Sing a Healthy Songat Summer OLLI Classes

While you probably can remember and relate to Nat King Cole’s ’60s hit extolling “those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,” this might be the year to change your tune to the “fi est, fastest, smartest” by taking advantage of OLLI’s many health-enhancing classes.

It’s certainly not news that physical ac vity and weight control are primary factors in living longer and living well. Two courses that directly address these issues are “Weight Control, Energy Balance and Physical Fitness” led by Dr. Bill Fla , UGA D.W. Brooks Dis nguished Professor Emeritus, and “Ac vity, Weight and Disability” taught by Dr. Ellen M. Evans, UGA associate professor of kinesiology.

Fla ’s success story of losing 60 pounds and keeping it off for 20 years should be an inspira on to all those whose New Year’s resolu ons for fi tness dwindled by the end of January. “My class will be a ‘show and tell’ by a formerly sedentary, obese, elderly male (me), who changed his lifestyle by beginning to exercise regularly and eat more wisely,” Fla says. “A major change was to include strength training to prevent age-related muscle loss and sarcopenia. I hope that the OLLI members who a end will benefi t from my experience.”

Evans’ class will look at lifestyle choices that aff ect physical func oning and the ability to live independently. Quality of life and fa gue are infl uenced by both weight and physical ac vity, which also have implica ons for physical disability in older adults. Evans will present contemporary research that par cipants can apply to their own lives.

The ancient discipline of Tai Chi is a great way to give your fi tness program a boost. Cer fi ed facilitator Tom Wi enberg will introduce the fl owing moves that promote “vitality, self-healing and relaxa on.” Benefi ts include improved balance, lower blood pressure, heightened immune func on, greater fl exibility and resilience, decreased incidence of falls and stress reduc on.

For those who are dealing with chronic health condi ons such as arthri s, diabetes or heart disease, “Living Well Georgia” can help with quality of life. Ka e Porter, UGA doctoral candidate for a Ph.D. in Foods and Nutri on, will coordinate a team of trained leaders in a six-week program focusing on physical and emo onal management.

If you need a break from all this focus on the physical, this summer OLLI is off ering many other courses from Dr. Art Crawley’s “Brain Works” to a repeat of Mony Abrol’s popular course “India” to “Taming the Demons of Dripping Faucets, Slow Drains, Yucky Mildew, Dirty Grout and Ugly Light Fixtures” at Home Depot.

OLLI@UGA Q&A: Summer 2011How are course fees determined?

All courses have a fee of $5.00 per class session. If the course is held at the Central Presbyterian Church (CP) or the Athens Community Council on Aging (CA), there is an addi onal $1.00 per class session facility use fee. When taking classes at River’s Crossing, you must pay to park ($2.00 per day per vehicle parked).

Why are there two registra on forms but only one payment form?At some mailing addresses there are two OLLI members. Each member needs his or her own registra on form but the payment for both can be recorded on the same payment form.

What happens if I register for a class and it is cancelled?When a class is cancelled, the facilitator or registrar will no fy the class members. At that me, you may indicate whether you would like a refund or if you would like to donate your class fees to OLLI@UGA. Because parking fees are separate, you must turn in your parking tags to the OLLI offi ce in order to receive a refund for the parking fees.

What happens if I register for a class and the schedule changes and I cannot a end?

When a class is rescheduled, the facilitator or registrar will no fy the class members. At that me, you may indicate whether you would like a refund or if you would like to donate your class fees to OLLI@UGA. Because parking fees are separate, you must turn in your parking tags to the OLLI offi ce in order to receive a refund on those fees. If YOUR schedule changes and you cannot a end a class for which you have registered, you may “gi ” your registra on to a fellow OLLI member. OLLI@UGA policy states that if you cannot a end a class, you must no fy the OLLI offi ce no less than 10 days prior to the start of the fi rst class in order to receive a refund.

Why is my email wrong/missing on the class sign in sheet?A endance sheets are generated from our registrar. She takes the informa on that is provided on the registra on form to complete the class rolls. We appreciate when you take a moment to make sure that you have completely and legibly fi lled out the top por on of the registra on form.

How come my name is not on the class sign in sheet?If you register for a class less than two weeks prior to its start date, there is a good chance that your name will not be on the class roll. In addi on, you will not receive informa on regarding the course prior to the fi rst session. Simply bring in your confi rma on form that we have mailed back to you or, if you have paid in the offi ce, bring your receipt to the fi rst day of class.

I’ve already paid for my parking tags, but forgot them at home; why do I have to pay again for another one?

OLLI @ UGA pre-pays for EVERY parking tag it receives. This represents a signifi cant cost to the organiza on. We suggest checking with a fellow classmate to see if one can be borrowed and then replaced at the next class session or you may stop by the OLLI offi ce to purchase a new one and use the one you forgot for a future class.

