Enjoy this movie because it gave You food for thought.
Dear Friends,
In anticipation of “Women’s Day” - annually held on March 8, also known as the United Nations (UN) Day for
Women’s Rights and International Peace, would you be interested in seeing the foreign movie “Fill the Void”?
The film is a 2012 Israeli drama film written and directed by Rama Burshtein. In the course of its production,
she became the first Orthodox Jewish woman to direct a film intended to be viewed outside of the Orthodox
community.
The story focuses on the life of a young Hasidic Jewish woman who is pressured into an arranged levirate
marriage to an older widower. Regardless of cultural differences, the story is universal due to "its themes of
loss and family loyalty, not to mention the realization that life may not align with our idealized expectations".
“Fill the Void” was well received by critics for its depiction of Orthodox Jews and their lifestyle. It won seven
Israeli Academy Awards.
”Fill the Void” premiered at the 69th Venice Film Festival on September 1, 2012 and was later released in the
United States on May 24, 2013.
In the director's notes, Rama Burshtein wrote, "I love Jane Austen. She's romantic, intelligent, and full of
humor. … The parallel is also quite obvious in that 'Fill the Void' takes place in a world where the rules are rigid
and clear. The characters are not looking for some way to burst out of that world. Instead, they are trying to find
a way to live within it."
“..Graceful, complex, and beautifully layered,” Fill the Void” offers a sympathetic portrait of an insulated culture
by exploring universal themes…” Rating: 4.5 Stars “Rottentomatoes.com”
The film is rated PG.
Run Time: 90 minutes
And that was, my Dear Friends “Good News”, now a “Bad One”…
The movie is in Hebrew language with English subtitles.
My Question is: “Would you willing to view -”read” - this movie?”
If you DO please contact us by e-mail [email protected] or by phone # 541-783-3315
Yours Library Lady,
Lily
PS. This movie would not replace our "monthly afternoon movie" on March 29th; it will be "Last Vegas" with
Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline.

Lakeview, Ore. – The Fremont-Winema National Forest and Fremont-Winema Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) is soliciting Secure Rural Schools and Self Determination Act (SRS) Title II Program project proposals for Klamath and Lake Counties. The deadline for proposals is Thursday, March 27. The Title II Program provides funds to support watershed restoration and forest health projects for public and private lands. Eligible projects must meet the intent of the legislation and focus on restoring ecosystem health and watershed conditions through partnership development and collaboration. The Forest is expected to have approximately $1.5 million to allocate for approved projects in Fiscal Year 2014. “We strongly encourage the public, nonprofit and community organizations, as well as our federal and state partners to submit project proposals,” says Michael Tighe, RAC Coordinator. “It is important that these projects are ready to implement when the funding arrives. Approved projects will need to be completed or have funds obligated by Sept. 30, 2014.” The SRS Act of 2000 was first passed in 2001. On Oct. 3, 2008, SRS was amended and reauthorized for another four year (2008-2011). The legislation was reauthorized again in 2012 in the Helium Bill. Official RAC business could not convene without an existing charter. The new SRS Charter Amendment was approved and filed on Jan. 27, 2014, stipulating that all RAC activity around the country can now resume. The Fremont-Winema RAC represents the interests of both Lake and Klamath Counties in Oregon. It is made up of 18 local and regional members representing diverse interests. RAC members participate in evaluating and recommending Title II projects to the Forest Supervisor for funding approval.

The Phylliidae family of leaf insects contains some of nature greatest plant mimics. Native throughout south and south-east Asia to Australia, leaf insects use camouflage to take on the appearance of a leaf in order to hide from predators. They do this so accurately that their predators are rarely able to distinguish them from real leaves. In some species the edge of the leaf insect's body has even evolved the appearance of bite marks to further confound a predators gaze, but it doesn't stop there. When the leaf insect walks, it rocks back and forth, to mimic a real leaf being blown by the wind. The abdomen shows veins like leaves have and the legs are equipped with lobes. They are often bright green like a young leaf, but occasionally there are brown, yellow. There are even pinkish variants of this species. Incredibly the leaf insect is capable of regenerating lost limbs. If it loses its limb it can replace it the next time it moults. However, once it has reached its adulthood, it will no longer be able to replace the lost limbs as at this point it no longer has the capacity to moult. The difference between males and female can be sizeable once they become adult. The females are larger, thicker and wider than the males. The males are considerably smaller and slender. Adult
females have broad wings what lay flat on their back, but they lack the under-wings that are necessary for flight. The males also have very long antennae. Even when the leaf insects are still nymphs you can see the difference in body size and shape between males and females. The female has large leathery forewings (tegmina) that lie edge to edge on the abdomen and resemble, in their vein pattern, the midrib and veins in a leaf. Females are flightless and so the hindwings have no function. The male has small tegmina and ample, non-leaflike, functional hindwings. Newly hatched young are reddish in colour and become green after feeding on leaves.

