What do we really know of this ancient culture besides the Winter Olympics and political saber-rattling? A Japane se colony from 1910 to 1945\, Korea remained virtually unknown to the outs ide world and certainly to the United States. Americans were not keen to s upport South Korea when the Korean War started on June 25\, 1950 - indeed\ , the Korean memorial in Washington D.C. honors Americans "who answered th e call to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met." B ut defend Korea we did and Korea blossomed\, overcoming 36 years of a crue l colonization and 3 years of war. Whereas the GDP in 1960 was less than $ 100 per capita\, making Korea one of the world's poorest countries\, by 19 96 it had joined the OECD and in 2010\, it became one of the world's top 1 0 trading nations. Aside from economic strength\, Korea is a beautiful pen insula surrounded by mighty oceans and blessed with beautiful mountain ran ges housing peaceful Buddhist temples. And then there is the capital\, Seo ul: 10 million inhabitants\, a city that never sleeps\, "the miracle on th e Han" (river). Mariya Fogarasi spent four years on an American Army post in Seoul and had the incredible opportunity to pass between two different worlds and cultures brought together by fate.\n\nRegister at the Adult Ser vice desk or call the library at 734-426-4477.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dexter.lib.mi.us/wp-content/uploads/2019 /02/Korea-2.jpg CATEGORIES:Adults END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1380@dexter.lib.mi.us DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190403T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190403T103000 DTSTAMP:20181221T200224Z URL:https://dexter.lib.mi.us/events/toddler-story-time-6-2019-04-03/ SUMMARY:Toddler Story Time DESCRIPTION:Toddler Story Times for children ages 18 months to 3 years of a ge include picture\, pop-up and interactive books\, flannel-board stories\ , songs\, puppets\, finger plays\, crafts and other activities that encour age a love of reading to your child.

DESCRIPTION:Detroit was founded by the French\, taken over by the British\, and finally became an American city in 1796.  John Francis Hamtramck led the troops who took over Detroit. Detroit burned to the ground in 1805 an d the man chosen to draw up a new plan for the city\, Augustus Woodward\, named the main street after himself!  By the 1830’s Michigan applied to the U.S. Congress to become a state with a southern border based on the C ongressional Act of 1787.  This action put the City of Toledo in Michigan . The resulting conflict with Ohio led to the Toledo War of 1835 between M ichigan and Ohio.  When Michigan became a state in 1837\, the conflict wa s settled\, Ohio retained Toledo and Michigan was given the Upper Peninsul a.\n\n \;\n\nPlease register at the Adult Service desk or call the lib rary at 734-426-4477.

Different from the typical oil painting process these paints allow me to manipulate them with water and oil\, wiping out\, blotting\, etc. to create textures as well as lights and darks. I am currently painting with a monochromatic palette mixed from 3 primary colors to emphasize value wi thout the benefit of color.\n\nGelatin Plate description:\n\nFor nearly 20 years I have been using a plate of unflavored gelatin from which to print my monotypes.  Since I do not have a printing press in my home\, this un ique way of printing monotypes by hand allows for building images with man y layers of translucent/transparent ink.  Transfer of the image from the plate requires only the simple pressure of my hand.  The pliable surface of the gelatin allows the use of natural objects like leaves\, bark and gr asses and “found” objects like cheese cloth\, thread\, paper and plast ic as stencils to make clean edged images.  This method also allows me to use dry paper in the printing process eliminating the need to soak the pa per before transfer as in traditional methods.  All of my prints are done on archival papers using lightfast inks.  I use non-toxic methods of pri nting using water mixable oil paints and inks.\n\nMy work has been exhibit ed in numerous juried and one-person shows and has won awards in the Washi ngton\, DC Metropolitan area as well as in the Cumberland MD area where I resided for many years.  I have work in private collections in the U.S.\, the United Kingdom\, Germany and Japan and have done commissions for indi viduals\, churches and corporations.  I have taught classes and workshops in monotype and drawing throughout my career.\n\nwww.solitudestudio.com ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dexter.lib.mi.us/wp-content/uploads/2019 /08/1.jpg CATEGORIES:Adults END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1666@dexter.lib.mi.us DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191026T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191026T120000 DTSTAMP:20190729T195729Z URL:https://dexter.lib.mi.us/events/richard-paul-presents-ha-ha-halloween- show/ SUMMARY:Richard Paul Presents: Ha Ha Halloween Show DESCRIPTION:This non-scary\, ghoulishly funny\, spectacular autumn show inc ludes life size puppets\, magic\, music\, awesome special effects and hila rious audience participation.  For adults\, teens and kids of all ages\, registration is not required.

