Course Catalog OLLI@UGA

August through December 2015 OLLI Lunch Menu Expanding Lunch is a multipurpose meal. There are power lunches, ladies lunches, working lunches and civic club lunches, as well as fancier bridesmaids and fashionshow fundraising luncheons, to name a few. And for OLLI members this fall, there are 18 opportunities to enjoy a midday meal and learn something at the same time. Eleven sessions are brown bag lunches, which will be held at River’s Crossing, with the others at Trumps Catering or Talmage Terrace. Subjects range from sports to secret agencies to Botswana. With freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment, a topic of particular relevance in today’s violent world is Charles Davis’s program on Hate Speech: Why We Protect Speech that Repulses Us. “I think our luncheon programs appeal for several reasons,” says OLLI Executive Director Katy Crapo. “Our members enjoy the camaraderie and opportunities to socialize that luncheons provide. The Brown Bag Series, which is just one season old, allows us to better utilize our space at River’s Crossing. In addition, it is less formal and provides an opportunity for discussion.” Attending events at River’s Crossing will be more convenient, less expensive and save paper, thanks to an agreement with UGA Parking Services. Anyone who registers for a class at River’s Crossing will receive a parking tag that will be valid through July 2016. OLLI is offering a record 165 courses in 22 categories beginning in August. There will be a number of new classes, including Mary Jean and Peter Hartel’s Chicks in the City. The Hartels have raised backyard chickens for several years and now, with the recent approval of a chicken ordinance, they will teach others how to do it. Mary Jane explains the benefits: “Why backyard chickens? Chicken TV!!! Not only do you get to watch your birds do chickeny things like running for that grasshopper, dust bathing, and making gentle contact noises with one another, you get EGGS!”

Another new entry is Easy Self-Care and Rolfing Structural Integration with John Schewe, a Certified Advanced Rolfer since 1987. According to the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration, it is a “holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education that organizes the whole body in gravity.” John will incorporate breathing techniques and chi kung exercises into the practice. Thomas Lauth, incoming president of the UGA Retirees Association, is a first-time presenter. He will discuss the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and its obstructed implementation, not only from the standpoint of rollout but of political opposition. “The Affordable Care Act (2010) joins Social Security (1935) and Medicare/Medicaid (1965) as the most important social policy innovations of the past 100 years, yet during its first five years it also has been one of the most controversial and politically divisive policy innovations of the past 100 years,” Lauth says. In addition to this impressive curriculum lineup, OLLI offers social events, trips and at least two dozen special interest groups. The latest SIG is ROMEO (Retired Old Men Eating Out).

Join Judge Stephens, during this Brown Bag Lunch event, as he shares another collection of mostly true incidents that actually happened in Court in the Western Circuit, comprised of Athens-Clarke and Oconee Counties. Judge Lawton Stephens was born in Athens, Georgia, received his B.A. Degree in Political Science and US History from the University of NC at Chapel Hill and his J.D. from the UGA School of Law.

Judge Stephens has now served on the bench for 23 years. ________________________________

A Walk with General William T. Sherman Tuesday, August 25, 2015 1:00 - 3:45 PM River’s Crossing $10

2014 marked the 150th anniversary of The Late Unpleasantness. The spring of 1864 began with coordinated Federal offensives in Georgia and Virginia. The year ended with Grant stymied in front of Petersburg and Sherman spending Christmas in Savannah, Georgia after presenting the newly elected President Lincoln with Savannah as a Christmas present. Walk with Truett Goodwin as he traces the steps of Sherman’s army through North Georgia, Atlanta, through his current home in Monroe County, Georgia on the March to the Sea and to his hometown of Durham, N.C. where the end came on April 26, 1865. Truett Goodwin, a native of Durham, N.C., graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in 1969. He served 3 years of active duty as a Marine Corps infantry officer and is a Vietnam veteran. Truett graduated from UGA in 1974 with a M. Ed. in Counseling. He served 34 years with the Ga. Dept. of Corrections in several capacities, including prison warden. Truett retired from the Marine Corps Reserve in 1992 as a Lt. Col. and from the GDC in 2006. Civil War history is his hobby, including soldier reenactment during the 125th anniversary of the Civil War. ________________________________

Abraham Lincoln Brigade and the Spanish Civil War Wednesday, September 2, 2015 1:00 - 2:15 PM River’s Crossing $10

