The Director’s Corner Dear Members: Happy summer to all our OLLI members! I hope you’re enjoying your summer break, traveling and connecting with family and friends. As summer draws to an end, it’s time to start thinking of OLLI and all the ways in which you can be a part of this wonderful program. I want to share some exciting changes taking place at OLLI@SCU for 2014-2015: Achieved Milestones: Amazing, but not surprising, we reached our milestone enrollment of 1000+ members for our program and a very special “Thank You” goes to Ron Lindsay, Chair of the Membership Committee and his entire team of committed volunteers. Their hard work and dedication throughout this last year goes unparalleled. Volunteers are the force that makes our OLLI successful, and to all of you who give so generously of your time and effort, we thank you. The Osher Endowment Application & Request: We received news from the Osher Foundation and while they are very excited for the future of our program, our request for an additional endowment was not granted. Therefore, your donations will be more important than ever to increase our endowment and help sustain our program. Membership Registration: Registration begins on August 1, 2014. The new academic year begins and your membership will be from August 1, 2014 – July 31, 2015. www.scu.edu/osher Volunteer Chairs & Advisor positions: Beginning this FALL we have available the Membership Chair, Office Operations Chair and Fundraising Advisor positions open. Volunteer job descriptions and information will be posted to the web site before the Fall Quarter begins. There will be another announcement and live link in the next newsletter for the positions. If you are thinking of joining our volunteer staff we would really appreciate hearing from you. FALL KICK OFF EVENT: I would like to invite everyone to attend our annual “Fall Kick Off” celebration. The event is free and open to members and guests (50+ years) but RSVPs are required and registration is now open. I hope to see you at the Kick Off and get you connected to classes and programs that suit your interests. Thank you very much for your continued support of OLLI@SCU. Warm Regards, Andrea Saade
Membership Report The OLLI Program at Santa Clara University has 1043 annual members registered through July 20, 2014! As you can see we have achieved our goal to reach 1000+ members before the end of the 2013-2014 OLLI membership-year. By reaching this goal, we have justified our eligibility to apply for the second $1 Million endowment from the Osher Foundation. The membership ably responded to the challenge and I could not be more appreciative in recognizing that we, as a proud group of “seasoned adults,” rose to the occasion when the need was truly there. On July 31, 2014 my three-year term as Chair of the OLLI Membership Committee expired. I can only say it has been a privilege and a great honor to have served as Membership Committee Chairperson for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Santa Clara University for the past three years. We have undoubtedly one of the best OLLI Programs in the country. Let’s continue to strive to ensure it is sustained for future generations of Bay Area individuals seeking quality continuing-education for the sheer joy of it. Again, my highest regards to the greatest group of “seasoned adults” on planet Earth. Ron Lindsay, Past-Chair Membership Committee

Service Term is up for Two CoC Members By Becky Bell July 31 was the last day of service for two chairpersons serving a three year term on the Council of Chairs (CoC). Ron Lindsay, Chairman of the Membership Committee, has worked diligently to recruit new members for OLLI as well as retain current members, arranged for speakers for various groups and organizations, and often spoke himself in an effort to spread the news about OLLI@SCU. His recruiting efforts have been with an eye toward reaching a goal of 1000 members in order to make us eligible to apply for the second million dollar endowment from the Osher Foundation. Ron gives gracious praise to OLLI members in reaching that goal on 23 July and said, “When you clearly state a proposed goal for the OLLI Program and accompany it with a reasonable and understandable benefit in reaching that goal, the OLLI membership will respond with a unified commitment to make it happen.” Patty Hora, Chair of Office Operations, also stepped down from her position as of 31 July, after three years of service. Her duties included contacting volunteers on the committee to arrange for adequate staffing for mailing correspondence from the OLLI office, particularly the quarterly course catalogs. Additionally, she attended monthly Council of Chairs meetings. She commented that Andrea Saade, OLLI Director, will have many capable volunteers from which to choose her replacement. Patty will continue her role as classroom host going forward. Both Ron and Patty feel that the three year term limit set by the Council of Chairs was a positive move which will ensure introduction of new thoughts and ideas to the various committees. Many thanks to Ron and Patty for their dedicated and tireless service. August 2014

