SUMMARY:Barry Kraft Explores the First Folio
DESCRIPTION:Barry Kraft explores the First Folio of William Shakespeare’s plays—the first collected edition published in 1623\, 7½ years after Shakespeare’s death. \nFolio editions were large and expensive books that were seen as prestige items. Shakespeare had a hand in writing about 40 plays\, 36 of which are contained in the First Folio. This talk is part of Ashland Library’s celebration of the 400th anniversary of the First Folio’s publication. \nBarry Kraft has been an actor and lecturer at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for 31 seasons\, including dramaturging nearly 60 productions. Other acting credits include Colorado and Utah Shakespeare Festivals\, Old Globe at San Diego\, Berkeley Shakespeare Festival\, San Jose Repertory Theatre\, Shakespeare Santa Cruz\, A Contemporary Theater in Seattle\, American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco\, and Marin Shakespeare Company\, among others. He has acted in 88 full productions of 38 of Shakespeare’s plays\, more than 100 roles. Barry has written After Dinner Shakespeare and Shakespeare Insult Generator. He has recorded several books on tape\, including Ovid’s Metamorphoses.

SUMMARY:What is the Next Technological Frontier with Gerry Paschen
DESCRIPTION:Humanity is in a crucial moment of transition. The climate crisis is real. Issues of renewable energy are among the things we need to consider for a sustainable future. What technological issues regarding our generation\, distribution\, storage\, and conservation of electrical power must we prioritize at this moment? \nTechnological pioneers Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla have given us prosperity in the past with their numerous innovations\, inventions\, and patents over many decades\, from 1870 to 1940. \nLooking forward\, what innovative opportunities does the 21st century hold? How will we meet the world’s increasing need for efficient\, low carbon energy generation and distribution? \nWill Elon Musk with his enterprises help give us a secure future? Or should we put more trust in the corporate media and our elected administrators? \nDrawing from his experience and expertise as a Master Electrician and the inventor of an electric car in 1970\, Jerry Paschen will share his thought-provoking insights and ideas about quintessential questions that concern us all. Born in Berlin in 1938 and immigrating to Canada when he was 19\, Paschen has been fascinated with all matters electrical since he was a teenager\, earning his Master Electrician license in 1966. \nActive in public service while in Canada\, Jerry served on the Board of the Archaeological Society for 16 years\, and on the Provincial Government Environmental Board’s “Environmental Council” for 20 years\, proposing resolutions to the Minister of the Environment. He ran at least 16 times for civic\, provincial\, and federal elections for the Green Party\, and in 1982 was almost elected into the Cabinet. \nJerry and his wife Betty have been community members of Ashland\, Oregon for over 40 years. They bought a city lot in Ashland in 1982\, built a house and returned every winter thereafter as snowbirds. In 2003 Jerry and Betty raised $1.2 million among 60 share-holders and erected an industrial wind turbine. He and his son Syd installed numerous photovoltaic installations in Alberta\, including at the Cold Lake Airport and on Native reservations\, both on and off-grid. At present\, Jerry and his group have six anemometer stations in the Rogue Valley registering wind speeds. \nFREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland\, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14
