How Sparks Became Sparks Presenter: Donald Abbott, photographer and board member of Sparks Museum Sparks came to life in quite an unusual way. It was a custom-made town, tailor-ordered by the Southern Pacific Railway. In 1902, there was nothing but swampland and ranches. Southern Pacific made a startling offer to its Wadsworth employees: A tract of land would be laid out next to the roundhouse, and the railroad would give everyone a clear deed to a lot. The railroad offered to pack up every house in Wadsworth and ship it to the new town, free of charge. Sometime during the summer of 1903, a drawing was held with the employees' names in one hat and lot numbers in another. Sixty-seven lots changed title that day, at a price of $1 per lot.

Mystery Book Movie: Insomnia (2002)

Presenter: Kenn Rohrs, OLLI member Sent from the city to investigate the murder of a teenage girl in a small Alaska town, a police detective (Al Pacino) accidentally shoots his own partner while trying to apprehend a suspect. Instead of admitting his guilt, the detective is given an unexpected alibi, but this "solution" only multiplies the emotional complexity and guilt over his partner's death. He's also still got a murder to solve, in addition to the blackmail and framing of an innocent bystander being orchestrated by the man they were chasing. There's also a local detective (Hilary Swank) who is conducting her own personal investigation of his partner's death. Will it all come crashing down on him?

The Student Code of Conduct and Sexual Harassment Policy apply to OLLI and are designed to promote and protect an environment which encourages reasoned discourse, intellectual honesty, openness to constructive change and respect for the rights of all individuals.

In keeping with our mission, OLLI seeks to meet the needs of an engaged learning community.

Examples may include threatening behaviors; disruptive classroom conduct; sexual harassment; violations of weapons, explosives, fireworks, drug and alcohol policies; monopolizing discussions; undermining the instructorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credibility; conversing with others and cell phone and electronic device use not germane to the class experience; poor hygiene and introduction of allergens (e.g., perfumes, scents, lotions and/or foods that interfere with the learning experience of others). The overall goal is to create classroom environments that maximize the learning experience for all members. Quiet in the Classrooms and Halls We encourage members to socialize, but please be quiet during class and in the halls when classes are in session. Cell Phones and other Electronic Devices Remember to turn cell phones and other electronic devices off or to vibrate mode when you are in class.