During the Spanish Civil War, a group of idealistic young Americans

traveled to Europe and fought on behalf of the Republic. Their cause was lost, and when they returned home, they found themselves the target of intense distrust and ostracism by the United States government, even though they had fought against Nazis and Fascists. This class will provide an overview of their experience, both in the war, and afterwards. Dr. Steve Huggins is a retired Aerospace industry executive with experience in research and development, advanced technology, and strategic planning. He holds four university degrees, including a PhD in History, which he earned at UGA after retirement. His special areas of focus are military history and ancient and classical history. He lives in Madison, Georgia with his wife Linda. ________________________________

Advocacy 101: Influencing Decision Makers in Government Thursday, October 15, 2015 1:00 - 3:00 PM River’s Crossing $10

This course will focus on effective strategies and resources citizens can use to influence the course of government and its impact on their lives. We will review Georgia’s budgetary and legislative processes, the role of advisors, and how to use the internet to follow the state session, track legislation, see meeting schedules, and learn about individual legislators. We will briefly review Federal and local government structure and participation. Kathryn Fowler served for five years as Georgia Council on Aging executive director and lobbyist, working for a better Georgia for older adults. She was executive director of the Athens Community Council on Aging for 22 of her 26 years there.

African American Quilters - Their Quilts and Their Stories Friday, September 18, 2015 10:30 - 11:45 AM River’s Crossing $10

For over a century quilting has been a vital traditional art form among African- American women who live in Athens and surrounding counties. From the time of Harriet Powers until the present day, African American women have created quilts for warmth, for comfort, for beauty and for self-expression. This presentation will take you into the world of these amazing quilters through images and stories which Diane has collected over the past twenty years. The love of the craft is evident as you view their quilts and learn about their histories.

OLLI Course Catalog

Diane Barret received her Ed. D. in art education from UGA in 1992. She has designed creative art programs for older adults in senior centers around the Athens area. Her own interest in quilting brought her into contact with many African- American quilters whose quilts she photographed and stories she recorded. Diane has been project director for a number of Humanities and Folk Life grants focusing on this important traditional art form. ________________________________

Aging Successfully: Vital Strategies Wednesday, September 9, 2015 10:30 - 11:45 AM River’s Crossing $10

The class will begin by discussing the importance of maintaining good personal health by exploring such topics as ageism in American society, the older person’s attitude toward his or her health, aging and the attitude of many health care providers, and medications and the elderly. Six vital strategies for successful aging will be discussed. Kelly C. Holloway was admitted to the Georgia bar in 1999. She earned her J.D., cum laude, from the UGA School of Law. Ms. Holloway is a member of the State Bar of Georgia and the Western Circuit Bar Association. She has been practicing with the law firm of Fortson, Bentley & Griffin, P.A., since 1999.

Airplanes for Dummies

Wednesdays, September 30; October 7, 14; 2015 10:30 - 11:45 AM River’s Crossing $21 Do you wonder how 200 tons of metal magically lift off the ground and get you to your destination? And what are those strange noises you hear as you make your journey? Why should you really “don your oxygen mask first before assisting others?” This course is intended to shed some light on how airplanes fly, how they are operated, and how they are designed and built. The course will try to soothe some of the fears of the white-knuckle flyers, as well as answer questions for the intellectually curious. Jim Johnson has some 40 years of experience in the aircraft industry - 20 years flying and designing airplanes for the USAF and another 20 designing and building them for the Boeing Company. Jim has over 3,000 hours of operational flying, mostly in Special Forces aircraft, and over four million airline passenger miles supporting both domestic and international customers for Boeing. He holds advanced degrees in aerospace engineering and recently retired as a Program Manager for Boeing. ________________________________

Ambiguity of Justice

Fridays, October 2, 9, 16; 2015 1:00 - 3:45 PM River’s Crossing $21 This class is a spinoff of Sarah Koenig’s Serial. Through three films, the class will follow felony investigations and trials as a window into the complexities and prejudices of the criminal justice system. 12 Angry Men portrays the American jury system as tragic opera in which the legal system’s virtues are shown through the prism of its dark side.

1920s, but once the technical and economic hurdles were overcome, film production changed dramatically. This history course explains the initial challenges for the innovation of sound but then examines how the resulting musical genre grew into two clear options by the 1930s: Busby Berkeley at Warners vs. RKO’s Fred Astaire. Their stories and styles were strongly opposed to one another, yet both proved highly influential for later movie musicals.

Ask Granny ©

This course will be held at the Athens Bridge Center. Location details will be provided to class participants.

