SUMMARY:The Roots of September 11 and the Changing Face of Terrorism
DESCRIPTION:Terrorism Expert to Discuss Domestic Terrorism on September 11 \nIn person and by Zoom at Cary Memorial Library \nThe first major foreign terrorist attack on the U.S. mainland occurred on September 11\, 2001. The US responded with all its might. Since then\, not one such attack has occurred on US soil. \nAccording to Professor Emerita Edith Flynn\, who focused on terrorism for more than 20 years at Northeastern University\, international terrorism remains a significant threat\, but our most pressing terrorist threat today comes from within our own borders in the form of disenfranchised\, polarized and alienated far-right citizens\, radicalized and recruited mainly through social media and the internet\, emerging as domestic terrorists. \nOn Monday\, September 11 at Cary Memorial Library and on Zoom\, Dr. Flynn will analyze the roots of domestic terrorism and the US successes and failures in fighting it. She will examine the social\, political\, and economic costs of the U.S. counterterrorism response and suggest ways and means for counteracting this trend. Sponsored by the Lexington Veterans Association\, the program is free and open to the public with coffee and conversation at 12:45 and the program at 1:15 p.m. Register for the Zoom portion at carylibrary.org/programs.

SUMMARY:Living Well with Parkinson’s Disease with Anne Muskopf\, OTR/L
DESCRIPTION:Over 90\,000 people are estimated to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) in the US this year\, so chances are good that you know someone who has been affected. The 2023 Emmy nominated documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie has illuminated the courage and strength present in the people living with the disease from day to day. Many people associate PD with having a tremor but it’s a much more complex disease with many symptoms being invisible\, and it changes over time. How can someone with PD live well\, and how can you as a friend or family member support them? \nAnne Muskopf\, veteran Occupational Therapist and Director of the Charlotte & Richard Okonow Parkinson’s Family Support Program at Jewish Family & Children’s Service in Waltham will present a practical and holistic approach to living well with Parkinson’s Disease.

SUMMARY:Making Paper\, Sowing Seeds\, Considering Environment
DESCRIPTION:Korean Cultural Society of Boston (KCSB) will present Making Paper\, Sowing Seeds\, Considering Environment at LexArt (130 Waltham Street\, Lexington)\, on October 7-22\, 2023\, a special exhibit featuring the work of Jongkuk Lee\, a renowned nature artist\, who specializes in Hanji (Korean traditional paper). His materials are sourced from nature\, even from his homegrown\, paper mulberry trees. He is currently based in Cheongju\, South Korea\, where he serves as Director of Mabuel Gallery. \nIn the 1990s\, Lee settled in Bulat Village near Cheongju\, which was long famous for its tradition of making Hanji\, but as the demand for Hanji declined due to urbanization and industrial development\, few were left in the village to continue the tradition. Lee’s passion for making Hanji\, as well as his perspectives on the creative process as part of nature’s symbiotic relationship with humans\, has been a driving force for the revitalization of Hanji in the village. \nLee prompts us to reflect on how we can turn natural resources into artwork and commodities. He strives to create objects by examining the qualities and usability of different natural materials such as bamboo and silver grass (common reed). This approach to art is his way of responding to the current global ecological crisis. \nThis exhibit will showcase Hanji scrolls\, screens\, and handmade 3D works with various materials. There will also be an outdoor installation in collaboration with two other artists. \nBelow is the full event lineup:\nExhibit: Making Paper\, Sowing Seeds\, Considering Environment – Sat.\, 10/7 – Sun.\, 10/22\nArtist Talk: Thursday\, October 5\, at 7pm\nInteractive Workshop: Friday\, October 6\, at 1:30pm\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, October 7\, at 3-5pm

SUMMARY:Cary Lecture Series Presents Sol Gittleman\, An Accidental Triumph: The Improbable History of American Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Hardly a day passes without criticism of American higher education. Supreme Court decisions on admissions and student debt\, ideological attacks on faculty and curriculum\, anxiety about the cost of college\, and the fake athletic admissions scandals have all taken their toll. But there’s another side to this story. America has created\, mostly by accident\, a higher education enterprise unlike any in the world with a $36 BILLION trade surplus. In the years after WW II\, American faculty have dominated in Nobel Prizes\, while millions of international students attend American universities. We have become—and continue to be—the envy of the world despite recent hostility in our own country. How did this happen? \nSol Gittleman is a Tufts Professor Emeritus\, past Provost\, and prolific author of 6 books\, including Reynolds\, Raschi and Lopat: New York’s Big Three and the Great Yankee Dynasty of 1949-1953 and From Shtetl to Suburbia: The Family in Jewish Literary Imagination