Dexter residents described floating discs in t he night sky.  Hillsdale College students reported strange lights flyin g over the dorms. Walter Cronkite reported the story on the national news and then-Congressman Gerald Ford called for an investigation.   J. Allen Hynek\, a U.S. Air Force consultant\, sent to investigate the sightings\, determined that “swamp gas\,” the methane released from marshy land c aused the phenomenon. Many witnesses disputed the findings.\n\nAfter 55 ye ars of secrecy\, a senior Air Force officer and fighter-interceptor pilot broke his silence to tell the truth about the world famous UFO event. Usin g official government documents\, recorded pilot testimony\, and years of research\, author and retired Air Force Engineer\, Ray Szymanski\, blew th e lid off the Government's highly questionable "marsh gas" explanation\, t hen replaced it with the truth from the pilot who lived it.\n\nMr. Szymans ki believes pilot testimony that he recorded and official records he analyzed prove that the Dexter and Hillsdale UFO sightings were not swam p gas\, but something otherworldly.\n\nRegistration is required.

Several of the individual States observed such a day\, but these were not coordinated in any way and were held any time from October through January.\n\nAdults and children alike are invited to come hear a first-hand account from President Abraham Lincoln himself abou t how our national\, annual observance of the Thanksgiving holiday came to be established in the fall of 1863\, in the midst of the Civil War. This program serves as a reminder that despite whatever difficulties we might b e experiencing we can still find reasons for which to be thankful.\n\nThis program is most appropriate for adults and for children from six years ol d on up. It runs a little under 60 minutes and is followed by an additiona l time of Q&\;A\, photos\, and informal interaction.\n\nAbout the Prese nter:\n\nMr. Lincoln is portrayed by Kevin Wood\, a professional Lincoln p resenter who bears a remarkable resemblance to “the Great Emancipator” and who is extremely knowledgeable about his life and times. Mr. Wood has been portraying Mr. Lincoln for 22 years. He has made over 1\,500 appeara nces in 31 states plus Washington DC and two foreign countries: Canada and Spain. Mr. Wood also writes a blog – “Loath to Close… Still!” – which encourages others to reflect upon and learn from President Lincoln ’s life and legacy. For more information\, visit www.mrlincoln.com.\n\nT his program will be in the Library’s Lower Level meeting room.

The intercession o f providence determined that the likes of Henry Ford\, Ransom Olds\, John and Horace Dodge\, and others called the same city home.

It consisted of four separate agencies designed to put a ctors\, musicians\, artists and writers to work in the midst of the Great Depression.\n\nThe Writer’s Project was varied in its output\, but the c entral part of their work was a series of travel guides for every state. T he objective was to produce a comprehensive snapshot of American life…a goal that was achieved with almost universal applause from literary critic s across the country.\n\nThe books contain fascinating perspectives about American life in the 1930s when much of the country was still heavily rura l and traditional mores from a pre-industrial age still abounded. Using th ese books to find the residue of that era is an experience that can make a road trip in Michigan or any other state incredibly rewarding.\n\nThe his tory of the Writer’s Project\, however\, is about much more than the con tent of the books. The difficulty in determining objectives\, assembling a nd maintaining a functioning team in the economic and political environmen t of the time as well as the practical difficulties of converting the mass ive of amount of data into useful and entertaining books is a story in its elf.\n\nAbout the presenters:\n\nJim Craft is a career consultant and loca l historian. He does research\, writing\, and presentations at various ven ues around the country. He is currently working on a series of booklets\, having completed two thus far: The Good Roads Movement\, 1888-1926\, and N ew York's Burned-over District. Future topics will include: The Chautauqua Movement\, the Great Epidemic: Influenza 1918-1919\, and others.\n\nThis program will be onsite in the Library’s Lower Level meeting room.

