SUMMARY:America's First Cookbook and Purchase of New Milford's Cookbook
DESCRIPTION:America’s First Cookbook was called American Cookery and by a young country author who created a culinary upheaval. Self-published in 1796 but backed by prominent Federalist politicians\, American Cookery is considered a culinary milestone in American history. It was penned by the enigmatic American orphan Amelia Simmons. The groundbreaking 13-edition cookbook has an enduring legacy that has shaped the course of American cuisine over the centuries. \nStep back in time with us to explore the rich tapestry of the nation’s cookbook\, written by an American with American recipes. It showcases instructions from early American cuisine\, a melting pot of European traditions\, Native American ingredients\, and innovative cooking techniques. American Cookery isn’t just a cookbook; it’s a culinary time capsule that innovatively showcases practicality and creativity in the kitchen. John Cilio’s presentation highlights American Cookery in detail\, the evolution of cookbooks in early America\, the impact of cast iron stoves\, and the development of cooking schools.

SUMMARY:Anything Helps
DESCRIPTION:A New Play About Charity. A LATE–BLOOMER NEW YORK CITY ACTOR chooses to commit a singular act of charity—serving free coffee to a small segment of the city’s 150\,000+ homeless population living on its affluent Union Square. In the process\, he discovers a familial connection with this colorful but broken cadre of characters. As COVID overtakes Manhattan\, his experiences among the poor lead him into a “dark night of the soul\,” from which he ultimately emerges\, finding reconciliation with God and true affirmation of the Franciscan belief that “it is in giving that we receive.” Actor and award-winning writer MARK E. LANHAM and award-winning director CHRIS CLAVELLI come together to tell a tale that is both timely and timeless—an ode to the modern urban age that cheerfully refutes the old adage that no good deed goes unpunished. \nPost-Show Talk Back moderated by Rabbi Ari Rosenberg\, Executive Director\, ARC (Association of Religious Communities) a leading advocate for people experiencing homelessness in our area. \nPlease bring nonperishable food item for the New Milford Food Bank. (Suggestions: cans of tuna\, boxes of breakfast cereal.)

SUMMARY:Online Author Talk: Beronda Montgomery
DESCRIPTION:When Trees Testify: Reclaiming America’s Black Botanical Legacy with Beronda Montgomery \nJoin us for a riveting conversation with award-winning biologist Beronda Montgomery as we discuss her book\, When Trees Testify: Science\, Wisdom\, History\, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy.  \nThe histories of trees in America are also the histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African named Antoine; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement; poplar trees are historically associated with lynching; and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. These trees\, and others\, testify not only to the complexity of the Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise that\, like Native American traditions\, predates the United States entirely. \nIn When Trees Testify\, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees\, as well as the cotton shrub\, are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows\, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants. \nCombining the wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany\, Montgomery talks to majestic trees\, and in this unique and compelling narrative\, they answer. \nRegister today for this insightful discussion about Black history and botanical mastery.

SUMMARY:Louise Coombe & George Mallas - Singer/Songwriter Concert
DESCRIPTION:George Mallas and Louise Coombe are singer/songwriters with unique musical styles\, each creating a journey through lives both real and imagined. Mallas is a pianist whose voice and songwriting are reminiscent of Jackson Brown or Cat Stevens. He’s a master of heartbreak infused with optimism. Coombe is a guitar player with southern roots that often show in the scenes she creates in her songs. Her vocals are delightful both in tone and narrative. An evening with the two of them features a back and forth of styles\, as they present some works on their own and some together. Their collaborations are a clear demonstration that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Both artists have recorded several albums and perform regularly throughout New England.

SUMMARY:Dinner & Music with Bernie Kaplan" "Yesterday & Tomorrow\, Today"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Bernie Kaplan on guitar\, flute\, and dulcime with an all-star band including the remarkable David Wonsey on percussion\, Sherman’s own piano and multi instrumentalist wizard\, Christopher Carlone on piano\, Sherman School’s Steven Trinchillo on bass\, and a few surprise guests.\n\n\n\nThis concert showcases an eclectic mix of Bernie’s tunes representing many genres of music.\n\n\n\nMenu Coming Soon\n\n\n\nAbout Bernie Kaplan\n\nBernie wrote his first song over 60 years ago. In his younger years\, he held a variety of sundry jobs from dairy farming to school custodian while also performing on the coffee house circuit before forming a band that eventually played just about every kind of music from standards to pop hits\, from country to disco\, as well as originals representing a wide range of genres. During that time he taught himself to play flute and dulcimer in addition to guitar. After starting a family\, his music mostly gave way to a long and fulfilling career as an educator\, where he served as a coach\, English teacher\, drama director\, and administrator\, culminating in a 26 year tenure as a high school principal. Always\, at times along the way and whenever he could\, he found time to play and to write songs. Currently retired and splitting his time between the city and Sherman\, Bernie is again deeply engaged in songwriting and playing flute.

SUMMARY:Benedict Arnold: Connecticut's Most Misunderstood Traitor
DESCRIPTION:Benedict Arnold’s name is synonymous with being a traitor. At an important point in the\nRevolutionary War\, he orchestrated the handover of top-secret plans about the Patriots’\nmost important fort\, West Point\, to British spy John Andre. The plot unraveled;\notherwise\, the outcome of the fight for independence may have had a different ending.\nWhen looking at reasons for his traitorous behavior\, his shattered dreams growing up in\nNorwich are often overlooked. And\, before he switched allegiances to join the British\,\nArnold was considered among the finest of all military leaders on the Patriot side.\nNoted journalist\, podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen will tell this amazing story.

SUMMARY:Local Author Event: Peter C. Vermilyea
DESCRIPTION:About the Book: Litchfield County in the American Revolution\nFrom the first sparks of revolution in the 1770s\, Litchfield County played an important role in the War\nof Independence. Roger Sherman of New Milford was on the five-member committee that drafted the\nDeclaration of Independence. Oliver Wolcott of Litchfield signed the document and oversaw the\ntransportation of a toppled statue of King George III from New York City to his hometown\, where it\nwas melted down and turned into more than forty thousand musket balls. Those musket balls were\nperhaps fired by hundreds of local militia\, including Black residents\, who served in the war\, while many\nother residents helped furnish supplies and information for the army. However\, not everyone supported\nthe Patriot cause\, as the county was also home to those who remained loyal to the British King. Later\nyears saw the Continental Army make a winter encampment in New Milford and several visits by\nGeorge Washington. Local author and historian Peter Vermilyea reveals how liberty\, sacrifice\, and\nresilience in a small corner of New England helped shape the destiny of a new nation.
