June 26, 2015
Wednesday, July 8 will kick off the 2015 Lemonade on the Lawn series at the Lincoln County Library in Libby. A program at noon on the second and fourth Wednesdays of July and August will be hosted by Libby Friends of the Library. A lunch will be offered for purchase or you are welcome to bring your own and just enjoy the program. An author, two musicians and a rousing interactive word game are scheduled throughout the summer.
The first guest will be John Nores Jr., a California Department of Fish and Wildlife Patrol Lieutenant and author of "War in the Woods: Combating the Marijuana Cartels on America’s Public Lands," who has been a game warden for 23 years. Lt. Nores has been investigating environmental crime and wildlife loss cases related to water pollution, stream alteration, habitat destruction, commercial black market wildlife sales, and all other aspects of wildlife resource crimes. "War in the Woods" has been optioned for a film, the script written and it is in production development now.
He and his team specialize in suspect apprehension, marijuana eradication, environmental restoration, marijuana public safety outreach training, in addition to handling all other high risk tactical challenges faced by game wardens today. Lt. Nores is also featured in the National Geographic channel’s game warden reality television series, "Wild Justice," now aired through three seasons, with seasons four and five filming beginning in late 2015.
On the menu for July 8 will be a pulled pork sandwich and fruit for $5.00. As always, Friends of the Library will provide free lemonade and a cookie.
Sandy Matheny Fennessy will be performing July 22. We’ll have some fun with word games on August 12 with emcee Jim Shadle a la Puzzlemaster Will Shortz. The final guest performance will be August 26 by Neal Lewing "Singing the Westward Legacy," made possible through Humanities Montana Speakers Bureau and Hometown Humanities. Partial funding for the Speakers Bureau program is provided by a legislative grant from Montana’s Cultural Trust and the National Endowment for the Humanities. All programs are free and open to the public.
