Feb 07 Votes for Women: Taking Our Place in Politics Exhibit Opening Reception

The Hays-Heighe House at Harford Community College, 401 Thomas Run Road, Bel Air. 01:00 PM - 05:00 PM Come to the Hays-Heighe House and view our newest exhibit. Meet the curators and learn about the exhibit creation process at the Curator Walk at 2pm & 4pm. Reservation not necessary. FREE and open to the public. Exhibit curated by: Stephanie Hallock, Professor of Political Science and Coordinator for Global Education & Engagement at HCC; Gina Calia-Lotz, Instructional Services Librarian at HCC. This exhibit was inspired by the campaign for women’s suffrage in the United States, the 100th anniversary of the final pushes in the Senate for the 19th Amendment, and the ratification nationally of women’s right to vote. Alliances formed for and against women’s suffrage reveal important divisions in American society in the first part of the 20th century, with roots before the Civil War, and branches that continue to this day. Votes for Women explores women’s sphere as it expands to include political office, considers the changing understandings of civic virtue, and reveals difficult choices that political movements must make in pursuit of their goals. Throughout, it highlights topics with a contemporary resonance: women’s position in society, social protest, racial divisions, and political engagement. Exhibit on view: 2/7/19 through 6/1/19.

Feb 23 Author Event: In Pursuit, The Hunt for the Beltway Snipers

02:00 PM - 04:00 PM Caprichos Books, Armory Marketplace, behind the Armory, 37 N. Main Street, #102, Bel Air. Caprichos Books is excited to host David Reichenbaugh, Author of In Pursuit, The Hunt for the Beltway Snipers. Join us to discuss the book with David. Event is FREE, Seating is Limited. Books will be available for purchase – contact the store to pre-order now. From David Reichenbaugh’s website: About the Book In Pursuit, The Hunt for the Beltway Snipers – The true story of the Washington, DC, snipers, by the cop who took them down. October 2, 2002. A bullet pierced the window of a crafts store in Maryland, just missing the cashier. But other bullets hit their targets. In Pursuit follows the hunt for the Beltway snipers during the twenty-three-day shooting spree that terrorized Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. David Reichenbaugh, the criminal intelligence operations commander for the Maryland State Police, and commanding officer at the scene during the snipers’ capture in Myersville, Maryland, played a major role in the investigation from the first day of the killing spree through its final act, as the snipers were cornered in a rest area in western Maryland. He is one of a very few who know the complete details of the investigation and capture of the snipers. Working against the clock with few clues and little evidence, hundreds of investigators from federal, state, county, and city law enforcement agencies struggled to find answers to the questions: Who were the killers? Was their choice of victims random? And most of all, Why did they kill? When the killers began leaving notes to taunt the police, investigators were finally able to begin assembling a picture, piercing the fog of uncertainty and terror that filled the region. In Pursuit is a step-by-step procedural that offers an inside look at how investigators made sense of the dizzying array of facts, conjectures, motives, and opportunities and brought to heel two of the most diabolical killers in the nation’s history. 410.929.6081 • https://www.facebook.com/CaprichosBooks/.

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette Street, Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM If you think waste is someone else’s problem…think again. In “Trashed,” actor Jeremy Irons sets out to discover the extent and effects of the global waste problem, as he travels around the world to beautiful destinations tainted by pollution. The film reveals surprising truths about very immediate and potent dangers to our health. It is a global conversation from Iceland to Indonesia between Jeremy and scientists, politicians and ordinary individuals whose health and livelihoods have been fundamentally affected by waste pollution. Visually and emotionally, the film is both horrific and beautiful, equal parts a story of human interest and a political wake-up call. This is a meticulous, brave investigative journey that takes the viewer from skepticism to sorrow, and from horror to hope. Presented as part of our ongoing Environmental Film Series, through the partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. All film screenings are FREE to the public, and are held inside the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum’s main gallery. A discussion will follow the film. 410.939.4800 • hdggreenteam@gmail.com • hdgmaritimemuseum@verizon.net • http://www.hdggreenteam.org/.

Mar 14 Maryland's Women's Suffrage Movement Lecture

The Hays-Heighe House at Harford Community College, 401 Thomas Run Road, Bel Air. 06:30 PM - 08:00 PM Lecture by Kacy Rohn, Community Development Coordinator for College Park, MD. Maryland was not among the 36 states whose ratification of the 19th Amendment affirmed women’s suffrage as part of the Constitution, and was unable to ratify until 1941. That does not mean, though, that there was minimal activity by suffragists in Maryland; indeed, proximity to Washington D.C. in some ways made it ground zero. Historic preservationist and community planner Kacy Rohn researched suffrage activities in Maryland, and with the support of Maryland Historic Trust, created a Story Map of important people, places, and events. FREE and open to the public. Limited seating. Reservation recommended. 443.412.2539 • haysheighe@harford.edu • http://www.harford.edu/community/hays-heighe-house/exhibitions.