It consisted of four separate agencies designed to put a ctors\, musicians\, artists and writers to work in the midst of the Great Depression.\n\nThe Writer’s Project was varied in its output\, but the c entral part of their work was a series of travel guides for every state. T he objective was to produce a comprehensive snapshot of American life…a goal that was achieved with almost universal applause from literary critic s across the country.\n\nThe books contain fascinating perspectives about American life in the 1930s when much of the country was still heavily rura l and traditional mores from a pre-industrial age still abounded. Using th ese books to find the residue of that era is an experience that can make a road trip in Michigan or any other state incredibly rewarding.\n\nThe his tory of the Writer’s Project\, however\, is about much more than the con tent of the books. The difficulty in determining objectives\, assembling a nd maintaining a functioning team in the economic and political environmen t of the time as well as the practical difficulties of converting the mass ive of amount of data into useful and entertaining books is a story in its elf.\n\nAbout the presenters:\n\nJim Craft is a career consultant and loca l historian. He does research\, writing\, and presentations at various ven ues around the country. He is currently working on a series of booklets\, having completed two thus far: The Good Roads Movement\, 1888-1926\, and N ew York's Burned-over District. Future topics will include: The Chautauqua Movement\, the Great Epidemic: Influenza 1918-1919\, and others.\n\nThis program will be onsite in the Library’s Lower Level meeting room.

Myer s\, who had died the day before. “Myers\,” the author wrote\, was “k nown as an architect and the designer of a number of State Capitols and pu blic buildings.” State Capitols and public buildings.” In fact\, Myers had\, to his credit no less than five capitol designs – more than any o ther architect in American history. He also designed at least a dozen cour thouses\, and three major city halls. No other American architect did so m uch to shape the buildings in which our governments function. Among Myers ’s greatest works is the Michigan State Capitol – his first and most p ure state house\, built between 1872 and 1878. The building opened to grea t acclaim on January 1\, 1879\, and was hailed for its scandal free constr uction and clean elegance. The building helped establish the dome as a sym bol of American democracy\, and launched Myers’s national career. Myers also designed dozens of homes\, churches\, storefronts\, schools\, jails\, asylums\, libraries\, and hospitals across the country. In an era when ma ny people never ventured beyond their state lines\, he erected buildings f rom Texas to Michigan\, and California to Virginia. Yet today few people o utside of Lansing\, Denver\, or Austin have ever heard his name. Who was t his man? What circumstances brought about his success? And why is he today largely forgotten? Talented\, egotistical\, ambitious\, charming\, diffic ult\, and litigious\, Myers embodied America’s Gilded Age. Learn about h is fantastic rise to prominence – and his ultimate fall from grace - wit h Capitol Historian and Curator Valerie Marvin.\n\nAbout the Presenter:\n\ nValerie Marvin is honored to serve as the Historian and Curator of the Mi chigan State Capitol. A graduate of the University of Michigan (Bachelor o f Arts in Russian Studies\, 2005) and Eastern Michigan (Masters of Science in Historic Preservation\, 2009)\, she lives with her husband David in a 1906 home in downtown Lansing.\n\nThis program will be onsite in the Libra ry’s Lower Level meeting room.

