Rocky Mountain Tales of Survival


August 30, 2017

Colorado storyteller, Kurtis Kelly, will present an evening of history re-enactments titled “Rocky Mountain Tales of Survival.” This is a free performance suitable for all ages. Among the tales will be true historic tales of pioneers who faced perilous encounters and recalled daring escapes. Homesteader Abner Sprague recounts the 1896 camping trip that left his party lost in a blizzard above timberline. The Earl of Dunraven, while on a hunting expedition, comes face-to-face with a mountain lion. Adventurer and author, Joe Mills, describes a midnight rescue on wind-whipped 14255-foot Longs Peak. A snow-blinded Enos Mills makes a dangerous descent from the Continental Divide. Kelly will also include a brief discussion of the film “The Revenant”, which has helped re-popularize survival narratives, and which has led viewers to wonder about the real-life Hugh Glass, whose life inspired the screenplay.

Healthy Lifestyles - Environmental Toxins with Kris Sampson


September 7, 2017

Is your home making you sick? Good health is not just about the food you put in your body. What you put in your body, the air you breathe and the water you drink can all have a profound effect on your health. In this talk, you'll learn about how thousands of chemicals, most of which have never been tested for safety, are used in everyday products. These chemicals are disrupting your endocrine system, mimicking hormones, damaging your thyroid and causing harm in other ways. You'll also learn about safe and effective alternatives you can use for a healthier home environment. Presented by Kristina Sampson, founder of the Vail Diet.

Evenings of Engagement - Sean Gaskill


September 12, 2017

Sean Gaskell features traditional songs on the Kora, a 21 string harp that he learned how to play throughout the course of multiple visits to its homeland in Gambia, West Africa. The music is traditionally played by oral and musical historians known as Griots (Gree-ohs). The Kora is a very melodic and seemingly peaceful instrument, which is contrary to its musical repertoire. Many songs tell ancient stories of war and hardship, while others praise people of high political status and those who helped expand the Mande empire.

While the Kora is only 300 years old, some commonly played songs can be traced back 800 years to the founding of the Mande empire. Gaskell has studied extensively under the instruction of Malamini Jobarteh and Moriba Kuyateh, both of Brikama, Gambia. He was first inspired to play by Kane Mathis, a Kora player formerly based in Seattle who has lead “The Kora Band” and “The Sahel Band”. Gaskell relocated from Seattle to Asheville, North Carolina in 2014. He has been featured at a number of music festivals in the US, Gambia, and Senegal.

Books 'n' Bites Book Club


September 13, 2017

This month's book  is "The Japanese Lover" by Isabel Allende. "The Japanese Lover" is a multi-generational epic that sweeps from San Francisco, in the present day, to Poland and the United States during the Second World War. In 1939, young Alma Belasco's parents send her, from Poland, to live with an aunt and uncle in San Francisco. There, as the rest of the world goes to war, she encounters Ichimei Fukuda, the quiet and gentle son of the family's Japanese gardener. A great friendship and tender love affair begins to blossom during this 2 year period. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the two are pulled apart when Ichimei and his family are relocated to internment camps run by the U. S. government. Throughout their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but they feel forced to hide their love. Decades later, as Alma is nearing the end of her life, Irina Bazili, a care worker struggling to come to terms with her own troubled past, meets the Alma and her grandson, Seth, at San Francisco's charmingly eccentric Lark House nursing home. As Irina and Seth forge their own friendship, they become intrigued by a series of mysterious gifts and letters sent to Alma and they piece together the truth about Ichimei and his relationship  with Alma that has endured for nearly seventy years. Sweeping through time and spanning generations and continents, "The Japanese Lover" explores questions of identity, abandonment and redemption. Written with the same attention to historical detail and keen understanding of her characters that Isabel Allende has been known for since her landmark first novel "The House of the Spirits," "The Japanese Lover" is a tribute to the constancy of the human heart in an ever changing world.

Light refreshments will be served. For more information, please contact the library at 970-479-2187 or libinfo@vailgov.com.
