SUMMARY:Live from the Boathouse: Michael Bell
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 16\, 2024\nLive from the Boathouse!\nMichael Bell presents The Vampire’s Grasp in New England\n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nMembers: FREE (please use the ticket reservation link to reserve your spot)\nNon-Members: $5.00 \n  \nRESERVE YOUR SPOT\n  \nIncredible as it may seem to contemporary Americans\, vampires preyed upon their not-so-distant ancestors. But these unseen killers did not resemble Count Dracula: New England’s authentic vampires were the pathogenic microbes (“bacteria with fangs”) that caused consumption\, or Tuberculosis. Join Michael Bell\, author of Vampire’s Grasp: The Hidden History of Consumption in New England\, for a journey where folklore and medical science meet to explain New England’s vampire tradition. \n  \n \nMichael E. Bell was awarded a Ph.D. in Folklore from Indiana University at Bloomington and has an M.A. in Folklore and Mythology from the University of California at Los Angeles as well as a B.A. in Anthropology and Archaeology from the University of Arizona\, Tucson. For more than twenty-five years\, Bell was the Consulting Folklorist at the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission in Providence\, Rhode Island. He has also taught folklore\, English\, and anthropology at several colleges and universities. Dr. Bell has served as a scholar or consultant on numerous projects\, particularly those concerned with folklore\, folk art\, oral history\, and humanities programs for young adults. Bell has completed a variety of publications and media productions on topics ranging from local legends and the magical black cat bone to the occupational folklife of the shell fishing industry of Narragansett Bay. \n  \n  \nThe Connecticut River Museum may record this event\, including all questions\, comments\, etc. by the audience. By participating\, you agree to allow the recording to be posted on the Connecticut River Museum’s website\, Facebook page\, Instagram feed\, and other media.

SUMMARY:Live from the Boathouse: A Place Called Hope
DESCRIPTION:September 17th\, 2024\nLive from the Boathouse!\nA Place Called Hope presents Think Outside the Bait Box \n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nMembers: FREE (please use the ticket reservation link to reserve your spot)\nNon-Members: $5.00 \n  \nRESERVE YOUR SPOT\n  \nRodenticide and similar poisons may seem like an effective method of pest control\, but they pose real dangers to us\, our pets and to wildlife – including bald eagles! Join Christine Cummings from A Place Called Hope (a Raptor Rehabilitation and Education Center based in Killingworth\, CT) and Nicole Rivard from Friends of Animals for an exploration of why poisons don’t solve pest problems and how to apply long term strategies that solve the issue without harming our local wildlife. \n  \n \n  \nChristine Cummings has devoted her adult life to Wildlife Rehabilitation since 2005. In 2007\, A Place Called Hope was founded\, with the mission of preserving wildlife for the future. As a State and Federally licensed Bird of Prey Wildlife Rehabilitator\, Christine admits on average 500-600 patients per year. Her daily routine consists of catering to the needs of injured\, orphaned\, or sick birds of prey\, as well as the 40 resident ambassador birds who call ACPH home. Christine hopes to promote a better understanding of ways we can all coexist with the wildlife we find in our very own backyards. \n  \n  \n \nNicole Rivard started working at Friends of Animals in 2013. She brings 28 years of journalism experience to FoA’s Action Line magazine and to the front lines— protesting and documenting atrocities against animals exploited by the carriage horse\, fur and hunting industries\, as well as the Bureau of Land Management’s mismanagement of America’s wild horses. Nicole also helps direct FoA’s legislative outreach and is currently working on banning second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides in CT. She enjoys photography\, wildlife watching and wild places. She can be reached at nrivard@friendsofanimals.org. \n  \n  \nThe Connecticut River Museum may record this event\, including all questions\, comments\, etc. by the audience.