Is ‘Older but Wiser’ Real? By Monica David
Brain Biology What happens to the brain as we get older? The brain shrinks slightly with age. And, yes, aging can lead to a normal decline in cognitive function that may, though not always, evolve into more serious conditions Parts of the frontal cortex that deal more with emotional regulation atrophy slower than other sections of the brain. This means we have a more nuanced and complex response to the world, thereby reducing our impulsive acts. Although our reaction times may slow and we may take longer to process new information we are better at discerning patterns, thereby allowing us to get the “big picture.” Having more information in the brain, we are more able to detect familiar patterns, which can form the basis for wise behavior and decisions. We are better able to anticipate situations, predict likely future events, and act appropriately. Grey matter, the body’s neural networks, is an extensive system of connections giving humans a distinct advantage in terms of processing information. White matter, made up of myelin, a fatty outer coating of trillions of the nerve fibers, acts as an insulator that makes those connections work. Signals move faster, allowing neurons to recover at a greater speed after the signal is sent, causing subsequent signals to go faster. Myelin is partially genetic, but it also thickens with age and deliberate use, becoming more efficient. While some of it may start to deteriorate, there is an ongoing repair process, which results in a net gain of myelin well into our ‘60s and beyond until such maintenance breaks down. When that starts to happen and at what speed will vary with the individual--based partially on genetics and partially on our experiences. Hence the common refrain to learn new things, find new ways of doing things we now do by habit. The key lesson here is that what we do new is important in that it should truly be new, e.g., if we continue to do crossword puzzles, we become better at crosswords, but we haven't formed new pathways. A unique ability of the middle-aged brain is bilateralization, the increasing ability to use both sides of the brain at once. One study asked participants to remember paired words and recall them later. Younger people used the left side to learn the new words and then the right side to retrieve them. Older adults used the left side less in learning the words initially and then used both sides to do the more challenging task—retrieving them. Better performers make better use of brainpower, increasing inter-hemispheric communication, in essence developing “cognitive reserve,” which seems to buffer against the effects of aging.
What We Do Better as We Age Yes, as a result of changes in our brains, our life experiences, and our mental processes, we can grow old gracefully. What we do better:
See the big picture, don’t sweat the small stuff, put things into perspective Critical thinking (different from thinking fast) is disciplined thinking that is clear, rational, open-minded, and informed by evidence Social ability—being aware of how we communicate with others, the messages we send and how methods of communication can be Older people's wisdom helped them outperform younger participants improved at taking the bigger picture into account. Photo: GETTY More creativity, defined as desire to learn and acting on our natural curiosity Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life, making us more suited for creative expression later in life. Emotional and psychological factors, along with knowledge and available time, allow us to find expression through creative channels, and our greater experience provides more inputs from different parts of our memory Ability to solve complex problems. More than recognizing complex problems, we have the patience and strength and willingness to go after significant core issues
How to Slow the Aging Process
Undertake a regular exercise program to achieve fitness—do strength, flexibility, aerobic, and balance exercises Eat a healthy diet, including managing calories and avoiding processed food. Have adequate fiber, healthy fat, healthy carbs, lean protein, and water Get enough sleep each night, which is important for physical health, as well as mood and longevity Stay mentally active

6 Older but Wiser – cont’d.
Don’t smoke Manage stress—have a positive attitude (yes, optimism can be taught) Stay socially connected, engage with others
To Be Continued. . . In next month’s Link, we’ll explore the concept of wisdom. Everyone studying the different traits of wisdom have similar questions. What is the effect of age on wisdom? And, is age a prerequisite for wisdom? There are ongoing studies to gain a better understanding of how to define wisdom and how we measure it.

OLLI Members Have Talent Many OLLI members are involved in various forms of creative expression and some have been featured in The Link. With your participation and contributions it is hoped to have an event to showcase your works. If you paint, draw, sculpt, weave, make jewelry, or are involved in other forms of artistic expression, please contact Carol Lindsay with details. This event is in the formative stages and your input is most important to making it happen. Other members would love to see what you do and perhaps be inspired to try something new.

OLLI Spotlight On OLLI Member
Linda Avignon-Wikke By Becky Bell I visited Linda in her warmly inviting Victorian home near Japantown where she was recovering from double foot surgeries, scheduled between travels to Spain and Quebec. Her hyphenated surname reveals a mixture of many ethnicities in her life. Husband Emil is of Danish-Salvadoran descent while Linda is Norwegian on her mother’s side and French, or so she thought, on her father’s side. Through some genealogical sleuthing she found that her grandfather’s name was originally spelled “Avignone,” indicating Italian heritage, rather than the French “Avignon”. This could perhaps explain her passion for all things Italian, as she belongs to two Italian-speaking groups and attends the Appassionati Italiani SIG offered through OLLI. Linda hails from a family of teachers but it was her Norwegian Grandmother who particularly influenced her choice of careers. This woman dearly loved reading and passed her passion on to her grandchildren by reading and playing games with them. Linda has a vivid memory of her gentle spoken grandma telling her as a fourth grader, “Linda, if you go into teaching as a career when you grow up, the world will be your oyster.” The message hit home and the book-lined walls in Linda’s house are a testament to the power of grandmothers everywhere! Linda’s educational credentials include attendance at UC Davis, SF State, and UC Berkeley where she majored in English and minored in French. After obtaining her CA teaching credential she taught elementary school. When she moved to San Jose she got a referral to teach part time in the Reading/Writing Lab at West Valley Community College. During her other “part time” at West Valley she worked as a driver in the disabilities department. It was this connection that got her interested in working with the disabled and specifically, the blind. Linda learned Braille in a six-month August 2014
time frame in what she characterizes as “baptism by fire” She took distance learning classes from SF State to learn English, Biology, Physical Sciences, and Math in Braille. The lessons on Braille were graded in Braille by a teacher who was actually blind. It was at a time before computer grading and the teacher tolerated no mistakes. Consequently, Linda had an unrelenting headache for the first month or two from trying to get all her answers 100% correct. Through this, her two teenaged sons were her constant cheerleaders, encouraging her along the way with “Come on, Mom, you can do it!” She passed with flying colors and the next 18 years were spent teaching at the California School for the Blind in Fremont. Even though she retired in 2009 she still substitute teaches there for as many days a month as her intensive travel schedule will permit. The biggest unanticipated perk she gained from her Braille teaching job was the many lifelong friendships that she formed with her students. Many still consider Linda a mentor and such a good friend that they never fail to contact her on Mother’s Day and birthdays. Linda joined OLLI four years ago at the urging of a friend who was taking a class on Venice, Italy. She squeezed in to the class just under the wire and thoroughly enjoyed the new learning forum OLLI presented. She particularly gravitates to the history, travel, reading, and language classes and for the past three years has served as classroom host for whatever class she is currently enrolled in and she is a member of the Social Committee. Linda travels extensively and recently returned from a three week trip to Spain. She is planning a Road Scholar trip with a friend to Quebec in the fall, but not before she and her hubby visit the Santa Fe-Taos area. If you are looking for a travel book that you can’t find at the library, or that’s unavailable from the bookstores, I’m sure you will find it in Linda’s collection of travel books. Volunteer Corner is welcoming contributions from OLLI members. Please email your volunteer activities to: Jeff Englander, cell 408 499 9754, to share with us what you’re doing.

