Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Free Lecture: Concussion

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Winthrop Library

Community Meeting Room (All)

Concussion

Speaker: Rick Rapport, MD

OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE

University of Washington

A concussion is the brief alteration of consciousness, but it's a lot more than that after the event. For many years, concussions were viewed as an almost trivial, brief event. However, as in many things in medicine, times have changed. In the current understanding of concussions, these changes have been largely driven by the relatively new discovery of CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which can produce major alterations in both brain architecture and behavior. Join us to hear Richard Rapport, clinical professor of neurological surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine, discuss the latest research on concussions.

The University of Washington, OLLI-UW and the Dana Foundation have joined efforts to create a series of lectures about Brain Health. Brought to the Winthrop Library in partnership with NCWL and Methow at Home.

Librarian Murray Sampson will present the collaborative world building game “Dawn of Worlds”, covering the rules and process. Attendees will then split into groups of 4-6 to work together to create a world starting with only paper outlines. As they work through the game, the map gets filled in with colored pencils drawing major features and ecological regions and a history of the world is written. At the end of the event, attendees can take home a copy of the world they created together in the form of a photocopy of the map and all major events and features of the world. If the participants are unable to complete the full worldbuilding session in the initial meeting time, they will have the option to return to the library to complete their world at a future date.

Fast Girls: Trailblazing Women Olympians

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Winthrop Library

Learning Tree Area

At the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, Betty Robinson, a seventeen-year-old student from Chicago, won a gold medal in the inaugural offering of women’s track and field. Three years later as she prepared to defend her title at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, she was in a plane crash and believed to be dead until the mortician noticed her breathing and she was revived. Doctors told Robinson she’d be lucky to walk again and advised her to give up her Olympic aspirations. Yet at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, she was back on the podium with another gold medal.

Betty Robinson represents one of many fascinating but overlooked pioneering women Olympians. In this talk, author Elise Hooper separates fact from fiction to uncover the progress and setbacks faced by women Olympians since they first began competing in 1900.