The story of th is latest voyage is brought to life with eye opening footage from aboard t he Mighty Sparrow and weaved together with the firsthand narrative by Jero me himself.\n\nAbout the presenter:\n\nJerome Rand became the captain and owner of the Mighty Sparrow\, Westsail 32\, in late 2015.  Within two yea rs he set off on a solo non-stop circumnavigation around the world.  Afte r 271 days at sea the trip was a success and covered nearly 30\,000 miles placing Mighty Sparrow with only a handful of boats of its size to complet e the voyage.\n\nSince then\, the adventure hasn’t stopped.  In the fol lowing years Jerome added another 40\,000 sea miles to Sparrow with both g ood and not so good results.  Tropical Storms\, Pandemic Closures\, and e quipment failure have all played a big role in the various voyages over th e past three years.\n\nStarting his sailing career on the shores of small inland lakes in Northern Michigan\, Jerome never imagined just how far the world of sailing would eventually take him.  With a decade of sailing in the Caribbean as part of the Bitter End Yacht Club\, Jerome gained experi ence crewing on various yacht deliveries in the North and South Atlantic O cean.\n\nThis lecture and multimedia presentation will be approximately 1 hour with some Q &\; A time.  Families are welcome.  Registration is not required.

Dexter residents described floa ting discs in the night sky.  Hillsdale College students reported strang e lights flying over the dorms. Walter Cronkite reported the story on the national news and then-Congressman Gerald Ford called for an investigatio n.   J. Allen Hynek\, a U.S. Air Force consultant\, sent to investigate the sightings\, determined that “swamp gas\,” the methane released fro m marshy land caused the phenomenon. Many witnesses disputed the findings. \n\nAfter 55 years of secrecy\, a senior Air Force officer and fighter-int erceptor pilot broke his silence to tell the truth about the world-famous UFO event. Using official government documents\, recorded pilot testimony\ , and years of research\, author and retired Air Force Engineer\, Ray Szym anski\, blew the lid off the Government's highly questionable "marsh gas" explanation\, then replaced it with the truth from the pilot who lived it. \n\nMr. Szymanski believes pilot testimony that he recorded and offic ial records he analyzed prove that the Dexter and Hillsdale UFO sighting s were not swamp gas\, but something otherworldly.\n\nFor those interested \, a book signing will follow the presentation\, with copies available for purchase.\n\nThis program will be in the Library’s lower-level meeting room. Register on the Library’s Events Calendar or call the Library at 7 34-426-4477 (ext 120)\n\nThis program is part of the Dexter District Libra ry’s yearlong Bicentennial program - “We Are Dexter.” Every month fr om January through December the Library will host a program featuring indi viduals and groups that make up the Dexter community. These presentations will include artists\, authors\, musicians and individuals who have a hobb y\, talent\, experience or story that makes them part of the fabric of our town.

This program will look at the major highlights of screen comedy over the last 125 yea\n\nAbout the presenter:\n\nBrian Rose is a professor emer itus at Fordham University\, where he taught for 38 years in the Departmen t of Communication and Media Studies. He’s written several books on tele vision history and cultural programming\, and conducted more than a hundre d Q&\;A’s with leading directors\, actors\, and writers for the Acade my of Motion Picture Arts &\; Sciences\, the Screen Actors Guild\, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts\, and the Directors Guild of A merica.\n\nThis is a Virtual (Zoom) Event.

S ingle mother Laurel loves the lake and the town her family has resided in for generations\, but the lack of job opportunities and housing starts aff ecting her daughter\, Skye. As she struggles with rural poverty\, Laurel l earns that you need more than grit and determination to survive: you need community.\n\nAbout the author:\nEllen Airgood grew up on a farm in Michig an’s thumb\, where her favorite things to do were read books\, ride hors es\, swing in her tire swing\, and write stories. She almost left the Univ ersity of Michigan after her first year to go back home and farm\, but did return to school after her parents offered to cosign the loan for the new fencing she’d need to raise beef cattle on their eighty acres\, the onl y crop they considered feasible. (She was a vegetarian at the time.) She g raduated with a Bachelor’s Science from the School of Natural Resources and Environment and now lives on the shore of Lake Superior in the Upper P eninsula\, where she writes and owns a diner along with her husband. She i s the author of three novels published by Penguin Books\, including Michig an Notable Book and Midwest Bestseller\, SOUTH OF SUPERIOR (also featured on National Public Radio’s Radio Reader)\, the award-winning PRAIRIE EVE RS\, a Bank Street Best Book for middle grade readers\, and THE EDUCATION OF IVY BLAKE\, a companion book to PRAIRIE EVERS.

