Council Article

In Fall 2009, a Task Force began investigating the feasibility of a Ride-Share Program whereby OLLI members would provide rides to OLLI

classes for members no longer able or wanting to drive. A questionnaire was distributed, and 23% of the membership responded. Of those responses, 97% percent responded “Yes” or “Maybe” in support of an OLLI sponsored Ride-Share Program; 76% of those responding said that they could possibly provide a ride. The Task Force then worked with OLLI staff to develop procedures and in Spring 1, began making trial matches. With strong support from your Governing Council, the Task Force expanded marketing earlier this Fall by asking several Prescott and Prescott Valley volunteer organizations and places of worship to include OLLI Ride-Share announcements in their usual information channels. The Governing Council now asks the OLLI membership to help bring OLLI benefits to those who haven’t been able to participate before due to lack of transportation. Urge your friends who are no longer driving but are committed to “Lifelong Learning” to call the OLLI office for more information, and step forward yourself to be a possible driver.

YC-OLLI VisionOLLI will continue to recognize the individuality of its members by emphasizing and expanding peer learning and social interaction. OLLI will:

• Function as a “knowledge exchange” in which we utilize, appreciate, and recognize the time and talent of our members as planners, facilitators, organizational officers and committee members

• Provide a wide variety of learning groups, workshops and forums, as well as social and cultural events

• Serve as an important resource and forum for the discussion of current issues and concerns of its members and the community

• Incorporate current and future technologies into our offerings to enhance the convenience and enjoyment of class participants

• Expand our OLLI interaction both nationally and internationally

who we areYC-OLLI Mission

T he Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) is a peer-directed organization within Yavapai College that meets members’ lifelong learning and social

interaction needs. The Institute recognizes the unique life experiences of its Central Yavapai County Area participants by self-selecting involvement and collaborative leadership. We share our talents, experience and skills in a relaxed atmosphere filled with humor, wisdom, diversity and insight that enable us to:• Explore new interests • Discover and develop latent abilities • Engage in intellectual and cultural pursuits • Socialize with others of similar interests

How to navigate the schedule

G roup descriptions are arranged by topic. To help you with planning your days at OLLI, you wlll find listings by day of the week on page 5. The

class number is listed to the right of the learning group. We hope this will make it easier to plan your schedule without having to flip through the pages. The registration form is on page 4. You may cut it out and mail it in, with payment, to register (Yavapai College OLLI, 1100 E. Sheldon St. #6912, Prescott AZ, 86301). More than one family member may register using the same form – please just indicate which family member is requesting which learning group. You may also register by phone with a credit card by calling 717-7634.

When and where are my learning groups?Fall 2 groups will meet for six weeks beginning Monday, October 25 and ending Friday, December 10, with NO classes the week of Thanksgiving

The learning groups typically meet on the Yavapai College campus, but we also partner with local museums and other facilities. Check the schedule

for the location of your group. The class format emphasizes members teaching members and collaborative learning. Learning groups are facilitated, rather than taught, by the members, and there are no tests or grades. Group size is limited to allow for maximum participation. As a member of the Institute, you are entitled to all the privileges of a Yavapai College student.

Learning groups are available only to OLLI members. They are held on the Yavapai College Prescott Campus unless an alternative location is listed. Please check your group’s location.

1. Jewish cowboy artist froM chicagoFri: 10/29, 8:30-9:45am, Bldg 3, rm 123 Speaker: Bonnie FreemanKenneth M. Freeman, is nationally recognized not only as one of the finest cowboy artists, but also as a portrait artist of the famous and not-so-famous. Kenneth’s mother recognized his abilities at the age of six, and started him on art lessons. At eight he told his mother to clear out the living room so he could have a studio, and with the same palette that he had used throughout his career he began painting. Prescott has been favored to have his art displayed at the Phippen Museum since July, but unfortunately it ends October 24th. Bonnie will speak of his many accomplishments and show some of his amazing art.