How to Talk About Talking Books
Talking Book and Braille Services is a FREE library that loans books and magazines in special formats to people who cannot see standard print, cannot hold a book, or have a physically based reading disability.
But what does that really mean? Here is a handy guide to help you talk about Talking
Books!
About the Library Talking Books are not JUST for blind people. The library is available to people who
suffer from physical disabilities or illnesses that prevent them from holding a book, sitting up for periods of time, or turning the pages of a book.
Our library serves people of ALL ages. Our youngest user is 3 years old and our oldest is 104…and we have books for all tastes and interest levels!
Talking Books are completely FREE. There is no charge for the books, the talking book player, or the postage to mail the books back to the library.
Talking Books is located at the Oregon State Library in Salem. The library serves all eligible Oregonians by shipping books through the US Postal Service.
Books and Equipment What kind of books does the library have? All kinds! Our library has the same
books that are found in your public library.
All audio books in the library are narrated by professional voice-over actors.
The library has over 35,000 books in audio and 12,000 in Braille with over 100 new books added each month.
When books go out in the mail how do you know what to send? The main way that our users get books is by telling us what subjects and authors they like. They can even tell us subjects they don’t want. We call it “auto-selection.” Users can also get books by giving us lists of requests. Any time a request is available, it will go out ahead of an “auto-selected” book.
The audio books require special playback equipment—but that is provided by the library for free on “extended loan.”
What happens if the books get lost in the mail? If the books are lost or damaged
just call the library—there is no charge for lost or damaged materials.
What about the player? Same thing applies—call the library and they will replace the player right away.
By the way, all books have a 6-week loan period and there are no fines for overdue books.
In addition to audio and Braille books, Talking Books loans audio magazines and videos.

Talking Books also provides access to downloadable books (BARD), NFB-NEWSLINE (newspapers by phone), and the League of Women Voters voters’ guide (during major elections).
Registration How does a person get signed up for Talking Books? The process is very easy.
Just fill out an application for service and have the last page signed by nurse, doctor, librarian, therapist, activity director, social worker, or teacher.
If you are not sure who qualifies to sign an application for somebody, call us and ask! 800-452-0292.
Return the signed application to Talking Books. We will contact you to confirm, process the application, and put a player and a couple of books in the mail to get you started.
Downloadable Books (BARD) BARD stands for the Braille and Audio Reading Download.
All of the audio books (and most of the Braille books) provided by our library are available for on-demand download.
Download the books to a flash drive for use with the player provided, or use the BARD Mobile app on your iOS mobile device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch).
This part of our library is also FREE.
History The Library of Congress started (what would become) the National Library Service
for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) in 1931 after the Pratt-Smoot Act was passed.
This library has existed in Oregon since 1932; one year after the NLS began creating regional libraries across the country.
The library was originally called Books for the Blind and was provided by the Multnomah County Library System until 1969 when it was joined with the Oregon State Library.
Talking Book and Braille Services is a joint partnership between the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped and the Oregon State Library.

Calling all Crocheters and Knitters – Join us in showing appreciation to our troops! We are a group of crocheters and knitters who put our hooks and yarn to good use to hand make scarves and hats. We come together to share our love of crocheting/knitting and to make a difference in the lives of our Troops. Since our launch in December of 2013, we have ladies both locally and in several states crocheting/knitting for this cause. It's our goal to donate 300 hats and scarves to Operation Gratitude by September 1st 2014. Donations of yarn and hooks are welcomed and appreciated. We now have 4 drop off locations in Oregon. For more information, please contact Victoria with Linking Loops in Klamath Falls at: [email protected] or 541-882-1047.

FCE (Family and Community Education) Meetings are the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 9:30. Meetings are open to all. We have a pot luck each month along with the lessons presented by a member. For the location and directions to the next meeting, please call Sandie Bolyard at 541-892-2336. Locally, FCE raises money for college scholarships for our Chiloquin High School Seniors. Money is raised through fund-raising projects such as a Thanksgiving turkey dinner fixings raffle with tickets being sold at Kirchers Hardware; Christmas Boutique at the Chiloquin Community Center; Kaleidoscope of Learning at Mazama High School in Klamath Falls. We are very active in our community and you will find FCE volunteers at many local events. Oregon FCE is a non-profit organization of volunteers who have worked on such issues as improving sanitary requirements in hospitals, women’s labor laws, requirements for high school teachers, and funding for the state library. Nationally, we began the school hot lunch program and pushed for bookmobile libraries. FCE asked for and got money from the legislature to fund an OSU research study on the dental caries problem in Oregon. We’ve studied our county governments and monitored their activities; worked on county and state fair boards to improve their quality; sponsored programs on rural road safety, farm safety, home safety, bike safety, Defensive Driving courses, campaigns to get the drunk drivers off the road, and child seatbelt laws. Current educational programs focus on the environment, children and television, literacy, and global issues. Current concerns include addressing the growing need for food banks, for shelters for the homeless, and for reducing the violence against women and children. Oregon FCE members donate thousands of volunteer hours and dollars to these causes.

your local community. Some opportunities: 1. Story time: If you would like to read two or three stories to a small group or preschoolers, and lead them in a simple craft or activity, the library staff can use your help 2. Summer Reading Program: There are many opportunities during the summer to help out with this very worthwhile program. 3. Honor collections: these are racks of paperback books, magazines and audiovisual materials that patrons may check out without a library card. By offering these collections, more people in the community can be reached and a greater diversity of materials can be made available without incurring the costs of cataloging and processing items for the general collections. The staff would like to have some help in keeping these racks orderly, attractive and relevant. Check with the librarian for information on how to “adopt a rack”. 4. Help with sorting donations. 5. Go through Books for Sale section and tidy it once a month or so. Stop in at the library and see what they need or give them a call at 541-783-3315.