Mar 14 - Mar 17 Antigone

Center Stage, 700 N. Calvert Street, Baltimore. 07:00 PM A civil war has just ended, throwing the city into chaos and tearing families apart. Desperate to establish peace and order, the victorious leader, Creon, has issued strict new laws. But his niece, Antigone, resists these decrees for violating spiritual law and threatening her right to honor the dead. With lives, loves, and justice on the line, and two competing truths on a collision course, can the personal and the political co-exist? What happens when the good of the many clashes with the good of a few? Who wins when the laws of men confront the laws of nature? And can one still, small voice really shake the foundations of power? 410.332.0033 • info@centerstage.org • https://www.centerstage.org/.

Mar 16 Food, Farmers and Community: Opening the Dialogue

Harford Community College, 401 Thomas Run Road, Bel Air. 08:30 AM - 01:30 PM “Food, Farmers and Community: Opening the Dialogue,” a half-day symposium focusing on Harford County’s agriculture and food system and the advantages of buying local. The symposium is the centerpiece of “Gathering at the Community Table: Celebrating Harford’s Farms and Food,” the first Harford Community College Scholar-in-Residence program, which focuses on Harford County’s rich food history and land stewardship. The symposium’s keynote speaker is Julie Oberg, deputy secretary of the Maryland Department of Agriculture. She will discuss “As a Community of Food Consumers, We Are All Stakeholders in the Success of Our Farms: Overview of Harford County Farming and its Challenges.” Breakout sessions include “The Real Cost of Cheap Food: The Economic Challenges of Farming and Eating,” “Rooted in Our Soil: Buying Local for Our Community and Our Health,” “What’s Behind the Label: How Do We Understand the Meaning of Organic, GMOs and Antibiotic-Free Food?” and “Why is Agricultural Land Preservation Important in Harford County?” The symposium will also launch Harford County’s new web-based GIS map enabling the public to “buy local” by easily locating and finding information about Harford County farms and their products. Breakfast and lunch will be served at the symposium, and each will feature local agricultural products. At lunch, a wrap-up discussion about the sessions and follow-up action will take place. There will also be a display featuring local farmers and their products. In addition, video shorts featuring farming and food topics will be shown in the registration area, and table and poster displays highlighting county agricultural agencies will be on display. The symposium is geared to both the public and farmers to learn about and discuss issues facing food producers and consumers today. In addition, the planning team encourages county organizations, including nonprofits and religious institutions, to sponsor at least one member to attend the symposium as a “food ambassador.” Food ambassadors will return to their organizations to educate the membership on the information they learned at the symposium. The cost to attend is $10 per person and registration can be made in person on campus at the Office of Continuing Education and Training in Edgewood Hall (401 Thomas Run Road, Bel Air) or online. More information about the symposium may be found at website and by contacting Dr. Sharon Stowers at sstowers@harford.edu.

Apr 10 Eating Animals – Film Screening

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette St., Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM How much do you know about the food that’s on your plate? Based on the bestselling book by Jonathan Safran Foer, narrated by co-producer Natalie Portman, and directed by Christopher Quinn (“God Grew Tired of Us”), “Eating Animals” is an urgent, eye-opening look at the environmental, economic, and public health consequences of factory farming. Tracing the history of food production in the United States, the film charts how farming has gone from local and sustainable to a corporate Frankenstein monster that offers cheap eggs, meat, and dairy at a steep cost: the exploitation of animals; the risky use of antibiotics and hormones; and the pollution of our air, soil, and water. Spotlighting farmers who have pushed backed against industrial agriculture with more humane practices, “Eating Animals” offers attainable, commonsense solutions to a growing crisis while making the case that ethical farming is not only an animal rights issue but one that affects every aspect of our lives. Presented as part of our ongoing Environmental Film Series, through the partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. All film screenings are FREE to the public, and are held inside the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum’s main gallery. A discussion will follow the film. 410.939.4800 • hdggreenteam@gmail.com • hdgmaritimemuseum@verizon.net • http://www.hdggreenteam.org/.

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette Street, Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM The coywolf, a mixture of western coyote and eastern wolf, is a remarkable new hybrid carnivore that is taking over territories once roamed by wolves and slipping unnoticed into our cities.

Beginning in Canada but by no means ending there, the story of how it came to be is an extraordinary tale of how quickly adaptation and evolution can occur, especially when humans interfere. Tag along as scientists study this new top predator, tracking it from the wilderness of Ontario’s Algonquin Park, through parking lots, alleys and backyards in Toronto all the way to the streets of New York City. Presented as part of our ongoing Environmental Film Series, through the partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and Havre de Grace Maritime Museum.
