This little girl is a great dog all-around. She is fantastic with children, affectionate and loving. She would be best in a home without cats. She gets along with some dogs but not all, so she would need to be introduced to them prior to adoption.

Ski along the shadow of the aspens and then relax by a warm fire during the Lunar Geology Full Moon Ski on Saturday, Jan. 11 in Red Lodge.

The event, which is hosted by the Beartooth Ranger District and the Beartooth Recreational Trails Association (BRTA) will be from 6-8 p.m. at the Red Lodge Nordic Center. Refreshments are not provided, but feel free to bring your own.

Featured speaker for the event will be Dan Seifert of the Beartooth Ranger District. The talk will begin at 7 p.m. at the fire ring, and he will be speaking about lunar geology.

The Red Lodge Nordic Center is located three miles west of Red Lodge off Highway 78. From Red Lodge, follow Highway 78 to the one mile marker and turn left following Fox Road two more miles before turning right n Smith Road to the parking area.

Hiking without skis will not be permitted on groomed trails. Non-skiers can follow the luminaries and walk along the side of the trail to the fire ring. Snowshoes or pets are not allowed.

This walk is held five nights before the full moon to take advantage of the earlier moonrise. Participants may want to bring binoculars and a flashlight in case the moon does not cooperate. Anticipate the weather and dress in layers accordingly.

Participants with questions or special needs should call the Beartooth Ranger District, (406) 446-2103.

The schedule of 2014 walks is available at Forest Service offices in Red Lodge and Billings or at fs.usda.gov/custer.

ramblings

Aren’t we all just so busy socializing?

We’re all entirely too busy making friends on Facebook and connecting with contacts on LinkedIn, reading people’s blogs or watching their ridiculous antics on YouTube or better yet, “Snapchatting” to be bothered with

f a c e - t o - f a c e connectivity.

O u r a b i l i -t ies to com-municate and i n t e ra c t a r e becoming ham-pered by our inabi l i t ies to communicate and in te rac t with people in the live, living flesh.

N o w t h a t the world is all interconnected by the World Wide Web i t seems there’s l e s s a n d

less reason to interpersonally interact.

You can play games, pay bills, go shopping, make friends, date, see the world and much more that I’ve not got a clue about.

Our socialness in this socially networked world is not so social really.

Cyber-networking impairs social skills

I t ’s been dubbed “soc ia l networking.” I prefer “cyber-social networking”.

Social networking used to be going to a cocktail party and mingling with your peers – engaging in conversations and essentially interviewing people to see if you wanted to include them in your inner circle. You could look them in the eye, observe their mannerisms, gestures, weird twitches, nervous nail-biting and tenuous stammering. You had an unedited, personal, first-hand experience with them. It was real.

People who are socially impaired or lack general social graces probably fare better in this cyber-networking world. It’s like an artificial pause that they can pace, edit and shape however they want. They can take days to do it if they choose. No one’s sitting there counting the minutes, eagerly

looking to them, expecting a reply. They can just check their PM later. They can do it at their own speed. Or not.

It’s a wacky world out there – and, frankly, it’s getting wackier. Our society is impaired. This lack of actual interaction is adding more dysfunction to our world. People don’t know how to deal realistically with people anymore.

The world as a whole has gotten exponentially smaller with the advent of all of this technology and accessibility. We can now access the furthest reaches of the world with just the touch of a few keystrokes – instant connectivity and immediate “friends.”

Yep. I’m a social creature. Heck, I’ve got something like 800 friends on Facebook. Doesn’t that make me interesting?

PM me your real feelings on that. I’ll get back to you – eventually.

WINTERWiNTeR 18th18thGathering

enjoy workshops and more at library event

Page 9: January 10, 2013

10 • January • 14 pulse 9

Echo Roy Klaproth, Wyoming’s poet laureate, is the keynote speaker for the fifth annual Winter Gathering on Saturday, Jan. 18 at the Park County Public Library.

The event goes from 1-5 p.m. Klaproth’s interactive session is called “It’s Done with Mirrors – Finding Voice in a Hazy, Crazy World.” It is intended to help writers and artists answer the questions: “Why do I write or do what I do?” and “Do I have anything worth sharing?”

“For many of us the goal might be to simply have our voice expressed, while for others, it’s a desire or need to convey some message,” she says. “For me it was a need to share a heritage and save the stories of a lifestyle. The best way to get our message across – and have people feel that message is genuine and worth listening to – is to keep it real.”

To get to know Klaproth better, the library staff posed a few questions.

P.C.L.: What does a poet laureate do?