Ac vity, Weight & DisabilityCourse # 1411

Ellen M. Evans, PhDDate: Tuesday & Thursday, July 12 & 14, 2011

Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM Loca on: Ramsey Student Center

2 sessionsCost: $10

Physical Ac vity and Weight Status: Implica ons for Physical Disability in Older Adults

A goal for successful aging includes remaining highly physically func oning and living independently. Weight status (being normal weight or overweight) has major implica ons for the risk of physical disability. Physical ac vity is also an important lifestyle factor that relates to physical func onal ability. Quality of life and fa gue are also infl uenced by both weight status and physical ac vity, especially in the older adult. This presenta on will highlight how the main components of body composi on (fat, lean and bone mass) impact risk for physical disability through chronic condi ons such as obesity, sarcopenia and osteoporosis which are prevalent in the older adult popula on. Lifestyle choices, such as physical ac vity and nutri onal habits, can have major impacts on the pathways between body composi on components and physical disability. Contemporary research will be presented in a format that will allow concepts to be applied to one's life. In addi on, as the course will be off ered in the Ramsey Center within the Department of Kinesiology, an opportunity will be available to experience some of the research methodologies used in our labs. This course is limited to 20 par cipants.

Ellen M. Evans, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology. She also serves as Director of the Center for Physical Ac vity and Health and the Body Composi on and Metabolism Laboratory. As an applied exercise physiologist, her goal is to create and disseminate knowledge regarding the importance of exercise and nutri on for op mal body composi on and health with a special research focus on aging and women’s health. Assis ng Professor Evans will be Chris e Ward, MS and Anne O'Brien, doctoral students working with Dr. Evans.

1 sessionCost: $5 plus parking

Using Advance Direc ves (Living Wills and Health Care Powers of A orney) to Avoid Family Stress and Confl ict

Georgia law recognizes advance direc ves (aka living wills and health care powers of a orney) as a valid way for Georgia ci zens to plan for how they want to be cared for and who they want making health care decisions for them in the event that they become incapacitated. Properly used, advance direc ves are an extremely powerful tool for making sure your health care wishes are honored, and for reducing stress and confl ict in your family. Yet, a surprising number of people do not have any advance direc ves in place.

This workshop will cover the basics of what advance direc ves are, and what steps you need to take to put advance direc ves in place for yourself. It will also provide ps and strategies for discussing your advance direc ves with family members once you have determined what your wishes are. A materials supply fee of $2.50, payable to the presenter, will be collected prior to the start of class.

Alex Halow is a mediator, helping people se le lawsuits and other confl icts, and a confl ict management consultant based in Athens, Georgia. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy and English in 1991 and from the University of Cornell Law School with a J.D. in 1995. He is a trained mediator and is a registered neutral with the Georgia Offi ce of Dispute Resolu on. His media on prac ce includes working with older Americans and their families to resolve confl icts over issues surrounding aging.

CaravaggioCourse # 1402

Carolyn AbneyDate: Monday, July 11, 2011



Caravaggio – The Bad Boy (and founder) of Baroque Art

Michelangelo Merisi di Caravaggio astounded everyone who knew him – or his work. Patronized by Cardinals, Popes, and the head of the Knights of Malta, he (may have) invented s ll life as a genre. His altarpieces o en startled the groups who commissioned them – wouldn’t you be stunned to see the face of Rome’s best known pros tute presented as the Virgin Mary?

He fl ed Rome a er killing a man over an argument about a tennis game and was pursued by the Pope’s police. But he s ll managed to paint giant works openly in Naples, Malta, and Sicily. And the only one he signed looks as though his signature is in his own blood. Who said the late 16th century was dull?

Carolyn Abney said that, a er she received her BA in Humani es from Emory, reality set in. “That is, I needed a real job! A variety of business degrees and adventures later, I had the opportunity to go back to that fi rst love - art history. I studied at the Courtauld Ins tute of Art in London. In Florence, I was able to study under Drs. Rab Ha ield and Jennifer Cook at Syracuse University as well as with John T. Spike, author of a book on Caravaggio that was 20+ years in the making. Since none of them can be in Athens this summer, I'll draw on what I learned to introduce you to the single painter whose name is men oned (so it is said) as o en as Rembrandt's.”

Weight Control & Physical FitnessCourse # 1412

Dr. William “Bill” Fla Date: Wednesday, July 27, 2011



Weight Control, Energy Balance and Physical Fitness

Obesity is a major health risk problem in America and is becoming more and more prevalent. Type 2 diabetes is one of the risks and is not only increasingly prevalent in older obese adults, but even in teenagers and middle school age children. What can be done to prevent obesity? Reducing caloric intake and increasing physical ac vity (energy expenditure) are the recommended solu ons. Dr. Fla will discuss his personal experience in losing over 50 pounds of body fat and maintaining the lower body weight for over two decades. He will describe the importance of physical ac vity, including strength training in preven ng age-related loss of muscle (sarcopenia).