Fans o f “Downton Abbey” and “The Gilded Age” on television and film will delight as Anglophile and former U.K. resident Claire Evans recounts the tales of some of the famously loaded young Americans who infused bank acco unts of many stately homes\, including close relatives of Winston Churchil l and Princess Diana. She’ll also give travel tips if you’d like to cr eate a Gilded Age tour for yourself.\n\nAbout the author:\n\nClaire Evans is an author\, former journalist\, attorney\, and college lecturer who sta rted her love of most things British as she and her mother watched countle ss Britcoms on PBS. She studied abroad in London and\, against the odds\, she married a Brit she met in Peoria\, Illinois. They lived in England for a number of years. Her business\, Tea with Claire\, grew from friends ask ing for travel advice. Her memoir\, High Tea and the Low Down\, is the tr ue story of what it's really like to marry a witty Englishman and move to Britain.\n\nThis program will be on Zoom.

Accidents\, drug overdoses\, plane crashes—all have t aken the lives of male rock stars still in their primes. But what became o f their widowed brides? How did they survive a loss so great?\n\nFormer De xter resident Lori Tucker-Sullivan spent seven years locating and intervie wing the widows of her favorite rock stars after the death of her husband Kevin in 2010. Previous to her life as an author\, Lori was known as part of the family that renovated the Henes farmstead in Dexter Township. Named one of the Library Journal’s Best Nonfiction of 2024\, I Can't Remembe r if I Cried: Rock Widows on Life\, Love and Legacy\, chronicles fourteen widows of Lori's favorite rock stars and what they taught her (and can tea ch all of us) about grief. Though she studied music journalism in college\ , she took a different path\, including purchasing the abandoned farmhouse in Dexter. After Kevin's passing\, she knew that returning to music writi ng would provide a way forward. Writing the book allowed her to learn abou t the rock stars she'd have written of\, but now through the lens of the w omen who loved them. In this presentation\, Lori will speak about writing the book\, share behind-the-scenes stories\, and discuss her full-circle p ath beyond grief to a life of creativity and wonder.\n\nAbout the presente r: Lori Tucker-Sullivan is a freelance writer and editor whose work has ap peared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Modern Loss\, and Pas sages North. Her essays “Detroit\, 2015” and “Time\, Touch\, and a W hale’s Grief” were both nominated for a Pushcart Prize and listed as a Notable Essays in the Best American Essays series. Since her husband’s death\, Lori has written of the widowhood experience at the blog The Widow ’s Apprenticeship. She is also a former bookselling professional who unt il recently served as Executive Director of the Independent Booksellers Co nsortium\, Inc. She lives in Detroit\, MI.\n\nThis program will be in the Library’s lower-level meeting room. Registration is appreciated\, but no t required.

This talk will share some of the key a spects of the ancient Mayan society but it will be done primarily as the s peaker recounts his travels through the Mayan world over the past ten year s.  While some locations (Chichen Itza and Tulum) are among the standard tourist destinations in Mexico\, most of the sites are a bit off the norma l tourist track and some are a bit of adventure to visit.\n\nPerhaps the m ost interesting feature of this exploration is that knowledge of the Mayan world is in its infancy. In the coming years our rudimentary knowledge of the Maya will be greatly expanded. It is exciting to become a part of tha t process if only as a spectator.\n\nAbout the presenter: Jim Craft is a c areer consultant and local historian. He does research\, writing\, and pre sentations at various venues around the country. He is currently working o n a series of booklets\, having completed two thus far: The Good Roads Mov ement\, 1888-1926\, and New York’s Burned-over District.\n\nThis program will be in the Library’s lower-level meeting room.

