Democracy and Religion in the Middle East (april 8 kl. 19:00)
Seth Ward, PhD. University of Wyoming diskuterer The Kite Runner.
On April 8, historian Seth Ward will offer Sweetwater County residents an informative look at challenges facing Middle Eastern democracies. Ward’s talk, “Democracy and Religion in the Middle East,” is presented by the Wyoming Humanities Council and sponsored by the Sweetwater County Library System. ... (mere)It was scheduled in conjunction with the One Book, One County program in Sweetwater County. The 2008 choice is “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini which takes place in Afghanistan. The program, which is free and open to the public, begins at 7 PM at the White Mountain Library, 2935 Sweetwater Drive in Rock Springs. For more information, contact Vicki Roth, 307-875-3615. Stable, democratic societies are often portrayed as crucial to U.S. interests in the Middle East. Elections in Iraq, voting by women in Kuwait and challenges to entrenched politicians in Egypt and Palestine all mark democratic milestones. However, the close relationship between political parties and religious factions creates a very different climate for democracy than in western countries. Ward’s presentation examines the barriers to and opportunities for Middle Eastern democracy with particular attention to the influence of religious parties on recent elections. Seth Ward teaches Islamic history and religion at the University of Wyoming. He received his PhD in Near Eastern languages and literature from Yale University. Professor Ward taught at the University of Denver, where he directed the Institute for Islamic-Judaic Studies. He has traveled to several Israeli universities as a guest lecturer. Ward will also present two humanities programs on the Middle East to Green River High School students on April 9th during the school day. Ward’s presentation is offered by the Wyoming Humanities Council through its 2008 Humanities Forum. Council programs explore the human experience—our lives, our communities, our world—in partnership with nonprofit organizations throughout Wyoming. Emphasis is placed on fostering forums for discussion among Wyoming residents. To inquire about scheduling a Humanities Forum presenter, call (307) 721-9243. Major funding for this program comes from the National Endowment for the Humanities. ###

Miss Hattie @ White Mountain Library (maj 31 kl. 19:00)
Miss Hattie promoverer reading for children.
Miss Hattie, a registered reading education assistance dog (R.E.A.D.), is available for children to read to her during April and May at White Mountain Library. Miss Hattie’s owner and handler is Kari Bollig. She is a speech-language pathologist at the Rock Springs Child Developmental Center and is ... (mere)always looking for ways to increase speech and language skills in children. Miss Hattie and Bollig have been listening to children read at the library since the first week of January. The reading program takes place after school from 4-5:30, three weeks on and three weeks off on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The remaining dates are April 1-3, 8-10 and 15-17; May 13-15, 20-22 and May 27-29. Children can read multiple times in the next two months. They register by calling or stopping by White Mountain Library. Vicki Riley, Head of Youth Services at White Mountain, says over the past couple of months she has noticed children who do not usually ask for help with reading now approach the librarians and ask if Miss Hattie is there. She says it’s almost as if the experience has given them an incentive or “courage” to read now. That’s a real plus to having Miss Hattie at the library, according to Riley. Bollig said since January two girls have read ten books to Miss Hattie and earned a free "pawtographed" book from Miss Hattie. Kailie Rees, nine years old, was the first to read ten books to Miss Hattie on March 4th. She chose “Dogku” by Andrew Clements. Korteny Gulliam is five years old. She read her 10th book on March 5th and chose “Adventures of Biscuit: Five Stories About Everyone's Favorite Puppy" by Alyssa Satin Capucilli for her “pawtographed” free book. Bollig had heard of using therapy dogs as part of the speech/language services and attended an “awesome workshop”. After being with Hattie for a few months, she realized that she would make a “perfect therapy dog” and started gearing her training that way. Hattie was tested for Therapy Dogs International (TDI) on her first birthday, July 5, 2003 in Colorado Springs and “passed with flying colors”. Bollig says, “Hattie and I were recently accepted to be an official R.E.A.D. (reading education assistance dogs) team and will be testing for registration through Intermountain Therapy Animals in Salt Lake City this summer. Currently, TDI is our sponsoring therapy dog association.” Studies have shown many benefits of reading to dogs/animals, according to Bollig. Having a one-on-one with just the dog and the handler puts kids who have trouble reading at ease. She said it allows the focus to be on the dog and not on the reader which gives the child help with reading without the pressure of reading in front of peers or teachers. Using this method in the schools has increased reading levels for children, according to Bollig. Hattie is a five-year old English Springer Spaniel who has been certified by Therapy Dog International since 2004 and R.E.A.D. team since 2007. She “works” at the Child Developmental Center and volunteers at White Mountain Library. Bollig says Miss Hattie responds to simple sign language as well as verbal commands and enjoys running, playing, swimming and going for rides. Her “all-time favorites” are milk bones, being with children, snuggling and a stuffed animal named “Mr. Bear”.

Joel Ostlind Art Exhibit (maj 31 kl. 19:00)
Joel Ostlund.
he University of Wyoming Art Museum Joel Ostlind exhibition is currently showing at White Mountain Library on the West Wall until the end of April. The 18 images are rendered in various intaglio printmaking processes from etchings to lithography. A text panel describes the exhibit. Wyoming born and ... (mere)self-taught, artist Joel Ostlind says, "I was raised in Wyoming and have chosen . . . to live in this region and work to interpret the things I value here: the light, the land, and the people who move through it." Ostlind is a master printmaker who moves fluidly through the intaglio printmaking processes of etching, drypoint, aquatint, sugar lift, and lithography. All of these processes are represented in this exhibition in addition to that of monoprint, a process of applying ink to a flat surface that results in a single, unique print. In this exhibition, Joel Ostlind, the subject is one that the artist knows well: cowboys, horses, and cattle in the open lands of the western landscape. Following in the footsteps of Wyoming's earlier cowboy-turned-artists Hans Kleiber and Bill Gollings, Ostlind draws on his cowboy life experience as the subject of his images. "I am working through my slice of life savoring the atmospheric volume, watching the light change by the hour, the seasons shift day by day. The fun for me is trying to catch, in two dimensions, enough of what refuses to be caught so that as you stand looking at these images you will remember how the light really is, where the mountains are blue like that, why the songbird sings . . . ." —Joel Ostlind Ostlind was born in Casper and lives near Big Horn, Wyoming. He has degrees in Soil Science and Ranch Management, and worked the cow camps in Texas, Wyoming, and Montana. Today, he is a full-time artist. Ostlind was the featured artist of the Coors Western Art Show in (2002, 2005), and had a solo exhibition at the Bradford Brinton Museum in 2004.
