SUMMARY:Extreme Heat: Myths\, Risks\, and What Communities Can Do 
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ashley Ward\, PhD\n\nExtreme heat is now the leading cause of weather-related death in the United States\, yet it remains one of the least understood climate risks. Many people still assume heat only affects large cities\, that air conditioning alone solves the problem\, or that heat is mainly a comfort issue rather than a serious health and economic threat. In this talk\, Dr. Ashley Ward\, Director of the Heat Policy Innovation Hub at Duke University’s Nicholas Institute\, will explore the growing impacts of extreme heat on health\, infrastructure\, and local economies. She will unpack some of the most common myths about heat risk and explain why communities across North Carolina\, including rural towns\, are increasingly vulnerable. The conversation will also highlight practical tools communities can use to prepare for heat season\, including emerging heat alert systems\, local cooling strategies\, and resources available to residents\, local governments\, and community organizations. Finally\, the talk will explore policy opportunities at the state and national level that could help communities better manage rising heat risks in the years ahead. This session is designed to provide residents with a clearer understanding of heat risk and actionable ideas for how communities can respond together. https://nicholasinstitute.duke.edu/people/ashley-ward

SUMMARY:Returning to the Source: An Intro to Permaculture
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Omar Rezk Orange County Public Library 137 W. Margaret Lane\, Hillsborough\n 5:30pm – 7:30pm\n In this introductory workshop\, you’ll explore the ethics and principles of permaculture and start reflecting more deeply on the issues we face as humankind: like ecological and ethical degradation\, food sovereignty\, and community health. This workshop isn’t just about gardens. It’s about building community\, deepening ecological literacy\, and reconnecting with the cycles that sustain us all. Omar Rezk comes from many worlds and is an expert at weaving them together. Egyptian born and raised in North Carolina\, he blends the hospitality and cultural depth of the Middle East with the curiosity and creative expression of the American spirit. Raised in Hurdle Mills\, he now homesteads in Hillsborough where his work centers on land\, food\, and community. Omar is certified in both permaculture design and permaculture education\, approaching land stewardship through regenerative principles that cultivate healthy ecosystems and connected communities. After working as a trained immunologist for a biotech firm in Houston\, Texas\, he returned to North Carolina to focus on land-based work. Today he runs Harvest & Trim\, a tree service company guided by permaculture principles\, and co-runs Farmer & Poet LLC with his wife Amal Kassir (Hillsborough Poet Laureate)\, a creative programs and consulting company rooted in land stewardship and community.

SUMMARY:Classic Film: Chaplin's "City Lights"
DESCRIPTION:The HILLSBOROUGH CLASSIC FILM SOCIETY’s holiday movie this year will be Charlie Chaplin’s “City Lights:” Sunday\, December 7th\, at 2pm.  Please notice the location: this month only\, the film will be shown at the ORANGE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY on West Margaret Lane in Hillsborough. \nChaplin made the film in 1931\, resisting the advent of sound just after talkies began to appear. In the essay that accompanied the Criterion restoration of the film\, Gary Giddins called it “an indelible masterwork of cinema\,” and noted that now\, nearly a century after its release\, it seems safe to call it a masterwork of Western civilization as well: \n“City Lights …  represents both a beginning\, in that it has been endlessly imitated\, and an end\, in that it has never been superseded. … Chaplin’s new art was a form of storytelling combining burlesque comedy and dreadful pathos\, each tuned to a pitch so high that the audience is jolted from one physical response to another: laughter and tears\, the two faces of Comedy and–not Tragedy but rather–the melodramatic concession of Pathos …. Familiar territory today\, but …  no one had brought it off before\, and Chaplin–the orphaned music hall clown who became\, through movies\, the most popular comedian the world has ever known–defied his partners warnings that his ambition would cost him his audience.” \nIt didn’t cost him his audience\, of course. Chaplin\, “the orphaned music hall clown\,” became\, through movies\, “the most popular comedian the world has ever known.” \nFrancesca Talenti will introduce the film and lead the discussion afterwards. Francesca is a Professor Emerita of Media Production at UNC-Chapel Hill. She is a filmmaker and animator\, a director and a media designer who has exhibited her work from The Folger and the Guthrie (design\, Hamlet\, Pericles)\, to Sundance\, to PBS National\, by way of Mumbai\, Göteborg\, Casablanca\, and many others. She has won 18 awards and has received numerous grants. She’s led the discussion for us on Vertigo (2019); Top Hat (2022); The Searchers (2023) ; West Side Story (2024); and a Christmas program of Chaplin films back in our second year of operation\, 2019. <www.FrancescaTalenti.com> \nAs always\, the film is open to the public and free\, and the popcorn is free too. If you would like to attend\, please sign up by going to our website\, <www.hillsboroughclassicfilms.com>\,scrolling down to the line “PLEASE REGISTER HERE\,” and clicking on the link. \nAnd\, once again\, please don’t confuse the location: this month only the film will be shown in the Orange County Public Library\, 137 West Margaret Lane in Hillsborough. (A  note for those who are helped by the presence of  subtitles: Since this is taking place in the Library Meeting Room subtitles would be difficult or impossible to see; luckily this is\, by and large\, a silent film.)