2. tips for winter gardeningFri: 11/12, 8:30-9:45am, Bldg 3, rm 123Speaker: Matt LukaszewskiSome people feel that gardening activities end in the fall. Not true! What you do in the fall/winter season can have a profound effect on next year’s garden. Practical gardening tips will be discussed in the areas of fertilizing, pruning, planting, irrigation, etc. The Yavapai County Native Plant Database (developed by Master Gardener volunteers) will also be demonstrated.

3. ceMetery art: the cLassicaL and the QuirkyFri: 12/3, 8:30-9:45am, Bldg 3, rm 123Speaker: Susan Cheyney

Artwork in various forms appears as artistic memorials in both European and American cemeteries. Symbolism is discussed, including a handout of the symbols and their meanings. The focus of the presentation is not on the famous, the royal tombs or the usual religious imagery. Rather it focuses on the unusual, the visually compelling, and the quirky.

Music/Art5. MagicaL MusicaL tour – 2nd editionTues: 10/26-12/7, 10-Noon, Bldg 31, rm 105Facilitator: John MazellaFor six weeks, we’re going to trace and listen to Rock history through the 60’s and partially into the 70’s. We will see how Rock was almost declared legally dead, spawning the Folk Music boom in the early 60’s. We will explore how Great Britain, in the form of the Beatles and others, then invaded our country. Learn how we fought back with Roger McGuinn and the Folk Rock genre, how Acid Rock evolved through Country Joe, the Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, and others, and how the unleashed creativity of the music drew classical and jazz musicians to Rock and enhanced its quality into the 70’s. And, if we are lucky, we may even have some guest speakers. So sign up, and let’s groove! Former students are welcome back!

6. opera for everyoneTues: 10/26-12/7, 1-3:30pm, Bldg 31, rm 105 Facilitator: Mel ShutzLove is in the air this Fall Session. We’ll begin with the timeless story of Romeo & Juliet, enjoy a program of Great Love Duets, and see how a dedicated wife rescues her husband in Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio. In Fidelio, we’ll feel the romance of Opera/Dances and live the passion of Queen Elizabeth I in her troubled relationship with Roberto Devereux. If you care about opera, if it’s an object of your affection, if you’re partial to great singing, we would love to see you in this class.

7. the Movies go to the operaThurs: 10/28-12/9, 1-3pm, Bldg 31, rm 105 Facilitator: Mel ShutzAfter five sessions of movies with opera as a major character, happy & sad, dramatic & comedic, it’s time to bring down the curtain with six “fun flicks” released over a 70-year period. Most will be favorites from previous sessions, but I may just have a surprise or two if they are available for your viewing enjoyment. Join us for a fond farewell to films that salute the sunny, funny side of opera.

8. great Masters: brahMsFri: 10/29-12/10, 10-Noon, Bldg 31, rm 105Facilitator: Bob SchusterBrahms was not an easy man to know. He was miserly with himself, generous with family, kind to working people and had a malicious wit in artistic and aristocratic social circles. Oh! but what a musical genius. This learning group links the complexities of the man with the electrifying music of the composer through biographical information and musical commentary by Robert Greenberg, PhD.

9. froM Monet to van gogh – pt 2 of 2Fri: 10/29-12/10, 1-3pm, Bldg 3, rm 123Facilitator: John KohlenbergerOur lecturer, Prof. Richard Bretell of the University of Texas, will examine the people and the era that gave birth to modernity in art, occurring largely in France during the latter 19th century. We will look at the philosophies, politics, ideas, tensions and rivalries that animated these times. We will also become acquainted with the lives and works of the men and women who contributed most to Impressionism and its birth, evolution, expansion and final acceptance. Join us … and learn to tell a Monet from a Manet.

10. the art of charLie chapLinMon: 10/25-12/6, 1-3:30pm, Bldg 1, rm 204Facilitator: herman SchlossThis course will explore the art of Charlie Chaplin by means of brief presentations by the facilitator and group discussions following the showing of Chaplin’s very early work and screening of the following feature films: The Kid (1921); The Gold Rush (1925); City Lights (1931); Modern Times (1936); The Great Dictator (1940); and Limelight (1952).

