Spring 2012 Course Book Beat the Midwinter Blahs A er all the excitement, bustle and sparkle, it’s easy to slip into a post-holiday slump when January rolls around. One way to beat the midwinter blahs is to take advantage of the largest number and greatest diversity of courses and ac vi es ever offered by OLLI, beginning in January and going through May. There will be 100-plus classes, as well as eleven luncheon programs, with subjects from ancient history to cu ngedge computer technology. “The diversity is incredible--we want to have something to appeal to everyone,” says OLLI curriculum chair Jeani Goodwin. This has led to new courses, such as pet training, fly fishing and bu erflies, and expanded ac vi es in areas including wri ng, art, fitness and even history with Charlo e Marshall’s “Walk Through a Victorian Natural Landscape Cemetery” tour of Oconee Hill Cemetery January 23. to display the Ar sts and gardeners eners will have the opportunity opp results off their labors at an art show and plant exchange to be Presbyterian held Friday, April 13, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Central Pr Church. “This is the first me we have ever done aanything like this,” Goodwin explains. “It will be open to the public and give credence to what people have been doing.” For many people, pets are an important part of thee family, but bu if they “act out” it can cause major difficul es. Dr. Alexandra Moesta, a third-year resident in behavioral medicinee in the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine, will address storm phobia in dogs and urina on problems in cats on February ary 8. ”These are some of the most common problems you would ould see in Athens,” says Dr. Moesta. “Behavioral problems ems occur for a variety of reasons and can lead to breaking the human-animal bond, which is a very common reason pets are surrendered to shelters.” For a happy and healthy pet, it is important to provide enrichment, regular training and a predictable environment. pred By the me pet owners seek help they are very concerned, concer
but the UGA Veterinary Behavior Service has a good success rate. “It is very rewarding to help these people maintain their bonds with their pets,” Dr. Moesta says. The owner of Eddie, a two-year-old German Shepherd rescue dog, she understands their feelings. “I have my personal pet as a companion, sports buddy and family member.” Another program involving dogs is Donna Klingel’s “Therapy Dog Programs,” which will explain the desirable quali es and training required for a therapy dog, as well as selec ng an appropriate pet for older people. Klingel, who is from North Carolina and has Golden Retriever therapy dogs, is the author of Just for the Moment: The Remarkable Gi of the Therapy Dog. Klingel will also join Jane Meeks in another course, “Wri ng for Children and Young Adults.” There are many more new courses in addi on to staples as OLLI responds to increased membership and different interests.

(A) Visit with a Glassblower Lore a Eby Wednesday, March 14 10:00 AM – 12:00 noon Presenter’s studio at Happy Valley Po ery 1 session $5 “Glassblowers are ar sts who can never touch their medium,” says ar st, Lore a Eby. As another ar st remarked, “It takes a strange breed to cozy up to a 2,000 degree furnace.” Glassblowing is not an art form for the dabbler, as it involves serious equipment, specialized tools, a willingness to work under very, very hot condi ons, as well as a long-term commitment to learning the skill. There are just a handful of Georgia ar sans who blow glass in their own hand-built, home-based studios. Lore a Eby is one of them. She works in a renovated chicken house in Oconee County, running her furnace 24/7. Here she makes tumblers, ornaments, vases, fluted bowls and hummingbird feeders. She built her own furnace, credi ng her dad and farm life with the ability to do so. A er the glassblowing demonstra ons, par cipants will be able to visit the gi shop that sells works by various ar sts, including Ms. Eby and her husband, sculptor Jeff Jackson. Lore a Eby received her degree from Cleveland Ins tute of Art with con nued studies at Penland and Pulchuk Schools of Glass. Ms Eby can be contacted at info@lore aeby.com.

Only fragments of the stories of the Goddess remain; only snatches of the songs sung to and for and about the Goddess have come down through the millennia; only small pieces of artwork give us a glimpse of what she might have been. This class will explore some of the stories, legends, and myths of the Goddess from around the globe.

She has been studying and teaching about the Goddess in Unitarian Universalist churches for over twelve years and has been facilita ng the Goddess Group of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Athens since 2002.

Women and the Civil War—the Oblate Sisters of Providence during the Civil War Era Diane Morrow Friday, March 2, 2012 12:20 – 2:00 PM Central Presbyterian Church 1 session $6 The outbreak of the Civil War in April, 1861, brought hardship and suffering to Americans in both the North and the South. Bal moreans seldom witnessed actual military combat within the city, but the war s ll affected their daily lives. The Bal morebased Oblate Sisters of Providence, the first Roman Catholic African American sisterhood, followed their community life and conducted their schools as closely as possible to their accustomed rou nes, but war condi ons inevitably disrupted the normal course of Oblate life.

Dr. Morrow, Associate Professor of History and African American Studies, graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Swarthmore College with a degree in History. She earned an M.S. degree in Social Science Educa on from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. A er teaching history and social science courses in public and private secondary schools, she became an Instructor in History and in African American Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She earned the Ph.D. degree in History from UGA. Her doctoral disserta on examined the antebellum experience of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the first African American Roman Catholic sisterhood, founded in Bal more in 1828. Dr. Morrow has presented papers at several professional conferences on this topic and has published ar cles and essays about it in scholarly journals and anthologies. Her first book, Persons of Color and Religious at the Same Time: The Oblate Sisters of Providence, 1828-1860, published in 2002, won the Le a Woods Brown Memorial Book Prize for 2002 from the Associa on of Black Women Historians and the Dis nguished Book Award of the Conference on the History of Women Religious in 2004.

We typically meet one evening of the month at the River’s Crossing building. Our mee ngs usually feature an educa onal talk on a photographic topic, with me reserved for member ques ons and a “show & tell” session. We also schedule photo walks around Athens and trips to scenic venues and photo exhibits.
Mac Fan(atic)s Jim Kradel, jkradel@gmail.com, 706-410-1958 Hello to all you Mac owners. Our number grows each day. It is probably because of you that Apple has gone from 315 to 390 since the middle of June. We have been quiet this Summer, but Fall and Winter are coming, and we plan to get together and share ideas and how-tos. All new ideas and new members are welcome. Come one, come all.

They will meet once a month at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Athens.