Monday, November 2, 2015 1:00 – 2:15 PM River’s Crossing $10 Sensing a need for a genealogical outreach program for senior citizens, Judith Russell participated in a conversation that led to the development of the Ask Granny© program. The simple idea was to go to retirement residences and to help seniors, men and women, fill out an ancestral chart for themselves and for their spouses, so their children would never have to say, “Why didn’t we ask granny about this?” The goal of this class is not to begin a genealogical pastime, although many times people do become interested in delving deeper; it is simply to get family memories down on paper and safe for the future, and to have fun doing it. Judith Russell’s genealogical interests are in the relationship of family ancestors to the history of their times and in working with others to insure that family records, cemeteries, and stories are preserved. Most recently, she has worked to make sure that senior citizens in English speaking countries around the world have a simple way to pass down their memories to future generations. ________________________________

Nations projected their power afloat and in some cases empires with these vessels. Large, impressive, but still vulnerable, they were instruments of national pride and foreign diplomacy. The continued conflict between the technologies of armament and armor led to bigger, faster examples. Yet, they too succumbed to the inevitable advance of time and progress. We will take a brief look at the history of battleships and see how they may still be experienced today. Dr. James Alberts earned his doctorate in Chemical Oceanography at Florida State University.

Creation Spirituality and Holy Water: A Science Perspective Tuesday and Thursday, December 1 and 3, 2015 10:30 - 11:45 AM River’s Crossing $18

Water is central to our biological and spiritual lives. Every major religion and spiritual tradition venerates water, but our attitude toward water has become one of fear and mistrust more than veneration. This is the result of our consumerism and the damage that consumerism has caused our natural environment. However, centuries of creation spirituality and Christian teachings provide clear directions and concrete suggestions, as to how we can repair our relationship with our Sister Water. Rob McDowell is a geologist who has spent the past 22 years working with Georgia’s water resources, first at the Georgia Environmental Protection Division and then at the University of Georgia. A native of Pittsburgh, PA, Rob grew up with a close attraction to water and the Earth. As a practicing (but rather unorthodox) Roman Catholic, Rob has developed a deep affinity for creation spirituality. His patron saint can be found in many gardens. ________________________________

The surprise taking of the Remagen Bridge enabled the Allies to gain a foothold on the east bank of the Rhine and to launch the effort to encircle the German Army in the industrialized “Ruhr Pocket.” We will also study the site where Maj. General Maurice Rose, the commanding officer of the 3rd Armored Division, was killed in action and the notorious Wewelsburg Castle that was used by the SS as a shrine. This story will be told with photos from the battle area that served to be Germany’s final major defeat in the West.

The devastation resulting from the 2011 Japan Tohoku earthquake and tsunami and the continuing eruptions of Mayon volcano in the Philippine archipelago have brought into sharp focus the dynamic nature of our planet. Geologic processes have long constituted potential hazards, but

OLLI Course Catalog

they have not become significant risks until humans got in the way. Such risks occur throughout the southeastern United States as was evidenced by the destruction of Charleston by an earthquake in 1886. This course will address a variety of potential geological hazards including earthquakes, tsunami, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, river flooding, coastal erosion, landslides, soil failure and ground collapse. The course will review the nature of the geological processes involved and discuss the possibilities of event prediction for each hazard. Methods to minimize and mitigate potential damage will also be discussed. We will also evaluate lessons learned from the tragic 2015 Nepal earthquakes. David Dallmeyer is Emeritus Professor of Geology at the University of Georgia. His teaching and research focused on processes and chronology of mountain building and plate tectonics with fieldwork on all continents.

Georgia Downtown Renaissance Partnership Thursday, October 8, 2015 10:30 - 11:45 AM River’s Crossing $10

Downtowns can be more than nostalgic places of yesteryear; they can be engines bringing about real economic healing and prosperity for communities and states.