Mr. Mulherin addresses the impact of the pandemic\, climate change\, and tou rism on northern Michigan in this microcosmic look at the phenomenon that ’s occurring in communities throughout the Great Lakes region and other high-demand scenic areas in the United States. The author spent  more th an a year researching and interviewing nearly 90 experts in their respecti ve fields\, including tourism\, agriculture\, viticulture\, law enforcemen t\, commercial and recreational fishing\, marine science\, environmental law\, nature conservation\, astronomy\, government\, retail\, real estate\ , and journalism and met with representatives of the National Park Service \, Michigan Department of Natural Resources\, U.S. Coast Guard\, and memb ers of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians.\n\nAll weig hed in on the profound changes that have come to northern Michigan — whi ch are accelerating and all looked critically to the future we need to bui ld together: intentionally\, thoughtfully\, and creatively to preserve cul tural traditions and protect the environment\, and to evolve in the most c onstructive way possible — no small undertaking.

The loss of the side-wheeler Sunbeam on Lake Superior\, t he wheelmen on the Western Reserve and the Equinox were also the last of t he crew to tell what happened. But perhaps it’s the legendary stories fr om the masters of the ships that seem nearly impossible- as tradition usua lly submits the skipper to go down with his ship. This wasn’t the case f or Capt. Neal on the Myron in 1919 or the man who saw his wife and child l ost when the Nelson was also lost on Superior’s shipwreck coast. Two cap tains were the sole survivors when their ships were lost to Black Friday  in 1916\, and Capt. Jerome Kiah was the only lifesaver to float ashore a fter a tragic rescue attempt off Michigan’s Thumb. Ric Mixter shares the se stories and his longtime friendship with the only crewman found alive w hen the Daniel J. Morrell was lost in November of 1966.\n\nAbout the prese nter:\n\nRic Mixter was awarded for 20 years of maritime preservation by the Association of Great Lakes Maritime History.  He has produced over 30 shows on local history for PBS and the Outdoor Channel and has appeared o n the History and Discovery Channel as a shipwreck expert\n\nThis program will be in the Library’s Lower Level meeting room.

Whether for commerce or recreation\, the lakes and the straits that connect them have imparted a special chara cter to the communities along their banks and beyond. Step aboard and take a look at the fascinating world of steam travel in the first half of the twentieth century\, when majestic luxury liners were a regular sight on th is\, one of the world’s great waterways. Along the voyage\, you’ll mee t the genius naval architect that directed their design and construction\, the businessmen that commissioned and operated them\, and the passengers who enjoyed the sumptuous com- forts they provided to travelers. Look back in amazement at a glittering world of steam\, speed\, and luxury that has all but disappeared from our lakes and rivers today—and along the way\, enjoy a greater understanding of these forgotten wonders of our maritime heritage.\n\nAbout the presenter:\n\nHamtramck\, Michigan born Bruce Allen Kopytek nurtured his love of history while achieving two degrees in Archi tecture from the University of Detroit. He built a career that lasted fort y-five years and resulted in a number of significant buildings spread thro ughout the world.\n\nIn retirement\, Bruce launched Editions BK\, LLC in 2 022 to publish books on topics that have fascinated him through-out his li fe.  After the wild success of his Hudson’s: Detroit’s World-Famous D epartment Store\, now in its third printing\, he published The D &\; C Lake Lines and the Fabulous Luxury Liners of the Great Lakes.

But in the late 1600s\ , many Quakers were slaveholders themselves. It took energy and activism o n the part of a small number of activists within this faith group to disru pt that status quo and steer their church towards an outspoken commitment to Black freedom. This lecture tells that story\, focusing in on the 1688 Germantown Protest as well the later crusades of three 18th-century Quaker men—Benjamin Lay\, John Woolman\, and Anthony Benezet.\n\nAbout the Pre senter:\n\nRichard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryl and and author of the book Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery a nd their Astonishing Odyssey Home which was a finalist for the George Wash ington Prize and the Harriet Tubman Prize. He has held major research fell owships at Yale\, Cambridge\, and the Library of Congress and is the recip ient of the National Endowment of the Humanities Public Scholar award and the Andrew Carnegie Fellowship.