11. foreign fiLMswed: 10/27-12/8, 1-3:30pm, Bldg 4, rm 118Facilitator: Lydia GarrettCome and view with us films produced beyond our shores, in mostly recent years. Most have garnered applause by critics, earned recognition at noted film festivals and are worth seeing. I try to choose films that give some insight into different cultures. Some are happy, some more serious, and some share both qualities. We view the films straight through, and then follow up with discussion. This is a 2-½ hour class.

12. Macintosh coMputers Thurs: 10/28-12/9, 1-3pm, Bldg 1, rm 203Facilitator: Paul MauroThis class will continue to address Mac’s unique computing help and tips. This time we will probe deeper into features of some of the applications we have already discussed. We will also take up two new applications: iWork: Apple’s equivalent of Microsoft Office; and iMovie: learn how to edit your videos to look very professional. In addition, we will add something brand new to our sessions: time allotted to just answering questions on your most pressing Mac issues. Note: The College does not have a Mac equipped classroom – instruction will take place via projection from a Mac laptop.

13. digitaL photography: Making a good photo great using a coMputer Fri: 10/29-12/10, 1-3pm, Bldg 19, rm 224Facilitator: Phil BallMany photos can be greatly improved by using easy and simple techniques on a computer. This class is about using a computer to improve our photos. We will use the classroom’s computers to give us hands-on experience using Photoshop Elements to practice some of the basic and most important techniques to enhance sample images so you can experience these basic techniques. Most of us learn best by actually doing what we are taught. A basic understanding of using a camera and a computer is assumed in these classes. This class will be followed in Spring I by another session to continue with other, more advanced computer techniques to enhance and store images.

14. beginners guide to investingTues: 11/2-12/7, 1-3pm, Bldg 1, rm 204 Facilitator: John Kuzminski (5 weeks only)Basic Fundamentals of Investing will compare the differences between CDs, money markets, treasuries, stocks, bonds, mutual funds and asset allocations. It will include a look at individual risk tolerances including age consideration, and whether to consider a conservative or aggressive approach.

down the events, the coming and goings and precious memories of your life journey. Find the words to describe your joys and sorrows, your victories and losses, not only for yourself, but also for your children and grandchildren. Start compiling your life’s history with one or two pages written at home each week.

16. connectionsFri: 10/29-12/3, 9:30am-Noon, Bldg 3, rm 124Facilitator: Barbara MaceHow did the popularity of 12th century underwear lead to the invention of the printing press? This and other revelations are showcased in James Burke’s award winning series, Connections. Considered a “wonderful intellectual romp”, Connections shows interconnecting events, serendipities, accidents of time and circumstances, which developed the major inventions of our world. This is a class of awe, aha’s, and ha-ha’s.

17. the nature of earth: an introduction to geoLogy - pt 2 of 3Fri: 10/29-12/10, 10am-Noon, Bldg 1, rm 203Facilitator: John PaustianThis is a DVD based program that discusses our Earth from its origin through the formation of minerals and continents to volcanoes and earthquakes and soil formation. In addition, we will learn how to recognize a killer volcano, what structures are safe in an earthquake zone and why grain crops flourish in some regions and not in others, see into underground aquifers, learn the theory of plate tectonics and the common geology of coal and oil.

18. understanding the universe: an introduction to geoLogy - pt 2 of 8Fri: 10/29-12/10, 10am-Noon, Bldg 3, rm 123Facilitator: Jon ParsonsThis is the second of a series of 8 parts with a total of 96 lectures by Prof. Alex Fillippenko, U.C. Berkeley. Each lecture will be followed by 30 minutes of questions and discussion. We will start close to home, but by the end we’ll have had a look at the whole universe and the stuff that makes it work. In Part 2 we will consider the many early attempts to understand and explain the workings of the universe. We will also look at the nature of light and what it can tell us. Finally we’ll discuss the development of various types of telescopes and spectroscopes.

19. woMen scientistsFri: 10/29-12/10, 1-3:30pm, Bldg 3, rm 124Facilitator: Barbara MaceLadies – as you requested! We will view films and web sites about women scientists, mathematicians and engineers – their lives and accomplishments. Sally, Marie, Florence, Dian, Rachel and Jane will be featured in these 2–2 ½ hour sessions (a few films are longer than 2 hours). We will also be discussing the challenges these females faced due to gender, culture and glass ceilings.