Google Glass in Music Performance and Pedagogy Wednesday, November 11, 2015 2:30 - 3:45 PM River’s Crossing $10

Wearable technology has been hailed as “the next big thing.” What are the ramifications and applications for wearable technology in music-making, music education, and music performance? How will wearable technologies impact student learning? How can wearable technology enhance the community audience experience? Can these new technologies (including gesture recognition technology) enhance how we teach conducting? Will these new technologies affect how we think? Will these technologies enhance music notation? In July 2013, Cynthia Johnston Turner was chosen by Google to be a beta-tester for that company’s newest wearable technology, Google Glass. Since then Turner and a team of researchers at Cornell University have been investigating these questions and many more. This presentation will include a demonstration of Google Glass and explore the answers to these questions. It will reveal some of the applications being developed for Glass by Turner and her team, including an embedded metronome and a condensed score (thus eliminating the need for a paper score). The presentation will conclude with a performance of a commissioned composition written especially for the wearable computer performed by musicians wearing and interacting with Glass. Cynthia Johnston Turner is in demand as a conductor, conducting and ensemble clinician, and lecturer in the United States, Latin America, Europe and Canada. Before her appointment as Director of Bands and Wind Ensembles at the Hodgson School at the University of Georgia, Cynthia was Director of Wind Ensembles at Cornell University. Earlier in her career she was a high school music educator teaching middle school instrumental music in Toronto and choral music in Switzerland. She currently serves as a faculty member with the summer Performing Arts Institute at Pennsylvania’s Wyoming Seminary and as a conductor with the Syracuse Society of New Music, the Austrian Festival Orchestra and the Ensemble Paris Lodron. Among other recent engagements Cynthia has guest conducted with the National Youth Wind Ensemble of Great Britain, the Syracuse Symphony, the National Youth Band of Canada, Concordia Santa Fe, the Ithaca College Wind Ensemble and the Eastman Wind Ensemble as well as numerous honor bands. She currently serves as a board member with WASBE and is an active member of the CDBNA. ________________________________

This brown bag luncheon is designed to provide the participant with a look at what it takes to become an official calling high school football, basketball and baseball games. War stories will keep the class engaged and frequent short “quizzes” will help most of the participants realize the many nuances of the rules book. One will quickly come to understand that what they thought they observed was not quite the same as what the official saw and ultimately ruled. The participants will realize that officials must be dedicated professionals with a passion for helping the games get played in an orderly and fair manner.

After a successful career as a CPA and Chief Financial Officer in the private sector achieving what he considers to be financial independence, in order to stay busy Richard Alexander took an accounting position 3½ years ago at the UGA Center for Continuing Education. He is also a hospice volunteer with St. Mary’s Hospital, a board member for the Morton Theatre, and is very actively involved officiating football, baseball and basketball. He and his wife Donnatella have lived in Athens 4½ years. ________________________________

Pegasus Without Wings (1962)

Passive Investing for and in Retirement

This class is a follow-up to the Iron Horse screening. In 1962, the Georgia Center’s film production unit made Pegasus Without Wings, an educational film about the place of controversial art in our communities. The film was part of their Basic Issues of Man series for National Educational Television (NET), the predecessor of PBS. It fictionalizes, for teaching purposes, the 1954 “Iron Horse” sculpture placement and controversy. Carissa DiCindio, the Georgia Museum of Art’s Curator of Education, will lead a discussion.

Dr. Warren Flick earned a Ph.D. in forest economics and a JD in law. He taught investment theory and practice for 30 years in undergraduate and graduate courses, and he has taught adult education courses in taxation and finance. He manages his own investments and has advised others on investment practice. He is retired from UGA forestry and lives in Athens.

Protecting the Investor Wednesday, August 26, 2015 1:00 - 2:15 PM River’s Crossing $10

The Atlanta Regional Office (ARO) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has as part of its primary mission to protect the investor(s). In order to fulfill this mission, the ARO strongly believes that preventing and avoiding investment fraud is not only critical but essential to that purpose. We are particularly concerned about “affinity fraud” which will be the focus of this class. Affinity fraud includes investment frauds that prey upon members of identifiable groups, such as the elderly. These scams exploit the trust and friendship that exist in groups of people who have something in common. Many affinity scams involve “Ponzi” and pyramid schemes, where new investor money is used to make payments to earlier investors to give the illusion that the investment is successful. This class will be led by staff from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. ________________________________

Psychology of Newlywed Marriage Wednesday, November 4, 2015 9:00 - 10:15 AM River’s Crossing $10

Newlywed couples begin their marriages happy and optimistic about the life they are starting together.

This class will explore the psychology of newlywed marriage, including an overview of current research on how and why marriages change and the factors that put couples at risk for negative marital outcomes. We will also discuss how interventions can prevent or treat relationship distress. Dr. Justin Lavner is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Georgia.

