Rhoades presents in White Salmon Last in library KOOBDOOGA program series Lance Rhoades The Friends of the White Salmon Valley Community Library invite the public to attend a presentation by Seattle cinema scholar Lance Rhoades, titled “American Indians in Cinema: Partici- pation Onscreen and Behind the Scene” on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 2 p.m. in the library’s Sprint/Baker Gallery. This is the fifth and final event in a successful month-long series of Saturday afternoon pro- grams held in connection with KOOBDOOGA: Com- munity Reads 2015, inspired by the book “Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and immortal Pho- tographs of Edward Curtis” by Seattle author Timothy Egan. The public image of American Indians has been more defined by cinema than that of any other peo- ple in history. When one considers that nearly 25 percent of all films made from 1900 to 1950 were West- erns (frequently represent- ing American Indians as vi- olent obstacles to progress), the lingering implications are staggering. In his pre- sentation, Rhoades will prompt us to consider the formidable role cinema has played in producing, perpet- uating and challenging per- ceptions of American Indi- ans, past and present. Rhoades completed his graduate studies in Com- parative Literature and Cinema Studies at the Uni- ve r s i t y o f Wa s h i n g t o n , where he taught several courses on American Indi- ans in Cinema. He has also been a researcher and in- structor in the University of Washington American Indi- an Studies, Comparative Literature, Cinema Studies, and Comparative History of Ideas programs. He was a recipient of the UW’s ‘Ex- c e l l e n c e i n Te a c h i n g ’ award. Rhoades has pre- sented talks in the Middle East, Asia and Europe on cultural history in film. Each year he teaches a course in the humanities at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Rhoades lec- tures on the history of liter- ature and film in conjunc- tion with the Speakers Bu- reau of Humanities Wash- ington and he serves as a Program Director for the Mercer Island Library and Arts Council. The KOOBDOOGA: Com- munity Read 2015 project is generously supported by the Bruce and Mary Steven- son foundation, Insitu Inc., the Boeing Company, Cen- terPointe Community Bank and Friends of the White Salmon Valley Community Library.

PET OF THE WEEK Hugs is a snuggler who lives up to his name This week volunteers at Adopt A Dog have selected Hugs as the program’s adopt- able pet of the week: Hugs is about 2 years old, 12 pounds, and a Chi- huahua/Pug — or Chug. He showed up a nervous wreck, afraid to meet new people, but other dogs helped him see we were pretty cool to hang with! Hugs was brought in with Kisses and she really helped him settle down and learn to be a lap dog, and they were stinkin’ cute, but Kisses got adopted right away, leaving Hugs to find his own family. He’s doing very well in his foster home, and is quite the character! He’s playful, and can be silly and sweet, but really more of a snuggler than a player! Hugs likes to give hugs. Seriously! He nuzzles into your shoulder or neck when he’s carried, and will hug your arm of hands when being carried! It’s so cute! Hugs is a bit of a sensitive soul and needs calm, pa- tience and time to adjust, so we’re not recommending a home with small kids at this time. And leashes used to re- ally freak this poor fella out, but even that is something he’s getting used to. But he’s great off-leash, and stays with the pack, right by your side. The foster home is working on those skills and he makes improvements every day, so we’re hopeful. So, if you’d like the perfect huggable lap dog who looks at you with those big, sweet, loving eyes, doesn’t need a ton of exercise, and is house- trained, then look no fur- ther! Hugs will be waiting for your call. He’s current on shots, microchipped and will be neutered later this week. The adoption fee for this hug- gable Chug is $175. The fee to adopt is charged to recoup standard veterinary expens- es. Since many of our dogs are in foster, please call ahead to meet Hugs in Odell at the Hukari Animal Shelter 3910 Heron Drive, or call for more information at 541-354- 1083. Adoption hours are Wed., 5-7 p.m. and Sat., 9-11 a.m. You can fill out an appli- cation online at our website, hoodriveradoptadog.org, or download and scan and email to us at adopta- dog@gorge.net, or fax it in to 1-877-833-7166. We offer 24Pet- Watch microchips, which in- clude free registration into the 24PetWatch pet recovery service. For more informa- tion visit 24petwatch.com or call 1-866-597-2424. Feb. 21 — S.W.
