The Palmer Lake Arts Council has commissioned an original play, which has been written and is now casting, to be performed at Palmer Lake Town Hall the first weekend in October. The play is titled, “Romance at the Chautauqua” and is written by Colorado Springs-based playwright Richard Sebastian-Coleman.
The play is a melodrama which follows the character Ada Lucille Thompson, the daughter of Palmer Lake founder and first mayor Dr. William Finley Thompson, who in real life mysteriously disappeared in 1891. Ada was a teen when her father disappeared and not knowing the exact details around it, she has been investigating the disappearance for the past 10 years.
Romance at the Chautauqua is an original one-act play written by Richard Sebastian-Coleman and directed by Gerrie Walker-Champe. Set in 1901, the light-hearted melodrama features real-life characters from Palmer Lake's past, including the town’s namesake, General William Palmer, who swoops in just in time to give the play a very happy ending.
Local actors bring back the days when Palmer Lake’s Chautauqua Assembly was the place to be in Colorado in the summer.
The Nordberg Stamp located on the grounds of WMMI is one of two remaining examples of this type of vintage rock crushing machine that was used predominately in the copper mining belt in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Mr. Phillips is a graduate of Michigan Technological University, also located in the same historic mining region. After attaining an engineering degree in 1968, he was employed for 45 years in mining and mineral processing activities. During his university years, the copper mining industry was still active in Michigan. This exposure instilled an intense interest in mining and metallurgy and, in particular, the historically important and textured history of Michigan copper mining. Mr. Phillips worked as a student engineer during the summer of 1967 in the last operating stamp mill in the US and witnessed the operation of the Nordberg steam stamps and associated copper concentrating equipment. The stamps fell silent forever fifty-four years ago this year. Their activity, sounds, vibrations, and smell exist only in the memory of those that were there.
Lecture on the Nordberg Steam Stamp:
The subjects Bob Phillips covers in this lecture will include a range of related topics for the purpose of placing such machines in the context of time and purpose. The lecture will provide insight as to the physical placement of the stamps and the nature of their function within the ore-milling process.
Topics included in his talk will include:
• Geology of the Michigan copper deposits
• Characteristics of the copper deposits
• The nature of stamps, how they work
• History of stamp development
• The big stamp mills
• Details of the WMMI stamp
Examples of native copper that was mined in Michigan will be displayed at the lecture to enhance the understanding of the evening’s topic. more info...