20. technoLogy and society: viewpoints and updatesMon: 10/25-12/6, 1-3pm, Bldg 31, rm 105Facilitator: Susan GerhartEvery day brings new technologies that influence society and vice versa. This learning group will employ current materials available to update ourselves and critically express our viewpoints. Sample topics from early 2010 might include: electronic books; automotive safety; inter-planetary travel; propulsion systems; earthquake survival; social media privacy; data mining; border surveillance and deep sea drilling. Collectively we will be exposed to influential technologies, then better understand the effects on our lives and the progress of society, while exploring new tools for learning and critical thinking.

History21. aMerican identity (a biographicaL approach) – pt 2 of 4Thurs: 10/28-12/9, 10am-Noon, Bldg 2, rm 202Facilitator: Vaughn DelpWhat defines an American? What are the characteristics that set us apart? Is it the love of liberty, the pursuit of justice, the urge to invent, the desire for wealth, the drive to explore, the quest for spiritual values? In Part 2 of this chronological video series taught by Professor Patrick Allitt of Emory University, each lecture (two per week) features influential Americans of the early 19th century. Many of these men and women were involved in the great controversy of slavery and collectively energized the young republic’s astonishing economic growth.

22. the aMerican civiL war – pt 3Mon: 10/25-12/6, 1-3pm; Bldg 1, rm 205Facilitator: rudy ArenaThe course addresses such questions as why the war came, why the North won (or the South lost), how military campaigns unfolded and how the war affected various elements of American society. The bloodiest war in our nation’s history claimed more than 600,000 lives, freed nearly 4,000,000 enslaved African Americans and determined the question of whether a state had the right to withdraw from the union. We will show DVDs of battles, generals, politicians and strategies about one of the most interesting and devastating eras of our heritage.

23. a history of russia froM peter the great to gorbachevwed: 10/27-12/8, 10am-Noon, Bldg 31, rm 105Facilitator: Larry GarrettThis course focuses on the human experience, ideas, and values and especially on the lives and thoughts of individuals, both notable and ordinary. Next, the course considers why the history of Russia is significant for us, and fascinating, both as a story of events that had great impact on modern world history and as a story of human experience. Finally, it outlines the chronological scope of Russian history and considers individuals ranging from political rulers to ordinary men and women, and highlights the themes that weave these stories together (especially power and imagination).

Excellent lectures by Professor Thomas Childers will dictate the sequencing of events but will be supplemented by a variety of documentaries.

The movie, The Longest Day will be shown.

25. Mr. LincoLn: the Life of abrahaM LincoLn Thurs: 10/28-12/9, 10am-Noon, Bldg 3, rm 216Facilitator: Marci JonesThe nation’s 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, became the “Great American Man”—the central figure in American History. Professor Allen C. Guelzo will lead us on a tour of Lincoln’s life, from his forbears’ arrival in America through his legacy today. You will come to know Lincoln through the eyes of those who knew, lived, and worked with him. Prof. Guelzo explores Lincoln’s understanding of American politics; why Lincoln opposed slavery and what propelled him, in the 1850s, into the open opposition to slavery; and the gifts that equipped Lincoln to lead the nation through the “fiery trial” of the Civil War. This course opens a compelling view into his thinking and career.

26. conQuest of the aMericas – part 2 of 2Fri: 10/29-12/10, 10am-Noon, Bldg 3, rm 271 Facilitator: walt BullThe first session centered primarily on discovery and conquering the various North and South American countries and tribes. In this session, we will spend more time on the details of life for the conquered countries, how the slave trade was used, the building of large European plantations, religion, the French arrival in the northern areas of North America, and much more about the clashes between the conquered and the conquerors.