E.R.K.: Poetry as an art heralds the premier of voice. A poet laureate serves as a voice for the governor and state, the arts and the cultures within the state. Originally, poets laureate were educated entertainers (my term). I perceive my job as one who goes around the state to encourage writing, reading, sharing and appreciation of

poetry; celebrate the many and varied lifestyles we enjoy; and to show support for arts of all kinds.

P.C.L.: How long have you been writing poetry?

E.R.K.: My love for poetry – reading, writing and memorizing – began in first grade at Bates Creek School in southern Campbell County. My teacher, Mrs. Evans encouraged me in this effort. The first poem I learned was “If” by Rudyard Kipling, and I have a copy of one of the first poems I wrote that year. I’ve written off and on since then.

P.C.L.: What do you tell children about poetry? How do you make them appreciate it?

E.R.K.: I’ve found over the years that I can’t make anyone appreciate anything; all I can do is enjoy and then give voice/share that joy. It’s my hope that I serve as an example and by finding and appreciating, perhaps others will be enticed to find and appreciate.

Poetry can be presented in a way that helps others find the fun and beauty in words. And when they are encouraged and shown ways they too can play with words as a way to express themselves, it’s often “freeing” for them. They learn something about themselves that they either hadn’t dared share before or didn’t recognize in themselves. That’s exciting for all of us.

P.C.L.: Why did you choose poetry over another forms of writing to express your voice?

E.R.K.: I didn’t choose poetry; it chose me. Poems began coming to me at an early age. That doesn’t mean they were all good or worth being shared; it’s just how my muse chose to help me express myself. I was (and remain so in

many ways) a bashful person. My voice didn’t often get

expressed because of fear or insecurity. The writing of poetry served as an outlet. I wrote in diaries and later journals, but often in the form of a poem.

P.C.L.: Tell us about your family ranch? How long has the land been in your family?

E.R.K.: Our family ranch sits astraddle Campbell and Converse county lines in northeast Wyoming. We are the fourth generation to care take that particular piece of ground. Originally the ranch was part of Moore Sheep Co., but we ran cattle as well. In the

1950s, the company split into several smaller ranches, and our parents chose to continue the tradition of raising both, as did we until the 1980s. The fifth generation is running cattle and raising horses, kids and dogs.

Our family history is rare and beautiful and has served as

an impetus for my writing. I want to save the stories of our heritage and the role our family played in settling the territory of Wyoming. A great-grandfather signed the state’s constitution when we became a state July 10, 1890, another great-grandfather was the state’s first brand inspector.

We feel privileged and blessed to have been able to sustain all those years. I believe it’s important to save those stories for our kids and for history’s sake.

P.C.L.: How do you juggle ranch work and writing?

E.R. K.: I haven’t had to juggle ranching and writing; my writing is born from experience, so the work itself spawned the poems and stories I have written about ranching, the land and the people involved.

I moved from the ranch to Riverton in 1990, and so in addition to bookkeeping for the ranch for a number of years, I went back to college, spent a few years teaching, and have since been ordained as a

minister. All of those years and the experiences they held is fodder for poems and stories.

P.C.L.: Tell us about your ministry as a preacher.

E.R.K.: I believe we all have a “ministry” born from the gifts/talents/hearts we’ve been given. I love people and have a heart for helping them. My ministry was born from a couple of serious times of grief – the loss of a younger brother and then my oldest son. I recognized during those times just how important a kind word, a shared tear or a hand held can mean to one’s heart and subsequent healing.

I’d never heard the word “hospice” until 1990, but both my brother and son were in hospice care the last weeks of their lives. The care was exceptional and compassionate; the caregivers helped us survive those trials of a lifetime simply by being present. My husband and I vowed then that when we could, that’s how we wanted to give back. My husband helped build a hospice facility in Riverton, and I serve as its Chaplain.

P.C.L.: How do you keep writing from becoming a chore?

E.R.K.: It’s only a chore when I make myself go to the page or try to force something that I don’t know anything about. If I wait patiently and listen diligently, thoughts, ideas, worries, joys, etc. eventually work their way out. Then writing is pure joy.

P.C.L.: What are you working on now?

E.R.K.: I was given a book in November called, “The Greatest Gift” by Ann Voskamp. She invites the reader to do something creative every day to celebrate the 25 days of Advent prior to Christmas. Since I’m not “crafty”, I decided to respond through poetry to her different chapters and Scriptures. I now have a work (25 poems) in progress titled “I Come For You”. I anticipate it will be a small chapbook for sharing with families who are grieving and for those who are questioning God.
