SUMMARY:Waiting for the Kick- film with director Q&A
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Oregon Fringe Festival\, director Ilima Considine will be presenting her feature film musical\, Waiting for the Kick. \nOscar Wilde’s Salome is remade into a darkly comedic fever dream of a rock opera written and composed by the Ilima Considine of The Sexbots\, reset in an after hours club full of off-duty strippers\, bartenders\, and mountains of cocaine and John the Baptist is an autistic drug dealer. \nThis is a gay\, feminist retelling of Salome- retold not as a story of a man in power led astray by a teenage temptress\, but of a young girl caught in an impossible situation in a world where patriarchy forces women to objectify both themselves and others in order to survive. And yet\, in spite of everything\, young queer folk discover themselves and each other — irrepressible as dandelions growing out of a sidewalk. The 85-minute film will immediately be followed by a director Q&A.

SUMMARY:Plumbing the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument - Friday Night Talk
DESCRIPTION:The quote\, “Whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting over” has been attributed to Mark Twain and frames the controversy over western water policies. Euro-American settlement of the west cannot be separated from the moving of water from sources to distant mines\, farms\, and cities. While California is the most plumbed of all states\, Oregon has a fair share of dams\, ditches\, and water diversions — including in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. \nWestern water development went into high gear with the 1902 passage of the Newlands Reclamation Act. Under the act\, the Bureau of Reclamation began development of projects all over the west\, including the Rogue Basin Project. This project saw water storage on both sides of the Cascade Crest and deliverance of a secure supply of water to the orchards and towns in the Rogue Valley. Many projects also include flood control and hydroelectric power generation. This presentation will look at the overall history of western water development up to the current removal of dams on the Klamath River. \nJohn Schuyler is a retired forester who received a B.S. in forestry from the University of California at Berkeley. During his 32-year career with the USDA Forest Service\, he worked on national forests in Oregon\, California\, and Arizona — working in timber management\, recreation\, minerals\, planning\, and administration. \nThe Friday Night Lecture will take place at the SOU Science Building in room 161 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. \nFriends of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument is a nonprofit organization\, and our mission is to support the protection\, restoration and conservation of the monument through service\, advocacy and education. Our Hike and Learn programs are designed to introduce the public to different topics and locations within the Monument. Hike and Learns are co-created with local scientists\, historians\, artists\, students\, and more.
