CHANGING the Lake County Community & Workforce . July 2021 Dear Friends, Each season, we hope to highlight how CLC is a resource for you, your family and area businesses. Leading into the fall we are excited to share commitments we’re making around educational partnerships, community & cultural enrichment and workforce solutions intended to benefit all residents. CLC exists as an affordable option bridging from high school to a bachelor’s degree and that requires seamless transitions with our K-12 and university partners. Earning college credit while in high school is one way we help make higher education accessible, as well as economical. This is called dual credit and it’s a commitment we’ve made for decades across the county. New partnerships through the University Center of Lake County are another demonstration of ensuring students have local and affordable choices to earn a bachelor’s degree after CLC. Check out the latest degree options at www.ucenter.org. What better way to emerge from this last year but through celebration in the arts? The upcoming year brings a milestone 25th anniversary for the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts. We are taking important health and safety precautions as we reopen the theaters and once again bring culturally enriching performances for all ages to Lake County. Bringing workforce solutions to businesses is a key component of CLC’s mission and for the manufacturing industry, we have a major commitment unfolding in Gurnee. At the corner of Grand Avenue and Rollins Road, the college is repurposing a former big box store into a state-of-the-art Advanced Technology Center set to open in early 2022. For residents, this means more training opportunities in high-skill, high-wage careers. For businesses, this means a robust talent pipeline to meet workforce needs. As you flip through these pages, we hope you connect to how CLC can be a resource to you, your family or your business.
With encouragement,
Ali O’Brien Vice President, Community and Workforce Partnerships

Learn about our motion picture heritage in a fast-paced, fun-filled class. Long before the giant blockbuster films of today, there were movies that featured names like Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and Buster Keaton – great stars of that motion picture era whose audiences never heard them speak a word! They were the pioneers of the early cinema and the silent films in which they appeared are the roots of today’s cinema. Music played an important part in silent films. Experience the mighty theatre organ, “the voice of the silent screen,” with your host and silent film organist, Jay Warren. See excerpts from one of cinema’s very first silent films of 1903.
Learn how silent films “grew up.” Follow the evolution of the cinema from the early 1900’s to the coming of sound pictures in a specially compiled retrospective including rarely-seen 1920’s animation. See a complete silent short comedy with authentic theatre organ accompaniment. A Q & A discussion will give everyone a chance to ask questions.

Overly trusting of others while overly confident in himself, without a challenge to focus his energy, he was his own worst enemy. When faced with a challenge, he was tireless in overcoming it.

Discovery: World Religions AUGUSTINE VS. PELAGIUS
Augustine, other than Jesus and the apostle Paul, is arguably the most influential figure in Christian history. His teaching on original sin—that humans are born in sin and helpless to do anything good on their own—shaped Western Christianity from the 5th century to the present. But not everyone agreed with Augustine that without baptism, all people – even babies – were destined for Hell. Pelagius, an Irish monk and Augustine’s contemporary, taught that Adam’s sin was his alone and that humans are born good. An epic theological battle ensued, filled with heated exchanges, intrigue and bribery until a victor emerged and changed Christianity.

“I just missed being killed by about three seconds.” – Christine Burke praising CLC’s defensive driving course. Christine Burke of Lake Barrington enrolled in our Defensive Driving Course. While driving less than a week later, she used a lesson from the course to narrowly avoid getting smashed broadside by a car that ran a red light. Burke said that she hesitated at the intersection, recalling a tip she learned in the defensive driving course called “delayed acceleration” waiting two or three seconds before entering an intersection if yours is the first car there. She credits this decision with saving her life.
