\"Caz<\/a>(Cazenovia, NY \u2013 May 2015)\u00a0Book Signing: Wednesday, May 27\u00a0at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

All are invited to join author Jerome Antil in the Cazenovia Public Library Community Room as he shares his latest book\u00a0Mary Crane and the Pompey Hollow Book Club S\u00e9ance with Sherlock.<\/p>\n

This book\u00a0continues the group\u2019s spirited adventures. The club members\u2014all boys except for the steadying influence of President Mary Crane\u2014make their early-teen way through 1950s upstate New York with the help of guardian angel and former neighbor Charlie Pitts, best known as \u201cOle Charlie.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the autumn of 1953, the Book Club and friends find themselves caught up in a caper involving a former war pilot and a crafty British pickpocket, while Ole Charlie meets fellow angel and revered author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There are barn chores and barn dances, the state fair, a traveling theater group, and a grade school teacher with some pretty impressive skills as a con artist. The tone of the novel is wholesomely earnest, peppered with a dash of old-school mischief and fun. .<\/p>\n

To add to the narrative, Antil includes historical photos along with \u201cParacoustics\u201d sound effects. These sound snippets in the form of QR codes allow smartphone users to scan and hear relevant moments of action.\u00a0(Amazon.com)<\/p>\n

Antil was born in Cortland.\u00a0 He moved with his family to Delphi Falls after first grade and lived there until after eleventh grade.\u00a0 \u00a0As a result of a year his father had spent in a TB sanitarium and subsequent failed businesses, the family moved from Delphi Falls to North Syracuse and then to Milwaukee.\u00a0 Following high school, Antil went on to attend Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Antil\u2019s event is free and open to the public.\u00a0 Books will be available for purchase and signing.<\/p>\n

Movie: Friday, May 29 at 2 and 6:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Turner, described by the\u00a0Los Angeles Times\u00a0as the \u201cbest film of the year,\u201d\u00a0spans the last 25 years in the life of Britain\u2019s most revered painter\u00a0J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). The film\u00a0is a remarkably rich portrait of a complex, contradictory man whose relationships with his family, fellow artists, and lovers were often as turbulent as the canvases he painted.<\/p>\n

Throughout, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.\u00a0(Imdb.com)<\/p>\n

Mr. Turner\u00a0is rated R and runs for 150 minutes.\u00a0 Admission and popcorn are always free at the movies.<\/p>\n