Appasionati Italiani At our July meeting, we used the health vocabulary Linda gave us last month and told our health-related stories in Italian. One story involved an 83-year-old grandfather who refused his doctor's diagnosis that he would never walk again and cured himself with a special potion and his own exercises. Another story told of setting a pensione room on fire by plugging in a curling iron and getting third-degree burns. If you would like to come and tell your stories in Italian or English or half-and-half, we meet the third Sunday of the month in Santa Clara City Library from 3:30 to 5:30. Please contact Barbara Gasdick at bgmoxie@hotmail.com for more information.
Cultural Cornucopia Meets August 12, Noon-1:30, Loyola 160. We'll be reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and using that for a broader discussion of the life, times, and influence of Maya Angelou. Contact Fred Gertler for more information.
Current Events Discussion Some members of the Current Events Discussion SIG have formed a new smaller group this summer with participation from 13 “larger group” members. This additional group is taking a free online Coursera course titled “How to Change the World.” There are presentations on: Poverty and Development; Climate Change and Sustainability; Disease and Global Health Care; and Women, Education and Social Change. Our primary purpose is to define actions that we can take that can impact change in these and related areas. Such actions would be ones that can be achieved by us as individuals, as a group, and possibly even some suggested recommendations to other members of the OLLI program. We will be sharing
August 2014
8 information about resources and a list of possible actions in the coming months’ edition of The Link. For information about this activity or about the larger Current Events Discussion SIG, please e-mail group facilitator, Len Schreibstein .
GENEALOGY The next meeting of the OLLI Genealogy SIG will be a working meeting at the Santa Clara City Library, Wednesday, 13 August, at 10:00AM. We will use the library's resources in our family searches. For more information contact Max Jedda, 408-735-8697.
OLLIWOOD August 18 is the date for the next movie outing. We will see a film in the early afternoon and have a discussion at a nearby location after the viewing. A different member of the SIG selects the movie each time and those who have joined the SIG get notified of time and place about a week before. As a change of pace, occasionally we go to a play. The outing, in July took 10 members of the SIG to “The Queen of Bingo” at the Northside Theatre on William St. in San Jose, a small community theater. Everyone enjoyed the play and the potluck that followed at the Howards’. Anyone interested in this SIG please contact evelynhow@yahoo.com to be added to the email list and receive notifications of the outings.
Travel The presentation at the July Travel Talk SIG was on "Cuba: A country in transition" or "So Near, yet So Far" by Martin Manley and Linda Smith. The presentation was very well-received, with a lot of interaction and discussion. Note: OLLI Lifelong Learning through Travel has a trip to Cuba planned for January 2015. Please contact Dorothea French at dfrench@scu.edu for further information.
We need presenters or other activities for future meetings which are typically on the second Monday of each month from 1 to 3 PM in Loyola Room 160. Please contact me, Linda Smith if you have any interest in this; I can help with putting pictures into slides and other organization as needed. Currently we have NO presenter for August. Katherine Rosenberry will do two half-hour presentations on 8 September. One will be on traveling with grandchildren (or other wee kids), and one on Turkey. (Olli Lifelong Learning through Travel also has a trip to Turkey planned for 2015.) Please contact, Linda Smith if you would like to be added to the email distribution list or for any other questions or comments. All OLLI members are welcome to attend.