Radiation: Risks and Benefits

Wednesdays, September 30 and October 7, 2015 10:30 - 11:45 AM River’s Crossing $18 What is “radiation”? How can it both cause and cure cancer? Just how radioactive is the food we eat, the water we drink? Knowledge of radiation effects has evolved over a century. We will critique the “spectrum” from cell phones to CT scans to radon - and much more. We will also briefly review some major studies, along with nuclear disasters. A complex array of information (and misinformation) abounds, yet the basic concepts are surprisingly straightforward. Our goal is to learn enough about radiation and its potential health effects to enlighten our friends and to ask the right questions of our health care providers. Jim Smith was a research physicist at the RCA Space Center in Princeton then at the University of Utah Medical School, followed by founding Chief of the Radiation Studies Branch at the CDC, where he held a Distinguished Scientist/Consultant appointment.

Religion, Righteousness, and Human Violence Monday and Wednesday, November 2 and 4, 2015 9:30 - 11:30 AM River’s Crossing $18

Throughout history, from the wars in Hindu mythology to the Crusades, the Holocaust, and ISIS, the righteousness that we associate with religious fundamentalism appears to be a major cause of the worst atrocities that humans commit. This course will look closely at the causes of violent atrocities and the extent to which righteousness may cause them. We ask whether such relatively modern ideas as the rule of law and scientific skepticism can effectively offset the causes of human violence. Robust discussion of the positive and negative roles that religions play in human societies will be strongly encouraged.

The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Rhodes remains the definitive description of the Manhattan Project, the secret WWII project conducted jointly by the US and Britain (with the explicit exclusion of the USSR), that led to the development of the atomic bomb and ushered in the nuclear age. The course covers the historic steps necessary for production and use of the bomb: requisite scientific discoveries, political development that initiated the race to build, technical problems, and the controversial decision to use the bomb against Japan in 1945. Bill Alworth received his AB from Harvard College and his PhD from UC Berkeley. After a year of post-doctoral work at Harvard, he joined the chemistry faculty at Tulane and taught there for nearly forty years. After Hurricane Katrina forced him and his wife to relocate to Athens, he joined LIR and has been an active member of the organization ever since, serving a term as OLLI president and teaching several courses. The TV series “Manhattan” prompted him to repeat his course on the subject.

Called “Black Swans” by Nassim Taleb, “events that changed history” are those that happen in history that nobody could foresee or predict, yet had

From “Good Golly Miss Molly” to “Ramblin’ Man”, this course is all about race and music in the South, with a focus on the musicians who began their careers in Macon, Georgia during the racially-charged era of the late fifties and sixties, beginning with rhythm and blues and morphing into a genre known as Southern Rock. John Lyndon was born and raised in Macon, Georgia, and comes from a family of “roadies”, his three brothers having all been on the road with rhythm and blues and rock and roll bands. His law practice in Athens has not interfered with his love of music and his sharing of music history, anecdotes and events in the world of music. ______________________________

Fall 2015 Serendipities at River’s Crossing COL (ret) Lawrence Saul is the Vice President and Chief of Staff for Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad California. Previously he was a Senior Lecturer at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey California. COL Saul served for 34 years in the US Army. His service included tours in Germany, Holland, Belgium, England, Kosovo and other locations. He was one of the last veterans of the Vietnam War still serving on active duty when he retired in 2008. We are pleased to offer two serendipity class opportunities presented by COL (ret) Saul. Each four hour class will consist of two sessions held on the same day at River’s Crossing. The first session is 10 am – noon, followed by a one-hour lunch break on your own. The second session is 1:00 – 3:00 pm. The cost for each four-hour class is $18.

Tuesday, August 4, 2015 Band of Brothers: D-Day, Invasion of Normandy You must register for this event no later than Friday, July 24th The Invasion of Normandy determined the outcome of WW II in Europe. The Allies undertook no greater risk than the crosschannel invasion of France. This course will concentrate on the events of 6 June 1944. In Session One, we will focus on the German forces, their occupation of Normandy and preparation to halt the pending Allied invasion. In Session Two we look at the US units conducting the airborne and amphibious landings. We will concentrate on three different units - 2 US Army and one German unit - as they fight for survival and victory in this 24 hour period.

Monday, December 21, 2015 The Battle of the ‘15’s You must register for this event no later than Thursday, December 17th Throughout history, several significant, history-changing battles have been fought in years ending in ’15. The changes have been due to unexpected outcome, dynamic leadership, significant advances in weapons technology, the vagaries of weather, or just pure luck. Luck is often the result of a leader making a vital decision at the critical point in time. In this course we will look at battles fought in 1315, 1415, 1715, two in 1815, and two in 1915. We will wrap up with a look at warfare in 2015 and take a look at future warfare.
