Navy designed and built capsules (also called pods) that were 1.7 feet wide and 12.7 feet tall and named them Fenix (or Phoenix). One pod was lowered into a borehole to extract the miners. This pod became the iconic symbol of this daring and successful rescue mission. After a world tour, the original rescue pod was reproduced for permanent international display, and in 2012, the Chilean Tourist Board selected the Western Museum of Mining & Industry to receive and exhibit this impressive, full scale replica weighing 1,800 pounds. At 6 p.m. Nov. 8, the museum will commemorate this addition to our collection of historically significant mining equipment with an exhibit opening celebration. Whether you followed the story in the news or are an avid mining and engineering fan, come to see this amazing mine rescue device and learn more about the dramatic Chilean mine rescue story that had the whole world holding its breath. Following the opening, stay for the Heritage Lecture on Historic Cold War Uranium Production and its Health Effects on Workers with guest speaker Ron Elmlinger. Our space is limited for this free community event, so please reserve your spot today by calling 719-488-0880, or by email at rsvp@wmmi.org.
COLD WAR lecture. During the Cold War period of our nation’s history, an arsenal of nuclear weapons and atomic fuel was produced. Many workers, who believed they were patriots contributing to this national security effort as uranium miners, became ill due to exposure to radiation and toxins. During this time Ron Elmlinger, RN/MS, served in the United States Navy for 23 years advancing from electronics technician, to engineer, and then strategic nuclear weapons officer on submarines. After retirement, he finished his studies to become a registered nurse and specialized in providing medical care to cold war workers. In 2008, Ron founded the nonprofit Cold War Patriots, organization that assists all energy employees who have become ill from working near radiologic and toxic substances. As part of the Western Museum of Mining & Industry’s continuing Heritage Lecture Series, at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 8, Ron will review this history, the illnesses it caused, and what his organization does to help workers from this Cold War period. Join us for this important educational presentation. Call 719-488-0880 or email us at RSVP@wmmi.org to secure your spot. NOV. 10 HISTORY LECTURE. Pikes Peak Regional History Lecture Series presents “Watch Us Grow: Mapping the Historical Geography of Colorado Springs” at 2 p.m. Nov. 10 at the Colorado Springs Pioneer Museum, 215 S.