Dr. William P. (Bill) Fla , D.W. Brooks Dis nguished Professor Emeritus, has been a UGA faculty member since 1969. He served as dean and coordinator of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences from 1981-1994, and previously as director of the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Sta ons (1970-1981). He received his Ph.D. in animal nutri on, biochemistry, and physiology from Cornell University in 1955, and he was head of the USDA Energy Metabolism Laboratory in Beltsville, Md., from 1956-1969. In 1994 he began teaching human nutri on in the Foods and Nutri on Department and animal nutri on in the Department of Animal and Dairy Science. He has received many na onal awards for his energy metabolism research, and was recently named a Fellow of the American Society for Nutri on for “the visionary leadership he demonstrated during and a er his service as research leader of the energy metabolism unit at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the more recent penetra ng studies of energy balance and obesity and lep n ac ons he and his colleagues have reported.”

What Is Synchronicity?

Just what is synchronicity? Could it be related to Astrology? The Tarot? The I Ching? What signifi cance does it have for understanding the real world? If you are interested in exploring any of these topics, you can do it together with others of like interest.

PLEASE PURCHASE AND READ: Synchronicity: Through the Eyes of Science, Myth and the Trickster by Allan Combs and Mark Holland and/or Synchronicity; The Bridge Between Ma er and Mind by F. David Peat.

This group meets on the fi rst and third Wednesdays from 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. at the ACCA, 135 Hoyt St. If you are an experienced player and would like an a ernoon of cards without the fuss of se ng up tables, making snacks and drinks (coff ee is available), we invite you to try our group.

BicyclingJohn Songster [email protected] 706-548-8181

The interest group was organized in the summer of 2007 and started riding ac vi es in the fall. Over the past two years, more than fi y members have par cipated. The original theme s ll holds true. “For those who long to take the drudgery out of health club exercising or want to start a fi tness program that perpetuates itself, a new opportunity to get back on a real bicycle is s ll available.”

The health benefi ts of cycling are well known and Athens off ers a wonderful environment for safe, fun biking. Although one may need to get some of the kinks out and polish riding skills, the ability to ride a bike is never lost once learned. The group will a end to those needs as well as help people get old bikes up and rolling again and advise them on new bike op ons. We also conduct “get started again” instruc on and introductory rides that will help par cipants develop their cycling growth to whatever level they wish to achieve.

Local and nearby out-of-town rides over longer distances are organized during the year for those who enjoy socializing along with their pedaling. New fresh legs are especially welcomed.

BonsaiClaire Clements [email protected] 706.548.0211 Winnie Kelly 706.548.1418

The Bonsai interest group was formed in the spring of 2003. The informal group meets on the 4th Thursday of each month, from 2:30 to 4:30 PM in the Brick Room at the ACCA on Hoyt Street. Bonsai, literally translated, means po ed tree. Members bring suitable plant materials to pot, or those already po ed which they wish to exhibit or discuss. We have a small library of specialty books which may be borrowed. Field trips are made to a variety of places of interest to the group, that are within driving distance, where plants, plan ng materials and specialized tools may be purchased.

Book Discussion GroupDiana Cerwonka [email protected] 706.543.7780

The Book Discussion Group meets on the second Thursday of the month in the conference/boardroom (off the lobby of the administra on building) at the Council on Aging, 135 Hoyt Street, Athens, from 3:00-4:0 p.m. Books are selected by group members’ vote. Selec ons include fi c on and nonfi c on, contemporary and classic. Discussion is informal and par cipa on is encouraged. Please feel welcome to join us at any mee ng.

Enjoy Opera in AthensNancy Songster [email protected] 706.548.8181

Happy HikersIris Miracle [email protected] 706.353.6711

If you love the great outdoors and hiking is a passion or an interest, then you will want to join this group. Hikes are short and long, easy to challenging, for fi tness, fun and enjoyment of the marvels of nature. You can pick and choose as each hike is planned. We plan at least one hike a month, working up to more, if there is enough interest. There are many great hiking trails in and around Athens, but we will plan hikes to N.GA & other areas in GA. Perhaps some overnight hikes and even nearby states are possibili es. Come along, join this interest group and have fun while ge ng healthy exercise and enjoying the great outdoors.

Inves ngRon Cerwonka [email protected] 706.543.7780

The Investment Group meets once a month to exchange informa on about inves ng and investments. Please note that this is not a group that plans investments for the group to make together.

Our Supper Club meets once a month in a member›s home with the host/hostess choosing the entree and a theme. The rest of us contribute appe zers, side dishes, salads, and desserts. The host can off er alcoholic beverages or suggest that each member bring his or her favorite. So far we›ve had homemade pizza night, a burger extravaganza, and a picnic theme with smoked Boston bu .

Join us next month. Your only commitment is taking your turn as host/hostess.
