Viva Cuba: From Santeria to Son to Salsa! Please join us at the Julian branch library on Tuesday, June 13 at 6 PM as we enjoy the sights and sounds of Cuba, brought to us by Laura Klugherz. Klugherz is a Professor at Colgate University in New York and part-time Julian resident. In May, she had the opportunity to visit Cuba with some of her students. We are fortunate that she can share her knowledge and interest in not only the culture and people, and its music.
The title of this talk was sent by Laura after she returned from her recent visit to Cuba. She shared pictures and her delight of having shared her time with students and other academia. Thinking I knew that the title meant, because we had discussed the nature of the lecture, slide show and music clips, I looked up each of the words. Each has a different meaning, but in common, they all have to do with different types of music in Cuba and their influences. Laura Klugherz is a professor of Music, Africana and Latin American Studies; Coordinator of the Latin American Studies Concentration; and Director of Chamber Music at Colgate University in Hamilton New York. Her teachings of Cuba have evolved as the ban of travel to Cuba was lifted in 2016 and the United States and Cuba started interacting again. We are honored to have Klugherz back at the Julian branch library as she educates and entertains us on the history of Cuba, the island country that is only 90 miles south of the tip of Florida, and its musical origins. Join us on Tuesday, June 13 at 6 PM at the Julian Branch library. Whether you are an armchair traveler, appreciator of all things music or just want to keep yourself informed about Cuba, you will want to attend this event. For more information, please contact the branch at 760-765-0370. The Julian library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian.

(NAPSA) - Why is “Dot.,” a new original animated series on Sprout from Industrial Brothers in association with The Jim Henson Company and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, so timely and important? In 2017, 10 years after the iPhone was introduced, mobile technology has rapidly changed the way we interact with media. Children as young as 2 use tablets and phones - swiping, tapping and viewing to gain access to content. For today’s youngest digital natives, digital tools are an integral part of their lives, used in fluid ways to explore their worlds. Technology is not SEPARATE but instead a PART of their lives, an important tool that helps them play, learn, socialize and engage. Mobile interactive apps and games provide ample opportunities for children to move their bodies, learn, create digital masterpieces and explore everything and anything that captures their imagination. At the same time, in today’s 24/7 digital environment, children can use media to make impulsive choices, view material that is not age appropriate or communicate inappropriately. The benefits are great but the risks must be mitigated. When The Jim Henson Company asked me to be an advisor on preschool TV show “Dot.,” I enthusiastically agreed. The show’s creators wanted to embed digital citizenship lessons into each episode to help guide both children and parents to responsibly navigate technology. The hope is that through Dot’s experiences, children learn to harness the power of this interactive and informational medium in the most productive and pro-social manner. By starting to teach these digital citizenship skills early, parents can ensure that their children learn best practices and develop the skills they need to take advantage of the many opportunities that technology and media offer us. Each episode features a learning theme - Making, Digital Citizenship, Critical Thinking, Collaboration and Teamwork, Empathy, and Perspective Taking - and integrates a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts and math) curriculum. Five ways to help your child become a Digital Citizen: 1. The most important thing is to model good behavior. This means think about your media use and what your children see you doing. 2. Find times when the whole family has no devices - dinner table, walks to school, hikes, sport games. The most important thing is that they learn there are times that are screen free - and that it is essential to build these into our day. 3. Pick your battles. If you don’t want your teens to “unfriend” you or even worse create another page you won’t know about, don’t ask continued on page 3
