinds of goats and explained the life cycle of
goats.
The program served 40 children this summer meeting on Mondays in June through July 21. Rink Somersby from the Asombro Institute in Las Cruces brought her trunk of fossils and educated the children on how to recognize fossils and entertained them with hunks of dinosaur poop. Other presenters told stories, sang songs and made sugar candy with the kids.
The final program ended with hot digs, chips, drinks and cookers. Thanks to Debbie Myers for coordinating a super program for the summer, and to several dedicated parents.
Top readers from left to right (Zach Rich - 2nd place; Duncan Daugherty & Daniel Daugherty - tied for 1st place; and Alice Allen - 3rd place, all received Walmart gift cards and a gift bag. All 40 participants received a gift bag.

August 1 - First Friday Event @ 7 p.m.
Capitan Public Library will host author and pilot, Albert Charles Ackerman, Jr., on Friday, August 1, at 7:00 p.m. for an entertaining evening discussing Ackerman's life experiences and his recently published book, My Journey West: A pilot's lifetime in aviation.
Ackerman
was born in 1933 and experienced a difficult early life after being abandoned
by his father at age fourteen, which left him and his mother struggling to support
themselves. In 1950, his life took a new direction when he took an
illegal solo flight in a Piper J-3 Cub. He knew from the moment he
first touched the controls that becoming a pilot would be his only goal.
After
some disappointing setbacks and a miraculous survival from a horrific
crash, he established a career in aviation. For 63 years he flew famous
celebrities and world leaders in over a hundred different types of
airplanes and helicopters.
After
retiring, he spent a rewarding five years as an Angel Flight Pilot.
These pilots fly disadvantaged patients to health care facilities free
of charge. Ackerman is still an active pilot at the age of 81, making him a new member of the UFO (United Flying Octogenerians). The
UFO is an international, non-profit organization with over 1500 members
worldwide.
My Journey West: A pilot's lifetime in aviation
Piper J3 Cub |
AMAZON SYNOPSIS: High-flying hijinks. Death-defying close calls. Rubbing elbows with rock
and roll bands, politicians, and glitzy celebrities. Albert Ackerman
has whittled down the most funny, sad, and downright scary tales into My
Journey West. Ackerman went from his first flying lessons in high
school and his eighty-seven-dollar-a-month air force job to becoming a
flight instructor, a commercial airplane captain, and a charter pilot to
the rich and famous. He got to know Bill Lear, creator of the Learjet,
and Chuck Yeager, the pilot who broke the sound barrier. He flew Conway
Twitty, Steppenwolf, and even Frank Sinatra, whose plane came complete
with a piano bar and well-stocked liquor cabinet. He even got a close
look at President Lyndon Johnson. His flying days were also punctuated
by brushes with death, including a crash over the Caribbean. My Journey West is sure to please both aviation buffs and readers who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground.