27. ascent of Man - pt 2 of 2Fri: 10/29-12/10, 10am-Noon; Bldg 1, rm 204Facilitator: Joann BorgerAs we continue the journey that helps explain the unfolding of humans and civilization, we gain insight into the development of mankind’s knowledge. If you enjoy history and science, you will find this class worth attending. From mere scraps of available evidence from thousands of years ago, Jacob Bronowski paints vivid pictures of the advancement of early thought. Instead of concentrating exclusively on the results of science, the author considers the people behind the science and their amazing discernment into the workings of nature. We will continue to read Jacob Bronowski’s essays from the Ascent of Man outside of class, then view the video and have a group discussion during class time. A handout will be available before the first class.

Government/Philosophy/Religion31. how congress workswed: 10/27-12/8, 10am-Noon, Bldg 2, rm 206Facilitator: Emmett BuellMedia coverage of the recent struggle to pass a massive overhaul of health care drew attention to “self-executing” procedures in the U.S. House, “extended debate” in the U.S. Senate, and other complexities of legislative process unfamiliar to most Americans. Supplemented by my lectures and multiple video illustrations, our discussions will examine House and Senate rules and procedures in order to make sense of how bills become law (or more frequently, how they fall short). We pay particular attention to “unorthodox” innovations in both chambers that make passage possible in a time of extreme partisanship. In the end the sausage may be indigestible but at least you will know how it’s made.

32. creating the constitutionFri: 10/29-12/10, 1-3:30pm, Bldg 1, rm 204Facilitator: Sam Brunstein (Limit 20)We cannot knowledgeably discuss the Constitution or consider changes without knowing what the Founding Fathers wanted. They did not agree. Reminiscent of today, the Federalists wanted a strong central government, while the anti-Federalists wanted strong state governments. They fought and compromised over many of its parts. We will watch six, one-hour DVD lectures by Professor Thomas Pangle of the Department of Government at the University of Texas, Austin. Prof. Thomas discusses these battles, their outcomes, and the effect on our government. To maintain continuity in the discussions, we will spend 10 minutes on administrative tasks at the beginning of each class, watch an hour of the DVD, take a ten-minute break at 10 past the hour, and then spend 70 minutes discussing what we watched. This is a controversial subject and I encourage class members to continue discussions by email. At the end you will be better prepared to consider Constitutional issues.

33. no excuses: existentiaLisM and the Meaning of LifeMon: 10/25-12/6, 10am-Noon, Bldg 1, rm 200Facilitator: Conrad Ouellette/Chuck PostExistentialism continues to fascinate people because it focuses on fundamental questions of individual responsibility, morality, and personal freedom. What is life? What is my place in it? What choices does this obligate me to take? If you want to enrich your understanding of this highly approachable philosophical movement, the visionary thinkers (e.g., Camus, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Sartre) that pondered these questions, and the role it plays in contemporary thought, take this course. It consists of 24 lectures spread over two terms. Reading the short handouts and perhaps an item or two from the optional reading list would enhance discussion.

34. the dead sea scroLLs – pt 1 of 2Tues: 10/26-12/7, 1-3pm, Bldg 1, rm 203Facilitator: Gloria SchwartzThe Dead Sea Scrolls is a 24 video lecture with discussion. It is presented in two sessions as a history course. The lectures include the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, where they were found and their significance in Biblical History. This 6-week session will feature the first seven scrolls, the opening and reading of the first scroll, the historical background of ancient Judaism and the Rise of the Jewish Sects. The Lectures delve into the Qumran sect and the emergence of the Rabbinic system. Also, there will be discussion of a Dead Sea Scroll from medieval Cairo as well as other scrolls.

35. insights into christianity, JudaisM and isLaM – part 2 of 2wed: 10/27-12/8, 10am-Noon, Bldg 2, rm 202Facilitators: Louise Schloss, Carolyn Daly-wood & Y. “Turk” Kangal (Limit 25)These sessions will give you the historical and philosophical highlights of the three related monotheistic religions, their beliefs, origins, rituals, and customs, as well as their similarities and differences. The sessions are strictly informational. We will not judge the superior validity of belief in one faith over another. Part 1 is a pre-requisite for attending Part 2.

This session will explain the anatomy of the breast, what to look for and how to do breast self-examination. A simulated breast will be used to demonstrate different types of “lumps and bumps”.Special low price: members $10, non-members $15 (or free if selected as one of your 3 free classes for current $130 members)
