Karolevitz Exhibit Set For The Center
A special Veterans Day exhibit featuring recollections of
World War II through the eyes of local author Bob Karolevitz
will be on display at The Center, 900 Whiting Drive in Yankton, Nov. 2-20.
Many articles have recently been published in local newspapers to remind the public of the importance of World War
II and those who sacrificed to wage that battle, both at home
and overseas. It is true that “a picture is worth a thousand
words.”
The Center presents the exhibit that commemorates the
events of World War II through the eyes of Karelovitz, a resident poet, essayist and historian. Ten photographs and documents will be on display at The Center beginning on Monday,
Nov. 2, through Friday, Nov. 20. Along with each photo and
document are short paragraphs explaining the content of
each. Karolevitz was an everyday GI and his story is the story
of most veterans.
Display hours are 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
Film On Lakota Language To Be Shown
VERMILLION — The University of South Dakota will host
a free public showing Thursday, Nov. 5, of the film “Rising
Voices” about linguists and members of the Lakota community working together to save the Lakota language.
The Language Conservancy and Florentine Films/Hott
Productions, with major funding provided by the National
Endowment for the Humanities, are sponsoring the 7 p.m.
showing at the Al Neuharth Media Center conference room.
“Rising Voices” is presented and distributed nationally by
American Public Television (APT) and will premiere on public
television stations nationwide beginning Nov. 1.
Poet Featured At Vermillion Library
VERMILLION — The Edith B. Siegrist Vermillion Public
Library will host poet Marcella Remund in its November installment of the Artists & Authors series. She will share insights
into her life in poetry and teaching. The event is set for 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the library.
Remund is a native of Omaha, Nebraska, and a South Dakota transplant. She teaches English courses at the University
of South Dakota, where she is also the faculty advisor for the
Vermillion Literary Project (VLP), the University’s literary/creative writing student organization. She is the author of a poetry
chapbook, “Small Religions,” and a full-length collection of
poems, “Finger Bones & Other Relics.” She maintains a blog at
www.uncanneryrow.blogspot.com.

The Bookworm
Count On Mysterious ‘Nine Lives’
“Nine Lives: A Lily Dale Mystery” by
Wendy Corsi Staub; © 2015, Crooked
Lane Books; 288 pages
———
BY TERI SCHLICHENMEYER
“Aha! There you are!”
How many times have you said that
in your lifetime? A dozen times playing
hide-and-seek; a hundred times looking
for lost possessions; weekly, when
living with someone who’s mobile and
active. There you are! The search is
complete unless, as in the new mystery,
“Nine Lives” by Wendy Corsi Staub, the
loss runs deeper …
Bella Jordan was sure that she’d
have an old Victorian house again
someday.
She didn’t want to leave the one
she’d lived in for so long, but she had
to: she couldn’t afford it anymore, after
having lost her job and her husband,
both within a few months. At least she
still had Max, her 5-year-old son, her
life.
It wouldn’t be any fun moving from
New York to Chicago to stay with her
late husband’s mother, but that had to
be done, too. Millicent (or Maleficent,
as Bella sometimes called her privately)
was the kind of woman who disapproved of everything.
Bella just wanted her life back.
The drive to Chicago wouldn’t take
long; she hoped they’d make it in time
for Max to see the July 4th Fireworks
from Navy Pier. They’d camp along the
way – anything to save a few dollars —
but along the road to the first campground, something odd happened that
Bella had a hard time explaining.
Through a strange set of circumstances, she and Max landed in the
small town of Lily Dale, New York,
home to a community of psychics, one
of which who’d recently drowned in a
lake behind her home. Because Bella
had car troubles and needed a place to
stay, and because the summer season
was imminent and guests would arrive
soon, she was asked to help manage
the woman’s guest house.
But things in “the Dale” were just
too weird for her, and Bella’s imagination ran wild. She kept hearing odd
noises, too many people had keys
to the guest house, and the death of
the original owner was looking more
deliberate than accidental. And yet, try
as she might, Bella couldn’t seem to
leave the odd little enclave — although
there was someone who really wanted
her to go …
Now that I see a synopsis written
down, I suppose one could say that
“Nine Lives” is somewhat convoluted.
And that would be correct: it is, and a
bit clichéd, too.
It’s also filled with deliciously irresistible creepiness.
Starting with a real town as a setting — a town filled with people who
talk to the dead — author Wendy Corsi
Staub layers on the goosebumps with a
murder that may not be a murder and
a fictional cast of characters that will
keep you guessing. The ghosties and
seers aren’t the only thing that creates
chills here, though: Staub also turns
the dial up on psychological terror, too.
What more could you want?
Not much, because this is a whodunit lover’s whodunit, packed with
everything you expect in a mystery and
a little more. “Nine Lives” is a curl-upand-read kind of book, and if that’s
what you need — there you are.
