Tell us your story…by Bob Juby

Just as we need air to breath, water to drink and bread to eat, we need to tell our stories. Every day we tell our stories. We tell them over the kitchen table and over the backyard fence. I am a senior and a storyteller. I like to put my stories on paper and tell them to others. I like to listen to the stories that others tell. By listening, I can learn to tell my stories better. The Lifelong Learning Centre provides the supportive environment for storytelling. I can tell my stories and, in return, I can hear some fascinating stories told by others. Through our stories, we get to know each other better and form a caring community. Truman Capote was once asked if creative writing could be taught. Capote thought for a moment and commented that he did not think you could teach someone to be creative but you could provide him with a captive audience. At the Lifelong Learning Centre, the exits are clearly marked. However, in the years that I have been part of the creative writing group, I have never witnessed an exodus when a story needed to be told. ‐Bob Juby

Tell us your story this spring…and be entered to win great prizes including FREE courses and more to be awarded

this fall…Contest starts in April with details to be revealed at the Heritage Lecture on April 3 and Open House on

April 11.

CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE The Confucius Institute at the University of Regina offers non‐credit Chinese language courses designed to make your trip easier and more enjoyable. You will be taught practical Chinese phrases used in daily Chinese life. Courses focus on spoken Chinese that will be very useful when talking with native Chinese speakers in various situations you might encounter on your trip. Communicative competence and cross‐cultural awareness are emphasized during the courses. A field trip to China will be organized afterwards if there is enough interest. Other courses offered by the Confucius Institute include: Chinese Cooking Workshop This workshop offers more than just cooking. It’s a good place to make friends and have fun while enjoying Chinese cooking culture. We will hold four special cooking workshops covering different elements of Chinese cuisine. The instructors will explain different food styles in various places in China, share recipes and demonstrate how to make both classical and easy Chinese dishes. Chinese Calligraphy Workshop Calligraphy is known as the art of fancy lettering. Practicing Chinese calligraphy is not just producing beautiful calligraphy works; it is also a branch of learning Chinese language and culture. Join the Chinese Calligraphy Workshop and discover one of the oldest and most beautiful traditions of China. We will hold four special Chinese calligraphy workshops which you will learn the basic skills to write Chinese characters in ink and gain some knowledge of Chinese paintings and calligraphy appreciation. Chinese Tai Chi Workshop The Chinese characters for Tai Chi can be translated as the 'Supreme Ultimate Force'. The notion of 'supreme ultimate' is often associated with the Chinese concept of yin‐yang, the notion that one can see a dynamic duality (male/female, active/passive, dark/light, forceful/yielding, etc.) in all things. There are a number of so‐called forms (sometimes also called 'sets') which consist of a sequence of movements. Movements performed in Tai Chi are slow, soft and graceful with smooth and even transitions between them. During a series of Tai Chi workshops, you will learn the basic postures and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature. Customized Chinese Language Program In order to meet the growing interest and demand in Chinese language learning and culture exploring in local community, the Confucius Institute will offer a customized Chinese Language Program for individuals, groups,


corporations and government organizations from all industries and portfolios. The Confucius Institute has a large selection of learning materials, free for students to use. Our highly qualified instructors and extensive resources allow us to provide you the best solution for one‐on‐one coaching, group training and more. Our customized language programs will meet your specific demands! For more information, contact Linda Jiang: Phone: 306‐337‐2653 Email: [email protected]

After 30 years of his iron‐fist rule, General Efrain Rios Montt is going to trial for genocide and crimes against humanity. On January 29, after years of debate, Judge Migual Angel Galvez resolved that there was enough evidence to send Rios Montt and his former intelligence director, General Jose Mauricio Rodriguez, to trial under the charges of genocide and crimes against humanity. This is the first time in Guatemala’s recent history that ‘genocide’ is used to describe the systematic killing of one Mayan group in 1981‐1983. This presentation will discuss how the last remnants of cold‐war is still fought in the courts of Guatemala and how the military mentality still plays a key role in dividing the Guatemalan society. Presenter: Leonzo Barreno Day: May 16 WHY ARE WE MAKING WAR ON OUR CHILDREN? Of course, we are not literally making war on our children, or are we? The images of police dressed in black riot gear wielding truncheons squirting pepper spray and firing tear gas during confrontations with young people on the streets of Vancouver during the 2011 “Hockey Riot,” and on the streets of Montreal during the waves of student strikes in 2012 were deeply distressing. Beyond such dramatic events, the future we are constructing for our children is dark and unwelcoming—huge student debts; the disappearance of good jobs with career security and pensions; deep cuts in spending on health, education, and social support programs; replacing a society premised on collective responsibility for all to one premised on survival of the fittest. We are the ones creating this future. Our children will be the ones who will live in it. Are we provoking a war between the generations? Presenter: Dr. John Conway Day: May 23 NO FOOLISH WAND‐WAVING: THE SERIOUS SIDE OF HARRY POTTER JK Rowling’s immensely popular seven‐book series about the world of wizards, magic and fantastic beasts has captured the imagination of children and adults alike, and spawned an equally popular special‐effects‐laden film series. But beyond the delight in Rowling’s invented world, what can readers take away from Harry Potter? This talk will examine both the complex literary structures and the deeper themes Rowling explores in her books. Amid the spells, the broomsticks and the potions is a profound study of grief, loss, the difficult moral choices that accompany the use of magic and the power of love and self‐sacrifice. Those who are familiar with the books will come away with a richer understanding of this fascinating series; those who know them only by reputation will be compelled to explore them further. Presenter: Dr. Noel Chevalier Day: May 30 FAKE IT TIL YOU ARE IT: PUBLIC SPEAKING WITH AUTHORITY An hour‐long discussion with Kelley Jo Burke about how she learned to act like she was comfortable speaking on the air—and to an audience—and woke up one day to discover that she had actually become what she was pretending to be.

Tell us your story…by Sherrie Tutt

Sherrie Tutt on her experience with the Centre for Continuing Education...

My life has revolved around the Lifelong Learning Centre for over ten years. As a nurse and teacher I always wrote

boring business stuff like minutes, reports, and proposals. I thought I would like to write for fun – fiction and

maybe some poetry. So I signed up for the Creative Writing class. It gave me just the push I needed to start writing

and still keeps me picking up pen and paper or, like today, clicking computer keys.

Creative Writing motivates me to learn about writing in other ways, through reading books and magazines and

taking other writing classes. But Thursday afternoons still see me in Creative Writing sharing short bits of the

writing I have done that week, visiting over coffee, and cheering others on. Many in the class have also belonged

for several years. They are my friends. In addition to unconditional support they are a source of information and

advice.

The result? I’ve written two novels and a history book (all published), a collection of short stories, a children’s

book, assorted poems, and a family history book. Best of all, every one of my days is filled with meaning and

purpose.
