U.P. Notable Book Club presents Eugene Milihizer and "Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder" - August 10th 2023
by Victor R. Volkman 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

Please pass on to your patrons! UP Notable Book Club presents a Q&A session with Eugene Milihizer about "Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder" *Official Seal of the U.P. Notable Books <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…> UP Notable Book Club:* the Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the /UP Notable Book List/. The 29th event is with Eugene R. Milihizer and his in-depth analysis of fact and fiction behind both the novel and movie /Anatomy of a Murder/. As a distinguished professor of law, Milihizer has unique insights to provide to the literary, legal, and cinematic dimensions of the story. The movie was famously filmed in both Ishpeming and Marquette, Michigan in an era when nearly all Hollywood productions were done on studio lots and sets. Milihizer captures rare recollections of this time in history in his book /Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder/, from Ave Maria Law Press. He was warmly received at Northern Michigan University during his book tour last year. Milihizer writes: "I saw the film /Anatomy of a Murder/ while in high school, and soon thereafter read the novel on which it was based. /Anatomy/ was a major influence in my decision to attend to law school and my career as a lawyer. My latest writing project is a courtroom thriller entitled /Searching for Lilly/, which is an homage to the authenticity of John Voelker’s novel, and his capacity and willingness to confront the larger moral and ethical issues that often arise during a contested murder trial. Publication of my novel is expected by July 2023." /*When: */August 10th, 2023 at 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central /*Where: */on the Zoom platform -- please contact Evelyn Gathu in advance by egathu(a)crystalfallslibrary.org <mailto:egathu@crystalfallslibrary.org?subject=UPNotableBooks&body=Please-send-me-the-zoom-link>, or by phone at (906) 875-3344. We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events. *DEAN EMERITUS EUGENE R. MILIHIZER* participated in hundreds of appeals, tried scores of criminal cases, and served in multiple leadership positions as an Army Judge Advocate. For three years, he held a teaching appointment at the Judge Advocate General's School at the University of Virginia. In 2001, he joined the Ave Maria faculty and his course of offerings have included Criminal Procedure, Criminal Law, National Security Law and Military Law. Dean Emeritus Milhizer has been an invited presenter at law schools across the country and his legal scholarship has been published in many prestigious law journals. In May 2006, he was appointed Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and in April 2009, he was appointed Acting Dean of the Law School. In January 2010, he was appointed the Law School's second President and Dean, and he served in that position until his return to full-time teaching in the summer of 2014. During the summer of 2009, under his leadership, the Law School successfully accomplished the unprecedented feat of relocating from Michigan to Florida. cover of the book DISSECTING ANATOMY OF A MURDER <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…>"The all-encompassing structure of Milhizer’s /Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder /makes it unique and a must-read for the Anatomy completist. Specifically, the book divides into three sections: the early life and career of lawyer John D. Voelker (pen name Robert Traver), a detailed comparison of the real-life case, the real-life story of how Lt. Coleman A. Peterson shot and killed tavern owner Maurice Chenoweth point-blank in Big Bay vs. the screenplay depictions of case materials, and lastly an intense legal analysis of the pivotal issues including the insanity defense, jury nullification, and the underutilization of /voir dire/ (eliminating unqualified jurors). Sprinkled throughout the copiously footnoted book are wonderful reminisces from John Voelker about his career both as a struggling lawyer and then as 16 years as prosecuting attorney for Marquette County. Voelker’s love for the rugged beauty and wilderness of the U.P. comes through his disdain for how the newly constructed Big Mac bridge would open up the U.P. to just about anybody and how carefully he hid his favorite trout fishing hole. Some of these reflections come to us through excerpts of his three prior unsuccessful novels and his extensive personal diaries which give us a rare look at the man behind the mirror. In one of life’s cruel ironies, Voelker was finally selected as a Michigan Supreme Court justice just weeks after /Anatomy of a Murder/ became a /New York Times/ Bestseller. This would have also solved his financial woes but at the cost of forsaking his beloved U.P." -- read the full review <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…> by Victor R.

A local non-profit foundation wants to me with us about possibly participating in this program at our library. Apparently no entity in our Michigan County (Antrim) participates. I do know how this program works from the family receiving end, but not sure of how our library would be expected to participate - costs, time spent, etc. Anyone with any experience with this program, can you send me your thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Thanks! -- Cindi L. Place, MLIS Director, Bellaire Public Library bellairelibrary(a)torchlake.com 231-533-8814

Programming Recommendation : Alex Thomas and Friends
by Kaitlin Matesich 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

Hello Libraryland! The Benzie Shores District Library just hosted Alex Thomas and Friends for a T.V. Puppetry Workshop and it was FANTASTIC. This is the second time we have hosted Alex Thomas and Friends for a program and they have been consistently wonderful to work with. We had an intergenerational group and everyone got into the spirit and participated (even those reluctant caregivers had a great time) ! Everyone left with huge smiles and a newfound respect for the teamwork required to make shows, like Sesame Street, as a performer. We worked on how puppets can “come to life”, perspective, teamwork, and how live puppet shows are different from the puppets you see on your screens - along with some of the “T.V. magic” that you can use to make something spectacular. They also create great video content with puppets and can fabricate just about anything. If you have a PSA, a summer reading video, or even training videos that you think could benefit from some fancy felt friends Alex Thomas and Friends are the ones to call! I am happy to answer any questions about our experiences with them but I would highly recommend their programs and we cannot wait to have them back! You can check out their website at : https://www.alexthomasandfriends.com/ -- *Kaitlin Matesich* *Youth Services Coordinator* *Benzie Shores District Library* *630 Main St. Frankfort, MI* My Pronouns: She/Her - See www.mypronouns.org to learn more*.*
